We may feel assured, however, that the commit- tee, composed as it is of citizens devoted to the in- terests and welfare of our city, will not urge its con- struction unless it is a public necessity.
POOR DEPARTMENT.
This department is controlled by a board of over- seers who have full power to expend the appropria- tion to be provided for by the city council. As their report has been submitted and approved by you, it will be unnecessary for me to repeat.
I feel compelled to say, however, that the board is composed of members who have demonstrated their abilities to successfully manage its affairs, and

to insure for our city a department that is second to none.
RECOMMENDATION.
In view of the increasing burdens which are be- ing imposed by the state upon the city clerk, in addition to his arduous duties in connection with municipal affairs, I would recommend for your con- sideration the expediency of electing an assistant city clerk, who will be qualified to assume the duties of this office in case of a prolonged absence of the present official, by reason of sickness or other causes.
CONCLUSION.
In conclusion permit me to say, that as there is always more or less concern in regard to the policy of the incoming administration in dealing with the illicit liquor traffic, and enforcement of other laws affecting the morality of our city, I feel compelled to define mine.
While I am opposed to the present monopolistic method of legalizing the sale of liquor, yet as the sworn servant of the people, I shall do all in my power to prevent and suppress the illegal sale there- of.
The enforcement of all other laws which will in any way tend to elevate the morals of our city and

place her in the van of all the cities of our common- wealth, shall receive my earnest support.
And now, gentlemen of the city council, as we are about to enter upon our duties, let us do so with a firm resolution to work in harmony, keeping in view the welfare of our city and the success of our administration.

CITY OF NEWBURYPORT, 1 AUDITOR'S OFFICE, Dec. 19, 1896.
To the Committee on Finance:
GENTLEMEN: - In conformity with the require- ments of the city ordinances, I herewith submit the forty-sixth annual report of the receipts and expen- ditures of the city of Newburyport, for the financial year ending December 19, 1896, (including the sum of $10,119.12 expended in the year 1895 and remain- ing unpaid Dec. 21, 1895), together with a state- ment of the city debt and debts due the city, and a schedule of the real and personal property belonging to the city. 'I have audited the books of the city treasurer, and find them correct and properly vouched. I examined all securities in possession of the treasurer belonging to the city, including the sinking fund investments, and found the same prop- erly accounted for. They are deposited for safe keeping in the vaults of the Merchants National bank.

ANNUAL REPORTS.
I verified the accounts of the collector of taxes, including the amount committed to him by the assessors, the abatements made by them during the year, and the amount collected.
I examined the cash account as kept by the city clerk, of all moneys received by him as fees or other- wise, (except dog licenses), during the year ending Dec. 19, 1896, and found the same correct. The total amount collected has been paid to the city treasurer, and a receipt taken therefor.
I examined the books of the clerk of the overseers of the poor, and found that the bills as approved by the overseers of the poor correspond with the pay- ments made by the city treasurer.
I examined all bills passed by the committee on accounts, as presented weekly and monthly, and found the same correctly cast, properly approved and accurately placed upon the books.
The books of the treasurer show an increase of the city debt during the year of 1896 of $6,731.12. The unexpended balance is $451.05.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM H. WELCH,
City Auditor.
