AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY :
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1884, 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 list given in his statement.
They find that the present condition of the Sinking Fund corresponds 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 Audit- ors find it their duty to report that the Selectmen, Messrs. George H. Field, Elias A. Perkins, and Christopher A. Spear, have exceeded the appropriation for

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY :
The Selectmen, Assessors, Overseers of the Poor, and Sur- veyors of Highways have attended to their duties during the past year, and report as follows.
In the first place, we congratulate the town on its being prac- tically out of debt ; by this we do not mean to say that the town does not owe anything, for the report will show that there are several notes outstanding against the town, but the cash on hand, the uncollected taxes, the several amounts due, the Sink- ing Fund, and the Newcomb lot overbalance these, and we think we are stating the case fairly when we say the town is practically out of debt, and this notwithstanding the fact that at a special town meeting $1,000 extra was appropriated for school supplies, and $500 for completing and furnishing the school building bought by the town ; we also had to pay $1,506 more for the school-house lot on Granite Street, bought of James Nightingale, than was appropriated this year.
The twenty thousand dollar note due the State has also been paid, ten thousand dollars from the Sinking Fund and ten thou- sand dollars from funds of the town. The Newcomb lot still remains as part of the assets of the town ; we have made several attempts the past year to dispose of it, and failed ; we now see no immediate prospect of getting rid of it at a fair price, unless it is divided into house lots and sold in that way, which we would recommend the town to do.
8
ASSESSORS -TAXATION.
There were eighty-four new houses built last year, and an in- crease in the valuation of the town of $361,549 ; but the expenses seem to increase with the valuation, and unless we can contrive some way to keep them down, do not see how a lower rate of taxation can be expected.
ROADS.
The present Board of Surveyors of Highways entered upon their duties about the first of April of last year ; they found some work in progress, with Mr. Rogers as Superintendent of Streets. Understanding it to be the wish of the citizens that the work should be carried on under the direction of the Surveyors, he was allowed to go. As the main streets were to be dug up by the Water and Gas companies, we deemed it wise to expend as little as possible upon them, and have acted accordingly ; the appropriation has been divided among the different sections of the town, but with the large number of miles of streets, some of them distant, and seldom or never seen by the greater part of the people, no great showing can be made, but we believe the outlying streets to be generally in a fair condition ; the main streets we think, in common with the rest of the people, should be improved. We do not pretend to be experts in the art of road building, and are hardly prepared to recommend their thorough rebuilding at the extreme cost advocated by some, but we think that they might be put in good condition with a coat- ing of broken and crushed stone rolled down to a smooth, hard surface, at a cost of five to seven thousand dollars per mile, and we would recommend that ten thousand dollars be appropriated for repairs of highways, and ten thousand dollars for rebuilding a specified portion.
Quarry Street has been extended to Common Street, and teams can now easily pass out that way. This work was done by contract and within the appropriation; it is built almost wholly of stone, and proves of great benefit to that neighbor-
9
hood. We have asked this year for fifteen hundred dollars for further extension.
The extensions of Water Street and Grand View Avenue are the only other roads of importance built this year. Water Street was finished, but Grand View Avenue, for want of sufficient appropriation, was left in only a passable condition. We have asked for five hundred dollars to complete it.
POOR.
The Poor account is less than for quite a number of years, and for once the appropriation has not been overrun ; the expense has been kept down by a close examination of all the cases, and by the assistance of the charitable associations of the town.
The almshouse grounds have been improved the past year by the filling of part of the meadow and ditch in the front, by setting out trees, and by enclosing the grounds with a new fence ; the appropriation for this purpose, of five hundred dollars, has been slightly exceeded. The place now presents quite a creditable appearance, and can be still further improved from time to time, without extra appropriations, by the labor of the inmates.
