AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1880, respectfully report that they have examined 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 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 find that the Treasurer of the Sinking Fund has a note, secured by mortgage, for the amount of the principal of the Fund, and that his report shows the condition of the Fund.
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. The Selectmen have com- plied with the provisions of the vote of the town in relation to the keeping of books and accounts.
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, William N. Eaton and Charles H. Porter, have exceeded the appro- priations in the following accounts :
6
Support of poor, $684 72
State Aid to indigent soldiers, 52 00
Discount and abatement of taxes, 56 83
Miscellaneous expenses, 568 98
Pay of town officers, 473 25
The School Committee, Messrs. John Q. Adams, George L. Miller, Charles F. Adams, Jr., Edwin W. Marsh, Jason G. Witham, Alfred Sampson and William G. Sheen, have exceeded the appropriations for the support of schools by the sum of $159.28.
The Engineers of the Fire Department, Messrs. John W. Hall, John A. Duggan, Patrick F. Lacy, JJ. Warren Hayden, Thomas H. McDonnell, William C. Seelye, Joseph M. Glo- ver, James T. Penniman and Lucius W. Lovell, have ex- ceeded the appropriation for that department by the sum of $36.27.
The net amount of the town debt has been decreased $13,267.02 during the past year, making it now $26,470.67.
The actual amount owed by the town is, as per statement of Town debt, page 90, 861,793.33, against $68,980.33 last year, showing a decrease of $7187.00. The amount of the town notes has been decreased $7000.00 during the year.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN OF QUINCY : -
The Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor, Surveyors of Highways, and Assessors, respectfully submit their annual report for the fiscal year ending February 1, 1881.
They would first call your attention to the unfinished re- pairs of the Bit. At the annual town meeting held in March last, the sum of five hundred dollars was appropriated to widen the road and build a rip-rap wall at this point. The work upon the same was begun in November, 1880, and after a few days' labor it had to be abandoned, the cold win- ter weather coming upon us very suddenly, and much earlier than usual. About one hundred feet was practically finished and the posts and rails are bought ready to be put up over the entire length. That part of the work done seems to be just what is wanted, and we recommend, as will be seen in another part of this report, that the sum of $300 be appro- priated to complete the same, In general, the highways are in good condition.
The necessity of a new almshouse demands the immediate attention of the townspeople. There are now in the present building 29 inmates. Of this number 11 are children from three months to twelve years old. The absolute necessity of a ward or separate place for these children, where they can be separated from the older people, must be apparent to every one. We are still of the opinion that, with suitable quarters, the sum annually expended for the poor out of the almshouse could be greatly reduced. In this item alone, as will be seen by the report, there has been expended over
$1000 less than last year. The excess of expenditure in the poor account is to be found in the increased cost of the almshouse establishment, and this increase is due, in a great measure, to the largely augmented number of inmates now in the building, being nearly double the number of last year.
The assessed value of real and personal property in the town is larger than last year. The rate of taxation for the year shows a high rate, as never before has the town, in but one instance, voted so much money as at its last annual meeting.
The discounts were unusually heavy for the year, being $3830-32% ; showing that the Tax Collector had paid into the Treasurer over $96,000 by September 15.
The system of keeping the accounts, and improved sys- tem of vouchers, have been tried for one year, and we recommend that they be maintained.
The business of the town is increasing year by year as the town grows in size, and more time is demanded of the offi- cers in their various positions.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
WILLIAM A. HODGES. WILLIAM N. EATON, CHARLES H. PORTER.
