TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
ACCOUNTANT'S CERTIFICATE
I have examined the cash receipts and securities in the various Trust Funds in the hands of the Treasurer and find them to be as stated in the Treasurer's Report.
The income from Trust Funds in the hands of others has been re- ceived for the year 1947 and credited to the proper accounts.
The receipts as reported by the Treasurer agree with the books and that payments of the town correctly present the financial status as of December 31, 1947.
In the past year this office has been obliged to assume the duty of making deductions from Town Employees salaries for Blue Cross, Essex County Retirement and Withholding Taxes. Two hundred sixty-four accounts were maintained for these purposes and the total deductions amounted to $12,268.79.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all department heads for their co-operation in supplying me with the annual reports of their departments.
