In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired BY Law. / have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances OF the town are In very
healthy condition. considering tho extreme
dullness OF business the past year.
Tho revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the de-
crease the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In exPendi'
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of tho town debt have been liquidated.
In tho different departments tho greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses Of the town %
low as they could possibly DO made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
pected with them arc In tho very best oi
order. Tho Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after the hydrsnts and mains. and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended 10
and kept in good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith
ful and energetic In the discharge OF their
duties. Tho police have been viyilant 10
guarding the interests Of tho town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities u
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving oi
much praise for the able and efficient man
ner In which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
we're required. I trust the people OF Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded In the future by % an efficient
body Of firemen a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion. would say that our
duties a. q Board OF Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon TO have change Of govern
ment, the last Legislature edisincorporating
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, BY which the city Of Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hill havo been consoli'
dated with the county OF Storey In one
government. Il was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
Al 10 10 but an experiment, IL remains 70
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 10 exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management Of afiairs Tor
the coming year. -.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what II was last
year. and 10 likely 70 continue decreasing
unless somo developments In the mines
would give new aspect 10 Affairs.
|. sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
thew have assisted me in the management
Of town Affairs. Being compelled BY other
business 70 absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board. I feel grateful for the indulgeni
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.
bers. In closing your labors you can feel
= lust pride within yourselves that you
have had at all times the best interests oi
the town q heart. Your labors have bssr
srduous and without ooupsnsauou. oaly
