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 the town arc 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 de-
crease the past year. and the Board OF
Trustees have been governed In expendi-
lures accordingly. Five thousand dollars
Of the town debt have been liquidated.
In tho different departments tho greatest
care have been taken by the Committees to
have the running expenses Of the town ss
low - they could possibly be made and
satisfy tho citizens at largo.
The water works and everything con.
nected with them are 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.
Tho streets have been well 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 vigilant In
guarding the interests Of the town and
| keeping away suspicious characters who
are always watching for opportunities TO
practice their nefarious business.
Tho Fire Department arc deserving Of
much praise for the able and efficient man
nsr In which they have acquitted them
selves on all occasions when their services
wero required. ! trust tho people Of Gold
Hill will continue TO have their interests
guarded in tho future by n az efficient
body Of fremen a those who have guarded
them In the past.
In conclusion, I would say that our
duties a. . Board Of Town Trustees will
o be at an end. Tho people OF Gold
Hill are soon 10 have Q change OF govern
ment, the last Legislature disincorporating
the town and passing the Consolidation
bill, by which the city Of Virginia and the
town Of Gold Hill have been CONSOLE
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 DO furthered by
having ono government instead Of three.
As II lie but IN experiment, IL remains to
DO seen what advantages, II any. will be
gained to the business portion Of tho town
by the change. II will. in my estimation,
DO found necessary BY the incoming I'D.
m%inistration 10 exercise the greatest dis
erection in the management Of Affairs for
the coming year.
The revenue from taxable property will
DO very much less than what II was last
year, and 10 likely to continue decreasing
unless some developments in tho mines
would give Q new aspect 70 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 tho mem
bers. In closing your labors you can feel
. lust pride within yourselves that you
have had ct al times the best interests Of
the town at heart. Your lsbors have been
arduous and without compensation. only
such a. you must all feel within yourselves
that gratifying reminder that a. public
servants you have performed the duties
incumbent upon you and have proved
yourselves deserving the confidence Of the
people Of Gold Hill. L. T. Fox.
President Of the Board Of Trustees.
