AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1877, respectfully report that they have examined the accounts of the Treasurer and Collector and find the same correctly kept, with proper vouchers for all payments. They find that the amount of cash on hand by the Treasurer's Report is at his credit on the books of the Mount Wollaston Bank.
They have also examined the accounts of the Treasurer of the Woodward Fund, and find that he has proper vouchers for all payments, and that the balance of cash on hand is deposited in bank, and that the securities in his possession agree with the schedule given in his statement.
They have scrutinized and verified the accompanying ac- count of the Selectmen, and find proper vouchers for all pay- ments made by them. The account is correct and properly kept, and the amount of money there stated as drawn by the Selectmen from the Treasurer corresponds with the amount charged to them on his books.
By a vote of the town at the last annual town meeting the Auditors of Accounts were directed " in their future reports to specify the names of all town officers who, during the year in- cluded in such report, may have authorized or incurred the expenditure of any sums of money in excess of appropriations for that year, together with the amount of expenditure." It is their duty, therefore, to report that the Selectmen, Messrs. William A. Hodges, Ensign S. Fellows, and John Chamberlin, have exceeded the appropriations in the following accounts : -

It is, however, fair to the Selectmen to state that the amounts expended in all the accounts for the past year, taken together, are less than the appropriations, by the sum of $5,200.61.
The net amount of the town debt has been decreased $23,627.22 during the past year, reducing it to $35,400.09.
The illness of Mr. Henry F. Barker has prevented him from taking part in the labors of the Auditors, and will account for the absence of his signature to this report.
