p. 19. Two printed columns: a stub of object-class labels and a single unlabelled money column. No column headings appear on this crop (the table continues from above), so header_rows is empty. The very top edge of the crop shows the bottom sliver of a preceding line of text (a few comma-and-digit shapes, probably a prior amount or a section line); it is cut off and illegible, so it is not transcribed. A short horizontal rule separates "Taxes and assessments" from the grand total line; the grand-total label is printed on two lines and is joined here. Small ink specks appear over the leader dots on the "Other contractual services" and "Supplies and materials" lines; these look like scan artifacts, not footnote markers. The listed items sum exactly to the printed grand total of 8,789,605, which supports the digit readings.
