AUDITORS' REPORT.
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts, appointed at the annual town meeting in March, 1888, 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 paynents, that the balance of cash on hand is deposited in banl, and the securities in his possession agree with the list giver 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 anount of money there stated as drawn by the Selectmen from the Treasurer agrees with the amount charged to them on his books.
Owing to the change to a city form of government, the accounts have been made up to Jan. 7, 1889 (instead of to Feb. 1, as wual), covering a period of about three weeks less than one yer.
In accordance with the standing vote of the town, the Audit- ors find it their duty to report that the Selectmen, Messrs.

QUINCY, Jan. 7, 1889.
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
-
TO THE INHABITANTS OF QUINCY : -
The Selectmen, Assessors, and Overseers of the Poor hereby submit their financial report for the past year.
On account of the change from a town to a city government, the report is made up to the 7th of January, instead of Feb. 1, the usual time, which will show some of the amounts paid in the different accounts to be less than they would be if made at the usual time.
The appropriation for miscellaneous expenses, as will be seen, is largely overrun, caused by the Selectmen being obliged to settle suits brought against the town for damages on the highways, and where there was no appropriation made to meet them ; and in addition to these expenses there have been many bills to pay, growing out of the change from a town to a city government, and the expenses of the municipal election.
ASSESSORS.
The list of unpaid taxes is probably somewhat larger than usual, on account of the time of settling with the collector be- ing earlier than usual, and many were not aware of the change. By a vote of the town a percentage has been allowed on all poll taxes collected before the 1st of January. Your Board of Assess- ors think it should be allowed on all poll taxes collected : if this is done, we think the list of poll taxes to be abated would be much less than it has been in past years.
10
OVERSEERS OF THE POOR.
The appropriation for the support of the poor has not all been paid out, but as many of the bills from other cities and towns were not sent in time to go into this year's accounts, these bills will probably amount to enough to cover the entire appropria- tion. It must be remembered that with the growth of the city the number of persons to be assisted will increase, and it is the opinion of your Board of Overseers that all well-disposed citizens desire to see the poor properly cared for.
