AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1881, respectfully report that they have examined the accounts of the Treasurer, and find the same correctly kept, with proper vouchers for all payments. We 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 present condition of the Fund.
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 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, William N. Eaton, and Alfred Sampson, have exceeded the appropriations in the following accounts : -
Support of poor, $2,850 II

The net amount of the town debt has been decreased $176.92 during the past year, making it now $26,293.75.
The actual amount owed by the town is, as per statement of Town debt, page 83, $61,370.1I against $61,793.33 last year, showing a decrease of $423.22. The amount of town notes has been decreased $ 300.00 during the year.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The Selectmen, Overseers of the Poor, and Surveyors of High- ways, respectfully submit their annual report. In their judgment, the following matters call for the attention of the town.
The large amount expended for the support of poor has been caused in part by certain expenses considered necessary on the Alms -. house grounds, such as grading, building road, &c., and cistern, and new household effects called for by the removal to the new Alms- house. This building is complete, and in the opinion of the Over- seers will furnish accommodations and meet all requirements for some time to come. They would recommend an appropriation of $1,000 for removing the old buildings, finishing the grading and purchasing additional outfit.
It will be noticed that the appropriation for street lights has been exceeded. This is an account which is hardly within the control of the Selectmen. By vote of the town passed some years ago, any per- son erecting a lamp-post and maintaining a street light, receives pay therefor. They deem it proper to recommend this matter to the con- sideration of the town.
The Surveyors recommend some change in the system of making repairs of highways. Suitable gravel for road use is now very scarce, and it seems time to consider whether it would not be advisable soon to build some lasting form of roadway. In order that the citizens of the town may see for themselves what plan would be the best, the Surveyors recommend that an appropriation be made at the next town meeting, to macadamize about one-quarter of a mile on one of our most travelled streets.
The increasing expense for removal of snow would seem to call for some definite action by the town. The Surveyors should have an expression of opinion by the town in regard to the amount of work to be done in removing snow from sidewalks.
In view of the large and increasing number of calls upon the Se- lectmen in their capacity as a Board of Health, they consider it im_ portant for the town to elect a separate Board to attend to that đe- partment of its business.
