In submitting my annual report, a. re-
quired by law, I havo deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should DO
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances Of tho town are In Q very
healthy condition. considering the extrome
dullness Of business the past year.
The revenue from tho different branches
OF business has been steadily on the do
crease the past year. and the Board Of
Trustees have been governed In expendi.
turss accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
caro- have been taken by tho Committees to
have tho running expenses Of tho town as
low Is they could possibly DO made and
| satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are in the very best OF
order. The Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilsnt In look.
ing after tho hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended to
and kept In good order.
The officers OF the town have been faith
| ful and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police have been viyilant In
guarding the interests OF the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving Of
much praise for the able and efficient man
ner In which they have acquitted them.
selves on all occasions when their services
were required. I trust the people OF Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by - an efficient
body Of fremen as those who have guarded
them IN the past.
In conclusion. would say that our
duties as . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon bo at an end. The people Of Gold
/ Hill are soon to have Q 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 havo been consoli.

government. II was the opinion OF those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would b furthered BY
/ having one government instead Of three.
Al II IL but an experiment., 10 remsins 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'

the coming year.
Tho revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what II was last
year. and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments In the miucs
would give new aspect to ahairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which

Of town affairs. Being compelled By other

the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, ! feel grateful for tie indulgent
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.
