Reader’s notes
p. 201. Seven columns: stub, "Cases in which formal actions taken", then four case-type columns under "Formal actions taken by type of case" (Total formal actions taken, RC, RM, RD, UD). The top heading band spans columns 2-6 only; the stub and the "Cases in which formal actions taken" column each span both heading levels. Arithmetic check (no values altered): the printed "Total formal actions taken" column equals RC + RM + RD in all 22 rows and does NOT include the UD column. E.g. row "Hearings completed, total": 1,980 + 106 + 81 = 2,167 as printed, while adding UD (2) would give 2,169. This is consistent throughout the table, so it appears to be the table's convention (UD figures tallied separately) rather than a misprint. All vertical subtotals also reconcile: 2,449 = 2,314 + 135; 2,249 = 2,005 + 244; 2,005 = 1,794 + 211; 244 = 197 + 47; 197 = 159 + 38; 47 = 32 + 15; 869 = 444 + 425; 425 = 377 + 25 + 23; 377 = 222 + 155. The scan renders the dotted "i" in several words faintly (e.g. "Initial hearings", "Decisions issued"), but the words are unambiguous. Several row labels wrap across two printed lines and have been joined, with end-of-line hyphens repaired ("regional director's re- port" -> "regional director's report"). The caption's footnote marker 1 is attached to the caption, which is excluded per instructions; no footnote markers appear on any body cell or column heading. No part of the table appears cut off by the crop.
