In submitting my annual report, - re-
quired by law. I have deemed II 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 the town are 10 . very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dullness Of business the past year.
Tho 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 expendi.
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the towu debt have been liquidsted.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have tho running expenses Of the town -
low a thoy 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 tho Fire
Department has been very vigilsut 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 the discharge OF their
duties. Tho police have been vigilsnt 10
guarding the interests Of the town and
Seeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefsrious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for tho able and efficient man
ner In which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
wore required. trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their interests
guarded In the future by ~ an eficient
body Of hremen a. those who have guarded
them in tho past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties a. Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at IN 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. 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 tho change. II will, In my estimation.
| be found necessary BY the incoming ad.
| ministration 70 exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the Management Of Affairs for
the coming year. -.
The revenue from taxable property will
i be very much less than what Il was last
| year, and IL likely 10 continue decreasing
unless some dsvelopments In the mines
| would give new aspect 70 adairs.
sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for the very able manner In which
| they have assisted me In the management
Of town anairs. Being compelled By other
/ business 70 absent myself good deal from
| the town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for the indulsent
| spirit manifested toward me By the mem.

Just pride within yourselves That yon
