In submitting my annual report, - re.
auired By law, I have deemed II proper
that tho taxpayers and citizens should DO
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at tho present time.
Tho 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 do.
crease the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed in expendi-
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars

In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees TO
have the running expenses Of the town a.
low a. they could possibly be made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are In tho very best OF
order. The Chief Engineer Of the Fire
Department has been very vigilant In look.
ing after che hydrants and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well 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 viyilant In
guarding the interests Of tho town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities 10
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and eficient man.
ner In which they have scquitted 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 - an efficient
body Of hremen - those who have guarded
them In the past.
In copclusion, I would say that our
duties a. q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon TO have . change OF govern.
ment, tho last Legislature disincorporating
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.
Az Il Il but an experiment, IL remains 10
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
gained TO the business portion Of the town
BY the change. II will. In my estimation.
be found necessary BY the incoming I'd.
ministrahon 10 exercise the greatest dis.
cretion In the Management OF adstrs Tor
the coming year. =.
The revenue from taxable property will
bs very much less than what Il was last
year, and 10 likely 10 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 sffairs. 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 indulgent
,pirit manifested toward me BY the mem.
