SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY: -
In compliance with a vote passed at the last annual town meeting, the Selectmen beg leave to present herewith their report of the receipts and expenditures of the town during the year ending Feb. 1, 1876.
It will be noticed that the amounts expended for miscella- neous expenses, and for the fire department, have exceeded the appropriations. The excess in the former was largely caused by the fact that the town by vote directed that the cost ($756.50) of the preparation of the list of tax-payers and taxable property should be paid from that appropriation. The unusually large number of fires during the year has caused the excess in the latter.
No other items in the report need any special mention.
Respectfully submitted,
ENSIGN S. FELLOWS, WILLIAM A. HODGES, & Selec Selectmen. JOHN Q. A. FIELD,
