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 ct tho present time.
The finances OF the town are In very
healthy condition. considering the extreme
dullness OF business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the 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 been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses OF the town ~
low a. they could possibly be made and
/ satisfy the citizens ut 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 hydrsnts 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

duties. The police have been vigilsnt 10
guarding the interests OF the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who

we're required. I trust the people OF Gold
Hill will continus to have their interests
guarded In the future by a. an efficient
body Of fremen a. those who have guarded

In conclusion, I would say that our
duties as . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold

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.
As It 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,
be found necessary by the incoming id.
ministration TO exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year. =.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much lrss than what II was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some Developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO a6airs.
