AUDITORS' REPORT.
THE undersigned, Auditors of Accounts of the town of Quincy for the year ending February 1, 1874, hereby report that they have examined the books of the Selectmen, Town Treasurer, and Treasurer of the Woodward Fund, and find them correctly kept, with proper vouchers for all payments made.
It will be noticed that the account of repairs of Highways does not specify the different districts in which the payments have been made, as has been the custom in former years. The reason of this change in the report is that the district accounts have not been kept separately during the year.
The town has made large appropriations for town expenses in years past, and the increase of expenses is out of proportion to the increase of population or wealth. We therefore recommend that the town now commence a system of economy by reducing the appropriations in each department to the lowest figure con- sistent with its efficiency.
JOSEPH W. ROBERTSON, D. HOWARD BILLS, ISAIAH WHITE, JOHN Q. A. FIELD, ELEAZER FREDERICK.
SELECTMENS' REPORT.
ALTHOUGH it has not been the custom of late years for the Selectmen to make any report or recommendation to the town, we deem it advisable, as the custodians of its financial matters, and as better acquainted with its affairs than other persons, to bring to the attention of the voters such matters as may seem to demand their attention.
It will be noticed by the Auditors' Report that the town debt has largely increased. We wish to state that this increase is not wholly due to the ordinary expenses, but mainly to the amount of $28,249 18 above appropriation, paid for new school- houses, ordered by votes of the town at regular meetings, and to the amount of $3,638 09 above appropriation, expended, during the present year, on Newport Avenue, ordered by the County Commisioners. These were extraordinary expenses, which will probably not occur again for some years, and it should be expected that the condition of the town will be much better at the end of the next year.
As regards the matter (mentioned in the Auditors' Report) of showing the expenses of the Highways under the head of the various districts, we would say that as the town makes its ap- propriation for Highways in one sum, with no directions as to where it shall be expended, we unanimously agreed that it was no more desirable to keep the repairs of Highways under sepa- rate districts, than that any other expense should be so kept. If, however, the town wishes the Surveyors to so keep their ac- counts, we would recommend a vote to that effect. The excess of expenditures on repairs of Highways over the appropriation
7
was partly caused by the amounts paid out for work on Knox's Hill and Souther's Hill. The cost of the former ($585 28) was incurred because of the crossing of the Street by the Old Col- ony Railroad, by which it was left in an unsafe state, which it was necessary to remedy. The town will have a claim on the Railroad Company for the expense of putting it in a safe condi- tion. The work on Souther's Hill, amounting to about $1,200 00, was entered upon because it had been the opinion of many that it should be done, and in view of the prevailing impression that the Quincy Point Horse Railroad was soon to be built and would be a great benefit to the town, it was thought that the cutting down could be done at less cost and more conveniently before the track was laid.
The expenses of the Fire Department have exceeded the ap- propriation, on account of the purchase of needed hose and the increase of the pay of the department after the estimate of ex- penses was made.
In conclusion, in view of the large and constantly increasing transactions of the town, we consider it our duty to remind it that it should follow the same rule which any business man would adopt. If it wants its work well done, it must elect as officers men who are particularly fitted for the duties which they are to perform. It is important for the interests of the town that its affairs should be managed by practical men, with prac- tical ideas of the duties they undertake, and that matter should be looked after in the selection of its officers.
