At the common market at Three Counties Gate, Lena Orr puts the joint fee schedule and seller receipts from both towns beside one town applies a cleaning fee before the market bell. The detail is easy to miss in a summary, but it determines whether a posted rule describes the place people actually use.

Lena Orr is the market fee auditor. On this cold harbor visit, the work begins with a dated entry and ends with a second check from someone who did not make the first one.

The the joint fee schedule and seller receipts from both towns lists 92 stalls charged the same listed rate on both sides; the previous window lists 86. Tomas Reed checked both against time-stamped route logs checked against field visits. The number is one part of a larger handoff between the office, the people who use the service and the staff expected to maintain it.

The town office calls cleaning a public service. Sellers ask that it appear beside the rate, not below it. Residents and workers have asked the clerk to keep their accounts beside the source count rather than turn them into a single average.

Workers and residents submit accounts before the public hearing closes. The Year second, cold harbor window 3 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The market council will post the full amount for one comparison period.
