The undersigned Auditors of Accounts for the town of Quincy, for the year ending Feb. 1, 1866, have attended to the duty assigned them, and respectfully submit the foregoing as the result of their labors.
The expenses of the town have been somewhat larger than was anti- cipated, owing to the following causes, viz: 1. The Bluehill Turnpike was indicted by the Grand Jury in the early part of the year, causing an expenditure of $ 282.50; 2. The New Payne's Hill Road was laid out by the County Commissioners at an expense to the town of nearly seven thousand dollars, on which account $ 1,314.75 has been paid ; 3. The Hingham and Quincy bridges, owing to accident, have been almost .

Trustees of Hingham.

enti ely rebuilt at an expense to this town of $ 786.25, which with the largely increased bills under the head of school incidentals has increased the town debt $ 2,720.13.
An inspection of the Almshouse and appraisal of the property con- nected with the establishment, has been made. The establishment still continues under the excellent management of Mr. Charles Spear and wife. The buildings are unworthy of the labor and care bestowed upon them, and should be replaced by new ones.
The provisions of chapter 230 of the acts passed by the last Legis- lature, which gives certain soldiers a settlement in the town from which they enlisted, has caused the Overseers of the Poor to aid an unusual number of families, out of the Almshouse.
Before closing, we would recommend the General School Committee to abolish the system adopted the present year of paying the teachers monthly, as the benefits which accrue to the few who avail themselves of the change, is more than counterbalanced by the extra and perplex- ing duties imposed upon the Selectmen, Town Treasurer, and Auditors.
We have carefully examined the books of the Selectmen and Trea- surer, and found them correct, and with proper vouchers for all pay- ments.
We are under many obligations to the Selectmen, Town Treasurer, and Town Clerk, for valuable assistance rendered. ·
