with regard to the duties of the
Beldars during the dry season,
would be equally applicable
here; and I imagine that the
whole of the roads, embankments
and space between the canal
boundaries, including the es-
-planades connected with the
works at Dhunouri, may be
kept in the most perfect state
of order by the Beldar parties.
One of the chief duties of the
overseer at this post, will be to
see to the efficient working of
the under channels at the regu-
-lator, to [see, struck through] take care that they are main -
-tained in a free and unimepe-
-ded state, and that no inunda-
-tion is allowed to collect above
the works. Rules on this subject
together with regulations for the
discipline of the Beldars, might
with great advantage be printed,
and hung up in the public
buildings. I would recommend
that these rules and regulations
be printed in Hindi and Ourdoo
as well as in English.

II. Heads of Branches

These works are in
form identical with the regula-
-tors described in the last section,
their purposes, however, are
merely those of regulating the
supply of water from the main
trunk to the branches. They
are useful in giving us the
power of stopping supply al-
-together, [in, struck through] when laying the branch
dry for repairs. They are equally
useful

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.
