In submitting my annual report, ~ re-
quired by law. ! have deemed u proper
that tho taxpayers and'citisens should DO
informed Of the condition Of the town and
It's financial standing st the present time.
The finances OF the town are In . very
healthy condition. considering tho extreme
dullness Of business the 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 expendi-
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of tho town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees 70
have the running expenses Of the town a.
low as they could possibly be mado and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are In tho very best Of
order, The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Depsf ftment has been very vigilsnt In look.
ing after the 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 tho town have been faith
ful 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 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. trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In tho future by % an efficient
body OF iremen a those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
dutos a. Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at IN end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon to have change OF govern
ment. the last Legislature disincorporating
tho 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. II was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government Instead OF three.
Az IL 10 but an experiment, IL remains TO
be seen what advantages, II any. will be
gained 10 the business portion Of the town
by the change. II will, In my estimstion,
be found necessary BY the incoming I'd.
ministration 70 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 10 continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO adairs.
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 tie indulgent
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.

Q Just pride within yourselves that you
have had st al umse the best intsrssts of
The town q heart. Your labors have bssu
srduous and without compensation. only
