In submitting my Annual report. ~ re-
quired by law. have deemed IL proper
that tho taxpayers and citissns 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 the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on tho 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
ARE have been taken by the Committees 10
have tho running expenses Of the town -
low a. they could possibly be made and
satisfy tho citizens at large.
Tho water works and everything con.
nected with them arc In tho 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 well attended 70
and kept In good order.
Tho officers Of the town have been faith
fol and energetic In the discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigilsnt In
guarding tho interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities 70
practice their nefsrious business.
Tho Fire Department arc deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man
ner In which they have acquitted them
solves on all occasions when their services
were required. trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In tho future by - an efficient
body Of fremen a. those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion. I would say that our
duties a. Board Of Town Trustees will
soon DO At an 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 all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead OF three.
Al IL Ia but an experiment, II remains to
be seen what advantages, II any. will DO
gained to the business portion Of the town
BY the change. Il will. In my estimation,
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
bs very much less than what u was last
year, and 10 likely 10 continue decrea:ing
unless some developments In tho mines
would give new aspect 70 anatrs.
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 tho meetings OF the
Board, feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.
