In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law. I have deemed IL proper
that tho taxpayers and citisens should DO
informed OF the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the presep<-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 de-
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 liquidsted.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses OF the town a.
low a. 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 70
and kept In good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith
fol and energetic In the discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigilsnt In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious charactsrs who
are always watching for opportunities 70
practice their nefsrious business.
The Fire Department arc deserving Of
much praise for the able and efdcient man.
nsr In which they have acquitted thsm'
selves on all occasions whom their services
were required. I trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In the future by - an efficient
body Of hremsn - those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conolusion, I would say that our
duties % . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at IN end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon 10 have change Of govern.
ment, the last Legislature disincorporating
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. Il Was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of ali concerned would be furthsred By
having one government Instead Of three.
Al Il 10 but an experiment., 10 remains TO
bs seen what advantages. II any, viii b
gained 10 the business portion OF the town
By the change. II will. In my sstimation,
be found necessary BY the incoming ID.
ministration 70 exercise the grestest dis
crstion In the Management Of affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what IL was last
year, and 10 likely 10 continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 70 Affairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
| thsy have assisted me In the management
Susipess 70 abssnt myself good deal from

Board. I fssl grateful for the indulgsnt
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.

Just pride within yourselves that you
