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 tho town are In very
healthy condition. considering tho extreme
duilness OF business tho past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on tho do.
crease the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi'
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have beon liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses OF tho town a.
low as they could possibly DO made and
satisfy the citizens at largo.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are In tho very best Of
order. Tho Chief Engineer OF tho Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after tho hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended TO
and kept in good order. ...,
The officers Of the town have been faith.
ful and energetic in tho discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigilant In
guarding the interests OF the town and
Keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to

Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded in the future by a. an efhcient
body OF fremen a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion. would say that our
duties as 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 disincorporsting g
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. It Was the opinion OF those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered by
having one government instead OF three.
A IL 10 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,
DO found necessary by tho incoming I'D.
| ministration TO exercise the greatest dis
cretion in the management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
bo very much less than what Il Was last
year, and is 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 other
business 70 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:
