We still have under consideration a modest business district for the Center, but until such time that we can locate a desirable space with an owner that will co-operate we are not in a position to make any recommendations.

The Board of Assessors has started this year on the tremendous task of equalizing and revaluing the entire town. This will probably take several years to complete and we hope that the taxpayers will cooperate with us. The equalization program plus the large volume of new construction has and will take many extra hours.

TOWN OF LYNNFIELD
REPORT OF CEMETERY COMMISSIONERS
To the Citizens of the Town of Lynnfield:
The Cemetery Commissioners report that all five Town Ceme- teries have been given general care as far as the appropriation of last year would permit.
At the Forest Hill Cemetery the filling in for the new lots was done. We are asking for a small amount of money this year to do the grading, which was not completed last year.
Work on permanent roadways was done as far as the appro- priation would go. The Commissioners would like to keep this going by doing a short distance each year and trust the voters give the amount asked for.
Respectfully submitted,
ARTHUR W. BRYANT, RAYMOND R. PEARSON, MILTON W. DOREMUS, Cemetery Commissioners
