quired by law, ] have deemed IL proper
that tho 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 tho 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 boen governed In expendi-
tures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidsted.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
hsvo the running expenses OF the town -
low a they could possibly DO made and
satisfy tho citizens at largo.
The water works and everything con.
pected with them arc 10 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 them In good condition.
The streets have been well attended 70
and kept in good order.
The officers Of tho town have been faith
ful and energetic In the discharge OF thsir
duties. The police have been vigilant In
guarding the interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities 70
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man.
ner in which they havo acquitted them.
selves on all OCCASIONS when their services
were required. trust the people Of Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded In tho future by a. an efficient
body Of dremsn % those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conolusion, I would say that our
duties as . Board Of Town Trustees will
soon be at an end. The people Of Gold
Hill are soon 10 have change OF govern
ment, the last Legislature dlsincorpora
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. It 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 is but An experiment, Il remains TO
be seen what advantages, II any. will be
gained TO tho business portion Of the town
BY the change. II will, in my estimation.
be found necessary by the incoming Cd.
ministration To exercise the greatest dis.
cretion In the management Of ahairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
be very much less than what II was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments n the mines
would give new aspect 10 Affairs.
sincerely thank the members Of the
Board for tho very able manner In which
they have assisted mo In the management
Of town Affairs. Being compelled BY other
business 10 absent myself good deal from
tho town and from the meetings Of the
Board, I feel grateful for. the indulgent
spirit manifested toward me BY the mem.
