In submitting my annual report, ~ re-
quired by law. ! hayo deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at tho present time.
Tho finances Of tho town are In . very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullncss Of business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
OF business has been steadily on the de-
crease tho past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expcndi.
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 0f tho town a.
low as they could possibly DO made and
satisfy the citizens Ut large.
Tho water works and everything con.
pected with them are In the very best Of
order. Tho Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look:
ing after tho hydrsnts and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended 70
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 viyilant 10
guarding the interests OF tho town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department arc deserving Of
much praise for the able and efficient man.

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 a. an efficient
body Of firemen as those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties as Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon to have change OF govern.

dated with the county Of Storey In ono
government. II was the opinion OF those
Advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instesd OF three.
As 10 10 but an experiment, IL remains to
DO seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained to the business portion Of the town
by the change. 1t will. In my estimation,
be found necessary by the incoming ad.
ministration TO exercise the greatest dis.
cretiou In the management Of Affairs for
the coming year. -,
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what It was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some Developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO 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 TO absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgsnt
spirit manifested toward me by the mem.

q lost pride within yourselves that you
have had at al times the best interests Of
the town at heart. Your lsbors have been
sfduous and without compensated, saiy
