AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY :
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1885, 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 financial condition of the town has been improved about $8,000 the past year. Some few of the appropriations have been exceeded, and in some the money has not all been spent. The extra appropriations made at the special meetings will have to be provided for, also a note of three thousand three hundred and thirty-three dollars, which falls due on October I. This the Sinking Fund, with its usual appropriation of three thousand dol- lars, will probably take up.
The important matter of sewerage and the report of last year's committee, which were referred to the Selectmen, have been carefully considered, and their report, together with that of Engineer Eliot C. Clarke, an expert on sewerage, will be found in this report.
A portion of the citizens of Atlantic have petitioned the Legislature to be set off to Boston. In the absence of any in- structions, the Selectmen have thought best to oppose the peti- tion, believing that to be the general wish, and also believ- ing that it would be against the interests of the town to have that part so set off. The Neponset River now furnishes a natural boundary much better than any artificial one, and there really seems no good reason why a change should be made.
The boundary line between Quincy and Milton, as authorized by the last Legislature, has been changed, and the transfer of property made, as we think, to the interests of both towns.
A drinking-fountain, the gift of Henry H. Faxon, has been erected at the junction of Hancock and School Streets, and Mr. F. J. Fuller has given a stone trough for West Quincy. The latter would have been set up the past year, but it was thought that Belknap Square was the proper place for it, and as the water pipe did not extend so far, it was thought best to wait another year.
8
A number of citizens of West Quincy petitioned the Select- men to extend Bates Avenue to Cemetery Street. While recog- nizing that it would be a great convenience to the people in that vicinity, we were deterred from laying it out by the difficulty en- countered in crossing the railroad track, and the large expense that would be incurred in land damages and the building of the road. The petitioners have appealed to the County Commis- sioners, and a hearing and examination had by that body. If the decision is in favor of the road, and it has to be built, quite a large sum will be required.
HIGHWAYS.
At the last annual March meeting, a sum considerably larger than usual was voted for the highways, and it seemed to be the general opinion that the town should commence a more syste- matic and durable plan of road-making. Taking this view, Washington Street, from the Point Bridge to Bent's Hill, was se- lected (it being the road most used and in the worst condition) as being a favorable piece for the trial. This portion, about a mile and a half in length, has been rebuilt with stone, at depths varying from a foot to two and a half feet, the stone covered with gravel and well rolled. This has been done at an expense of about eight thousand dollars, including wall at the Chas. Loring estate, and large culvert near the same place. How long a road of this kind will stand the wear and tear of the heavy teaming which passes over it, and the action of the frost, is a matter of speculation; but as the whole subject of road making and repairing was referred to a committee to report this year, we will not attempt to give our views on the matter. Notwithstanding the appropriation for the highways was larger than usual, it will be seen by the report that it has been considerably exceeded, for which the following excuses are offered. In the first place, at the beginning of the year, when the frost came out of the ground, a part of the roads were in a very bad condition and in some places impassable, requiring quite a large immediate outlay. Secondly, after we had got to work on the Point Road, we found that the wall at the Chas. Loring estate had to be rebuilt, and the
9
culvert enlarged at the same place. These were expenses we had not calculated upon, and in our anxiety to finish the road, we perhaps went beyond the bounds of prudence. In addition, after we thought the year's work pretty nearly closed, the heavy winter rains and high tides caused some bad wash-outs. The wall and street at Hayward's Creek, on the Braintree line, also caved in, this alone putting us to an expense of about three hundred dollars. Before this work was commenced, we conferred with the Selectmen of Braintree, and it was thought best to widen the roadway at this point ten feet, it being only eighteen feet wide. This has been done partially; but to complete the work in a satisfactory manner, and to cut down the hill and fill the hollow, we estimate will cost about five hundred dollars more.
The appropriations for Woodbine Street and the Quarry Street extension have also been exceeded,-the first a small amount; on Quarry Street it was found difficult to stop at a shorter dis- tance without leaving the road in a dangerous condition, but the street can now easily be finished within the original estimate.
The matter of securing wider rims to the wheels of our heavy stone teams, which the Surveyors of Highways were instructed to investigate and report upon the best practicable plan of re- lieving the wear and tear of very heavy teaming over our roads, has been considered; and while all agree that if it could be brought about, a great saving might be made, we have been unable to find any practicable plan by which this can be accomplished. The subject has been brought to the attention of the Legis- lature time after time, only to be thrown out without action. It hardly seems practicable, and perhaps not lawful, for the town to appropriate any money to test such a scheme, and if we knew of any way to make the teamers think it more economical or pref- erable, we would certainly suggest it. It seems to us that the only way is to build our roads of the best material, hard and smooth, and perhaps in this way wider tires might be gradually adopted.
