 No. 408. 



To J. THOMASON, ESQ. 

 Secretary to the Honorable the Lieutenant Governor, 



N. W. Provinces, Agra, Revenue. 



SIR, In continuation of my letter, No. 362, dated the 4th ultimo, 

 the Sudder Board of Revenue, North Western Provinces, direct me to 

 forward for submission to the Honorable the Lieutenant Governor, the 

 enclosed correspondence respecting the appropriation of the road fund 

 in Zillah Goruckpore. 



2nd. The Board observe, that Mr. Reade, the Collector, has been 

 indefatigable in his endeavours to improve the communications of his 

 District, and has excited in the people a degree of interest in the matter, 

 and received from them a degree of co-operation in respect of uniting 

 on Committees to superintend the construction of roads, and direct and 

 control the expenditure of the fund, such as the Board have seen no 

 where else. A great deal has been effected in a short time, for the 

 commercial interests of the District, and the roads arc really, where the 

 Board have had an opportunity of seeing them, so good, that a person 

 may travel by night and sleep in his carriage in comfort, an experiment 

 that few would be willing to make on any other roads with which the 

 Board are acquainted. 



3rd. Mr. Ronald's reclamation, the Board observe, appears to have 

 rather had reference to his own particular accommodation, than that 

 of the public. I have, &c. 



(Signed) H. M. ELLIOT, Secretary.
