In the current field season I shall be able to, introduce revised rates of assessment into eighteen (18) villages of the Mundgod Mahal of the YelJa.pur T81uka of North KAnara and
'into sixty-four. (64) villages 'of the' Sirsi T,{iuka of the same Collectorate; these village. are immediately adjacent to those of the Mundgod MaMI, the settlement ohvhich was. sanctioned by Government Resolution No. 16S0,'dated 27th AprillS68, and the rates of assessment I propose to apply to them are identical with thoEe sanctioned for the adj/loCCnt villages by the Resolution above quoted.
. 2. I shall al~ be able to introduce revised rates into eighteen villages (18~ and hamlets · of tl;1e Karwllr TaJuka of North KaDara, these being the first villages settled below the gMts ..
I expect, to meet the Collector of North Ka.nara in a day or two in order to confer with him. about the rates of assessment which I propose, hut as it is desirable that no time should be lost in giving out the revised rates as soon as'the Collector and I have agreed upon' them, I beg tbat . Government will sanction this, a detailed report being afterwards submitted. In common with all tbe settlements hitnerto made in North Kanara, r anticipate that there will be a considerable imDJediate increase.of revenue in this settlement to the amqnnt of about Rupees thirty thousand (3Q,OOO) annually. . . . "
Many of these villages have heen classed in the current se"';on, and it would· have been impossible to ha.ve furnished a full report of. the rates in tilne for the introduction of, the settlement in the current season: .

SIR, •
. • I have the hon.our to fOl'Wllord the following report in detail on the rates of assesSment in-, traduced for the year 1~69-70 int~~O villages ~f the :M.undgod ~a~alkali's ;oivis~on of the Y",llapur Ttlluk .. and \lito 64 VlllageS rormmg part of the Sml Taluka, sanctIOn to the introduction of which rates was·given by G,overnment Resolu~on N.:>. 1567; dated 29th March 1810. ' •.
* .* • * • * * * . \ 12. I now COme 00 the Sirsi villages, the first settled in that ttllUKa. These are sixty
four (64) in number, they 'are contiguous. to the sonth of the Mundgnd sub-division aild run down along the DMrwl1r frontier till.the Mysore frontier is met, they form: the extreDle south-
· eastern corner of North Ka.nara, and In ·the southern part are bounded both on the. east tlnd south by, Mysore. To thJl east, both in Dhtlrwllr and the northern part of Mysore, the conntry
· is cOq;lparatively open and well populated, and there are several fair market towns within <,&sy , ~

reach. The high road from Hubli to Sirei and Kumb skirts some of these villages at .. distance of two or three miles to the north.eaqt, in the south they, are intersected bv the mode road from the mal'ket town of Banv ... i to Sir~i, and the western villages are within two to four miles of the town of Sirsi, the principal place in these parts. .
13. The rice lands in tbls part of the Sirsi Taluka are, similarly to those io Mund~od for the most part dependent upon the rainfall, which either descends directly upon the land, or more frequently is led by email water·courses from higher ground. Of superior rice land bearing a second green crop of fOme kind or occasional sugarcane, there is a small proportion' of tank irrigation there is Dot much. • • J
14. The villages along the north'eastern fronti~r have thus the advantage of vicinity to opell' well populated country and good market., the villages near the Hubli and Sirsi road and tho.e on the }lanva,i and ::iirsi road have advantages as regards communications with one larg~ and one fair mill' keto .
15. I have therefore placed all the villages en~oying the above advantages in one group, a .. e.,ed at the .ame rates as regards .ry.crop and rICe as the first group 0 f the Mundgod vil. la"c8, namely, Rs:5 for rice and Re. 1 for dry·cl'Op. The villages farther from the road I bave • pl~ce'l under the same maximum rates as the second group io ~lundgod, namely, &S. 4-8·0 and Rs. o·a.o, respectively, for rice and dry.crop.
16, In these vi11a~es we begin to mcet with the betel nut and spice gardens, which con. stitute the most valuable part of the clJ.ltivation in the wostern part of the Sirsi T.tluka. First claaR gardens, however, require a somewh&t moisture climute than is met with so far east. I have taken for the gardeu land. in th .. e villages a maximum rate of Rs. 12 per acre.
17. The following Btatement shows the recorded occllpiell area, the gross a~sessment, rem;"siou., and net collections for these sixty· four (M) villages for the l .. st twenty years :-

18. The whole of th •• e villages appe .. to have been surveyed about IB22.:?5, but the reo vised as,cssmeut was only introduced into twenty·one of them in 1823·24. In this statemeut the arcas cannot be much depended upon, at any rate in the latter years, as much land was certaiuly occu})lell without. b~ing brought to ac(,,ollnt.' 'fhs occupied area is recorded as aC\'es 13,365 in tho first yeaI' of the statement 1&t9·5U, and the realizations .. t Rs. 19 .. tu6 ; 8n(1 in the last year, 1868-6J, the occupied area appears as acres 13,(;26 ami the net collections at Rs. 22,366. Th. "rea remained pretty constant during- the whole twenty years; the net col· lections, however, increas.d about 1& per cent; while the old acc(}unts for It6.l·70 show but acres 1;\,9"'1 as occupied, the sur .. y 8<'count. for the ."me year show that acres 22,;{50 were actunlly in cccupation, 80 that aC1"o.~ 8,30H, or 60 per cent~ on the area brought to account, 'tas a"tllally occupied and not brought to account. This amOlmt of encroachment had doubtless' bcen gradually attoined anll had,. together with the !treat rise in prices of Int. yem's, rendered the pressure of the a,.essment eXc<edingly light and should have removed all necessity for r./11isoions of any kind.

. 21. The Government nnoccupied' waste, acres 4,178, bears a.n assessment Rs. 2,303, or Re. 0·8.1 Bvemge rate per acre; it must theref!)re be almost without e"ception dry-crop land, which in these parts is held of minor acconnt. Frequent fallows are necessary in dry.crop land, and its chief nlue consists in the capability of turning into rice land by levelling and terracing. Both in these villages and in Mundgoo nearly all of the land now waste had been occupied and cultivated at no distant time, but, fell WlISte in consequence of the fever which has prevailed during the last tenyears.
* 22. The total area of these villages is acres 61,563, of which acres 22,359 were occupied at the time of the settlement in 1870, acres 4,178 consisted of arable assessed waste, and acres 23,978 consist of forest; The population is 11,969, or 124 to the square mile, a larger average, than in Mundgod in consequence of the proportion of forest to occupied land being less. ,
• 28. I will now show in comparison the result of the settlement now reported upon in the villages of the Mundgod and Sirsi Talukas together, the assessment of which was revised by the Madl'llS authorities in 1822-23, compared with those the assessment of which had been so revised.
24. Out of the villa,,<>es tbe settlement of which is now reported on, as before stated, seventeen (17) of those in Mundgod and twenty· one (21) of those in Sirsi had their assessment revised in 18.22.23. The assessment was fixed in the following manner: "the .Mal. or plots of land were measured and one-third of the gross produce ascertained by actual reaping and measuremont, converted'into money at equitable and moderate rates, was assumed as the future money assessment/'
25. The following statement shows the occupied area, gross assessment, remissions and net collections for thirty-eight (3B) villages which-out of those, the subjeot of this letter-had their assessment thus revisod. For conveuienoe sake I will Duly show every fifth year of the last twenty and the five last years.'

26. The last year lli69-70 IS the year In whICh the survey rates of assessment were introduced; the entry under the head" Net Colleotions Rs. 14,996" shows merely the sum stated a. that which would have been collected if the .urvey rate. had not been substituted for those b itherto in force. • •
In 1869·70 acres 6,8t5 are recorded as the are .. actually occupied, an incr ..... of nearly 1,000 acre. over the area of the preceding year. I doubt exceedingly if any actual increase of occupation took place in the yea.r before th, settlement; it is, I think, more probable that 80me of the encroachment. were brought to account here and there by the Shanbogs. The neb sum for collection, it will be observed, appear. increased by only Rs. 107. While acres 6,845 appear ... occupied in 1863-70 according to the .. i\lage and distriot acccunts, acres 13,246
, were ascertained by the survey to be actually in occupation in the next year, divided under the following head.. I must note that no detail of the di%rent kinds of occupied land is available in the old accounts for 1869-70 ,-

Under the old oystem the assessment or dry-crop land, or" Hakal" as it is called, is supposed to be included in that of the adjacent rice land is not separately shown.
28. I would request attention to the a!>?ve shown average rates. Those of the old accounts are the rates fixed by the Madras reVISIOn, nearly 50 years .,,000; these rat~s are stated to have been fixed at the proportion of one.third? of the gross 'produ:e. I hav~ not been able to obtain any return of prices as far b~k as 18_3, the year In ~~ch the revised rates were fixed, or any earlier than 1840 when pnces were very low. But It IS no~ too mnch t? assume that the prices of 1820 in parts of the countr,r so remote from commuDicatIOns as the n~lghbon:hood of Sirsi and Mundgod were not one-third of what they now range at; the eqmvalent In
money at present values of the Madras rates averaging Ro. 2-ti-3 pel' acre, woul~ therefore on • rice land not· be less than Rs. 7; a.nd the survey assessment on land averag-mg under the Madras rates Rs. 2-5_8 per acre on the same assumption will not ~e more than one-ninth of the gross produce, which is, I imagine, about the real average proportIon .
. 29. The following show. the rela.tive .proportion of ~he o~d and new .... e.sment in the forty-six (46) villages, the assessment of whIch was not revIsed In 1823 :-.

. No .eparate detail of the assessment on different kinds of land exists under the old accounts.
30. Thus the average old rate over all the occupied land in these Villages was Rs. 1-4-10 against a similar average of Rs. 2·6-2 in the village. in which the Madl'as revision took effect. The survey assessment on the whole (84) eighty-four village. averaaes Rs. I-H-3 per acre over all. These figures will, I trust, sufficiently show the great mod:ration of the present Rssessment compared with what it was thought equitahle to impose 50 years ago.
31. There is no douht that the snrvey rates in the "aBe of these BettlementBmight have been pitched somewhat higher. The standard for the ahove ghltt .assessment was adopted from 18640 to 1867 when the country was in .. very depressed condition from the fever which had infested it for some few years back; there i. now a marked improvement in this re.pect, but it i., I think, on the whole .advisable to adhere to one general standard in parts of the same district, making due allowa.nce for permanent local advantages as far as they can be estimated. A uniform standard for taxation has great advantages in simplifyin~ fu~re adjustments and revisions on the .xpiration of the time for which the present assess': ment is fixed.
32. These villages are assessed at very much the ssme standard as those of the adjacent Dharwar District were settled upon 20 to 25 year ago when prices were much lower and communications were much leso perfect. The. contiguous taluka of Mysore, Sorab, was settled under lIly control in the year now current. We there found much higher rates of assessmed hitherto prevailing, and on rice lands we adopted maximum rat". varying from Rs. 6-4-0 to R •. 5·8-0, or, in round number, 25 per cent. higher than those adopted in the villages under report. For the garden lands a maximum of Ro. 20 per acre IVas adopted, and this apparently high ratE! in many cases caused a large reduction of assessment. In Mysore, moreover, a " Halut" or excise is levied on all betelnut exported over the frontier of the province, and this levy as actually collected does not amount to les. than R •• 2~ per acre over all. .
33. In fifteen (1.,) of the.e villages nnder report are found kana or tracts of jungle generally in the immediate vicillity of villages, containing wild products of some value, " lIIaree" treeo, from whieh toddy is drawn, a little wild pepper and colfee, and SOme other minor jungle p;·oduets. Some afthese kans" ere regularly occupied and entered as forming part of a" Wup" . or" l\hateh" with an assessment fixed upon them; others were uuoccupied. The assessment of all the.e kans was revised on the best information procurable, according to the area and the number of trees giving produce they were estimated to contain, tlie· following shows the area.. nnd •• sessment of these kans under the old and new assessment, showing separately thcsQ occupied and not occupied.

No. 3538 OF 1871.
From M. J. SHAW-STEWART, ESQ,UIRE, .
Collector of Kanara ;
To . . W. H. HAVELOCK, ESQUIRE,
Revenue Commissioner, S.D.
SIR,
Kii"ara Coil.cUI,', Office, Karwar, 1211 December 1871.
I have the honour to submit report from the Revenne Survey Commissioner on the rates inttoduced into certain villages in the Yell&pur and Sirsi Talukas.
2. I received on the 9th instant your endorseDient No. 5480, dated the 2nd instant, forwarding copy of your letter of the same. date to the Revenue Survey Commissioner. The receipt of this letter made it perplexing to know what course to adopt. On the one side there was the illegality of levying for more than one year assessment imposed under Section 25 of the llombay Survey Act until the sanction of ~he Governor in Council sball bave been obtain",l thereto, and, on the other hand, there were the bad effects to be dreaded of any retrograde step in the work of asseSSment and indeed the injury that would result to the people no less than to ltovernment flOm allowing an obstacle of such a purely technical nature to intenere with the land settlements made by competent authority and to which there was every reason to anticipate that Government would aocord its sanction.
3. Under theBe circumstances I had determilled to take upon myself the responsibility of making the demand in these villages (sO far ae the first instalment is concerned) at the revised rates introduced last year and to ask Government for an indemnity against any legal liability. that I might thereby incur. 1 trust that this course will b. approved. If Government determines that the levy during the current year of the revised rates is not legal in consequence of its sanction not being asked for till· so late a period, the matter can be adjusted by a proportional reduction in the subseqnent instalments. Under ordinary cirC'nmstances the delay in obtaining the sanction of Government would not have been of much importance; but h .. vin~ regard to the strong feelings of the people of Kanara, .the possibility should not be lost sight of. that they maY-take advantage of any apparent illegality to go to law.
4. The instalment of the 15th instant will, therefore, be levied according to the revised rate. of laet year, now submitted for sanction. . . .
5. The enclosed report from' Colonel And&-son was received on the 10th instant, .md, under the circumstanoes stated above, it is manifestly neceSsary that it should be forwarded without 1088 of time. I have, howe~er, a few remarks to make on the subject.
(1) Government Resolution No. If-67, dated 29th Maroh 1870, sanctioned the iutroduction of revised rates into 18 villages only of the Mundgod Mah ... l. But the Revenue Survey Commissioner seems to have introduced them into 20 villages and now proposes the rates of ~ese 20 villages for sanction.. '
(2) I recommend the rates propo,ed for sanction, and hs ve no. remarks to make as regards the classification which Seems .well considered •
. Oi) In paragrsph 23rd Colonel Anderson describes the principles on which the assessment was revised and fixed in 1822-23. It is not, bowever, out of place to remark that in paragraph 2 of the lett~r from the Government of Mad_ to the lloard of Revenue, No. 268, dated 28th March 1828, it is stated as follows ,-
" This principle is admitted to be erroneous and appears to have been modified in practice. It should, however, be borne in mind that although it was formerly in Bome instances the practice to fix one unvarying portion of the produce as the assess- . ment on all lands indiscriminately, the rule has in fact been nominal, as the·quautity of the land held by the rayat, although described in the Sirka. accounts as one cawny
. was iu reality two or more in proportion to the poorness of the soil, the expense ofcultivation, &c., an~ it is probable that Mr. Harris's assessment wae regulated with reference to this custOql.; for, unless it was, it could hardly have been generally levied."
This consideration, ae .tated by the Government of Madras, appears to affect the com-parisons of rates made in paragraph 27 of the report. .
(4) Teu of the s;nts filedag .. inst the Revenue Survey Commissioner and Collector are about lauds included in the sett,lement now reported on. The snit that I propose to take a9 one of the loading suits (No. 181) brought by Ramachandarao hloor is about the assessment of the viljage at Biddarhully, No. 20, el .... I, of the Sirsi list.
71 -
(5) Petitions have been snbmitted to you and referred to me for report oomplaiuiug of the way in which the grazing lands of the large village of 'Banva.hi were .old to individuals at the Settlement of 1870. Investigation is ill progress and the case will bEt repOl·ted on.
I have, &c.,

~o. 47 OP 1873.
RSVBNlJJ! DEPARTMBN'l', AIDrEDNAGAIl DISTIlleT.
Oamp llalturi, 5tlt JalluUlY 1872.
The Revenue Comml.sioner, S. D., has the honour to submit, for the consideration of Government. proposal. of the Survoyand Settlement Commissioner, S. D., rece~ed throngh the CoUector of Kana .... for tile settbment of 20 villages in the Mundgod Peth .. of the Yelhtpur Taluka, and 64 villages of the Sini Taluk.., of which li.ts are duly appended.
2. It appears that ColQnel Anderson' had, in Government Resolution No. 1567, dated 29th March 1870. received sanction for temporary introduction of revised rates into 18 villages of Mundgod; whereas the operation has been extended to 20 villages. Though it is not stated, it appear. probable that the 2 extra 'illages refened to in olause 1 of paragraph 5 of the Collector's letter No. 3538, dated 13th ultimo, are included in the three uninhabited villagEtS whioh might, at the time of Colonel Ande~son's previous report, have escaped attention.
• . S. The Revenue Commissioner begs to expreee his general concurrence in the settlement reoommended by Colonel Andereon, and approved by the Collector of Kana ... , Mr. Shaw-Stewart.
4. Unfortunately, 'the imperfect stete of the revenue records in Kanars as regards cultivated.area precludes any very precise comparison between the incidence of the former a.nd the proposed .... essment.. But in his 5th' paragl'aph Colonel Anderson has shown the o.creage a9 reoOl'ded for 17 out of the 20 villages during 20 years £1'<>m IM49-f>0 to 1868.69, the assessment, permanent rednction and remissions, and the balance actually collected. The last mentioned 8um increased from &S. 4,013 in 1849-50 to Rs. 5,149 in 1868·69. '
5. From paragraph 7, it will hi> gathered that the total Government land in the 20 villages is 4,40J "",res assessed at Rs.6,ti51, .. nd that after .deducting 978 acres assessed at Rs. 751 representing Government arable waste nnoccupied. there remains an occnpied area. of 8,431 acres, assessed at &S. 5,880. showing an inorease over the figures of the old accounts of 938 aeree and Rs. 684 of as~ment., The statement immediately following in the report shows the total area under garden, flee land, and dry-crop, and the rates under each head.
6. It appears to the undersigned a regret .. ble omission that in the .. reporte the area of cultiTation under the three heads of rice, dry-crop, and garden land should not be shown nnder each V1lla~. There is no wo.y of judging from these papers how much of the cultivation of a .ep.rate village is rice, and how much dry-crop. or how much being waste has left room for extension of cultivation. Taking the greater portion of the 978 acres of nnoocupied.land as dry-crop, it leaves in addition to the 1,333 recorded as dry-crop a very moderate proportion of what in the Konkans i. called warkas, ana though the rates for rioe are moderate, those for dry oultivation appear rather high. Though the dry cultivation in the Btlleghllt is not 8(f completely worked out of fertility as that below the ghat, yet Colonel Anderson has me~tioned that the dry cultivation is carried on by frequent fallowing. The Collector has, however, raised jlO objeotion, and it i. presumed Colonel Aoder.on has fou!ld the small area of dry cultivation available oan bear withont difficulty the assessment imposed. , 7. In paragraph 16 of Colonel Aoderson's report will be found the re<iorded a .. ea of cultivation and the net oolleotions alter deducting permanent and temporary remissiolls in the 6·~ villages of the Sirsi Taluka, fat 20 years from 1849-511 to 1868-69.
S. From paragraph IS it will be gathered t"at the total Government land in the 64 vil1a~es is 26,537 aores assessed at Rs.,3.j,4~0, and that after deductiug 4,178 "",res assessed at Ro. 2,303, representing Government arable waste 11llO<lcupied, there remains ao occupied area of ~2.3;;9 acres ;" .. seed at Re. 38,187, shewing an increase over the 6gures of the old accounts of 8,368 acres and R •• J 0,184. of assessment. The etatement immediately following in the report .hows the total area under garden rice land and dry-crop and the rates under e8ch head. '
9. The Revenue Commissioner has no objection to the rates except that as stated r."""ding the 20, villages of Mund~"'od the dry-crop rates appear rather high, and the more 90 in" this .... 0. that their avera","'" is higher in proportion to the avetage for rice' which is a trifle lower than in the Mundgod villages.· Pel'haps Colonel Anderson antIcipates the conversion of a good deo.! of this dry·crop lalld into rioe, and if in doing this the people oan still retain sufficient drycrop land for the wallts of themselves a,nd theIr oattle, the rates may be after all sufficiently moderate.
72
10. The figures in pamgraph 21 of the rerort !nduce the Revenue Commissioner to revert to the remarks in his 6th paragraph. After deductmg from 61,563 acres of total area the-22,359 acres of occupied land and the 4.178 acres of ur~b1e nnoccupied land, the ba!ance does not correspond with the figures shown for forest as It doe., for the 20 Mundgod VIllages dIScussed in Colonel Anderson'. paragraph 9. The discrel",ncy is prnbably ca""bl. of explanation, but bad there been the details wbich are stated in paragraph 6 of this report to be desir.ble, .. test could at once have been applied.
11. In paragmph 32 the Survey and Rettlement CommillSioner explains the messnres' introduced for the ,. kans" or tracts of junlrle in 15 villages producipg toddy. p"pper, coffee aniL some other minor jnngle products. Of these r, kans" 2,614 are occupied, 613 are unoccupied.
, 12. On the subject of these "kans" which are a peculiarity of a certain part of the· Kanar~ District, the Revenne Commissioner would have .. been glad to see some remarks submitted for tbe information of Government by the Collector. It is presumed that the reviseiL .. ss.ssment on the occupiell tracts proposed brColonel Anderson is suitable, and hi. plan for offering the u!'occupieu tracts to a~lDua.1 au~tion will. prob"bly affnrd a criterion of. the~ future value. In this case also the area Included III each vIIIBI!e would not have been deVOid of IDterest. Government will observe" that from the right in these kans granted to the OjlCupant, the· timber is specially excluded. The occupant is not permitted ~o cut down a single tree."
13. Referring to pal'a/ZTaphs 9 and 21 of the Survey and Settlement Cpmmis.noner's report, . it will be observed that relative to the cultivated area, the population i. very dense. 'l'hus though including the forest land the population of the ~o village. i. only 7g per square mile, yet if that forest wh;ch is only traversed to a oertain extent under authority of the Forest Dep ·rtmeut for grazing be deducted, the population is about 30() to the squale mile· of culturable area. lSo also ,in the 64 villages of Sirsi, though if, as may be safely assumed, the total area of 61.~63 acres is correct, the average per mile is ~24 ; yet if the populatIOn per mile be calculated on the culturable area shown, that i. 22,389 acres occupieiL and 4,178 acres available for cultivation, the population of that a.rea will be about 290 per square mile.
14. Reviewing in the same way the figares in paragraph 39 of Colonel Anderson's report for 4~ villages in the Karwar 'Nluka, submitted with the Revenue Commissio"er'. merLOrandum No. 946, dated 13th March 1871, tile proportion of population for the whole area of 201 sguare miles of 54 per sq uare mile rises, by deducting the enormous fore.t area not .. vailahle for Ilultivation, to quite 500 per square mile.
15. ·There is no record for ready referenoe which '!ilI enable the Revenue Commissioner to· compare with the statistics of the Mundgod or Sirsi villa.ges those of an adjoining !aluka in Dharw4r or Mysore, but the villBl!es in th, Karwar Talukaafford a subject for rea,onable comparison.with the statistics of the Snob .. Petha of the Ral;n;giri Taluka which contains the town of Ratnagiri with. more thau 10,000 inhabitants. By reference to the survey reportssabmitted to Govel'Dment with memorandum from the undersigned, No. 693, dated 9th February 1~70, it will be seen that tbe population of the district under report was 61,624 soul., exhibiting an increase of 64 per cent. on the return rendered forty year. previously. The area of the district is roughly 28 X 18 = 5()' miles. Bllt of this the greater portion as in Kana.ra, if not forest, is useless hill side, and the area for comparison must be quite differently obtained.
16. There is not a reglll ... statement of clllturable and nncultnrable are .. for the entire 95 villages under report, but there 19 .. stat.ment of cultivated area. of rice and varkas for 21 villages in order to afford comparison with the papers of Lieutenant Dowell, who had taken the tronble to give these particul .... ; and there are ligures for the entire number of villages from which the ·area may be deduced,
17:· The tot .. 1 riel: cultivation in the 95 villages is 9,927 acres, and probably nearly on .. thousand acres more might be added for garden cultivation, but for the .ake of comparison the net cultivatitin will he taken at 10,()UO acres.
18. In p;uagraph 12 of Colonel Waddington's report the whole area of warm is stated to be 140,222 acres, of whiCh 54,246 have been deducted" 8S kbarab." This leaves 85,976 acres of· culturable warkas. The Revenue Commissioner cannot ascertain from the papers how many of these acres arc cultivated, but the assessment on the portion cultiv .. ted is entered as Rs. 15,178. In the 21 villages for which these particulars are given separatoly, the culturable area of warkas i. show.n at 13,193 BOres, or about 4 acre. of warka. to !)ne of rice and garden land, and it may be estimated that not less than forty or fifty thousand acres of the entire culturable .. rea of warkas are under cultivation •.
19. Reverting to the 85,976 acres of warkaa .. nd 10,000 acres of wet cnltivation, total 96,000 acres of cultarable land, the population will be found to be only 150 to the square mile. This particular district of Ratnagiri is held to be so thickly populated that 20 years ago Major Wingate, the head of the Sarvey Department, considereiL the distrIct too poor to support its population, and Ihe present hea.d of the"Survey Department, Northern Divi,sion, Colon~l Francis, has considered the subject snllicientl,r impoltant to !Dduce him to make some humane .. nd judioious considerations for the amelIoration of the condition of the inhabitants.
20. The saperior capa.city of the small cultarable area ii1 K'rwar to support a population so much larger than that of the over.populated district of Ral;n~ri is <loubtlesa deriveiL from
73
the great comparative exten~ and quality of ita riee cnltivation, which is far superior to any of the dry.crop of the waebed-oot soil of those regions; and the same cause enables the cultivators in Mundgod and Sirsi to pay about Rs. 2-14-0 per heed per aunnm to the land revenue, and in the 46 Karwar villages to pay Re. 3-12-0 per head per annnm, while the RatIW.giri Tdlnka ryote pay le.s than 1 rupee, as was pointed out in paragraph 6 of report. from thie offiee No. 693, dated 9th February 1870. The Karwar 46 villages have about 90 acres of rice and garden to every 100 of population; while the Ratuagiri Peths villages bave less than 20 to e,ery 100 souls, the difference being supplemented imperfectly by the large area of dry-crop.
. 21. These faeta 'will, ~he undersigned hopes, not he devoid of seme value and interest to Government. They are not mtended to throw doubt on the asseesment in which concurrenoe has already been expressed, e1cept ~ the Revenue Commiesioner would have preferred to see wbere practicable a rather larger are.. assigned for <h'y.crop cultivation and the ra'e made rather lower.
22. Tbere is, howe,er, one deduction from the facts which the Revenue Commissioner' thinks should command attention.· It does not appear probable that the peeple in the Kanara villages could largely extend their rice cultivation with advantage to themselves, a.nd at tbe iame time keep up that cultivation already in existence, but their actual village area inclusive of culturabl. waste is so small that progress in agricultural prosperity appears likely in a great measure to depend upon faeility' for grazing in the neighbouring forests, so as to keep up as large a stock as possihle of cattle for agricultural purpose., and for manure, without which neither rice nor any other production will come to perfection. In the same way a liberal treatment of the oiiltivator. as regards wood for their houses, for agricultural implements, and firewood, and especially in allowing "Betta" for the spice gardens in Sirsi, should be exercised by the Survey and Forest Departments.
23. Adverting to paragraphs 2 to " of Mr. Shaw-Stewart'. covering report, the Revenue Commissioller does not quite understand what real grounds of difficulty existed at the time of writing. Copy of letter f.wm the undersigned to Colonel Anderson, No. 5479. dated 2nd December 1871, is appended. If the Collector had availed himself of the permission accorjed in Government Resolution No. 4908, dated 2nd October 1871, to postpone collections of the 1st instalment until 15th Fehruary 1871, there would appear to have been sufficient time to obtain the requi.ite sanotion of Government on Colonel Anderson'. detailed report, which is now submitted withont delay for consideration. '
24. Adyerting to clause 3 of the remarks included in paragraph 5 of Mr.Shsw·Stewart's reports, the Revenue Commissioner cannot pretend to 'so1ve the intricacies of the KaDar&. Bijwarri assessment. It certainly does not appear likely that the Madras Government ever took as a cash assessment one·third the value of the crop, and though Colonel Anderson'. proportion of A th value of the crop represented by his proposed assessment is quite logical! y deduced from his figures, the Revenue Commissioner ventures to think in the interests of Government that' this estimate is rather nnder-drawn, and th!,t the assessment really represents a suitable proportion between the two edrame. of about !th or !th falling above and below IIOcording to varying circumstances and varying seasons.
25. The question of the snits referred to in clause 4 of paragraph 5 of the Collector's letter has heen alread,)' hefore Government, who have ruled in Resolution No. 5136, dated 14th Ootober 1871, the mode in whioh they should be defended against actions at law. Adverting to the latter part of paragraph 2 of the asid Resolution, the inquiry as to the power of the Collector of Kans.ra to issue the Cowl (Suit No. 18) in Fasli 1233, or the extent to which the laid Cowl and similar ones may he respected by Government, does not appear to have been finally decided, hut it is preBUmed such oases need not interfere "ith the general settlement, bllt can be treated on their separate marits as brought to notice.
26. A reply from the Collector, it will be seen, is still awaiteJ on the oomplaint r~garding the way in whioh the grazing landso£ the large village of Hanvashi were iO\d to individnals at the settlement of 1870. Colonel Anderson'. proposals do not appear to treat of the subject of grazing ground. apart from the forest in whioh, it is understood, most of the grazing in Kanara i. inoluded.

Tn CHIEF SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, Revenue Department.
S_,.,,"Y Oommiarion",,', Office, LlMO; Diatrictl, • .J.lm.z", 918t January 1813.
B~ ~ I have the hODour to forward the following proposals for the revision of assessment in
thirty.nine (39l vill..g.s of the Sirsi T'luka, into sixty-four villages of which taluka the settlement was introduced' in 1869-70 and reported on in detail in my jetter No. 13f>8 of the 6th Deoembel' 1871. The rates of assessment there explained received the final sanction of Government by Resolution ~ o. 1275, dated 19th March 1872.
2. The thirty-nine (39) villages, the revision of the assessment of which is now in question, are contiguous to those the rates in which Were sanctioned by Government as stated above. A map in which the villages already settled and also tho.e the subject of this Jetter are shown is appended. The thirty-nine (39) villages now under report are, it will be leen, situated on the whole to the westward of the villages already settled; they are intersected by, or are in the immediate vicinity of, the great high road from Hubli to Sirsi and Kumta, or its branches, one divergin~ to Harihar and communicating with the tqwn of Hangal and all the louthern part of the Dhilr .... r Collectorate, and the other with the market town of Banvashi: .
8. The tract under discussion extends up to within two miles of the eastern side of the' town of Sirsi ; one village .... ooain is situated to the west of Sirsi, bnt at no great distance from the road to Kumpta. ;.t'he town of Sirsi bas not been measured yet. Measuring operations n8l1ol" this place we .. stopped about three years ago in consequence of the whole of the establishments employed there falling sick, though in previons years they had not been especially unhealthy. I have not thought it expedient to proceed with measuring in that vicinity since, preferring to employ the available men for the present in other parts where their services are at least as ,much. requir8il, and.where a b.etter repute for healthiness exists for the time.
4. A~ regards communications these villages have all great advantages. None a7e at any great distanoe from a high road, and many of them are either close to, or a.ctuaJly intersected by, one. There i. a large transit of tratlic on all the.e roads, especially that between Hubli and the coast. Finally, there are'lar~ markets available at Sirsi and Banvashi, besides minor markets of less. importance, within easy I'each. As regards rice and snpari, however, the people are to a great extent independent of markets, as dealers in those articles generally peregrinate the country at the proper ..... on and buy at the producer'~ own doors. Accessibility of a village is, however, evidently an ad vantage, as preventing ao. und.ue lowering of prices from want of oompetition. . ,
S. 'rhe tract of villages under di&eussion is essentially .. rioe and garden country. The dry-crop lands are of inferior consequence, pr0dncing none of the hetter kinds of grain; ragi is the only food grain oldinarily met with; a small quantity of kulti, til (sesamum) and castor-oil seed is grown in addition. Dry.crop lands are ordinarily fallowed in some ""se., it is etated, every third year, in 80me in alternate years, 'but in other cases the people deny that they f"llow, at all. The fact is that it is a question of manuring or not-without manTng fallows are necessary to restore the &oil, with it they are not neoessary. _ • •
• 6. The fall of rain, as generally' in North Kotnara:, is abundant, and the rice land. art,even productive when depending on direot r&infalland drainage from higher lands. In low moist situation. and under tanks a crop of sugarcane is obtained in rotation off rice lands, as is nsual in the adjocent rice country in Dha,war, and a second crop of pulSit is obtainable off l]>nd of this kind when sugarcane is not gro'!'n.
7. In the villages approaching Siroi and abont and to the we3t of Islur snperior garden cultivation lIourish... Supari, cocoanuts, and black pepper all grow to perfection. This land is watered pertly from tanks and partly from the natlIral moisture in \he low situations in which the best gardens are ordinarily met with.
8. All these villages were measnred in the survey of about 1824, SO fur as regarded the cui.ti~ vated lands and lands fit for, cultivation, both wet land and dry-orop, but no revision of asse .. -ment was attempted in any of these villages, as was done in part of the Mundgod MaMI and in a portion of the villages of Sirsi already BOttled. The old assessment remained in foroe ; it V<&B snpposed to be placed entirely on the wet land, every c!Ultivator of which had the privilege of oultivating, if he choss, BOme dry land without an~ additional or lpecial assessment on it. Such land was celled" Hukul" and" Knmuki hakul: 'A similar system of assessing the wet laud ouly existed before the survey settlement in the adjacen~ t.uukas <If pharwru-, and is also
•
76
common in all the adjacent part~ of ;My-:Ol'e before the introduction of th~ survey settl~ment. This." Hnkul" system was abohshed by th0 Col!ector of North KAnara 1U 1868·69, and t.he collection of a separate assessment on dry land dIrected. In case. of new land of any descl1ption being required for cultivation, it was inspected and measured by a k .. rkun oalled a Revenue Inspector, and a rate proposed similar to that prevailing in adjacent lands, which rate was lubject to the confirmation of tbe Collector.
9. 1'he .. ssessment was entirely on the wurg or !chateh, though here the survey of 1824 allowed the identification of the situation 'and legitimate area of the lands of eMh wllrg. It has never been the practice in KAnam to allow resignations of parts of wurg8; 0' this point the greatest· strictness prevailed from early times of British rule, induced by the fear of losing hold of the small existing tangible means of identifying lands and holdings, and thns affording evident additional fa.cilitiel for fraud, for w\en the ... se",meut was in the lump on the whole lDurg or !chateh, who was to tell that the rednction of .... essment granted for resigned land represented in any degree the fair share of the land resigned? Consequently the practice in Nor11h Kanera has been from the first to accept resignations of whole wurg' or of nothing at all. .
10. The following statement shows.the recorded area of occupied laM, the' permanent Bnd casual remissions, and the' actual collections for the last twenty-one years. No separate data for the respective weas of gerden, riee, and dry-crop land are stated to be available :-

. 11. The fir.t point to be noticed in this statement is the absence during late years of the fluctuations in the figures of area and collection which may be found in most districts except Jean ..... : In 1851-52, acres 4,687 appear ae occupied and Rs. 6,651 as collected; in 1861-tl2, &ere. 4,935 appear as occupied and ~s. 7,385 as collected; in thes. ten years a small inerease under both heads was efleeted, and a reduction under the head of remissions; 1871-72 shows acres 4,951 as oooupied and Rs. 7.523 as collected_n increase of acres 16 in the ooonpied area Bnd Rs, 138 in the realized revenue during the decade. The·increase of revenue, smalIas it is, evidently dates from about 11168.69, and·is probably due to the partial carrying ont the Collector's orders, alluded to in paragraph 8 above, for bringing all dry-<lrop land actually • cult;~ated u.nd~.ment.
, 12. It'may be readily supposed t~t beyond the "';'ord of the amonnt actually collected. Ute figures in the above statement are not to be trusted. The revenue accounts for lR71·72 .howed acres 41,951 as actaally occupied; .he rsturns made oilt at the time of . the clas:sification in the very ~e ,.,~ giving the following ;esult as regards land hi. occupation-,o

77 13. Fdr these villages I propose to. ado}lt rates precisely similar tp those' already intro
duced into the adjacent villages, as stated in my letter No. 135S of the 6th December last, pa. ragrsphs 12 to 16. For thirty-two (82) villages well situated as regards communications, I propose a maximum of Rs. 5 for rice and Re. 1 for dry·crop ; this results in an average ~.sessment in these villages on the occupied rice and dry-crop. respectively, of Rs. 2-7-5 and Re.O-S-4 ..
14. Seven villages I propose to put in .. lower class, in consequence of their being less favoumbly situated as re!!ards communications. For these villages I propose a maximum in rice land of R •. 4-S-0 and in dry-crop of Re. 0-14-0. The maximum rates on rice aud dry-crop land proposed bere for these seven (7) villages of Ro. 2-6-11 in rice land and Re. O-S-O in dry-crop.
15. For the garden lands I propose a m~nm rate of Rs. 14. This higbest rate will only be met witb in the western villageo near Islur and Sirsi ; there we first begin to meet with the highest class of garden cultivation in perfectioD. cocoanuts, oupAri. and pepper. In the first class villages the average garden rate amounts to Ro. 11-15-5 per acre, and in the second cl ... s villages to Rs. lO-S-S. Tbis rate is undouhtedly a very * moderate one; a very much higher rate could be borne,88 explained in paragraphs 31 and 32 of my letter No. 1358 of the 6th December 18il. in reference to the r,art of this taJuka previously settled. Very low rates of assessment have prev~led in these viI ages hitherto, and tbe present rates will give a very large increase of revenue. Considerations of expediency, therefore, poiut plaiuly to the adoption or very moderate rates now in the revision. '.

19. The Revenu.e Commissionor in paragraph 6 of bis memor~n.Jum No: ~7 of the 5th January last, relating to my ".port, on the p,'ol'o~ed settl-ment of thi~ pa~ of Srrs. Taluk .. , remarks that he considers the dry-"rop rates rat her h.goh, and appears to Imagme that the land in question assimilates to that " .. l,ed ,. Varkas" in the Thana and Ratnagiri Collectorates. This is, I apprebend, a mi.take. Tl}",e .dry"crop land., in this part ~ North Kanara, are regularly plou~hed and cultIvated, as dry-crop la"t.! ,. el,ewhere; but, as IS I18MI near the ghats, everywLere fallows more 0)' less frequl'Dt al'e under ordina.ry cultivat.ion necessary; manure will enable fallows to be dispensed witl., and it is just a question witb tbe cultiv .. tor in sucb trocts, wbich is most practica ble and most .d vantageous, to gIve alternate or triennial fallow. or to use manure freely. As a rule, it pays b""t to apply all available mauure to the. rice lands, but a careful man may easily acquire a supply of manure sufficient for his rice lands and to spare, for leaves are everywhore procuraJlle at no gorea. <listance, and the vicinity ilf several great high roads with a constant stream of draft and pack cattle going along them fat many months of everi year, accumulates, at every halting place a large quantity of dung. "
20. The lands called "Varkas" in Thana and Ratnagiri could never, except by an extraordinary application of labour, be turned to any other purpose than they are devoted to at present; the population is so dense in the;e p:,rts ".nd the struggle for existence so great, thst all available spots have beeulnng ago converted ~to ~ce lands, In Kanara ahove the ghats the circumstances are very dIfferent; the populatIOn IS very sparse, and has been much more sparse in past times; for many years after the commencement of t.he British rule, except round certain centres of population, the country was almost a desert, and ,. not far removed from that condition now in many of the. more remote parts. Lan~ fo~meI"ly . at so~e remo~ time cultivated with rice may be seen WIth the traces of terrar:es stIll distmgwshable ill the mIddle of the fn~est, and waste rice land fully available for cultIvatIon everywhere to a greater or less extent elUsts. Much of the dry-crop land conld he turned into rice by no great expenditure of Iabonr in terracing a.!'d leading the drainage from higher land npon it.
21. At the close of paragraph 6 of the memorandum under nptice, the Reveuue Commissioner remarks :-
• " It is pr~sumed Colonel Anderson has found the small area of dry cultivation available can bear without difficulty the assessment imposed." .
I certainly had sud have no doubt that the assessment proposed is both not ouly fair, but most moderate, or I should not have proposed it, and this opinion is based on the settlement of the ghat districts from Kanara up to the Poona Collectorate, excluding those of Kolhapur, which we have not reached as yet.
22. 'rhe Revenue Commissioner further remarks in paragraph 6 of his memorandum No. 47 of the 5th January last, that he considers it a regretable omission that the area of cultivation under the three heads of rice, dry-crop, and garden should not be shown under each village. I did not show this in detail, but only in the IrrJss on the whole villages concerned, hecause it has never been the practice in settlement reports to enter into such detailed information, neither hav~ I ever seen one yet in which it was entered into. I do not now see what object wonld be gained by doing so. It is impossible to enter into every detail within that moderate compass within which, it may reasonably be expected, a report should be contained.
23. It might be different if the report referred to one of the plain talnkas, comprising a few villages, one of which would often have an equal revenue and population to th~ whole 8) now under Iiotice, and the assessment of a single survey field would equal that of some entire village in K"nara. Some reliance must be placeJ upon the discretions of the officers appointed to conduct operations of this kind, and a minute and exhaustive entering into every petty detail down to tbe very bottom can be of no nse.
24. I have, however, now in the list of villages appended to this letter shown the area of every description of land in each, both cultivated aud waste, as,the best means of showing that no really usoful infoTDIation will be afforded to Government by such a statement, from which indeed, without entering into further explanation, a deceptive view may be Conveyed. It must be noted, as the map will sbow, that the vilb.ges are in part. very close together, and the arable land. of one village will ofteu, some of them, be nearer another village than to that in which it is territOli .. ll,r include?-., ~hns waste land"in one village would ofte.n.be ~ore naturally taken up by a cult.vator resIdmg lD another VIllage rather than by one resIdmg m the village to which the land territorially belonged. Therefore, the exteut of arable assessed waste appsaring in tbe papers of any village woul~ give very little idea as to whether it was most readily available to that village or to some adjacent one,
25. Moreover, the extension of oultivation is not .. point of prime interest in North K'nara, as it is elsewhere; all land which is not cultivated and is fit for cultivation is forest, and is not unproductive by any mea,ns ; the policy of looking for any DlJIoteriai extension of cultiva_ tion at the expense of the forest.;s distinctly disavowed by Government Resolution No. 1681 of the 27th April 1868, paragraph 15.
26. In K'naI'B, the Surveyors' orders are to measure off into numbers for cultivation all land which is occupied at present, whether wet or dry, aU waste rice iand in which terraces are visible, and all open land rontiguous to occupied lands. }'or the present, there is, as a rule, no
79
demand for new land for occupation. The available laud is above the oultivating po~er of the . country, reduood 89 it has boon by the fever which prevailed so virulently 80me eight (8) or nine (9) years ago, and a.Il traces of which ha~e not passed a,,:ay even y.t; tbe indi~enous. popnl ... tion indeed appears to be, on the whole, little affected by It, but people from outsIde still sulIer much.
27. I have DO doubt that in a few yesrs there will be a call for some additional lands to be broken lip into Survey numbers a~d regularly cl~ed and assessed. There will b. no .difficulty in doing this. whenever it is reqUIred to be done, In the course of the next few yesrs, and there
. are I know, in many parts lands which might be so broken up into numbers without detrimeut to the forests. To make many more Suvey aSlle'sed numbers now than are absolutely required, would be waste of time and money. We cannot get on with tpc Survey of the occupied lands as fast by any meanS as we could desire, from the limited portion of the year available fOI' field work and from the Survey establishments constantly falling sick. To devote now any portion of the available time to w .. ste land, whioh may be required at some future time. would be to diminisb progress by so mnch in the occupied land and to saddle Government with the trouble and expense of keeping up the boundary marks in this land till it is required· for occupation. .
28. Regarding the rates proposed for dry-erop laud in the part of Sirsi settled last year, which rates were precisely <the same a6 those now proposed for other village. of the same Mluk .. the Revenue Commissioner remarks, in paragraph 9 of his memorandum No. 47 of the 15th J;nuarylast :-" The dry-crop rate. appear rather high, and the more so in this CO$O (the Sir.i village.) that their average i. higher in proportion to the avel'age for rice which is a trifle lower than in Mnndgod." ~'he following are the figures referred to:-

Mundgod ... ... ... 20 2 7 ' 6 0 7 9
Sir'; ... " . ... ... 39 2 3 2 0 8 2
29. The bearing of the .. bove remark would appear to be tbat because the average rate on rice land in Sirsi is less than in Mundgod, the average I'ate on dry-crop might be expected to he leo. 0.100. But in this the quality of land; •• deduced from the classification. io overlooked; from the figures above it must be inf.rrcd that the average quality of the Sir'; ricecland was a trifle wor •• than in Muudgod, and that of the dry-crop land a little better. In 'this there is no inconsistency whatever; rice-land derives much the greater part of its va.Iue from the watersupply. _ud not from the quality of the soil; and as'this water-supply has no connection whatever with the data on which the dry-crop soil is valued, there is nothing in any way remarkable in tile valuation of rice and dry-crop lands in two adjacent talullas, or villages even, not bearing the sam. relative proportion, notwithstan,ling that the same maximum rate is applied in both c •• e.. The existence of even .. few more tanks in one case than in the other would be sufficient to alter tbe proportional taluation, even asBuming that the dry-cl'op land and the soil of the rice-l .. ud was of identically the same average quality in both cases.
. . 30. I would, however. reqnest attention to the figures of average rates shown in the
preceding paragraph. The difference is very small indeed. In the dry-crop laud the differeuce is five (5) only; and the maxima being Re.l and Re .0.14-0, the difference will correspond almost exactly wi' h the classification valuation or classers anuas; now five (5) pies represents a little less than one-quarter of the difference between two classes; our classification, as every one acquainted with it knows, is not a scientific operation, the result of which is attained with infinitesimal accuracy, or is to be ~udged with mathematica.l certainty" it only pretends to be a practical mode of attaining a fair relative va.Iuation of lands. Even supposing that the dry-orop lands in the villages of the two talukas settled last year were identical in qnality, a difference in assessment of five (5) pies .per acre appears but a minute base on which to snpport an opinion of assessment being-high or low. .
81. Having now endeavoured to vindicate the justice of the dry-crop land ....... ment, I may return to tbe gener,.] question of the settlement of these 89 villages.
32. It will be observed that the inerea.<e of revenue derivable from the proposed rates o"u the occupied arca is considerably greater than it was in the 64 villages of Sirsi reported on last year; in that case, the increase was from Rs, 23,003. to Rs. 33,187, or 44 per cent. in the present instance it is from Rs. 7,:;23 to He. 15,457, or 106 per cent .. The villages are'similar in position; the maximum rates adopted in either Case are the same. and the averages differ but by a small trifle; therefore, there can be no .....,on for any hesitation in adopting the assessment proposed, if the standiug principle in the sl1rvey of like productive advantages bearinoo like assessments be adhered to, especially in villages adjacent to one another. ..
80
83 Thele is no doubt that the old ""sessment on the 39 ,i11a~es nnd." report i. clelrly lower than the old assessment was ill the 6' villages previously settled; this the following figures will show:-

The old assessment in the 39 villages is thus a fractioll less, namely, 7 pies less per acre all over, but the proportion Qf lowly assessed dry"crop land i. much leso in proportion to the more highly assessed pce and garden land in the 3~ villl'ges than in the 64; in the latter the two al'tl nearly eqnal, ill the forlller the proportions are a little over three parts rice and garden to two parts dry-crop.
34. A somewhat cloEer idea of the comparative old a.sessment in the two sets of villagee may b'e gained by deducting the dry-crop land !,ssessment at a uniform moderate .. rate l"'r acre, say 8 aunas; the figures will then stanil thus ,-

Authorities in abont 1822-28, as explained in paragraphs 23 to 211 of my letter reporting on the 64 vi!lages, No. 1368 of the 6th December 1871.

35. There is very great inequality in the old assessment of different villages. In exempli. fication of this. I seleet six (6) villages, where the increase is small in comparison with what is found in other as follows :-

37. It i. Impo.sIble to explalD lD any satisfactory way the cau.e for such great ditlerences in the old assessment; there is certainly somewhat more than the average amount of excess of actual occllpied area over that recorded. but by no m~ans sufficient to .. ccount for the lowness of the old .. ssessment. It can only .. rise from the excessive corruption of the old accounts, which we find constantly alluded to in .. ll the correspondence relating to Kanam. The shanbhogs were, as a rule, omnipotent, .. nd the whole revenue administr .. tion rested on them, with little means of check. This being the Ilndoubted case. it is not wonderful that extraordinary anomalies in ....... ment .hould come to light. At the time of the settlement itself it often happens that .omething can be ascertained from the people present towards accounting for .. ny· exh .... ordinary high or low old .... essmcnt~.' ' '. "
38. I would, however, remark that similar results .. re by no m""ns nnprecedented iii North KIlnara, even in the adjac.nt MundO'od M .. hIll. At paragraph 35 of my letter No. 296 of 23rd April 1867, it is shown that of the seventy·one village. settled in 1866·67. theas,e88ment on the ocoupied land in 48 village., in which the Madr ... revision of 1824 was not introduced, wa. raised by our survey from Rs. 14,777 to as:29,747, while in the 23 contiguons villages the 8sses.ment, ... revised and fixed by the Madras Authorities in their survey of 1820--25, was Rs. 7,538, and the ~s8.sment of ou~ survey w ... Rs. 7,338. .
39. In the H .. liyal Division of the Supa TIlluk .. it is shown, in paragraph 51 of my letter No. 442 of Slet December 1864, that the old .... essment of the occupied land of the !O villages there reported on was Rs. 12,406 and the anrvey .. ssessment w ... Rs. 23,489. ,At paragraph 55 of the same report it is ahown that the old assessment, of thirty .. one villages then nported on was Rs. 9,884, and the smvey .... essment of the same wa. R •. 16,503. Not a single petition was made ag .. inst the survey rate. of assessment in Mnndgod or Hallylll ; not .. suit was filed to c .. ll in question the jnstice of the reassessment, and the people have entirely declined to join in the agitation against the snrvey assessment which originated in 1870 in the K~rw'r Tll.luka.
40. It may be further added that veJ:Y large incr .... e. of assessment, in many cases approaching to 100 per cent., were not uncommon in the villages in DMrwar and Belganm, settled from fifteen to twenty .. five years .. go, bordering on .. nd similar in chameter to those of North KI1nam. In all part. of the country, too, in villages here and there in a taIuka, ,the old asss.s .. ' ment was very much increased. notwithstanding that on the average of the whole th.re w ... either a reduction, or but" modemte percentage increase. The peculiar f""tme in settlements in K Rnara .. bove the ghat. is that the extreme lowness of the old .. ssessment i. general, and therefore the, increase, though differing in p.rcent&.,ooe mte, is still an incre .... everywhere.
41. What is here .said regarding villag •• applies with even greater force to individual holdings, for though the total assessment of a whole village waS d.creased, it. very rarely occurred that considerable increase did not occur on singl~ holdings of th .. t village; extreme ineqnality of ... sessment before the settlement w ... the rule and not th.' exception. But ev.n in Kanara the increase of assessment in a village does not fall equally on each ocoupant in that village l as a rul., the old .... essm.nt was light or oven nominal, according to the position of the person concerned for obviouB reasons, even in the case of very large inc ....... on an entire village It often happens, that the poorer .lass of cultiv .. tor occupant. have their asse.sment. much reduced. .
42. ' We h .. ve at present had bllt little to do with the more remote and out-of.the .. way part. in North Kanam; it is there that the mo.t extraordinary anomali.. will be met with. We found one. village, Landeh, in the Kll.rw.tr T~luka containing oeonpied land acres 89 .. 31 of rice land, oores 0 .. 17 of garden land, .. nd acres 18·32 of dry .. crop land, total oecnpied land Iocr .. 109, bearing a total old assessment of Rs. (5) five a year l thi~ was raised by the survllY .. t a very modemte rating to .. total of Rs. 222 .. year. A case,of this kind could only haveooollrred through that I;!ioss corruption of the accounts in past tim •• whioh we know to have been the rul. in North Kllna.... The village of PM, among those of the subject of this letter, is in some degree a .imilar case; the old total ..... s.ment is Rs. SO, while the new total is Rs. 204-thia

82
village contaitrin", occupied land, scree 16 of lioe land, acres of garden 14, and acre. 23 of dry-crop, total fifty-three (53) ·acres of oocupied land •. l.have strong reason to believe that as we proceeded into the more sequestered lims of the distnct we 0~a11 come on, what may he called, whole villages totally unrecorded In the aocounts and paymg no revenue whatever to Government.
43. I have appended to this letter .. statement of prices of rice for twenty (20) years antecedent to 1870, as returned by the Sirsi Mlimlatdar, and corresponding statements for the towns of Hangal, Yellapur, Bankli.pnr,Kalgbatgi, Hubli. and Dharwar, as far as dot .. were procurable; ~he second, thil:d, and fourth ).'~s are all within 5~ ~es of Sirsi, and the two last within 70 mlles. The pnoes of nachm IS also shown for SUOI, Yellapur, and Hangal, no record existed for other places .• Tbe prioe of thi. grain, as shown for SirsL in 1868 and 1869, is barely one-tbird of that of the other two places, I therefore cannot help mistImting the Sirsi retnrn. For all markets the quantities have been reduced to one uniform measure. The prices for the two last years I have, not at hand. The figures for this statement were obtained for the report on the 64 villages on which the standard of assessment for this taluka was fixed. 1· cannot say that I place implicit relianoe on any of ther.e price retorns ohtained from the Mll.mlatdars; for, on comparing the prices for the same year for places at a few days' journey apart, great inconsistencies are apparent, of course differences of 20 or 30 per cent. may oceor at times; but I m~ch doubt if d!fleren~ of 100 and 2.00 ~er cent. il?- t~e average price. of a year are likely to occur In places on duect lines of commumcatlOn, and Wltbm a few doya' reach of one another.
44. I note the following instances of what appear very anomalouS quotations in returns of prices of rice wI'nished to me from places at no great distance from Sirsi:_

Prices of. rice might be expected to range a little lower at Sirsi and YeU.pur than at H~al, and lD fact they do so range in twelve (12) years of the twenty (20) of the retorn, while for two yeaM dota are deficient for drawing any comparison; but that the enorm~us diJIer~nces sho.wn. above ~ve! really existed, except perhaps during some most temporary ?oojunctore, "! not WIthin the limits of probability. The retnrns for each plaoe have been formshed for three Slmultaneons dates in each year, and forthe three kinds of rice-best, middling and worsta general average has been strock over all to attain the average price of the year.
45 .. '~any circumstances combined in former times to produce great variations in prices. co!"nlOrucatl~n Was very slow in every sense of the word, and enterprise was dormant; " " glut" mIght occur In. one place while scarcity prevailed in another at no great distance, and might, too, last for some tIme .before the transfer of produce necessary to bring prices to their natoral level was effected, bot CIrcumstances are now widely dill'erent in most localities, Hangaland Sirsi are marked cases; they !,re but 25 miles apart ; there is abundance 'of carriage always available at both place~, ~nd d~ng a considerable part of the year empty or partially laden oarts pass thro'1h SUS1, hllvmg come up the ghat on their return to Hobli, Hangal, and llankapor, and waul. be ;avallable to .ca~ry gr,,!n at a very low rate.. Therefore, a permanent great. differe!'ce of pn~es In these places IS now Impossible in regard to so generaUy marketable an artlc~e as nee •
. ~n ar,tIcles of prodo~ Inore bulky and of less value it is evident that much greater dIfferences In pl1ce are compatIble with reason. Still it must be eXCeEdingly doubtful, if ii is possible that
See ot.tement ap dod nachoi could be twenty-six (26) seers for the ropee through ." 1~69. • pen. year year at Sirsi and seveoty-five seers per ropee in Hangal; at thIS
rate R •. 10 worth of nachni at Sirai. forming a light cart-load, would fetch Re. 29 in Hangal, and the cost of transport would be but two days' cart hire.
~6. Of one point there can be no doubt, namely, that a very great rise in prices has taken place. In the last 20 years. I have CIllculated the average price of rice, the staple grain of the dIstrict, on all the markets shOwn in the appended statement for the first four y.ars from 1851 to 1854 i~clu~ve, and the same for the las1; four yesr_the general average for the first four year~ penod IS 26 'seer~ per rupee, and for the last similar period 9 seers per rupee. This may, I think, be taken as fairly representing the average increase, and from this we may deduce that, •
83
with even doubled aSseesment, the land-holder is so far Vnproved in position that· a minute fraction over two-thirds of the portion of the produce in rice reqaired twenty years ago to meet the Government demand will BOW meet it, even though double the former amount.
47. In paragraph 24 of his memorandum No. 47 of the 5th Jan~ry last on the report on the 64. villages, the Revenue Commissioner etatee as follows :-" The Revenne Commissioner cannot pretend to solve the intricaciee of the K'nara Beejwaree "'Bessment. It eertainly does not appear likely that the Madr ... Government ever took, as a cash assessment, one-third of the value of the crop, aad thoogh Colonel Anderson's proportion of one-ninth of the value of the crop represented by his proposed assessment is quite logically deducted from the figures, the Revenue Commissioner venture. to think, in the interests of Government, that this estimate is rather under-drawn, and that the assel",ment really represents a suitable proportion between the two extremes of about one-fifth or one-sixth faIling above and below, aooordiug to varying circumst;a.nces and varying seasons. JI •
48. The Rovenue Commissioner, in the eommencement of the above quotation, alludea to the intricacies of the KAnara Beejwaree .... essment. But no allusiou whatever occnrs either il.l the letters of the Collect.or or in my letter to the Beejwaree assessment or any system having any relation to it. The ancient Beejwaree assessment system was that of assessing land according to the quantity of seed required to sow it. For instance, a knndee
Printed lotten on Revenue Ad. of land was an amount of land requiring one kundee of seed to mlnistrat.ion of XAn .... pago 166; sow it. What was alluded to was the .ystem of assessment paragrapbo 5-6. worked at the Msd.·as revision botween 1820 and 1825. The assessment was distinctly stated in the correspondence of the time to have been determined as follows :- .
.. One-third of thp gross produce ascertained by actual reaping and measurement converted into money at equitable and moderate rates was assumed as the future moneY'
.assessmpnt." , . Nothing can be plainer than these words that sach a reaping of crops did bke place
is not forgotten in the district, and the fact of tbe incidence of the old assessment on the land bears out the statement that approximately some such· system of assessment was . adopted.
49. We have further evidence that in those times an assessment originally based on the Page 14J5 Iettera on Ronnne equivalent of close on one-third of the gross produce was
Admini,t. of X4n_ po_ considered moderate; for Mr. Read, Collector of Kllnara, in sraph 2'1. . 1814 wrote that the assessment did exceed one-third of the gross produce, and proposed that" the assessment should be limited generally to 30 per cent. Slf the gross produce," and at page 80, paragraph 15, it i8 stated tbat tbe average Sirkar assessment on grain lands in Kllnara is as high as 36 per cent. of their gross produce. Subtenants in North Kanara, and generally in other parts of the country, rent lands from the superior holder under Government at one-half the gross produce in kind, the remaining half forming the cultivators' sole ·return. It is plain, therefore, that it would be possible for an asses~ment 16B per cent. lower to be ex~ted by the State direct from the cultivators any improvement in their condition is put entirely on one side.
50. The Revenue Commissioner further hopes that, in the interest/! of Government, the assessment really represents a suitable proportion between the two extremes of about one-fifth or one·sixth. I should be 80rry to suppose that Our assessments in KAnara represent on ordinary land so high a proportion of the gross produce, and have every reason to believe that they do not do "0 under ordinary average cultivation, which is, of course, . wbat we have to consider. Wilat figures we have do certainly bear out my view, and I have little doubt that further experiments on crop prqdoce now instituted will confirm it. The circumstances of North Kanara are special, and a very low standard of assesament is called for; but, under ordinary circumstances, an assossment represen~ing about one-si"th of the gross produoe of fair ol'dinarr land under ordinary cultivation would, doubtless, be mo.~ moderate and just on both s.des, and, in view of recent discussions bearing on this suhject, I am ·glad to see that the Revenue Commissioner has given so elear and decided ao opinion liS to what he oonsiders just to the State. , .
Cll. The forest and grazing question alone remains to be notieed. These heads are alluded to at paragraph 26 of the Revenue Commissioner's memorandum, so frequently alluded to, on the settlement of the 64 villages. The grazing privileges are distinctlY' fi~ed aud reoorded at the time of the actual settlement, which in the present instance is in the futul'e, when that time comes the practice followed throughout ,the settled parte of K'nara above the gMts is proposed to be adhered to as follows:-The wood and timber in the forest portion is plaoed entirely under the control of the Forest:'Department; grazing on the most; liberal so..!e is awarded free to the villages in these forest lands; if the quantity of forest land i. moderate, free grazing in the whole is given to the villages; if the qualltity is excessive, as it i. in parts of :North Kltnara, though not generally in the part of the Sirsi l'aIuka under report, a most liberal allowance is made exclusively to. the villagers from the lands most conveniently sitllated for them, and 'the grazing of the remainder recorded as to be sold by auction.· "
52. • The limits of free grazing land are always clearly defined by natural or artificial houndary marks. In every ease the settlement of grazing recorded in the settlement
84
register is aceompanied with Ii remark that the assignment so made is in foree till Governmen~ see fit to change it. This isoto p~event any difficulty arising from any assertion of property in this land for grazing purposes having been acquired by the community, which at some future ~ime might prove inconvenient. Regarding the amount of free grezing' . given in KAnara, there c!an be ·no ground of complaint. Liberal treatment in this respect bas been enjoined from the first. lind has certainly been accorded.
53. The case of the complaint about the supposed Banv .... i grazing lands, au.o referred to in paragraph 26 of the Revenue Commi .. ioner'. memorandum, did not refer to grazing Janda at all-properly 80 called. The land in qnestion was of the kind called" hnkol .. or dry-crop land, measured np into Survey numbers and dulyasaeased, some of which had been taken up at the settlement by certain individual., who stated that they had at SOme previous time coltiv.ated it. The people of the village were divided into two parties, as is not nncommon; those who had not taken up any of this land endesvoured to make a public ques~ion of it, and petitioned on the ground of it having been common grazing ground, which was not the case. Some Snrvey numbers near the village entrance were given at the settlement free to the .. mage; but the petitioners wanted. alliO to take away from the per_ sona above alluded to the Survey numbers they.had taken up. 'The land in queation was of very liUle nae for grazing purposes, of which there was a large quantity of excellent quality on the other side of the .. illsge and close to it across the River Wurda, which is there small and rarely, if ever, impassable by cattle. The upshot of the whole was that--after considerable eorrespondence on the Collector's recommendation, I believe-the petition was dismissed. ad the arrangements regarding free grazing made at.~he settlement hy me were confirmed. '
54. I only allnde to the abovl.' petition in this letter, which should be confined to the discussion of the settlement of the villages nnder report. aa it is included by the Revenne Commi~oner with the general subject of grazing privileges in this talnka • .and may suggest the Idea that somo case. at any rate occur in which due liberality is not practised. It is the firat and last complaint bearing on the subject that I can call to mind.
55. The privileges of the villagers in relation to wood for domestic purposes form 110 part of the survey settlement; these matters are under the Forest Department, and as far as I am aware, are ~eaIt with in the most liberal spirit. '
"". . "~~. "Betta" laud.;"r ai3b:!:!""ellts ,,! j!!:;;;le ·i .. ild •• attached to gardens are dealt
with under Government Resolntion No. 664 of 15th February 1869, each garden receiving a defined assignment free of any special assessmeJli; on the land. In some inatanees the assignments b .... e not yet been made and defined in consequence of the measurer'. falling sick .. bile engaged on this duty. In such cases the garden cultivator continues on his old cuotomary enjoyment of betta till the assignment can be made, which is done at the earlie..t opportunity.
57. Regarding the "Kans," or patches of very thick jungle ordinarily roond or nesr village sites, whielt aloe exist abundantly in the Belgaum gMt districts under the name of " Rai," and are not nnlmown in all gMt districts. the well-known dense patch of jungle at Linovli is one. Regarding these patches of dense jungle, I can say nothing more in the way of description than is said in paragraph 33 of. my letter. rega~d~g the 64. villages of this taluka, and propose at the settlement to deal WIth them m a SImilar mode to that there detailed. A regular classification of soil is evidently here unsnitable; the vaJue of the kana depends more on the existing stock of toddy-trees and wild pepper vines and some other minor articles of jungle produce than on the bare soil. Many are held in permanent occupation on a certain .annual assessment; others are sold by auction annually. The only course open or desirable is to fix some moderate assessment on all in proportion to apparent area and capabilities, oonfirming the present occupants where they are willing to continue to hold, as they always, or almost al ways. are. anti recordiog the remainder as to be put up to auction aunually, until lOme one is willing to teke tbem up permanently on the assessment fixed. The usufruct i. st~ctly confined to the wild prodncts, and any right whatever over the timber specially reserved.

The Revenue. ~l\lmissioner, i!l paragrapiJ.s 15 to 21 M his memor&nclam, draws certain 1l0mpari80DS between Kanara and.Il.atnagri and the population of both, stating that in Rt>tntgiri each head of population pays less than ',Re.l to the land revenue, while in 'Mundgod ~d Sirsi tliey pay RI. 2-14-0 per head, aod in.

In Ratnltgiri the pObple are driven to the cnltivation of ,even the poorest Jan.1i ; in Kllnara everywhere there 19 some waste land, of fair or even good quality, avail'able, and reeort to tl>e poores' is unda1.led,-for. ,A reserve of Survey numbers to ba cultivated in rotation. of fallow' is unnecessar"; a cultivator will fallow part of his own laud' if he desire, to do so, and the·assvsment on dry-crop Janet here, as in all similar tracts, i. placed low, with an eye to this proYiable necessity of occasional fallowiug or of extra labour ill manuring tb·di.pense with ,the' neCeB~ity. .• ' ' .
61. TherD is still.in every part of North' Klluara settled. some portion of Government waste 'assessed· numbers 8'VBilable for extension of ~ultivation ; when more, are requited they tan be provided to some moderate enent with. the conourrenoe aDd. 'cousent of the Forest Department. 'It would be .. f!,tal error to provide so muoh waste land divided into ... sessed ' numbers that cultivators, or any Dumber of them, could resign QUe field and take up another in,.alteration each year or at longer inter .... ls; anything in the shape of permanent improvement would th.ereby be preclnded without ap.y gain to the tr43&Sury, even supposing· that to be the p~rmMlent object. It would, in fact, be, ail eltact reversal of our policy with reference to Kumre cultivation in theae districta in which, it has been considered neeessary to be 8OutinUed, where, instead of allowing the peopl' to p .. y Its. 1-4-0 the first year, 'and Re. 0-12-0 the second, and thep to .change the spqt for. another, aud. abandon an ,hold on the land for eight yea.rs or eo, lilQited areas w:e defined anq demarcated. A find assessment of II annas to S annas an acre i, imposed, payable annnally, on the whole area
, occupied, w~thin .. hich the holder'is expect{ld to 'cultivata in rotation' and convert available parts into'permane~t cultivation. Converting, in faot, a mere transitory pl'6ctioe of 'cultivation, with a squaUing tenure into sEfttied habits with property iD the land. • . '
.. 62. It 'only remains to request that the rates now proposed may be sanctioned and guaranteed for the 1l9IlIIo1 period of 30 ye .... , commenoing with 1869-70, the year in which the first portiou of the ttiluka was settled. , ' ' . . ' .. ..

No. 408 o:r 1878.
To THE REVENUE COll;MISSIONER,
Southern Division.
Camp Sirsi, 6tlo Fehruary 1513 • •
SIB, • In forw,rding the aocompalf)'lng letter from the Survey Commissioner, Southern
Divi~ion. to the addre~~ of the Chief Secretary to Government, I have the honour to snbmit the following ob~ervations. This letter contains ~ proposals for the revision of assessment in (39) thirty-nine villages of the Sirs; TlIluka. into (64) sixty-four villages of which Wuka the settlement was introduoed in 1869~70 and reported on in detail in my letter No. 1858 ' of the 6th Deoember 1871." Government in their Resolution No. 1275, dated 19th March. 1872, approved of the p~oposed .... sessment. and the present proposals are based on the same grounds; it is therefore unnecessary to do more than generally notic\, the chief points touched npon in the Survey Commissioner's letter.
2. The map which accompanies the report shows that the villages settled three fears 'ago, and those now dealt with, are grouped together in the louth-eastern corner o( the Sirsi TIlluka, adjoining the Mysore Frontier and the Mundgod Pethaor sub-diTision of the YelJe.. pur TIlluka. The Survey Commissioner. describes the situation of these villages, and shows that they have good roads in their immediate vicinity 01" almost close to them. The two market-towns of Sirsi and Banvasi are also near to them. The flow of traffio in this part oithe Country is generally from eaat to west and vi"" wef',4, that is to say, from the interior ~o the sea-coast and back from the coast to the interior. Commnnication with MyBore is still much impeded by the want of good roads; from Sirsi to Banvasi there is a good road in charge of the Publio Works Department and maintained from Provincial Funds; two years ago a road was cleared by Civil a,gency to the Mysore Frontier from Banvasi, a distance of 6 miles; next year this will be put in good order. I lately met Colonel Sankey, R.E., Chief Engineer in Mysore, and he informed me that in a short time roads would be made in Mysore up to our frontier. In this way eventually this part of t.he district will have communication with Mysore as it now has with the rest of Kltnara and DMrwltr •.
S. It is a regretable circumstance, but one which, as pointed out by the Snrvey Commi,.ioner, cannot be avoided owing to the climate of this district, that the revision of assessment should be done in such patch-work that there must be some change in ~e condition of things between the tim.e of one settlement and that of another. It seems as if this would be charaoteristic of the survey settlement operations throughout the whole of Kllnara, and that some years must elapse before the same are com Rleted.· ,
4. The cultivation, as shown by the Survey Commissioner, i& of a good c1!aracter; 'the rioe and garden lands are specially remunerative. The fall of rain is a certain one, varying. but little from year to year; in 1870-71 it WIIS rather deficient; in 1871·72 it was very plentiful, ' .
5. The order alluded to in paragraph 8 of assessing the Hukkalland, or that attached to the rice lan"', was nevar fully carried out, as is made evident from the statement of measured cultivation given, compared 'with the area entered in the books; the Survey Commissioner in paragraph 12 pointe out that the excess shown in the former over the latter equals 53 per cent. of the occupied area. The Survey Commissioner regreta that there are no data to show the proportion of garden, rice and dry·crop out of .this total excess area, but from the figures given it seems as if' it might be aeceptei that this excess consisted partly of this very Hukkulland; but I admit chiefly of rice Bnd garden land not included in the accounts. Undoubtedly the old a.ceounta are but partially trDstworthy, but. the survey of 18241 jndicat. ed the areas of the different wurga, and as a rule the rice cultivation would pay the assess· ment, the dry-crop land remaining free as before. The order of 1868-69, judging by the returns of revenue, was not carried out to any extent, for the revenue of 1871·72 is Rs. 7,523, of 1870-71 Re. 7,6041, of 1869·'10 Rs. 7,661, and so on, exhibiting a very partial and temporary increase, which in 1871-72 had again disappeared, probably owing to non-cultivation of certain Hukkalland caused by a deficient fall of min. Obviously it would have been inex· '. pedient, even if possible, to carry out a rigorons assessment of H illal :land previously held free, on the eve of the general revision of the assessment at the time of the suney settlement, except of course in cases when new holdings were taken up. There is certaiul:r but little doubt that the holdings were extended after the survey, and that such extensions, inoluding rice, garden and dry-crop cultivation, have hitherto paid no assessment ~ Government. Such seems the only explanation of the anowaly pointed out by the Sarvey Commissioner, though it is only an appro,?mate one.
6. The rates proposed in paragraphs 13,141 and 15 are similar to thO!!e already introduced in other villages in this Ulluka. For rice and dry-<lrOp lands the division of the villages is a simple one; the grounds on which the rates ate fixed have already been approv. ed. 'l'he Survey Commissioner points ont that in some of these villages the best garden
B 1865-23

cultivation'is founa; ... compared with the ... tes imposecl many years ago in an acljoining , tl1luka of Dh8.rwa., given in the footnote, those now proposed here seem to be moderate. Very low rates have prevailed hitherto, and it is, as the Survey Commissioner remarks, expedient not to make the increase excessive.
7. Though this species of, cultivation is exceedingly remunerative, it must eJso be remembered that it is eqneJly laliorious; that garden cultivation goes on throughout the year, requires a large expenditure of capital as well. as .lahour, and has only attained its pres~nt productiveness hy the steady hard work, prlDClpslly of a cl ... s of the peoI'le, the Hlllga Brahmin., who pa.s their whole time in their isolated hamlets, and devote all their energies to the improvement of their gardens. It would, therefore, manife.tly be inexpedient to check this kind of cullivation by imposing too heavy rates of asse.sment. It must also he
, borne in mind that as a rule the.e gardens are planted in villages which cart traffic never reaches; the produce is removed, therefore, hy head-loads, the farmer's servants carrying the produce to market. I quite concur with the Survey Commissioner that comparatively light rates, though, as shown afte'wards, somucn heavier than those hitherto levied, are expedient.
8. In paragraph. 16, 17 and 18 the Survey CommiSsioner give. the results of the rates proposed by him, and shows an increase over the present rates of 106 per cent. This increase seem. ina small degree attributable to the .... es.ment imposed on dry-crop land and chiefly to increased rates on and the increased ... certained area of guden and rice land" anel this is deducible from the Snrvey Commissioner's remark in the first part of his report that Hukkulland was as.e.sed in 18~8·69 ; though this may have been partially carried out" yet the sum of R. •• 1,580 now shown on this acoount, when compared with the increa.e under the old system. indicates .that but little Hukkul was really acceunted for. The unrecorded area actually under cultivation now assessed for the first time, principally rice and garden land. aCColmts, to a very large extent, for the great increase over the former assessment.
9. In paragraphs 19.20 and 21 the Survey Commissioner writes' regarding tbe difference between this Hukkul ordry-crop lind and the .. arkas of other zillas. In the Thana Zilla I have seen varkas converted into cultivated rice land by a large expenditure of capital ; it is nllt tlften the case, but every year some rew instances occur, the'indurement being that the average rate on varka. land i. 4 aimas per acre, and the return nil, except in gra.s and leaves for the" rab" or manure of the rice lands. If the occupant holds much of this kind of land in proportion to his rice fields, then if he possesies the requisite capital, he will convert some of the former into the latter; but as the nature of the soil is against it, consisting, as it generally does, of hilly and rocky ground, only men of capital can undertake the necessary outlay. .Ragi and nachni can be sown without such expendi-
, ture; this would be dry-crop ;, for rice or a 'wet crop the large outlay cannot be avoieled.
. 10. In paragraphs 22 to 25 the Survey' Cotnmissioner debates the question of the . utiljty or otherwi.e of showing thearea of cultivation in each village under the three heads of rice, dry.crop and garden. I do not quite concur in his conclusion., as I regard the return I1ppended to his report as a mo.t valnable ~ne ; the explanation given a. to how this is, as a rule, recorded, is a clear one, bllt what is actuully aScertained from. the return is the position of each village at the time of the sett1emen~, .and when a future revision takes place the advance of culti .. ation under each head can be e ... ily perceived. Donbtless the forests are to be preserved carefully, but at the same time the wants of the people must beeregarded so long as valuable fo ..... t land i. not interfered with.
1 L ,In para"ooraphs 26 and 27 'the Survey Commissioner gives a clear account of the system on which hi. subordinates work in measuring lands now occupied, and those formerly cultivated but now waste; the area of .the latter given in paragraph 18 i~ not large.
12. In p ..... graphs 81 to 40 the Survey C_missioner discusses the causes of the large increase in the new rates over the old ones in whole villages, and in psra"ooraphs 41 and 42 in individueJ holdings. No accurate assessment of land, according to its, quality, position, &c., having bebn ever made before, we can only surmi.e as to the causes which resulted in, unequal rates and in a too light assessment. Concealment of cultivation, the favour shown to certain individuals and classe., with other reasons must account for what was ouly to be righted by a regula,. measurement, classification, and revision of the rates.
• 13. In paragraphs 43 to 46 the Survey. Commissioner make. some striking commente on the price returns rece~ved from Sirsi and Yellapur as compared with those ruling at neighbouring places in DMrwat. To attempt to elucidate the obscurity and correct the returns for this dis~ript woilld dela:Y the submis~on. of th~ Su;;:ey Commissio.ner'. repo~, and prob .. ~ly be unsatisfactory. I Will, however, Institute Inqmnes on the subJect, and In the meantime merely' observe that these returns are more accurately prepared now, and scrutinized with greater care thau was lIhe case formerly. The present ruling price for first class rice in Sirsi is eight seers per rupee, but it must be remembered that this has been a good season; last year it was,six seers per rupee, the season being only a moderately good one, or rllther below the average. The difference of price between the 'Present time lind twentY'lears ago establishes the ,fact that land is now more valuable andean bear a heavier weight 0 assessment than it could formerly.
14. ' In paragraph ~6 the Survey Commissioner refers to the" Betta" lands; it i. well that the definition and assignment of these lands should proceed at the same time as the .urv~y ;
91
it is for the interests of Govemment that the limits of Betta lands ehonld be defintld, 'and the Government forests thereby lIroteeted.
15. Tbe course proposed by the Survey Commissioller to be pursued with" Kans" seems on the whole to be a fair and desira),.le o",e; applications to cut the timber are frequently made, but are not granted, for many of these groves are considered the common property of the villages in which they are situated, and gene .... lly have eame local deity who would, it is supposed by the villagers, be o:ll'ended if the trees were cut down .or injured. The portion. in private occupation can be continued so, but the right to the timber has never been allowed; it will be .. question whether the system of th" annual auction of the" Kane" and portions of them not in private occupation for collecting the w:J.d products, should not be continued, as more accord· ing to the wishes of the people, who maintain their claims to the free use of the " Kans," than by allowing <them to be permanently occupied by outsiders. .
• 16. The Survey Commissioner. concludes his report with a general r.",,,,,, of the lands
in these villages, some remark. on dry.crop lands -and th~ rates."posed, and. on the kumri cultivation in Kanara, and finally recommends the usual gua .... ntee of ·30 yoars to this settl .. ment, commencing with 1869-70, the year in whIch the first 640 villages were settled. . Con~ curring with the last l'OOommendation, I have only to add that the course of trade with regard to products of Kanar .. and Mysore is curious. I have seen rice exported from districts on the sea coast to the conntry above gMts, that is to DMrwar, the same grain grown in Mysore annually finds its way to the coast. Other grains not grown on the coast are brought down, . also beteluut, cardsmoms, pepper, &c., and the return loads consist of sait, cocoanuts and ~k .
. . 17. Considering the quality of the soil the .... tes imposed may be fair, but the.fact that waste lands irrespeotive of forest do exis1;, and that the population stricken with fever .in un· healthy seasons is scahty, would seem to support the argument that as light rates as might be equitable 1;0 the State should be li:<ed on dry-crop lands. . .
, . . 18. In regard to the population, ruthongh for some rew years no marked and unusuru
sickness has prevailed, yet the numbers do not seem to increale, and the diffioulty in proonring labour i. great. The village registers are improving in accuracy, hut hardly one shows a larger number of births than deaths, or even an eq1iPo1 number; in generru it is the other way, which is not satisfactory. ~e registers are not wholly reliable, hut they are approximately correct, SO that it is certain at any I'ate that the population is not on the increase. Some inquiries will be made on this subjec.t, and some interesting facts may be elicited.

FaD' THE REVENUE COMMISSIONER, S. D.
From the bu"ey and Settlement Commisaioner, Soutlwn Divillion, No. 92. dated 211' January 1878. and accompan;mtlnt.
From tho CoUoot.or of KA.nar., No. 403, dated 7t.h February 1878.
CIMllP Rat .. agi"', .26th Febroary 1878.
In submitting the correspondence mar- . ginally noted, relative to survey and assessment of sa vill.."""", of the Sirsi Talnka, the Revenue Commissioner has the honour to append the following observatioM.
2. The report is accompanied by a map which shows the area of the villages and their bearing relatively to eaoh other and to the roads from Hnbli to Sirsi and from Sir'; to Banvasi. There is also a very valuable accompaniment showing the area, cultivation, cattle, carts, plough., houses and population, together with ~he area.of di:ll'erent kinds of cultivation in each village, lind the total of assessment according to former accoUl)ts, and the proposed rates of assessment. There is also " table of price. for several markete over a series of years, which document, however, the Revenue Commissioner regretS to observe, cannot, for reasons pointed o'ut by Colonel Anderson, he regarded as a trustworthy gaide ill t~ important matter of price of staple grain of the distriot.
S. Additions of this nature to the forms in which previous repona for villages in the adjoining tmcts hne been laid hefore Government appear to the Revenue Commissioner, and will, he trusts, appear in the same light to Government, a grellii improvement as affording facility for studying details and for applying to the separate cireumstances of all or any of the villages, those principles which conld otherwise he only applied generally, or in a lun:!p. 'The remarks of the Collector on this subject, in paragraph 10 of his report, appear to the Revenue Commissioner judicious.
92
4. ·The 39 villages of the Sini TaIub to which these papers relate represent an area of abont 491 square miles. This tract is ~ respect to climate, ~&Il and ~tural produ~, very similar to that on the assessment of which Government Resolution No, Ijlii 5, dated 19th March. 1872, W&s 'passed. The'vill&ges are well situated &S rega!ds. the traffi? routes o~ ~he distri~t and include a !erge proportion of the valuable garden cultivation for which the SlrSi Talub 18
celebrated. 5. The Sg vill..., ..... contain 'aCCOrding to the survey record. a population of 4,307 souls,
which gives about 87 per square mile of the entire area and 270 per square mile of 10.019 acres shown in the Survey Commissioner'. report &S culturable. .
6. The Survey Commissioner has placed 32 villages in one cl..... with a maximum of Rs. 5 per acre for rice and Re. 1 per acre for dry-oroP. and the reme.ining 7 villages in & lower cl .... with & maximum of Rs. 4-8-0 for rice and anD&S 14 for dry-crop. For'garden land there h&S been a maximum assessment of Rs, 14 and the &verage on the garden culti~ation of the 32 villages in the higher class is Rs. 11-15-5 ; the average in the lower clasa R •• 10-8-8.
7. The results of the'tpplication of the proposed rates will be seen ill detail in one of the accompaniments to Colonel Anderson's repott and in a condensed form in paragraphs HI and 18 .•
8. The operation of the surVey has brought to light a large extent of concealed cultivation, or of cultivation of which no account was kept~and on which no assessment was levied. The total .recorded cultivation by old accounts is acres 4.951. bearing an assessment of Rs. 7.523; where&S tbe survey shows an area of cultivated acres 7,577 assessed at R •. 10,475, being an increase of 2.626 acres and R.:7.9a2 of assessment, There is no doubt that .ubsequent to the sutYey (with revision of assessment in ouly Badangod and four other magalies) by the Madras autborities in 1824, extension of cultivation of all kinds has taken place, of which only'a small portion has been brought to account. There is reason to anticipate that instances of the assessment bearing no intelligible connection with the amoun"t and quality of land under cultivation similar to those in the 6 villages entered in Colonel Anderson's 36 paragraph will be very frequently found as the survey progresses, and Colonel Anderson states at the end of his 42nd paragraph his belief that in the more sequestered part of the district there will be found whole villages unrecorded in the account. and paying no revenne whatever to Gov~rnment.
9. H the detailed statement of area of culti-..tion, &c., accompanying Colonel Anderson's report served no other purpose, it wonld at least be nseful in bringing j,o the knOWledge of Government particulars which, however anomalous, serve to elucidate the very exceptional inlmunity from a duly proportioned .... essment enjoyed by the influential classes in Kanar... None of the previous report. had furnished these details, and it was not uti! receipt of a statement from Colonel Anderson and of the information caJled for by Government in Resolution No. 5611 of 8th November 1871 regarding remuneration to village servants in Kanara, that the Revenue Commissioner became aware of the almost entire inlmunity from assessment enjoyed by certain of the villages in the Klirwar TaIub, Three, among which was included" Iaudeh" mentioned in the S~ey Commissioner'. 42nd paragraph; were selected for enquiry and the Revenue Commissioner hopes that the Collector will be able in replying to his reference to throw some further light on the status of tho person i1,l whose name the cultivation is entered (a single person in
.each of these three vi1lages), the tenure by which the sub-tenancies are held and the amount of rent paid, the name of the Shanbhogne and his mode of adjusting payments for a number of years are also pointe referred to for enquiry, .
10. The Revenue Commissioner begs to express his concurrence with th..esurvey Com-• missioner and the Collector of Kanara in the snitability of the rates now proposed for garden
and rice land, Bnd, under the strong opinion stated by Colonel Anderson, in the suitability of those for dry cultivation also, It is shown that while the increase is moderate in many villages, the extraordinary enhancement observable in others is solely produced by the application of carefully adjusted rates to land which has hith<;to escaped wholly or in part the ordinary demands <>f Government, and it is most prohable that it is the wealthy and influential classes who will bear the restriction of their former profits while the poorer c1asses will i'! many cases be gainers ~ the equalisation of the assessment. . ,
11. It is to a certain extent an experiment in the face of falling prices to double the land ' asSessment over an area of 39 villages; the incidence ot the assessment amounting to Its, 15.475 on the cultivated area of 7,a17 acres under the three classes which represents for each head of population about Re. S-9-6, can hardly be caJled light relatively to the neighbouring district of Dharw4r. The Survey Commissioner in the footnote to paragraph 15 mentions the maximum for garden land in Hanga\ TaIub of Dharwar ... Rs. 20 in comparison with the proposed maximiun garden rate of Rs. 14, but the average for garden cultivation in that taIub is understood to be only a rate between that fixed for 32 of the villages under report and that fixed for the 1 vin..., ..... of the lower clIIss, !amely, about Rs, ll-ll~ per acrI!- The remarks on this i subject in Mr. MacDonald'. 6th and 7th paragraphs appear to be moderate and .judicious. Assessments, however, not dissimilar in character introduced into the taIukas of Supa, Yellapur and part. of Sirsi, have not given riee to any general complaint; and it is hoped that the ratee now proposed, which in the aIIlsence of any safe comparieon of prices over a series of years, are regarded by the Survey Commissioner and the Collootor as moderate, may receive the sanction of Government, and may cause ae little dissatisfaction to the eultiv&tors ae the other Bombay survey assessments in the part of Kanara aboTe the ghauts, though securing a eolid increa..<e to the Government revenue, have hitherto done. .
93
12. The next question whioh'calls for notice is that of the area .. \lowed (or free grazing diecussed in pa.ragmphs 51 to H. In the first place, the Revenue Commissioner begs to state tliat, as expl"ined in Colonel And.rson's pDorBgrl>ph 58, the complaint of the villagers of Banvasi baa sinoo been di"1'osed of "I the Survey and Settlement Commissioner to the satisfaction of tbe Collector of Kanka an tbe undersigned. •
13. The Revenue Comnrlssioner .. grees that the arrangements for free grazing of the yillagers und.r report, proposed br Coloriel Anderson, are suited t~ the locality; but he thinks it desirable tbat the area assigned te each village which it appears is "distinctly fixed and recOI'ded at the time of the actual settlement which in tb. present instance is in the future" should be .. liberal one. Some explanation of the actual area clearly defined by natural or artificial boundary marks in the ,previous 'settl.ment, so frequently mentioned in Colonfl Anderson's report, wonld bave given ... surance on a point which the Revenue Commissioner does not cease to commend to the liberal consid.ration of Government. It is suggested that a return of the grazing ar .... 'should be transmitted to Go".rn!D.nt as soon a~ tbey have been defined and demarcated. i'he proviso mentioned in paragraph 5:1 that" tb. assignm.nt so made is in force till Government see fit to cha'!ll"e it," is in the opinion of tbe Rev.nu.' Commissioner a judicious 'one for the reasons stated by \iolonel And.rson.
14. Th. arrangem.nts. for Bett .. l~nd d.scribed in the Surv.y Commissio.er's 56th paragraph are in acoordance with the rul •• sanctioned by Gov.rnment. Th. Collector points out in bi, 14th pa.ragraph that it is desirable for the protection of the for.sts that the iossignment which is 8 acres of Bett .. ror eacll acre of gard.n should proceed at the same time as the Survey. The subject will no doubt receive attention as soon as a Suney measurer is available for the d!1t f· .. . '. .
15. The Survey and Settlement Commissioner and the Collector of IUllara appear to be of one opinion r.garding the management of kans, the specific numb.r and extent of which in the district under revi.w hav., not been mentioned. The arrang.ments d.scribed of limiting engsgemellts, whether for annual or for longer periods, to the usufruct and, of prohibiting any cutting of,th. treas, is .vidently .. desirabl. one. . . .
.16. The remarks in paragraphs 17 and 18 of Mr. MacDonald'. covering letter indicate a not very sanguin. \>iew of the health and prosperity of the population, but he concurs in tbe fairness of tbe rates proposed by the Survey and Settlement Commu;sioller, and the undersign.d respectfully supports that office.'>, racommandation, that they may b. sanctioned and guaranteed for 80 years' from the date specified in Colonel Anderson'. 62nd paragrapb. .
17. It is suggested that the Survey Depa.rtment be requested to p.·spare the notification to be published by Government in the Gazette.
. 18. Th. Collector in his 9th paragraph'briefly noted in term. of modified dissent, the r.marks in Colonel Anderson's paragraphe ~9 and 21 regar~ing a Comparison drawn in m.morandum from the undersigned on the proposals for certain villa~e. in Sirsi T41uka and in the Mundgad Petha of the Yellipur taluk~ The Revenue ComlDlssion •• will not request & reperusal of his remarks in oompat'ing the dry-crop cultivation of the vil1ages .J;hen und.r revi~ and the f' Warbs" of the Konkan. What the Revenue Commissioner wislied to bring to ,the favourable oonsidemtion of Government and the Surv.y Commission.r was the small relative proportion of waste land, measl1ftld and held available for,dry.crop cultivation in the villages' then under consideration. 1'he great superiority of the area of rice cultivation in Kanara was adduced as the reason why the Kanarese flots could pay so much higber a rate per head 'of population than the ryct. of the Mamlatdar'l'division of the RatD1lgiri til.luka; but it was'suggested that some fa.cilit.y fQr holding. a larger relative extent of land .. vailabl. for dry-crop cultivation would .hav. tend.d to the maintenance and increase of agrioultural prosperity unde.· the pressure . which the .. nhanced assesslo.nt will unquestion .. bly impos.. The Rev.nu. Commission"r would ur!l'e .the same vi.ws r.garding the villages now under review, but he finds that Colonel Anderson is still opposed to the measure, and though the Rev.nue Commission.r dpes not recognize,
l\' e cannot get on with the Survey of tbe occupied land, .. faet by any mt'an ... we could deaire from the liudtod portion of tbe year available for field work_and

as regards t~ intereste of the cultivators, the force of tbe other rea,ons urged by that officer for postponing the demarcation of additional arabi. land for which Colonel Anderson has " no doubt that in a f.w yea .... there will be .. call," yet he admitS the practical force of the objec-. tion.stated in the accompanying quotation from J>"I""Il"raph 27 of Colonel Anderson's report. The e)ttreme unhealthiness of tbe climate for the
'measurere and other Survey officers and tbe nnprofitable eXpend,iture whioh would devolv. on Governm.nt of constructing a large number of boundary ma,rks .n w ... t. fields are argument.. . Ilgainst tbeotberwise desirabl. ext.nsion of the ar.a available to dry-crop cultivation which. when ur~d upon Government by the .Commissioner of Survey and Settlement, the Revel1ue CommiSSIOner does not consid.r himoelf in .. position to 9Ppose.
19. Colonel Andersbn in his 60tb parag .... ph reverts to the subject. of this waste land and ' , suggests that the opinion of the Revenu. Commission.r may bave heen mflnence~ by the "~~"! • that Kana .... dry-crop laud either above or below the Ghats resemblos warkas In RatnA.gm. 'fhis is quite correct, it was oertainly not thought then, !lor is it now, that there i. nQ difference

between the dry~rop land of Ra.t1I4giri and that of Kanara above the Ghats: for the latter is in . . .. a general w"'y superior. But tliere is a resemblance in the heavy
·;About ~oo I~.b .... Bat.I.gin ra.info.Il* in the st~ple produce rice in the low lands and ragi ogomot 80 ID thill part of K4n&ra. or nachni in the higher ground; in the habit of following tOO dry I~d cn.ltivation, atid ~ the free use of mannr~ from leav~ and grass owin~ to the deficiency In solmal manure, whIch makes access to the hill slopeA destmble for oollectlon of gra.s and leaves. If, as is oorrectly stated by Colonel Anderson, Kanara exports rice, while Ratne.giri does not grow snllicient for its own ]lJlpulation, it may be urged on the other hand that Revadanda and other districts of the Konkan are exporters of rice and yet enjoy a large e~ent of lightly assessed Warkas land besides unlimited R"b, except in the case of imperial demarcated forest, and access to the hill slopes deducted as unarable. As regards mannre from cart bnllocks passing bhrough Kana,.., these temporary sources of supply can never approach that derived from the cultivators' own cattle of which. the ·Hyga gardeners make such good use; but in respect of cart and laden cattle in transit the routes vi4 Chiplun, Phonda, and the other numerous open,ngs in the gMts can claim a fair comparison for Ratrulgiri with Kanan>. Colonel Anderson has etated the arrangoments he finds suitable for provi<l.ine the requirements of the v;llagers, and as suggested in paragraph. 13.of this memorandum lie will probably hereafter report in detail for the information of GOvernment the definite arrangements which being now in the future,·will then have been carried into ell'ect for the demarcation of the area of graling grounds. .
20. ·in his 20th paragraph Colonel Auderson states that" the lauds called. Wa.ka. in Thana and Ratnagiri could never, except by an extraordinary application of labour, be turned to any· other purpose than. they are devoted to at present." Mr. Maedonald partially controverts this assertion from his eXpI)rience in TMna, and that it is entirely a mistake as regards p...,t experieuce is proved. by the voluminous correspondence in Ratnagiri relative to the assessment of the large extent of Warkss land conv.erted into rice during the period of the British Admi";'tratiou. 'rhat the same process has been in operation in Kanam there is every reason to believe and it will probably aeoonnt in many instances for. the great variance between the present and the former recorded area when, as is certainly not often the case, such a trustworthy record of ayea can be found: Unquestionably th~re ~till. remains a greater facili~y for eXtendiag cultiv~ tion both of the rtee and dry.crop descnption 1D the wastes of the Balaghat of Kanara thaUlD Ratu~giri, but such extension is for the present held to be not desirable ilt' Kanm-a. ...
21. The Revenuepommissioner oonour •. that,in the District nnder review there is qnite as much rice land as the people can cultivate properly. lie does not on the other hand think that there is as much dry~J;Op land as the people will be able to cultivate with benefit to tne<Aselves. For instance in ·Sisalkop, No. 13 of the list of villages in the statistical accompaniment .. which has an area of 1,116 acres and a population of 202 souls, there is not a single acre of waste dry-crop land measured ont for cultivation. It has been explained by Colonel Anderspn that the cultivators commonly hold lands in the adjoining viIlages, this is undoubtedly some compensation for their not having available land in their own villa" ..... , and this fact together with the objections pointed out in paragraph 27 of t!>e Survey Commissioner's report must, ilt is presumed, be IICCOpted ail snfficient reason for leaving matters for the present in the position ad vacated in the report. The Revenue Commissioner takes this opportnnity respectfully to bring to the notice of Government the recommendation in paragraph 18· of his report No. 1037, dated 29th Fehruary 1872, relative to the Forest Department havjng no claim to fees for grazinoo or for revenue from cultivation which may be hereafter opened ont oD, the. oonditions specified in paragraph 12 of Colonel Anderson's report (No. 154.0£ 3rd February 1872). The land !lot measured into numbers for cultivation apparently comes under the provisions of Section 33 ci Act I of 1865.
22. The Revenue Commissioner now begs permiasion to notice a portion of the Survey . Commissioner's opinions from which, however much he coincides with the adjustment of the actual rates proposed, he is ohliged to record renewed and emphatic dissent. The Revenue Commis.ioner also considers th~ matter to be one of the very highest importance to the governors as well as the governOd, for the power of Government to oollect a cash assessment removed at all ahove what represents the very moderate demand of }th or {tit of the gross produce at the time of settlement, which is acknowledged" to· be light enough by all classes, must. evidently d~nd upon a subsequent rise in prices the permanence of which can be safely trusted. ••
23. The opinions from which a very .earnest dissent is recorded are those in paragraphs 47 to 49 of Colonel Anderson's report, sO far as they go to support the theory before asserted and supported by comparison of figures, and now again to all appearance deliberately maintained t4at the rafes theu under discussion represented ouly ninth share. of the gross prodnce.
24. It was of course nnderstood. that thitJ assumed share of the produce applied not to oue . pqrtion only of the villages then n.nder assessment, but to the whole. ..
25. One portion of the villages which had not been assessed by the Madras Government in 1822-23 was still under the old Bijwari asseasment, and satisfactorr <lata were available for
• comparison of the incidence of assessment at the dilI'erent periods in f8spect to those viii...,...... . 26. The other village~ to the nnmber of 38 (.id. Colonel Anderson'. 25th parapraph) had
come under the revision of assessment by the Madras Government in 1822-23, and the theory that the MaPras Government at that revision fixed..a cash .... ~9sment representing ird valne
95 . of the gross produce was adduced to show by a comparison of ligure'S that the new aseesement is equivalent iJl vdle to only on .... ninth of the gross produce.
27. The process in Colonel Anderson's 28th JlBl"8WI'ph was an extremely simple o.~. It was assumed that the price. at the. time of ... sessment by the Madras authoritiee were not one-third of tho .. at the time of report, and tb .. t as the new rates for 6.870 acres of rice by survey accounts is about the same ... the rates for 5,708 acres of rice according to the old accounts for 1868-69, the rise of prices which had trebled the value of the gross produce left the present rates at one-third -:- three = one-ninth. .
28. The logical deduction from the figUres is not disputed; but the argument involves an .... umption regarding the riae in PPfes Which, if the calculation be taken upon an average of ·the v .. rious periods of the year,and for .. sUfficient length of .time to give.. fair .. ve .......... , =y have oonsiderabl,r over-st .. ted in the rise between 1823 and 18n. It is nnderstood that they had been rising m the early part of this century (vide page 70 of Government records "Letters on the Administratiol) of Kanara "l. and they were probably not at their lowest in 1823, but may afJ;erward8 ... in Bomhay.
29; But a strictly mathem .. tical objection to the proportion is found in the Survey Commissioner's statement of actnal cultiv .. tion. It will be seen from p"'a.,O']'aphe 25 and 27 of the report No. 12:;8, dated 6th Dee.mber 1871, that the survey accounts show.da total of 6,279 acre. of dry cultiv .. tion .... essed at Rs. 8,114. As the Survey Commissioner (paragraph 26) doubts R exceedingly if .. ny aetnal increase <if occupation took place in the year before the Bettlement," he must admit that the villages under assessment in which this land w ... held free in . the yeaI' 1868_69 und.rgo an additional burden to that amount. H this burd.n be added thus-. .
Rice Plee.mont ..• DrJ·cr.p .do. .••
n •. . l6,196 1.116
The total become; 19.309
• or about Rs. 2-13-0 per acre, .. nd the proportions fall by tbis c~rrec~on alone from on.-ninth to between on .... v.nth and one· eighth. '" .
30. Admitted that aU this I,.;'d was not under cultivation in 1822-28, stW the coileetions on tb. other hand were .. t that time probably much lower. .AccOunts for th.· early. years are not a\!ailable, but those for 1849-~0 sbow the actual collections at only Rs. 11,6418' on a
· recorded area of 6,206· acres, which represents only Rs. 2-3-10 per· acre, which brings the pro-• portion SO much nesrer one-aeventh than on .... ninth. -
Sl. It is to be feal·ed that if Colon.1 Anderson's estimate ot one·ninth is to La accepted · without ol·iticism, he may hav. rather seriously erred in the direction of under-assessment in the · s.ltlement of oth~r 23. villages of the MundgoJ Mabal which was sanctioned nnder Government Resolution No. 1680, dated 28th April 1868. In the pr.sent CjIse the assessment of the villages settled by the Madras Gov,oment in 1822-23 has been increased from lts. 13,246 to Rs 20,40.0, or rather more th .. n 60 per cent. In the former case· the assessm.nt was. Blightly ..auced as regards the 23 villages assessed in 1822-23. If, then, tIi. rates increased by 00 per oont, represent only on ..... third (in eonsequence of rise of pric.s) of the' one-third of the crop said to have be.n taken at the s.ttlement of 1822-23, that is one-nioth, there is risk th .. t Colonel And.rson'a settlement of 18/)7 repr.sented only two·thirds of that ninth share, or <>nly two-tw.nty-s.ventbs of the groBS produce which the Survey Commission.r would hardly av.r to be suitable rates"or similar to those in Dbaiw4r. . 82. In submitting these remarks, the Revenne Comririssioner does not· consider thet he is casting unfavoo.rable·r.tlectioDB on the settlements, but the contrary. It w ... und.r the same impression that h. combatted the idea that tbe new rates in the Karwa.r tl11uka (vide paragraph 8 of·report No. 916, dated 21st F.brnary 1872), wher.Jur the assessment w ... doubled, repr .... sented a money value less rather than 10 per cent. of the gross produce.
. .. 33. It is not asserted that if the whol. estimated gross prodllce were appraised by the
prices in large baz4r. the th""r.tiea1 figur •• might not be more or less justified, but it i. minteinod that in practice a light assessment t.nds to allow of a buoyancy of prices iii the st .. pl. grains and that a heavy cash ... sessment tend.· to foroo those grains upon. the market. Thus, if a demand approaching the mone,. v~lue of on.-third the produc~ were .generally .nfor.ed, th.re woulti be .. t onos a glut of gra.m m the market ·and a fall of priceS, which would derange the operation and l-end.r its eontinnance qnpractioable. The Collector; Mr. Shaw Stewart, in paragraph 6 of his. report liP, 8588, !Iated the 12th December 1871, drew attention to remark. by the Madras Gov.rnm.nt that the theoretical third ohare of the a.ssessment coulet hardly have been gen.rally levied.
34. Fortunately, it appears from the language at·th. conclusion of t:graph 50 of the Surv.y CoQlJJlissioner's report tb .. t there is no differenc. af opinion between . and the Rsvenue Commission.r ~ing what proportion to the gross produce a fair ....... m.nt onght to bear, and it is hoped tliat no harm. but rather ben.fit, may accrn. from a well meant .. ttempt to ~how
· .. ·hat th~ Rsvenu. Commissioner believes to b. the .... e, that the actual settlements sanctioned by Oov.rnment for. the K4nara· villages are nearer .that proportion than. the lower pr?portioDB from time to tim. IIUggested in the correspondence. .
96 • •
S~ There can be nO'disputing the justice of Colonel Anderson's 'oomments in paragT8phs 43 to 46 regarding the returns of prices. The Revenne Commissioner thinks 1Itat the Collector might, by oomparison of a series of prioes obtained from private sources' (like thOse appended by Colonel Anderson to his report No. 296, dated 23rd April'18~7) and from the Government records, frame in concert with the Commissioner of SUrvey and Settlement a summary for a series of years which would give a more trustworthy information regarding the market prices for the staple grains in Kanara for previous years than are as yet furnished. The great desideratum is to ascertain what precise measures of .capacity are recorded by merchants and. the Government officers in the different localities and what their precise equivalent in a Illliform measure of weight should be. In respeCt to ,paddy or rice in the husk, it :would be wen to keep to the measures of capacity, mentioning at the same time the estimated' equivalent in weight. With regard' to husked rice and all other grains, the measure of weight alone would suffice; and for this purpose the new standard kilogramme at 8li' no. toMs would he probably the most s~table. ,

lJom~01/ Oaatle, 13t1. May 1873. Letter. from the Survey and Settlement Commissioner, Sonthern Division, No. 92, dated
21st January 187S-Submitting proposals for the revision of assessment in 39 villages of the Sirsi T!l.luks, into 6<1. villages of which Mluh the settlement, was introduced in 18~9-70; and reported in his letter No. 1358 of the 6th. December 1871, the 'rates of assessment therein explajp having re"!lived the sanction of Government in.their Resolution No_ 12i5, dat"'!i 19th March 1812. . ;
Memorandum from the Re'Venue Commissioner, Scluther!l DivisiQn, No. 742, dated 26th Febmary 1873-Submitting, with his remarks, the above. and a letter from the Collector of .' KUala (No: 403 of 1873).' .
. RESOLUTIolf.-These proposals relate to the revision of assessment in 89 villaO'es of the Sirsi TRluka at the same. maximum rate~ as those already sanctioned for 64 villag~s of tbe same taluka in Government Reso)utiqn No. 1275, dated 19th March 1872. The. rates are
• approved by the Collector and the Revenue Commissioner, and are, there can be no doubt, ,'·extremely'moderate. . • .
. 2. Tjle ~mples gived in the 85th aud 86th paragraphs of the Survey Co",;";ssioner'. report prove beyond doubt the extreme unreliability of fo.rmer assessments as 8 guide by which to test the fairness of those now to be introduced in the case of individual villages. These discrepancie, can, as pointed out by Colonel Anderson, be only attributed to the cot'l'nption olthe shanbhogs or village acconntauts and the laxuess of supervision in former day. on the part of the Revenue Officers.. However much, therefore, the new may exceed the old assessments in individual cases, Government, considering the marked moderation of the maximum rates, ha.ve fall reliance that the levy of the excess will be no more thau eqnitable as a simple consequence of the bringing ander contribution to the land revenne of the hitherto concealed area of cultivation and the equaJization of the bnrden on all Classes by the classification of soils acC9rding to their relative fertility •
• 8. Government concur with the Revenne Commissioner and the Collector in thoir opinions as to the utility of the information contained in the statistical statement appended to the Survey Oommissioner'. report, and desire that similar statements should, whenever it, may be practicable, be furnished with settlement reports. : ,. .
4. There is no reason to donbt that, as elsewpere, the assignment of £res grazing grounds to the different villages will he, as recommended by the Rey-enne Commissioner, calculated on a liberal scale. This will naturally be carried out in ooosultation with the Collector, and .. report
• of the al .... ngements made should be inoluded in the finel report of the int~uction of the revised rat... The proposed reservation of the right of Government to alter the assignment i. approved.
. , D. It is presumed that the assignment of the "beta" adjuncts to garden lands and their demareation is a plOCS5B conducted as strietly nnaer the supervision of the higher Survey Officers as all others incidental to the settlement. His Excellency in Council will b. glad to receive Colonel Anderson'. assurance to this effeot.
6. The proposal for the settlement of the jangle patches caJIed "ADS" contained in th,. 57th phragraph of Colonel A.nderson's rep?rt is approved.

With reganl to the ~~"g out into survey 6elds of ext.'a dry·crop land in prepara-bo~ for the. eneDSlon of cul~lvation that may reasonably be expected dnring the guaranteed penod of thll'ty years on which the Revenue Commi.sioner lavs stress and to which the ~urvey ~omm!ssioner objeots in the 26th and :7th paragraphe ;',f his rePort, His ExeelIency 111 Counet! admits th~ force of Colonel Anderson s argulllents against any unnecessary extension of the operation, and IS content to leave the matter to the discretion of the Survey Officers, on the nnderstanding that all open land, and not only that contiguous to land now under cultiv~tion, is to be measured. out and assessed in cases in which, from the redundance of population or other cause, there IS" reasonable probability of its beiug required for cultivation within the period of gnarantee. The survey ~les admit of the breaking np into small numbers of large surve, field. "'rmod at the settl~ment, and t,he assessment of the former, according to the l'ates Qf adjoining land, by t~e ColIec~o~ and his subordinates, and this pr~cess rna>: of course be resorted t" 1D case of necessity, but It IS naturally so rude and uncertalO that It j, as well to avoid auy necessity for adopting it if this can be done without soorifi:ing more important ocDsideratioDB.
8. The maximum rate proposed for dry-crop laud is equally moderate with that for rice, and, looking to the maximum which Captain Wingate found to be capable of imposition on garden Ian,ls in Dhtl.rwlir many years ago before the present rise in prices took place, the same may confidently be said of the maximum of Rs. 14 adopted for garden lands in these village" which appear frequently to be of a very superior order. '
9. The Survey Commissioner should be requested to draft a notification for publication in the Governm .... t Gazelte. guaranteeing the s.ttlement of the .. villages for such period as will cause the guarantee to expire with that of the 64 villages already .... nctioned.
10. The recommendation alluded to in the latter part of the 21st paragraph of Mr. Havelock'. letter will be dealt with separately_

No. 417 OF 1878.
COLONEL W. C. ANDERSON, Survey and Settlement Commissioner, S. D.;
THE COLLECTOR or NORTH KA,'NARA. SURVEY COMMISSIONER'S OPFICE,
Bombay, 20th .t1prillS78.
Sir) I have the honour to forward, for the sanotion of Government, proposals for the introduction
of the survey assessment into twenty-nine (a9) villages of the Sirsi Tliluka of North Kanara.
2. These proposals must be taken as in continuation of those made for the adjacent ¥illages, and sanctioned under Government Resolution No. 27.11 of the 13th May 1873.
S. These villages are all situated within the jungles and though adjace.nt to them at a somewhat greater distanoe from main lines of communication than any of the villages settled in 1873, for the worst situated of which maximum rates of Rs. 0-14-U dry-crop, Re. 4-8-0 rice and RB. 14 garden, were adopted. Though farther within the jungl~s than the villages settled in former years, none of the villM'es now nnder report can 1 e conSidered to be remotely situated .from great lines of communirati;n; the mllin line of road from Kumpta viil Sirsi t" Huhli is not more than from 8 to 9 miles from the most distant village. and the road from Sirsi to YelMpur is close to those farthest from the Hubli road. Fair'country cart-tl'3Cks run across from the one made road to the other and a forest cleared road runs from the Hubli road and c10ae to Bhartanhalli, \'Ory nearly con~ecting the two roads. GeneralIy, these villages are very fairly oft' for means of communication.
•• But, as they are somewhat farther within the jungl('s tbau any of the adjacent villugea of the Sirsi TIl.luka previously settled, 1 have thought it advisable to rednce the rate. to Re. 0-12-0 muimum dry-Cl'OP and Rs. 40 maximum rice land rate for aU the .. villages now nuder report. The maximum garden rate of R •. 14 adopted for the ':Illa!l'e. formorly Bettled, is retained he ... without any reduction, the character. of gar.den cu!tlvatlOn inlproves as' one proceeds into the jungle and to the west trom~he lDereaslDg mOlstu~e of the climate, a quality most required for the best sup"i and SpIce ga~dens. ,There IS a tutal area of acres 60 of garden in these villages, generally of very supel'lor quahtr·
p 13tili-~5
98
5, The tot.1 area at these villages, acres 41,905 or 65 square miles, and the total population is 1,318 or 20'S to the square mile, but the cultivated aroa of the above only amounts to acres 2,256 or 3'5 square miles, to which the above population will give an average of 376'6, a very ample ratio.
6. The following statement shows the annual recorded occupied area, collections, and remissions for the last twenty years in these villages. The .oHections alone are worthy of much trust. Acres 1,655 are entered as occupied in 1876·77, while the survey shows that acres 2,256 are actually under occupation, a difference of 36 per cent. :-

11. As in the oase of other settlements to be mad •. in Kanara. thie year, I postponed 'Sending in this letter as long as possible in order to b. able to include ae many villages as possible. I hoped to have been able to have included at least three or four adjacent to those referred to in this letter, but I have been disappointed in receipt of the papers. They may come in any day, and I would suggest the expediency of asking Government to sanction the introduction ot the new rates, with your concurrence, into any additional vilmges in which it may be possible to do 80, adjacent to the villages already reported on, and on .. similar standard of assessment; the result. being reported at ono .... soon .. ft~r the rate. have been given out a' possible. When once the standard of .... e.sm.nt for a tIlJuka has been fixed by the sanction of the .... essment of .. considerable portion of it, there ie nQ real room for discussion about the rates to be introduced into the remainder of the tAluka. ,
12. I shall be obliged by your forwarding this letter with as little delay as possible to t:,e Commie.ionor, Southern Division, for transmission to Government.

Sm, I have the honour to forward the Survey Commissioner's letter No. 417, dated 20th instant,
with accompaniments, containing" p,roposals for the introduction of the survey ae .... ment into 2u villages of the Sirsi TaJuka.' These are in continuation of similar proposals referring to 6' villages, &anctioned in Government Resolution No. 1275, dated l:,9th March 1872, and also of proposal referring to 39 villages, sanctioned in Government Resolution No. 2711, dated 13th May 1873.
. 2. In the Sirsi Toiluka hitF.erto only 103 villages have been settled, and they lie to the east from Sirsi along the Mysore frontier, and partly adjoining the DMrrir District and the settled villages of the Mundgod Petha in the Yellapur Taluka of this District. The 29 villages now proposed for settlement lie more to the north, and are in immediate proximi ty to the Mundgod villages, the laet of which have been settled for the past 8 or 10.years. As remarked by the Survey Commission.r, these 29 villages lie away from the main road ~ this part of the country, and at present there is no good road passing through them. A forest road runs from Katur on the Sini and Mundgod Road to BhartenhalIi, and its connection with the Sirsi and Ye1l4pur Road will be completed this year. A good ontlet for th .. · produce of these villa,,- will eventually be obtained.
3. The popnlation of these 29 villa.,- is scanty; the forest area in this part of the tslnka i. extensive, and the climate is unfavourabl., ae fever prevails everywhere. The crops raised are, however, good. The Iand·owners are principally Havick. or Haige Brd.bmans; there are two or three Shenvi and Konkani Br4hmans amongst them. The cultivators on these village.<, who are the Br4hman'. tenante, are generally Are Marathas, .. few of these last • own land.
,. The landa of th ... village. were originally measured in the years 1822 -2t! ; according to the old aocounts the area occupied wae acres 1,65S with an assessment of Rs. 2,260}, the survey now ahows the available area to he 2,888! with an assessment of Rs. 5,522. As pointed out by the Survey Commissioner, the variation in some cases is extraordinary, bnt can be e>.plained by the encroachment on Government land, which has been going on for many V8alll by tile lax method, by which the as .... ment was imposed, and by the corruption and fraud of the Subordinate Native Offioial., who oombined with the wealthy land-owners to defraud the !:>ovel'llment. These points have heen .. t forth at greater length in former reports, and need not further be dwelt on here.
Ii. I may notice here that in three villa.,aes, No .. 3, 5 and 6, there is no cultivation at present, a few acre. are now assessed, but such land being situated in the centre of extensive forest .. wiJI not be given out for cultivation until the forest demarcation has been completed. Other land may then also become availabl. for cnltivation. .
6. As regards the grouping of the.e villages and the rat.. of as .... m.nt proposed by the Survey Commisoioner, I have no alteration to propose. I think the rates proposed are moderate and fair. The general question "'garding the settlement of the villa,,- in this Wuka has been discussed, and was decided in the Resolution quoted above.
7. In oonclusion, I have the honour to stete my concurrence in the rates proposed for these 29 villages of the Sirsi Taluka by the Survey Commissioner, and to request the early &anction of Government, as the oeason is far advanced. I may add that the concessions anthorized in Government Resolution No. 6573, dated 21st October 187+, will be applied to tbese village. in tbe manntr reported in my letter No. 1749, dated 7th April 1877, so far as the same may be suitable.

2. At present communications in the part of the district now proposed to be settled are not good, but it i. hoped they will be improved in future.

The maximum rate on dry-crop land'S is 12 annas, on rice lands Ro. 4, and on garden land, which i. of a superior description, Rs: 14 per acre. 1'he Oollector and Acting Commissioner support the proposals of Colonel Anderson, which appear to His Excellency the Governor in Council reaeonable, and are accordingly sanctioned.
S. The increase of assessment in some instances is very large, andit ma.y be left to the discretion of the Collector to extend or withhold the concessions granted by Government Resolution No. 5573, dated 21st October 1874.

:Bombay Oaatle, 5th December 1878.
Despatch from Her Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for India, :No. 26, dated Slst October 1878 :- • • .
"The correspondence relative to the introduction of the survey assessment into ~ v;llages of th. Sirsi Taluka of the Kanar .. Collectorate, forwarded with your Chief Secretary's letter of the 18th September, No. 39 of ISi8, has been considered by me in Council.
"2. The present survey fixes the area and assessment, which were prev;ousl'y returned at 1,655 acres and Re. 2,264, at 2,8S8! acres and Rs. 5,522. This marked difference is explained by the fact that fraud and corruption prevailed under the old system among the subordinate native officials, in collusion with some wealthy land-owners, to the great detriment of Government. The rates propo.ed by Oolonel Anderson contemplated a maximum of Re. 0-12-0 on dry·crop land, ofRs. 40 on rice land, and of Rs. 14 on garden land. These are less than those sanctioned for otber jungle villages in the district, and may be pronounced moderate_ I approve, however, of collecting the increased assessment gradually, by instalments distributed over three years, as has be.n arranged by Your Excellency in Council, shonld the Collector deem such concession to be necessary.
" 3. The settlement has been snpported by the Collector and the Revenue Commissioner, Southern Division, and has been approved by Your Excellency in Council. I have no hesitation in granting my sanction to the arrangements proposed.
" 4. I desire that, in future, in similM cases, a sketcA map may always accompany the report. "

I have the honour to forward proposal. for the 81I1'Vey settlement' of (1.6) sixteen villages of the Mamlat<lars' Divisien of the Yellapur Taluka aud for thirteen (13) villages of Ih, Sirs TaIuka of the KILnara Collectorate.
* • * *
104
22. I now come to the villages of the Sirsi TAluka, (13) thirteen in number, whioh are ready for settlement this year; these include the town of Sirsi itself, som~ villages in clos. proximity to ~t. and one o~ two a little ¥her away.. You have for so~~ ~e hack b.oen d-: sirous of getting the survey settlement mtroduoed mto .the town of SJlS~ 1tself, and W1t~ this object the work has been pushed on "!' !'luch as possl~le here; and th18 !'ond a tew adJacent villages being now r~y for settlement, 1t 18 thonght adv! ... ble not to walt ~ill ~ greate~ number is ready, but to send m a supplementa~y repon on them, if they arc ready 1n tlme, for mtroduction of the settlement' in the current season.
23. This report is in oontinuation of my letters, the proposals made in which were 1!8DC
tioned by Government Resolutions No. 2711 of the 13th May 1873 and No. 2454 of the 13t·h lJay 1873 on part. of this talnka previously settled. ~here is nothing more to be said about t'he past maoagemen t or present circumstances of these villages than is said in those letters.
24. The rates proposed for these villages are identical with those sanctioned for villages already settled in the same vicinity, which have proved in every way suitable.
25. ;.!'he rice maximum rates vary from R •• 5 for the town of Sirsi and the village. close to that place or close to the great lines of road leading to it, to Rs. 4-8-0 for villages at a somewhat greater distance, and R ... 4 for two villages somewhat distant both from Sirsi and from any road. These rice lands are generally of very fair quality, the very heavy rainfall of these parts secures them a sufficient water-supply, and in the better class of these laods sugarcane is often grown in triennial rotation. The average rates dedllcted from these maxima are exceedingly moderate, as will be bereafter shown.
26. For the dry-crop lands, also, . three different maximum rates are proposed - Re. 1 for the first class villages near Sirsi and Be. 0-14-0 and Re. 0-12-0 for the two lower classes. In these lands rag; ali'a8 nachoi is the ordinary grain crop. ,
. 27. The garden lands are for the most part exceedingly good and of the kind described above in the 7th paragraph in reference to the Yelblpnr TAluka,; supAri and spioe gardens for these I propose the same rates as were sanctioned for 29 villages of the t81uka nnder Goverument Resolution No. 2454 of the 13th. May 1878. .
28. r n referenoe to these gardens producing cocoanut and supllri combined with spices. I may mention that in the contiguous talukas of Mysore, where similar gardons exist and to a very great extent, we found the old assessment of snch gardens ranging from Re. 20. even up to its. 40, per acre over the whole gardens of many villages, aud the survey rates over a whole Mluk .. averaged Rs. 18 per acre, greatly reducing the revenue hitherto realized in many villages. In addition to the land assessment on gardens there was also in Mysore .. " Halat" or excise on all supsri. cardamoms, or pepper exported from the provinoe, the actua.! realizations from which·I found amounted to fully Rs. 20 per acre and l'Oijulted in a reduction of the price paid to the producer by an amount eqna.\ to that paid by the e~porter. The extreme moderation of the survey rate of lis. 14 per acre on gardens may be inferred from this, notwitbetaoding that it does so largely add to the assessment.
29. The total area of these villages is acres 12,763 or 20 _quare miles. and the popnla-. tion* is 0,925 or 312 to the square mile; but as the town of
• Exclusive of Bhyrumbc" for Sirsi containing a population of 40 85F is included amODO' these :~bhe!=~!::edf population have vill~, this average to th~ squar~ miie is much greater °than is
• ordiuary in Kanar ...
30. Tbe following statement shows the annual recorded occupied area, collections and rem;...ions for the past twenty years; acres 1,424 are recorded as occopied in lS78-7~, while, according to the survey acres, 1,9i8 were found to be actually under occupation. The areas recorded ,as .. nnually occupied during past years are not worthy of much trust. The collections appear to have remained very constant during ,Ihe past twenty years, Rs -5,2111 being the lowest .. mount, and they never exoeeded Rs. 5,4~4. It cannot be supposed that the area actually occupied remained equally const-ant, the only presuwption is that, as a rule, every land-holder paid in ta.ch year as he had paid in the preceding year, and that additions to the cultimted area were not brought to account. 'I'he old area and collection for one small vilisge, Janmunee, 'is not included in Ih. above, as it could not be ascertained. This viII"""", is a detached hamlet of another village which has. not been yet surveyed, and. as usual, in KAnara the revenue returns are included in those c.f the parent village and cannot be separately eliminated. Jaomunee only contains, by the survey, aures 41; it cannot, therMol'<>, materially affect the figures shown above:-

Camp Goa, 218t April 1850.
I have ~he honour to transmit t"8 accompanr.ing ,pape\'ll reeeived from the Surv"y Commissionc .. , Southern DivisioD, containing proposa.s for the eurvey settlement' of 16 villages in the Yellipur Taluka and 13 villages iD th.e Si\'lli Taluka.
... ... * * • * • 6. The Survey Commissioner further proposes to introducetheeettiement into 13villages
of the Si\'lli TaJuka, iDchIding the town of Sirsi itself. ..As he states, I have heeD very desirouo to have the town of Sinli eettled; as much of the laDd Dear which the houses staDd is as ...... ble to the land revenue, and the limits of the holdingil were undefined, and. wmt a sonrce of mucb dispute.
7. Tl:.e village. now de"lt witb are similarly situated, anel in every way correspond "'ith villages settled in 1873 and 1878. Th- rat.s proposed are alike, an" I conoot· with the Survey Commissioner in hi. propo ... ls and a. to the grouping of the villages. The mcre .... shown here is less than that noticed above, and the reason ~iven sati.factorily accounts for it. However here, as c1oewhera, encroachments have heen made) the land occupied has heen unequally assessed for reasons already stated, and the resllit obviouslY mllst he -that when a regular survey settlement is introduoed, not only must there he a large increase all round, hut apparently a very e"~ive one in particular instauees. ' .
8,· Government are, no doubt, already aware of the great advantage enjoyed by the gardeu proprietOnl of Kanara over those of Myscre, tbe latter baving to pay the "Halut" or expori duty in adJition to th'e a.s .. ;ment, and the former havin!\, only the lanel asse.sment to pay. Tbe Survey Commissi mer clearly 'pointe this on~, and I eoncur entirely in the great moderation of the proposed demand. It' would not be politic to impoee higher rates at present as tbe ,.r..,ent inc ...... i. BnfficientlJ"large. and is as mnch as couJ.l be at once deman<led witb: out causing dissati.faction amongst an, important .... tion of tbe population. The .. people, altnough receiving large incomes from their properties. yet Jive under maoy disar]vantages. Their houses are isolated and .ituated in the moot feverish places, labour i •• c ... ·ce and mu.t be highly ,.aid, the outlay of capital mllBt be consHerabl.: if, therefore, the garden cultivation i. ultimately bighly ... munerative, the return, so laboriou~ly worked for .is no. more tban is' thoroughly deserved.
9. The g .. rden proprictore Gre gener .. lly Hawik Or Hyag .. B,ihmins, who import labonr iF"m the co .. st, and live all through the year in their own gardens.. Indnstrions and intelligent , yet as far as education goes, their ignorance is generally profound, as hitherto they have con: sidered it unnece;.-ary t;o. I.~rn to.read a~d write, 'bnt in th:. resJM!CI: matters. are now improving. and ten y"anl henee tbelr ,Ignorance will no longer, I truat, be a .tatiding reproach to the ~yaga Brahmins. ..
10, In .. 11 theseviII .. ges, in both talukas of YeIl&pnr and Sim, the concession. allowed under Government Rl!solution No. l)Sn, dated 21st Octoher 1874, will be admitted. The in~ea.sed assessment will thus be gradually ut.iJieed. The Local Funds C088 will, bowever,. be collected in foil at once. ,t.· ..
11 In conclusion. I bave tho honour to e"press my cordial conc~noe with the' Survey Commi •• ioner's. propo.als, and bope that they may receive .the early sanction of Government. I wonld also as~ that the same sanotion may extend ~o the introduction of the settlement in'o any viIIag"" which may be included in the supplementary reports now, promised; this will save delay, although I will lose no time in transmitting tbem for. sanction after they reach me. I trllBt that tbe, duty on which ~ am now engaged will be completed before the. seasen is over, as I consider it of imrortance that I should personally assi.t at the introduc~on of th ... settlement ••

The Honourable Colonel Anderson informs me demi-officially that he desires' to commence the settlement in the first week of next month, and that he leaves Bombay for tbat purpose on the 29th.

The principles of the settlement of North Kd:nara have long since bean approved by Government, and the. rates accord with those previously sanctioned for adjacent villag ...
I tr"st, however. that in future a reasonable time may be all~wed ~r t.he consideration and, if need be, the diecnssion of Fapers of this importance, and that, if poss,ble, they may be submitted to Government in type, as it is I have not even had time to take copies for my records •.

Colonel Anderson'. report embrace. proposals for the settlement of IS "illages, inclnding the town of Sirsi it •• lf. The character of the land and ~ltivation resembles, for the most part, that which has been des<'ribed as existing in Yellapur, and the rates proposed &re very much the same. The maximum j1arden ,...te of Rs. 14 per aore i. preoisely the same.

The generB.! remIt shows an increase of assessment from n •. 5,434 to R •• 8,175, or 52·8 per cent. The increase i. much less than in.Yelhipur, though the rates are almost precisely the same; but, this Colonel Anderson explains to be due to the fact that the villages a.II lie close to Sirsi, which was the head-quarters of the North 'XII.nara Collectors!e, and experience has fully established that in KII.nara villages thus situated under ,the immediate supervision of tbe authorities were subjeoted to a much stricter control and more equitable assessment than those which lay in remote quarters of the Collectorate and were able to evade their ju~ obligations.
Colonel Anderson's proposals are supported by the Colle<;tor, and as they seem to Government judicious and moderate, they are sanctioned. Colonel Anderson should report the numbe!> of y'ears for wliich the settlements in Yellll.pur and Sini now sanctioned should be gua.ranteed, !O that they may expire at the same time as other settlements made in the same to!.lukas.
4. In a.II the villages settled under ~he" sanction eonveyed in this Resolution, both in Yelh1pur a.nd Sirsi the provision. contained in Government Resolution No. 5573 of 21st October 1874, regarding the gradual introduction of the new rates, are to be observed.
5. The thanh of Government are due to Colonel Anderson for his ca.reful and well con aidered report.

. 3. Of th~se yill!,ges! t.hose to the sO';ltb are situated on or near to the grest high road leedlng from Hubli lI,d Sltsl and the Denmunee GMt to Kumta; this is a road of vtJry great tr~tfic; during the fair seasoq. thonsands of cart., mostly laden with cotton, go down to the coast ; thIS cart traffic oreates a great demand for, fodder, which is of. greet advanta2"e to the villages In the vicinity. The high road from Sirsi to Yellapur pas ... through the ;orthern villages
IIOW for settlement. This is not a road of IIny bnt trifling traffio, still it has its use as II local communication. Rice and Buptlri, the chief exportable produce of the .. villages, aTe, as .. ruIe, fetched from the villages by itmerant dealers working often in connection with a sawkar in one of the larger towns.
4. Rice is,the chief grain produce, sugarcane is grown to some e:dent in the lower rice lands in occasional rotation with rica. The dry-crop grain is confined to ragi alias nAchni, the common grain in wet and jungly districts:' The garden cnltivation is that commcn to all this part of K~ra, Supan or areca nut is grown to great perfection often to the extent of a thousand trees to the acre. around the supari trees the pepper vine and the pl1nvel, the creeper which 'produces the leaf eaten with th"-areca. nut, may one or the other oommonly be seen and cardamoms also below and in the spaces I)etween the supari tress are very nsually grown. Plantains are also to b. ccnstantly found in the snp'ri gordens, coccanute may he oftsn seen, . but the number of these is small in proportion to that of the sup/1ri trees. '
5. The following statement shows the alleged area under occnpation, the fnll ....... ment. the remissions and the actual collections for every alternate year of the last twenty. The fluotuations in the collection are as usual very small between the first and tlte last year, the difl'el'euce not being over Rs. 700. The area as shown in acres is based partly on the me ... urement takon about 1824-1826 supplemented by additiona.l measurement. of newly occupied land made by the Rhanbhoge at various times since. The arell thus shown ... occupied is in this case nearer the truth than might be expected. That of our iurvey appears as acres 10,437 against; acr~ 7.694 of the village accounts :- '

11. The general result is an apparent increase of the old assessment from Rs. 36,805 t() Rs. 43,8940 an increase of 19'2 per cent. This i. not, however, the true amount of the increase, Bince the old revenue includes that due and collected on ~mlets . of' villages included in the proposed settlement, while the hamlets being detached do not come under that settlement and there are no means of separating the old revenue appertaining to the hamlet from that apper-. taining to the yillage with which i~ is collected. There is also another and the reverse form of anomaly which has however a similar effect in preventing a comparison of the old and new revenue. A Devasthan or temple holds considerable areas of Government lands scattered throughout many villages of the taluka, for all these scattered lands, wherever situated, the temple pays revenue in one lamp sum without any means ·of ascertaining what proportion is due to the lands in any- one village. l.'he total payments of the temple are "entered in the present revenue now shown, but we know that the survey J"evenue of lands in some villages is. not included, though in how many villages or to what amount we cannot tell, and shall not ~now till thll survey i. completed m the rest of the Wuk... My impression is that the total mcrease .0£ revenue in these villages may really amount to between 30 and 50 per cent.
12. In the complete villages the total old ~ new ... sess~~nts of which can be brought into comparison the usual excessive inequality of assessment is found to exist, and the inequality as a general rule assumes the larger proportion the smaller the village is, the village in such cases consisting prohably of one or two kJialeh, or _rg • .. hich . hav.e in past times secured a favourable assessment. In tI!.ese villag es a~ thro~ghout Kanara. the concession rego.rdin g tAe jl"radual imposition of ~he new rates of assessment when they are much in excess of the old :will take effect in BC~' .dance with Government Resolution No. 5573, datod 21st October 187.4.

14. The statistics of these villages have not been entirely' made up; they are complete for nineteen villages only }Vbich show a population of 68 to the square mile and 479 to the. square mile of occupied .. r.... The total are .. of these nineteen villages is 38 square miles, and the paplllati!ln 2,397. The rate of population of the whole nllDlber of villages does .not probably materially difIer from this as cultivation iB g~nerally confined to small tracts near viJlage .ites, village being separated from village by consIderable tracts of intervening forest land.

16. It will not, of course, be possible to introduce the new rates of assessment in the .. ' villageB 80 as te> take .ffect in 1881-82, but the detailed papers will be made out after sanction is obtained and the new rates will be introduced in the coming field season and take effect in 1882-83.

I have the honour to submit, for the sanction of Government, proposals received from Colonel W. ·C. Anderson, late Survey and Settlement Commissioner, for introducmg new rates of assessment into 56 villages of the Sirsi ·l'aluka •
. 2. The rates have on former occasions been discussed and approved.
3. ·1 have no objections to raise, and think the villages are rightly classed. Tbe road from Sirsi to Yell6.pnr is now bridged throughout aud is open for eart traffic, which will be a great advantage to the many villeges situated in ita neighbourhood. •
4. The rates can be introduced dumig next fair !!eason.

Submitted for the formal sanction of Government,
2. The 56 villages to be settled are intermingled. with other groups of villages of this Mluke. into which the survey settlement has already been introduced under four different Gov-ernment Resolutions. .
3. A full description of the country ani its resonrnes and prospeets, and of the condition • of the people and their mode of life and cultivation, has already heen given by Colonel Anderson, and the rates of assessment are similar to those already imposed. .
4. No remarks appear neeessary. (Signed) ARTHUR CRAWFORD,

:Memorandiun from the Commissioner, Southern Division, No. 2035, dated 10th Au~ 1881, • forwarding a letter (No. 3016 of 1881) from the Conector of Kanara,. who submits, for sanction, proposals received from Colonel W. C. Anderson late Survey and Settlement Commissioner, for introdueing new rates of assesement into 56' villages of the Sirsi TaJuka. .
. RESOLtlTIOH.-The 56 villages to which these proposals relate are adjacent to villages into which the survey settle,,:,ent has been introduced. Accordingly it i. unnooessary to discnss at length the reasons which are held to justify the rates proposed, as they are similar to thoee "!,,,if!11ed 01.' seve,al former occasions, when ~roposals wer'! made regarding villages which are similarly Sltnated and possess the same phYSIcal charactenstics.
117
2. Colonel Anderson has divided the villages for the purposes ot the settlement into two groups. Twenty-three of them are situated neo.r the main road from Hubli to Kwnts, and on aooonnt of the demand for fodder, which is due to the considerable cart traffio on that road, the rice and dry land rat .. proposed are higher than in the rest. These others. however, are not distant from the road between Sirsi and Yellapur, on which there is little traffic, but by which surplus produce can readily be cartied. The rate. are as follows :~

The rice land and dry-crop ratee oorrespond to those which have already been sanctioned f~r 80me part. of ths toUuka, and are lower than those whioh have been sao ctioned for other parts .. For garden land a uniform maximum rate of Rs. 14 per acre has beeo adopted for' the whole taluka. Government see no reason to donbt that these rates are moderate, and are pleased to sanction them.
S. The area of the villa"i>es a8 now measured is 10,487 acres; . in the former acconnts it Was entered a. 7,694 acres. The effect of the neW rates will be to raise the total asseSsment from R •• 3G,80S to Re. 44,149, or by 19'2 per "Cent. Here, however. as in other parts· of KMara, it is not possible to know whether or not all the hamlets belonging to the villages as formerly constituted have been included in the· measurement of the Survey Department. Colonel Anderson thinks they have not. and accordingly that the inorease of revenue may even-tually appear to be from SO to 110 per cent. .
4. The rates should be introduced next fair season and should be oolleoted from 1882·83, but with .uch modification. for the first two ysars as prescribed in Government Resolution No. 557S, dated 21st October 187~. The period of guarantee should be fixed so as to expire with that of the rest of the Mluka, or if different periods have already been fixed for different part. of the taIuka, with that of the adjacent villages, and should be at once reported to Gov-ernment for sanction. • \

SIB, . . . I have the honour to sublDlt proposals for the survey settlement of 18 vill",",""s of the
Sirs! TaIuka. which lie on the YeUapur border to the right and left of the Sirsi-Yell1\pnr road.

3. The villages now reported on ran readily into one group for the purposes of as_=ent and the rates proposed are indentical with those sanctioned and found suitable for adjoining villages already settled: they are as follows, for rice a maximum rate of Re. 4, for dry-crop a maximum of 12 annas, and for garden land Re. 14. The average rates deduced from these
, maxima will be shown later in this report.
4. The total area of the 13 villages is 24,611 acres, or 38 square miles, and the popula· tion numbers 937 only, or 25 heads 'to the square mil.. This exceedingly low mte is due to the very large proporti6n of uncultivable forest cemprised within the boundariea of these villages ; the cultivable area is ouly ],399 acres, which if taken as tbe basis of the calenlation. would give upwards of 400 souls to the square mile, Three of the villages under report are uninhabited, and ccntain only a few acres of cultivable land, which is all waste and hitherto unassessed. '
5. In the subjoined table is given the revenue history of the 13 villages, .0 far as'it is ascertainable from tbe taluka accounts, for the last 20 years. 'l'he acres reccrded are not to be taken as accurate, nor is it to be supposed that the area actually cultivated varied so little from year to year as would appear from these figures. As is usual in the unsettled part of KruJara tbe big holders have been paying regularly th~ same anunal rent, apparently indiJferent, in view of the low demand, whether defaulting sub-tenants left part of their land untilled or inereased energy and a favoomble season enabled them to extend their cultivation&:-

The .. ,d.ting assessment, thetefore, will be rai.ed from Rs. 1,60S to 2,976, an inc .......... of 85'7 per cent. in spite of the average rates being exceedingly moderate as shown in the last preceding paragraph. The nnevenness and deficiency of the existing assessment are strikingly instanced by the pereentage differences shown in oolumn 23 of the statement accompanying this repcrt.. Yedihali, to take the firot village . on the list, is shown to have been paying Rs. 28 as the assessment on 9 acres of g&nien, 31 acrelt of rice, and 7 acres of dry.crop land 'fhe survey assessment averages Rs. 9·8·11 on the garden area, Re. 2·8-3 on the rice and 'I annas on the dry.crop soil, bringilig the total to Rs. 163 or an increase on the old assessment of 48lH per cent. Instanoes, however, of this nature are not without precedent in the history of KI1nara sealements; and oonsidering that these villages were comparatively remote from Sirsi, the head-quarters of the Madras Administration, wben the existing assessment was framed, are easily acconnted for. In snch cases and many others, the provisions of Government Resolution No. b573 of 21st October 1874 will effect the gradual impcsition of the new assessxnent, and will prevent a too sudden increase. .

In forwarding the settlement report of 13 villages in the Sirsi T8.luka prepared by Mr. Fletcher, Superintendent of Survey, 1 have the honour to state that the rates are in my opinion perfectly fair and ......, .... ble, and. I bave no hesitation in recommending them for the .ssuction of Government. If this can be. obtained before the 20th: of :May, I sball he most happy to introduce the rates by the end of the month, as my camp will be at Yellapur ana I can most conveniently move on to MaD<lhikeri, which will form a oentral place at which the rayats, of the villages to be settlQ3., can attend. I shall also feel obligoed if you can arrange to .instrnct Mr. Wingate to assist me inintrodu$g the rates before he returns to Dharwar. . .

To TH.II COM:MISSIONER, S. D.
Sm,
Surv.y (Jo",,,,;,,;.""", Office, Camp .i.m6oli, 5tla May 1889.
I have the hononr to submit a report from Mr. Fletcher, Superintendent, Southern Mara-N 439 dated 26sh A ·ll883 tba Country', Revenue Survey, proposing rat .. for the settlement G·. pn. of 13 villaie. of the Sirsi Taluka of the Kanar .. Collectorate.
lIfr. Candy, the Acting Collector, through whom the report has been submitted, has expr~ his full app~"al of these proposals.
. 2. No traoing showing the position of the villagtls included in the report has as yet been recoi\'ed from Mr. Fletcher, but in orderio avoid delay I have camet! a map of the taluka to be ooloured in my offioe and beg to append it. The villages referred to in this report lie in the north-west oorner of the t8.luka and are shown under-lined with red ink. •
. 3. The proposals for these ·villages should be considered in connection with those for 29 vi1la,.."",. of the same Mluka which were made by the late Survey Commissioner in his No. 417 of 20th April 1878 aud sanctioned by Government Resolution No. 2454, dated 13th May following. .Had the ~Iassification of the .. villages been completed in time the JIl'Oposals for
• No 462, dalod 81 t Jl 1881 their. settlement. could have been added to the report - on &6 vil-• • .' sy • !ages submitted in 1881; but tbe season came to an end before
the work could be finished, and owins to tbe cla,sing establishments being fully engaged ~ "'here, it has not been found possible to take them np until the present season. I agree with Mr. Candy that it is very de"rable that this settlement, which will fill up a gap in the settlt!moot plan of the Wuk.., should be, if possible, introduoed during the present fair season and would, therefore, ask the favour of your submitting the report to Government .o"tbat orders
• may be lI'8sed thereon before the 20th instant. If sanction oould be communicated to me by t~logral'h, it would make the timely introduetion of the rates more certain. I'am aware of the objection of Government to hurried sanctions of this kind, but the circumstances are .xceptional and no avoidable delay has beon permitted. The finishing .atruke was given to the classi-

fication .. soon as tbe present' "';son opened iIJ Kanara, but returns bad to be prepared' ~d tbe . garden sta\ements bad to be cbecked by myself before tbe proposals. could be formulated. In the event of Government agreeing to the immediate introduction of tbe rates, I beg to request that the date of receiving resignations under Section 74 of the Land Revenue Code be extended up to 5tb June nett. •
40. The condition of these villa!l'es and the circumstances of tbe population have been fully described by Mr. Fletcber, and hi. remarks, added to those recorded by the late Survey Commissioner on former settlements in tbe Sirsi Taluka, leave me but little to say .. Tbe tract in wbicb tbe villages are situated is a very rugged one, tbe cultivation being almost entirely confined to tbe 'illages lying between forest-clad hills. 1'he Cultivable area i. but 5'6 per cent. of ~be total area. . •
5. Altliough tbe position of tbe villages nnder report is generally better than that of tbe villages settled under Government Resolution No. 2454 of 13th l\fuy 1878, on account of tbeir greater proxilnity to the Yeilltpur and Sirsi Road, it is· proposed to extend tq tbem the same low maximum rates, viz., 12 ann ... pEll". acre for dry.crop land, Rs. 4 for rice and Rs. H for garden. The small area of eultivation wbich these villages contain is very good of it. kind, especially the garden cultivation which is carried on in the depressions between the hills and on soil Temaining moist throughout the year so as to require no a.rtiiicial irrigation. Such garden cultivation is very productive while at the same time most economically conducted. The ave .... age rate pera.cre' resulting from the imposition of these m,!ximum rates' is Re.0-6-1 for drycrop, Rs. 2-2-0 for rice and Rs. 11-1l-8 for garden land. The e"isting assessment, which i. Rs. 1,603, will be increasei accordillg to the proposed rat .. to Re. 2,976 or by 85'7 per cent. This would appear at first sight to be a heavy increase, b.y; it has ffequently been exceeded in the history of I{ltn8ra settlements, and more especially in tracts which, like that under consideration, have been far removed from the supervision of the higher revenne authorities and where a system of assessment, at the hest founded upon very hazy principles, bas been completely deprived of all principle by the process of concealment and hood-winking Ilal"ried on by the Shanbhogs and unchecked by the inferior Revenue officials.
6. The total unsuitability and inequality of the present rates are well illustrated by the case of the first village in the list app~ded to Mr. Fletcber's report in which the survey rates
• will cause 8n unusually large percentage enhancement. The whole cultivated area of this. village i. 47 acres, 9 acres being garden, 31 rice and 7 dry-crop. The present assessment on the whole is Re. 28, a demand which might reasonably ~e imposed on 3 acres of such garden land as the village possesses. The demand according to the survey rates will become Ro. ~63, .. resnlt obtained by BOch low average ".tea as 7 annaa per acre for d.y-crop, Rs. 2-6-3 for rice and R8. 9-8-11 for garden land .. It i8 clear that in the ",e of a village assessed like this one the introduction of any systematic assessfnent of the land, acre for acre, :must produce a hesvy inOl""se, 'rhe weight of the enhancement, however, in this village and in other villages will be tempered by the application of the concessions sanctioned in Government ·Resolution No. 5573 of 21st October 1874, which provide for the gradual levy of the total demand.
. 7. In conclusi9n, I have the honour to request that if tbese rat .. receive the approval, of Government they may be guaranteed for a period of 16 years, i .•. , from 1883-84 t<> 1898-99, in pursuance of the scheme of·gnarantees in the KAnara District, proposed by me in my lette, No. 1822, dated 1Qth September 1880 and sanctioned by Government Resolution No. 6150, dated 19th October followi!lg. .

Memorandum from the Commissioner, Southern Division, No. S. R.-472, dated 9th May 1883, forwarding a letter (No. 93.'; of 1883) from the Survey and Settlement Commissioner, who forwards a report No. 439, dated 26th ultimo, trom Mr. Fletcher, Superintendent, Soath-· em Manltha Country Revenue Survey, proposing rates for the settlement of 13 villages of
. the Sirsi T.lnka of the Kanam Collectorate ; observing that Mr. Candy, th~ 'Acting Collector, through whom the report has' heen snbmitted, expresses hi. full approval of these'proposal. i .tates that he agrees with Mr. Candy that it is very desirable that this settlement should be, ' if possible, introduced during the present fair .... 'on; adds tbat sanction may be communicated to him by telegraph, which would make the timely introduction, of the ratea more certain, aud requests that if the rates p~ive the approval of Government, they may be guaranteed for a period of 16 years, i.e. from J808-84 to 1898-99. •
RESOLUTlON.-TheI3 villages to which these proposals relate adjoin the group of northern villages for which survey rates were sauctioned in Government Resolution No. 5175, dated 8th' 15eptember 1881, and would have been- included' in that. group if the claseification had been completed in time, The .ame mW'IlUm rates, viz., Rs. 14 for garden land. 'R •. 4 for rice land and Re. 0-12-0 fo\" dry-crop land, are accordingly proposed. The suitability of th.ese rates in villages under preci,ely the .ame 'conditions having been reco~nized, they are .~nctioned also for the villages reported upon. The average dry,.crop rat .. (Re. 0-6-1) is somewhat greater than that (Re. 0-5-6) in the northern villages to which Governmelit Resolution No. 517o, date4 8th ~:eptember 1881, relates, but the average rate. for. rice and garden lands (Rs"2-2-0 31111 R., ll-ll-S) are lower. ,
2. The effect of the new rates is to raise the assessment of the total cu1turable .. rea of the IS villages from Re. ],603 to Rs. 3,026 or by 88'7 per cent. In the case of one village the inC(9a.e is no less than 482'1 per cent., but that is without doubt the result of the fact that unauthorized encroachments on unassessed land 'have taken place to a large extent. The remarkable similarity between the area ascert~ined by the late survey and that entered in the "!lvenue accounte may "'ppsar to conllict with this view. . Ml·. Fletcher thinks t~t tho aree. ~ntered in the revenue accouut. includes Innd belonging to the same occupants in other village. which have already been settled. It is believed, ho\Vever, that the rough snrvey undertaken
. in IH25 extended to this part of the disttict, but the object of that survey was to fwsh the means of correeting glaring inequalities in the assessment, and this correction has Dot till now been carried out. The old a .. essment W8S intended to be aud no doubt was fahly equal; the inequalities are clearly not uccounted for by improvement of the land aetually assessed, and must therefore be due to encroachments made at some time or otl¥lr. The greater the inequality the larger are the ""banoements in individual cases which are required to correot it. In most of these case., however, the full survey assessment on the cultivated numbers will, in aceordance with·Govel'llment Resolution No. 5573, dated 21st October 1874, not be levied til! the third year of the settlement, 50 percent. of t1>e increase being levied in the firat and 7 il per cent. in the .. oond year. . .
3. A 8 requested by Mr. Stewart, the sanction of Government to the rates proposed has all'!'ady been communicated to him by telegraph, and the last date for receiving re.ignations of. land should be extended to 5th June next. The recommendation that the rat.es should beguaranteed for.I6 years so that the period may expire at the same time as those for which the ,""s have been guaranteed for other villages in the. .ame t.aluka is also approved.

SIR,
·Survey /Superintendent" Office, Camp Bontlvar, 3rd .April' 1884.
I have the honour to forward for the consideration of Government proposals for the ';'ttlement of 21 villages of the Sirsi Taluka.
2. As in the case of the 24 Supa villages recently reported on, the villages of Sirsi now Government Heoolution No. 1275 of 19th March 1872. under report merely form an instalment of a Government Reaolution No. 2711 of 13th M&y 187:1. settlement the conditions of which have been Governmect aeoolution No. 2454 of 18th Moy J878. already fully discussed and approved by Gov-Government Resolution No. 2485 of 12th M&y 1880. d eed d . Goyernment ReBOl1dion No. 6176 of 8th September. ernment, an I n 0 no more than quote In
J881. the margin the papers in which all information Government l!eJolution No. 4024 of 25th May 1888. on the subject will he found.
S. The 21 villages referred to in this report form a compact group,. which lies on the west of the Yellapur-:;irsi Rgad, and has the advantage of being traversed as well by the road from Sirsi to Hulekal, its nearest village beiag not more than Bix miles from Sirsi. It com· prises a tract of 59 square miles with a total population of 4,151 souls. The average density therefore is 70 head of population to the square mile, which is a good deal higher than in many parts of Kanara above Ghats; the total cultivable area is 41,772 acres, which is equa.!, roughly speaking, to lth of the whole, the remainder being forest. ,
4. The revenue history of the villages nnder report for the last twenty years is given in the subjoined table. The diminished amonnt of collections shown against the ooncluding two years is apparent only, and is due to the inclusion up to that year of certain Majres of Math Dewal,which being- then settled, have since been excluded from the lump revenue of thst village. No means exist of separating the revenue of these villages from the lump revenue shown in the e .. rlier years. There is, it will be Been, as is usual in Kanara, little or no fluctuation in the yearly amounts collected from the 21 villages now dealt with, and nQ comment .eems called for in regald tothis part of the subject.

From THE 'COLLECTORI or KA'NARA;
To • THE SURVEY AND SETTLEMENT COMMISSIONER,
Bombay •.
Camp Yellapur, Htl. April 188~.
SIR, I have the honour to forward, herewith, proposals for the settlement of twenty-one vi1lagee
of the Sirsi Taluka submitted by the Superintendent, Revenue Survey, and to express my CODcurrence in .the ro.te~ proposed.
2. The old I1118eBSment collected is Ro. 9,071, while that under the proposed snrvey rates is Rs. 13,839 on the occupied lands. The increase, which i. a little above 52 per cent., i. due, as detailed on previous occasions, to the inequality of the old asse .. men~ and the loose and unsyste-. matio old mea.surements of the lands then ShOWll as occupied.
S. The percentage of increase for ea.ch village, which has not been shoWll separately in the atatement accompanying the Superintendent's report, is as shown helow :-

4. The reasons for non-fluetuations in the old revenne, alluded to ,in paragraph 4 of the SllperiDtendent's report, are as follows :-Under the old We.rgawa.rieystem, which was in force while the district was under the Moo1'1l8 Presidenoy, all land. were comprised in Wargs or Estates. These Warga were of two classes, vis., Bharthi, or those which paid the full old .. ssessment, and Kambharti (not paying full assessment and nuder enquiry) or Tanki W ar~s. Up to the transfer of the district (1862) the amonnt to be paid on each of ""ch "Kambhartl" Warg was fixed every year at the Jamabandi after some enquiry (Tanki). But in 1862-63 Mes8l'll. Goldfin.!h and Shaw Stawart, the then Collectors, settled that .. oertain fixed amount should be paid on each of such Kambharti Warga, and the rest of the assessment was to be entered under permanent remissions, until the survey settlement, the amount of such !'emissions being included in the nominal remissions in the Jamabandi Accounts nnder Government Resolution No. 1029 of 1874. Hence the amount of col1ections has remained nearly the same annually without much lluctnations for the last 20 years.
• . D. The apparent decrease of Ro. 2,100 between the figures of collootions np to 188('-81 ..,d those for the two snbsequent years is nominal, as explained by the Superiutendent in the 4th paragraph. The land. belonging to the different maths and tempI .. in Sondah, which exist in all the different parts of the taluka. had been comprised in one village under the name Mathde,,-..1 with an old assessment of Ro. 9,089-9-10. In the survey many of the Me.zras of this one village were made into sepamte villa,.ooes, and many more will have to he similarly treated as the'seUlement i. introduced. •
B 1365-33
130 .
But the old lISSessment of each of BUch Mazras could not he given separately inasmuch as it is no~ so shown in detail in the old a.OOount~. .
6. I ';'",y mentio~ here that a question has heen lately raised in connection with a claim. to the hereditarl Shanhhogship 6f the Ma,,""lli of Sambrani in the Sopa Talukg as to the el:pediency of increasmg the number of villages at the settlement by'separating the rid Mazras or hamlets from the parent ~iI1agss. In the presen~ proposa!s thirteen ¥azras will be made into separate villages. Eleven of ~hese Ma.zras were !Deluded 10 the old village called M athdeWliI. As before stated these lands are scattered aJ1 over the taluka, and it appears, tjlerefore, more convenient to oo~stitute them intQ separate villages. No reasons. are assigned for .eparatiog the Mazra of Ka.dve from Bomanha.lli (Nos. 1 'and 2) or Mszra Magode from Itha.nhalli. Iu the latter case the areas both of the former village (4,681 acres) and the hamlet (2,634 acres) are perhaps sufficiently Jarge to make separation unobjectionable; but in the ease of Bomanhalli
. and Kadve, whose oombined area is only 1,372 acres, I Bee DO special reasous for taking the eourse. The result of the survey operations in this district hitherto has been to mUltiply villages by separating hamlete. There may be good r~ons for this, whieh are at pre.ent unknown to me, buill do not think that this el:cessive sui)divisioD is likely to make the.revenue administr .... tion more easy. In any ease such changes should not, I think, be made without in each case fully stating the res.eons which make the subdivision exped.ient.
7. In conclusion, I would request that early sanction be granted in order that the rates may be notified in May. The 5th of June may then be fixed as the date of relinquishment of .lands under Section 74 of the Land Revenue. Code.
. The usual notice will be given as to the reservation of the trees mentioned in Section 91 of the roles as well as Muth and Honne as decided by Government Resolution No. 1518 of the
. 18th February 1884.
The map tQ accompany the Superintendent's report has Dot yet been received from the Photozincographic Office. It will be forwarded as soon as received.
I have the honour to be,
Sir,

. . ,Resolutions noted in the margin. It is impossible to say exactly how many villages remnin to be settled, as until operations are quite completed we caunot tell how many of the scattered and hitherto unrecognized bamIets will have tQ be constituted into separate villages. In Kuara there are often found to be numerous hamlets of a Bingle village at" considerable distances from it, and some hamlets have even been known to be in a different taIuka from the parent .village. As a rule, whenever a village and its hamlet can be conv~ently measured off into II single village it is done; but cireumstancee
131 ,.
have compelled the Survey to make many.hamlets into distinet and se"""ate villages. A copy of Mr. Vidal'. remarks on this subject (is in his wagraph 6) has been sent to the Superintendent in order that any unnecessary.increase in the number of villages may he avoided in future •
. 3. The villages for which a survey settlement i. now proposed lie in a oompact group of. ahout 59 .quare miles to the west of the road from Sirsi to Yel1!(pur. This tract is unilulatin'g in character without being rugged. aud what with the road to Hulekal aud the main road which .kirts it, is not .hut off from ooJilmumoations to the extent that tracts in Kana ... are often fonnd to be. Only about ith of the area is fit for cultivation, the rest being occupied by weH.grown forests. The population is unusually large for a K4naia jungle tract, and there is presumably a good supply of lahOl.r, of -which ·in other parts of the distriet there is a great scarcity to the detrinient of the supari garden cultivation.
4. The .... enue hieto'ry of these villages since 1863.64 ia given in paragragh 4 of Mr. Fletcher's report. The existing settlement is the "Wargwari" or "Tbarsw ' settlement introduced into these palts about 60 years ago. lJ nder this system a fixed assessment 'Was laid on each "W arg" or estate. It soon, however, came to be understood that the full assessment could not be levied from aH estates • .., a distillction was subsequently made betweon estate. which could afford to pay tho full assessment and those which could not. The forme» were called" Bharti " the latter "·Kambharti." In process of time a resettlement was made of the U Kambharti" estates which were divided into three clas .. s·: let, " Vaida, " or those for which ... gradu.lly ascending ,cale of assessment was fixed· until the full demahd was reached; 2nd; .. Board Sifarish," or those tbe assessment of which was permanently reduced. by order of tbe Revenue Board; and Srd, .. Tanki." or those left for assessment from time to time. The »evenue would have shown considerable fluctuations had it not been that in 1862 a oomposition for a j)xed payment was made with the holders of " Kambharti " estates, which was to the last until the survey aettlement; hence. the stea.dinoss of the demand up·to 1881:.82. The apparent fa.Uing off in that year is due to the revenue of certain hamlets of Mathdewal, furmerly included in the accounts of that village. having come under the survey settlement with, a.nother group of villages and being therefore deducted. •
. 5. The rates proposed for these 21 villages follow the syetem of rating hitherto sanctioned .for the Sirs;' TRluka and Bl'e fixed on those of adjoining villages.. The maximum rate proposed for rice is Rs. 4, for dry crop' Re. 0-12-0, and for garden Rs. 14. Th· garden lands of this tract are very fine. There are few which are not thickly plantad with sup4ri trees interspersed with cardamoms and other spices. They are chiefly sitn..ted in depressions between hillocks and are independent of irri~ation, tlie soil lieing of the class technioally called "Ango.Ia.va," i .•.• containing moisture in Itself., The aver.".,.., rate resulting for rice land i. Rs. 2·0·3, for dry crop Re. 0-4.S, and for garden Rs. 12·9-2. The two former are manifestly .moderate ; the somewhat liigh rate of ~he last description of land is due simply to the excellence of th~ garden lands and the.adva~tage. they enjoy.
6 •. There his been some delay in forwaroling this report, whioh is due to the deficiencies in the map, which were di'covered in the office, and regarding which references had to be made. A corrected map i. DOW being printed and copies will be forwarded direct to Government. It is now •• mewhat late in the se.son, but if panetion to these proposus is telegraphed to the Superintendent at DMI'",'r, an effort ,,·ill be made to introduce. the rates during next month. For this purpose the 30th June may be fixed as the date up to which relin'l.uishments of land. may be' recei ved under Section 7·4 of the Lan~ Revenue Code.

2. The present proposals relate to- the intronuction of survey settlement inS villages and IS hamlets or M!",ras of the Sirsi TRInka of the K!l.nara Collectorate. The latter (hamlets) are proposed to be rrused to the statuI of independent villages for the first time. The Collector SeeS no objection to this ehange in the case of 11 of the hamlets, wliich formerly formed part of the Mathdewal estate, bnt the expediency of separating Kadvi and Mogadi from their parent villages i. ~ot apparent, and nnless 'sufficient reasons are shown sanction for thei~ separation should be wIthheld.. When lately ou tour, the Acting Commissioner noticed the very great increase of independent village.hips thAt were c",ated at the time of the survey without apparently any refeNnce tG the Oollector. The und • .rsigned, therefore, drew the attention of the

Collector to this matter. Mr. Vidal's remarks on.this point (p .. ragraph'ti) have the entire concurrence of the Acting Commissioner, .nd he is glad that Mr. Stewart hasinstmcted his· subordinates to avoid any unnecessary incre"se of villsges in futnre.
S. ' The total area of the tract now proposed to be settled is 37,856 acres, or 59 square • miles with a tota.l population of 4,151 souls. The proportion of tot .. 1 cultivable (4,772 acres)
and ~ultivated (3,722 acres) areas to the total popUlation is 1'1 and '89 respectively. This cannot be said to allow a large margin for future extension of cultivation, but as the tract is mostly cove!ed with thi~k jungle, it is uulikely: that. any considerable demand for new cnlti.ation will arlBe, at least m the next 30 years, Which will be the term of the settlement.
4. As all the villages al'!' similsrly circumstanced in point of climatic'and other advantages, . such as accessibility to markets and main communications, they
• Dry crop land Rice d~~ Garden do.
Bs. .. p. have properly been grouped in one clas.. The maximum rates * ... ~ I~ g proposed for different descriptions of land, are the same a. have ::: u' 0 0 already been sanctioned and found suitable for adjoining villages. . l'hey appear to the undersigned to be fair. The average rate
for garden lands (Rs. 12-9-2) is somewhat high, but considering the excellence of the supari . gardens of this tra.ct, for which the Acting Commissioner can vonch by personal inspection, the rate cannot be deemed excessi ve. .
5. The financial result of the settlement will be an increase of revenue from Rs. 9,OiO to Rs. 13.839 ot 52 per cent. This is less than what has been secul'ed in other settlements in Kanara ab~ve gMts. It must also be remembered that . thi~ is t~ first revision of late~ to which the tract has been sUbjected for about 60 years, dunng which there have been conslder-' able accretions to the valuable estates held by Wargdars by encroachments ul?on primev,,1 forests and other waste lands. .

Settlement of 21 villages of the Sirsi Taluka, Kanam Collectorete.

Memorandnm from the Commissioner. Sonthern Division, No. 2031. dated 30th May 1884. • •
Forwarding a letter No. 1055, dated 22nd idem, from the Slll'Vey and Settlement Com-Letter from the ~uperintendent. Revenue Survey, Southern missioner, who submits the papers
Maliltha Country, No. 325. dated Ird April 1884. noted in the margin relatigg to the Letter hom the Collector of KIInara, No. 1/;68, daled 14th settlement of 21 vmages of the Sirsi
April 1884,. Taluka of the Kanara. Collectorate.
RESOLUTION ,-The 21 villagee to which the pl'll/lent proposals relste are situated OIi the we~t of the 214 villages of the Sirsi TaJuka, . which have been already Bettled under sanction conveyed in Resolutions of- Government ending with Resolution No. 4024, dated 25th May 1883. The present villages adjoin those of which the settlemeut was sanctioned in that Resolution and in Resolution No. 5175, dated 8th September 1881, and the same maximum retes are proposed, viz" Rs. 14 for garden land, Rs. 11 for rice land, and Re. 0-12-0 for dry-crop land. l'he average ratei'Poposed for gardeu land, Rs. 12-9-2, though higher than that sanctioned·in the Resolution of 1883, is lower than that sanctioned in the Resolution of 1881. The average rates proposed fOl' rice and dry-crop land, as. 2.0-3 and Re. 0-'-3, respectively, are lower tha.n those previously sllonctiOl),ed.
2. The 21 villages form a compact group on the west' of tho. Sirsi and YeI1apur road and are tI:aversed by the road froni Sirsi to Hulekal. The area comprised js 37,856 "Cl'es, or about 59 square miles, of which about one-eighth only is cultivable, the remainder being forest. Thirteen of the villages are under the eristing revenue system only, Mazras Qr hamlets. It is desira.ble that in future the Superintendent should confer with the Collector before submitting his propossJs for converting 'hamlets into distinct vill"ges, but in the present' instance there appears to be no objection to the course proposed. Excessive sub-division of existing villages is to be deprecated, but on the other hand the inconvenience arising from hamlets being .eparated from their parent village by lands of other villages might sometimes constitute a sufficient ,'Ill\son for the separate recognition of the hamlets.
8. The result of the proposed settlement is to raise the existing revenue of Rs. 9,070 from occupied land to Rs. 13,889, an increase of 5:? per cent. As remarked by the Superintendent and the Commissioner, Southern Division, this increase has usually been exceeded in the settl .. mente of K~n~Vill""aes above the gMts. 'The reasons which justify a large enhancement of assessment on .. h •. introduction of an original survey settlement .into this district have been fully consider on former QCcasioD,S, and tta increase proposeQ, in the present instance can only be pO)lSi<j,ered m erat~.' .
133
4.. The ColleCtor a!Id Commissioner, Southern Division, concur in the propo!!a1s awle by the Superintendent and supported by the Survey Commissioner, and the l'IIotes are sallctioned accordingly. Permission baa been communicated by telegraph to the Collector to introdllce the rates· during the present season. The date for the relinquishment cf occnpancies may be
·extended to the 30th JoDO, as reoommended by the Survey CommissionerM As a' rule it.;" undesirable to introdlloe new rat .. so late in the season, bnt in consideration of the difficultie. attending settlement operations in K4nara, au esoeption may reasonably be made in the present instance. . ' • .
5. The rates may be guaranteed for a period to ... pire at the s .. me time as the periods for whioh the rate. introduced at the other :Ji:anara settlements )lave been guaranteed. . •• •

SIB,
I bave the hononr to submit proposals for tb surv~y'settlement of 21 villages of (hEt Sirsi TI1luka of yonr Collectorate.
2. With two exception8'these villages are sitnated on, or qnite near to, the made-road leading from Sirsi to Siddapur, .. nd thence to the co .. st ~ia the Malimani GMt and the MysorEt country. They are all within a rallius 0114 miles from Sirsi, most of them being well within that distance. • . .
3. The two exceptioDs noted above are Hangar Dnd Mugilkop. Hang .... lies close to the main road to Kurota, and is some 12 miles to the south.west of Sir.i. Mngilkop is sitnated at abont the same disiance from Sirai as . Hangar but in an easterly direction. It is about four miles to the north-west of the market town of Banawasj. .
4. The following statement gives the are .. hitherto recorded 8S nnder occnpation, with the full assessment, the remissions, and the aotus.! eollections ~or r.he past twenty years. The al.llount collected bas beed remarkably steady during that penod :-

5. All the villages adjoin others of the same Mluka; which have b'een previonsly settled; There is accordingly but little doubt as to the rates suitable for each. I propose to divide.
·them into groups or classes as follows :- .
18t Gt-oup.-,Six villages traversed by the high road from Sirsi to Siddapur and. consequeutly rated a littlil higher thim those without that advantege : a maximum of R •• 4-12-0 for rice Gnd Re. 1-0-0 for dry-crop. .
2nd Groul"-Nine villages not quite so well situated with regard .0 com";unications ss. those' of the 1st group: a maximum of Rs. 4-8-0 for rice snd Re. 0-14-0 for
~ry-crop. . .
Gro"p,-Si .. villageH with.a more ea..t ly Hitudion and some inferiority of COmmo. nicationH and labour-supply, and also ~l1ving a Bcaotier pOpWatioD : s maximum of
s. 4-0-0 for rice and Re. 0-12·0 for d~l'-c\,()p,' .
135 •
6. For gardeij land the' usual rate of R •• 14 is proposed throughout. The gardens in this pari of Kan..... are well known to bs exoellent and mOB!; productive, and there is 110
reason why they should no!; bear the same ra~ as those of adjoining villages.
7. The total area of the 21 villages now reported on is 12,641 BOreS, or very nearly: 2d square miles. The populatio!, is retarued at a total of 1,912, which gives an average of 95 to the square mile. Of the whole area but 2,113 acre. are arable, the remaining 10,528 acrea being chiefly forest. -
8. The areas and average rate of assessment on e_ach .description of ~nd, occupied or waste, by the proposed rates are showtl,below ;-

The result is .. very moderate increase, .... , from R •. 9,345 to Rs. 9,686, which i. equaI to only 3'6 per cent. The inoidenee of the proposed assessment on individual villages is shown in coluDln. 2a of the statement which accompanies this report. 'l:here are as usual great inequaliti... While some viIl..""",s, chieRy_ those in the lot Class, show B decrease of revenue under the· new rat •• , others, though rated' lower, exhibit inc""",es whioh go as high as (in one ca,e) 20c. per cent. While noticing this stat£ment I .~uld mention that in the case of Village No. 17 (Davioara) u.. amount of past collection on cultivated land (Rs. 1~808) includes the collection. of Shelur also. Devisara is a Majreh or ha~et· of. Shelur and has no separate ~ccounts. It.
136 . . bas been measured lind classed by the survey as "separate vil1~, whereas Shelnr; not having been yet classed, does not come under proposa!" for se~lement this year. The information for
• Devisll.ra, therefore, as regards past revenue, IS ~ot stnctly aoourate.

Bombay, 25th May 1885. SIR,
The papers which I have the honour to forward with this letter refer to the proposed survey settlement of 21 villages of the Sirsi T6.luka of the Kanara District. •
. 2. The proposala have been received too late in the seaSon ror steps to be taken to introdnce the rates during the current year. It would have been impossible to have obtained your opinion npon them as well as the final decision of Government in time to permit of the Akarbands and settlement paper. being drawn up and arrangements made to announce the result to the cultivators. It will be understood, therefore, that I have no intention of embarrassing you .further by asking for a hurried decision on these proposals. .

snbject, the Superintendent s report might have been made more interesting by .. fuller description of' the villages. their populatien, . present condition and futnre prospects. Weare left to ascertain b'om a figured statement that the total area of the villages is .
Total ... 2,113 l2,6U acres, out of which ouly· 2,113 acres or 16'7 per cent. i. - culturable, the rest heing forest. The population (1,912) is

Tota) ••. 1.626 Kanara are scarce. lint with the opening out of roads they are becoming more numeroUB.
6. ,The dry-crop cultivation in these village. is insignificant, the chief profit being derived from rico and garde3 land. The latter i. of a very superior description, the town of Sirsl being the eent'e of a tract in which the ganl_ "re exceptionally well tepded and productive. They are for the m08t part .ituated in cool vaUeys bet went hills where the soil i. usnally retentive of moisture and .. rtific;"l irrigation i. unnece .... ry. The cultivation i. consequently cheap. A very careful experiment in one of the.e garden. taken I~ year by Mr. Todd, Assistant Collector, quoted on page 34 on the D4'ector of Agriculture'. report on crop experimente for 1883-84, .hows what handsome profittr Bre reaped from this cultivation. It would not he fair to find any general criticism' of the standard of the garden ae.es.ment we have adopted on the result< of a single experimeut, as the pric •• of garden produce are liable to great fluctuation. and the labour market in Kanara is in.ufficiently .upplied, entailing much expense on the garden holders, bnt the result. of Mr. Todd'. experiment ...tismetorily show that the Government assessment is in the case of good and careful oultivation a very small charge on the grOB. produce of the land.
6. Th. grouping of the villa .. es aud the maximum rate. reoommended by Ml'jor Ward are ~reed to by the Collector, and m,'y he .anctioned_ The rates are founded on those applied to neIghbouring village.. The dilIerentiation of the rates is not due to climate, which is equa.l throughout this part of the district, but to acce.sibility to market. In a country. which is cbiefly fO"est and often cut up by ravine. aud water-courses, a made-road rnnoing through .. village
- gives it a distinct advantage in opportllnities for dispo.al of gr .... and other produce. The first group for wbich a muimum ~ice rate of Rs _ 4-12-0 and a dry-crop rate of Re. 1 are proposed consists of villages situated on the high road from 8irai to Siddapur, the vill..., .... of the second group lie near the road but are not intersected by it, and for this group R .. 4-B-0 and Re. O-14-0,:re8pectively, are proposed, while for the third group which inoludes villages also removed from a made-road and situated more to the east, the rice and dry-crop rates will be Rs. 4 and Re. O-U-O, respectivdly. The manmum rate. for gardens is througho~t tha~ samO) .iz. R .. 14.. •
7. Th. result of the imposition of th ... rates i." sm .. ll incr .... e in the revenue ~hich, as will be se.n from the ststement in Major W .. rd's 4th paragraph, has been very steadfast for' the last twenty years. There will b. an inorease of R •. 341 only or 3'6 per cent. It will be observed that the villa.ges mor" r.mot. from Si .. i iu which encl'oa.chments coul.d pass more easily undetected under the old arrangement are those which have the large.t inorease, while in tho .. near to and accessible from 8irsi the Government demand will be mOl'e or less decreased.

3. The total area of the ~Iages now proposed to .be settled. is 12,641 acres; of .this ~,n3 acres are culturable the rest bemg forest. The occup,ed area ,B 1,626 acres, whICh gIves a' little more tban 30 gunthlls per head of population (1,912), but it is to be remembered that most of the occupied land is devoted to superior cultivation (ric,e 831 and garden 540).
4 The Superintendeut's report does not give information as to tbe condition of the agriculturi.te or the nature of the husbandry pursued by them, bot it is presumed that in both these respects tbe villages in question resemble the surrounding villages previonsly settled.

Ink" of the XaDara Collectorst ..
RESOLUTloN.-The 21 village. for which ;urvey rates are now proposed adjoin villages into which a settlement has already been introduced. It has been found necesoary to settle this part of the district in a fragmentary manner, as the establishment. cannot owing to the malarious climate commence work with advantage until the dry season is well advanced. The standard assessment of the villages to which the proposals relate must correspond with that,already sanctioned for adjoining villages in which the conditions are similar, and the maximum rates may. therefore be held to have been already virtnally settled. .
2. Two of the villages lIl'e isolated and at a considerable distance from 1liiy of the others, which al.o do not form a very compowt bleck. But the climate is very uniform throughout the Sirsi Tlllnka, IIIId accessibility to the market town of Sirsi is the only good ground for .tinction in the determinaticn of the maximum rates. Accordingly it is recommended that 6 villages actually traversed by the Sirsi-Siddapur road form the first group with a maximum rice rate of Rs. 4-12-0 and a maximum dry-crop rate of Re. 1, that 8 villag~ at a little distance from that road and an isolated village which is touched by the le.s important road from Nilkund to Sirsi form a second group with a maximum rice rate of Re. 4-8-0 and a maximum dty-,crop rate of Re. O-H-O, and that the remaining village. which are not SO conTeDiently situated in respect of. communications form a third group with a maximum rice rate of Rs. 4 and a maximum dry-crop rate, of Re. 0-12-0. .It is proposed to apply the usual maximum rate of Re. 14 to the garden land in all the villages.
3. Aa is uaual in Kanara, the result of the prorosEd survey rates i. but a slight increase Dr a decrease of the assessment in villages easily accessible from the Mllmlatdllr:s head.quarters,

but a large enhancement in outlying villages, in which, so long as supervision was In, en· croachments on Government land oould readily be made owing to the abaenoe of any detailed reoord of the occupied area. In four villages only are the increase. large, being respeetively 200 per cent., 189·2 per cent., 102·5 rr ,cent., and 69·4 per cent. The rule contained in Government Resolution No. M73, date 21st October 1874, that when the increase of assessment on any holding amounts to or exceeds 30 per oent., there .hall be levied in the first year 50 per cont., in lhe second year 75 per cent., and in the third and following years the whole of the increase will modify any hardship which might arise from sudden enhancement in these villages. On the whole the effect of the rates proposed will be an inorease of S·G per Qent., only.
4. The proposals of the Superintendent, Revenue SuMey, which are supported by the Collector, the Survey and Settlement Commissioner and the Commissioner, S. D., are sanctioned. The rates cannot be· introduced nntil the ensuing year, and will, therefore, not be levied until 1886-87. They may be gna;rauteed, ... recommended, until 1898-99, 00 that the period of the settlement may expire coucurrently with that of other villages of the Mluka.

I have the honour to submit proposals for the SUMO)' settlement of 28 villages of the Sirsi TlIluh of the Kanona District.
2. The villages do not forma very compact group. They lie in separate small clusters,-8Ome to the south of Sini, along the Sirsi-Siddllpur road: others are intersected by the road to the Nilkund GUt and thence to Honllvar: the remainder are on or near to the main road leadi~g .from Sirsi to Kumta. All.the villages are within an easy day's journey of the town of Sir ...
8. The subjoined Itatement gives the area hitherto recorded as under occupation, with the full a.sessment, the remissions, and the net collectione for the past 20 years. The fluctuations in the revenue duriog that period have been quite unimportant. The statement refers to 18 .magee only the remaining 10 being hamlets of villageo not for present settlement, and for which there are no separate accounts. The appendiz attached to this report distinguisbes between the villages whose revenue accounts are available and the hamlets for which separate information is not forthooming :-

4. The rates which have been applied to villages of this tdluka already settled. and focilities as regards communication with markets, are the two principal factors in determining suitable rates m tbe present settlement. The clinlate is alike throughout, " certain and heavy 'rainfall being eminently suited to the oultivation of rioe and sngarcane; while the moist forest tract in which all the villages Jie contains all the requirements for the produetion of the best garden produce on a large scale.
S. I propose to divide the villages under report into two claases, and rate them as shown below:-. .
1st Group.-Fifteen villages situated 1 or close to ~ue or other of the made roads leading to Sirsi: a maximum of Rs. 4·8·0 for rice and Re. O·lf-o for dry-crop. .
2nd Group,-Thirteen villages lIOlllewhat less ~vantageously situated than those of the first group: a· maximum of Rs. 4·0-0 for rice and Re. 0-12-0 for dry-crop.
6. For garden lands a maximum of Rs. 14 is proposed throughout. The gardens in this district are exceedingly good and productive, many of them bearing from 1,000 to 1,200 flll.l~ grown betel1/lut trees to the acre, besides being planted with cardamoms and other valuable spices. The assessment of each garden holding throughout the 28 villages has been fixed by· myself. ~er a careful consideration of all the information regarding soil, water-supply, planting, &c., recorded by the claasing establishment ..
'1. The total area of the villages under report i. 24,990 acres, or 39 square miles. The popUlation is returned at a total of 2,808 which shews an average of 72 to the square mile. Of the whole area, the arable acres amount to 8,167, the remaining 21,828 being unculturable, chiefly forest. The population to the square mile of oulturable area is thus 061, which is much the same figure as we nsually find.in Kanara above Ghfits. The incidence of cultivated area, pel head of the population is close upon 1 acre and 2 gunth4s.· .
8. The area of each description of land, occupied or waste, is tabulated below, with the average rate of, assessment aocording to the proposed rates:- .

par cent. In only two individual village. doe. the enhancement amount to an approach to 100 per cent. These are Kambigar and llarasguni, iu both of which the new assessment on the garden land alone exceeds the whole amount of the revenue hitherto collected. As above remarked, the account. for the remaining 10 village. are incomplete, and no comparison CIln be made between their past and estimated ''evenue.
11. The amount of wlI8te -land i. inconsiderable, except perhapa in the case of two or three villages. The whole area of available dry-crop will parhaps not b. occupii!<l in the
• immediate future: it is not mnch sought after, at however Iowa rate the I18sesoment may be fixed J and the cropS' rai.ed thereon are of DO great value at the best. The unoccupied rice land may, however, be expected to be taken up under the very mederate rates at which it is obtain· able. (See columns 1 Sand 14 of the Appendix.) The waste gatdeD Io.nd is insignificant in extent, and is rated at a very low figure.
12. The villages uuder report resemble in every respect those'of the ... me t8.1nka which have already come under a survey settlement. The statistics of 21 villages reported on last year, and of the 28 which form the subject of the present proposaJs, are contrasted below :-

The principal diffe.rence in the. general condition of the two .groups is in the larger proportion of forest in the villages of this year's report. The same VIllages possess an advantage over those of last year in the number of ploughs and cattle available for working the land. Cart. are very few in number in spite of tbe excellent roads which traverse so many of the villages. It appears probable that the people find it more economical to hire wheeled conveyance when they requh'e it than to invest their wealth in purchase.

15. The map, which' accompanies this report, shows the proposed grouping in different colours. ViIlages of the ht class a1'e coloured blue, and those of the 2nd class pink.

From Tn COLLECTOR 0"1 KA'NARA;
To Tn SURVEY AND SETTLEMENT COMMISSIONER .
.. Camp Nilku,nil., 18th Fe6ruary 1886 • . '
I have the honor to forward, herewith, a report containing proposals for the settlement of 28 villages of the Sirsi Taluka submitted by Lieuteoant-Colonel T. M. Ward, Superintendent, Revenue Survey, Southern Maratha Conntry.
2. The result of the measurement and classification of the 18 old entire villages and the 10 hamlets of certain SEttled and unsettled village. ·propoSEd to be constituted intQ separate villages shows a total area of 2,93i acres on account of occupied lands ,vith a survey ........ sment of Rs. 14.321. The unoccupied assessed waste aggregates 230 acres with a proposed ....... ment of Rs. 331. A comparison of the figures for the 18 villages for whic~ there are old measurement account. gives on the whole an iDcrease on ""oonnt of both OCOUliled anJ unoccupied lands of 962 acres and ..... ssment Re. 2,350 in favour of the proposed eettlement.
3. I am of opinion that the ratee proposed for rice and dry-crop are mmerate. The garden cnItivation is superior in these part., and the maximum .... te proposed ~ the. same as ~n previons settlements. The viIlages proposed for settlement are, moreover, fauly 8ltuated In respect to means of commnnication, for the transport of produce, and I have no hesitation in recommending the proposals as a whole for the san.ction of Government.
4. The concessions sanctioned in Government Resolntion No. 5573 of 1874 will be· applied as usual, aud the nece5sary declaration about the reservatiou of trees will be made at the time of effecting the settlement. •
. 5. I beg that ·the 5th of July 1886 may be fixed as the date within :which the relinquish-ments of land may be Dlade under Section 74 of tire L,."d Revenue Code. . .

Tn COMMISSIONER, S. D.
SIR,
Su,rey C __ i"iotur. O{flte,
POO1la, 21.e Febrvary.1886.
I have the honor to ~ubmit a report: ~o. 78 of 30th nltimo, containing proposals f~r the sutvey settlement of 28 Vlllages of the Sll"Sl TaJuka: .
2. The villages dealt with in this report lie within a radius of about 14 miles from the large market town of Sirsi, and are surrounded by, or adjacent to, ViUages the rates for which ha"e already been approved and sauctio~ed by Government. I re!V". t tbat it has been attempted to prepare the map, which &CClmpames the report, on too amah a scale; the consequenoo is that the limits of villages cannot be distinctly traced, and the entry of the names of a numher of petty hamlets in, ..... es the confusion. .Aa next year there will be a mrthersettlement of villages in this part of the taluka, I hope to prepare a clearer map from which we shall be abl. to judge with more confidence of the position of the villages and the suitahility of the classifi ..... tion. .
S. Colonel Ward i8 correct in observing that there is nothing to choose between th'; village. now. nnder consideration in tho matters of climate and rain-fall. The only valid cause for d~ff~rentiation of t~e rates i. the ~ility ?f co~muni~tion with markets, and a slight supertOrtty has been as81gned to those Vlllages unmediately sItuated on the road from Sirsi. to Siddapur vid Tyagla, Bnd to those on the roads to Kumta· lIid the Devimani Ghat, and to
14'7
HOn&var via the Nilkund GMt. The maximum rice rate. of Rs. 4-8-0 and Ril. 4-0-0 have been commonly used for ueighbouring villages of this M.luka having similar advantages, and the result of the imposition of those rates in the case of the two cl ....... into which the villages have been divided i. exceedingly moderate, the average ....... ment per acre being Rs. 3-0-2 and Re. 2-8-11 reopeotiveJy •. Theavsrage dry-crop rate. are equally moderate in both.
4. The garden lands in these viUageo, like all in the vicinity of Siroi, are exceedingly fine, being thickly planted with hetelnut trees, in the midst of which cardamoms and other valuable spices are raisel. They are u.ually situated in the cool valley. between the hills with natural moisture in the soil,' which i. sut6.cient to bring the produce to niaturity without the aid of any mean. of irrigation. The large profits"made from this kind of cultivation iu f'iroi may be judged from a reference to the returns of a careful crop experiment made by Mr. Todd, As.istant Collec-tor, in 1883-84, reported at pages 8~ to 91 of the Dlreotor of Agriculture'. report on the crop experiments of that year. The rates' for garden lands have boen graduated, a. hitherto, on a maxillJum rate per acre of Rs. H, taking into consideration all the advantages of soil al)d water-supply recorded by the cla,sers. The general excellenoe of the garden. ill these village. is .hown ~y the average .... ulting rate, which in both classes is in excess of Rs. 12-8.
5. In the survey operations of this part of the Kltnara CoIle~torate it has been nAce,sary, with a view to simplify the revenue administration, to make many old hamlets into new villages on accoUlit of their distance from the parent villages, and in consequenoe there is often much . confusion in comparing the revenues under the survey settlement with past colleotions. The difficulty is experienoed in this settlement, as hamlets belonging to villages either formerly settled or to be settled hereafter appear ... completely sepa~ate villages in -the list accompanying Colonel W .. rd's report. Thus the general percentage enhancement of revenue in the whole area nnder settlement cannot be ascertained, .. nd in the ease of 18 villages ouly can it he clearly shown. TIi" inore .... s produced in these vill .. g<!s ..... not greater than are usually fonnd in the
. Kan .. ra District when the snrvey rates .. re imposed npon a careful me ... urement and valuation. In the absence of the means of ascertaining the total incre ... e of the burden of the (lovernment demauds for each whole group, the only plan hy wbich we can satisfy oursel vas as to the .moderation of the rates is to compare the. average .... es.ments per acre of each description of oultivated land with those of groups included in former settlements. If this is done .it will be found tb .. t there is every reason to believe tb~t the present ... seS8m~nts are fair and equitable.
6. The villages inoluded in this settlement, althongh the cultivation is sparse and the forest area large, .. re well provided with agricultural. stock, there being one pair of oxen available for every 8 acre. of cultivated land_ . The same scarcity of cartAI which haa heen shown in nearly every K4nara settlement, is a prominent feature in these villages also. Colonel Ward suggest. that the people tind it more .oonomicd 00 hire wheeled conveyance thau to. purchase it. But, if the returns of t1iis tract are to be oredited, there can be exeeedingly few cart. which are available for hire.. The fact is, that the cart as a conveyance is not yet familiar to the people of Kanara. The traffio is nsually oarried on by bullock and bead-load, .. nd as the chief exports of Klna ... are of a 'Very costly description, a bullock-load or a head-load represente produce of considerable value. In all parts of the Presidency the accumulation of carts has Immediately followed the snrvey settlement; and I see no reason to douht that the resnlt will be the eame in the Kanara Diatriot, which is i"tersected hy many excellent roads.
7. If these proposals, which &1'8 fully approved of by the Coneotor of the district, are sanotioned by Government, I beg to recommend that the rates be introduoed during the current
. fair season for levy next year, aod that they be guaranteed for 13 :tears, from 1886-87 np to 1898-99, the date on which the rates sanctioned for the first settled vil1agee in the talun expire, according to the arrange:uent sanctioned by Government Resolution No. 61liO of 19th Octobet: 18S1. Tbe date for receiving resignations of land may be extended np to the l)th July next. .'
Submitted to Government.

L.tter from the S"rvey and Settlement Commissioner, No.IIB7, dated 2Jet Febtnary 1886.
Memorandum from the Commissioner, S. D., No 248, dated 29th February 18SS-Forwarding the papers noted in the margin, containing proposals for the survey settlement of twenty-eightvillage." of the Sirsi Taluka of the Kanara Collectorate.
REsoLUTloN.-The villages of the Sirsi Talnlra,which it is now proposed to bring under the snrvey settlement either adjoin or are near to other villages in which the, settlement is' in force and the snitability of the scale of rates recommended may therefore be said to have been already determined. A distinction i. drawn between the villages on or close to roads and those at some distance from the roads, a maximum rice rate of Rs. 4-8-0 per acre and dry-crop rate of Re. 0~14-0 being proposed for the former and a maximum rice rate of Re. 40 and dry-crop rate of Re. ,0-12-0 for the latter. The difference"i. nOt; very great, but it probably represents faIrly the comparative value of prori'Dity to roads, which at present is not very great. Mo,t of the rice and dry-crops grown in this part of the'district are consumed locally, the exports consisting principally of garden produce. '[he maximum rate recommended for garden land in all the villages is R •. 14 per acre, which is the fame as has .been adopted for other villages 'of the
,t:iluka. As the average assessment propo.ad for this clase of land is ov.r Rs. 12-8-0 per acre" ' it would appear that most of it is of very high qnlliity. 1t is observed that the average assessment of the garden land in the village of Gubigon is according to the figures in the statement appended to Lieut.-Colonel Ward'. report (12 acree asse.sed at Rs. 176) 10 annaa 8 Fes in excess of the maximnm rat~. 'l'he Sur'ey and Settlement Commissioner should" be requested to furnish an explanation on'this point.
2. All .ten of the villages are newly constituted, haVing been hitherto hamlets for which separate llCoonnts were not kept, the eflect of the rates proposed can be shown for eighten villages only. The enhancement in them will. amonnt to 21'S per cent., which is moderate. The Snperintendent, Revenue Survey, points out that in two villages in which the increases approximate to 100 per cent. the assessment of the garden land is In excess of the total revenDe .hitherto paid. This is also the case in most of the oLher village. in which the assessment recommended will re.nlt in a large enhancement. It is probable that the gardens in them have heen extended by clandestinely bringing under cnltivation land-before nnoccupied -for which no asses.ment has hitherto been paid, 'bnt the rate of assessment of that class of land is also sufliciently high tJ give a considerable increment of revenue. There can be no doubt about the very large profits from garden cultivation in this part of the district.
3. The proposals of the Survey and Settlement Commissioner, inclnding those regarding the term of guarantee and the extension of the time for 'the reCeipt of notices of relinquishment in the current year, are sanc:ioned.

• 3. I may mention bel'e that, with the settlement of the Tillages under report, the Sirsi Tlliub will have been bronght almost entirely uuder survey rates, and only 26. villages, now undergoing classification, will remain to be dealt with •
. '.. The 46 villages now in question all lie between the town of Sirsi and the Ghats to PooitlOo. • the west of it; and though' they do' not forD;l. one compact
grouP. are not separs.ted from one another by any great interval. They comprise a tract of uudulating forest c60ntry 128 square miles in extent, in the
P"d I oh Whole of which the scattered patches ()f cultivable land only "J 0A.-.....tar. amount to 7,298 acres, Or a proportion of 9 per cent. 'The
population; which is returned at 5,159 sools, gives an average dansit,. of 40 to the sqnare mile; the cultivated land is in the proportion of acres 14 to
pop.lor each head of population, and there are 6 acres of cnltivation , .on.. to every pair of working' cattle. These proportious are very
evenly maintained throughout the whole tract; and it will appear, therefore, that though, as is usual, thJ:oughout the above GMt country of Kanam, the population is very sparse on the whole, it is not so compared with tbe area at its command, nor is it badly equipped with the means ,?f cultivation.
" I ,
,5. Sixty-tt1ree per cent. of the cultivated area is devoted to rice, :n per, cent. to 'dry-Oro ...' crops or grass, .. nd 16 per cent. i. garden. The crops raised
• • po, .. are those usual in this, p .... t of Kanara, but the' gardens are 'perhaps better here tban in any part yet surveyed. They are very thickly plauted with
supari palms .. nd cocoanut, and yield, ,besides, cardamom, black pepper and other valuable products: iii very many of them the uatural moisture of the soil. protected from sun and wind by the forest in which they lie hidden, makes irrigation a superfluone labour. . . . . ,
6. Cart traflj.o ;,; only possible on the made road. which conneot Sirsi and the neigh-C uDl' bouring, market of Hulakal with tlie coast on the one hand
omm ""'IOn..' and the p1ai\ls on the other; The Kumta road, descending by the Dewanmani GUt,oarries a very heavy through traffic, .. nd is kept in excellent order; ~ut the other route by whibh carts oould reach the ooast, ..... , the W'di GMt road, is now Impassable for them at the main descent, and is of little use, eJ:cept for J\8ck-bnnocks; though near Dewauhali, where a oross road opens communication with the Kumta main road, there are still a fe" miles useful fot carts. This part of the district is fairly well known to me, as the 8urvey of it was in prol(ress under my pwn cbarge; and as it is becoming oomparatively common now in Kllnara--so Mr. W ipgate informs me-for the farmers to improye lOud keep up,cart-traoks by which'they may gain access to the main Jines
, of communication, it seems unfortunate that routes once open shoold be allowed to fallout of repair. Produce is purohased, on the spot where it grows. by itinerant merchants, who go from village to viUage with strings of bollonks, and sometimes despatch it direct by thi. means. IIi4 the Wadi or Mushi GMts, to the ocast rather than collect it at Hulakal or Sirsi. where alone carts can be eD~. There are a few carts, it will be seen from the Appendix, iu the villages under ,..,port; but the numerous carte which throng the made-roads of Kanara are employad almost exr.lasively OQ' the thron«h traffio froID the plaiQ country, to which their owners mostly belong.

The colleotions shbwn m thIS statement aglWlSt 1885-86 do no~ tally' WIth the tota}· of column 17 in the Appendix, for a Teason which bas constantly to be eXPlained in K!nara settle- . ments viz. that the ·.old accounts of several villages, not even adjoining' each other, are frequ~ntly'kept in the lump, and no means exists of separating them. In the present c .... ;
. . d' 'c I '17 the old accounts of the village of Mathadevnl, settled in 1882, • r.ck Appon IX, 0 UlDD. included partially or entirely the acoount ... of 4* of the villages
now fo~ settlement; the old revenue of Mathadeval has been inelo ded, therefore, in this statement although Mathadeval itself has nlready been disposed of. The retur'll, however, serves th~ purpose of demonstrating the ease and regularity with which the .old revenue has beenoollected during the last twenty years. .
8. It is prop"sed to divide the villages under report into 4 groups on precisely the d rate '. same· principle as has been followed in former settlements.
Propose... The map shows the rates already introduced into adjoining v.illages of this and of the Ankola Taluka,' lind the oorrespondence betwee!l these and the rates now proposed can, therefore, be !loted at a glance. .

12. The contrast here apparent, however, is not exact, for the reasons given in paragraph 7 above. But eliminating the 4 villages, for which the old accounts cannot ba ascertained, a comparison for ,42 * TIllages'will show an increase of 36'7 per cent., or Rs. 6,048 in favonr of the proposed rates.
13. The resUlt of the prol'osed survey rates varies very much in different villages, as • will appear from column 29 of the ,Appendix'; bnt it happens that no villages furnish such
'extreme instances of increllBe or decrease as are often met with in settlementa in this Colleetorata. I ~ye below the average rates f..mng on each description of soil in two cases, one of which 18 the village most decreased and the other a cluste, of villages together most increased by the proposed rates :- ' , •

THE SURVEY ANn SETTLEMENT COMMISSIONER.
Oamp Bonavar, 23"d March 1887.
Sm,
I bave the honour to forward herewith a report from tbe Superinter,dent, Revenne Survey, Soutbern Mal'I1tha Country, No. 292, dated tbe 12th instant, containing his proposals for the introduction of the survey rates in 46 villages of the Sirsi 'faluka. It appears that there are only 26 villages yet unfinished to complete the assessment of the t,Uuka.
2. The grouping of the villages appears to have heen carefuUy done, and is based upon the principles of previous settlements of the taluka.-proximity to commereial centres, anq the means of communication to reach them for tbe disposal of the surpl"" produce, being the standard for classifying'villages. Villages under groups I and II have fair means of com. munication. The Wadi GMt road traverses group No. III, but the ghat portion has never been suitable for cart traffic. Tbe road is in a io.ir condition for pack·bullocks, which are mostly nsed.
From below the ghat the road is better as far as its junctions with tbe Hubli·Karwar road and the Ankola-Kumta road.
The rates proposed for each group are moderate, and fit in with those prevailing in the . neighbouring settled villages.
The results of the proposed settlement may be snmmarized as shown below. In reviewing, the results, I have, of conrse, omitted the estimated assessment on nnoccupied lands; as tbe old assessment of these lands is neither ascertainable nor sbown in the report of the Superintendent:~

It will be observed, from th. above, that the increase is kivial ill greup I, more in greup III, still more in group' II, and most in group IV. In individual vill~s tae percentage of in. crease ranges from- .
33 to 39 in Group I. 2 to 83 in " II,
, 6 to 81 in " III. 46 to 87 in " IV.
Th. Supelintendent has not exp1ain~d' the causes, of these abnormal resnlts l bnt I infer that they are the unevenness of the old assessment in individual villages and aggrandizement of tbe holdings by encroachment on the p'!rl of the vargdar, a matter which bas been frequently noticed in previous Bettlements. 1'0 minimise the effects of the ~ancements, I would suggest that the concessions under Government Resolution No. 5li73 of 21st October 1874 be made to distribute the increased assessment over a period of S years ..
By the time the settlement is introduced, iths of the revenue will have been collected according to the accounts of the annual jamabandi. As proposed in my letter No. 980, dated the 8th instant, with regard to the 55 villages of the Honavar TaIuka, the survey settlement may either be given efleet to from the beginning of the ensuing revenue year, or the time for tendering resignations during the current year be extended to the Dth J nly next, under Section 74 of the Bombay Land Revenue Code. •

'orwarded to Government through the Comupssioner, S •. D.
2. The reason for the scattered settlements, which circumstances have necessitated- in this and other t.u~kas of KMt~a, has been. fr'!'lnently point:ed out in former reports. This is the ninth batch of villages belougmg to the S11'S1 T.uuka which has come on for Qettlement, and it is a matter for oongratolation that (loly one batoh of 26 villages- remains over for settlement next year, when the whole of this large and important aoh-division wiU have been success-folly dealt with. • • • - .
S. The materials for this report have been fomished hy Mr. Wingate, the Assistant Settlement Officer, whose experience of KlInara ha. lasted over many years, and to whose cautious and skilful conduct of the classification the succees of recent settlements is much due. The facts hao-e been carefully compiled by Mr. Fletcher, the Superintendent, and the results have been accepted after criticiam by the CoUeater.

The grouping of the villages and ~he rates applicable to each group for dr:v-crop and rice lands. are arranged according to the plan of settlement which has be"" evolved from long experience, and which has hitherto met with success in dealing with similar villages in the locality. The'same rate, lIS that applied to SirIl!. gardens generally, has been applied to th_ villages also, the gatdsns in this part being of exceptional excellence, yielding such valuable produce as betelnut, cocoanuts, cardantoms, panvel, and pepper. - . _
5. 'Mr. Blathwayt b&S notioed the difl:erent financial rasnlts which wiII attend the intrQduction of the new rates into the varioUs groups of villages. It would seem, at first sight, abnormal thet Tates, believed to be equal in their incidence in all villages, should produce larger enhancements in the more remote a.nd isolated villages than in -those which enjoy proximity to markets and ma.de roa.ds. But this reeult has been shown to be attenda.nt 01\ Kan&m settlement generally, and has been notioed in nearly all recent settlement reportIB. Mr. Blathwayt has gauged oorrectly the reason for the apparent ·anomaly. It is because in the remote and isol~ted villagee the inspection of the Mluka authorities was a mere faroe, owing to difficulties of tr .... veiling and<lodging, and eJli)roaohments were allowed to proesed almost unrestricted; whereas in villages near the boh",i town, or a good roa.d,<or a favourite village for lodging, encroaohments were rea.dily detected, and at once subjected to payment of revenue.
6. With these few remarks I approve of the present proposals, and recommend their a.doption by Government. They should be introduoed in the current year, and guaranteed up to 1898-99, in which year the settlements of the Sirsi Taluka generally are arranged to expire. I have alrea.dy stated, in my report on 55 villages of the HOn&var Taluka forwarded with this offioe No. 454, dated 28rd instant, the reasons why I consider the system of introducing the rates in the ourrent year, and levying them in full in the succeeding year. ahoold be retained. I therefore recommend that the date of receiving applications for resignation of land during the current year should. be extended to the 5th July next, under Section H of the Bombay Land Revenue Code. __
7. The conoessions allowed dnd .. Government Resolution ~o. 5573 of 21st October 1874, which are of general applioation in Kana"" will, of course, hG extended to these villages also. Thsy provide for the gra.dual levy of the full assessment in the case of holdinge on which the rates bring ahout large eu1taooemente. Although, as pointed out by Mr. Fletcher in paragraph 7 of his report, there is a diffioolty in ascertaining aocnrately the peroentage of enhancement on the whole number of villages brought nnder settlement, it is cIear that in some villages there must be cases of large enhanoement of individual assessments, the suddenness of which it is desirable as far as possible to moderate.

ltl!SOLUTiON.-These papers contain proposals for the survey settlement of 46 villages in the Sirsi To!.luka of the Kan..ra District, and on the introductiou of the settlement into this the ninth batch of villages there will remain but ,?o6 villages to be dealt with, in order to complete the revenue settlement of the taluka next season. . .
2. The circumstances of the Tillages now under <lOJlSideration, which comprise all. undulat.ing forest-clad tract of conntry between the town of Sirsi and the ghats, are similar ~ those of aajoining villages already dealt with; and the experience gained in settling the latter leaves no room for doubt as to the correctness of the principles of grouping hitherto followed and the snitability of the st .. ndard of rates adopted. The rates now proposed fit in with those a.Iready applied to neighbouring vil ••

But, leaving these 5 villages out of consideration, it appears that for land DOW under cnltivation, for which alone a comparison ean

3. The (26) villages in qnestion are very mneh scattered over the entire Mlnka, owing . . I presume to the circnmstance that the very existence of those'
POlltiO.. most isolated was probably not known, until the complete fitting in of that puzzle-a Kllna!'a Taluka map. 1<otwithstanding eighteen villages out of the total twenty·six lie 'within 8 mdius of. (8) or (9) miles of the market town of Sirsi. Of these, two-Byagadi and Hohoyl-occupy a position to its east, while the others all Jie to the west, and are for the most part contignous oue with the other. Of the remaining eight villages, oneSankadgundi-is situated on the made·road to Yellj\pnr, and is about equi.distant D.·om that ",arket and Sirsi, while the other seven form .. oompact group occuwing the crest of the ghat in the north·west corner of the Mluka. Some of the hamlets belongmg to these have their site on the westeI'D slope of the gMt, and in some instances the oultivated land. run. down below, and have much in common with what might be termed the Konkan of Kanar", $Uch as hot weather rice crop., not often found ahove gh4t.. •
4. With the IlI:coption of the' cultivated valleys, all the rest of tile country may be termed
Ph i --' h tor are "0 forest, varying D.·om the flat and undulating in the east, to that Y' - 0 orac • " ~ • • f d d "t d '. t' th h o a very rngge an preClpl ous escrlp Ion e nearer t e
wMern ghats are 8ppJ;Osched. The entiI'e area oomprises about 1'>0 square miles, out of whieh 3',435 acres only are arable, ~r a little mote than 10 per cent.
The survey censUB re~ms show a population of 3,01)9 sonls. giving a density of about 6l P lati to the lquare mile. The proportion 'of cultivable land to the
opu on. population is 1 acre 5 guntMs per head, while there is a paiT of oxen avpil.hle for every 4'6 acre. of' cultivation excluding the garden area. In theEe respeet. the villages under consideration closely resemble those reporttd upon last Eeason by the Superintendent, Poona and NIlsik and Sonthern Maratha Country Revenue Surveys, who say.: .. the population is very sparse on the whole but not so compared with the' area at its command, nor is it badly equipped with the ,means of cultivation." ,
Crops. • . 5. The percentage of the different kindS of cultivation i. shown in the'subjoined table:-
Dry-crop and gran. Rice.
49 29
The dry.crops raised in this moist tract are of !,ittle account, only small hill grains (ragi, &c.), being grown in patches bere anu there. ~'he lande termed d!y-crop are "early all kept-under grtUs, which is largely used for manuring purpOses. '
.The rioe lands generally return' a good yield, artificial manure Jieing largely supplemented by the wash from the surrounding hill.. Sugarcane, in rotation, takes the place of rice in favourable situation., but in many places the' moisture is excessive, which does not favour a good growth, tho plnnts being lia\>le to rot in the rains. Vegetables of different kinds thrive profuse· Iy in the hot weather, and are more generally cultivated than the usual· 2nd green crop after the rice harvest.
.160
. The gardens pro.duce oocoanu~, supaN, plantains, carda~oms, pRnvel, black pepper, pine-apples, limes and'ya.nous other fruIts, and rank.second to none In Kanara. .
6. The appended statistical statement gives a retnrn of only 35 carts as appertaining to . . these villages, but traffic by w~eeled conveyance is much
CommumcotIOD'. 'more general than is supposed; merchants living in the large towns who have direct dealings with the people, supplying the necessary carriage; even the villages situated in ~he region of the gMts have cart tracks running with~ .. distance.of 3 or 4 miles, and the Havik Brahmans of late years have Jlhown much enterpnse, and conSIderable engineering skill, in ·fonning roads of their own, giving access to the high-way from their villages. These private roads in most instances can be traversed by carts in the fine weather. and even in the most inaccessible hamlets of the above gMt tBluka., the people are beooming less dependent for the disposal of surplus pro~llce on the casual visits of itinerant dealers with pack bullocks. The road from the market town of Hulekal to Muski bifurcates at GuranvaJi l this branch running along the ridge of the ghat as far as Songemani (vide reap) tap" the more remote villages in th~ north-west co~er of the.ta.luka, while all the others come within fairly easy" range of. the varlO!lS roads leading from SIrsl to the ooast. Carts can only traverse the Muski GMt·rosd, as far as the top of the gMt, and the Vtidi GMt road to a dietance of U; miles from SirSi. It is a pity that the latter should have boon allowed to fall out of repair: it opened up a considerable tract of country, and till within the last few years was capable of carrying cart traffic through to the coast. • .
7. The revenue history of these (26) villa.ges for the past 20 years as supplied by the . Mamlatdar is subjoined. The area shown cannot be relied on,
Revenue hiltory. but t»e collections are very constant in amount, any variation being explained by the fact tbat bamlets belonging to vilillges now coming under settlement were .ettled as far back·as 1881-82, and otbers similarly in the following years up·to tbe present time, the collections in t.j>ese formerly eettled being deducted from the total revenue of the villa.ge. Roughly speaking, there is a sum of abont Rs. 1,500 'which does not appertain to the present area (i.e.), if this Rs. 1,500 were added to.the net collection of 1886-87, it would run it up to about the avera.ge. This all goes to show that the full oollection. have been easily and regularly made. The collections shown in the statement for the year 1886-87 do not tally with appendix colnmn 17 from impossibility of separating tbe account. of villages which have not been settled in the lump in the same year as explained above:- .

12. The result for the 15 complete villages gives an increase of Rs. 8,190, equal to an ~enbancement in favour of Government of 88'7 per cent. The incid.nce of the proposed .. sessment on each villaae i. shown in column 29 of the appendix. The increase of 142'6 per .cent. in the case of Bilg;lmani and of 374'1 per cent. in the case of Sankadgundi may appear .• tartling, but in th~ former (if any reliance can be placed ?n :he area of th~ measurement ~ estates carried out In these parts under the orders of the pnnclpal Collector In 1832), there IS an increase in the garden area of 75 per cent. and also a slight incr .... e in rice. Likewise in Sankadgundi there i. an increase in the garden area of 67 per cent. and in the .rice area of 36 per cent. According to the Mamla.tdar's account, the lands of this village were for long 'held by a Shanbhog of the district, who proba.bly submitted his own account. in a way very favourable to himself; but be this as it may, the fact of the village remaining so long unnoticed by the Survey in its isolated position, points to collusion and concealment, with the object of retain. ing the land at the present favourahle rates as long as possible. In both cases the arahle area is insignificant.
Other large differences between the original and proposed ••• essment noticeable in colnmn 29 must also be considered the re.ult of concealment, encroachment and fal.ification of account_ practices which have been so often alluded to ae being co~on, in many preceding Ksnara Settlement Reports.
13. An example. i. given below of the average rates of proposed assessment falling on each description of soil in three villages under 'report- (1) where there is a large increase, (2) where there is not much variance, and (3) where theteis a decrease.

SIll,
8"rvey S"perint,na"lli!. Office, Camp Da/tapur, 13th February 1888.
I have the honour to forward, for the consideration of Government, a report by Mr. R. T. Wingate, Assistant Settlement Officer, Rewnue Survey, Kanara., proposing rate. Df assessme!!t for the 26 villages of the Sirsi Taluk .. which remain to be brought nnder survey settlement:
2. 'I have nothing to add to the report submitted which contain. all the information usually furnished, and which examination' prove. to have been most carefully compiled, while Mr. Wingate's long and intimate acquaintance with the country and people of Kanara is a guarantee for the value. of ~he cumments he offers.
3. The rates proposed for the various villages may be considered to have been already practically fixed by those which have received the sanction of Government in adjoining villages, and the present settlement may be regarded as the last stone in the edifice of the survey settle-ment of the Sirsi 'falakl>. .
'4. It may be as well, perhaps, to add r. few words in amplification of Mr. R. T. Wingate's 7th paragraph, whioh is somewhat too condensed to be at once clearly understood. .
There are 11 villages among the 2(1 now under report the p ... t realisations fOf which can-. M R not be separately ascertained, owing to the old accounts being
w!,;:~~e P!:~h1. r. . T. mixed up wi~h ~hose of othe." villsges ~hich bave all'ea.dy been settled. 'l'hls difficulty, WhlOh recurs m almost every Kaoara
settlement, and has frequently been explained in former reports; has been provided for as far as was possible in the figures.now furnished to Ulustrate the revenue history of the traot under report, but Mr. ·Wingate explains that these figare. cannot be taken ... accurate, and tbat the apparent falling off in revenue after the year 1880-81 is due to the fact that certain villages or parts of villages until then inoluded in the total have been settled at difierent times since that year, their old collections therefore disappearing from the accounts of recent years. As a whole the revenue history table sufficiently indicates the regularity with which the revenus has been collected, bnt cannot tally with the figures giv~ iu column 17 of the appendix to the report.
6: I trust you may find it possible to forward' these proposals with your comments without much delay, in order that there may be no difficulty in ohtaining the orders of Government before the end of April.

Bontf.fDM, 93th February 1888.
SIB,
I have the honour to forwm'd herewith Mr. Fletcher'. letter No. 242, dated 13th instant, together with a report by Mr. R. T. Wingate, Assistant Settlement Officer, Revenue Survey, Kanal'a, proposing rates of assessment for the 26 villages of the Sirsi Taluk... With the introduction of settlement into this groll.p the whole of the Sirsi Taluka will haTe been brought under sarvey lates. "
These 26 villages are vory much scattered over the entire Mluh as i. apparent from the lIccompanying map. This has been explained in paragraph 3 of'Mr. Wingate', report. .
•
165
The grouping of the villagO! appears to have beeu done carefully. The rates propesed are just and fair and are based upeu tbe principles of previous settlements already sanctioned in the ourrounding villsges &s detailed in paragraphs 8 anJ 9 of Mr. Wingate's report.
The general results show an increase under both area and assessment. The result for the 15 complete villages as .hoWD in the table subjoined to paragraph 11 of Mr. Wingate's report gives an increase of Rs. 3,190, which is equal to an enhancemeut of 38'7 per cent. The resnlts for the rest of the villages cannot be contra.ted as no accurate data of past collections are ava.ilable.
It may be remarked tbat larget ~ifferences between the old and proposed .sses.menli! noticeable in column 29 of the appendIx are due mainly to encroachments discovered hy tbe survey and falsifications of accounts which have been so often commented upon in the preceding Kanara Settlement Ropor ts. .
I wonld suggest that the concessions allowed by Government Resolution No. 6573 of 21st October 187" may he granted in the case of these 26 villages as beretofore in order to distribute the increaeed survey assessment over a space of three years. The date f!,r relinquishing lands under Section 74 of the Land Revenue Code be extended to 5th July.
No. 512 OP 1888.
I have, &0.,
C. G. BLATHWAYT, Collector, Kli.nara.
M"Mhle8AwIJr, 14tk Marck 1888.
I lose no time in forwarding these papers in the hope that the proposed scheme of settlement may reach Government without undue delay and that there may be no recurrenoe of the great inconvenience to which the cultivators were exposed at last year's settlement in having to attend the announcement of the rates after the rainy .... on had set in.
2. The settlement of the Sirsi TaJuka, which for reasons often explained has been made piecemeal, has been attended with one advantage at least, that, in proposing ,ates for the more recently Bettled groups of villages, we have bad the experience of already settled groupe of villages, to depend npon, and as ten difl'erent reports have heen written on ten difl'erent sets of villages, experienoe and knowledge have been 80 accumulated th .. t scarcely any important fact can have escaped attention and explanation.
S. The 26 villages for whioh proposals are now submitted by Mr. Wingate not ouly. embrace the two or three groups of vilJa,,0'8s which have been purposely dealt with last of aU, but include a few scattered villages which from their isolated position have hitherto escaped the operation. of the survey, having only gained recognition when the operations closed in upon them and the hiatus on the II1.I>pS attracted attention. In any other district ~han K'nara such a complete concealment of whole villages could scarcely have been· possible, hut M.r. Wingate has shown, in the case of Saukadgundi, a village on the high road from Sirsi to Yell'pur, how effectively its settlement bas been retarded by iuterested endeavours to ret .. in the old and almost nominal rates for a little while longer. Happily with the advent of the survey settlement the death knell, of the cotnIpt influence of the Sh!!.nbhog-and the intrigues of the powerful" Vargd'r " h .. been sounded and the scandalous concealment of cultivation and wholesale encroachment on Government waste which have been prevalent in these villages will beoome a thing of the past •
4. Of the several groups dealt with in this report, I bave only passed through the lands of one; hut the experience of Mr. Wingate, who as a classer has visited and examined each separate village, may be trooted to supply any de6cienoy in this matter. Mr. Win .... te has given a full account of the condition of these villages. The total area they contain is about 60 square mile. and the population averages about 61 to the square ·mile. Only about 10 per cent. of the area i. classed as arable, the rest being included in large forest blocks. Of oultivated area there i. 1 acre 5 guntMs to each head of population. In oonsidering this average it must be remembered that, while hair tbe land i. valuable rice land, 29 per cent. is still more valuahl~ spice garden, each guntha of which is capable of heing cultivated with a. great profit as a whole acre of the poor dry-crop lands of these parts. There is, moreover, no deficiency of cattle for the proper cultivation of the arable area.
5, Mr. Wingate'. remal'ks (paragraph 6) on the moans of conveyance at the disposal of the villnges under repert will be road with interest, as thelaok of c"rts, which the statistics of Kanara villages usually show, is very naturally looked npon as a backward sign and One that indicates a difficulty in the dispe.al of produ08 which should influence the pitoh of the ""tes. His remarks ou the inoonvenience to trade caused by the neglect of the Vadi Ghat road have no doubt peen noted hy the Collector and will be duly communicated to the LooaI Board. . ..
B 1865-42 .
166
6. For reasons which have been given in nearly every Sirsi T:lluka settlement report hitherto the revenue hi.tory of tbe villa!!es is imperfect and the figures can only be .. ""epted as indicati~g contiderable consistency and regula.ity in th. Government demand and its collection. Seeing that the old assessmente were fix.d <n areas very considerably less tban are found to exst at the present time after years of collusion with the loral officials and intere.ted concealment of encroachments, it is scarcely to be wondered at that the collections were extremely regular up to the time. wben the survey began to re.-arrange tbe lands ?f village? in the neighbourhood and portIons of the demand were transferred to vJllages mcluded In other .. ttl~ment proposals.
7. 'There can be no objection to the propo.ed ratinl! of the dry-crop and rice lands of these villages which has been strie.tly confined to maximum rates alresdy panctioned by Government for immediately adjacent villages, which, moreover~ have beenintrodnced without objection and are known to he working well.
8. The garden lands of this tract are exceptionally good, yielding valuable spices and frllit. Tbe finest are to be found in .he 2nd and Qtb groups. For all gardens except tbose in the last goup the maximum rate which has hitherto been applied to tbis class of land in the Sirsi Tl1luka,' viz., Rs. 14, is proposed, while for the •• ven villages forming tbe 6th group Rs. 13 is the maximnm "hitb has been kept in view. Tbe rate for each garden has been worked out by Mr. Wingate in the careful manner in whicb the ",sessment of these valuable lands has from the first been regulated in Kanam and tbe rating bas been supervised and tested by the !Superintendent. The qomparative inaccessibility of the 5th group of villages and the deficiency of .Iabour will be fully met by th~ s.malJ ,;dutt.ion in the pi.tcb o~ the rates prorosed. In rating spIce gardens, such as those of Slrsl, tbe Isol.t,on of the VIllage IS not of so much account BS in rating tho.e lands which produce the mere bulky exportable commodities. Where cardamoms and areca-nut are the chief products, a bead-load or even a handful is of vaJne and the larger forms of ·conveyance are less needed. Moreover, inaccessibility is a disadvantage which may be any day removed by the opening of a road in the vicinity, or, as in 'the case of the· Snpa Taluka gardens, by the construction of .. railway. Mr. Wingate has himself shown ( .. ide paragraph 6) tbat it is a disadvantage which the people themselves are minimizing from year to year. Deficiency of labour is a more .erious conpideration, and that is felt to a certain extent even in villages less isolated than these villages, w bere tbe general exuberance of the gardens would naturally pceure a certain market and good .wages to the labourers; but there are indications that the deficiencies of the labour market may soon be supplied from ontside the district. I have at this moment on my table a prospectus of the Bombay Steam Navigation Company under the dircetion of the enterprizing firm of Shepherd & Co., which shows tbat from the 13th ultimo a connection by .tesmer was established between Bombay and the Kanara,Coast ports, which will bring the tract of Ratnl1giri with its overflowing population within easy reach of these gardens. For about Rs. 1-8-0 a labourer will be able to reach Ankola from Malvan 01'
R8j~pur and labour in tbese gardens may become as remunerative as in the miIls and dockyards of Bombay. A great impetus would b. given to garden cnltivation in Kanar .. if emigration
. from these over.peopled tracts were to ensue. I have reason to hope that the opening out of the North IUnara Coast by tbe~e convenient steamers wilJ supply many of the crying wants of this r:ch but somewhat isolated district.
9. On the wbole I consider the rates proposed by Mr. Wingate and recommended by Mr. Fletcber to b. very equitable and such as Government may approve without hesitation. Where it is possible to form a comparison between the realizations from the existing rates and those .which the settlement wiIl introduce, no startling increase to the general burden of taxation results, and whatever individual. ca.es of heavy increments occur tbe concessions granted by Government Resolution No. 5573 of 21st October 1674 will prevent their being imposed with any undne suddenness. On the 16 vilJages for which reliable data are forthcoming the total increase is only equivalent to 31'1'7 per cent. In some villages, like Bilgalmani and Sankad~undi, the percentages appear excessive, but the reason is fnlly given and is easily understood by those who have had experience of Kanara settlements. The table given in Mr. Wingate'. paragrapb 18 is a useful on. to illustrate how unevenly revenue survey fate. of equal incidence may affect the percentage increase in different villages.' .
10. I concur with the Collector in recommending that the date for relinquishing lands under Section 74 or the Land Revenue Code should be extended to 6th July in respect of thi. settlement. .

I~h Karch 1588. Taluka of the K&nara District.
RZSOLUTION.-The sarvey settlement of the Si'si Taluka of the KIlnara Collectorate has, owing to climatic and other physical conside'ations, been ca"riel out in a fragmentary manner, reports upon its progress with proposa.ls conc.!ruing group! of vil'a~el ha.ving' bee:t s!lbmitted to Government on nine previons occasion. during the last sixteen ye~rs, and orders pas,ed from time to time thereon, the 1&,", being contained in Goveroment Resolution No. 3154, of the 20th of May in last year. The papers now submitted deal with the proposed grouping and asse.s· ment of the tweoty-sil< remaining villages.
2. Of the twenty-.il< villages four are completely isolated, the rem.inder lying in two more or less contiguous groups at differe"t extremities of the taluka. The cause. whirh have led to this disconnected system of snrvey in this as in other parts of Kanara bave been sufficiently noticed on previou. occasions, as also the natural features of the cOllnt,·y in which survey operations have been carried on. The stati;tios given in the present report show tho insignificance of the existing proportion of oultivated to waste land, which embraces nearly 90 per tent. of the total area of tiD square miles, tbe sparseness of the population, and the scarcity of carts of which the"e are only thirty-five in the twenty-si~ villages. But with regard to the inferenee to be drawn frem the latter figures it is justly observed that the .. thirty-five carts do not form the only mean. of oollveyallee of their prodllce at the disposal 'l>f the inhabitants, allowance having to be made for the practice of wealthier trader. visiting the villag •• and employing their own vehicles for the pUfp .... of the removal of graill and otber produce. The district, though backward owing to its comparatwe inaccessibility, is by no means poor, anJ only awaits development of ita resources which appear to be not incqnsidera.ble ..
3. A. far as enot figures can he obtained for the .. vina~eB separately, it appears that the yearly revenue collections during the past twenty yeare bave been regular in amount, averaging R •. 10,OdO per annum. Cultivation has no doubt been on the increase. but owing tt' the isol,," tion of the cultivable parts of the tt1luk .. much has hitherto escaped notice, a fact w hicb must be horne in mind in a consideration of the large increase of ... .., •• ment shown in the case of one or two village.. The present measurements g:ve a cultivated area of 2,112 acres Il;\'ainst 1,307 only shown in the present aooounts.

The percentages given in the leet column are calculated upon the figures for fifteen villages. which .Jone could be separated in the accounts in euch a manner as to give any reliable data to work upoD. .
4. The rates above proposed are similar to those already sanctioned for contiguous villages of the ta!ul!: .. , and are approved by all the officers whose opinions are now before Government. The cases of two villages alone call for, special notice, In Sankadgundi the enhance- ' ment of revenue amounts to 374'1 and in Bilga.lmani to 142·6 per cent. These apparently high figures are fully and satisfactorily explained by Mr. Wingate (an explanation endorsed by the Survey and Sett.lement Commissioner), and are, due to t~e discovery and measurement for the first time of cultIvated land, hitherto apparently held WIthout payment of assessment under circumstances detailed in paragraph 12 of the report of that officer.
5. The proposed rates are accordingly sanctitned, the settlement being introdnced during the crrent. year and the 5th of July fixed as the date np to which applications for the relinquishment of land may be received. The new rates will be levied from the ensuing yeer and will be guarsnteed until 1898-99 so that the period of settlement will expire concurrently with that of the other villages of the ta'luka. :No concessions in the matter of the collection of enhanced revenue appear necessary other than those contained in Government &solution No. 0073 of the 21~t ~~o~er 1874, which. as remarked by Mr. Stewart, are sufficient to prevent its nndue pressure m mdivldual cases. ,

Kdrtcdr, 31st October 1900.
Forwarded to th~ Commissioner, Southern Division, with compliments.
2. The 361 villages, the revision settlemllnt of which is und9r consideration now, were originally settled in 11 -batches, it being impossible on account of the unhealthiness of the climate to effect the settlement of all 'at once.
3. These 361 villages formE)d the old Sirsi Tliluka. They are now distributed thus:
2(j0 are in the present Sirsi Tliluka, 33 in Siddltpur Tliluka, 50 in Yellapur Tliluka, and 18 in Mundgod Petha,
The leases of these 361 villages have been running for periods varying from lQ to 30 years, according to their more or less recent original settleml'nt. The leases of all 361 villages expired in H;98-99. These 361 villages will be spoken of as one taluka for convenience. • .
4. The Mluka is hilly and chiefly forest in the west, broken in the centre and level in the east. There are rich gar~en lands in the valleys in the west. Except during the feverish months-October to March-the climate is pleasant and healthy. , Sirsi tow:n is about the centre of the t&luka, and here the rainfall averaged 83'85 in'ches during thE! 10 years U:l69-79. Scarcity of water is unknown.
o. The taluka is fairly roaded ; but all are fine weather roads only, except the Hubli-Kumta metalled road, running east and west through the south of the T<l.luka. All villages, eXcApt in the extreme west, have cart-road communication. The Southern M ahnl.tta Railway runs at a distance of 50-60 miles from Sirsi and the betel-nut and oardamom trade, which formerly went to Kumta, now, takes this route. The railway bas also made trade and traffic possible in the monsoon months, which formerly ceased with the rains when the "phatimars " ceased running.
6. The toll-bareale-proceeds increased from Rs.12,OOO in 1897-98 to Rs. 13,600 in 1899-1900.
7. The rainfall statistics (Appendix A) sbow considerable variance between different years and different periods of the year. Bllt the variance is ndt such as affects cultivation.
8. 72'3 per cent. of the oultivable area grows ,ice, 17 per cent. condiments and spioes, and .'i·1 per cent. orchard. and garden produce. ,
9. 81 per cent. of the taIuka is under forest,' and 13'9 per cent. is occu. pied land.
Of 60,909 acres that are occupied, 24,419 acres lie fallow every year. 600 acres have been given for cultivation out of arable waste, but appear as ara.Ie waste until the forest settlement of the taluka is complete.
10. The rice grown does not command a high price on account of its red colour.
Since tbe original settlement 340 acres bave heen converted from rioa and dry crop laud iuto garden.
The three crop experiments made in the t:lluka during the period of. settlement show the incidence of assessment on garden lands as 2'3 per cent.
11. The bazar and fair statistics are not compared with those in previous years, eb that no deductions as to comparative prosperity can be drawn from t~eUl. _

12 •. The population, which is 75 per cent, agriculturist, bad increased from' 7<> per square ,mile at the time of the original settlement to 92 in 1891.
Less than 12 per cent. of the population is literate. •
13. l>oring the five years ending 1896·97 the birth rate was 24 and the death rate,27 per thousand. ' .
14. Out of the land 'cultivated (which is roughly 61 per cent.) 30'9 is culti. vated by occupants and 29'2 per cent. by'sub-tenants.

20. Paragraph 31 of Mr. Lushington's letter sums up the reasons which might be urged for and against any alteration in the existing rates. I agree with him enti~ely in his conclusions aud proposals. I am not myself acquainted with Sirsi Taluka, but Mr. Lucas, my predecessor,-.w8S and he also concurred with Mr. Lushington ill his propostld settlement. .
The Havig garden cultivators oft'er the one ana only question for consideration. (Vide paragraph 13 of Mr. Lushington's report.) They have, since the original settlement, in a sense deliberately thrown away the advantages, improved communications and education have given them, by adopting luxuriouB and thriftless habits. Mr. Lushington says" any extra assessment put on their land would be a 'ery small amount of the money they throwaway on frivolous pretexts in law Buits." But they do not appear any wealthier now than at the time of the original settlemen t, and therefore no question of increase in their assessmen t arises.

Poona, 6th Ma!l1901.
I have the' honour to forward for submission to Government the re,Vlslon settlement proposals for the Sirsi Taluka' of Kanara prepared by Mr. Lushington. The papers were received in my office in November last and were retained until I was able to visit the taluka, which I did last month. The Acting· Collector, Mr. R. C. Brown, whose remarks accompany, supports the recommendation made by the Superintendent that the existing assessments should continue unchanged, snd in this recommendation I concur. The assessments in Yelhl.pur including the Mundgod Petha and in Haliyal were continued at revision settlement, and there does not seem to be sufficient ground for taking a different <,lourse in Sirsi. The· assessments seem to be moderate 'but not inadequato. At the same time it would perhaps be well that orders guaranteeing the settlement for a further period should be deferred until the vexed questioll of the assignment of betta lands has, as far as possible, been settled.
2. The proposals relate to 361 .villages, the leases of which expired in 1898-99. 260 of these constitute the present Sirsi Taluka; 50 hl\ve been transferred to Yeillipur, 18 to the Mundgod ,Petha and 33 to Siddapur. Mr. Lushington recommends that the present assessments should he !!,uaranteed for further periods :-in the case of the Sirsi villages up to 1913-14; in the case of the Yellapur and Mundgod villages up to 1925-26, in which year the resettlement of the taluka and ntaMI is due, and in the case of the Siddapur Taluka up to 1917·18, in which year the re·settlement of that tliluka is due. There is no objection to these proposals. .
3. The most striking points about Sirsi are that 81 per cent. of the whole area is under forest, and the popUlation is quite insufliciellt t() cultivate the remainder. The population has increased since the. original settlement, as shown by Mr. Lushington in paragraph 17 of his report; but a cousiderable part of the agricultural operations in the gardens still depends on labour from below the ghats, and a large part of the rice land is dependent on the same source fol' cultiV9,tion. The area of fallow exceeds the whole area of the dry-crop land. Most of the latter is in fact lcft for grass. Mr. Lushington estimates that out of 21,121 acres of dry-crop land only 800 aores is cultivated. As the whole area.offallow is 24,420 acres, it follows that about 4;100 of rice or garden land is fallow, chiefly of coarse rice. This is over 12 pel: cent. of the whole rioe area. A very large number of labourers from ·below the gMts are in great measure dependent for their livelihood on work in the villages ahove the ghats, but o~ account of the difference of climate they esteem the work a hardship and exact good wages. Thns the cost of cultivation is high.
4. T.he ~verage ass~ssment on dry-crop land in the fir;;t group is under 8 annas, which IS low but IS perhaps suffioient for land whlch is almost wholly fallo~. '[he average assessment on rice land in the first group is Rs. 2-7-4, and In the second group Rs. 3-3-9, which is decidedly low. If an inorease of assessment were thought desirable a moderate enhancement mi",ht be placed on rice land, but in view of the difficulties of cultivation and the fact that the rice does not fetch a high price, the present rates may perhaps suffice. The assess-
ment on garden land avtlrages Rs, 13-,j,\.2 in tlie .~ond group, with a maximum , of Re. 15' the acre. 'l'his is not Ii. high assessment when the gardens are doing
well' but there is '!Teat complaint just now that the gardens are less profitable and thIJre seems to"be no' _oubt< that the Havig Brahmans who are the"prinnipal owners are more involved in debt than formerJoy. On the whole the time is not favourable £ol':an increase of assessment.
S. The complaint' of the gardeners is that the assigned' betta' lands do not yield sufficient ,. soppu" or green manure," and to this is attributed the fa11inoo off in t.he yield of' ~he gardens. Cardamoms are said to be disappearing llear 8irsi, and the high price is no doubt d\'\~. to diminished supply. Pepper and bet"l-nuts nn tlie ?ther ha~d feel the effects of over-produ~tio~. 'I'he latter are said to sulfer mor~ from dlsease than formerly. Mr. MollIson s investigations established tht!, need of nitrogonou& manure, ant green leaves oonstitute the only cheap source. But the treatment to which the trees are SUbjected is heart-rending. The labourers, go forth and lop every branch,
. supplying the household with firewood and the gardens with soppu at one ,operati9n• No thought see,ms tQ be !?iven to ~he 'question o! future s~pply: or to the preservation of s~~lings. Thls waste£lil syst?!ll has, like Kumrl cultlvation, bappily now prohlblted, come dOI'Vn.from the time when the fQrests were considered everyone's property and of no value, "ana the gardeners seem incapable of con!lidering whetber otiler methods are pbssible. It is useless to think of trying to introduce a b.etto.r system. All that can be done is for the :Forest Department tolry to restrict' ihe aUlount of gratuitous damage. The. legitirnate requirements of the gardeners o'ught, if possi~le, to be met.
6. ~i:r. MollisQn has 'recommended that the assigned betta lands should be increased up to a limit of 9' acres of bett~ to 1 of garden.. He suggested that to make up for the loss of forest revenue the' assessment of the garden lands should ,be raised by ahout Rs. 2 the acre. In r~viewing his report I suggested that 'a charge of 4 snuas the acre might be made for the betta lands. I am now, however, of opinion that there is not sufficient ground either for increasing the assessmeuts or for charging rent for the betta lands assigned for the old gard~n area. There has been much correspondence, which is not before me, on the subject of betta, and I believe it has been decided that steps should be taken by the Assistant Collectors and ·Forest offic.ers to demarcate and assign additional • betta lands. The holders of the old gardens cousider that they are entitled to this-they would ~robably be content with 8 acres to 1 of garden-and the proper cou,rse seemS to be to comply ,with their demands as far as possible. If, how,ever, forest is not available in. the required locality, or for some good reason cannot be assigned, then the gardeners in those villages should be to~d so plainly and allowed to convert part of the garden area into rice land with reduetion of
. assessment. There is ,nough forest. and to spare in Kanara, the old gardens are worth preserving, and wherever possible the additional assignments should be made, but I believe that in certain villages .forest land of the required quality converiient.ly situated is not to he found.
1. ,As rl'gards new garden the case is different. I have heard that it has been decided that no betta shouhl be assigned for new ga.rden, but the papers are not before me. It is perhaps undesirable that the formation. of new garden should be encouraged at the expense of the forests; but, on the other hand, the prooess is limited by the con.figuration of the oountry, and seeing tile wealth of forests"of much of which little use is made, it would be a harsh measure to cut off the supply of the forest-produce' neoessary for the successful extension of a singularly tine industry. But there is no reason why betta lands should be assigned.free of payment. When the new garden lands will only pay the low assessment on rice land or in some cases only the very low assessment on drycrop laud. It might perhaps be ruled that betta lands may be assigned for new garden up to a limit 01 8 acres for eaoh acre of garden, provided forest land of the right quality is available, on payment of He, 1 per aere of the land so assigned," :::lome glll'deners have expressed their Willingness to pay this.
, '8. About 300 a'cres of old rice land and 40 aores of dry-crop are reported to have boon. converted into new garden (parag~'aph" 12" of the fPPOrt). These aloe not exact measurements but met'ely estlmates by the village officers.
B 13Gii-l'
Mr .. Lushiagton reports that t,~e ·areas will pay assessmeIl:t as before. There seems to be no re3l10n, however, why these lands should not be properly measured and made to pay the maximum rice or dry-crop rates. I found that· even well.edUlJated Havig Brahmans at Sirl\i were under t1J.e impression that "after revision of the settlement the"new gardens would have to pay full garden rates; and they seemed to have no objection to thia, provided arrangemenU were made for an adequate supply of. soppu. Thia is a reply to 'those who think that revision of assessment acts as a bar to improvement of land. The rules against taxing improvements (within moderate limits) tend to throwaway publio
j revenue without benefit to anyone. The evil in our as~essments lies not in . their amount or their liability to moderate enhancement but in their rigidity,
irrespective of seasons. '.

RBVENUE . J:)EPARTMENT.
llelgaum, Brd August 1901;
Forwarded to Gov\lrnment. .' 2. There does not seem sufficient ground for increasing the rates of th_
, villages. , .
3. To judge from the map the grouping .is capable of improvement. :aut • as the moving a village from one grqup to another involves the labour of
re-calculating the assessments on, its fields, the grouping might .be left as it ia till a new set of rates is adopted, .,.
4. As regards the period for which the old rates shall run on, Mr. 'Lushington's proposal that in the case· of villages tranliferred to other talukas the old
. rates shall rUn on as long as the rates of those tilukas run on, and that in the case of villages that constitute the present Sirsi Mluks. they shall run on for 15 years from 1898-99, seems judicious; • '
5. The question of betta·land and the q1lestion of green soppu are such difficult questions and will take such a long time to. settle that I would propose to keep them'tlut of what seems to me the. only question which inevitably has to be settled. on Mr. Lushington's report, and that is, shall the old rates be let run on for some more years yet or not. •
6. I har.dly think that it would be right to raise the revenue on lanru; that have been improved from rice into garden. , '." ...

Memorandum·from the Commissioner, S. D., No. 3000, elated 80th August 1901-Submitting one No. .... -3380, dated 7th idem, from the Director of Land Record. and Agriculture, who forwards a statement showing. the 6.tta lands assigned to the garden lands in the villages of the old Sirsi Tliillka. situated in the present tI1lukas of SirBi, Siddlipur and Yelilipur and Petha Mllndgod of the Klinara District.
RESOLUTION.-The recommendation to continue existing rates for such· periods that the terms of guarantee will expire concurrently with th09C fot other villages in the Utlulms in which the villages now dealt with are respectively situated seems to Government to be judicious and is aocepted. So far as the 260 villages in the present Simi Taluka are concerned the present rates
• should be guaranteed ·for a further period of 15 years. There is evidence that the assessment is moderate and in some cases might even be enhanced without hardship; bllt in many of the villages the present rates, which often resulted in a large increase of tbe demand, have not been long in force and an alteration of them at present is to be deprecated. It is moreover of paramount importance that the extension of cultivation in this tract of oountry should be encouraged. It would probably remove some of the Clauses of the unhealthiness of the clinlate, and if that were the result immigration from congested tr\cts might.be induced by a light"assessment to the general advantage. It is to be regretted that so much cultivable land.has from time to tinle been included in the forest area and the Governor in Council desires that it should be made generally known that applications for the disforestment and cultivati,on of land which tfte Colleotor considers to be euitable for culti va tion will be fa. vourably considered.-
2. As regards the small areas of rice and dry-crop land converted into garden, Government do not think tha~ the direct assessment should be raised on that accollnt. . Anything which might reasonably be re,,<>arded as a taxation of improvements is to he deprecated. Rules under Section 31 of the FQrest Aot have beert sanctioned, and will shortly be .published. U nd~ those rules, a charge of Rs. 8 per acre may be made for the use of soppu and that chll'l'ge may fairly be made in the case of coIPVerted garden land assessed at rice or dry-orop rates whether ~e soppu is taken from the general area of protected • forest or from a betla &wgnment. .
