In submitting my annual report, ~ re-
quired by law. ! have doomed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of ths condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances Of the town are In very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullness Of business tho past year.
The revenue from the different branches
OF business has been steadily on The dc.
crease the past year. and the Board Of
Trustees have been governed In sxpendi.
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
care have been taken by the Committees TO
have the running expenses OF the town -
low as they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at largo.
The water works and everything con.
uected with them are In the very best OF
order. The Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after tho hydrsnts 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 havo been faith.
fui and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police have been vigilsnt In
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 are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man.
DER In which they have acquitted them.
selves on all occasions when their services
we're required. trust tho people Of Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by a. an efficient
body Of hremsn a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion. / would say that our
duties - Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon 70 have change OF govern.
msnt. the last Legislature disincorporatin
the town aud passing the Consolidation
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and tho
town Of Gold Hill have been consoli.
dated with the county OF Storey In one
government. 1t was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interesta
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
Al 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. It will. In my estimation,
be found necessary by the incoming I'D.
mtnistration 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 Ii was last
year. and 10 likely TO continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO affairs.
sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted me In the management
Of town AFFAIR.". Being compelled BY other
business TO absent myself good deal from
Board, ! feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me by the mem.
bers. In closing your labors you can feel
Just pride within yourselves that 700
have had at Ill times the best iutsrssts Of
the town at heart. Your labors have been
arduous and without sompsnsstiou, only
