Notes
[This is a continuation of the previous valuation, which described Gunter's personal residence. This one describes the ferry.] Gunter states that he earns $20/day and more over the last three years. John Ross and William Turner testify on oath that they believe gross income is about 10/day. Valuators conclude that after deducting for expenses for hands and board the annual income is $3000 per year.
