What could still settle a positive — the closing gaps article

The pass's own gap register, EXPAND-IV4-NOTE §5 (the G4 series)

A negative is only as good as the list of things that could overturn it, and the list is short and named. Three record classes could still place a business inside the town, and each stands as a named gap with its settler: the state business-entity search run live on the town's seven street addresses (an interactive tool a text pass cannot submit, parameters in the pass note — it would name registered entities, and could never clear sole proprietors); the town's ordinance and licence record, held by the clerk-treasurer, the same settler that carries the town's services gaps from the frame pass; and page-image reads of the county directory shelf at the years a canvass might have caught a short-lived trade — the class that settled neighbouring towns' small firms elsewhere in this county's builds. Until one of them lands, the businesses record for Indian Village is complete at its true size: no firm, at any date, on any carrier reached — a one-line roster, printed as a finding and not as an oversight.
