TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
I have examined the Cash Receipts in the various Trust Funds in the hands of the Town Treasurer and find them to be correct. During the year the Arkansas Power & Light Company bond in the George N. Blake Library Fund was called and the bank did not report such con- dition until long after the Town's book's were closed. Therefore, an adjustment in the income of said fund will be necessary for the year 1944.
The receipts as reported by the Treasurer agree with the books and the payments by the various departments were as stated in the foregoing report, to the best of my knowledge and belief.
In the past year this office has been obliged to assume the duty of keeping a record and reporting to the Internal Revenue Department all taxes withheld from Town employees. 174 accounts were maintained for this purpose and the total amount of tax withheld amounted to $3,883.27.
Respectfully submitted,
LESLIE E. LUSCOMBE, Town Accountant
