TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES
1. Used a comma instead of a space after every third digit from right
to left in numbers of more than three digits in keeping with authors
preference.
2. Table 9 on p. 228 has an error in the math. The total of the second
column is $1,259,149,434 instead of $1,259,049,434. The latter does
agree with the difference arrived at in the next line.
3. Added "Grand total—All assets" to last line in Table 10 on p. 230 as
this description agrees with the actual totals provided.
4. Silently corrected simple spelling, grammar, and typographical
errors.
5. Retained anachronistic and non-standard spellings as printed.
6. Enclosed italics font in _underscores_.
7. Adjacent identical columns duplicated more than twice were not shown
in the representations of the forms.
8. The forms that were too wide were split. The following section(s)
originally continued to the right.
