cost, by laying out lines for irri-
gation on true and correct levels,
and by reducing their slopes of

to keep up a [scour ?], and at the

2 "The method of accounts
and of obtaining ground for the
purpose of these Rajbuhas, are
as follows : -
1st The cost of a Rajbuha to
be estimated, and on that estimate
assignments to be granted. Accounts
to be kept separate under the
head of "Jukkavi advances"
2nd The land which will be
occupied by these Rajbuhas,
is to be obtained in the usual
form, and on the usual scale
of remission.
3rd The amount of remission

Zumeendars, in the above account
of "Jukkavi advances" until
the Rajbuhas are accepted by

the land over which the Rajbuha runs, and
which is necessarily kept out of cultivation,
would receive his [law ?] and rule remission
for the land so occupied; whilst the amount
of remission would be levied from the irri-
gators generally : - It is evident that the
irrigators in general, and not the individuals
whose land is occupied by the works of the Rajbuha,
ought to pay the remission : which in fact is a legit-
imate portion of the annual expenses of outlay [repairs ?].
