Carrier classes named

What did not survive testing, and what class of carrier carried it. this section's failures, gathered: a taking dated 1832 for ground the record plots to 1828 — carried by a local-history narrative reprinted in a draft plan; a town named "Earl Town" — carried by that same narrative alone, against the county history's tavern stand; a railroad dated 1845 — carried by an uncited compilation sentence and the same narrative, against the county history's sequence; a population "fall" from 350 to 227 — carried by comparing a village estimate with a town's first count; a 175th birthday — carried by a Michigan newspaper about a Michigan village; a "world's largest" — carried by the company's own releases; a "second lowest tax rate" — carried by a mirrored fragment of town promotion; an incorporation in 1905 — carried by a federal overview against three local carriers. None of these is deleted from the record: each prints with its carrier named and its answer beside it, which is the whole method of this section — a claim is not honoured by repeating it, and not buried by silence either.
