Reader’s notes
p. 35. Single-panel table, 5 columns (stub plus 4 data columns), one heading level. The "Board^1" row prints a value (1) only in the first data column; the other three columns carry dash rules, transcribed as empty cells. All four column totals as printed agree with the sum of the rows above them (564, 508, 512, 641). The scan carries stray specks (e.g. near "7. Detroit" in the stub and in the Elections-directed column beside "9. Cincinnati"); these are not printed characters. The "Total" figure in the Notices-of-hearing-issued column is slightly blotted but reads 564, consistent with the column sum.
