TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE
The cash deposits and securities in the various Trust Funds are as stated in the Treasurer's Report.
I certify that the receipts as reported by the present Treasurer were as stated in that official's report, and that the payments, by the various departments for the year were as stated in the foregoing report.
The balance sheet of the Town as of Dcemeber 31, 1933 is in agree- ment with the books of the Town and, in my opinion, it correctly pre- sents the financial position of the Town as of December 31, 1933.
The cooperation of the present Town Treasurer and the Collector of Taxes, has been of great assistance in performing the accounting, and the prompt submission of the reports of other departments helps con- siderably in the compilation of this report.
