Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-28 16:38:16 Reopening, table rows havent been transcribed. Please just hit SAVE if you work on it but don't finish it. NARA microfilm numbers for this project have four digits, and the last digit on this page is illegible, so it is transcribed as 071[[?]]. Not complete - needs proofreading as well ------------------------- Now completed. Because of the way the information in this table is broken into sections by Dist Supt, it is more helpful to the reader to bring those section headers into the table itself, which is what I have done. The previous transcriber had them all located outside of the table and separated from their respective underlying data.
