THE PARK REGISTER // EPISODE 5 // THE STRETCHED SHADOW
Register five. A surveyor-for-hire measured the south flagpole by its shadow and certified a height no flagpole in the county has ever reached. Tall poles bill taller.
PREVIOUSLY The Chiefs Review cleared the board and sent Mr. Gray name to Pippa George at the county.
THE CASE Micah Dorn, surveyor-for-hire, stretches every shadow reckoning by a fixed ratio and bills park maintenance by the invented height.
Filed by the quartermaster, Pippa George.
