Increase of Town debt,
$10,970 97
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts for the Town of Quincy for the year ending Feb. 1, 1867, have attended to the duty as- signed them, and respectfully submit the foregoing as the result of their labors.
The Town debt has been increased during the past year $10,- 970.97, the expenses having been somewhat larger than was anticipated. At the April term of Court the Grand Jury indicted Hancock Street, causing it to be widened. Three new reservoirs have been built. A new road has been completed at the west district, and the " New Payne's Hill Road " has been nearly com- pleted, all requiring large expenditures. About the close of the year an old-fashioned snow storm blocked up our streets, requiring an expenditure of upwards of $1500 to break them out, an amount which has not been equaled since 1857.
The usual inspection of the Almshouse establishment has been made, and the personal property appraised. The management of the

establishment has passed into the hands of Mr. A. B. Morse and wife, the former superintendent, Mr. Charles Spear, having been called to take charge of the Dorchester Town Farm, where, we have no doubt, his superior management of such institutions will be appreciated. The citizens of the town have occasion for much gratitude to the new superintendent and matron for the care be- stowed on those under their charge ; also for their management of matters connected with the farm.
We have examined the books of the Selectmen and Town Treas- urer, and find them correct, and with proper vouchers for all payments.
Before closing, we would call the attention of the Town to an act of unparalleled meanness in Town affairs, which we think should be set right at the annual meeting. During the past year, as we are informed, the School Committee saw fit, in their official capacity, to allow the public schools two days' vacation. In the South district, by order of the Prudential Committee, the pay of the teachers was stopped, while in all of the others it was paid. We do not believe that the Town wishes or expects any of its officers to perform so paltry an act as to stop the pay of the teachers of one district, and pay the teachers of five other dis- tricts, for the ostensible purpose of saving the Town about twenty dollars ; therefore we have caused an article to be placed in the warrant for the annual meeting, in order that the Town may have an opportunity to take what action they see fit in the matter.
We are under many obligations to the Selectmen, Town Treas_ urer, Town Clerk, and especially to the Superintendent of the Almshouse and wife, for valuable assistance rendered.
