A review of lamp maintenance cards and requests from residents on both shifts finds a gap between the total in the public summary and the conditions recorded at the lamps between Veil Market and East Steps. The difference does not prove that anyone misstated the file. It shows what the public count leaves out: a lamp row is dimmed for maintenance before the market closes.
The lamp maintenance cards and requests from residents on both shifts lists 75 public lamps working during the change between schedules; the previous window lists 75. Lucien Vale checked both against the original record checked against the date it was amended and used. The source was checked against a second copy held by Eda Fell. No dated correction to either copy was present when the comparison closed.
The repair office schedules a quiet hour. Market workers say the quiet hour is also the time they travel home. 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 how public lighting is budgeted when maintenance overlaps the busiest transfer hour.
The clerk matches the current rule to the dated amendment and public notice. The Year fourth, long dusk window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The council will compare maintenance hours with transfer counts before setting the next budget.
