In submitting my annual report. - 70.
quired by law. have deemed II proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
iu financial standing at the present time.
Tho finances OF tho town arc 10 . very
healthy condition. oonsidering 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 sxpendi.
lures 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 -
low a. they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at largo.
The water works and everything con.
uected with them are 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 we'll attended 70

we're required. TRUST the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In the future by - an efficient
body Of Hremen a. 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 are soon TO have change Of govern.

dated with the county Of Storey in ono
government. II was the opiuion Of those
advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would DO furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
As IL 10 but an experiment, IL remains TO
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained TO the business portion Of the town

be found necessary BY the incoming I'd.

/ cretfon In the management OF Affairs for
the coming year.
Tho revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what Il Was last
year. and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments In the minss
would give new aspect To Affairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very Ablo manner In which
they have assisted mo In the management
Of town Affairs. Being compelled by other
business 10 absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board. I feel grateful for the indulgsnt
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.

lust pride within yourselves that you
have had at al nmss the bsst inssrssts Of
