The latest confirmed development in winter allotment is that the first implementation notes have been compared with the promise in the minutes. The update comes from the Upper Chamber of Measures; officials have not announced a permanent change to the rule.

Ira Dannel, delegate for the Lower Steps ward, confirmed 66 registered households in the latest file. The previous count was 64. The figures do not yet resolve how reserve grain is divided when two wards reach the ration line in the same week.

The unresolved point is specific: The old rule favors wards by population; delegates from the steepest passages argue that travel time and storage loss also matter. No finding has established that either account is final.

The current arrangement remains in place. The office has not said whether it will change before the next review.

NEXT UPDATE: Ward delegates will return with separate estimates of loss and delivery time. The file will be updated when the second check is complete; until then, the confirmed record is narrower than the claims around it.
