TOWN OF LYNNFIELD


ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE


The cash on hand and cash and securities in the various Trust Funds are as stated in the Treasurer's Report and the Balance Sheet.


The receipts as reported by the Collector of Taxes and the Treas- urer were as stated in the reports of those officials.


The payments from the various appropriations for the year were as stated in the foregoing report, and the Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1935, correctly sets forth the financial condition of the Town at the close of the year.


The year 1935 has shown a marked change for the better in that the amount of unpaid taxes and tax titles on December 31st has de- creased over the corresponding date in 1934 and it was necessary to carry over $25,000 in Revenue Loans as against $35,000 for the previous year.
