Reader’s notes
p. 33. No column headings, caption, or footnotes appear on this crop, so header_rows is empty. The table has no printed column rules; the three numeric columns were identified from the right-aligned positions of the figures, which step leftward as the stub indentation deepens: the rightmost column (cells 3) holds 3,065 / 1,820 / 1,245, the middle column (cells 2) holds 1,185 / 632 / 3, and the leftmost numeric column (cells 1) holds all the detail figures (1,092 through 5). This assignment is corroborated by the arithmetic as printed: 1,092+4+50+39=1,185; 47+100+485=632; 2+1+0=3; 1,185+632+3=1,820; 511+729+5=1,245; 1,820+1,245=3,065. No value is doubtful. Typographic rules (a double rule under 3,065 / above 1,820, and a rule under 1,245) are not transcribed. The "Amendment to certification" row is printed without leader dots. The last row, "Other ... 5", sits at the bottom edge of the crop; if the printed table continued below, that continuation is not visible here.
