main canal have in the effective
distribution of the above supply
been deducted; the full theoreti-
cal volume being calculated
for the irrigation of the remain-
ing 155 miles, at the rate of
8 cubic feet per second per mile.
It is proposed that the [Withshier ?]
Futtigurh branch on its reaching
the 160th mile shall be continued
onwards to the town of Futtigurh
as a navigable channel, so as
to connect that place with the
main canal, and thereby to
give it the advantages of water
carriage. Whether it may be
necessary hereafter to build a
series of terminal locks into
the Ganges in the same way
as has been done at Cawnpoor,
may be at present doubtful;
but at any rate as these are
works demanding a large
outlay of money, they may
well be postponed until a
future occasion.
The preparatory surveys
required for the Futtigurh branch
are in a more advanced state,
than those of the other subordi-
nate lines, the whole country
from the main trunk of the canal
at Jaoli to the junction of the
east Kalli Nuddi with the Ganges,

as closely as possible upon the
watershed, with transverse cross
sections from river to river at

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
