The latest file on the winter allotment records that a field check has compared the written rule with the place where it is used. The existing rule remains in force; officials have not announced a permanent change.
Ira Dannel, delegate for the Lower Steps ward, said the latest file records 21 registered households, compared with 23 in the previous count. The figures cover the entries on the register, not every condition at the site.
The old rule favors wards by population; delegates from the steepest passages argue that travel time and storage loss also matter. The current record does not settle that disagreement. At the latest public table, residents asked the clerk to keep their account beside the source count. No final finding has been issued.
Mara Veld checked the household allocation book and the ward’s signed objections against the field notes. The method is to begin with the signed text, then test it against the people asked to carry it out; it confirms the entries, but not every interpretation attached to them. The docket is marked WINTER-ALLOTMENT-05, and the next check is assigned to a second crew.
Ward delegates will return with separate estimates of loss and delivery time. Until that check is complete, the schedule already in force continues to govern.
