SEALER OF WEIGHTS & MEASURES
Checks are periodically made on all measuring and weighing devices in Lynnfield. By law all such scales, pumps and containers are checked, adjusted if necessary and sealed annually. This process protects both the con- sumer and vendor, insuring proper weights and measures. Prepackaged goods must have price per pound, weight and cost per package to be legally sold and are checked at various intervals as to their accuracy.

VETERANS SERVICES
-
Three permanent Veterans Benefit cases were processed during 1968, one of which was a Nursing Home case, now deceased. Another unforseen labor dispute resulted in tem- porary cases which required a transfer of funds from the Reserve Account amounting to $750.00.
Vietnam Bonus applications were received and many veterans were advised on the filing of the same; also my sin- cere thanks to Mr. Higgins, Town Clerk and his staff for the wonderful co-operation given to the Veterans on these applications.
The War Memorial Plaque on the Lynnfield Common was dedicated on Memorial Day with appropriate ceremon- ies, and much credit should be given to other members of the committee for a "job well done"; also as usual Veterans graves throughout the towns cemeteries cared for in the usual manner by Post 131 American Legion, Lynnfield.
Respectfully submitted, Burton B. Cogswell, Veterans Service Director Veterans Agent.
DOG OFFICER
CHARLES VABALARO Dog Officer
This report covers the year 1968 in which there were a total of 756 complaints answered and investigated made at the request of the police department, the Animal Rescue League, the School Department, and Citizens of Lynnfield.
37 dog bites were reported to the dog Officer
67 dogs and 5 cats were picked up by the department kept in custody and eventually returned to rightful owners in Wakefield, Peabody, Reading, Malden, Amesbury, Sau- gus, and Lynnfield. Of the 67 dogs 11 were unlicensed and the owners were forced to license the dogs before release.
1025 dogs were licensed last year 50 females 551 males
424 spayed females
436 warning cards were sent to the owners of unlicensed dogs at the direction of the Peabody District Court. 5 meet- ings were held with the Selectmen.
I would like to thank all the Departments involved for the excellent cooperation shown to me in 1968. The relent- less efforts will be extended in 1969 to the end that all dogs will be licensed.
And in 1969 I direct an earnest plea to the parents of school age children to make an honest effort to restrain your dogs so that they will not follow your children to school. This will eliminate fear and severe danger from dog packs. This type of dog is a menace to the safety of others and will be treated accordingly.
Respectfully submitted Charles J. Cavallaro Dog Officer.

BOARD OF ASSESSORS
At the request of the Board of Assessors a Town Mapping Committee was appointed by the Board of Select- men to analyze the requirements of the Town. The Com- mittee was composed of representatives of the following Boards, Committees and Departments:
Board of Selectmen Board of Assessors Planning Board Board of Health
Town Counsel Lynnfield Water District Lynnfield Center Water District Drainage Committee Finance Committee Capital Outlay Committee Road Commissioner Conservation Commission
After considerable months of study, the Committee recommended that a complete set of maps, both topo- graphic and tax maps be purchased and made available to all Town Departments.
Article 29 was approved by the 1968 Annual Town Meeting for the expenditure of the sum of $53,500 for the complete mapping program as recommended by the Mapping Committee.
The purchase of both topographic (contour) and tax maps resulted in a $21,000 savings to the Town.
A forty-two (42) page set of specifications was con- densed into a thirty (30) page set of contract specifications. These specifications were mailed to sixteen (16) mapping firms with known capabilities.
Proposals were received from eight (8) mapping com- panies with bids ranging from $42,000 to $85,000 for the project.
The Air Survey Corporation of Reston, Virginia was awarded the contract on the basis of experience and ability to perform to the contract specifications and their indicated willingness to comply with the rigid requirements within the specified dates. The Air Survey Corporation was also the company that submitted the lowest proposal for the complete project.
The committee hired Mr. Howard Bennett, Supervisor in the Boston Redevelopment Authority. Registered Engineer and former Aerial Mapping Supervisor, as con- sultant and adviser. Mr. Bennett is a Beverly resident.
Aerial flights were made on April 18th, 19th and 20th and resulted in near perfect photographs showing various features of the Town in great detail. During June and July teams of ground surveyors were seen on the main roads of Lynnfield checking out ground control monu- ments. At the same time topographic ( contour ) maps were being drawn from the aerial photographs. The map in- dexing system, legends and format for the topographic and tax map sheets were approved just before Labor Day. Micro-filming of all deeds and abstracts began after September 1st and were completed within a week. Initial drafting of tax maps started September 15, 1968 and will be completed by the end of January, 1969.
An informative meeting will be held with all Town Departments and Committees to acquaint and familiarize them with the maps and the uses to which they can be put.
From a layman's point of view, the new topographic and tax maps provide a wealth of information never before obtainable.
1.) Both types of maps contain an index sheet showing sixty (60) individual map sheets into which the Town has been divided.
2.) Map scales are 1 inch equal 100 feet with the addition of 2 foot contour intervals on the topo- graphic maps.
3.) All map sheets contain a format which includes an explanation of symbols used and a small index of the Town to assist in locating the proper in- dividual area.
4. ) Tax maps show parcel or lot lines, frontage, shape, easements, streets, right of ways, traveled ways, ponds, lakes and other waterways. Each parcel of land has the legal lot number and an assigned parcel number to identify present owner, plus many other features.
5.) Topographic maps show elevation of terrain in vertical 2 foot contour intervals, grade of lots, streets, roads, ponds, lakes, waterways, natural drainage features, flood plain lines etc.
A map display will be set up in the Town Hall at a later date and the Board hopes the Townspeople will avail themselves of this opportunity to become acquainted with the new maps.
The Board of Assessors will make itself available to various Town groups to explain in detail the use of these new maps.
Any taxpayer who did not receive the pamphlet en- titled "No Tax Increase for Home Maintenance and Re- pairs" with their 1968 tax bill, may obtain a copy of same at the Assessors Office.
