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 received for the year 1948 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, 1948.
I wish to express my appreciation to the Honorable Board of Selectmen and to all other officers and employees who have co-oper- ated in carrying on the work of this department.
Respectfully submitted,
THEODORE C. PALIZZOLO, Town Accountant
