In submitting my annual report. - re-
quired BY law, have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citisens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
in 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 the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the de-
crease the past year. and the Bosrd OF
Trustees have been governed In sxpendi-
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have besn liquidated.
In the different departments the grestest
care have been taken BY the Committees 70
have the running expenses Of the town -
low % they could possibly b made and
satisfy the citizens st large.
The water works and everything con.
neoted 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
keebing them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended 70
and kept ip good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith.
ful and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police have been vigilsnt 10
guarding ths interests Of the town and
keeping away Suspicious chsrsctsrs who
are always watching for opportunities 10
practice thsir nsfsrious business.
The Fire Department are deserving Of
much praise for the able and efficient man.
nsr In which they have scquitted them.
selves on al occssions when their services
we're required. trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In the future BY - an efhoisni
body Of hrsmsn - those who have guarded
thsn In the past.
In ooncluiion, would say that our
duties - . Board Of Town Trustees will
seon b st an end. The people Of Gold
Hill ara soon 70 have change Of govern
msnt. the last Lsgislsture disinoorporstins
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, BY which the city Of Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hill hsve been consoli'
dated with the county Of Storey In one
Government. II was the opinion OF thoe>
advocating the measure that the interests
Of ali concerned would b furthered by
having one government instead Of three.
Az Il q bat an experiment, u remains u
be sssn what advantages, II any, will b
gained 70 the business portion Of the town
by the change. Il will, In my estimation,
be found necessary By the incoming ID
ministrstion 10 exercise the greatest dis
orstion In the Management Of Affairs 70,
the coming year.
The revenue from taxsbls property viii
b very much less than what II was las,
year, and 10 likely 70 oontinus dsoressinl

would give new aspect 70 ahstfs.
