TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1887, respectfully report that they have examined the accounts of the Treasurer, and find the same correctly kept, with proper vouchers for all pay- ments. 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 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 Auditors find it their duty to report that the Selectmen, Messrs. William A. Hodges, William N. Eaton, and Walter H. Ripley, have exceeded the appropriation for
Abatement of taxes $315 99

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
In submitting to you our annual financial report, the Se- lectmen do not think it proper to make an effort to influence you in regard to your methods of transacting the business of the town, as in all town governments the people have an oppor- tunity to say what they want, and what the masses of the people want, as a rule, is proper for them to have. The past year has been an uneventful one, and the business of the town has been transacted with very little friction. The appropria- tions for the different departments controlled by the Selectmen have been ample to meet the necessary demands. The Select- men would heartily indorse the recommendation of the Board of Engineers, that a more suitable place be provided for the Hook and Ladder Truck, in order to make it more useful to the town. It will be observed that the appropriation for the abatement of taxes was exceeded somewhat, not, however, on account of the large amount of abatements made for taxes of the past year, but a large amount of money was used to abate poll-taxes of long standing.
Your Board of Assessors would recommend the citizens at the next annual town meeting to pass a vote instructing the collector of taxes to settle all taxes within two years from the time that they are placed in his hands for collection. The changes made at the last annual town meeting in regard to collecting taxes have, in the judgment of the Assessors, worked favorably. The system of paying a percentage for collecting poll-taxes has been an improvement, and we think it should be continued.
WILLIAM A. HODGES, WILLIAM N. EATON, WALTER H. RIPLEY, Selectmen and Assessors.
