Question about old survey

    Hello.   

    On an old (1888)plan of a town where I have bought some land,  the lots that have been occupied at the.time.of the survey all have three values assigned, : A, R, P.   I assume the A=acres,  but have.no idea what the R and P would represent.   I have attached a sample to show what I’m referring to.       Anyone have any ideas what R and P mean?

     Thanks for any insight you can provide.
