In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law. have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should DO
informed Of the condition Of tho 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 tho different branches
Of business has been steadily c. tho dc.
crease the past year, and tho Board OF
Trustees have been governed In cxpendi-
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
OF the town debt have been liquidsted.
In the different departments the greatest
care have becn taken by tho Committees 10
have the running expenses Of the town %
low As they could possibly DO made and
satisfy the citizens at largo.
The water works and everything con-
nected with them are 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.
The officers Of the town have been faith
iul and energetic In tho discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigilant in
guarding the 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
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 firemen a. those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion, ] would say that our
du,,es ss q Board OF Town Trustees will
soon DO at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon TO 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. II was the opinion OF those
advocating the measure that the interests
OF all concerned would be furthered by
having one government instead Of three.
A IL 10 but an experiment, IL remains 70
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained TO the business portion Of the town
BY the change. Il will, In my estimation,
be found necessary by the incoming cd.
ministration to exercise the greatest dis.
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what 1t was last
year, and 10 likely 70 continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 10 afairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
BOARD for the very able manner In which
thew have assisted me In the management
OF town Affairs. Being compelled BY other
business to absent myself good deal from
the town and from tho meetings Of the
Board. I feel grateful for tie indulgent
,pirit manifested toward me by the mem.
bers. In closing your lsbors you can feel
A iust pride within yourselves that you
have had st al times the best interests Of
| lie town ss heart. Your labors have bsen
srduous and without eompsusssien, only
