In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law. have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citisens should DO
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 tho extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
OF business has been steadily on the de.
crease the past year. and the Board Of
Trustees have been governed In expendi.
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of tho town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses Of the town a.
low a. they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are in tho very best Of
order. The Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after tho 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
full and energetic in the discharge OF their
duties. Tho 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 nefarious business.
The Fire Department arc deserving OF
much praise for tho able and efficient man.
ner In which they have acquitted them
selves on Ill occasions when their services
were required. I trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 70 have their interests
guarded In the future by - an efficient
body Of flremen % those who havo guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties a. q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. Tho people Of Gold
Hill are soon 10 have Q change Of govern.
ment, the last Legislature disincorporsting
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hill havo been consoli-
dated with the county OF Storey In one
government. II Was the opinion Of those
advocating the measure that tho interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead Of three.
A II Is but an experiment, u remains to
be seen what advantages. II any, will be
gained TO the business portion OF tho town
By the change. II will, In my estimation,
be found necessary by the incoming I'd.
ministration 10 exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property viii
be very much less than what II was last
year, and 10 likely 10 continue dscreasing
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 and from the meetings Of the
Board. I feel grateful for the indulgeni
spirit manifested toward me by the mem.

A iust pride within yourselves that you
