Transcription Notes:
Revenues and Expenditures headings repeated for each section for ease of understanding. I agree that adding the headings makes the transcription more readable, although we're asked to make a transcription, not adding words that don't exist, so I think it would be better to keep using the bracket signs [[...]] in any cases one add something that isn't in the original text.
