Six cases were disposed of by grant t 4 in Bangalore, 1 in Hassan and 1 in.l\Iysorej and 34:_ were rejected leaving 59 pending at the close of the year. - ··The .Deputy C~mmissioner of Shimoga has ·observed that ~hough the lists of , blocks~ 410 in number, available for b.eing granted were published and distributed ·among- the several taluks Qf the district, the scheme has not caught on and that . the matter a-ppears ~o require special iri~'estig:i.tion. The difficulty with the genera . 1ity of our raiyats seems to be mainly want of sufficient capital and _enterpriRe to work the estates on a large seale. · Tbe question of granting these _lands- only to those likely to utilize them for .experimenta.l purposes, of giving preference ·to first applicants, restricting. the sub-division of eBtates into small numbers n.nd extending the concession to date grove lands as . well, which was mooted at the -·-Dasa~a SessioD:· o~. the Representative Assembly last year; is under consideration. 15.

At the ~nd of the year there was an extent of 21~8 acres and U guntas available for culti,Ta tion. In this comiection referencP is invited to this ofike letter~ o. C. 3D9-'2'2-:?3, dated 16th January.1923, in which the proposals of the Sub-Committee appointed in Government· order No. R. 15:25-9-L. H. 13-2'2-3, dated 19th September l!Y.H, to go into question of the continuance or abolition of the Block System of Irrigation und~r the V 2.nivilas Sagara were reported to Government. If the proposals made ther em br hot weather supply are sanctioned, the extent of irrign.ble lands that could be sold would be -very lit~le, as already observed in my letter to Go~Ternment No. C. 2631-Gl. 22-23, dated 12th ~I arch 1923. The. demand for the year was Hs. 84,241-lt;-11 including the balance of Rs. 3984-0-~ left uncollected at the. end ?f the P!e~ious year. Out of this a sum of Rs. 79034-10-1 was collected (mcludmg renns~wns) leaving a balance of Rs .. 5207-5-10 inclusive of a'sum of Rs. 845-4-D due on the • 11 . lands belonging to the Government Agricult-ural Farm at Babhur, and ·another Rs. 7IG-3-8 to be written off the accounts.· The recoverable arrears were thus Rs. 4!';1-2-'2 of which a sum of-Rs.1332-9-0 is reported to have been since co1lected . • An extent of '273 Ac. 29 Gs. was unauthorised by cultivated during the year and necessary action was taken in the matter. rrhe Deputy Commissioner notes also . that penal wn.ter mte had to be recovered in respect of 3!)6 acres 37 guntas un authorisedlv irrigated in previous years, and that a sum of Rs. 1023-2-0 was so· recovered i~ respect of an extent of 101 aero::; 11 guntas only. 11he Deputy Com . missioner \Vill be requested to take prompt actio'n in respect of the remaining extent as well. lG. Special Concessions for TVater-rate wule1: the Iirishnara}a.sagara.-rrhe Deputy Commissioner of ~lysore has reported that n·one of the raiyats raised quick n-rowing crops on L:mds commanded by the Krishnarajasagara on payment of the ~pecial water-rate of Rs. 2 per acre under Government Order No. 12921-74-L.R. 4~-18-15, dat.ed 7th April 1919, during the year. . A rea under Occupation and Crops. -The appended statement No. VIII shows the area under occupation and the area cropped in th~ several districts as compared with the previous year, . There was on. the whole an increase of 12,487 acres in the_ area under occupata- tion as compared with 1921-22 though there were slight decreases in th~ districts of Bangalore, Kolar~ l\lysore and Chitaldrug reported to be due to' relinquishments for want of timely and adequate ~Iungar rains. Of the total area under occupation amounting to 7·9 million acres, ·only about o·t million acres or a litt.le over 77 per cent was actually under crops. The largest percentage of fallows was in the Chital drug District and the smallest. in the ~Iysore District. It will be observed that though the. total area cropped during the year under report exceeded that in the previous year by 121,954 acres, it fell short of the 'avei·age of the preceding five yeat:s by .28,051 acres. · The percentage of fallow to the· area under occupation for the whole State was '1J"6 as against 2:3·3 in 1921-:!2 but the percentage of land that lay- fallow- was in exces:: of this i1Y all the districts except Mysore and Bangalore, 18. Are~ under select crops.-·The appended statP.ment IJY~hows the exte~t of cultinttion under the select crops,· paddy, ragi, cholam, horsegram, sugarcane ancl cotton-in the several districts and the difference in the acreage under these crops as compared with the previous year. Tl1e areas under ragi, cholam, sugarcane and cot~on showed a slight increase but those under paddy and horsegram decreased by !),;123 and 10,205 acres respec tively. The decrease under paddy occurred in all the districts except Tumkur and ~Iyson~ and was clue to the insufficiency of water in the tanks owing to the failure of timelY. rains. There was a marked increase (14,139 and 15,000 acres respec tively) in the area under ragi in the Tumkur and ~lysore Districts '.Yhile the Dangalore District showed a large shrinkage of 13,302 aeres. The increase in the area nuder mgi accounts ch_ietly for the decrease of that under horsegram. The he::tvy fall of 5,8UO acres under horsegram in the ~Iysore District is attributed to the failure of e::trly :\lung::tr rains., The increase under cholam .\'\·as largest in the Tumkur and ~Iysore Districts being 9,f5'3"2 and 5,070 acres respectively; but there was a fall of 2,0:2;) ::teres in the Chitaldrug District and m:m acres in the Kolar District. The total area under sugar-cane in the- State showed au incre.ase of 5,379 acres in spite fall of U5 acres in the TuriJkur District. There was a total increase of 2:3 300 acrl.'s of the under cotton in tlie State of which 2:2,:)38 were in the Chitaldru'a District alone, where it seems to have replaced the other dry crops to a considerable extent. There w~'ts no cotton cultivation in Bangalore and Kolar Districts. 19. Ontturn vt crops.-The appended statement No. X sho\vs the average outtnrn (in ailll::ts) of the select crops, paddy, ragi, horsegram, cholam and sugar cane in the several Districts during the _year under report as compared with the year 10:21-'22. · · The average yield. of all the crops excepting horsegram \Vas poorer than in the previous year. The Kolar District fared badly under all the heads and Chitaldrug "as not also very much better except under horsegra.m. The yield of paddy. in the 1:2 )!alnad Uistricts o~ Shimoga and Kadur, of ragi in Bangalore, Hassan, Shimoga. and hadur,, of cholam m Bangalore an~ Hassan, and of sugar-cane in Tumkur, l\Iysore and Sh1moga was also poorer than m the year previous. .

The average duration of jamabandi ranged from g·u days in tlH' l\lysore Dis trict to 20.5 in the Shimpga District. Chitaldrug was the only district in which the jamabandi of all the taluks was colllpleted before the end of J:t'ebrun.ry 19~~3. The progress made by that time in the districts of Bangalorr, Kolar, Tumkur an<1 l\Iysore· was also fair. The delay in the Ha~san District is attributPcl to sowc of the village accounts not being ready. In the Kadur District, the delay is attrilHJt ed to the fact that l\fr. M. Shamanna, Special Second Grn.de :\Iagistmte, had to l1c placed in charge of the Tarikere Sub-Divit.ion in addit-ion to his own· stationary duties from 5th l\Iarch 1923 to 11th l\Iay 1923 owing to specbl unforeseen causes. Shimoga, where only two out ofthe nine talt~ks. were settled befon· the close of February, was the only District that lagged behind during the year. 'l'bc tonr of the Dewan in the District in January last partly accounts for this and the Sub Division Officer of Sagar is reported t9 have not gone through the work in accor dance with any fixed programme. This officer (~Jr. :\1. ~. Hatuacha.ndra Han) failed also to submit the jaruabandi reports of Shikarpu!·, Sagar and Sorab 'l'a.luh in spite of repeated reminders. He has f>ince submitted a col!solida.ted rC'port for all these three taluks which is receiving. attention. 13 22.

The collections were generally satisfactory and greater than in the previous year and resulted in the reduction of the closing balance from Rs. 23,121 to 18,946, all the districts excepting :g-assan and Chital clrug having contributed to this decrease. The percentage of collections was also better in all ~he districts except Hassan and Mysore being 92'3 as against 91'0. in Hl-21-22 but It cannot be considered to have been satisfactory in the districts of \Iysore, Hassan and Kadur as it was less than 90.

Out of an arrear of Rs. 69,791 for which proc3sses. were adoptad under this . section a sum of Rs. 9,766 was realised.

Village F'orests.-Attention was confined during the year chiefly to the consolidation of the work of the previous years and to bringing the Panchayets into working order. After deducting the area cancelled from the list of Vilbge Forests in the Mysore DiRtrict, the total number of village forests at the close of the year remained at 103, covering an extent of 40,570 acres or 634 sq. 'miles. · Mr. A.V. Kesava Iyengar, Special J:l,orest Officer attached to the office of the Revenue Comt:nissioner in connection with the Village Forest Scheme inspected 90 blocks during the year and gave instructions to the Panchayets in the matter of their management. He made special efforts during the last rainy season to get useful trees planted in the village forests of the Kolar District. Several Panchayets have already begun to realise ·the benefits of the scheme and have done sufficiently good work for the short period that ·the scheme has been worked. ·The powers delegated to them have been used with moderation and discretion. The example set by the 'model' Panohayets has been followed by others in the same District and thanks to the favourable local conditions some of the latter have been able to show even bet ter results than their models, especially in the Kolar Di.;;trict. The villagers con-· tributed free labour to an esti.mated extent of Rs. 650 and a sum of Rs. 2,7 44 was realised by the Panchayets during the year by the disposal of forest produce as against Rs. 1,696, of the previous year. A sum of Rs. 592 was spent out of it for carrying out improvement works such as sowing seeds and planting· treesr ploughing up blank spaces for promoting the growth of fodder crops, cutting and clearing boundary lines, climber cutting, creating water facilities, etc , and also for engaging paid watchers in special seasons. The Panchayets ha.d in all a deposit of Rs. 3,5'18 at the close of the year. With a view to secure some uniformity in the maintenance of registers and accounts, a set of forms were prescribed during the year and Government have been pleased to sanction a supply of these forms to the Panchayets free of cost for three years (vide G.' 0. ~ o. I. C. 6872-82 Ft. 288-22-2 dated 11th May 1923). A special report on the progress of the village forest sohen1e from the date .of its inception up to the end of the year was submitted to Government with this office No. C 678-23-24. dated lOth August 1923 and Government have been pleased in their order No. I.C. 1486-95 Ft. 76.23-2 dated 21st September 1923 to note with satisfaction. the appreciable advance in the working of the village forest scheme since the appointment of the Special Officer. r1 hough, however the Revenue Commissioner had recommended the extension of the services of the temporary establishment employed on the scheme for another year, Government. ordered its disbandment from 1st August 1923 owing to the financial stringency. It is, however, trust~d that a:; soon as finances improve, this establishment will be revived as the work is very valuable in the interests of the raiyat population. 36.

As usual at these Conferences stock was taken of work act ually done under the Vilhge lri1provement Scheme and other measures crf general and local improvement. Lectures also were delivered on Agriculture, Education, Co-operation and Civic anil Social progress by the Departmental vfficers and ex perienced non-official gentlemen. The Major·and Minor wants of the districts were also discussed. Exhibitions of agricultural and in~ustrial products' and demonstra tions of the use of improved implements and of the manufacture of jaggory on improved lines were held in connection with several of the Conferences. Panchama Conferences are reported to h~we been orgauised as adjuncts to the District and Taluk Conferences in the Tumkur and Chitaldrug Districts. An interesting feature of the District Conference at Kolar was the holdfng of a Conference of ladies at "\vhich Sri Srirangamma, B.A., Inspectress of Girls' schools presided. A special featum of the District Conference at Shimoga was the organization of an exhibition of. charts relating to infant welfare and epidemic diseases. · A cattle show was also organi~ed as an adjunct to the Taluk Conference at Sivaganga in the N elamangala Taluk. Several Panchama Conferences were held in Hiriyur i:tnd Challakere Taluks of the ChitaldrugDistrict. Sheep and Cow shows were held in the Kolar and Tumkur Districts and they are said to have proved a great success. A child welfare exhibition, a baby show a.nd a boys' scout rally had also been organized in connection with the DistriJt Conference at 'I'umkur. The non-officiaJ public are reported to have evinced great enthusiasm in all these Conferences which were very useful and afforded an opportunity for officials and non-officials· to meet and discuss matters of public and general interest and take stock of progress achieved. 39. Revision 8uTvey c£ Settlement.-The re-classification operations which remained unfinished at bhe close of the yea.r 192l-'22 in some of the villages of tl· Hoskote a.nd Chintamani Taluks were completed during the year. Re-classification of water supply to wet and garden lands was also conducted under the new procedure in the taluks of Aoekal, Kola.r, Bowringpet, ~alur, Gnudlupet, Yedatore: SeringM.patam (non-nala villages) and a portion of Krisfina rajepet. The total number of villages thus classed was 2,151: Revision settlement.-Revision settlement was introduced during the year into· the taluks of Heggaddevankote, Seringapatam (Chaannel, area) Hole-Narsipur, Arkalgud, Sid!aghatta, Bagepalli and Devanhalli. 40. Inspection nf Boundary Marks.-The p,ppended statement No. XX shows by districts the numbP~· of boundary marks inspected by Shekdars and Amildars, the number found to be missing or in disrepair and the number set right and also the cases in which the liability of defaulting raiyats to make good the cost of repairs was enforced. The Deputy Commissioner of Bangalore District reports that he inspec ted some boundary marks during J amabandi and other tourE and that the Sub- . Division Officers in his District also did the same. The Deputy Commissioner of Mysore states that the Sub-Division Officer, French Rocks inspected a fair number of marks during his tours. Out of 12,64,414 marks inspected during the year 78,632 were either missing or in disrepair. The Deputy Commissioners of Shimoga and Hassan state that almost all the bandhs and stones in disrepair or missing were promptly repaired by the raiyats. As the resurvey maps in respect of Hunsur and Chikmagalur Taluks had not been received and as the inaps in respect of Tiptur taluk were received late in the year no systematic inspection could, it is reported, be made in those taluks. The resurvey maps in respect of the Chikballapur Taluk were received during the year. The marks in Alur Sub-Taluk were in good condition as they had been brought to standard during the recent resurvey operations in that Sub-Taluk and most of the bandhs and stones in Mysore, Hunsur and Nagamangala 'raluks were set right due to the introduction of survey and settlement. Notices to khatedars who failed to maintain the boundary marks in good condition were issued in '25 cases in the Malur Taluk, 200 in Sira 'raluk, 10 in Chama;ajnagar Taluk, 4 in the Kadur Taluk, 48 in the Tarikere Taluk an<1.,. 18 in the Challakere Taluk, 20 in the J agalur Taluk, and in the Hiriyur Taluk.

Frontier Boundary JJ1arks.-· A fa,ir number of frontier boundary marks were inspected eitlwr by the Amildars or the Sub-Division Officers ati.d found to be in o·ood condition. It is mported that the Ainildar of l\1udgere Taluk did not in spe~t any marks as the orders of Government approving of the boundary line as fixEd jointly by the Special Officers of l\lysore and British Governments had not been received. The· Amildars of .Molakalmuru aad Jaga!ur Taluks who· have not furnished ip.formation in this respect have been ca_lled upon to furnish it. A few frontier boundary niarks between Munireddipalya and Byad!1rahalli, i.e., between Bangalore City and Civil and 1\fil~tary . Station were inspected by the -Deputy Commissioner, Bangalore. The frontier boundary marks bordering on, the Kudlige Taluk of the Bellary District as also those on· the Rayadrug road were mspected during J amabandi by the Deputy Commissioner, Chita~drug and the ·.boundary' marks at the British Frontier near Kodachadri in the Nagar Taluk and. near Agumbe in the Thirthahalli Taluk were inspected by the Deputy Commissioner, Shimoga, at the time of the Huznr Jamabandi of the respective taluks. The question of amending the schedule of boundaries of the 'Civil-and :Military Station of Bangalore was under consideration. and the plan· prepared by a profes sional Surveyor of the Survey Department after a joint inspeCtion by the Assis tant Commissioner in charge of the Bangalore "J.laluk and the Deputy· Collector, Civil and Military Station, \Vas sent to the Collector, Civil and Military Station, for opinion.

Arrea.rs of Plwd Wor~· in the Districts.-Five special mojinidars were employed during the year for iiitending to arrears of phod work (other than Amrut 1\fahal kaval phod work} in the districts. Three of these, t,:iz., 2 in :Mysore District and 1_ in the Ka~ur Distr~ct :worked throughout the year.

The total extent sub-divided by the Distnct Surveyor and Shekdars in the Kadur · District was 313 acres 18 guntas. As t:he District Surveyor at Chitaldrug had to devote much of his attention to the rectifi cation of the discrepancies noticed in the Rayad.rug-Uolakalmuru frontier boundary he was not able to attend to the sub-division of lands· in the district about 500 cases of which were pending. Two mojinidars have since been sanctioned to attend to the kaval and other phod work in that district during the cur.rent ye~r. The extent of '\vork turned out by the Surveyor and Shekdars under tlus head m other districts has not b~en reported by th~ Deputy Commiijsioners. 43.

The Deimty Commissioner, Bangalore, reports that proposals reaardin(l' the accommodation to heprovided for the several offices in the new block ~f the0 Dis trict office building are still pending final orders of Government. The District Excise Office at Hassan '\\·hich was shifted to Jail Buildings sometime back has _since been shifted to the block of buildings which was constructed originally as witnec;s sheds but was subsequently occupied by the District Board' Office and Hassan Sub-Division Office for sometime. The accommodation for the pisttict Office at Hassan iti stated to be inadequate ·and that for want of suitable accommodation the Hole-Narsipur Sub-Division Office continued to be held in the :Municipal building at Hassan on a monthly ren .ta~ of Rs. 50.· The D~puty Commissioner, Shimoga, notes that at present the Dis trict office buildings is much overCl:owded and that accommodation is insufficient for the several offices and courts located in it, and that the Soecial I and II class .Magistrates' Courts which· are located in the narrow and~ ill-ventilated lumber rooms in the rear portio.n of the building require urgently a better location. For want of accommodation the Shimoga (now Thirtbaballi) Sub-Division office has ~een located in the old travellers' bungalow and the question of shifting it to the second Ho_or of the block occupied by the :Forest Office in the compound of the Dis .trict office and removing th~ Forest Office to the old travellers' bungalow is under consideratio:d.' · The Deputy Commissioner, Chitaldrug, reports that as observed by the Dewan during his inspectiou tour in the district the question of shifting · the.

The Deputy Commissione~· Hassan explains tha.~ t'jualified men were not available. e~en thou_gh the y-aD;cancies were advertized in the gazette a.nd the Deputy CommissiOner, Sh1moga Du;tnct states t4at as qualified candidates were not available in the- District so~e of the competent officials in Taluk Offices who &bowed aptitude for excutive work were selected and appointed, as old scheme Shekdars. As the Shekdari Training . School has been abolished other suitable arrangements have·.to be made for· the future recruitment and training of candidates for j;he Shekdari Service. Proposals in_ this respect have been submitted t\1 Governmen.t in my letter No. C. 4061-22-2.:3 dated 5th June 1923 suggesting the appointment of ten shekdari probatio~ers on Rs~ 30 each and for their training in the Engineering school and in a Burvey field establishme:r;tt and their orders are avaited. . · · . . · -- · · The Deputy Commissioner, Hassan, brings to notice that the three ·probationers who were appointed during the year 20-21 hctve not yet qualified themselves for confirmation .. He will be asked to dispense with their services if they· do not qualify themselves before the end of this year. , , The Deputy Commissioner, Bangalore District, states that a few of the Shek dars of his District fell short of the mark in revenue collection work and that suitable notice was taken of tliem. In the .Shimoga District four Shekdars- are re ported to have been fined for slackness in the~r work, one mor.e had been suspended for 2 months and another had been reverted to his permanent post 'but these l~tter were subsequently reinstated .as no serious irregularities. 'VI·ere disclosed in the enquiries instituted. Out of the :25 New Scheme Shekdars in the K~dur Dis trict 12 are reported to have worked satisfactorily. In the Kolar District nine Shekdars were fined .and two suspended and one who was fourid to )lave :misappro priated a sum of Rs 300 was prosecuted.: -The Deputy Commissioner Shimoga District complains that, many of the new Scheme Shekdars are not conversant with phod work, and tha~ there has been delay ilJ, the sub-division of lands and consequent loss of revenue to Government. He will be requested to suspend them if they ·do not qualify themselves for the w:ork within ~ reasonable time to be fixed by the Deputy Commissioner. · · · · · · . The Dewan has observed in his Tour'Nqpes that no proper. control was befng , exercised by the Amildars and the Sub..:Di~rjsion Officers OVE)r the work of the Shek dars and that the information f~unished in the prese'nt d~aries of Shekdars does not affored any means for a useful . check over their work. With view · to . remedy these defects, proposals have since been submitted to Government for revising the form of the Shekdar's diary and making it a fortnightly retun1. · · The reputation for delay in the _disposal of business, which the Reve~ue Depart- . mont is suffering under is gre~tely due to the unsatisfactory position of this branch· of the service and I think that the pay, status and prospects of this class of officers have to be raised for attrac~ing a better class of men. · - ill. Distrirt, Sub-Division and Taluk Offices.-The Dewan havin()' observed in. th~ course of his inspections that the clerical establishment of the Chitaldrug D1stnct office was capable of retrenchment, proposals were submitted to Govern ment in consultation with the. Deputy Commissioner and as a result four appoin-. ments were ordered to be abolished in Government Order No. R. 5387-7-.L.R. 255- '2'2-98, dated 1st June 19'23. Of these one appointment on 57-4-77 and two on Rs. 25 each have been abolished with_ effect from 1st July 1923 and a fourth has been recommended to be charged to 1\Iunicipal.Funds. The Dewan observed in the case of some other office also that the establishment could be reduced and proposn.Is in respect of each have been called for from the Deputy Commissioners. The question of reducing the menial establishments also of the several Revenue Otlices \Yas under the consideration of Government and in the case of the Hassan Sbimoga and Chitaldrug Districts sanction has since been accorded to their reduction· by 12-! men. This has brought about a saving of Rs. 13,032 pe~ annum. Of the two Sub-Taluks French Rocks and Gudibanda ordered to be abolished in Government Order No. R. 7205-7'266-L.R. 341-21-9 dated 21st June · 1922 the former was abolished with effect from 1st September 192'2, but in IGovern~ent · Rev.

R. 15-22-1 dated 8th September 1922 the· ~laramat Department was abolished in all the District Offices and se!veral of the .officials and Tank Inspectors who were in consequence thrown out of employment were· reabsorbed in the Revenue Department. On account of similar retrenchrrients in the other departments 1nany officials were thrown out of employment and several of them were ordered to be absorbed in the Revenue DepartnJent. In the course of iny inspections in the several District, Sub-Division and Taluk offices it was found that business was greatly in arrears in almost every branch of the Reveime Administration and that the disposal number system was not being pro-perly worked owing partly to the inability of subordinate officials to· understand the rules arid to some exbent to a fe'v inherent defects in the system. As called for by Government, proposals for changing this system and introducina a simpler one in its stead have been submitted with my letter No. C. 501-23-24 dated 3rd October 1923. · 52. · R~venue Commissi01ier's.
