Poona, 1st December 1919. From A. W. W. MACKIE, EsQ., M.A., I. C, S., Ag. · Settlement Commissioner and Director of Land Records •· To THE CHIEF ~ECRETARY To GOVERNMENT ' ' Revenue Depart'ment, Bombay. Sir, ' I have the honour of submitting the Annual Report of the 'Department of . Settlement and Land Records for the year ending 31st July 1919. CHAPTER I. PREFATORY. ' ' 1. The charge of the Department was held by Mr.· F. G. H. Anderson I. c: 8., from 1st August 1918 ~0. 21st February 1919, except for an interval of 51 · d,ays . ":hen he was: on prlVllege leave and Mr. A. M. Macmillan, ~· C. S., offimated. For the rest of the year I have acted as Settlement Commissioner and Director of Land Records. · 2. The late MrS. E. Reuben was in charge of the Northern 'Division as Superintendent of Land Records, from 1st August 1918 to 3rd November i918 when he fell ~ victim to influenza at Thana, where he had gone on duty, .For the rest of the year Mr. C. D:Kavi was in charge. In the Central and Southern Divisions, Messrs. V. B. Mardhekar' and A. R. Dalal, respectively were Superintendents throughout the year. ' 3. Mr. Anderson visited Bombay,Kalyan, Thana, Kurla, Bandra, Panvel Deolali, Ahmedabad, Mahad, W ai, Barsi, Sholapur, Bijapur, Padag, Hubli and Sa tara and other minor places, mainly , to inspect city surveys in progress or under maintenance, suburban surveys, District Survey Offices, and the working of the new revenue accounts, in addition to the inspection of Registra tion offices. He also looked into the working of the Huzur and Taluka record 'rooms under the slip system of correspondence and filing and the direc tions in the compilation of A.B.C.D. Lists. After I took charge I toured in Dharwar, Belgaum, Satara, Ahmednagar, Surat,. Broach, Thana and Ratnagiri Districts, and visited Bombay, working on the same lines as my predecessor. · . · . 4. The Superintendents toured actively an~ extensi':e~y. in their divisio~, controlling and testing the work of the field pa~Ies, subdiVIBI?n surveys, mty and village site surveys; aud the Record of Rights, and carrymg out the usual inspection of the. District Survey Offices. CHAPTER II. Land Records Establishments. · 5. The establishments under the control of th? Divisio~al Suprintend~nts were the staffs of the District Survey Offices, .t~e. Field Parties, t~e establish ments for city surveys and the surve;v of sub-divlSions ; and the special measurers appointed in most districts for routme measurement work. Under the control of the Superintendents these est:J.blishments wer~ supervised by the District Inspectors everywhere· also by one Deputy Supermtendent an~ one Survey . Mamlatdar in the So~thern Division, two Survey ~ai_D~atdars m the Central Division, and two Head Surveyors. in the North~~ DIVIsion. Eac~ of thc~e officers supervises a large· establishment. cons1st~ng of many parties, each m charge of a head man immediately respons1ble for 1ts work . .. 83-1 'l'mining of Junior Civilians. 6, There \Yero no junior civilians. to be trained i~ survey ?-Dd settlement matters during the year. One probat1~n~r.Y Deputy C?llector m the Northern Division and another in the Southern DIVISion were tramed by the respective Superintendents. Trai11ing of District Inspectors. , 7. In HJ16 and 1917 as a measure of war economy and because there were only a few men to ·be trained, no class ":as held for training District Inspectors. By 1!)~8 a class had b~come ve_ry ~esirable as we cannot possibly dispense with tec~m?al know~edge m our J?Istnct Inspe~tors, and by th:tt. time a fair number of JUnwrs required to be tramed. Accordm~ly under sanct10n of Government Order, Hevenue Department, No. !J429 of 18th September 1918 a class was held from 24th September to 26th October Hll8 in theodolite and pl~ne table work, under the charge of Mr. B. R. Joshi, Lecturer, College of Engineer ing, Poona. Five District Inspectors, one Head-quarter Assistant from the Central Record Office, Ahmedabad, one clerk from my office, and one each from the offices of the Superintendents of Land Records, Northern and Central Divi sions, attended. All gained certificates of qualification. Training of Circle Inspectors. 8. Owing to financial stringency and the claims of famine work, no classes were held for the training of Circle Inspectors in survey but in accord ance with Government Order, Revenue Department, No. 12027 d(tted 11th November 1919, I have made arrangements for classes in the ensuing fair season. In these classes a thorough practical training in the methods of survey in actual use is given, and now that under Go\·ernment Order No. 10345, dated 3rd October 1919, all routine measurement work is being assigned to special measurer Circle Inspectors, the object of the class is to bring the staff of special measurers up to full strength and efficiency with the least possible delay. !J. These classes for measurer Circle Inspectors will not be necessary in future. So long as the ordinary Circle Inspectors had to do measurement work, and new Circle Ihspectors were continually being appointed, annual classes for training them quickly in survey were necessary. But the measurer Circle Inspectors will change much less frequently, and a,ny training of new men that is necessary can be done in connexion with the various establishments referred to in paragraph 5 above, for which we annually train new recruits. Indeed it is highly probable that~ in future the measurer Circle Inspectors will be mainly recruited .from these establishments. · . _ 10 _ The extent to which the ordinary Circle Inspectors will hereafter be tramed m survey has yet to be determined (Government Order, Revenue D_epartment, No.
