In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law, I have deemed It proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
Its financial standing ct the present time.
Tho finances OF tho town are In . very
healthy condition. considering the extreme
dullness Of business tho past year.
Tho revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the do.
crease the past year, and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi-
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
OF the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees 10
have the running expenses Of the town a.
low a. they could possibly bo 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 vigilant 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
ful and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. Tho police have been vigilsnt In
guarding the interests Of tho town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
practice their nefsrious business.
Tho 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. trust the people OF Gold
| Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded in the future by as an efficient
body Of fircmen a. those who have guarded
i 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
| Hill are soon TO have change OF govern.
ment, tho last Legislature disincorporaun
| the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, by which tho 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 tho interests
Of all concerned would be furthered by
having one government instead Of three.
| As IL 10 but an experiment, IL 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 ad.
ministration to exercise the greatest dis.
cretion in tho management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what It Was last
year. and is likely TO continue decreasing
unless some Developments in the mines
would give new aspect 10 afairs.
sincerely thank the members OF the
Board for the vory able manner In which
| they have assisted me In the management
Of town affairs. Being compelled BY other
business to absent myself good deal from
| the town and from the meetings Of the
| Board, I feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward mo by tho mem.
bers. In closing your labors you can feel
q lost pride within yourselves that you
have had at all times the best interests Of
the town st heart. Your labors have BEEN
srduous and without eompsnsadou, only
