In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by Law. I have deemed it proper
chat the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of ths condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances Of the town are in . very
dullness OF business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the dc.
crease the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi.
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.

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 st large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are In the very best OF
order. Tho Chief Engineer OF the Fire
Department has been very vigilsnt 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 tho 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 occasions when their services
were required. trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In tie future by a. an efficient
body Of fremen a. those who have guarded
them in the past.
In oonciusion. would say that our
duties as Q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon bo at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill arc soon 10 have change Of govern.
ment, the last Legislature disincorporati
| 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. 1t was the opiuion Of those
Advocating the measure that the interests
Of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instesd OF three.
As it 10 but an experiment, IL remains TO
be ssen what advantages, II any. will be
gained TO the business portion Of the town
BY the change. It will, In my estimation.
be found necessary by tho incoming id.
ministrstion 70 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 ID WAS last
year. and 10 likely TO continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 70 Affairs.
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 10 absent myself good deal from
tho town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgsnt
spirit manifested toward me by the mem.
bsrs. In closing your lsbors you can feel
lust pride within yourselves that Jon
have bad as al timss ths best interests a
