In submitting my annual report. - re-
quired by law. ! have deemed 10 proper
that tho taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
Tho 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 the past year, and tho Board Of
Trustees have been governed In expendi'
turss accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
. In tho different departments the greatest
care have been taken BY the Committees to
have the running expenses Of the town as
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 tho 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
iul 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 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 the future by - an efficient
body OF hremsn - those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion. I would say that our
duties a. . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill arc soon to have change Of govern.
ment, the last Legislature disinoorporst
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. II was the opinion OF those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would b 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 10 the business portion Of the town
By the chsnge. Il will, In my estimation.
be found necessary by the incoming Ad.
ministration to exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management Of ahatrs Tor
the coming year. .
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what Il was last
year, and 10 likely 70 continue decreasing
unless some Developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO afairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted me In the management
Of town sffairs. Being compelled BY other
business TO absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me by the mem
bers. In closing your labors you can feel
3 lost pride within yourselves that yoa
have had a Ill times the best interests Of
ths town q hssrt Your lsbors have bssu
sedaous snd Without compensation, oniy
