In submitting my annual report. ~ re-
quired by law, have deemed IL proper
that tho taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of tho condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
Tho finances OF the town are In . very
healthy condition. considering the extreme
dullness OF business tho past year.
The 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 expendi-
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments tho greatest
care have been taken by tho Committees TO
have the running expenses Of the town as
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 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 vigilant IN
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
practice their nefarious business.
Tho Fire Department arc 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 a. an efficient
body Of fremsn as those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion. I would say that our
duties Is o Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill arc soon to have change OF govern
ment, tho last Legislature disincorporsting
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 the interests
of all concerned would be furthered BY
having one government instead OF three.
Az Il is but an experiment, 10 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,

ministration 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 IL was last
year, and IL likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect to a6airs.
sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
they have assisted mo In the management
Of town affairs. Being compelled BY other

the town and from the meetings Of the

spirit manifested toward me by the mem

o Just pride within yourselves that you
have had at al times the best interests Of
the town st heart. Your labors have besn
