AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : --
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1879, respectfully report that they have ex- amined the accounts of the Treasurer, and find the same correctly kept, with proper vouchers for all payments. They find that the amount of cash on hand by his report is at his credit in bank.
They have examined the accounts of the Treasurer of the Wood- ward 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 state- ment.
They find that the Treasurer of the Sinking Fund has a note, secured by mortgage, for the amount of the Fund.
They have scrutinized and verified the accompanying account of the Selectmen, and find the usual 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 Selectmen from the Treasurer, corre- sponds 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. John Chamberlin, William N. Eaton and Charles. H. Porter, have exceeded the appropriations in the following accounts : -
Support of poor,
Street lights,
$2,752 43 807 49
Pay of town officers,
351 65
Widening Granite Street,
237 19
Miscellaneous expenses,
133 52
Bridges, 29 29
Baxter Place, 24 37
Extension of Main Street, 10 06
The net amount of the town debt has been decreased $9,450.29 during the past year, making it now $39,737.69.
(5)
6
The actual amount owed by the town is, as per Statement of Town Debt, page 80, $68,980.33, against $67,476.55 last year, showing an increase of $1,503.78. The amount of the town notes has been in- creased $1,000.00 during the year.
By vote of the town at the annual town meeting in 1879, the Audi- tors were instructed "to report in detail whether the method of keep- ing the town accounts is satisfactory, and what alteration or new method is desirable and practical." They report that, in their opinion, the business of the town has become so large that some changes should be made in the manner of keeping its books and transacting its business. The present system has been in operation for many years, and is open to several objections. They think that the following recommendations are desirable and practicable.
The Collector of Taxes should keep a cash-book, showing the dates and amounts of all payments by him to the Treasurer, and of all pay- ments of taxes to him, with the names of parties making such pay- ments.
The Selectmen should keep a cash-book, showing particulars of bills paid by them. They should also keep one ledger showing the amounts expended under the different accounts for which money is appropriated by the town, and one in which should be opened accounts with all par- ties who owe the town.
These books should be kept in a permanent form.
All receipts for payments to school-teachers, members of the fire department, persons laboring on highways and in cemeteries, and per- sons receiving State aid, should be made out on printed forms, and the payments should be receipted by the persons to whom the money is due.
The duties of the Selectmen are now so many and varied that it would be for the interest of the town to authorize them to employ a competent person to keep their books.
