A review of queue tickets, gate opening marks and stall delivery receipts finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the lower gate at Coal Row Market. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: the freight lane is shared with a neighborhood water cart.
The queue tickets, gate opening marks and stall delivery receipts lists 21 deliveries admitted before the first public bell; the previous window lists 15. Vek Cinder checked both against meter readings checked against a dated shift and operating condition. The source was checked against a second copy held by Nazza Wire. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
Merchants want a dedicated lane. Residents say the water cart cannot wait until the market is stocked. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide how to keep early market freight moving without blocking a neighborhood service.
Workers and neighbors submit accounts before the hearing closes. The Year third, cinder winter window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The gate steward will test alternating freight and water-cart windows.
