HIGH COURT NOTICES .
Circular Orders issued by Authority of the High Court of Judicature at Fort William in Bengal .
CIVIL .
No. 3, dated the 16th February 1878.
From a report recently submitted by a District Judge, it appears that , in the time of his predecessors , the record - room attached to this Court has been allowed to fall into a state of great confusion . No register of the contents of the record - room had been prepared ; no system in arranging tarranging the records had been followed . The provisions of Circular Order No. 7, dated 4th March 1874, requiring lists of the records sent in by the Lower Courts to be pre- pared on printed forms of a uniform size and bound into volumés, had been overlooked . The papers , the periodical destruction of which was prescribed by Circular Order No. 26, dated 16th November 1865 , and previous Circular Orders of the Sudder Court , had not been touch- ed , though year after year the annual reports contained certificates to the effect that the rules had been complied with . The record -keeper and his deputy had been permitted to delegate their duties to copyists , who were allowed unrestricted access to the record - room , and permitted to do their copying work there , away from the control of the Serishtadar . Irregularities , such as might have been expected in regard to the granting of copies , are said to have resulted .
2. To remedy the irregularities noted above as soon as they were discovered, advantage was taken by the Judge of the Dusserah vacation to employ all the clerks of the Court , who had not taken leave, in making a list of the contents of the racks , and examining , as far as possible, the contents of the bundles . A complete index to the papers , which are now being arranged, is in process of preparation , and something like order is gradually being intro- duced.
3. It is to be feared that a somewhat similar state of things may prevail elsewhere , and consequently the Judges consider it necessary to direct that steps be taken to ascertain in every Court that the record -keeper is performing his duties thoroughly , and not only so far as is sufficient to prevent the immediate detection of neglect .
4. The Court have to remind the District Judges that the native holidays afford oppor- tunities which may be usefully employed in carrying out inquiries for the neglect of which pressure of business is frequently pleaded , and that it must always be possible to make arrangements for the performance of this duty without interfering with the religious observ- ances of their ministerial officers .
5. The object to be attained is of such importance , that the Court trust that all Dis- trict Judges will co-operate heartily in securing it. Officers who may hereafter neglect this duty must bear in mind that they will be held personally responsible.
No. 4, dated the 16th February 1878 .
In lieu of the monthly return , shewing the number of pauper suits decided in the Civil Courts , prescribed by the Circular Order of the late Sudder Court , No. 22 , dated 2nd Octo- ber 1846, the Court is pleased to presoribe for use the annexed form of quarterly statement to be prepared by the District Judge on account of his own and the Subordinate Civil Courts , and by him forwarded to the Collector of the District concerned .
2. Instead of communicating directly with the Collector immediately on passing a decision in favour of a perperson suing in forma pauperis , as directed in Circular Order No. 34 , dated 30th November 1864 , the officer deciding will , in future , within seven days from the day on which the decree is sigued , deliver to the Government Pleader a copy of the decree inthe case .
Statement shewing the number of Pauper Suits decided in the Civil Courts of the District of during the Quarter of the year 18 , and the amount of Stamp Duty leviable on behalf of Government ( Circular Order No. 4 , dated 16th February 1878) .

(10) Resolution of this Government of the 23rd instant , reviewing the estimates of Local and Trust Funds for 1878-79 .
(11) Statement of Provincial Revenues and Expenditure apponded to this Resolution .
THE Lieutenant-Governor has already in separate Resolutions passed orders upon the estimates under the various headsheads of Provincial Services for 1878-79, and upon the estimates of those funds which have hitherto constituted the Provincial Reserve . After these orders were issued, the Government of India acceded to the proposal of this Government to amalgamate withwi the ordinary service heads all the receipts and charges of those funds the surplus balances of which are entirely at the disposal of the Provincial Government for provincial purposes . Under this arrangement the Provincial Reserve Fund, as a separate fund, must cease to exist ; and this alone would render it necossary to revise the estimates of Provincial Services , so as to exhibit the effect of the amalgamation, which takes effect from the 1st April 1878. Besides this, however, the Government of India has by its Financial Resolution No. 1911, dated the 18th instant, and the appended papers , made certain further important modifications in the form and matter of the Imperial estimates , which it is incumbont upon the Provincial Government to follow.
2. In order to explain the effect of the changes referred to in the fore- going paragraph , it may be convenient to recapitulate briefly the various classes of estimatos and accounts with which the Provincial Government has hitherto had to deal. There are first the estimates and accounts of Imperial Services , that is to say , of those branches of rovenue and exponditure which have not been made over to provincial control and management. In its relation to these services the Local Government is in the samo position now that it held before the introduction of the Provincial Services schemo in 1871-72 . Secondly, there are the estimates and accounts of Provincial Services , or of those branches of revenue and expendituro , originally Imperial, made ovor to the management of the Local Government under the prosent system of 244
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, APRIL 3, 1878 .
[PART I.
provincial contracts . Thirdly , there are the estimates and accounts of the funds constituting the Provincial Reserve, that is , of those Local Funds , the balances of which are at the disposal of the Local Government for provincial purposes. Fourthly, there are the estimates and accounts of those Local Funds (properly so called ) which are by law or by their constitution devoted to particular local and limited objects . The amount of control which may be exercised over these by Government varios considerably, and may be said to be at a minimum in the case of the District Road Fund , and at a maximum in the case of the Port Funds . Both these strictly LocLocal Funds , and those hithorto included under the Provincial Reserve, may be divided with reference to their origin into two classes , thus- ( I)-Funds supported by compulsory rating, or by payments under sanction of law, or orders having the force of law.
(II)-Funds made up of payments which are of the nature of rents , tolls, or fees, for services or facilitios rendered or privileges confcrred .
Lastly, there are the accounts and estimates of Municipal Funds . These , though strictly speaking local funds , are not dealt with in the Local Funds Budget of this Government , under which only the funds of the fourth class are treated together.
3. By its Resolution No. 1886, dated the 28th March 1877, the Government of India directed that the transactions of the Local Government, under the head- ing of 'Provincial Services ,' should be ro-incorporated in the general estimates and accounts . The effect of this order was to amalgamate, for the purposes of the Imperial Budget , the first and second classes of accounts and estimates described in the preceding paragraph . The later Resolution , No. 1072 of the 20th February 1878, re - incorporated with the estimates and accounts of Pro- vincial Services " those resources recorded under Local Funds ' which were at the free disposal of the Local Government for expenditure in any part of its jurisdiction without legal let or hindrance. " The effect of this was to incor- porate with the estimates of Provincial Services , and therefore with the Imperial estimatos , the transactions of the funds treated in Bengal as Provincial Reserve (i.e. the third class above described).
In the same Resolution of the 20th February , it was stated that the estimates and accounts of the transactions of Local Funds would thereafter be , "confined to moneys which are not the property of the Government at all, or the appropriation of which is regulated by special laws and limited to territorial units within the provincial jurisdiction or to some specific objects ." The intention of these remarks was understood by this Government to be to leave under the head of Local Funds all the funds hitherto treated as such in the Bengal Local Funds Budget ; the last clause in the definition of the excluded local funds seeming clearly to cover all the funds so treated by this Government . In the statements appended to the Resolution No 1911 of the 18th March , the estimates of the majority of these funds have, however, also as a matter of fact been incorporated in the Imperial Estimates , though it is still declared that " the receipts and disbursements of those local funds which are appropriated to specially defined purposes , or are quasi - private property and are not at any stage under the direct control of the Local Governments, and do not affect whole provinces will still be excluded from the general estimatos and accounts , and shown in subsidiary statements ." It is added that, " excepting the Port Funds , their amount will be unimportant."
4. This Government had no opportunity of expressing its views as to the manner and extent to which the various ' local funds ' fall within the category of funds suitable for incorporation in the general accounts , and for this year the distribution directed by the Government of India mustbe accepted as it stands . But the Lieutenant-Governor is disposed to think that the Government of India may on further examination of the accounts be convinced that the selection of funds for incorporation has not been altogether in accordance with the principles which it has itself laid down. The local funds which have been incorporated in the general estimates are theso-

(12.) Jugernath Road Fund .
(13. ) Town Improvement Fund.
(14.) The various minor Port Funds .
(15. ) Hospital Port Dues Fund .
Municipal Funds , which , however , represent a very considerable item of taxation , do not anywhere appear in the accounts .
5. The District Road Committee no doubt act in that capacity as a branch of the Government and not in any way as a private body , and as theso Committees are appointed by Government , the Funds may be said perhaps to be under the direct control of Government ; but Government has no power to spond these funds , except through the Local Committees and in the districts in which the money is raised ; but much the same may be said of municipalities , and if it be intended to bring into the ostimates all the moneys raised for public purposes within the province, there would seem to be as good reason for incorporating the Municipal Funds as the District Road Fund. Govern- ment has almost identical powers in respect of either . The District Road Fund has no oporation within municipalities, but together they represent the aggregate of district taxation for strictly local purposes .

6. Further , tho Lieutenant -Governor observes that all the receipts of the incorporated local funds , together with those hitherto classed as Provincial Reserve (and enumerated on the margin ) , are shown , along with the Provincial Public Works Cess , under the heading of " Provincial Rates." Ho fears that this nomenclature may be likely to mislead . The great majority of the funds thus classified are in no sense rates ' or ' taxes, ' and an crroneous impression may be caused as to tho incidence of taxation in Bengal by their being so entered. The Licutonant- Governor can quito understand that it is considered desirable to show in the annual estimates and returns the gross amount of taxation of all kinds- Local , Provincial, and Imperial in British India. In that case the heading of provincial rates ought proporly to comprise everything in the shape of a rate or tax (other than assessed taxes , which are separately shown) and including of course municipal taxation. The other funds including Port Funds and all funds not absolutely Trust Funds) might then be classed under a separate heading as ' Local Funds , or treated as, miscellaneous receipts ; they being all moneys paid into the public treasuries for public purposes , though these purposes may be more or loss local or specific .

While venturing to make these suggestions for the future consideration of the Government of India, the Lieutenant-Governor has , in the revised estimate attached to this Resolution, followed the classification adopted by the Government of India ; but in a foot - note the balances at the disposal of the Local Government for provincial purposes are distinguished from the balances belong- ing to Local Funds , whether incorporated or not . It is of courso understood that in virtue of their incorporation in the public accounts , no change of practice is intended in respect of the management or controlcontrol of any of the fands hitherto treated as local . The District Road Fund, for instance, will continuo under the management of the District Road Committee in accordance with law. The Zemindari Dak Cess will be devoted to its present uses , and be subject to increase or decrease solely on consideration of the requirements of that special fund, and without any reference to the exigencies of the Provincial or Imperial Governments . So in the case of all the other funds, the fund accounts will be maintained as hitherto, and the estimatoes of each will be separately dealt with on existing principles before the figures are incorporated in the 246

general estimatos and accounts . The Lieutenant-Governor has , in fact, already passed orders upon the Local Funds Budget Estimate as in former years , doal- ing with each Local Fund separately in the usual way.
8. In considering therefore the revised estimates appended to this Resolu- tion, it is necessary to remember that the inclusion of the local funds in the accounts does not in any way affect the financial position of the Local Govern- ment ; and in order to the due understanding of the provincial finances as they now are, it will be convenient here to review very briefly the history of the provincial balances (strictly so called) since the first introduction of thof the Pro- vincial Services scheme in April 1871 .
9. The financial year 1871-72 opened with a credit balance of Rs . 5,32,870 under Provincial Services , being a special assignment made by the Imperial Government from the savings of 1870-71 in addition to the fixed annual allot- ment of Rs . 1,23,09,990 . The opening balance of those Local Funds which were constituted into the Provincial Resorvo aggrogated on the 1st April 1871 Rs . 15,12,387. The Local Government therefore commenced its indepen- dent financial carcer with a balance in hand of Rs . 20,45,257, apart altogether from the balances of strictly Local, Municipal , and Trust Funds .
10. The strict economies of Sir George Campbell effected in the year 1871-72 savings aggregating about seventeen lakhs of rupees under the Provincial Service heads , and the year 1872-73 opened with a balance undor those heads of Rs . 22,23,126, while the balance under Provincial Reserve had rison to Rs . 16,12,440 , making a grand provincial balance of Rs . 38,35,566 . For the year 1872-73 very liberal grants were made under Education, Medical . Public Works and other headings ; but the closing balance under Services ' rose to Rs . 35,58,298 . This result is , however, partly to be explained by a special grant from the Supreme Government of Rs. 9,66,677 on account of the Sudder Court buildings, capitalization of Calcutta rents , and Burdwan fever relief. The greater part of this special grant was meant to be reserved for the erection of public offices for the Bengal Government. Under Reserve the balance foll to Rs . 9,80,683 , making the aggregate provincial balance at the opening of 1873-74 Rs. 45,38,981 . In 1873-74 the Local Govern- ment was called upon to face the enormous oxpendituro on relief works caused by the famine in Bengal and Bohar, and the your closed with a deficit of Rs . 19,037 under ' Services , ' while the balance under Reserve had fallen to Rs . 5,14,704 . The net provincial balance at the opening of 1874-75 was thus only Rs . 4,95,667 . During 1874-75 the exponditure upon roliof works continued tobe heavy, but a special grant of Rs . 76,38,139 was received from the Suprome Government , and the year closed with a credit balance of Rs . 23,61,583 under Services, and of Rs . 8,28,465 undor Reserve , the aggregate being Rs. 31,90,048. In the year 1875-76 the final adjustment of the famine account botwoon the Supreme and Local Governments took place. It was estimated that if all charges on account of famine had been excluded from the accounts, the closing balance under ' Services ' in 1873-74 would have boen Rs . 19,21,069 , in 1874-75 Rs . 13,87,787, and in 1875-76 Rs . 12,97,981 . The balance under Provincial Reserve at the end of 1875-76 being Rs. 7,21,464 , that year would, famine apart , have left the Local Government with about 20 lakhs of rupeos in hand . The demand of the Imperial Government on account of that portion of the relief works chargeable to the Provincial Public Works Budgot being fur in excess of this sum, it was arranged that the Bengal Government should surrender to the Imperial Government about 15 lakhs of its estimated crodit balance ; that all outstanding famine charges beyond that amount should be debited to the. Imperial Government ; and that the accounts should be so adjusted as to leave to the Government of Bengal an opening balance of Rs . 5,00,000 on the 1st of April 1876 .
11. It will be seen from the above that , even apart from famine, the service balances were estimated to show an annual falling off in the years following 1873-74, until in the budget of 1876-77 , after excluding famine charges, they would have been estimated at only Rs . 10,70,926. The explanation of this diminution of the balances is to be found entirely in the accounts of expen- diture, for the ordinary receipts remained fairly constant throughout this PART I. ]

12. With the year 1876-77 the provincial finances took a fresh start . The whole opening balance of Rs. 5,00,000 granted by the Supreme Government was credited under Provincial Services, the Reserve Fund opening with nothing to its credit . The accounts now submitted show that the year closed with an actual credit balance of Rs . 8,49,395, divided as follows :-
Rs .
Under Provincial Services

Reserve

13. The opening balance of Provincial Sorvices had thus decreased by Rs . 2,12,735 , and it would in fact have boen entirely absorbed but for extraordinary receipts under Public Works on account of sales of plant and tools for Madras famine relief, and an increase under the receipts from registration fees . The Provincial Reserve Fund , however, closed with a balance of Rs . 5,62,130, making the aggregate balance at the disposal of the Local Government on 1st April 1877 Rs . 8,49,395 as shown above, or Rs. 3,49,395 better than at the beginning of 1876-77.
14. The first estimate of receipts and charges of Provincial Sorvices and Provincial Reserve for 1877-78 was made in February 1877 before the actual opening balances were known, and before the receiptreceipt of the orders of the Government of India transferring to provincial control certain additional revenues and charges . As those orders materially changed the position of the provincial finances , this first estimate may be set aside for the purposes of this resolution. The revenues surrendered and the grants for expenditure entrustod to provincial management and responsibility by the orders of the Supreme Government in March 1877 were as follow for 1877-78 :-

15. That is to say, the various departmental receipts for 1877-78 were transferred to the Government of Bengal for a fixed contribution of Rs . 1,91,07,000, and the charges were transferred with a fixed total assignment of Rs . 1,34,70,000. Amalgamating the previous Imperial assignment with these figures , the result is as follows :-

Amount of Imperial grant
Under these arrangements the Imperial grant would strictly have been Rs . 54,22,000 , but the Government of India deducted Rs . 5,90,000 from the evious Imperial allotment of Rs . 1,10,59,000 as a lump retrenchment or con- tribution from Provincial to Imperial resources , and the net Imperial grant for 1877-78 was fixed at Rs . 48,32,000 .
16. The Government of India further resolved to enforce provincial responsibility for the financial results of railways and irrigation works, and the sum to be paid by the Local Government intinto the Imperial Exchequer on this account was at first fixed at Rs . 27,47,000 for 1877-78 ; but this was subsequently reduced to Rs. 20,00,000 in consideration of the fact that this Government would only be able to collect during 1877-78 a portion of the annual demand of Public Works Cess imposed under Act II ( B.C. ) of 1877 to meet these extra- ordinary charges .
17. A second or revised estimate for 1877-78 was submitted to the Govern- ment of India with this office Resolution No. 1705, dated the 6th June 1877 , in which , however, no provision was made for the contribution to be paid on account of extraordinary Public Works , and no credit was taken for roceipts from the Provincial Public Work Cess . In this estimate it was assumed that , under the ordinary Provincial Services as now constituted, there would be a closing credit balance at the end of 1877-78 of Rs. 11,199 ; but this result was only brought about by taking credit on the receipt side for a sum of Rs . 5,90,000 in excess of the original estimates of stamp receipts , on account of operations under the Land Registration Act No. VII (B.C. ) of 1876. HaHad it not been for this, the estimate would have closed with a debit balance of Rs . 5,53,141 .
18. The year 1877-78 has , however , been prosperous beyond the most sanguino anticipations . The excise revenue has risen all over the country . The receipts fromcom stamps have been very considerable, owing to the land regis- tration operations and to the general briskness of trade arising from the Madras famine. The registration receipts and marine receipts have also grown. On the other hand, the Lieutenant-Governor feeling that the prospects of the year were at the outset doubtful, reduced all expenditure as much as possible, postponing many necessary and important works, until he was in aposition to know that he could proceed with them safely .
REGULAR ESTIMATE, 1877-78 .
19. A revised or regular estimate of all receipts and charges for 1877-78 , based on actuals for eight, and in some cases for ton months, is given in column eight, 3 of the appendix. In this revised estimate a now major head has been opened on the Receipt side for " PROVINCIAL RATES, " under which have been entered the estimated receipts from the Provincial Public Works Coss , togother with the balances on the 31st March 1878 of the Provincial Reserve Funds, and the balances of those Local Funds which the Government of India hus, as above explained, resolved to incorporate in the Public Accounts, the whole aggregating Rs. 53,88,000. It is estimated that the receipts from the Provincial PublicWorks Cess during 1877-78 will not be more than Rs . 18,50,000. The balance to credit ofProvincial Reserve ( abolished) is expected to be Rs . 13,62,000 ; and the balance 249 PART 1. ]
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE , APRIL 3 , 1878 .
of Local Funds incorporated is taken at Rs . 21,76,000. This last sum, however, it will be remembered, is not in fact at the disposal of the Local Government for provincial purposes .
20. Under the head of " SALT " the old balance of the Salt Reward Fund (Rs . 59,000) is credited, the Lioutenant-Governor having determined that this neod no longer be maintained as a separate fund , but may form a sub -head under the major head of SALT.
21. Two new headings have been opened , " CANALS " and " STATE RAILWAYS," to show the gross receipts from those works , for the maintenance and interest charges of which the local Government has become responsible.
22. On the EXPENDITURE side of the statement under " INTEREST ON DEBT " is shown Rs. 20,00,000, the sum which the Government of India has agreed to accept from this Government for 1877-78 on account of interest on the capital expenditure for Canals and State Railways after crediting net traffic receipts . The sum payable under the Government of India's orders No. 1801 of 26th March 1877 was about 271 lakhs of rupees . In consideration , however, of the fact that the Public Works Cess onlyonly came into force in June last, the Government of India, as already explained, reduced the demand for 1877-78 to 20 lakhs . The collections of the cess during 1877-78 are expected to be only 18 lakhs , but the difference between this sum and the demand of the Supreme Government can be mot from the general Provincial balance, which will recoup itself in the following year . 23. The only charge entered under " PROVINCIAL RATES " is one of Rs . 10,000 for the cost of collecting the Public Works Cess .
24. Under " CANALS " and " STATE RAILWAYS , " the expenses of main- tenance of these works is shown in gross.
25. Throughout these revised estimates for 1877-78 , the Lieutenant- Governor has accepted the figures adopted by the Financial Department of the Government of India for the purposes of the Imperial estimates , in preferenco to the figures originally furnished by the Accountant-General for the Provincial estimates, as the Government of India had in several instances actual figures for ten months before it, instead of for six or eight months, which were all that wore available when the local Government prepared its estimates .
26 Including the transferred balance of Provincial Reserve ( Rs. 13,62,000 ) , but excluding Local Fund balances , the year 1877-78 is estimated to close with a credit balance at the disposal of the local Government amounting to Rs . 28,54,000 : and as the balances of the Local Funds amount to Rs . 21,76,000, the gross balance, including incorporated local funds, is estimated to be Rs . 50,30,000 .
ESTIMATE , 1878-79 .
27. It is now necessary to examine and explain the estimate for 1878-79 . Each of the ordinary servico heads has been dealt with by the Lieutenant-Governor in a separate resolution , and it is only intended here to recapitulate such of the mamain facts as throw light upon the estimate as a whole. The figures accepted in the separato resolutions of this Government are those entered in the statement hereto appended , any slight modification made for Imperial purposes in the Financial Department of the . Supremo Government being, undor instructions from that Department, disregarded.
28. The receipts under LAND REVENUE are estimated at Rs . 86,000, against Rs . 87,000, the rovised estimate for the current year . They show a considerable increase over the receipts of 1876-77 in consequence of tho operations under the Land Registration Act .
29. The receipts from Excise aro estimated at Rs. 69,00,000 , against Rs . 68,60,000 , the revised estimate for 1877-78 . If the year 1878-79 is fairly prosperous, there is no reason to doubt that this figure will easily be reached. It may very possibly be exceeded. The Local Government and the Board of Rovenue are at present devoting much attention to the improvement of the excise system in these provinces. There is strong reason to believe that there has been a large consumption of illicit liquor is some districts, and that the revenue has been systematically defrauded, and in some instances locally mismanaged. It is the object of Government to enhance the rovenue in a legitimate way by substituting licit for illicit consumption, while by raising the 250

duties on drugs it discourages the growing use of those deleterious articles that have a tendency to take the place of the more wholesome weak spirit of the country wherever the procuring of this is made exceptionally difficult.
30. The receipts under the License Tax Act shown under ASSESSED TAXES the Government has no present means of estimating accurately . The estimate adopted is in the main a conjectural one, though based to some extent upon the recorded results of the License Tax of 1867 and the Certificate Tax of 1868. It is assumed that the receipts under the Act may amount to Rs . 23,50,000 , and a similar sum , less Rs . 2,35,000 on account of cost of collection, is shown as expenditure on FAMINE INSURANCE on the other side of the estimate . The figures of the License Tax.do not affect in any way the ultimate provincial balances.
31. Under PROVINCIAL RATES is entered a sum of Rs . 34,50,000 , the estimated receipts from the Public Works Coss in 1878-79 ; Rs . 16,32,000 , receipts from funds formerly classified as reserve ; and Rs . 36,84,000, the income ofthe incorporated " Local Funds, " the whole together aggregating Rs . 87,66,000 .
32. The receipts and charges undor CUSTOMS, so far as these are provincial , call for no special remark. The Local Government receives certain small items of revenue, and a further grant to enable it to meet the chargos of the establishments of the various custom houses in the province .
33. The provincial receipts from SALT consist only of warehouse rents and a few minor items of fees and fincs made over by the Government of India in March 1877. The Lieutenant -Governor has now , as already stated, added to these the receipts of the Salt Reward Fund which were hitherto entered in the Local Funds Budget . Those will amount to Rs . 8,300 in 1878-79 .
34. The receipts under STAMPS have been estimated at Rs. 1,01,50,000, against Rs 1,07,50,000, the revised estimate for 1877-78. Under this head, taken together with LAW AND JUSTICE, the Imperial Government expects a normal growth of revenue of two and three -quarter lakhs per annum for the next four years . The receipts of the current year have from exceptional causes been largely in excess of the amount which this Government was bound to make good to the Government of India in 1877-78, viz . Rs . 98,50,000 . But it is the opinion of the Board of Revenue and of the local officers that the receipts of 1878-79 under Stamps are not likely to exceed Rs . 97,34,000 , while the sum this Govern- ment has to make good to the Government of India is Rs. 1,01,00,000. The Lieutenant-Governor was disposed to think that the local estimatos might safely be somewhat raised, and in consideration of the general prosperity of the country and the promising state of the winter crops ,s, and in the expectation that the Stamp Bill at present before the legislature would shortly become law, he raised the estimate to Rs. 1,01,50,000. It is now, however , certain that the Stamp Bill will not pass into law before next cold season, and it is therefore doubtful how far the anticipations of this Government maybe roalized . The demand of the Supreme Government for two and threo-quarter lakhs of rupees annual increment in the receipts under ' Stamps ' and Law and Justice ' is likely to prove a serious charge upon the general resources of the Local Government for the next few years. The share of the increment expected from ' Law and Justice ' was Rs . 25,000. It has not been found possible to estimate for this in 1878-79, and the receipts are only taken to be Rs . 8,000 better than those of 1877-78 .
35. Under the orders of the Government of India for amalgamating the Provincial with the Imperial financial accounts, the receipts and charges of ' Jails ' and Registration ' fall now undor LAW AND JUSTICE . For convenience of comparison, however , they may here be separately referred to.
36. Under Jails the receipts have been estimated at Rs. 7,34,000 , against the revised estimate for 1877-78 of Rs . 8,30,000 , and the expenditure has been estimated at Rs. 15,55,000 , against Rs . 16,28,000 . Both the Accountant- General and the Inspector -General of Jails, in estimating the receipts and charges under this head in preceding years, took into account the paper transac- tions of the Department - on the receipt side the value of clothing and other jail supplies , and on the debit side the charges under various heads on account of supplies not purchased in the local market, but received from jails. As , how- ever, the object of an estimate is to enable Government to know its cash liabi- lities , the figures for paper transactions have been eliminated from the estimate 251 PART I. ]
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE , APRIL 8, 1878 .
for 1878-79 . Compared with figures of previous years , the estimated expenditure under Jails shows a decrease in 1878-79 . But the Lieutenant-Governor has made a grant of Rs .Rs . 2,30,000 underader Public Works for jail buildings , which in several districts are still in a very disreputable state.
37. The receipts under Registration have been estimated at Rs. 8,00,000, against Rs . 7,00,000 for 1877-78 . The new table of foes under the Registra- tionAct is expected to raise the receipts by about 25 per cent. , and the steady and regular expansion of registration is not likely to be checked, save by some serious and general calamity. The expenditure of the department has been at the same time reduced by a careful revision of establishments and regula- tion of their rate of payment .
38. The gross revenue under LAW AND JUSTICE is estimated at Rs . 22,67,000 . This estimate is perhaps rather sanguine with reference to the results of the present year's working as seen in the revised estimate for 1877-78 .
39. The receipts under MARINE have been estimated at Rs . 10,87,000, against the grant made by the Government of India under this head of Rs . 10,84,000 . The revised estimates for 1877-78 show receipts amounting to Rs. 14,76,000 during the current year, which are attributable to the great development of the trade in grain during the pressure of the late famine , and the consequent remarkable influx of vessels to the port ; but the Lieutenant- Gover- nor did not feel justified in anticipating a recurrence of these exceptional circumstances in 1878-79 .
Rs . 5,25,000 in 1877-78 : It may be noted that, since the inauguration ofthe 40. The receipts under EDUCATION are estimated at Rs. 5,29,000 , against scheme of Provincial finance, the receipts under this head have greatly increased , thus-

As educational receipts consist chiefly of college and school fees , the fact of their steady increase is particularly satisfactory .
41. Under the hoad. of MISCELLANEOUS are included receipts from sale of old stores , unclaimed deposits, medical, printing , and various other sources . The gross receipts are estimated for 1978-79 at Rs. 10,66,000, against Rs . 10,69,000 in 1877-78 .
42. The receipts under Medical aro estimated at Rs . 1,44,000 , against Rs . 1,59,000 in 1877-78 . There is a slight decrease in the estimated receipts of the coming year, attributable chiefly to the substitution of the cheap cinchona febrifuge for quinine in sales to the public , &c . In both 1876-77 and 1877-78 the great influx of shipping into the Port of Calcutta gave an abnormal development to the fees from paying patients in Government hospitals and asylums, which is not likely to recur next year The goneral question of enforcing payment from well-to-do patients in Government hospitals is now under consideration . 43. The receipts from Printing are estimated at Rs . 52,000 ; and from unclaimed deposits at Rs . 6,00,000 .
44. PUBLIC WORKS receipts are estimated by that Department at Rs . 61,000 .
45. The gross receipts of the Sone and Orissa Canals ( CANALS) are estimated at Rs . 9,67,000 for next year , showing a large and satisfactory advance attributable to the readiness with which landowners and others are now coming forward to take the water .
46. From STATE RAILWAYS an income is expected of Rs. 16,18,000 : which may probably be larger if the rolling stock of the Northern Bengal Railway is increased .
47. On the EXPENDITURE side of the estimates , the first heading is that of INTEREST, representing the gross interest charge for the year upon the capital expended on reproductive works, for which the Provincial Government is responsiblo. This is taken to be Rs . 31,99,000. The actual amount which the local Government has to make good is the gross interest less the not traffic 252

receipts , and will amount in 1878-79 to about Rs . 24,15,000. This will be met from the Public Works Cess collections , the balance of which will then be available for other works of improvements within the Province. The charge entered under FAMINE INSURANCE represents , as above explained, the estimated net proceeds of the License Tax . The cost of collecting this tax , estimated at Rs . 2,35,000 , is entered under heading VII , ASSESSED TAXES . The cost of establishment for collecting the Public Works Cess, Rs. 50,000, is shown under VIII , PROVINCIAL RATES .
48. The estimated grant for REFUNDS AND DRAWBACKS, undor Provincial Services was Rs . 5,23,000. To this has now been added Rs . 34,000 on account of funds lately held as Reserve, and Rs . 1,000 for incorporated Local Funds , making a total provision of Rs . 5,58,000.
49. The expenditure under LAND REVENUE is taken at Rs . 25,31,000, including a grant of Rs . 1,40,000 recently made by the Government of India on account of the management of Government estates transferred to pro- vincial control . The local estimates , as passed by the Board for the manage- ment of these estates, amount to Rs . 1,46,200 , but the Lieutenant- Governor wi only admit the provision of Rs . 1,40,000 . The other exponditure under this head consists mainly of salaries of permanent establishments , and remains on the whole tolerably constant, with, however, a strong tendency to increase, which it has been necessary very firmly to resist . 50. The expenditure under ExCISE and CUSTOMS is normal and calls for no special remark.
51. Under SALT the estimate of expenditure has been raised to Rs. 60,000 , against Rs . 40,000 for 1877-78 . This increase is rendered necessary by the cost of the preventive establishment at Pooreo (about Rs . 13,000) which is under recent orders of the Government of India to be borne by the Govern- ment instead of by the manufacturers as heretofore. An application was made to the Government of India to increase the provincial assignment to the extent of the extra charge thus thrown on the Local Government , but His Excellency the Governor- General in Council has decided that this shall be postponed until it is certain what the actual charge is likely in future to be . Meantime the Provincial Government will defray the cost , looking to the Supreme Government to, indemnify it hereafter . The chargos of the Salt Reward Fund have also for the first time been shown under this head and have helped to swell the figures of expenditure .
52. The expenditure of the Jails and Registration Departments included under the major head of Law and JUSTICE has been noticed above. The expenditure under ADMINISTRATION and LAW AND JUSTICE proper , consists mainly of salaries and payments to fixed establishments which are not susceptible of reduction, but rather, as in the case of land revenue charges ,' show a constant tendency to increase. The Lieutenant-Governor has it in contemplation to invite the Iligh Court to assist in a general scrutiny and revision of ministerial judicial establishments, which may possibly effect some savings. But there can be no doubt that the Government must be prepared very shortly to meet a large increase in the number of Moonsifs, as well as the cost of the system of appellate benches , now under reference to the Secretary of State. The Lieutenant-Governor hopes , however, that some part at least of the increased cost of Moonsifs may be met by a revision and re-arrangement of grades in the Subordinate Judicial Service.
53. Under MINOR DEPARTMENTS are entered Rs. 1,85,000 on account of expenditure on the establishments of funds formerly under reserve, and Rs. 5,78,000 on account of the establishments of incorporated local funds . This accounts for the apparent large increase under this head , which now aggregates Rs. 10,19,000 .
54. The expenditure on account of POLICE has been estimated at Rs . 39,08,000, against Rs . 41,00,000, for 1877-78 . The Inspector Gencral of Police is now engaged on a detailed examination of the Police allotments of all the districts inBengal, in view to extensive reductions, which are believed to be both possible and desirable . Already reductions aggregating Rs . 32,000 have been made in the case of Orissa, and it is expected that the retrenchments throughout Bengal will aggregate not less than Rs . 1,75,000. These reductions willnot in any way impair the real efficiency of the force, being based upon 253 PART I. ]
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, APRIL 3 , 1878 .
a more careful adaptation of the Police arrangements to local requirements and on certain improvements of system , as to which there is a general agreement among the most experienced District and Police officers .
55. Under EDUCATION the provincial expenditure has been estimated at Rs . 25,72,000 , against Rs . 24,32,000 , the revised estimate for 1877-78, and Rs. 24,47,958, the actual expenditure of 1876-77. Provision has been made in the estimates for the introduction of the graded scheme of teachers' salaries , and for the maintenance and gradual extension of the Government Art Gallery. To the above figure for 1878-79 has to be added Rs . 23,000 expenditure debited to the Estates Improvement Fund, making the total grant under this head Rs. 25,95,000 .
56. The provincial MEDICAL expenditure is estimated at Rs . 12,07,000, against Rs . 13,35,000 for 1877-78. There has been a large and serious increase in this class of expenditure sinceace 1871-72 , into the causes of which the Lieutenant- Governor has ordered close and detailed enquiry. The grant for the ensuing year is reduced , in the expectation that the Committee now investigating the subject will secure very shortly savings in hospital and dispensary outlay. At the same time, the reductions made have been for the present very moderate in amount, to prevent any risk from a too summary change of system . A sum of Rs . 4,000 debitable to local funds has been added to the provincial estimate which shows a total of Rs . 12,11,000.
57. The expenditure under PRINTING has been estimated at Rs . 1,85,000 , against Rs . 2,58,000 for 1877-78 . The large decrease is due to radical changes made in the organization of the Printing Department , which are expected to result in savings to the extent of one lakh of rupees . In future, all heavy printing work will be executed at the Presidency Jail , which is being converted into a large Government Printing and Binding Establish- ment. At the Secretariat Press only the current printing work of the office will be carried on . To the above a sum of Rs . 2,000 has to bo added on account of reserve funds work .
58. The grant for STATIONERY received from the Government of India was Rs . 4,98,000 , reduced to Rs . 4,48,000 . The estimated charge in 1878-79 is Rs. 5,15,000, but measures are under consideration for reducing the outlay undor this head .
59. Under ' MISCELLANEOUS' has been included a sum of Rs. 2,000 , debitable to funds formerly in Reserve , and Rs . 83,000, charges of incorporated Local Funds. The total grant is thus raised to Rs . 3,79,000, but there is no real increase of charge to Government .
60. The largest head of expenditure is the PUBLIC WORKS ordinary, the total grant for which in 1878-79 is Rs. 85,99,000 , thus made up-

61. The grant originally made to the Public Works Department for 1878-79, on which its detailed Provincial estimates were to be prepared, was Rs . 24,90,000 only . When , however, the revised estimates of 1877-78 showed that the financial position of the province was a safe and flourishing one, and in view of the favourablo estimate of the receipts for 1878-79 , the Lieutenant- Governor decided to make a large addition to the Public Works expenditure , and to carry out various important and useful schemes that had been left in abeyance for want of funds.
62. On the inauguration of the scheme of Provincial Finance in 1871-72, the. grant made by the Government of India for Provincial Public Works was about 26 lakhs of rupees . In the first year of the Provincial scheme Sir G. Campbell allowed the Public Works Department to expend only a little more 254
[PART I. THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE , APRIL 3 , 1878 .
than this grant ; but in the next year ( 1872-73 ) , as he had by saving elsewhere secured a large surplus, large special grants were given for roads.and commu- nications and the general improvement of the province ; and the expendi- ture rose to nearly 35 laklıs. October 1873 came the first alarm of scarcity, and during the next two years that is up to the end of 1874-75-the resources of the Provincial Public Works Department were devoted almost ontirely to relief works in the distrossed districts . When the famine was over, local Government found its balances, as already explained, completely oxhausted. In April 1876, the Lieutenant- Governor (Sir Richard Temple) expressed his conviction that there was no probability that the annual grant for Provincial Public Works could for some years to come exceod 25 lakhs of rupees. In accordance with this principle, the grants for Provincial Public Works for 1876-77 , 1877-78 , and 1878-79 were fixed .
63. The Lieutenant-Govornor has now, however , decided upon taking in hand and pushing on as rapidly as possible the following important Public Works, making grants from Sorvice Funds to the extent specified against each:-
Grant. Rs.
3,50,000 Concentration of the Government Offices in Writers' Buildings, (post- poned in 1875-76)
Improvements in the Medical College Hospital (estimated at 6 lakhs of rupees, half of which will be found by the Government of India)
2,60,000 Public Works Practical Training Institution
2,30,000 JailBuildings
2,10,000 Court-houses at Durbhunga and Motiharee
1,50,000 Assam Emigration Road
1,50,000 Other Provincial roads and minor works
50,000 Improving navigable channels between Balasore and Pooree
Total
17,00,000
A further sum of Rs . 3,00,000 will be made available for other similar works to be selected hereafter. The sum of Rs . 9,14,000 will be spent on account ofworks hitherto debited to the Provincial Reserve Funds . Of this Rs . 7,73,000 are to be devoted to improving, enlarging, and locking the Calcutta Canals. Again, in accordance with the orders of this Government, No. 890 , dated 6th March, a sum of Rs. 80,000 has to be provided on account of preliminary outlay on Railway Surveys . This will be charged eventually to the capital cost of the lines if sanctioned; meantime it is given from Provincial Funds . The ordinary expenditure of the incorporated Local Funds upon Public Works is, as shown above, Rs 29,15,000. But besides this , the Lieutenant-Governor has made a further grant of Rs . 2,00,000 towards completing the Assam Emigra- tion Road. This is in addition to grants aggregating Rs .Rs . 1,10,000 made this year for similar purposes . The total sum that Government has made available for this Road and the rest-houses thereupon is Rs . 4,60,000 this year and next . 64. The grants for the working expenses of CANALS and STATE RAILWAYS are Rs . 6,74,000 and Rs . 11,27,000 respectively . 65.

66. The Lieutenant-Governor is of opinion that the Bengal Government should ordinarily maintain a credit balance under provincial funds of not less than 20 lakhs of rupees to enable it to meet the vicissitudos of bad years, without being driven to put a sudden and disastrous stop to all works of 255 PART 1. ]
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, APRIL 3 , 1878 .
improvement . Doubtless, when widespread and serious calamity comes upon the province,' local resources at their best will not suffice to meet it, and every- thingmust be sacrificed to the exigency of the moment . But the local Govern- ment should in normal years be in a sufficiently strong position to contemplate without dismay any mere temporary fluctuations in its excise and stamp revenue arising from bad crops and the like, and on the other hand it should be able to undertake from time to time works of more than common magni- tude with the cortainty of being able to complete them without curtailing its ordinary expenditure. Upon these principles the estimates for 1878-79 have beenframed. If there seems during the year to be any prospect of a larger balance accumulating than it seems necessary to maintain, special arrangements will be made for putting in hand further works, which have already been decided upon.
ORDERED, that a copy of this Resolution and of the appended statement be submitted to the Government of India, Financial Department, and that a copy be forwarded to the Accountant-General and to the Public Works Department of this Government for information.

[PART I.
CIVIL .
No. 14, dated the 16th March 1878 .
The accompanying copy of instructions issued to the Judge of Hooghly regarding the position ofRevenue Agents practising as pleaders under Act IV of 1876 , is circulated for the information and guidance of all Munsifs in districts in the Lower Provinces of Bengal, where Act VIII (B.C. ) of 1869 is in force.
From J. CRAWFURD, Esq. , Officiating Registrar of the High Court of Judicature at Fort William in Bengal, to the Judge ofHooghly , No. 680 , dated Calcutta , the 16th March 1878 . In reply to your letter No. 219, dated the 14th ultimo , I am directed to say that it is not necessary that Revenue Agents acting in rent suits in the Civil Courts should be enrolled. under Section 12, Act XX of 1865. All that is necessary is , that the Civil Courts should satisfy themselves that the Revenue Agents hold certificates in force at the time they come in to practise as pleaders under Act IV of 1876.
2. The position of these Revenue Agents in the Civil Courts , I am to point out , is not that of Pleaders . The latter are enrolled in the Courts in which they practise , and are liable to punishment by the High Court in case of misconduct. Revenue Agents on the other hand are not so enrolled , and are subject , in case of misconduct , to the orders of the Board of Revenue . There can therefore, in the opinion of the Court , be no hardship in requiring the latter, when they act in the Civil Courts , to prove their authority to represent the person for whom they act , and this should be done in every case .
CRIMINAL .
No. 2, dated the 23rd March 1878 .
Inconvenience having resulted from delay in the submission, for the Court's orders, by Sessious Judges , of cases in which they have disagreed with the verdict of the jury , enquiry was made as to the cause to which the delay was due , and it has been reported that the records had been detained in the Sessions Judge's Court in order that copies might be made ofthe proceedings for the use of the Government pleader. The Court is therefore pleased to direct that after the delivery of the verdict by the jury in such cases , no delay should be permitted to occur in the submission of the records with the Sessions Judge's letter of reference. It is open to the Government pleader and to the pleader for the accused to, make notes of the evidence as the case proceeds . If after the trial is concluded copies of any part of the proceedings are required, it will be necessary that they should be made on application in the High Court after receipt of the record.
No. 3, dated the 23rd March 1878 .
The attention of all Sessions Judges is called to the instructions , extracted below, contained in paragraph 4 of the Court's Circular Order No. 7. dated 11th March 1870, which should invariably be followed in the preparation of Sessions Statement No. III : -
"Adverting to column 4, Statement No. 3 ......... , the Court observe that there is a diversityofpractice in numbering the accused, some officers giving fresh numbers to the prisoners in each case , while others continue the series throughout the year. The Court direct that one series of numbers should be employed for each session . "
No. 4, dated the 30th March 1878 .
In paragraph 2 of Circular Order No. 6, dated 2nd July 1869, it is directed that an Appellate Court shall , in every case, except as otherwise provided in that Circular Order, certify its decision to the Court or Magistrate from whose decision the appeal has been preferred. T remove doubts which have been raised as to the intension of this order, the Court is pleased to explain that what is required is , that the Appellate Court should at once communicate the decision arrived at to the Court which has to carry out its order . A copy of the formal order passed , and of the judgment on appeal , should , however , always be attached by the Appellate Court to the record of the original Court , and returned to it therewith.
No. 5 , dated the 30th March 1878 .
Sessions Judges are requested to ascertain and report whether the form of Veruscular Statement No. 9 , prescribed by paragraph 7 of Circular Order No. 11 , dated 1st December 1854, of the late Sudder Court , is still in use in any of the Courts in their districts .

UNDER Section 89 of Act X ( B.C. ) of 1871 , the following annual accounts and reports of the road Cess Committees of Cuttack , Poorce , and Balasore , of works done and in pro- gress during the past cess year 1876-77 , together with the remarks thereon of the Commissioner of the Orissa Division, are published for general information.
J. E. T. NICOLLS , MAJOR -GENERAL , RE . , Secretary to the Government of Bengal , in the Public Works Department .
No. 372, dated Cuttack , the 8th December 1877.
From-H . S. BEADON, Esq. , Collector and Chairman, Road Cess Committee, To The Commissioner of the Orissa Division .
I HAVE the honor to submit the annual report of the Road Cess Department for the year ending the 30th September 1877 .
2. Under the provisions of Section 88 the accounts for the year have been audited hy the Sub - Committee appointed for that purpose, and have been considered by the District Committee and passed upon the Sub - Committee's report. That report calls for no special consideration, except on the subject of the ferry stock , regarding which I have addressed you separately from the magisterial side of my office. Shortly , I may mention that the claim as a whole has not met with my approval or that of the District Committee ; but special, reference has been made regarding the Judpore ferry , which is a newly established ferry, and at which the Committee lately posted a boat, the cost of which should not properly he debited against the District Road Cess Committee.
3. The balance on the 1st October 1876 was Rs . 8,175-7-8 , and the receipts during the year from the collections Rs . 40,878-6-8 , and from other sources Rs . 2,513-6-10, giving a total revenue for the year of Rs . 51,567-5-2.
4. The expenditure has been Rs . 44,256-8-6 , and the net balance on the last day of the year Rs . 7,310-12-8 .
Of the sum expended , Rs . 5,397-6-2 represents the cost of collecting establishments , Rs . 21,768-14-11 repairs , Rs . 9,170-0-1 original works, and Rs . 7,920-3-4 road establishment and plant.
5. The income was greater than that of the previous year, for the reason of the decrease from the previous year recorded by the Chairman last year, viz . " because we had been realizing our cess in advance, and the Board having ruled in their No. 189A . , dated 20th August 1875, that the cess was payable in arrears , only one of the two yearly instalments was collected " during last year .
6. The Road Cess Committee meetings were not numerously attended , but I can safely say that the non -official members who came thoroughly discussed every subject which was laid before them . At Kendrapara it will be observed that two- thirds of the members on the average attended , at Cuttack upwards of one - third , and at Jajpore about one - seventh . In Jajpore there were 15 defaulters , who have never attended, out of a Committee consisting of 22 , and as seven is the quorum required , it is clear that to have a meeting all the others must attend . This desirable result has never yet been accomplished. The sub-division was for nine months of the year in charge of Baboo Atool Chunder Chatterjee , and doubtless matters there will now improve . I attribute the good attendance at Kendrapara to the facts that the members are residents of the town of Kendrapara, and that there were only two meetings . Under late orders of Government the branch Committee list has been revised, but only those have been entered who were on the Committee during the year. At head- quarters four out of the five gentlemen who never attended have been lately omitted in the revised list sent up to Government, as two are no longer residents of this district , and two others live too far from the sudder station and as a fact never come to Cuttack. I have found great assistance from the non- official members of the Committee both from their advice and their readiness to take charge of any small village road work within their estates or their neighbourhood. The Executive Engineer attended two of the meetings in the course of the year.
7. SUB- DIVISIONAL REPORTS . Kendrapara village roads . The works in Kendrapara were all petty , being chiefly earthwork and turfing, with two wooden temporary bridges. One of these, costing Rs . 15 , was swept away by the heavy floods of the Chitratola . The works executed are entered in statement A accompanying . Though more than Rs. 50 have been expended on some of them, the fact is the road which goes by one name passes several villages running from one to the other. The total expended was Rs . 547-14.
384
[PART. I. THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE , MAY 8, 1878 .
8. Jajpore. The village road works in Jajpore were repaired during the year at an out- lay of Rs . 550 as per statement B. , all petty works , with here and there a small wooden bridge, not exceeding Rs . 80. But the floods of the 13th July last washed away portions of work done in previous years on some of these roads. The roads that seem to have been permanently benefited are one at Rambag , eight small roads in the Dharmasala thana, and two small bridges costing Rs . 35 and Rs. 15.
9. Sudder Sub - division -The village road work in the sudder sub-division consisted of repairs to five village roads at a cost of Rs . 411-5 , as per statement C, carthwork repairs , and the crection of a wooden bridge on the Sujang road, in Jagatsingpore thana , at a cost of Rs . 59. Baboo Gopal Prosad Mitter, one of the members of the Committee , proposed and superintended the construction of two village roads in Jagatsingpore thana. The reason for the small expenditure is that the sudder sub -division depends largely for its communica- tions on canal and river way , and the embankments are the chief, and in many places the only, mode of communication .
10. Village roads under the District Engineer. There were three such roads . I find that the Chairman, for whom I am officiating , did not approve of spending much money on village roads, and considered the sum of Rs . 2,000 was as much as should be devoted to this purpose. The total expenditure for the year was Rs. 1,509-3 .
11. Original works . During the year the road cess and municipal office was com- menced, but it was delayed partly on account of the non - receipt of sanction to the estimates , and partly because rains came down unexpectedly early and destroyed the bricks before they were burnt, thus limiting the tale. Sanction was received in July, and the work is now being pushed on . The total cost willbe Rs . 4,229, of which the municipality has agreed to pay Rs. 1,000 for its share of the accommodation .
12. Three small masonry culverts were built on the Chandbally road for Rs . 354-14-4 , and one of four feet span for Rs . 242-15-6.
13. There were three timber bridges raised-two on the Kendrapara to Jajpore road, and one on the Chandbally road. The last three are not yet complete, but are passable for traffic. They cost Rs . 2,105-11-9.
14. Repairs . On the Chandbally road Rs . 5,182-3-0 were expended . This was entailed by surface dressing throughout twice over . It is a very difficult road to keep in order . Apart from the liability to complete inundation, from which it suffers nearly every year in some portions of it , much of the road is only clay and much only saud . The first part suffers greatly during the raius , and the latter part throughout the rest of the year . Repairs are attempted by spreading clay upon the sandy parts and sand upon the olay. The latter process is easy and answers ; the former excessively difficult to carry out , and of doubtful success when finished . The last nine miles of the road towards Chandbally were not touched in the year under report, but full provision extending to upwards of Rs . 16,000 has been provided for this road for the coming year . There is an offshoot at the 16th mile of this road leading to Mohanga . This road has been put in thorough repairs for Rs . 600 and is in good order, excepting at the points where it crosses the distributaries of the Kendrapara canal and their branches .
15. The Kendrapara loop road also was repaired during the year . This road is now within the limits of the municipality of Kendrapara and ceases to be borne on the district roads . The staging bungalow at Kendrapara and the other bungalows of the Chandbally road were repaired and finished .
16. The roadfrom Judpore to Pattamundi was not repaired . The Irrigation Depart- ment has driven the canal across the road which emerges again on the same side , but the Executive Engineer has promised to rectify it by making a substitute along the berm of the canal till the communication is again completed . The repairs of the road generally willbe taken in hand this year as soon as that is effected .
17. Nor has anything been done to the Kendrapara and Marsaghai road. I think there is probability of this road being abandoned . Marsaghai is usefully connected with Kendrapara only because it is the end of the canal , but the road crosses some of the lowest land in the district , and expensive bridges and culverts are necessary upon it, if it is to be made good all the year round . Enquiry is now being made as to whether direct communica- tion cannot be made along a high ridge covered with villages to impinge on that canal at some point to the east of Marsaghai and nearer to Jamboo . It is thought by the Deputy Magistrate and the District Engineer that such a route may be found ; and , if so, the matter of abandoning the present road will be taken up and considered .
18. Upon the Taldanda road considerable repairs have been carried out , amounting in all to Rs . 6,189-7-11 . It is reported to me as being in thoroughly good order, the hunga- lows, bridges, and causeways having been repaired throughout.
19. Rs . 1,538-3-5 was expended on the Machgan road , and the District Engineer reports that the earthwork and bridges have been executed satisfactorily; but the cause- ways were not so well done, and consequently one of them was carried away during the high flood of the Katjuri this year .
20. The Madhab road is a road running in and out of the Pooree and Cuttack districts for 41 miles, 18 being in Pooree and 26 in Cuttack . The road is not very useful for this 385 PART I. ]
THE CALOUTTA GAZETTE, MAY 8 , 1878.
district, but it is thought to be of great advantage to Poorce. It was some time ago agreed that the repairs should be carried out by the Cuttack Committee , and that Pooree should bearths of the cost The cost has , however, fallen on this district wholly for the last three years ; and when the bill for repairs was sent to the Pooree Committee, it was desired by that Committee that this practice might cease for the future, as the Poorce Committeehas now its own Engineer . The matter is, however, under consideration again, as it is impossible to carry out the repairs of some portions of the road , endeavouring to limit operations to the particular district . During the year under report Rs. 878-5-0 has been expended on this road.
21. The road from Jagats one timber bridge on the 5th in re to Jaipore has been put in order also , except that verydilapidated state.
22. The Jobra road and thoroughly. hapore road have also been repaired , the latter 23. On the Kendrapara to Jajpore road Rs . 2,872-5-2 were expended, but to no pur- pose. " The high floods ," Mr. Serres writes , " that we had this year have undone all the works ; the whole of the breaches have been re- opened, the road has been cut up worse even than it was before, the temporary wooden bridges areges are damaged, and one of them , No. 7 at the 10th mile, carried away entirely."
24. A similar tale of woe comes from the other roads of the Jajpore sub- division, and indeed this must be the case until the waters of the Brahmini , Kharsua , and Byturnce are entirely brought into subjection by the embankment department . No amount of money that the Road Cess Department can ever afford to spend on these roads would enable them to stand against the violence of the higher floods of these rivers , and the only possible plan to adopt is to make overroads with a view to the water passing over them as completely and easily as possible . Rs. 865-5-0 were expended on the Baruan to Judpore road . In order to enable it to staud the flood , the breaches were re- filled and heavy berme made on either sides . All the breaches were again forced except one .
25. A most important road runs from Kuakhia to Jajpore , the direct communication from Cuttack Rs . 1,166-8-2 were expended in its repairs, but it is now in complete ruin as a road. To put that road in really good repair and to re -erect the bridges and causeways that have been swept away would cost nearly a year's income . We can only hope to keep it up as a fair-weather road . In one place a breach 885 feet has been made in the road, and this will give some idea of the enormous flood of water that rushes over the country inthose parts.
26. Tree-planting. I find Rs 2,000 were allotted in the budget for this purpose. The trees on the Chandbally and Taldanda roads have been maintained , and a double line of treeshas been planted from the Jobra road to the Taldanda loop road . A tope of trees has been planted at the 2 mile of the Taldanda road . The young trees on the road are flourishing , but the same success does not attend the cultivation on the Chandbally road . The land for the first three miles is very sandy, and , while the trees will not grow, their protective works fall down . Efforts are , however , still being made , and it is hoped will eventually succeed . The sub- divisional officers of Kendrapara and Jajpore also carry on some arboriculture at the sub -divisional head - quarters . 27. The following are the works proposed for the ensuing year :-
(1 ) . Increasing the slopes of the road from 2 to 1 to 3 to 1 from the 55th to 654 miles of the Chandbally road .
(2). Constructing four new timber bridges with masonry abutments for 58th , 59th , and 60th miles of the Chandbally road . (3) . Constructing masonry abutments to the timber bridges on 40th , 43rd , aud 641 miles of the Chandbally road .
(4) . Constructing nine culverts for Ch ( 5) . Constructing a timber bridge with masonry abutments at the 5th mile of the (5). Constructing Chandbally road.
Jagatsingpore to Jaipore road . (6) . Constructing a road from Ersama to Taldanda road .
(7) . Re-constructing the broken bridge on the 9th mile of the Kuakhia to Jajpore road. (8) . Construction of a pucca inspection bungalow at 6-4th mile of the Chandbally road.
(9 ) . Constructing a halting place at the end of the Chandbally road, 66th mile .
( 10) . Constructing landing stages at the ghat or ferries .
( 11 ) . Repairs of Golara Hat road .
(12) . The construction of a road cess office (remaining portion) .
(18) . Ordinary repairs and construction of village roads wherever they may prove tobe required. (14) . Planting trees on district roads as far as funds will permit .
( 15) . Ordinary maintenance and repairs to district roads , including bridges and cause- ways .
28. I am desired by the Committee to express their extreme satisfaction at the manner in which Mr. Serres has conducted the duties of District Engineer. He is an active, pains- taking, upright young officer His previous experience under Messrs . Stoney & Co. hus givenhim a knowledge of the rates of work and cost of materials in the district which is valuable , and for all practical purposes he is quite as good an Engineer as the Committee cau 386

hope to get . He was confirmed by Government as District Engineer, but the powers of an Overscer only were accorded to him unless he passed an examination. In the course of the year Government directed his removal , and against this both the Committee and Mr. Beames have remonstrated. No further orders have been received , and it is earnestly hoped that no change will be forced upon us . Of his subordinates Mr. Serres speaks well , except Mr. DeSouza and Peter Manuel. I have in the course of the year had on several occasions to reprimand them for idleness, malingering , and disobedience ; and they both now staud warned that the severest notice will be taken of any future shortcoming on their part .
29. The road cess head clerk continues to deserve the praise awarded to him by Mr. Beames last year .
30. The office of Chairman has undergone several changes during the year as indicated

(V) The difference in the detail of the establishment under the District Road Com- mittee is attributable to the reduced scale of establishment made in accordance with paragraph 11 of Government No. 335 , dated 16th April 1877 , received under Commis- sioner's No. 15RC , dated 27th April 1877 (vide paragraph 5 of the Committee's proceedings dated 10th May 1877, submitted to the Commissioner with this office No. 43, dated 14th May 1877. ) For the said reduction in the scale of establishment the actual expenditure has fallen below what was originally allotted.
(W) Rs . 200 was originally allotted to this head, and Rs 395-8-0 was received by transter from reserve ( vide Committee's proceedings dated 26th June and Commis- sioner's No. 92 of 5th July 1877 ) .
Special Note .
CERTAIN Original works amounting to Rs . 3,973-12-1 were charged in the last quarterly return under the head of repairs, but subsequently rectified in this annual return.

6. The road from Atharnala to sea-beach was partly repaired during the year. The repair of this road was transferred to the Road Cess Department in April last. The work was taken up immediately on its transfer, and a sum of Rs. 2,927 was spent in repairing and metalling a portionportion of the road, ie. , from the sea-beach to the police line. The other portion of the road has been taken up from the commencement of the year 1877-78 , and willbe shortly completed . The amount spent for each road is set forth above. All the roads in the district have received their due share of attention, and the earthwork, metalling, bridges , culverts , and causeways are at present in a fair state of repair.
7. Original works . A sum of Rs . 990-6-11 was spent on the construction of the new road and culverts . A sum of Rs . 4.000 was allotted for improving and bridging the Bhoba- nesar road, but the late District Engineer submitted the estimate of the road too late, and the work could not be taken up, and a sum of Rs . 3,527 from this head was transferred to the repair of the road from Atharnala to sea-beach . The details of the original works are given below :-

8. It will be seen that in the budget of the year 1876-77 a sum of Rs . 16,322 and Rs 5,400 was sanctioned for original and repair works respectively, but Rs. 3,527 (a part of Rs. 4,000 sanctioned for the Bhobanesar road ) , and Rs . 5,222 allotted for the village roads under the head of original works having been transferred to the head of repair works under the Commissioner's letters Nos . 64RC , and 101 of 5th June 1877 and 17th July 1877 respectively , the net expenditure under the repairs , as per figures given in the annual account, amounted to Rs. 11,282-6-3 .
9. The expenditure of the Committee under the several heads shown in the annual account has been kept down to the sums allotted for them , except the maintenance of the village roads under block thana Banpore, which has exceeded the estimates by Rs. 145. A sum of Rs . 515 was assigned for the village roads under that thana, but the Chairman of the Branch Committee spent Rs . 660. The excess sum of Rs. 145 was charged to the total amount allotted to the village roads of all the other thanas under which there was a considerable saving , as shown in the annual account .
10 District Committee . There were 12 meetings of the District Committee during the year under review, but in one of the meetings there was no quorum : thus 11 meetings were convened. Almost all the members attended the mectings except the undermentioned five who absented themselves altogether :-

[PART I.
The working of the District Committee and the attendance of the members were satisfactory .
11. Branch Committee at Khoordah . During the year under report three meetings were convened by the Branch Committee , and the percentage of attendance to whole Com- mittee was 58.8. The working of the Branch Committee was on the whole satisfactory.
12. Work establishment .- Baboo somesh Chandra Ghose, late District Engineer , resigned his services in April last, and was succeeded by Mr. H. Beek. Mr. Beek has given satisfaction . The Sub -Overseer, T. Rajgopal Moodeliar, has done very well.
13. Office establishment . The head clerk , Baboo Nadia Chand Dutt, has deserved the thanks of the Committee for his punctuality and close attention to business . The rest of the office establishment have given no cause of complaint .
14. I give below the list of the works proposed by the Committee to be carried out during the year 1877-78, viz.-
Rs.
4,030 Repairing the first portion of the road from Atharnala to sea-beach
Repairs to the inspection huts situated on the Bagmari and Bolgar
109 road
Repairs to the inspection bungalows situated on Khoordah and

Retief Works .
6,541 Repairing Balugan and Banpore road
5,606 Constructing a road from Barabcoody to Korang

15. The people are by no means inappreciative of the objects and advantages of the cess. They came forward with the utmost alacrity to represent their wants , which were readily attended to.
16. The rate of the cess has now been raised to the maximum , and is double that assessed previously . This was effected without exciting any discontent or opposition .

Explanatory note to accompany the annual account of 1876-77 .
(a) The income on land for the year 1876-77 was estimated at Rs . 13,004 . It fell short of the cstimated amount, because the cess in this district was being realized in advance ; but the Government notification , dated 24th July 1875 , altering the dates of payments of the cess being brought into force in this district in the year under review ( vide paragraph 2 of the Board's Resolution dated 27th March 1877 ) only one of the two yearly instalments of the revenue -paying estates was collected during the year : hence the decrease.
(6) Under miscellaneous receipts Rs . 150 was estimated for ; but the receipts under that head amounted to Rs . 49-14-0 , as the fees of the inspection bungalow at Khoordah fell short of the last year's receipts .
(c) Rs . 198 estimated for in the budget and a sum of Rs . 115 was transferred to this head under Commissioner's No. 82R.C. of 21st June 1877 .

6. The expenditure on village roads has been much larger than shown in the table, which only exhibits expenditure regularly accounted for before the close of the year . Grants entrusted to private persons for expenditure under this head are much appreciated and are generally spent to the utmost possible advantage ; but the accounts of village road expenditure cannot be obtained with the same punctuality as those furnished by salaried officers.
6. Full details of the work done having been accurately shown in the above table, I refrain from discussing each operation in detail . It will be sufficient to state generally that I believe that available funds have been utilised to the fullest possible extent . There is scarcely a road in the district which has not been materially improved during the past year, whether by earthwork , metalling, or bridging.
7. The long and straggling configuration of this district renders it a very much more expensive undertaking to provide fully for its wants in the way of roads than is the case in more compact districts . Moreover, the Road Fund is extremely poor, the total valuation of theland for road cess purposes having only amounted to Rs . 10,48,651 , and the house cess yielding next to nothing. Already the district roads cover the very considerable mileage of 277 miles; and to prevent this mileage extending to an inordinate length, it is necessary to tohear in mind, and to adhere as rigidly as possible to, the principle that the Orissa trunk road, which bisects the district throughout its entire length , should be treated as the prin. cipal line of communication , with the district roads joined to it on both sides as feeders . Accordingly, unless very special circumstances require a deviation from this rule, I align all new roads , whether leading from the sub - mountainous tracts on the west or from the litto- ral tracts on the east , so as to join the trunk road as nearly at right angles as possible . When the district scheme of roads is completed it will somewhat resemble a skeleton , the trunk road representing the spine and the district roads the ribs .
8. In addition to works paid for from road cess funds, the Phulwar and Kalma road , noticed in the previous year's report, has been completed. This is a road designed to con- neot the important Mohurbhunj territory and its capital , Baripada, with the Orissa trunk road near Balasore . The work has been paid for by the Maharajah of Mohurbhunj , who very liberally placed Rs. 7,000 in my hands for the purpose . It presented features of special difficulty , as it was necessary to provide for the escape of a large portion of the flood spill oftheBaraballangBaraballang river. This objectver. This object has been very successfully successfully accomplished under the able supervision of Mr. Vertannes , Executive Engineer , Balasore Survey Division . Causeways were coustructed , aggregating over a mile in length , and a weir was built over the Nizampur nullah which serves as a bridge and viaduct , and also allows the flood water to pass over it without injury. 9.

11. It will be seen from the above that meetings of the Committee were regular and that the attendance of the members has been fair on the whole .
12. The working of the Committee continues to be attended with as great a degree of success as could reasonably be expected. The rates aro voted cheerfully ; no obstruction is offered to the prompt and regular disposal of business . The unofficial members take pleasure in attending and in listening to what is going on ; they occasionallydo a little work in the way of auditing accounts , and when they are acquainted with a locality under discussion thev express their opinions with tolerable freeness; although it must be admitted that in most coses their acquaintance with the geography and circumstances of the district is very limited. The fact that native gentlemen usually know little of the country beyond the immediate vicinity of their homes is no doubt mainly due to climatic influences , aud cannot be remedied .
12. What it is proposed to do during the road cess year 1877-78 is as follows : land
will be acquired for the construction of three new roads ; it will be demarcated in a durable
manner, and the earthwork uccessary for raising the roads in certain parts will be executed
so far as funds will permit. The names of these roads and the allotments to each are shown
by the following table:-

Baliapal road. The people of Singla have long been in urgent want of this road , and they
even raised a voluntary subscription to defray its cost.
The Uttareshwar to Gopinathpore road is designed to traverse killah Taldanda and
killah Mangalpore, and to connect a large sub -mountainous tract on the western side of the
district, including the above killahs and killah Patna, with the trunk road at Soro .
The Jamjhari and Basudebpore road will run in a south - easterly direction from Jamjhari
on the trunk road to the police station of Basudebpore . This road is much required for the
purpose of connecting with the trunk road the posts of Churamun and Lachanpore , the
large villages adjacent to Basudebpore, and the salt - manufacturing tract along the east coast .

No. 275 R.C., dated Cuttack , the 28th December 1877.
From- T . E. RAVENSHAW, ESq . , Commissioner of the Orissa Division , To-The Secretary to the Government of Bengal , Public Works Dept.
I HAVE the honor to submit in original , for publication in the Calcutta Gazette under section 89 of the Road Cess Act , the annual reports and accounts of the District Road Fund of the several districts of this division for cess year 1876-77 duly examined and passed by the Road Cess Committee , and to report on the works of local improvement as follows .
2. The total receipts of the year for the whole division, including the opening balance on 1st October 1876 , amounted to Rs . 99,488-10-2, and the total expenditure Rs . 84,910-2-5 , leaving abalance of Rs . 14,573-7-9 unexpended at the close of the year.

5. If from the receipts of 1875-76 the grants - in-aid, Rs . 12,000, be deducted, it will be observed that receipts have increased from Rs. 70,674 in 1875-76 to Rs . 99,484 iu 1876-77 ; and the expenditure from Rs . 57,798 to Rs. 84,910. In Pooree district the Cess Committee expended nearly double of the amount utilized during 1875-76. 6. In Cuttack district the undermentioned works were carried out :-
Original works .
Cuttack Road Cess and Municipal Office . Sanction of Government was received in July 1877, and the work is in a forward state . The total cost is estimated at Rs . 4,229 , of which the municipality has agreed to pay Rs . 1,000 for its share of the accommodation .
Three small masonry cuiverts were built for Rs . 354-14-4 on the Chandbally road, and one of four feet span for Rs . 242-15-6 . Two timber bridges were raised on the road Kendrapara to Jajpore, and one on the Chandbally road, at a cost of Rs . 2,105-11-9.
Repairs.
(1.) Chandbully road.-Rs. 5,182-3-0 were expended in surface repair . It is a most difficult road to keep in order . Apart from its liability to complete inundation, the country THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, MAY 8, 1878.

[PART I.
over which the road runs is alternately alluvial loam and sand , difficult to keep in repair . The last 9 miles of this road towards Chandbally were not touched in the year under report, but full provision , extending to upwards of Rs . 16,000, has been made for this road for the coming year .
(2.) The bungalows on this road were thoroughly repaired .
(3.) Necessary repairs were executed to the Kendrapara loop road and to the staging bungalow at Kendrapara .
(4.) TaldanToldanda road.- Considerable repairs were carried out on this road at a cost of Rs . 6,189-7-11 . Bridges , causeways , and bungalows are all in thoroughly good order.
(5.) Кв . 1,538-8 5 were expended on the Machgaon road . One of the causeways was not repaired in a satisfactory manner and has since been carried away by flood .
(6) On the Madhab road Rs. 378-5 were expended in repairs.
(7.) The road from Jagatsingpore to Jaipore was put in order, except the timber bridge on the 5th mile, which is in a most dilapidated state and requires re- construction.
(8) Needful repairs were done to the Jobra road and Pithapore road . (9.) The important roads ( 1 ) Kendrapara to Jajpore, ( 2) Jajpore to Kuakhia , (8) Baruan to Judpore, were also repaired at a cost of Rs . 2,872-5-2 , Rs 166-8-2 , and Rs . 865-5 res- pectively; but they have been again seriously damagedby floods of the Brahmini , Khursua , and Byturnee rivers , and much of the earthwork carried away and the roads breached in many places.
(10.) The subjoined extract from the district report will give an idea of the extent of the injury inflicted to the roads in general in the sub -divisions of Jajpore and Kendrapara by the high floods of the Brahmini , Byturnee , and Khursus this year: On the Kendra- para to Jajpore road Rs. 2,872 were expended, but to no purpose . The high floods that wehad this year has undone all the works : the whole of the breaches have been re -opened, the road has been cut up worse even than it was before, the temporary wooden bridges are damaged, and one of them , No. 7 at the 10th mile , carried away entirely .
"A similar state of woe comes from the other roads of the Jajpore sub -division, and indeed this must be the case until the waters of the Brahmini , Khursua, and Byturnee are entirely brought into subjection by the embankment department . No amount of money that the Road Cess Department can ever afford to spend on these roads would enable them to stand against the violence of the higher floods of these rivers , and the only possible plan to adopt is to make over -roads with a view to the water passing over them as completely and easily as possible . Rs . 865-5 were expended on the Baruan to Judpore road . In order to enable it to stand the flood , the breaches were re - filled and heavy berms made on either sides . All the breaches were again forced except one . A most important road ruus from Kuakhia to Jajpore , the direct communication from Cuttack . Rs . 1,166-8-2 were expended in its repairs , but it is now in complete ruin as a road . To put the road in really good repair and to re - erect the bridges and causeways that have been swept away would cost nearly a year's income. We can only hope to keep it up as fair- weather road. In one place a breach , 335 feet, has been made in the road , and this will give some idca of the enormous flood of water that rushes over the country in those parts ."

Rs. 1,509-3 were expended on village roads in Kendrapara, Jajpore, and Cuttack sub- divisions , vide detailed statements A, B, and C, appended to the district report , viz ,-

TreesPlanting.
The trees on the Chandbally and Taldanda roads were maintained , and a double line of trees was planted from the Jobra road to the Taldanda loop road . A tope of trees has also been planted at the 2 miles of the Taldanda road .
7. The Cuttack Committee propose to undertake the following works in the ensuing year:- 1st .- Increasing the slopes of the road from 2 to 1 to 3 to 1 from the 58th to 654 miles of the Chandbally road . 2nd. Constructing four new timber bridges with masonry abutments on the 58th, 59th, and 60th miles of thethe Chandbally road.
Srd. Constructing masonry abutments to the timber bridges on 40th , 43rd , and 64 miles of the Chaudbally road .
4th.-Constructing nine culverts for Chandbally road . 5th.- Constructing a timber bridge with masonry abutments at the 5th mile of the Jagatsingpore to Jaipore road . 6th.- Constructing a road from Ersama to Taldanda road .
7th.-Re-constructing the broken bridge on the 9th mile of the Kuakhia to Jajpore road.
417 PART I. ]
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, MAY 8 , 1878.
8th.-Construction of a pucca inspection bungalow at 64th mile of the Chandbally road.
9th .-Constructing a halting place at 66th mile of the Chandbally road.
10th . Constructing landing stages at the ghats or ferries .
11th . Repairs of Golarahat road .
12th . Construction of the Road Cess Offico (remaining portion) .
13th. Ordinary repairs and construction of village roads wherever necessary .
14th .- Planting trees along district roads as far as funds will permit .
15th. Ordinary maintenance and repairs to district roads , including bridges and causeways .
8. Appendix A shows the number of the road cess meetings held during the year, attendance of the official and non- official members , and other particulars . It will be seen that the meetings were never so numerously attended as could be wished . At Kendrapara about two- thirds of the members on the average attended, at Cuttack upwards of one- third , and at Jajpore about one - seventh . The Collector and Chair- man reports that the non -official members who attended the meetings thoroughly dis- cussed every subject which was laid before them , and that he has derived great assistance from the non- official members of the Committee, both from their advice and their readiness to undertake charge of any small village road work within their estate or their neighbourhood. Sevenmeetings were held at Cuttack, four at Jajpore and two at Kendrapara. The Execu- tive Engineer is reported to have attended only two of the meetings in the course of the year .
9. Cuttack working establishment stands in need of revision . Under the orders of Government recently communicated to the Committee the post of District Engineer must be considered to be vacant. The officer now employed ( Mr. Serres) can only be allowed tocontinue in the post until a properly qualified and competent man can be found. I regret the necessity of removing Mr. Serres , as , though he may not be up to the required professional standard , he is an activé, intelligent, and reliable man, practically good and useful . Two of the lower subordinates are also reported to be indolent and disobedient , and stand warned to be removed on any future shortcomings on their part .

Regarding village roads , the Collector reports thus :-
"The expenditure on village roads have been much larger than shown in the table, which only exhibits expenditure regularly accounted for before the close of the year. Grants entrusted to private persons for expenditure under this head are much appreciated and are generally spent to the utmost possible advantage, but the accounts of village roads expenditure cannot be obtained with the same punctuality as those furnished by salaried officers ."
20. In addition to the works executed from the road cess funds , the Shulwar and Kalma road, for which Rs . 7,000 were paid by the Maharajah of Mohurbhunj , as was noticed in paragraph 14 of last year's report , has been completed . This is a road designed to connect the important Mohurbhunj territory and its capital , Barpada, with the Orissa trunk road near Balasore .
The prosecution of this work was a matter of special difficulty , as it was necessary to provide for the escape of a large portion of the flood spill of Burraballang river ; but the work has been successfully accomplished under the able supervision of Mr. Vertannes, Executive Engineer, Balasore Survey Division . Causeways aggregating over a mile in length have been constructed, and a weir has been built over the Nizampore nullah , which serves as a bridge and viaduct , and also allows the flood water to pass over it without injury. The whole cost of this road has been defrayed by the Maharajah of Mohurbhunj , andthe result is very creditable to the Maharajah's public spirit and liberality .
21. The following works are proposed to be done during the road cess year 1877-78 : - Land will be acquired for the construction of three new roads . It will be demarcated in a durable manner , and the earthwork necessary for raising the roads will be executed as far as funds will permit . The names of the roads and the allotments to each are shown below :-

The Singla branch road is designed to connect the Singla market ( one of the most important in the district) , the Singla police outpost, salt warehouse, and village with the Busta and Baliapal rond . The Uttereshwar to GopinathporGopinathpore road is designed to traverse killah Talmunda and killah Mungulpore , and to connect a large sub- mountainous tract on the western side of the Balasore district , including the above killahs and killah Patna with the trunk road at Soroh . The Jamjhari and Basudebpore road will run in a south- casterly direc- tion from Jamjhari on the trunk road to the police station of Basudebpore. This road is much required for the purpose of connecting with the trunk road the posts of Chooramun and Lachanpore, the large villages adjacent to Basudebpore, and the salt-manufacturing tracts along the east coast .

23. The principle on which new roads are aligned in the Balasore district is thus describedby the Collector:-" The long and straggling configuration of this district renders it a very much more expensive undertaking to provide fully for its wants in the way of roads than is the case in more compact districts . Already the district roads cover the very considerable mileage of 277 miles , and to prevent this mileage extending to an inordinate length it is necessary to bear in mind , and to adhere as rigidly as possible to, the principle that the Orissa trunk road, which bisects the district throughout its entire length , should be treated as the principal line of communication, and with the district roads joined to it on both sides as feeders . Accordingly , unless very special circumstances require a deviation from this rule, I align all the new roads , whether leading from the sub - mountainous tracts on the west or from the littoral tracts on the east, so as to join the trunk road as nearly at right angles as possible . When the district scheme of roads is complete it will somewhat resemble a skeleton , the trunk road representing the spine and the district roads the ribs. "
24. The Road Cess Committee held 12 meetings during the year, and the attendance of the members was on the whole fair. The Collector writes on the subject thus :-
"The working of the Committee continues to be attended with as great a degree of success as could reasonably be expected . The rates are voted cheerfully ; no obstruction is offered to the prompt and regular disposal of business . The non - official members take pleasure in attending and listening to what is going on ; they occasionally do a little work in theway of auditing accounts; and when they are acquainted with a locality under discussion they express their opinions with tolerable freeness.""
25. Generally speaking, the funds of each district have been judiciouslydistributed and economically expended on works of real benefit to the country .

I HAVE the honor to submit the following report on the operations of the Road Cess Committee of this district , together with a detailed account of their receipts and expenditure during the road cess year 1876-77 .
The Committee consisted of the following six official and ten non - official members . Six meetings were held during the year, and the number of meetings attended by each member is noted against his name :-

An abstract of the attendance in the prescribed form is appended.
3. Of the members who , as shown by the above list, did not attend any meetings , Mr. Macalpine was compelled to re - visit England through ill -health early in the year and has since died there ; and Mr. Campbell , though absent from meetings , gave the Committee valuable assistance in connexion with repairs of the roads . The other three members , Baboo R. C. Rai , Mobaruk Ali Chowdhury and Abdullah Khan, evinced no interest in the work either during the year under report or during the previous year . It would be a gain to the Committee tohave their names removed from the list , and their places supplied by abler and more enlightened gentlemen .
4. The estimated and actual receipts of the year contrasted stand thus :-

(2) Miscellaneous cesses
(3) Ferry tolls

[PART 1.
5. It is, therefore , seen that the actual income has fallen short of the estimated by Rs. 2,490 ; the reasons for the larger differences are as follow :-
6. As regards fines. The results of the preceding year were an uncertain guide to the probable income under this head. Very little was realized then , partly through the difficulties attending their recovery , and partly on account of the non- perception at first of the importance of compelling the landholders to send in returns of their estates . During the year under report much attention was paid to the matter , and the law was actively put in force. Hence it was impossible to estimate with any degree of certainty from the receipts of the previous year the probable receipts of the year ; and to this must be added the difficulty of forecasting to what extent the people would disregard the requisitions of the law.
7. Miscellaneous cesses. The difference under this head is due to the distress prevalent throughout the district after the late cyclone ; many of the zemindars have not paid in their cesses along with Government revenue .
8. Ferry tolls. The same cause has been productive of poor results in this direction too . Rs. 1,271 were paid in during the previous year on account of the year under report ; hence the amount to be realized during the latter year was Rs . 7,461 . Of this Rs. 6,262 were realized, and there remained a balance of Rs . 1,199. The farmers of three ferries were unable to hold on by reason of the late distress ; and on the re -salo of the farms Rs . 476 were lost . At the close of the year, therefore, there were Rs . 723 arrears , out of which Rs . 650 have been recovered since.
9. Canal tolls. Rs. 714 of the estimated receipts were paid in during the previous year. Of the amount for realization (Rs . 6,426) , Rs. 4,519 were paid in, and Rs . 620 were lost on the re-sale of the farm of a canal , for the same cause as has diminished the receipts under the last preceding head , and Rs . 1,287 remained in arrear at the close of the year. Rs. 1,019 were paid in advance for the year 1877-78 ; and this together with the above sum , Rs. 4,519, constitutes the income under this head, Rs. 5,538.
10. Miscellaneous receipts . The realizations were Rs. 1,226. Rs. 400 were refunded to Shaikh Abdul Malum, being the sum he had advanced to the Committee as part of the cost of a road which they undertook to construct . As they were unable to redeem their promise for an indefinite period , they refunded the money to him . Rs . 10 were repaid as fines improperly levied. Rs . 1,000 were due from ' Government on account of khas mehals, buthave not yet been paid by the Collector, the Board's sanction to the disbursement not having been yet given . It will, therefore, be seen that the total receipts under this head are Rs. 2,226 . 11. The only source from which the actual has exceeded the estimated income is that
offines: the former being nearly six times the latter. This increase has considerably com- pensated for the falling off in the receipts from other sources . 12. The following table shows the estimated and actual expenditure of the year :-

13. As regards road cess establishment , the estimated figures given in the above list are much larger than those entered in the budget originally drawn up for the year. For in November 1876 , the Board viewing with dissatisfaction the slow progress of the preliminary work under the Act, a slow progress, however, altogether unavoidable owing to the unique character of the land tenure of the district, insisted on its completion by September 1877, and for that purpose sanctioned an establishment four times as large as that entertained from the beginning . This staff was employed till the end of September last , some reductions, however, having been carried out before.
14. The sum of Rs. 1,000 was provided in the budget for original works, but the whole was not expended, the Board having enjoined the stoppage of all outlay on roads so as to devote the money destined therefor to the payment in part of the large establishment employed in preluninary work .
15. Sums were allotted for maintenance and repairs of roads in the first budget, but little or nothing was laid out after the Board's prohibition mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The cyclone and storm -wave that visited the district on 1st November 1877 wrought great havoc and damage to all means of communication, and their dilapidated condition was much increased during the rainy season. At that time most of the bridges were destroyed or were falling to pieces , and the roads were generally impassable. After many representations of the state of the district , sanction was granted to the outlay of Rs . 4,771 for the purpose of rendering the chief lines of road temporarily passable, although the Committee were heavily involved in debt. Repairs were at once pushed on with vigour, and works to the value of Rs . 2,450 were executed before the closo of the year . The whole of 439 PART I. ]
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE , MAY 15 , 1878.
the works contemplated were in hand , and have now been finished , but the bills have not been submitted yet .
16. The increase in the cost of the ferry establishment is owing to the payment of the Kumaria ferry establishment for five months of the preceding year , and extra repairs required for the boats of the same ferry on account of the damage inflicted by the cyclone wave.
17. The Committee's financial condition hence stands thus at the close of the year under report :-

18. The road works of all kinds do not call for particular mention . All that the Committee have been enabled to do is that broken bridges have been replaced by slight temporary bamboo bridges , damaged bridges have been rendered passable by the simplest possible expedients, and the earthworks have been filled in and levelled when broken into or cut up . The roads that have been so repaired are the following:-Ramghar , Arracan, Halisbahar, Tipperah Pass, Chandpore ,dpore, Sakerapole , Fenoah , Cox's Bazar, Hill Tracts and Moheshkhali Strand Roads , and the Moheshkhali and Boalkhali towing paths . 19. There is no Sub - Committee at Cox's Bazar. The Sudder Committee manages the whole district .

[PART I.
Government on account of there being no quorum at the meeting in which the estimates were passed. This meeting was well attended ; there being a quorum , the revised budget was passed and submitted to Government . At this meeting the Committee also approved the temporary appointments of the District Engineer Mr. E. M. DeSilva, on probation for two months, and Assistant Overseer Mr. D. E. Ferrault and the officers under the Committee and under the District Engineer for one year . The establishments attached to both the departments were provisionally approved, subject to test as to their fitness to hold the appointments permanently.

6. After ascertaining from the Executive Engineer that about Rs . 1,500 will be expended per mensem on ensem onPublic Works Department repairs in this district, and after considere ing the cost of the sub -divisional Public Works Department establishestablishment for such work, and the staff that would be required and the quantity of clerical work as well as of overseers' work and other expenses in the present state of uncertainty as to requirements and liabilities, it was settled that the work can be undertaken at a cost of 50 per cent , on the expenditure of any sum not in excess of Rs . 1,500 a year, and that as the expenditure rises above that sum the rate per cent . may be reduced proportionately until it falls to Rs . 80 per cent . , which rate the Committee in their present state of information consider the minimum rate ; but as an experi- mental measure the Committee were willing to make an attempt at what the Government in the Public Works Department may consider a fair rate, and if it result in loss to the Com- mittee, the Government in the Public Works Department should adjust the loss and re-arrange the commission on a practicable footing , or relieve the Committee of the responsibility.
7. The Committee in this sitting also approved of the District Engineer Mr. E. M. DeSilva being appointed on probation for one year from March 1877 , during which his prac- tical efficiency would be tested , in accordance with sections 20 and 21 of Government Resolu- tion No. 1209 of 1875. The Committee further approved of the services of the officers of the District Engineer and Committees' establishments on probation for the same period, and also those of Mr. Ferrault as Assistant Overseer .

9. The cost of establishments under the Committee being considered high , a revised budget for 1877-78 was laid before the Committee curtailing the establishments to some considerable extent , which was approved and passed .
10. With reference to Bengal Government's letter No. 1323E. , dated 1st August 1877, the appointments of Messrs. E. M. DeSilva and D. E. Ferrault, probationary District Engineer and Assistant Overseer , were considered, and a recommendation sent to Government for the sanction of their probationary appointments with this office No. 202R.C.C. , dated 27th Septem- ber 1877 .
11. There were only two sittings of the members of the Committee during the year in which there was no quorum ; all the other sittings were fairly attended.
12. The members residing at a distance in the interior appeared to be unable to attend meetings at head - quarters ; accordingly a recommendation was made for the appointment of' certain gentlemen residing in or about the station of Noakholly to be members of the Com- mittee. On some occasions when meetings had been called , most urgent matters had to be deferred owing to there being no quorum to transact business as required by section 59 of the Road Cess Act .
13. The following works were executed during the year under report :- Chittagong road, from Dhumehur bridge to Robertgunge, 22 miles in length.- 336,600 cubic feet earthwork and eight miles petty earthwork , and only surface dressing eight miles . Robertgunge road, from Robertgunge to Jarwargunge, five miles in length . Four miles petty earthwork, surface dressing, jungle clearing , and partial turfing.
Dewangunge road, from Chittagong road , junction at Sundalpore, to Dewangunge, 22 miles in length .- 1,158,555 cubic feet earthwork and 56,880 square feet surface dressing .

Chittoshee road, 12 miles in length.-480,140 cubic feet earthwork and nine miles surface dressing and jungle clearing .
Petty repairs have also been done to the Raipore road to a distance of seven miles .
14. A portion of the earthwork on the Dewangunge, Begumgunge , Chittoshee and Ramgunge roads could not be done on account of the unusual rain of the season, and because of the work having commenced late owing to the cyclone and inundation of 31st October 1876 .
15. As to the remaining roads entered in the statement of roads prepared under sections 66 and 68 of the Road Cess Act , some had been long abandoned and left unrepaired since the close of the Government cloth and salt manufacturing trade. They with the other roads will be repaired where necessary during the current year.
16. Estimates are being prepared for making the Sundeep and Hattiah roads regular cart- traffic roads this year . Only Rs . 25 has been expended for repairing the cart road at Sundeep, in the immediate vicinity of the Moonsiff's Court at Sundeep .
BRIDGES .
17. Rs . 4,000 was estimated for thorough repair with masonry work of the Dhum- chur bridge, but the timber work only has been completed at a cost of Rs . 1,436-11-8 , as there appeared to be no necessity for the repair of the masonry work this year . Bamboo spurs have beenput at a cost of Rs . 20 for the protection of the abutments of the bridge .
18. Rs . 1,500 was estimated for the repairs of the Chaprassi khal bridge ; but the work was entirely abandoned as the bridge gave way in the middle during the cyclone of 31st October 1876 , and afterwards the west side went down on account of the strong current of the khal , and, moreover, the question as to the proper site of the bridge has been revived.
TheExecutiveEngineer of the Chittagong Division has given his opinion for the removal of the bridge from its present site to a place north of it. Requirements which were first met by a temporary embankment are now being temporarily met by a bamboo bridge. 19. The Chairakhally road bridge has been repaired at a cost of Rs . 197-3-2 ; masonry work to the extent of 896 cubic feet has been executed on this bridge .
20. The Taktakhally road bridge repair cost Rs. 290-14-0. The following works were executed on it :-masonry work 432 cubic feet , jungly woodwork 17 feet 6 inches , and planking 207 feet.
21. Two timber- top bridgos were repaired on the Chittagong road during the year, and some petty repairs were also done to some of the timber- top bridges on the Luckhipore road andBegumgunge road. The works executed on the Chittagong road bridges are as follow :- woodwork 32 feet 1 inch ; planking 420-9 square feet ; iron nails one maund.
22. The timber work of the six timber- top bridges on the Laksham road has been completed, and a very little of the masonry work is remaining to be done . Rs . 800-8-0 has been expended on the above work .
23. Ninety- seven temporary bamboo bridges were put on the several district , dâk and police station roads . Of these , the bridge on the Chaprassi khal and that at Pearapore on the Luckhipore road are the largest . Some of the existing bridges were repaired . Instead of temporary bamboo bridges , sundari - wood bridges may hereafter be constructed . They would probably be more lasting, as well as cheaper on that account than bamboo bridges, and would be more convenient for the public, and save some trouble to the Road Cess Department . Timber can be easily procured from the Chittagong and Backergunge Districts.
24. 72,719 cubic feet and 1,62,950 square feet of metal works were executed on the Suddar Station road . Earthwork was also done on the Sudder Station cutcha roads to the extent of 1,99,362 cubic feet . RIVER AND CANAL WORKS ,
25. No river and canal works were undertaken during the year , except sloping the Shahebghatta canal and taking a preliminary sarvey and soundings of the Atteabari canal for deepening it .
26. An embankment or bandh was constructed across the Chaprassi khal (just after the cyclone and salt water inundation of 31st October 1876 had broken down the large bridge ) , in order to keep communication open . It secured fresh water in the khal inland for the 446

[PART I.
benefit of the neighbourhood after the tanks had been spoilt by the salt inundation . The earthwork executed on this was 102,100 cubic feet , and the amount expended Rs . 373-5-7. This was a very useful work as it kept the khal fresh in the interior and also provided a cross- ing for traffic, the long wooden bridge having been broken down by the cyclone and inunda- tion.
27. The following works are proposed to be carried out during the current cess year as detailed below . They have been brought before and sanctioned by the Committee :-

REPAIRS TO CULVERTS AND BRIDGES .
1. Repairs to four timber - top culverts on Chittagong road . 2. Repairs to Chaprassi khal bridge damaged by last cyclone .
3. Repairs to 14 culverts and two bridges on Dewangunge road . 4. Repairs to three masonry bridges on the Bhowanigunge road .
5. Repairs to 11 culverts on the Bhowanigunge road.
6. Repairs to two culverts on the Taktakhally road.
28. The rules in force regarding the execution of district works are so strict that it is hardly possible for the District Committee to carry out work in time when required . It appears under paragraphs 28 and 38 of Government Resolution No. 1209 , dated 8th March 1875, that almost all the estimates are to be submitted to your office , and that a great many will have to go before Government for sanotion . If these rules are to be strictly observed, work will be much impeded , especially in this district, as the whole of it is more or loss flooded country .
29. Difficulties will sometimesbe experienced if works are carried out in strict accord- ance with the list submitted to Government under sections 06 and 68 of the Road Cess Act . As every requirement of the district does not come to light when the budget- estimates are PART 1.]
447
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, MAY 15 , 1878 .
submitted , a considerable amount of money is put down under the head of reserve for unfore- seen works, and the district officers are sometimes obliged to undertake work which is not entered in the list when found to be urgently required for people's convenience . It, therefore , seems desirable that there should be some alteration in the rules .
30. During the last year applications have been very numerous for digging canals in the low levels of this district, ostensibly to improve inland waterway, but really for the purpose of drainage and for agricultural improvement, by thus securing more control over the water inthoseparts.
81. The cyclone and inundation of the 31st of October 1876 caused very great injury to the roads and bridges of the district , especially throughout the south of the district .
REMARKS ON OFFICERS .
32. Mr. E. M. DeSilva, probationary District Engineer , has attended regularly to requirements , and has worked hard to give satisfaction. The Committee have been favourably impressed with his work.
Mr. W. Andrews, District Overseer, has a thorough knowledge of every part of the district and people, has much experience in road work and tact in managing labourers. He has worked hard and discharged his duties satisfactorily.

EXPLANATION .
There will appear a difference of Rs . 565-8-6 under the head of "Contingencies " and " Tools and Plant" when compared with the quarterly stateinents . This was owing to the amount having been paid to the Municipal Chairman , Noakholly, for the purchase of an iron- roller belonging to the Municipal Committee and charged under the head of " Contingencies " in the quarterly return, but now transferred under the head of " Tools and Plant ."

From-E . H. RUDDOCK, ESQ ., Offg . Deputy Commissioner of the Chittagong Hill Tracts , To The Commissioner of the Chittagong Division.
I HAVE the honor to forward the annual report of the Chittagong Hill Tracts District Road Fund for the year 1876-77 , commencing from 1st October 1876 and closing with 30th September 1877 . 2. The abstract account of income and expenditure for that period stands as follows :--

3. The advances of previous years outstanding on the 1st October 1876 amounted to Rs . 6,898-15-11. At close of the year it amounts to Rs . 4,371-15-7, showing a further recovery in cash and labour of Rs . 2,527-0-4. It is gratifying to observe that the enormous advances ofRs. 35,000 , made on different occasions of scarcity, have now been reduced to the small sum of Rs. 4,371-15-7 , which , it is hoped, will be recovered during the present and the next working season .
4. The reason why the Road Cess Act X. of 1871 cannot be introduced in this district was fully explained in lastlast year's report, and also why there is no Road Cess Committee. It is needless therefore to reproduce them in this place. It may be sufficient to state that as soon as the works are approved by the Executive Engineer of Chittagong and sanctioned by the Commissioner of the Division , they are executed under the immediate supervision of the Deputy Commissioner .
5. The following works were executed and payments made during the year under review :- A sum of Rs. 59-8-3 were paid for printing charges in the Bengal Office , and shown under the head of contingencies for collection of revenue.
6. About 2 miles of road from Rangapania bil to Manickcherry were constructed at a cost of Rs . 4,957-6-6 by excavating and throwing on the roadway about 710,700 cubic feet of earth at Rs . 4-8 per 1,000 cubic feet; thus making it 18 feet broad on the top and raising it to an average height of 3 to 5 feet .
7. About 440 yards of rocky sides of hill were cut and removed from the above road at a cost of Rs . 887-9-8, making a roadway 18 to 20 feet in breadth .
8. Rs. 50 were spent in clearing jungle for constructing the above road.
9. About 109,000 cubic feet of hard sandstone were cut and removed from Manickcherry hill top at a cost of Rs . 1,221-18-8 , by which the normal height of the hill was reduced by 15 feet.
10. About 11 miles of small roads of an average breadth of 6 feet were constructed in different directions at Rangamattee at a cost of Rs . 407-6-0 .
11. About 150 yards of road from the police hospital to the river at Rangamattee cost Rs . 25-12-0 .
12. About 24 miles of road from Puri Rowajah's village to the frontier post at Pyramid Hill, and about 12 miles from Ruma to the frontier post at Politye in Sungoo Sub - Division , were constructed by cutting and removing jungle from the roads . The cost of the former amounted to Rs . 718-5-10 , and of the latter to Rs . 491-8-0 .
13. A road about 2 miles in length and 4 feet in breadth was made by the side of the river from Waggahsurrah tea plantation to Chundergonah Bazar. The cost up to date amounts to Rs . 400 .
14. A sum of Rs . 176-6-6 was spent by the Executive Engineer of Chittagong in surveying a part of the road from Rangamattee towards Chittagong.
15. About 13 miles of road from Rangamattee hill top to Rangapania bil were repaired at a cost of Rs . 432-7-7 .
16. About 804 yards of road were repaired at a cost of Rs . 132-10-0 from the police hospital to foot of Deputy Commissioner's Office at Rangamattee.
17. On the road from Rangamattee towards Chittagong 83 temporary bridges were repaired at a cost of Rs. 400, and the cost of repairing the wooden bridge at Rangamattee amounted to Rs . 14-4-0. 18. The road from Rangamattee towards Chittagong was kept open during the rainy seasonby cutting and removing jungle and undergrowth of trees at a cost of Rs . 420. 19. The cost of repairing the masonry ghat at Rangamattee amounted to Rs . 240-5-6 ; two masonry wells , Rs . 48 ; and the bungalow at Kalipore , Rs . 58 .
20. About 18 miles of road from Ruma towards Rangamattee were kept open at a cost of Rs . 558 by cutting and removing jungle during the rainy season. The road from Chundergonah towards Rangamattee was repaired at a cost of Rs . 28.
21. A sum of Rs . 2,531 was paid for services rendered by Public Works Department . 22. Rs. 400 on account of special allowance of Mr. A. Dekozario, Inspector of Police, and Rs . 120, the salary of Charifroo, Mohurir, were paid for local establishment. 23. A sum of R. 41-11-6 was paid for repairing 296 tools of different descriptions .
24. Owing to the scarcity which was prevalent in and near Chundergonah police station and Waggahsurrah tea plantation from July to September lust , a road was opened hetween the abovenamed two places , and during that period about thirty - eight men were daily employed in constructing and repaiting roads in different directions at Rangamattee and in cutting down Manickcherry hill top.
25. Towards the commencement of July last it was reported that a large number of men were in distress on account of failure of their crops . A notice was sent to all hill chiefs and village beadmen that any one comingto Rangamattee would find work in constructing roads; but with the exception of the few persons abovementioned none appeared, and it is presumed that the distress was not so extensive as it was given out . Although many hundreds of persons were really in distress , yet they managed to get on by having reoqurse to succulent roots of trees and jungle yams , which can be obtained in abundance in the bills and they employed themselves in looking after their young paddy plants , which were in promising state, and this is certainly credicreditable than seeking help from Government . 26. The road from Rangamattee towards Chittagong was surveyed ; but it is believed for want of sufficient hands the Executive Engineer of Chittagong could not frame the estimate 453 THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, MAY 15 , 1878 .
PART I. ]
for its construction . For the same reason and for want of contractors the following works were not commenced :-surveying the road from Ruma in Sungoo Sub - Division to Rangamattee; constructing two miles of road on the west of Manickcherry hill ; improving the road below police office at Rangamattee ; taking up land near Rowjoun thana ; raising the dam and deepening the tank at Rangamattee ; and repairing the road below Gagra hill .
27. It was suggested in the annual administration report for 1876-77 , and specially brought to the notice of the Commissioner of Chittagong , that the services of an overseer needed in this district ; but the request for brought to theinticores Department are greatly needed the appointment of such an officer has not yet been acceded to .
28. Owing to the ruling of the Government of Bengal ( vide its Resolution dated the 21st of April last) , the special allowance of Mr. A. DeRozario , Inspector of Police , was stopped , but he still continues in charge of the road fund work, and has been of most material assistance to me .
29. Charifroo , Mohurir , has given satisfaction in the discharge of his duties during the year under review.
30. During the year all the larger works were executed and paid for, for the first time, by contract rates at Rs . 4-8 per 1,000 cubic feet of earth - cutting , and double that sum for cutting hard sandstone. It is expected that the current year will see a reduction in the above rates , as the contract was sold by auction , and the rate has been reduced to Rs . 3-4 for cutting earth and Rs . 6-8 for sandstone.
31. The execution of the following works is proposed for the year 1877-78 .
32. The construction of 2 miles of road from Manickcherry hill towards Chittagong by excavating 760,000 cubic feet of earth and making an embankment 3 to 4 feet high, with abreadth of 20 feet on the top . The cutting down and removing from Manickcherry hil' top about 100,000 cubic feet of hard sandstone , and reducing the height of the hillby another 10 feet . Proposed cost Rs . 4,020 .
33. Constructing a part of the road on the side of Debooahcherry by cutting and removing 50,000 cubic feet of hard stone , excavating and removing about 140,000 cubic feet o earth from the west side of Manickcherry hill . Proposed cost Rs. 730 .
34. Cutting down Rangamattee hill top another six feet , and removing about 72,000 cubic feet of earth . Cost Rs . 432 .
85. Opening 2 miles of small roads in different directions at Rangamattee, and constructing 90 temporary bridges on the road towards Chittagong . Cost Rs . 1,730 . I think it a great pity we should go on year after year wasting money in making temporary bridges and that, as the road is completed , it should be permanently bridged . I have addressed the Executive Engineer of Chittagong on the subject .
36. It is proposed to survey during the year a part of the road from Chandergonał to Rangamattee by the side of the river . Cost Rs. 500. 37. The construction of the following roads and minor works will be taken in hand :-
Rs.
400

39. If sanction is received , an overseer at a salary of Rs . 100 per mensem will be entertained, and the salary of Charifroo, Mohurir, will be raised from Rs . 10 to Rs. 12 per mensem . Cost Rs . 1,344 .
Rs. 200 have been reserved for contribution for services rendered to district roads by the officers of the Public Works Departinent , Rs . 150 for new tools, and Rs. 50 for repairs of old tools, and Rs . 28-7-7 for unforeseen contingencies .

41. It is proposed to make a towing path from Chundergonah to Rangamattee at a cost of about Rs . 10,000 . Should it be sanctioned , the major portion of the above funds will be spent in constructing that road . The object and advantage of opening out the road are manifold, as the banks of the river will before long be dotted with tea plantations and the waste lands reclaimed and brought under cultivation, and a brisk trade will spring up on the banks of the river. Moreover, during the rains , when the river is at its highest, boats can
be towed up, and so much valuable time saved. 42. If an overseer is not appointed by the Public Works Department , one will be locally entertained for the next five months at Rs . 25 per mensem .
43. During the heavy and unusual fall of rain in July and August last , a great portion of the road constructed on the sides of steep hills has been washed away and will require repairs . These repairs will be taken in hand at once . The masonry ghat at Rangamattee was also destroyed from the same cause.
44. For the realization of the advances made to the hillmen for plough cultivation , the custom has hitherto been to employ them on road- work , and their wages , minus diet expenses , are refunded into the treasury . The same course is also being adopted this year .
45. The statement showing the salaries of officers employed under the Road Cess Committee for the year 1877-78 , as per Bengal Government , Public Works Department's Circular No. 48E , of 23rd June 1877, is enclosed.

E. H. RUDDOCK ,
Offg . Deputy Commissioner .
No. 64G.M. , dated Chittagong , the 22nd February 1878 .
From-E . E. LowIs , Esq. , Commissioner of the Chittagong Division,
To- The Secretary to the Government of Bengal , Public Works Department .
I HAVE the honor to submit the following annual report on the adminstration of the District Road Fund in the districts of the Chittagong Division for the cess year ending 30th September 1877 ; and to enclose herein the distinct reports and accounts , together with a general abstract of the same made for the whole Division.
2. The slight delay which has occurred in the submission of this report is owing to the non- receipt of the Noakholly accounts , which came to hand only on the 9th instant
3. An abstract of particulars regarding the meetings of the District Road Committees in the regulation districts of this Division during the year under review also accompanies . There being no landed interest properly speaking in the Hill Tracts on which the road cess may be levied , Act X. ( B.C.) of 1871 has not been extended to that district , noi has any Coь mittee been formed for the management of its road fund , the administration of which rosts solely with the Deputy Commissioner .
4. During the year under report the Committee in Chittagong consisted of six official and ten non-official members , and they had six meetings ; the average attendance in each being 5.83 .
5. Out of the number of non - official members who did not attend any of the meetings some are reported to have evinced no interest whatever in the duties entrusted to them . The rest of the members seem to have shown fair activity as in the preceding year in discussing matters that were laid before them .
6. In Noakholly the Committee comprised of four official and fourteen non - official members, and they had also six meetings with an average attendance of 6 6. This was a marked improvement when compared with the number of sittiags , and the average attendance of the Imembers during the preceding year, showing that the non - official members took interest in the transaction of road cess matters during the year under review.

7. The receipts of this Division during the year under report on account of the District Road Fund amounted to Rs . 1,00,855-9-2 , against Rs . 44,377 of the preceding year, viz. ,-

8. In Noakholly only , where the valuations under the Road Cess Act have been completed , was the cess , amounting to Rs . 61,597-2-9 , collected during the year. The valuations in Chittagong not having been completed , only fines under section 6 of Act X. of 1871 of Rs . 3,562-18-8 were realized in that district .
9. No grant from Provincial Reserve Fund was made to Noakholly during the year under report . Re . 10,000 were allotted from that reserve to each of the other two districts ,- vide Government Notification No. 278 of the 15th August 1876 , and Resolution No. 3043A . ot the 18th idem .
10. No contribution from any private person was received in any of the districts , which may perhaps be accounted for by the depressed condition of the people after the cyclone of the 31st October 1876 .
11. Of the total miscellaneous receipts (Rs 791-12-4) of the year , Rs. 772-0-6 were on account of contribution trom khas mehals in Chittagong ; the remainder appertains to the district of Noakholly , of which no detail has been given by the Chairman .
12. The total receipt (Rs. 1,00,855-9-2 ) ; together with the unexpended balance (Rs . 14,174-1-11 ) of the preceding year, aggregating in all to R9 . 1,15,029-11-1 , was available tor expenditure during the year .
13. The actual expenditure was , however , Rs . 1,20,832-5-3 in the year under review, against Rs . 79,641-10-4 of the preceding year, vis. ,-

14. The expenditure ( Rs . 1,20,882-5-3) of the year , together with the unexpended balance (ks. 20,670-2-6 ) remainin at itat its close amounted to Rs . 1,41,502-7-9 , and out of this the sum of Rs . 26,472-12-8 was expended by the Chittagong Committee in excess of their actual receipts which were inadequate to meet their wants . The valuations under the District Road Cess Act not having been completed , no cess couldbe realized during the year ; while on the other hand, the Committee had to pay Rs . 38,991-1-1 for their very large establishment enter- tained for the purpose of making assessment, besides the expenditure they had to mour on urgent district works .
15. The above deficit expenditure of Chittagong , together with the amount of expen- diture of the same description ( viz , Rs. 20,102-12-0 ) for the preceding year, makes up a total deficit of Rs . 46,575-8-8 and, this debt the Committee were asked to repay during the current year in full . On their representation, however, that most of their urgent works had been stopped during the year under report and the preceding year for want of fund , the Govern- ment have allowed the demand against the District Road Fund to be paid in two instalments to be made during. the course of the current year and the year following .
16. In Noakholly , two- thirds of the total outlay was spent on repairs , as the cyclone of the 31st October 1876 did much damage to the roads and bridges towards the south of the district .
17. The Committee in both the regulation districts managed to carry out their district works by their own agency, and consequently paid no contribution to oredit of the Public Work Departinent during the year. The Hill Tracts only contributed to Rs . 2,531to that department.

The 17th June 1878 -It is hereby notified that , under Section 155 of Act VIII of 1878 , the Lieutenant- Governor of Bengal has been pleased to prescribe the following rules for ascertaining and determining what spirit imported into British India shall be deemed to have been effectually and permanently rendered unfit for human consumption :-
RULES .
I-Spirit imported into British India for use exclusively in arts , manufactures , or chemistry, which has been rendered effectually and permanently unfit for human consump- tion. is subject only to an ad valorem duty of ten per cent . under Article XXXII , Schedule Aof the Indian Tariff Act XVI of 1875 .
II .-Whenever such spirit is imported from the United Kingdom into any port of the Bengal Presidency before it can be admitted at the reduced rate of duty as aforesaid , the importer must satisfy the Collector of Customs at that port that the spirit has been rendered effectually and permanently unfit for human consumption, and must produce a certificate 689 PART I. ]
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE , JUNE 26, 1878 .
from a competent Customs or Excise authority of the United Kingdom that the spirit has already been subjeoted, under proper supervision in the United Kingdom , to a process by which it has been rendered effectually and permanently unfit for human consumption .
III . If the importer cannot so satisfy the Collector of Customs , the latter shall cause such spirit to be examined , and , if necessary , rendered unfit for consumption in the manner hereinafter described as applicable to spirit imported from other countries than the United Kingdom.
IV.- Whenever such spirit as aforesaid is imported from other countries than the United Kingdom into any port of the Bengal Presidency , the Collector of Customs at that port shall send a sample of such spirit to the Chemical Examiner for examination and report , at the expense of the importer ; and if the Chemical Examiner shall certify that the spirit has been rendered effectually and permanently unfit for human consumption, the Collector of Customs shall admit it at the reduced rate of duty.
V.-Whenever imported spirit is to be rendered effectually and permanently unfit for human consumption by officers of the Customs Department , the ingredientto be used for admixture with the spirit shall be caoutchoucine , and it shall be mixed with the spirit in the proportion of one part and a half of volume of the caoutchoucine to 98 parts of volume ofthe spirit , which shall not be of less strength than 30 per cent . over proof.
VI.- But when it can be proved to the satisfaction of the Board of Revenue that the presence of caoutchoucine will render the spirit unsuitable for the purpose for which it is required , special sanction may be obtained for the use of woodnaptha instead of caoutchoucine . Inthis case one part of volume of crude woodnaptha shall be mixed with nine parts of volume of the spirit , which shall not be of a less strength than 30 per cent . over proof.
VII . The caoutchoucine , or the woodnaptha, before admixture with the spirit, must be tested by the Chemical Examiner to Government , who must certify to the Collector of Customs that it is of proper strength, fitted , if used in the proportions mentioned in rule V or VI , to effectually and permanently render unpalatable and unfit for human consumption the spirit with which it is mixed .
VIII.- Any expense which may be incurred by the Collector of Customs in rendering spirit unfit for human consumption , or in ascertaining that it has been so rendered , must be paid by the importer.
IX. The use of spirit methylated or caoutchoucined according to these rules is not permitted in the manufacture or preparation of tinctures , medicated spirits, hyponitrous ether , or other pharmaceutical preparations or in the manufacture or preparation of any other article capable of being used as a beverage or internally as a medicine , with the exceр- tion of sulphuric ether, chloroform , and chloral hydrate .

2.

3. Legal -tender copper coin, and silver coin which is legal - tender for only fractions of a rupee, which may accumulate in any treasury or at any Presidency Bank or Branch of a Presidency Bank in excess of the current local demand for such coin, should , under the orders of the Comptroller -General , be at once returned into store in the nearest depôt or sub-depot.
4. No copper or silver coin in store in such depôt or sub -depôts shall be reckoned as money, or included in any return of money in the public treasuries or at credit of the Government .
5. Legal -tender copper or small silver coins, to meet current local demands , will be supplied to treasurics from the nearest depôt or sub -depot ; but indents should not be made for such coin in excess of what is necessary to meet current local demands .
6. As soon as legal - tender copper coin or small silver coin is issued from a depôt or sub-depôt , it will be reckoned and treated as money; and as soon as any such coin is received into such depôt , it will cease to be treated as money .

THE Court are pleased to warn all Judicial Officers, subject to their superintendence in the Lower Provinces and Assam, against permitting one Abdool Ali , lately practising as a Pleader in Chittagong , from practising as such in any Court , Civil or Criminal . 2.

Observations . For many years past the Government of India have been anxious to equalise the burthen of salt taxation throughout the country . The rate of duty on salt has always been higher , and until the beginning of this year very much higher, in the Bergal Presidency than in the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay . InInApril 18611861 the duty in the Lower Provinces of Bengal stood at Rs. 3-4 per maund , and in the Upper Provinces at Rs . 3 per maund , while in the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay it was only Re . 1-4 per maund.
2 In the Northern Provinces of India, moreover, the cost of salt was further rela- tively enhanced by the greater distances from the sources of supply , and the prices of the article to the consumer were consequently on the whole much higher than elsewhere .
8. The financial exigencies of the State did not admit of the loss of any part of the revenue derived from the salt duties , and it became obvious that the only practicable way of reducing the excessive prices in Northern India was to equalise the duties throughout the whole country, for the great differences of which in the several provinces there was no justification in principle.
4. In the five years ending 1877-78 the average annual quantity of salt taxed in British India was about 240 lakhs of maunds , and the average annual duty was about six crores of rupees , giving an average rate of Rs . 2-8 per maund . As the object of the Government was not to increase the total revenue from the salt duty , but only to maintain the amount which had been previously realized, a rate of Rs . 2-8 per maund was taken for general adoption.
5. The duties in Madras and Bombay have accordingly been gradually raised, until in December last they were fixed at Rs . 2-8 per maund. At the same time the duty in Bengal was reduced in the Lower Provinces to Rs . 3-2 and in the Upper Provinces to Rs . 2-12 per maund.
6. As announced in the financial statement of the present year, the Government of Indiahas been in negotiation with the Native States of Rajputana and Central India with a view to the adoption of measures which should admit of the abolition of the Inland Customs line, the maintenance of which had been necessary to prevent the salt produced in those states from passing untaxed into Northern India, and to secure the full rate of duty on the importation of the less highly taxed sait of the south , as well as the export duty on British sugar.
7. These negotiations have now been brought to a close , and the arrangements which will ensue will permit of the early removal of the customs line . The sugar dutics have already been abrogated, and the Government now finds itself in a position in which another important step may be taken towards the fulfilment of its policy of equalising the duties by making a further reduction of 4 annas per maund in the Bengal Presidency. Thus , throughout the greater part of British India a uniform duty of Rs . 2-8 per mannd has now been arrived at .
8. The Government of India is sensible that the changes in the rates of duty which have been necessary in carrying out its policy could not be made without causing some disturbance in the salt trade, and it takes the occasion of the present reduction of duty to 839 PART I.J
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE , AUGUST 7 , 1878 .
announce that, so far as those provinces are concerned in which the duty has now been fixed at Rs . 2-8 per maund , the measure of equalisation may be regarded as complete and final , and that no further alteration is contemplated , the financial position of British India not admitting of the hope of a lower goneral rate than Rs . 2-8 per maund being adopted within any period that can now be foreseen .
9. The Governor- General in Council thinks that this statement is desirable in the interests of the salt trade , so that any uncertainty as to the future rate of duty on salt may be removed .
ORDER-Ordered that the above Resolution be published in the Gazette of India.

With reference to a notice published in the Straits Settlements Government Gazette on the 27th July 1877, relative to the exhibition of a light on Middle Point, Klang Strait, it is now notified that a permanent Bright light, instead of a Red light, as stated in the above notice, will be exhibited on the 20th August 1878, in lieu of the temporary light now shewn.
The light will be placed on a frame - work of timber ; will be 80 feet above high water, and should be visible through an arc of 75° , or between the bearings of North by West to North - East by East East , from a distance of about 10 nautical miles . The light is situated on the South - West point of Pulo Lumaut . Position, latitude 2º 52′ 25 " N. , longitude 101 ° 14′ 28″ Ε .

Observations .- For many years past the Government of India have been anxious to equalise the burthen of salt taxation throughout the country . The rate of duty on salt has always been higher , and until the beginning of this year very much higher, in the Bengal Presidency than in the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay. In April 1861 the duty in the Lower Provinces of Bengal stood at Rs . 3-4 per maund, and in the Upper Provinces at Rs . 3 per mauud , while in the Presidencies of Madras and Bombay it was only Re. 1-4 per maund.
2. In the Northeru Provinces of India, moreover , the cost of salt was further rela- tively enhanced by the greater distances from the sources of supply , and the prices of the article to the consumer were consequently on the whole much higher than elsewhere .
3. The financial exigencies of the State did not admit of the loss of any part of the revenue derived from the salt duties, and it became obvious that the only practicable way of reducing the excessive prices in Northern India was to equalise the duties throughout the whole country, for the great differences of which in the several provinces there was no justification in principle .
4. In the five years ending 1877-78 the average annual quantity of salt taxed in British India was about 240 lakhs of maunds, and the average annual duty was about six crores of 864
THE CALCUTTA GAZETTE, AUGUST 14 , 1878 .
[PART I.
=
rupees , giving an average rate of Rs. 2-8 per maund . As the object of the Government was not to increase the total revenue from the salt duty, but only to maintain the amount which had been previously realized, a rate of Rs . 2-8 per maund was taken for general adoption.
5. The duties in Madras and Bombay have accordingly been gradually raised, until in December last they were fixed at Rs . 2-8 per maund . At the same time the duty in Bengal was reduced in the Lower Provinces to Rs . 3-2 and in the Upper Provinces to Rs . 2-12 per maund.
6. As announced in the financial statement of the present year , the Government of India has been in negotiation with the Native States of Rajputana and Central India with a view to the adoption of measures which should admit of the abolition of the Inland Customs line, the maintenance of which had been necessary to prevent the salt produced in those states from passing untaxed into Northern India , and to secure the full rate of duty on the importation of the less highly taxed salt of the south, as well as the export duty on British sugar.
7. These negotiations have now been brought to a close , and the arrangements which will ensue will permit of the early removal of the customs line . The sugar duties have already been abrogated, and the Government now finds itself in a position in which another important step may be taken towards the fulfilment of its policy of equalising the duties by making a further reduction of 4 annas per maund in the Bengal Presidency. Thus , throughout the greater part of British India a uniform duty of Rs . 2-8 per maund has now been arrived at
8. The Government of India is sensible that the changes in the rates of duty which have been necessary in carrying out its policy could not be made without causing some disturbance in the salt trade , and it takes the occasion of the present reduction of duty to announce that, so far as those provinces are concerned in which the duty has now been fixed at Rs . 2-8 per maund , the measure of equalisation may be regarded as complete and final , and that no further alteration is contemplated , the financial position of British India not admitting of the hope of a lower general rate than Ks . 2-8 per maund being adopted within any period that can now he foreseen .
9. The Governor -General in Council thinks that this statement is desirable in the interests of the salt trade , so that any uncertainty as to the future rate of duty on salt may be removed .
ORDER. Ordered that the above Resolution he published in the Gazette of India.

Financial Resolution No. 2055, dated 25th July 1877 , diresting that no money shall be removed from the Public Treasury for investment without the sanction of the Government of India, and pointing out that this Rule applies to Local Fund balances as much as to Provincial Funds . Financial Resolution No. 680, dated 4th February 1878 , exempting Dispensary Funds from the opera- tion of the foregoing orders .
RESOLUTION . The Governor- General in Council observes that there has been some misunderstanding of the intentions of the Government of India in respect to the investment of Local Fund balances , and that it is necessary to state clearly the principle , on which the orders of 25th July 1877 were based That principle is, that no funds contributed from the public revenues, or raised by general taxation, such as the District Cess Funds, and the like, shall be invested without the consent of the Government of India. Thus the orders of July 1877 do not apply to Municipal or Port Funds, nor do they apply to Trust or Endow- ment Funds of any kinds .

That principle is, that no funds contributed from the public revenues , or raised by general taxation, such as the District Cess Funds , and the like, like, shall be invested without the consent of the Government of India . Thus the orders of July 1877 do not apply to Municipal or Port Funds, nor do they apply to Trust or Endow- ment Funds of any kinds .

No. 31, dated the 19th September 1878 .
The attention of all Judicial Officers in the Lower Provinces of Bengal and Assam is drawn to the remarks contained in Circular Order No. 24, dated the 23rd August 1870, in which the importance of a strict attention to the provisions of the law with respect to the service of processes forwarded,by the Calcutta Court of Small Causes under Sections 29 and 30 of Act IX of 1850 was pointed out.
2. The Court has learnt with regret that the Judges of the Small Cause Court have still frequent reason to complain of the want of care with which their processes are treated by the Courts in the interior, and that much inconvenience and expense are occasionally caused to suitors by the irregular manner in which affidavits of service are filled in: The Judges of the Small Cause Court will now be asked to mention specifically any Court from which processes are habitually or frequently returned in an imperfect condition , and the Court will not fail to take such steps as may be necessary to prevent a repetition of the complaint.
No 32 , dated the 20th September 1878 .
The attention of all Judicial Officers is called to the notification of this date , copy of which is annexed, imposing a fee of one rupee in respect of administering oaths on affidavits under the Code of Civil Procedure ( Act X of 1877) .
2. It will be observed that the fee is payable in Court fee stamps , and will therefore be credited to Government. These fees should be shewn separately in the daily register of Court fees realized , prescribed by Circular Order No. 23 , dated 22nd December 1877, in order that it may be ascertained whether the receipts in any district are sufficient to justify the appointment of a special officer to administer oaths on affidavits .
