Reader’s notes
p. 288. No column headings are printed on this crop; the table continues from the preceding page/section, so header_rows is empty. The table has two printed columns: the stub of object-of-expenditure labels and a single amount column. A sliver of a line of type is cut off along the very top edge of the crop (above "Salaries"); only the bottoms of a few characters remain and it is illegible, so it is not transcribed. In the grand-total row a small stray mark sits immediately before 8,263,202 (rendered as a short raised tick). It is most likely a broken/partly inked dollar sign or a scan artifact rather than a footnote marker, and it carries no readable digit or letter, so the cell is transcribed as 8,263,202 with nothing appended. Arithmetic check (not used to alter any cell): the twelve detail amounts sum to exactly 8,263,202, matching the printed grand total, which corroborates the transcribed digits.
