I have transcribed these pages to
the best of my ability. No doubt there are errors in some of the
transcriptions and possibly in the order of some of the items listed on
continued pages and/or columns. I have supplied the decimal points in
lieu of the vertical lines on the original documents, and some zeros
following an indicated decimal when the total dollar amount clearly
shows the unit amount was figured as hundredths of a dollar (cents). I
have not included all ditto () marks as in many cases it was
impossible to determine from the photocopies if these actually existed,
and when they were evident, in which column they belonged. I have
included them where they were clearly legible, along with the other
markings, (ie; Do = Ditto as does and ~). -Charlotte Clarke Geier,
