In submitting my annual report, - re-
auired BY law, ! have deemed u proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should be
Informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at the present time.
The finances OF the town are In . very
healthy condition, considering the extreme
dulluess Of business the past year.
The revenue from the different branches
Of business has been steadily on the dc.
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 the greatest
care have been taken BY the Committees 70
have the running expenses Of the town -
low a. they could possibly b made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nectsd 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 hydrsnts and mains, and
keeping them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended 70
and kept In good order.
The oficers Of the town have been faith.
iul and energetic In the discharge Of thsir
duties. The police have been viyilaut In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities 70
practice their nsfarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efacisut man.
nsr In which they have acquitted thsm.
selves on all occasions when their services
were required. trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue 10 have their intsresb
guarded In the future BY - an efcient
BODY Of hremen - those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion, would say that our
duties % Board Of Town Trustees Will
soon b st On end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soop to have change Of govern.
ment the last Legislature disincorporsting
| the town and passing the Consolidauon
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and me
town Of Gold Hill have been console
dated with the county OF Storey IN one
government. II was the opinion OF thoee
advocating the measure that the interests
Of ell concerned would b furthered. ~
having one government instead OF three.
AZ Il q but An experiment, IL remains 70
be seen what advantages, II any, Will b
gained 70 the business portion Of the town
by the change. II will, In my estimation,
BE- found necessary By the incoming ID.
ministrstion 10 exercise the greatest dis
cretion In the Management OF ahairs for
the coming year. -.
The revenue from taxable property will
bs very much less than what u wss last
year, and 10 likely 70 continue decreasing
unless some dsvslopments In the mines
would give new aspect 10 Affairs.
