Reader’s notes
p. 98. Four printed columns. The percent column is typeset with a space after the decimal point (e.g. "84. 1"); transcribed as "84.1". Likewise digit-grouping spaces after commas were closed up. The row label "1938." carries a stray period before the leader dots; transcribed as "1938". The single footnote line is clipped by the bottom edge of the crop — the characters are faint but legible and read "1 Including the period July 1-Aug. 21, 1947."; the final period is inferred from the clipped baseline. Arithmetic check: both numeric columns sum exactly to the printed Total 1936-47 when the July 1-Aug. 21, 1947 line is included (9,131,659 and 7,677,135), consistent with footnote 1.
