In submitting my annual report. as re-
quired by law. have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances Of the town arc 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 Board oi
Trustees have been governed In expendi'
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the 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 ..
low as they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens ut large.
The water works and everything con-
uected with them are In the very best ol
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 well attended tc
and kept In good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith
ful and energetic in the 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 "a
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving oi
much praise for the able and Efficient man
ner In which they have scquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
were required. I trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future by a. an efficient
body Of firemen a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, I would say that oui
duties a. . Board Of Town Trustees viii
soon be at an end. The people OF Cole
Hill are soon to have . change OF govern
ment. the last Legislature disincorporatint
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill. by which the city Of Virginia and th'
town Of Gold Hill have been consoli
dated with the county Of Storey in ont

be seen what advantages, II any. will b
gained to the business portion OF the towr
by the change. II will, In my estimation
be found necessary by the incoming ad
ministration to exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the management OF Affairs fo
the coming year. .,
The revenue from taxable property vii
be very much less than what 1t was las
year, and is likely to continue decreasinl
unless some developments In the mine
would give new aspect TO Affairs.
| I sincerely thank the members OF tn
Board for the very able manner In whicl
they have assisted me In the Management
Of town affairs. Being compelled by othe
business to absent myself good deal from
| the town and from the meetings OF th
Board. feel grateful for the indulsen
spirit manifested toward me by the mem
bers. In closing your labors you can fee
. just pride within yourselves that yo'
have had at all times the best interests
the town at heart. Your labors have beel
arduous and without compensation. onl
such as you must all feel within yourselve
