In submitting my annual report. ~ rs-
quired BY law, ! have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and cltisens should be
informed OF the condition Of the town and
Its financial standing at the present time.
The finances OF the town are 10 . very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dulluess OF business the past year.
Tho revenue from the different branches
OF business has been steadily on the do.
crease the past year. and the Board Of
Trustees have been governed In expendi.
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidsted.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees TO
have the running expenses Of the town a.
low a. they could possibly bs made and
satisfy the citisens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nectsd with them are IN the very best Of
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilsnt In look.
Ing after the hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended 70
and kept In good order.
Tho officers Of the town have been faith
fuI and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police have been viyilant 10
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefarious busin.ss.
The Fire Department arc deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man.
usr In which they have acquitted them.
selves on all occasions when their services
we're required. TRUST the people Of Gold
Hill will continue to have their Interests
guarded in the future by IS sn eficient
body Of Aremsn a. those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion, I would say that our
duties As . Board OF Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill srs soon to have change Of govern.
ment, the last Legislature disincorpors
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, BY which the city Of Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hill have been consoli.
dated with the county Of Storey In one
government. II was the opinion OF those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthercd BY
having one government instead Of three.
Al Il is but an experiment, IL remains to
be seen what advantages. II any. will be
gained 10 the business portion Of the town
by the change. It will. in my estimation,
Be found necessary by the incoming sd.
ministration TO exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what Il Was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 70 Affairs.
I sincerely thank the members OF the
| Board for the very able manner in which
they have assisted me In the management
Of town Affairs. Being compelled by other
business to absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board. I feel grateful for the iudulgent
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem:
bers. In closing your labors you ean feel
s3ipst pride within yourselves that you
have had at all umss the best interests Of
the sowp u hssrt. Your lsbors have bsen
ssdsess and wishoet eoupsnsaton, only
