Notes and Questions

If one adds the market value column to the three items that don't have a "market value" entry, the total comes to 52,780.95 or a discrepancy of $2490 from the $55270.95 shown as the sum at the bottom of the page. Next page notes that the $2490 discrepancy, is a capital loss. Apparently embarrassed by that, the minutes point out the the Super's house has appreciated more than that!
