Total amount of Abatements for 1863, $ 1,285.43.
The undersigned, Auditors for the year ending February 1, 1863, most respectfully submit the foregoing pages as their Report of Receipts and Expenditures for the year. We have examined the accounts of the Board of Selectmen, and find them correct ; also the accounts of the Town Treasurer, which we find correctly kept and properly vouched. It will be seen by the Reports that the expenditures for teaching is in excess of the expenditures of 1861, by $ 910.18, and exceeds the ap- propriations by $ 176.62. The incidental expenses of schooling is, with the ordinary expenses of last year, about the same.
The Almshouse Department, under the control of the Overseers of the Poor, but managed by its present able Superintendent, Mr. Charles Spear, is in good condition, and we feel constrained to say of the Ma- tron, Mrs. Spear, that she has our commendation for her careful and economizing management of her household duties, which are at times peculiarly trying and vexatious.
The income from the Almshouse Department, for the first time in many years, exceeds the expenditures. For the assistance rendered by the Overseers of the Poor to persons out of the Almshouse, which was unavoidable, a sum has been expended the past year in excess of former years ; but by assistance to these persons through the trying months of winter, we believe it to be more judicious and economical than to have had them sent to the Almshouse.
The expenditures for repairs on the highways was only $ 653.98 in 1862, to $ 1,471.37 in 1861. The expense of the Fire Department has not materially diminished, it being $ 1,806.27 in 1862, to $ 1,841.49
44
in 1861. Had it not been for the extraordinary expenses of pay of damages to parties who have, by the " Pluero Pneumonia " Commission- ers' orders, had their cattle slaughtered, with expenses of recruiting and bounties paid to the volunteers, the public debt would undoubtedly have been reduced several thousand dollars; but by these very neces- sary outlays and expenditures, the debt has increased from $ 24,346.14 in 1862, to $ 40,404.11 in 1863. But still we think no citizen will bewail the expenditures for military purposes, if by these sacrifices, and while our friends are perilling life and limb, our national honor and existence may be preserved and prolonged.
The duties of the Selectmen the past year have been many and arduous, and what expenditures have been made were apparently neces- sarily incurred.
As Auditors, we should feel we were remiss in our duty did we not call the attention of the people of Quincy to the actual necessity of a " new Almshouse. The present building is far from being what is neces- sary or wanted to accommodate the many deserving poor who seek a shelter under its charitable roof. It was built at the commencement of the present century, when the occupants were fewer and fuel more abun- dant than at the present day; but time and decay have left their mark on the old house, and for our winters and in our time, when old age, youth, and little children seek its shelter, the cold winds that drive the snow into it, make it unfit for the uses required or intended ; and we would recommend that the Town take early action on this subject, and provide a new Almshouse, which economy and necessity alike require.
Thanking the Selectmen, Town Clerk, and Treasurer for their assist- ance, we would subject for the consideration of the Town the foregoing Report.
