AUDITORS' REPORT.
The undersigned, Auditors of Accounts for the Town of Quincy, for the year ending February 1, 1869, hereby report that they have examined the Books and Accounts kept by the Selectmen and Town Treasurer, from which the preceding statements have been compiled, and find them correctly kept, with vouchers for all pay- ments. Also, that the balance due the town by the Treasurer is on deposit, subject to his draft, on presentation of town orders as drawn by the Selectmen.
While there was no direct appropriation for a reduction of the town debt, and while there have been unlooked for and unavoid- able expenses, for which no appropriation was made, and while other officials, as the General School Committee, and, in some dis- tricts, the Prudential Committee, - over whose action the Select men have no direction or control, - have expended such portion of the town appropriation as was by them deemed expedient and necessary, it will be observed that the Board of Selectmen, who are also Overseers of the Poor and Surveyors of Highways, having given to all the various needs of the town such attention and ex- penditure of money, as in their judgment was required, have yet kept within the amount of money appropriated, and also inade a small reduction of the debt.
The official transactions of the Town Treasurer the past year (which are condensed in the foregoing statement) have been much larger in amount than the average, covering the sum of $186,557. 82. This has been caused by his arrangements, looking to loaning money for the town at a reduced rate of interest, and in a more
6 Q
42
permanent form. Having the opportunity in his hands, in common with other town treasurers, to make a permanent loan from the State, by vote of the town, $20,000 were obtained, for which four notes were given, severally for five, ten, fifteen, and twenty years, and, with this amount and other money he has procured on a per- manent loan, he has paid off sundry amounts of indebtedness- some of which were drawing a larger rate of interest, and some of which were called in by parties loaning the same. The loans of the town, somewhat reduced, are believed to be in a more com- pact and permanent form than a year since, at a rate of interest in no case exceeding six per cent., and a part at five per cent.
The Auditors feel that they are doing but an act of justice, in calling the attention of the town to the fact of the prompt collec- tion and payment, by the collector, Geo. H. Locke, Esq., of the amount of the tax committed to him, and with less than the usual abatements. His promptness has kept the treasury in funds, diminished the amount of interest on money borrowed " in antici- pation of the collection of taxes," and entirely removes from the " Town Report " the list of " delinquent tax-payers." This notable efficiency and peculiar fitness for this responsible, and not always agreeable or desirable position, the town will do well, in our judg- ment, to be very sure to secure another year, at a more remunerative rate to him. And in this connection the Auditors suggest that the present custom of putting up the tax for bids, the same to be given to the lowest bidder, should be discontinued, and, in place thereof, the town instruct the Selectmen to appoint and contract with some person, to be designated by vote of the town, at a rate not exceed- ing a given sum.
The death of Mr. A. K. P. Dearborn, and the severe illness of Mr. Nathaniel H. Eaton, occasioned vacancies in the Board of Auditors, and will account for the reduced number of signers of this Report.
GEORGE L. GILL, RICHARD NEWCOMB, Auditors.
JOHN A. BILLINGS,
QUINCY, Feb. 8, 1869.
SELECTMEN'S REPORT.
The seventy-seventh Annual Report of the receipts and expen- ditures of the town of Quincy, and the second of our official duties, is herewith respectfully submitted.
APPROPRIATIONS.
The town, at the annual meeting in March last, made the fol- lowing liberal appropriations, viz. : Schools, teaching, and fuel, $16,000. For all other expenses, $34,000 ; total amount $50,000. In a town so large as this there is continually arising wants and much needed improvements, which are unlooked for at the com- mencement of the year. We have endeavored to keep within the appropriations allowed and still keep pace with the times.
POOR IN ALMSHOUSE.
The same Superintendent and Matron have had the charge of the establishment as last year, and we have occasion for much grati- tude to them for the care bestowed on those under their charge, the number of which has largely increased during the past year. The number of inmates remaining in the house at the commence- ment of the year was 8 ; admitted during the year, 10 ; discharged, 5. The present number is 13. The number of aged and female traveling paupers taken in for a night is 56.
POOR OUT OF ALMSHOUSE.
The expenditures in this department have been largely increased the past year, partly by ths severity of the weather in February
44
and March last, and more so by the operation of the act of the Legislature of 1865, relating to the settlement of soldiers and their families, and an alteration by the Legislature of last year in the laws relating to the settlement of paupers. We have very frequently been pressingly appealed to for assistance by parties who have been overtaken by sickness, accident, or death in their families, when it would be cruel to deny them, and more cruel to send whole families to the State Almshouse. In such cases, when we felt assured that a little assistance would be a great charity to them, and would but slightly increase our expenses for poor out of Almshouse, we have rendered aid. Notwithstanding all the care we could take to avoid imposition we felt that in one or two cases we have been imposed upon. The number of persons supported in lunatic hospitals during the year is seven, one of whom has died.
HIGHWAYS.
We have expended a larger sum on the highways than we in- tended at the beginning of the year, owing to the removing of the rails of the Quincy Railroad, which left the streets through which it passed in a poor and in some instances a dangerous condi- tion ; the building of a new town way at Quincy Point, and the severe snow storms of Feb., March, and April last, which caused an expenditure of $1,664 48, an amount unequalled since 1857.
All of our main thoroughfares are in the best condition, with the exception of Quincy Avenue, which will require important repairs during the coming spring. Granite Street, by order of the County Commissioners, is to be materially widened and straightened from its junction with Hancock Street, to the residence of Lewis Bass, Jr., said alterations to be completed in August next.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The fire department maintains its usual efficiency, and the appa- ratus is all in the best condition. Engines Nos. 3 and 4 have been repainted and thoroughly repaired.
45
CEMETERIES.
The cemeteries have continued under the same management as last year. A decided improvement has been made in the appearance of both. In the old cemetery the trees have been properly trimmed, and cleared of the underbrush which had been growing for years, serving the purpose of a bar-room screen, and a receptacle for empty bottles. The paths have been recut and gravelled. The arrest of and imposing of a fine on one person found intoxicated on the grounds has served as a warning to others, and the past season this sacred place has been the weekly resort of many of our mothers and sisters, who, from fear of meeting with some offensive object, have previously been deterred from visiting it as much as they desired. In Mount Wollaston Cemetery the im- provements are of a more marked character. All the ornamental plats have been made up and filled with shrubs and plants of a hardy nature, one hundred and sixty young and thrifty trees have been set out, and many of the avenues and paths have been graded. In accordance with a vote of the town, a receiving tomb has been constructed which is an ornament to the cemetery, and is of suffi- cient capacity to supply the wants of the town for many years to come. This cemetery is more and more an object of care and affection to our people and must so continue ; already seven hun- dred and eight burials have been made along its walks, and the number is yearly increasing.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The number of street lamps lighted at the expense of the town is 34, at an expense of $1,026 27.
No new guide-boards have as yet been erected, but a sufficient number is now in process of completion to replace those which have become so weather-beaten as to be illegible.
The preceding account shows the statement of the tax of 1867 as it existed on the 1st instant. Since the accounts were audited, Mr. Bass has settled the whole account with the treasurer. Those of our readers who have for so many years taken pleasure in reading the long list of delinquent tax-payers will be sadly disappointed by the present report. But what is their loss is
46
the town's gain. The whole amount of the tax of 1868 has been paid, and with an unusually small amount of abatements. While referring to this matter, we cannot refrain from expressing our conviction, that it is policy for the town to abolish the " old fogy' system of putting up the collection of taxes at auction, and we would recommend that our successors be authorized to select and contract with some responsble person to collect the tax at a reasonable price.
