In submitting my annual report, a. re-
auired by law, ! have deemed II proper
that the 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 the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
OF business has been steadily on The de-
crease tho past year, and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed in expendi-
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of tho 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 a.
low as they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them arc In the very best OF
order. Tho 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 to
and kept In good order.
Tho officers Of the town have been faith-
fol and energetic in tho 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 TO
practice their nefarious business.
Tho 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 efficien,
body OF firemen ~ those who have guarded
ihem in the past.
In conclusion. I would say that our
duties as . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon DO at an end. The people OF Gold
| Hill are soon to have change OF govern
ment, tho 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. 1t was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that tho interests
| Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having ono government instead OF three
As IL il 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 sd'
ministration to exercise tho greatest dis
cretion in the management Of Affairs foi
the coming year. -,
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what 1t was las,
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO Affairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of th,
Board for the very able manner In which
tbsy have assisted me in the Management,
Of town affairs. Being compelled BY otheI
business 10 absent myself . good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of th'
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgen
spirit manifested toward me by the mem
bers. In closing your lAbors you can fee
lust pride within yourselves that yor
have had at al times the best interests O
the town at heart. Your labors have beer
srduous and without compensation, oni.
