Start with sealed cargo lists, weigh slips and the port transfer book. It is the source used to decide how buyers trace a short shipment across two shifts and two scales; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the cargo ramp at Ash Port.
Known: the current file counts 97 sacks matched from ship seal to market receipt, compared with 101 in the prior window. The committee records a decision and the reason on the public board. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: The carrier counts the sealed load. The market counts what remains after the ramp transfer. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to the ramp transfer is recorded before the market scale opens.
Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.
Next: The board recorded the outcome that it closed the request after a second measure confirmed the current threshold.
