In submitting my annual report, - re-
auired by law, I have deemed Il proper
that the taxpayers and oitisens 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 tho past year, and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi-
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
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 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 vigilant 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 the town have been faith
full 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 70
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department arc deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient o N.
ner in which they have acquitted y.em.
selves on all occasions when their service:
were required. i trust tho people OF Gold
Hill will CONTINUES TO havo their interesu
guarded In the future by ~ an eficient
body Of aremen a. those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion. would say that our
duties a. Board Of Town Trustees will
soon bo at an end. Tho people OF Gold
| Hill arc soon TO have change Of govern.
ment. tho last Legislature disincorporat
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. 1t was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
| of all concerned would be furthered BY
/ having one government instead Of three.
As Il is but an experiment. IL remains 70
| be seen what advantages, II any. will be
| gained 70 the business portion Of tho town
| By the change. 1t will, In my estimation,
be found necessary BY tho incoming ID.
/ ministration TO exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management OF sfairs for
the coming year. -.
The revenue from taxable property viii
| be very much less than what Il Was last
year, and 10 likely TO continue decreasing
i unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO affsirs.
I sincerely thank tho members OF the
/ Board for the very able manner In which
| they have assisted mo In the management
Of town Affairs. Being compelled By Other
business 70 absent myself good deal from
the town and from the neetings Of the
Board. I feel grateful for tie indulgsut
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem:
bers. In closing your labors you can feel
lost pride within yourselves that 700
have bad as Ill times The bsss intsrests Of
| tbs town at heart Your hbors hare been
srduous and without sonpensadoa, eeiy
