AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1882, 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 securi- ties in his possession agree with the list given in his statement.
They find that the present condition of the Sinking Fund corre- sponds with the statement of its Treasurer.
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 Selectmen from the Treasurer agrees with the amount charged to them on his books.
In accordance with the standing vote of the town, the Auditors find it their duty to report that the Selectmen, Messrs. George H. Field, Elias A. Perkins and Christopher A. Spear, have exceeded the appro- priations in the following accounts : -

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The Selectmen, Assessors and Overseers of the Poor have attended to their duties during the past year, and report as follows : -
The Selectmen have charge of but few appropriations, and are not able to control the expenditures of the town to any great extent. The policy of the town is in a great measure guided by the committee chosen at the annual March meeting, and the appropriations are in charge of the different officers.
TAXATION.
The high rate of taxation the past year was due partly to the larger amount of money raised, and partly to the loss, for purposes of taxa- tion, of about five hundred thousand dollars in the valuation of per- sonal property, by what is called the new mortgage law. The appro- priation for discounts and abatements has been overrun ; the discounts, as will be seen by the report, were very large.
POOR ACCOUNT.
With our best efforts, we have not been able to keep within the appropriation. At the beginning of the year there was quite a large amount of outstanding bills, and it was the first of May before we were able to make any considerable reduction in the expenses. Since that time they have been largely cut down, and we trust without hardship or injustice to any one. The policy of helping the outside poor from stores at the Almshouse we believe to be a good one, and a saving to the town, and would recommend its continuance.
The expenses at the almshouse have been quite large the past year. But we have no credit for work done on the highways as in former years ; but the inmates who are able have been kept constantly at work on the farm, and in grading and filling, setting out trees, and improving the place generally. But we have had quite a number of extra expenses,- cementing part of the cellar at house, building brick partition, etc., fitting up store, shelving, etc. The heating apparatus was found to be in bad condition, burning a large amount of coal with little effect ; it has been overhauled by the company that put it in, at
( 7)
8
their own expense, and is now in good condition ; it was at the same time extended, several new radiators put in, and three coal stoves in the upper part of the building got rid of. The expense was about two hundred dollars, but that amount will be saved in coal in a very short time.
The old sheds by the roadside will probably be torn down in the spring. We should recommend that a carriage-house be built, con- nected with the barn ; there is also the old building, which used to be called the shop, which has been moved to the rear of the new house ; we recommend that it be repaired, and put in a condition to compare with the other buildings. It could be used in many ways, and in case of small-pox or other contagious disease, it could be moved still fur- ther to the rear and used as a hospital.
During the year there have been twenty-three children removed from the almshouse ; ten of them were taken to the Children's Mission, in Boston ; eight of them, through the Superintendent, Mr. William Crosby, have been placed in comfortable homes; two of them are still there, and the remainder were taken in charge by the Pastor of the Catholic Church of this town, and put in institutions of that faith, or homes found for them in families.
