AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY :-
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1878, 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 National Mount Wollaston and National Granite Banks.
They have also examined the accounts of the Treasurer of the Woodward Fund, and find that he has proper vouchers for all payments, 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 account of the Selectmen, and find proper vouchers for all payments made by them. The account is correct and properly kept, and the amount of money there stated as drawn by the Select- men from the Treasurer corresponds with the amount charged to them on his books.
In accordance with a vote of the town at the annual town meeting in 1877, the Auditors find it their duty to report that the Selectmen, Messrs. William A. Hodges, John Chamberlin and William N. Eaton, have exceeded the appropriations in the following accounts : -
Repairs of highways, $715 44 Miscellaneous expenses of highways,
and removal of snow, 349 39
(5)
6
Street lights, Pay of town officers, Support of poor,
$173 60 104 31 1,295 II
The amount expended for New Steam Pump, House, Pipe, &c., is $870.14 more than the appropriation for that purpose. This expense was incurred under the direction of the two Boards of Fire Engineers holding office during the past fiscal year. The members of the first Board were Messrs. Edward A. Spear, John W. Hall, James T. Penniman, Joseph A. Bass, C. H. S. Newcomb, Peter F. Farrell and Amos M. Litchfield. The mem- bers of the present Board are Messrs. John W. Hall, H. M. Federhen, James T. Penniman, Patrick F. Lacy, J. W. Hayden, Lucius W. Lovell and John A. Duggan.
The Auditors, however, deem it just to the Selectmen to state that the amounts expended in all the accounts taken together (New Steam Pump, &c., included), were $478.26 less than the appropriations.
The net amount of the town debt has been increased $13,787- .89 during the past year, making it now $49,187.98. The reason for this apparently unfavorable statement is as follows: the town, at its last annual meeting, having a large balance of cash on hand, voted to raise only sixty thousand dollars by taxation, but at the same time appropriated about seventy-eight thousand dollars. The natural result of that action would be an apparent increase of the town debt by the difference between those amounts.
The actual amount owed by the town is, as per Statement of Town Debt, page 70, $67,476.55, against $71,859.17 last year, showing a reduction of $4,382,62. The amount of the town notes has been decreased $4,500.00 during the year.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The undersigned beg leave to present herewith their annual report for the year ending Feb. 1, 1879.
At the last annual town meeting they were instructed to examine and report upon the condition of the Neponset Bridge, and, if necessary, to recommend in what manner any recon- struction should be done. They have thoroughly inspected the bridge, and would report that, in their opinion, it is in as good condition as it has been in for some years past. They therefore advise that no action be taken in the matter at present.
