AUDITORS' REPORT.
THE AUDITORS appointed at the annual meeting in March, 1876, submit their Report.
They have carefully examined the accounts of the Selectmen, Treasurer, and Treasurer of the Woodward Fund, and find the same correctly kept, with proper vouchers for all expenditures. The bills paid are carefully itemized, and no account is allowed without due attention to this important item.
They have also visited the Almshouse, and find the same neat and in such condition as the buildings will warrant, and good care taken of the inmates by the Superintendent. A new barn has been built upon the premises during the past year, to re- place the one burned in March last, and is a good and substan- tial building.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
"TO THE INHABITANTS :-
The Selectmen beg leave to present herewith their annual report for the year ending Feb. 1, 1877.
It will be noticed that, in some of the accounts, the expenses exceed the appropriations. .
In the matter of highways, a large amount of stone-work was found necessary, from various causes, during the early part of the year. Later in the season, it was found that the building of Robertson's block had closed the outlet of the drain which carried away the water from the square. The Surveyors were therefore obliged to provide some other means of drainage, and it was considered best to pave a gutter on Hancock Street, lead- ing to the brook. In addition to this, the fact that a large number of persons who have a settlement in the town required assistance, either by giving them work or by helping from the town appropriation for the support of poor, rendered it advisa- ble, in the opinion of the Selectmen, to expend, if necessary, the amount appropriated for highways, exclusive of labor from the Almshouse. The unusual amount of snow has caused the miscellaneous expenses of highways to exceed the appropria- tion.
The excess in the account of town officers was partially caused by the sums paid for the part of the year previous to March 1, 1876, and for enforcing the by-laws.
In the account of miscellaneous (town) expenses, the excess is partly due to an adverse decision in a lawsuit against the town.
During the year there have been numerous calls for help for the support of the poor, especially from a large number who have a settlement in Quincy, but are now residents of other
(6)
-
7
towns. This fact, together with the rebuilding of the barn, and the replacing of the harnesses, &c., destroyed by fire at the Almshouse, has naturally caused a large expenditure.
The excess above the appropriation for bridges was caused by the almost entire new planking of Neponset Bridge, it being found necessary to make it safe for travel.
JOHN Q. A. FIELD, EDMUND B. TAYLOR, HENRY F. BARKER, Selectmen of Quincy.
