AUDITOR'S REPORT.


Under the ordinance of 1875, the City Treasurer is required to charge interest at the rate of twelve per cent per annum on all taxes remaining unpaid on and after the first day of November. The dis- count formerly allowed on taxes paid prior to the first day of October is now discontinued, but this im- poses no additional payment, inasmuch as no dis- count is included in the overlay as before.


The only taxes remaining unpaid December 31, 1875, belonged to that and the previous year, viz: $4,077 to 1874, and $63,020.83 to 1875.


In addition to other items which must be covered in the assessment for 1876, are three appropriations, amounting to $36,000, made in 1875, subsequent to the regular appropriations and grant for that year. Of this amount, $35,000 was appropriated for high- way purposes, and $1,000 for the City Stables in Ward Two.


THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT.


The accompanying statement of the City Treas- urer exhibits the transactions of the Department under his charge, the business of which is largely increasing in volume and detail. Included in the receipts of the year are $400,000 from sales of water scrip, $425,000 from temporary loans exclusive of the amount borrowed from the " Water Loan Fund," and $373,506.89 from taxes, the remaining receipts having accrued from miscellaneous sources.


Among the payments appears the item of $475,- 000 on account of temporary loans. This amount includes $50,000 used in payment of the last tem-

porary loan of 1874, viz: cash on hand, taken in December, $20,088.01, and $29,911.99 advanced by the Treasurer to make up the balance as explained in the last Report. The latter, rendered as a tem- porary loan, in his previous account, was reimbursed to the Treasurer January 14, 1875, the whole amount having been entered upon the first pay-rolls for that month, as required by City Ordinance in all cases in which payments or advances are made between the regular monthly pay-days.

THE PUBLIC PROPERTY.


It will be seen by reference to the schedule of public property, on pages 65 and 66, that the esti- mated value of buildings, lands and other property owned by the City Dec. 31, 1875, was $735,321.75. This is an increase of $30,171.75 over the previous year, growing out of the completion of the City Stables in Ward Two, the enlargement of the High School Building, and the purchase of other property in 1875.


The schedule does not include the Newton Free Library, since transferred to the City. This very noble and munificent gift, including land, building, and a well selected library of upwards of 11,000 volumes, the whole valued at $70,000, increases the aggregate valuation of City property to $805,321.75 -nearly $100,000 over 1874.

AUDITOR'S REPORT.


CONCLUSION.


The. present Report includes most of the docu- ments which have usually been published in connec- tion with the financial transactions of the Town and City. The Report of the City Registrar is omitted for the reason that only a portion of it could be given, the statistics of births in 1875 not having been collected in time for publication in its pages. Following the detailed statements of expenditure will be found the Tax List, and the Reports of the Acting Chief of Police, Overseers of Poor, and Chief Engineer of the Fire Department.


Respectfully submitted,


JULIUS L. CLARKE, Auditor of Accounts.


ANALYSES OF EXPENDITURES.


The following Analyses have been collated as nearly as possible in conformity with the City Ordi- nance which requires publication of complete details, including even the smallest sums paid and the names of the parties to whom they are paid. It will be noticed that many pages are taken up with the names of persons receiving sums ranging from a few cents to two or three dollars each, thus involving needless labor and a useless expense to the City. It is believed that it would be very much better to group in one amount, in each account in which they occur, all sums under one or two, or perhaps three dollars, leaving all sums in excess thereof to be reported in detail as now. The aggregates thus grouped as paid "Sundry Parties," would be in every case comparatively small.


The several accounts as analyzed for the present Report show, as in previous Reports of the Town and City, the gross amounts paid from the treasury, and also in the same connection the net amounts in all cases in which any portion of the expenditure has been re-imbursed, together with the amount so re-imbursed.


EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT.


Expenditures incurred under the General and Special Appropriations for educational purposes, are


2


analyzed in the accompanying statements. The sal- aries paid Teachers in 1875 were as follows : -

Grammar Schools : Masters, $2,200; Head Assis- tants, $800; First Assistants, $700; other Assistants in Grammar, and Teachers in Primary Schools, $650.


Special Instructor in Music, $2,500; in Drawing, $2,000.
