APPENDIX G. 



(Taken from the " Mofussilite " * of the 25th May, 1860.) 



IN a Notification by the Punjaub Government, dated the 28th 

 December, 1859, it was intimated that of the extensive waste 

 lands existing in the Kangra district, a considerable portion was 

 well adapted for tea cultivation. Parties desirous of securing 

 portions of waste lands were invited to negotiate with village 

 communities, and were promised the aid of an officer, who would 

 be deputed by Government to facilitate the transfer. Subse- 

 quently, in order to obviate the difficulties it was anticipated 

 that settlers might experience in purchasing lands direct from 

 the zemindars, the local authorities were authorized to purchase 

 waste land for Government in view to its resale to settlers. It 

 is hereby notified that about 10,000 acres of land in the Kangra 

 and Palum valleys are now in the hands of Government. Of 

 this quantity about 6,000 acres will be sold at Kangra on the 

 1st July next, by public auction, in lots not exceeding 200 acres 

 each, at certain upset prices, which, together with a detail 

 of the lots, will be advertised on or about the 1st of June 

 next.
