In submitting my annual report, ~ re-
quircd BY law, ] have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
It's financial standing at tho present time.
The finances Of the town are 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 Of
Trustees have been governed In exPsndi'
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have boen liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees 10
have the running expenses Of the town a.
low ~ theY could possibly be made and
satisfy tho 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 thom In good condition.
The streets have been we'll attended to
and kept In good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith
fol and energetic In the discharge Of their
duties. The police have been viyilant In
guarding tho interests Of tho town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
arc slways watching for opportunities to
practice thsir uefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man
ner In which they have scquitted them.
/ selves on all occasions when their services
were required. trust tho people OF Gold
Hill will continue to have their interests
guarded In the future BY % an efficient
body Of nremen ~ those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion. would say that our
dutics a Board OF Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon to have Q change Of govern.
ment, the last Legislature disincorporatipg
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, BY which the city OF Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hiii have been cousoll.
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.
A. 1t IL but an experiment, II remains TO
be seen what advantages, II any. will be
gained 10 the business portion Of the town
BY the change. II will, In my estimation,
be found necessary by the incoming ad.
ministrstion TO exercise the greatest dis.
cretion In the management Of Affairs for
tho coming year. =.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what II Was last
year, and 10 likely 10 continue decreasing
unless some Developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO 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
the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me by the mem.

just prids within yourselves that you
have had st al times the best interests Of
the town q heart Your lsbors have bsen
