Most of it I didnt understand. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-23 02:45:59 Beginning over. Proper table format is required for this type of report. --- Started table format. Completed through US. Government strikethrough. --- In one of the first rows with writing in ink, it should be lots not 1. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-27 16:37:01 ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-27 18:23:56 table was not completed Not sure if the county for the second part of the table should say Warwick because that is the written right above or Eliz City since the line with Warwick has been crossed out. ----------------- These people appear over and over in the monthly reports--they are definitely in Warwick.
