Transcription Notes:
Reopened 5/17/24--this has not been completed. The table at the bottom of the page, and all of the footnotes, etc need to be transcribed. ----------------------------------------- Please review TC instructions on how to transcribe a table. Had to erase previous transcription and start again. Work in progress. --------- √ is not a checkmark, please use [[checkmark]] ----------------------- Seems to be conflicting views of TC instructions. They request explicitly that we minimize the use of bracket notations when transcribing tables. Using a checkmark symbol seems to be a good solution to do this. (Alt 251 on a keyboard). ---------------------------- Work in progress. The final "table within a table" at the bottom still needs transcribing. Leaving that for someone else to tackle. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-17 00:47:41 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-17 10:32:37 5/17/24--this has not been completed. The table at the bottom of the page, and all of the footnotes, etc needs to be transcribed. ---------- 5/17/24--did my best take on the table at the bottom. Looking at the written in column headings, they are the same as columns 9-12 of the printed column headings. So, I positioned the contents of this "sub-table" to align with that. And then, the numbers to the right of the numbers for York County are the totals of the columns in the "sub-table", so, while it's not actually a separate row, I treated it that way and aligned the values to the appropriate column. I hope this is acceptable! Also, I wasn't sure what the final decision was on the checkmark, so I used the [[checkmark]] notation. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-17 17:09:04
