HIGHWAYS.
We have expended a much larger sum than was expended the previous year, for repairs on highways ; but no more, in our opin- ion, than economy and the best interests of the town required. Although so much work has been done on the highways, and that work scattered through every district, the calls of our citizens have been many for still further repairs.
By order of the County Commissioners, Hancock Street has been materially widened from Cottage Avenue to Canal Street, and $557.25 has been paid upon the contract for building the new Payne's-hill road, for neither of which were appropriations made.
Early in the season it was discovered that the bridge crossing the railroad on Beale Street was dangerous, and a further examin- ation proved it worthless, causing an expenditure of $335.85 to rebuild. Sea Street has been straightened at its junction with Coddington Street, by taking of land of Mr. Seth Spear, and we would recommend that the Town authorize our successors to con- vey a small strip of land west of the pound to Mr. Spear in exchange for that taken. The County Commissioners having decided to straighten a portion of Granite Street, an appropriation will be required at the annual meeting. The severe snow-storms in Feb- ruary and March of last year caused an expenditure of $516.85,
44
and the still more severe ones of the present winter have thus far cost $954.00, making a total expense for removing snow of $1,570.84, for which no appropriation was made.
CEMETERIES.
The Town, at its annual meeting, instructed the Selectmen to appoint a Superintendent of Mt. Wollaston Cemetery. In accord- ance with said instructions, one of our board, Mr. E. W. Under- wood, reluctantly accepted the position, and also the charge of the old cemetery, which had been sadly neglected for a few years.
The many of our citizens who visited the cemeteries during the past summer and autumn, can judge for themselves how faithfully he performed his duties.
The Town has made appropriations for Mt. Wollaston Cemetery at several times, from April 3, 1854, to March 5, 1861, amounting to $5,500. The Treasurer has received for the sale of lots from 1856 to date, $2,106.25, making a total of $7,606.25, which amount, by votes of the Town, is to be expended in ornamenting said cemetery. The total amount of expenditures to date have been $6,664.63, leaving a balance unexpended of $941.62. We would recommend that a receiving tomb be built at Mt. Wollaston Cemetery during the coming summer, and would suggest the econ- omy of using the material composing the tomb now in use, in its construction.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The Fire Department maintains its usual efficiency, and the apparatus is in good condition. Engines Nos. 1 and 2 have been painted during the year. In the early part of the year, incendia- rism was rife ; but the offer of large rewards, and the vigilance of our police authorities and citizens generally, although not success- ful in ferreting out the perpetrators, put a check to the operations of the incendiary.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Neponset and Hingham bridges have become an annual ex- pense to the town. The income on the amount paid the town ($5,000), not being sufficient to defray the expense of keeping the Neponset bridge in repair, already the bridge is in debt to the- Town, $1,139.43.
A number of the south-shore towns having refused to pay the
4.5
portion assigned them for the support of Hingham and Quincy bridges, the towns of Weymouth, Hingham, and Quincy are compelled to bear the whole expense for the present. Suits have been commenced against the delinquent towns for their share of the expense ; the cases will probably be settled soon, when a por- tion of the amount expended will be refunded.
Agreeable to votes of the town, street lamps have been lighted where established, at an expense of $668.13. The amount of $1,600 has been paid the contractors for a soldiers' monument by order of the committee.
The Treasurer has been obliged by law to pay $794.50 on ac- count of the Militia pay-rolls of the Mcclellan Guards, which sum is to be refunded by the State.
The amount of uncollected taxes for 1867 is but $1,327.20, one thousand dollars having been paid by the collector, since the Treasurer's accounts were settled.
TOWN LINES.
During the past year we have perambulated the boundary lines between this town and Braintree, Randolph, and Milton, examined the bounds and renewed the marks. Stone Monuments have been erected in all places (where they did not exist), wherever a high- way crosses said lines, in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 84 of the Acts of 1861.
GUIDE-BOARDS.
No new guide-boards have been erected during the year, but those heretofore erected remain in the same condition as last year.

REPORT.
IN compliance with the laws of this State, we, the School Com- mittee of the Town of Quincy, submit the following Report of the condition of our Public Schools for the school year 1867-8, with such comments and suggestions as we deem necessary, that the voters of the town may meet the questions of their Common Schools with the promptness and intelligence that a matter of such vital importance requires.
SCHOOL-HOUSES.
We have made some change in the High School House during the year to meet the requirements of the additional department, of which we shall have occasion to speak more at length in another portion of this Report.
We found that great inconvenience would result from a remov- al of the Adams Primary No. 1, which had occupied a portion of this building, as no suitable room could be readily procured there- for; therefore, choosing the lesser evil, we have caused the former recitation room on the lower floor, together with an ante- room heretofore used by said Primary, to be thrown together, and a partition to be built through the centre, making two recitation rooms of nearly equal size, so arranged as to give ample light to both rooms, and free and easy access to each without passing through the other.
These have been neatly finished, with ample blackboard accommo- dations, and suitably furnished, and though not as large as we might have desired considering the present and prospective size of this school, yet they are made to answer our present wants ; though the
4
whole building is none too large for the use of the High School alone.
We would here make the suggestion that accommodations for Ad- ams Primary No. 1 be furnished elsewhere at the earliest opportu- nity, as two schools of such unequal ages and grade cannot be continued in the same building without serious inconvenience and detriment to the High School.
We have also found it necessary to provide additional seats and desks in the main school-room and to substitute new and improved recitation seats in lieu of the cumbersome and inconvenient set- tees heretofore used.
We have also attended to the necessary slating of the roof, and have furnished better facilities for heating the rooms.
In all our interior alterations we have endeavored to combine comfort, taste, and convenience.
