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 have been received for the year 1962 and credited to the proper accounts. The re- ceipts as reported by the Treasurer agree with the books, and that payments of the town correctly present the financial status as of December 31, 1962.
I take this opportunity to thank the Honorable Board of Selectmen, all Town Officers, all Town Employees, and the Town Report Committee who have contributed so much of their time and talent in compiling this report.

Report Of State Auditor
Mr. Arthur H. Mackinnon Director of Accounts
Department of Corporations and Taxation Boston, Massachusetts
As directed by you, I have made an audit of the books and accounts of the town of Lynn- field for the period from May 22, 1960, the date of the previous examination, to July 28, 1962, the following report being submitted thereon :
The records of financial transactions of the several departments receiving oľ disbursing money for the town or committing bills for col- lection were examined and checked with the records of the Town accountant and town treasurer.
The books and accounts in the town account- ant's office were examined and checked in de- tail. The receipts, as recorded, were compared with the treasurer's books and with the records in the several departments collecting money for the town, while the recorded payments were checked with the treasurer's cash book and with the treasury warrants. The appropriations and transfers, as entered, were checked with the town clerk's records of town meeting votes and with the finance committee's records of transfers authorized from the reserve fund.
An analysis was made of the ledger accounts, a trial balance was taken off, the necessary ad- justments resulting from the audit were made, and a balance sheet, a copy of which is append- ed to this report, was prepared showing the financial condition of the town as of July 28, 1962.
The books and records of the town treasurer were examined and checked in detail. The cash book additions were verified, and the recorded receipts were compared with the town account- ant's books, with the records of the several de- partments collecting money for the town, and with other sources from which money is paid into the town treasury. The recorded payments were checked with the selectmen's warrants authorizing the treasurer to disburse town funds and with the accountant's records.
The cash balance on July 28, 1962 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balances with statements furnished by the banks of deposit, and by actual count of the cash in the office.
The payments on account of maturing debt and interest were verified by comparison with the amounts falling due and were checked with the cancelled securities and coupons on file. The
outstanding coupons were listed and reconciled with the amounts on deposit for their payment, as shown by statements furnished by the de- positories.
The records of payroll deductions on account of Federal and State taxes, the county and teach- ers' retirement systems, and group insurance were examined and checked with the treasurer's books, while the balances in the general treasury on July 28, 1962 were proved.
The records of tax titles and tax possessions held by the town were examined and checked, and all transactions pertaining thereto were verified. The tax titles and tax possessions on hand were listed and checked with the records at the Registry of Deeds.
The savings bank books and securities repre- senting the investment of the trust and invest- ment funds in the custody of the town treasurer and the trustees were examined and listed. The income was proved, and all transactions and balances were verified and checked with the books of the town accountant.
The books of the tax collector were examined and checked. The town and water district taxes and excise outstanding at the time of the previ- ous examination, together with all subsequent commitment lists, were audited and checked with the assessors' warrants issued for their collection. The recorded collections were com- pared with the payments to the town and dis- trict treasurers, the abatements, as recorded, were proved with the assessors' records of abate- ments granted, the transfers to the tax title ac- count were proved, and the outstanding accounts were listed and reconciled with the respective controlling accounts in the accountant's ledger.
The cash on hand July 28, 1962 was proved by reconciliation of the bank balance with a statement furnished by the bank of deposit, by verification of the deposit in transit, and by actual count of the cash in the office.
Further verification of the outstanding town and district taxes and excise was made by mail- ing notices to a number of persons whose names appeared on the books as owing money to the town and the districts, the replies received there- to indicating that the outstanding accounts, as listed, are correct.
The financial records of the town clerk were examined and checked in detail. The records of receipts on account of dog and sporting licenses, as well as from miscellaneous charges, were ex-
44
amined, checked, and compared with the pay- ments to the treasurer and the Division of Fish- eries and Game.
The records of departmental collections by the selectmen, the sealer of weights and measures, and the inspectors of buildings, plumbing, and wiring, as well as by the police, fire, health, school, library, and cemetery departments, and by all other departments in which money was col- lected for the town, were examined and checked. The recorded collections were compared with the payments to the treasurer as shown by the treasurer's and the accountant's records, and the cash on hand in the several departments, in- cluding petty cash advances, was proved by ac- tual count.
The surety bonds on file for the several town officials required by law to furnish them for
the faithful performance of their duties were examined and found to be in proper form.
Appended to this report, in addition to the balance sheet, are tables showing reconciliations of the treasurer's and tax collector's cash, sum- maries of the tax, excise, tax title, tax posses- sion, and departmental accounts, together with schedules showing the condition and transac- tions of the several trust and investment funds.
During the progress of the audit cooperation was received from all town officials, for which, on behalf of my assistants and for myself, I wish to express appreciation.
Respectfully submitted, WILLIAM SCHWARTZ Assistant Director of Accounts

Fire Department
Carl E. Davis
1962 was a busy year for your Fire Depart- ment. The fire-fighting force responded to 96 more alarms than in 1961 and were paid 2795 more manhours than in 1961. Total salaries and wages paid in the fiscal year represent an approx- imate cost of $390.00 per week in the operation of the department.
Private Arthur W. Hudson (on leave of ab- sence) passed away in February. Private Hud- son was appointed a Substitute call member of the Department April 1, 1959, and promoted to Private July 1, 1960. His service and devo- tion to duty was an inspiration to all members of this Department.
Robert W. Peabody was appointed temporary clerk in April. The new Mack (Engine 1) was received in August and placed in service at Company 2 in September. A new radio was purchased and installed in Deputy Chief Na- toli's private vehicle in June, and in December, Engine 3 was repaired and upgraded costing $1195.00.
Deputy Chief Joseph Natoli, Jr., drillmaster, conducted 39 weekly drills which allowed De- partment personnel to maintain and increase their knowledge and efficiency. Seventeen officer meetings were held, allowing discussion of De- partment operations and problems. The Fire Prevention Bureau, under Private Stephen L. Koch, spent 466 manhours on the following:
48 - Oil Burner Inspections 6 - L. P. Gas Inspections
25 - Public School Inspections
13 - Kindergarten Inspections
76 - Business Inspections
14 - Church Inspections
4 - Nursing Home Inspections 18 - Town Building Inspections
The Fire Alarm Maintenance operation, under Supervisor James V. Thompson, continued to improve the municipal alarm system. A study and report by the New England Fire Insurance Rating Association in July was of much value in providing information to allow us to program an orderly improvement of the system.
