"Nusseerpoor".- This although time
to a great extent under the re=
=modelled works, has been some
=what modified by the constructing
of the Falls at Assoffnuggur from
the head of which the leading
main lines of the Rajbuha are taken,
and by the Establishment of
heads for Irrigation for the high
lands of the Khadir. In the former
case, however, that Assoffnuggur
heads have merely led to a re=
=distribution of the supply origin=
=ally devoted to the line of Canal
situated between the 27 1/2 and the
110th mile ; and in the latter, the
proximity of the heads for Irri=
=gation to the Ganges River, will
enable us, if necessary, to draw
away an extra quantity of water
for their [special?] purpose. The
alterations therefore, although it
may be necessary to allude to
them, do not in any way inter=
=fere with the original project
for supply.-

The Country with which the
Rajbuhas are connected may
be classed under three denomina=
=tions.-

I The Ganges Khadir, where
from the natural moisture
arising from its proximity to
the mountains, the demand
for Irrigation is at maminum.

II The lands between Roorkee
and the Terminus of the
main Trunk at Nanoon
on the greater part of which
owing to excessive slope of

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.
