In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law, ! have deemed IL proper
that tho taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at tho present time.
The finances Of the town are In very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullness Of business tho past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has bcen steadily on the do
crease the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi-
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 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 tho 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 well attended TO
and kept In good order. -,
Tho officers Of the town have been faith
| ful 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 70
practice their nefsrious business.
The Fire Department arc deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man.

were required. I trust the people Of Gold

body Of firemsn a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties a . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold

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 tho interests
OF all concerned would DO furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
A it 10 but an experiment, 10 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.
DO found necessary by the incoming I'd.
ministration 10 exercise the greatest dis.
oretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
bs very much less than what Il was last
year, and 10 likely to 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
they have assisted me In the management
Of town Affairs. Being compelled BY other
business 70 absent myself . good deal from
the town aud from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgsn,
