Report on Bustar. [No. 11, new semes. 



tax or payment levied from the village weavers (Gandas) of the 

 dependency who are a numerous class. This (including Shawah) 

 was rented out for the past year 1265 Fusly for Nagpore Rupees 

 5,000 ; but as many advantages may be expected to arise from a 

 department whose operations are so widely spread and means of 

 information so constant and varied when retained in the hands of 

 Government, I have determined for the ensuing year to put the 

 Sayer of Bustar under active Khalsa management, exacting perio- 

 dical Reports and Returns and as strict an enquiry as circumstan- 

 ces will permit into the Collections and traffic of the dependency. 

 The Talook of Shawah had in the year 1264 Fusly been under 

 contract, but is now under Khalsa management, and yields a rental 

 of Nag. Rs. 1,000. There is therefore no outstanding balance of 

 Takolee due from the Bustar dependency, but rather during the 

 management of the equivalent transferred, a profit has accrued to 



the Government. During the visits of Dulgunjun Sing to Nagpore 

 however he has received on different occasions from the Govern- 

 ment Kotee at Nagpore and from the Treasury at Raipore, the fol- 

 lowing sums for private expenses.

The whole of this amount has now been transferred to the Rai- 

 pore District accounts. When the last amount was paid in Nag- 

 pore in the year 1262 Fusly, the Rajah ordered the whole sum to 

 be recovered by annual instalments of Rupees 1,000 each from the 

 year 1268 Fusly and the remainder namely Rs. 110 -8-9£ in 1271 

 Fusly. 



14. Of his debts I have not been able to obtain from the Rajah 

 any detailed Statement* but from the number 

 of complaints received they would not appear
