How shall it be done? Shall all who need continual aid, yet being able to help themselves in part, be sent to the almshouse, thereby. permanently pauperizing them? Is it not a doubtful measure of economy, as well as humanity ?
In closing our report, we re-state what closed our report of last year, "that when the needy are unable to supply any part of their wants, with no prospect of ever bettering their condition, it would seem proper that they should be cared for in the almshouse, where there is much room and every convenience necessary to make them comfortable."

AUDITORS' REPORT.
FEBRUARY 12, 1879.
THE Auditors have, as usual, in compliance with the request of the Overseers of the Poor, appraised the personal property of the Town Farm, and estimated the value thereof as appears in the inventory.
They have examined the treasurer's accounts with unusual care, making a special review last May of every item of debt and credit since the present treasurer took the books from his immediate pred- ecessor in 1874 up to that time. This was rendered necessary, principally for the reason that sufficient evidence had not been had

at the time of the annual anditing concerning the exact amount of the treasurer's receipts, which ought of course to be corroborated by the best attainable evidence. The auditors are happy to be able to say that they were ably assisted by the treasurer, and that a change of system has been adopted in keeping the books and papers, which will make the auditing more simple and certain in the future.
The treasurer being also the collector of taxes, renders it necessary for the auditors to ascertain the exact amount of all remittances of taxes, and all interest collected on taxes, and all discount made to tax- payers.
The present examination of the collector's and treasurer's accounts shows that on Feb. 1, 1879, the interest that had been collected on the taxes of 1875 amounted to $722.27; the interest that had been collected on the taxes of 1876 amounted to $573.98; and the dis - count on the taxes of 1878 amounted to $2,315.38.
We found the accounts to be thoroughly vouched and rightly cast, and that in the treasurer's hands, including uncollected taxes, there was, Feb. 1, 1879, the amount of $26,887.71, not including the in- terest that may have been collected on the taxes of 1877 and 1878.
