In submitting my annual report. - re-
auired BY law, ] have deemed 10 proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
informed Of the condition Of the town and
Its financial standing st tho present time.
The 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 the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expsndi.
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have tho running expenses OF the town ~
low % they could possibly DO made and
satisfy the citizens at largo.
The water works and everything con.
nectod with them are In the very best OF
order. The 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 70
and kept In good order.
The officers Of the town have been faith
ful 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
are always watching for opportunities 70
practice their nsfirious busin,ss.
Tho Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for tho able and efficient man.
usr In which they have acquitted them
selves on oil occasions when their services
we're required. trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded In the future by a. an efficient
body Of Hremsu % those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, ! would say that our
duties a. Q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon 10 have change OF govern.
meut, tho last Legislature disinoorporst
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hill havo been consoli.
dated with the county Of Storey In ono
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.
Al Il 10 but an experiment. IL remains to
be seen what advantages, II any, will be
BY the change. II will. In my estimation.
be found necessary BY the incoming Cd.
ministration 10 exercise tho greatest dis.
cre,ion 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 II likely TO continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect 70 Affairs.
I 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.
bsrs. In closing your lsbors you can feel
4 just pride within yourselves that yop
hsys had % al times the beat intsrssts Of
IT. town st heart .Your lsbors have ben
srduous and Without oonppnsaton, ooly
