AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town-meeting in March, 1886, 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 examined the accounts of the Park Commission- ers, and find that they have proper vouchers for all payments.
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 Road Commission- ers, Messrs. John Q. Adams, John Cashman and Gordon McKen- zie, have exceeded the appropriations for

The Engineers of the Fire Department, Messrs. John W. Hall, John A. Duggan, Franklin Curtis, William B. Barry, Benjamin King, Peter J. Williams and Amos L. Litchfield, have exceeded the appropriations for
Fire Department $233 91
The Managers of the Mount Wollaston Cemetery, Messrs. William A. Hodges, George L. Gill, John Hall, Edward A. Spear, George L. Baxter and Joseph H. Vogel, have exceeded the appropriation for
Mount Wollaston Cemetery $115 16
The last year's financial statement showed a surplus of $15,- 262.41 cash assets above the liabilities. The present statement shows a net debt of $483.72. The difference is chiefly owing to the fact that the town appropriated only $10,000 for the building of a new schoolhouse, giving its notes for $25,000, the balance of the cost.

SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
We herewith present the annual financial report, which is self-explanatory. There have been no unusual expenditures under the appropriations which we control, and it will be seen that there are some small balances which have not been paid out.
The land on Adams Street, which was purchased in 1880 at a cost of $6,000, has been sold during the past year for $6,625; and the money has been paid over to the Sinking Fund, as directed by vote of the town.
At the last annual town-meeting the Selectmen were author- ized to sell the land and building now used for the John W. Hall Hook and Ladder carriage. The Selectmen were of the opinion that it was good policy to sell the property ; but as the Board of Engineers have not been able to provide a suitable place for the apparatus, it was thought best to postpone the sale.
The town also appropriated $375 to make changes and im- provements in the lock-up, but upon a careful examination of the premises it was thought to be impossible to make any de- cided improvement if we made the changes proposed ; therefore nothing has been done.
A larger appropriation than usual was made for the police department. In our judgment it has been expended as advan- tageously and economically as possible under the present sys- tem, and we think the business of the department has been carried on in a manner that is creditable to the force. We would call the attention of the town to the policy of having one or more regular police-officers. We deem it a matter that is worthy of careful consideration.
8
We would also call your attention to the subject of collecting the taxes. With the present rapid growth of the town it would seem proper to make some changes in the present system, and if the usual committee to look after the business of the town should be appointed at the approaching annual meeting, we think that this matter should be carefully examined by them.
WILLIAM A. HODGES, GEORGE H. FIELD, WILLIAM N. EATON,
Selectmen.
