In submitting my annual report, a. re-
quired by law, have deemed IL proper
that the taxpayers and citizens should DO
informed Of the condition Of the town and
its financial standing at tho present time.
The finances OF tho town are In . 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 cxpendi-
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have boon liquidated.
In the different departments the greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses OF the town as
low as they could possibly DO made and
satisfy the citizens at large.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them arc in 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 we'll attended to
and kept in good order. .
The officers Of the town have been faith.
full and energetic in the discharge OF their
duties. The police have been vigilsnt In
guarding tho interests Of the town and
keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities to
practice their nefarious business.
The Fire Department are deserving OF
much praise for the able and efficient man
ner in which they have 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 the future by a. an efficient
body Of firemen as those who have guarded
them in the past.
In conclusion, I would say that our
duties as Q Board Of Town Trustees will
soon bo at an end. Tho people Of Gold
Hill are soon to have change OF govern.
ment, the last Legislature edisincorporating
the town aud 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 tho measure that the interests
OF all concerned would be furthered by
having one government instead Of three.
As 1t 10 but an experiment. II remains to
be seen what advantages, II any. will DO
gained TO the business portion Of the town
by the change. 1t will, in my estimation.
be found necessary by the incoming ad.
ministration to exercise the greatest dis
cretion in the management Of affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
10 very much less than what II was last
year. and 10 likely TO continue decreasing
unless some developments In the mines
would give new aspect TO affairs.
/ 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 to 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.

a just pride within yourselves that you
have bad Al all times the best interests Of
The town at heart. Your labors have bssn
