In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired BY law, ] have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citlxens should be
Informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing ct the present time.
Tho finances OF the town are 10 . 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 the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi.
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars

In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken BY the Committees 10
have tho running expenses Of the town -
low as they could possibly bs made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are In the very best OF
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilsnt 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. -.
The officers Of the town have been faith
iul and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police have been vigilsnt 10
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities 10
practice their neiarious business.
The 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. I trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In tho future BY - IN efacient
body Of fremen - those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion, I would say that our
duties a. . Board Of Town Trustees Will
soon b 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 ths city Of Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hill have been consoli.
dated with the county Of Storey In ons
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.
As IL 10 but an experiment., IL remains 70
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained 10 the business portion Of the town
BY the change. Il will, In my estimation,
be found necessary BY the incoming ID.
ministration 70 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 u was last
year, and 10 likely 70 continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give . new aspect 70 ahairs.
I sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted ne 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 indulgent
spirit manifested toward me by the mem.
bers. In closing your lsbors you can feel
a lust pride within yourselves that you
have had st al times the best interests Of
Tie town st heart. Your labors have been
srduous and without compensation, only
such a you must al feel within yourselves

servsnn you have performed the duties
Incumbent upon you and have proved
yourselves deserving the confidence Of the
