In submitting my annual report, - rel
luired by law, I have deemed Il proper
chat the taxpayers and citizens should bel
informed Of the condition Of the town and|
its financial standing at tho present time.
Tho finances OF the town arc In . veryI
|healthy condition, considering the extremt|
lullness OF business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches|
u business has been steadily on the de-
,rease the past year, and thesBoard OIL
Trustees have been governed In expendi.|
,ures accordingly. Five thousand dollarr|
u the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to|
|have the running expenses Of the town al
low a. they could possibly be made and|
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything conf
aected with them are In tho very best OF
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ling after the hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
Tho streets have been well attended to|
and kept in good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith
ful and energetic in the discharge OF their
luties. The police have been vigilant ip
xuarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
practice their neiarious business.
The Fire Department arc deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man
uer in which they have scquitted 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 as an efficient
body Of firemen as those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
luties as . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon DO at an end. The people OF Gold
Hill are soon to have change Of govern
ment, the last Legislature disincorporating
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
goyernment. II was the opinion Of thoss
advocating the measure that the interests
OF all concerned would be furthercd by
having one government instead Of three.
As IL is but an experiment, IL remains to
be seen what advantages, II any. will be
gained TO the business portion OF the town
by the change. II will, In my estimation,
be found necessary by the incoming ad.
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 tho mines
would give . new aspect to 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 othes
business TO absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgen,
spirit manifested toward me by the mem.
