ITEM 2 · EACH CANDIDATE TESTED ON THE RECORD — NONE CROWNED, PER THE STANDARD
The firsts article is where this build's discipline matters most, because a "first woman" is a claim about every woman who held an office before — and the run reports the test on each of the town's documented women officeholders without crowning any of them. Clerk-Treasurer: Terri Buckmaster has held the office since 1 January 2012 — a long, documented tenure; whether she is the first woman in the office is not established by any source reached, the office's earlier holders standing in the file at succession strength without the comparison the crown requires. Council: Karol Jackson and Joyce Joiner stand in the present council record — documented members; the council's full historical roll, against which a first could be proved, is not extracted in the banked set. The branch counter: Myrna R. Daube's twenty-three years as the license branch's manager (1969–1992, settled by this build's own W-11 addendum) make her the town's longest-documented woman officeholder of the patronage era — a tenure, again, not a crowned first. The verdict is printed as the item's finding: Walkerton's women hold offices across its whole modern record, documented individually and well, and the "first" for each office stands unverified — its settler the Clerk's election records and the council minutes' full roll, named in the run note, because this build does not award firsts on likelihood.
