In submitting my annual report, - 70.
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 st the present time.
The finances Of the town are 10 very
healthy condition. cvnsidering the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
Tho 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 expepdi.
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 TO
have the running expenses Of the town ~
low a. they could possibly be 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 hydrsnts 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. The police have been viyilant 10
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefarious 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 occssions when their services
were required. ! trust the people OF Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded In the future by - IN efficient
body Of fremen a. those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion. I would say that our
duties a. . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. Tho people Of Gold
Hill are soon 10 have change Of govern.
ment, the last Legislature disiucorporati
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, BY which the 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 the 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 70 the business portion Of the town
by the change. It will, In my estimation,
be found necessary BY the incoming I'd.
ministration 10 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 Il was last
year, and 10 likely TO continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 70 afAirs.
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 70 absent myself good deal from
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, ] feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.

Just pride within yourselves that you
