A review of scale tickets, board prices and stall challenge slips finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the covered fish hall at South Slip. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: a standard weight has a worn maker mark near its lower rim.
The scale tickets, board prices and stall challenge slips lists 95 loads checked against the public scale; the previous window lists 94. Tomas Reed checked both against time-stamped route logs checked against field visits. The source was checked against a second copy held by Marek Stone. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
Sellers favor one shared standard. Buyers want a second test when the ticket and board price diverge. The office has not supplied a separate measure that would settle the disagreement, so the two explanations remain competing accounts.
This report supports a narrower finding: the count is repeatable, but it is not enough to decide whether a disputed weight can be checked without closing the morning stall row.
The council records a decision for this window and gives its written reason. The board recorded the outcome that it approved a narrower exception with an appeal route.
