Transcriber's Notes:
In transcribing I have tried to keep the original case size of each word 
and spelling of this document and have not changed any punctuation or any 
known abbreviations.
Several words were abbreviated.
ats - seems to be "also known as" or an alias
*the money abbreviation which looks like a written small e is over both 
these numbers.  I have been unable to find out what these represent.
