Lynnfield 1908 - 1958 Annual Report of 1908 Summarized
Let's look over our shoulder and back through the years in which Lynnfield has been growing. Let's go back fifty years and see what a Town Report looked like then. Let's make some comparisons between the expenditures the Town made for school expense, high- way expense, its welfare costs and all the other items toward which tax dollars are and have been spent whether the year be 1908 or 1958.
