where perpendicular height from the plane of the
bridgeway was known to be 12 and 1/8 inches
a half a score of years ago , has not settled

On line 1, the # '101' is stamped in the color charcoal gray on the upper right-hand corner of the page.
In line 16, in the word 'prospering', the letter 'o' does not resemble an o, but maybe an r. The writer
has written their 'o' like this several times. I put o even though it looks like an r. Let me know which way is correct. Another example of this is the first word in line 5. The first word which I believe is 'more'
In line 16, the line is unbroken and situated between the bottom and the mid-line.
Starting in line 17, the first four question numerals,1-4, start at the top of the line and end at about the mid-line.
In line 19, at the end, a few spaces after the '?', there appears to be an asterisk.
In lines 25 and 28, the last two questions, #'s - '5' & '6' respectively, are normal-sized and on the line.
In line 9, the '1/8' actually is a 1 with a line underneath and the 8 under the line.
