Deputy Superintendent's Office: Vita, Sdtd1·a -Dist1·ict, 26th J.lfa?·ch 1887. Sm, I have the honour to submit proposals for the .revision settlement of t thirty-six villages of the Tasgaon T J:i"'hir0 or Inam and which have, from time to time in the last forty years, laps to the British Government. Sixteen villages, which once belonged to the< Soni and 'l'asgaon J :lghirs and eight villages, which were· transferred from t Athni 'l':iluka of the Belgaum ColleCtorate, were originally settled in 1852-: 'l'he settlement was reported on in 1855-55 and was sanctioned by GovernmE letter No. 2228 of 185.7 •.

Bttjri is largely grown in the eas~ern. v!lhlf and is almost exclusively .confined to them. 'l'he total area undo!' rtee 1s l 4 .144 acres .and· distributed amongst 22 villages.

The taluka is well off for roads, the principal of which were impro1 Roads. considerably during the famine period. The S:itn Tasgaon, a second classlocalfund road, enters the talr from the north and joining the Karad-Tasgaon roarl near Turchi, about 5 m north of 'l'asgaon, crosses the Y erla and passes south by Tasgaon thror Chikodi to Belgaum. This is the old Poona-Belgaum road. . The Karad-Tasgaon, a first class local fund road, which carries a he: traffic, has up to this been the outlet for the blluka by Kar!td and Chiplun the coast. The Tasgaon-l\fograla, a third class local fund road, skirting the outly northern villages, connects Tasgaon with the large market towns of Vita : :Mayni. · The 'l'asgaon-Isliimpur, also a third class local fund road, runs west fr Tiisgaon crQ~;sing the Railway at the .Ashta Road Station and ou by Bhilv: to lslampur on the l'eth-Sangli road. . The Kolhapur-Pandharpur road runs tl1rough an outlying portion of t:i.luka in the south and crosses the Sat:~ra-Bijapur road at Nagaj, a village the t:iluka in the norte-east.

The increase under all essential heads is not confined to any particular part. Populat.ion, houses, agricultural cattle and carts have increased consider- ably in all parts of the,.Mluka. · • In the villages of the 7th class the ratio of h01~ses to population is exception ally high. The increase is principally in Nagaj, a village close to the Kolhapur Pandharpur road, and it occurs in the description of houses classed as inferior, a large number of which are in this village occupied by Mahttrs to whom the traffic on the Pandharpur road gives employment. 8 . 28. The figures given in Appendix H. are furnished for Government . . . schools by t.he Educational Departmen~. Those. for Schools, Append•x H. . private schools were collected by the.classmg establish- ment. Of 19 Government schools 18 are for boys and 1 is for girls. In the boys' schools the average attendance is 988. The one girls' school is at T~s gaon and it has an average attendance of 32.

The sublettees paid their rent in advance and thus the full value of the rent paid is somewhat under-estimated in the above calculation. 33. There were 83 cases of mortgage.

'!'he increase in the growth of cotton no d~ubt dates ·from the opening, in 1864, of the Kumbharli P~ss road, which gives an easy outlet to the coast· by way of Karad and Ch1phin. One great disadvantage under which this export at present labours is the want of presses. Cotton is 1oosely packed and loses much in quantity and quality in transit. · 36. .Appendix P is divided i~to 6 parts so ~s to show separately the H" to A di p revenue history of the VIllages comprised in each Reveane 111 ry, ppcu "' • settlement. Of the thirty-six villages of the Tasgaon 9 Taluka twenty-four were settled in 1852-53, eight in 1855-56 and the remaining four between 1857-58 and 1867-68. A vivid description of t~e condition in pre-survey times of the 19 villages Southern Maratha Country whJCh once formed the Soni and Tasgaon Jaghirs Superintendent's Report No. may be found in Colonel Anderson's report on the 318 ofll:l55 in Selections from first settlement of the Tasgaon Taluka. 'l'he de the records of tho Bombay Government, No. XCiV. scription applies also to the villages which have since lapsed to Government. The ~;ate of land assessment under Native rule was pitched at an impossible figure. It was usual to collect only from one-fourth to one-half of the full rates which kept their place in the accounts simply because the threat of their enforcement afford ed a ready means .of coercion, a good deal of the cultivation was the result of actual compulsion ; in fact with the dread of distraint before him the rayat had to acquiesce in the demands of the jagh\rdar and in this way the surplus of years of abundance instead of enriching him went to his master. "His bonds however were seldom tightened beyond the limits of endurance. He was not allowed to become too wealthy, but on the other hand was seldom or never reduc ed below the level of a tolerable subsistence." The change to British rule on the lapse of the Soni and Tasgaon Jaghirs brought no immediate relief to the people. In the absence of trustworthy information our revenue demands were perforce based on the rates shown in the village accounts and the rayats were called upon to pay the full paper value of their holdings. The result was that cultivation, no longer forced, steadily declined. In the Soni villages, although remissions were granted with a most liberal hand, the cultivated area fell by just two-thirds in seven years. In the eleven Tasgaon villages, where. the revenue was more rigi~ly exacted, lands were deeply mortgaged to meet the Government demand. In 1850-51, the last year of the old revenue system, it was calculated that of Rs. 40,373 paid into the Treasury on account of the tht·ee first revenue instalments of that year, no less .than Rs. 19,315 were raised by loans from savkars. The survey was introduced most opportunely. The rates fixed by the · l'lurvey settlement were designedly moderate, so Government Letter No. moderate that they were only sanctioned after some 2228 of 1957, parns. 8 and 9 ·f h in "elections No XCIV demur. The announcement o t e new rates was ~ · · followed by an immediate rise in cultivation. Colonel Anderson in l 865 reviewed the results of his settlement of the 19 villages which in 1852-53 composed the Tasgaon Ta. Memorandum No. 435 of luka. The unoccupied arable waste which in 1853-54 1865 published as an Appen dix to Soloctiollll No. XCIV. stood at 15,111 acres had by 1864-55 dwindled to 986 acres, part of which was land specially reserved from occupation. Subsequent. changes, the transfer of some and the acquisition of other vil lages, have so altered the constitution of the Tasgaon Taluka that the figures of Colonel Anderson's comparison cannot now be traced. The revenue history given in Appendix: P, as furnished by the Mamlatdar, does not give the area of cultivation before the survey settlement, and I have not been able to obtain the fi!J'ures but there is sufficient to show that the progress of the M.luka has been ~!most unchecked since the year of settlement. The famine seems to have pressed lightly on the agricultural classes. There were outstandings of revenue in only two villages, the decrease in cultivation was inconsiderable and was confined to the poorer soils. It will be seen that the variation in the revenue collections has on the whole been slight and that the few remissions recorded are quite insignificant. The returns of realizations from unoccupied assessed lands, as given by the Mamlatdai', vary very considerably. It may be, and I suspect this to be the case that valuble land which was formerly auctioned has been made over to the For;st Department and that disforested land. of litt~e v~lue is ~ow included in the return ; but I have not been able to obtam defimte mformation. »50-3 10 · -- 37.

The number of classes IS due to the fact that the taluka embraces a wide extent of country with a varying climate. The· villages too were settled at intervals between 1852-53, the year in which the main settlement of the taluka took place and 1867-68. The 14 villages in tb.e vicinity of the Krishna are in three cla:sses. Twelve of the original settlement of 1852·53 were rated at Rs. 2. Pundi-Valva settled in 1856-57 and Samdoliin 1862-63 were rated respectively at Rs. 2-2-0 and 'Rs. 2-6-0. All these villages are much on a footing and the higher rates which were found suitable as Pundi-Valva and subsequently Samdoli came to be settled, mark the progress which the taluka had already made during the early years of the survey settlement. Eleven villa""es east of those just indicated were classed together with a maximun rate of Re. 1-12-0, and the remaining villages, 11 in number, which are for the most part outlying in the eastern portion of the taluka, are in 6 classes with maximum rates varying from Re. 1-8-0 to Re. 0-14-0. 39. It is now proposed to divide the villages of the taluka into seven classes, following the main divisions of the former settlement. The classes with the rates proposed for each are here· given. The maximum rate proposed for rice is in all cases that at present in force :- Class I.-Maximum dry-crop rateRs. 2-10-0. Contains one village Samdoli, outlying in the south-west of the taluka, on the Varna River near its junction with the Krishna; About two-thirds of its lands which are infolded by the Varna, are flooded annually. One of tbe richest vil lages of the taluka, 4 miles from the market town of Sangli, -at which is a station of the West Deccan Railway. Present maximum dry-crop rate Rs. 2-6·0. · Class !I.-Thirteen villages. Maximum dry-crop rate· Rs. 2·4·0 ; maximum rice rate Rs. 8-0-0. Situated in the rich plain of the Krishna, having a good climate, within easy reach of several considerable markets. Tasgaon, the principal market of the taluka, is within the group. The West Deccan Railway traverses the group with stations at Sangli-Ashta Road and Kunda! Road. The present maximum dry-crop rate of Pundi Valva is Rs. 2-2.0; of the remaining twelve villages Rs. 2. Glass 111. Three villages. Maximum dry-crop rate Rs. 2-0-0; maxi. ~urn rice rateRs. 8-0-0. Situat~d on the Yerla, a tributary of the Krishna, JUSt east of the northernmost villages of the last group. In a plain country with good markets near at hand and easy communications ; the Railway passes within 6 miles. Present maximum dry-crop rate Re. 1-12-0. Class IV.-Eight villages. :Maximum dry-crop rate Re. 1-14-0; m~i mum rice rate Rs. 8-0-0. East of Tasgaon and in a line running north and south of the taluka. All are within easy distance of the Railway and all except Yerandoli, have the market of Tasf:,780n near to thew. Y e~andoli i~ 10 miles east of the market town of Miraj, which is a station on the West Deccan Railway. Present maximum dry-crop rate Re. 1-12-0. Class V.-Four viJlages. ·Maximum dry-crop rate Re. 1-10-0 · maxi mum rice rateRs. e-0-0. Two, Padli and Dhamni, are 10 miles du~ north of Tasgaon, 4 miles off the Tasgaon-Vita road and 7 from the market town of Vita. Haroli, another village of this class, is outlying, 15 miles south- 11 ~ast ?f Ta~ga?n and. clos~ to the Miraj-Pandharpur road which connects 1t with_ ~lira], 15 m1l?s distant on the Railway. The remaining village,. Jarand1, !~ also outlym.g, s~me .16 miles north-east of Tasgaon, on the ~atara-BIJapur road whwh g1ves 1t easy communication with the neighbour• mg market ?f Khamipur. Its position amongst the hills secures for Jarandi a good ram-fall. · The present maximum dry-crop rate of Jarandi is Re. 1-6-0; of the remaining villages Re. 1-8-0. Cl~ss VI.-Three villages. Maximum dry-crop ·rate Re. 1-6-0; maxi· mum nee rate Rs. 8-0-0. Two, Dongar Soni and Savalaj, lie together 14 miles east of Tasgaon. Sipur, the third village, is in the extreme snn+h of the hiluka, 12 miles east of the market town of Miraj and the Raih, ay. Don gar Soni and Sipur have now a maximum dry-crop rate of Re. 1-4-0 and Savalaj of Re. 1-2-0. Writing of Dongar Soni and Savalaj and of Jarandi of Class V., Mr. Price states : " For rain these villages are the best situated as the hills they are among are sufficiently extensive and high to attract the rain clouds passing ovel' that part of the country. The sure proof of this is some of the smaller milas have water flowing in them throughout the year." Class VII.-Four villages. Maximum dry-crop Re. 1-2-0; maximum rice rate Rs. 8-0-0. Three, Vadgaon, Hingangaon and Karoli, are in a line south of the villages of the last class. They use the adjacent market of Kowte of the Simgli State. In point of communications and climate they are not so well off as the other villages of the ta.luka. Vadgaon and Karoli have a maximum dry-c!'op rate of Re. 1, and Hingangaon of Re. 1-2-0. It is now proposed to extend to Vadgaon, settled in "1 852-53, and to Karoli, settled in 1856-57, the rate now in force in Hingangaon which was settled as late as 1864-65. The fourth village· of this class, Nagaj, is the extreme north-eastern village of the taluka, 25 miles from Tasgaon. It has now a maximum dry-cl'op rate of 14 annas. It is· a flourishing market town situated near the junction of the Satal'a-Bijapur and Kolha pul'-Pandhal'pur roads. As a halting place on a much frequented line of· . road it has sp~cial advantages. 40. By the original Survey there were 8 acres of ~ice recorded of which 5 acres were Government land assessed at Rs. 14 or Rs. 2-12-10 per acl'e. There· are now found to be in all 144 acres, of which the Government· area, 91 acres, will be assessed under the proposed rates at Rs. 136, which is equivalent to an average rate of Rs. 1-7-11 per acre. The method by_ which new rice land has been dealt with is referred to in paragraph 7 above. The garden area recorded by the original survey was 3,092 acres with an assessment of Rs. 8,535, or an average rate per acre of Rs. 2-12-2. Of this area 2,703 acres with an assessment of Rs. 7,474 and an average rate per acre of Rs. 2-12-3 was Goversment land. By revision survey the total area under garden is 6,593 acres with an assessment of Rs. 17,449, or an average rate per acre of Rs. 2-10-4. Of this area. 5,825 acres with an assessment of Rs. 15,437, or an average rate of Rs. 2-10-5 pel' acre, is Government land.

The orders of Government with regard to the asse~~ment of garden land watered by wells have been strictly followed. No additiOnal as~essment on account of irrigation has been imposed on lands under wells whiCh hava been dua during the term of the present settlement, and lands watered by old well~ have been assessed within the maximum dry-crop r~tes.

Su1·vey Superintendent's Office: Camp Pusegaon, 20th Aprill887. SIB, I have the honour to forward a report by Mr. Disney, the Deputy Superin tendent of the Sout.hern :Maratha Country Survey, setting forth proposals for the revision settlement of the 36 Government villages now comprised in the Tasgaon Taluka. '!'he lnam villages as usual will be separately dealt with. The grouping of the villages in this report, and the maximum rates proposed for them, were considered generally by Mr. Stewart while still in charge of the Survey Department, and my remarks will be confined to such points as may seem to need additioQPl comment or explanation. 2. The revision survey operations, both measurement and c1assification, Mr. Disney's paragraphs 2 have been carried out on what is generally described to 6. as the partial system and have departed in no way Revision Survey opera· from the methods employed with the approval of Gov tiona. ernment in all recent revisions. The fiat open nature of most of the Tasgaon villages accounts for the comparatively .small discrepan cies found in the ·old measurement work, though the usual amount of encroach ment on the unassessed area has been brought to light. A small area of dry-crop has.been converted into rice and has been dealt with in the way all along approved by Government for securing the full benefit of the improvement to the culti vator. 3. Much of the soil is unusually rich and is benefited by the flooding of the Krishna. Quite half the cultivated area is devoted to Crops. bulky food-grains and fodder produce, for which the Mr. Disney's paragraphs 8 dense population of the neighbouring country and its to 11. many large towns maintains a steady demand; but valuable produce is raised for export and, amongst the rest, tobacco deserves special notice. The very considerable area which is mentioned ns under this crop has been included under the Miscellaneous head in Appendix B. 4. The figures shown in Appendix C with regard to amount of weekly . , sales have been prepared in the usual way and from Mr. DlSncy s paragraph 15· the nature of the case can be only approximate. But as the figures for l.firaj and Sangli which are outside the taluka are furnished by a separate agency, they can hardly be relied on to afford a true idea of the relative importance of those markets compared with Tasgaon. I speak only from memory, having at different times been at all the three towns in question; but my impression is that .Miraj is a more important market than either of the others, and that Sangli ranks next in importance. It will be seen th: )I 59-13 50 6. The Appendices K, L and M comprise together, it should be observed, . , a complete precis of the transaction~ in la?d registered Mr. D>Sney s paragraph 30. during the last 5 years, all cases m whJCh property other than land was concerned having been carefully eliminated. The value of land is plainly shown to be very high in the village~ under r~port, tho~gh_ it is difficult to prepare exact tables of value from. ma~ermls of ~his sort, winch must in many cases be affected by factors not detailed m the registered deeds. 7. I have for conciseness sake condensed and re-compiled Mr. Disney's statements of prices, (the figures for which were fur Prices. nished as u~ual by the :Mamlatdar), and the result is Mr. Disney's paragraph 35. shown in Appendix N. The figures given show the average prices of different produce in the markets of Tasgaon and Sangli for 8 years before the introduction of the settlement, and during the course of the lease. For the market of S:ingli, however, the details of some years are want ing. The following is a precis of the detailed appendix, and gives a general view of the course of prices for the last 42 years in Tasgaon. Jowari, which is grown for local consumption, and wheat and gram, which are chiefly exported, will be suitable grains to take for example :- A \""BRAG• PlucttS PER RUPEE L~ SERS OF 80 ToLls. Period.

By the figures here shown the exportable grains are seen to have risen in value by upwards of 50 per cent. and jowari by upwards of 70 per cent. since the last 20 years, i.e., since the influence of the American 'Var began to be felt; and though prices have fallen and risen and fallen again since that time, still the avera"'e of the second decade is maintained during the concluding 14 years of the lease7 and prices appear now to be again on the mend. It is important to note here, what will be fully demonstrated by figures later in this report, viz., that it was during the first 10 years of the lease, when prices ruled lowest, that the area of cultivation increased to approximately its present figure, and in so doing absorbed nearly the whole of the available waste land; the expansion in the margin of profit which must be inferred from tbie fact taken in connection with the subsequent rise in prices which bas been just noted, is clearly very great. The prices of cotton are not given in the return, but they will readily be admitted to have doubled in the last 30 years. 'l'be extent of land suitable for cotton is very large in the villages under report, and an increased area will no doubt be devoted to its cultivation in future; Mr. Dis ney would seem to have somewhat underestimated the area formerly grown, as a reference to Colonel Anderson's report shows that it was raised more or Jess in every village. B. Mr. Disney gives an interesting general resume of the revenue history Revenu Histor . of t~e tract. under report_ during t~e period_ preceding . e Y a11d Immediately succeedmg the mtroductiOu of the llr. D lBney's paragraph 36. settlement. Owing to changes in the constitution of 51- the taluka the ·figures of the comparison given by Colonel Anderson in 1865• do not exactly apply to the tract now under discussion, hut the revenue his· tory has ~een now c_ompiled from figures furnished by the Mamlatdar, and will be found m Appendix P. The unusual :value of the realizations from waste during the first 20 years of the lease appears sufficiently explained by the fact mentioned by Colon~! Anderson in the memorandum just referred to, namely, that a large proportiOn of the waste area was land reserved from cultivation owing to its special value as babhul and grass kurans; the subsequent handing over o~ those lands to the Forest Department would explain the diminution in the auction realizations in subsequent years. No explanation is offered by Mr. Disney of the sudden d!fference in t~e collections in Government occupied land for the year 1860-61 m the 24 v1llages whose settlement was made in 1852-53. On this point I have asked for further information which will be sub. mitted. 'l'he unimportant amounts of casual remission, which appear against several early years of the settlement in the same 24 villages, are to be accounted for, it would appear from Colonel Anderson's statement, as service remuner- ation. · 9. The proposed grouping and maximum rates of assessment are carefully Propoeed rates. explaine~ in Mr. Disney's 39th paragraph. In the . , case of villages scattered over a large extent of country, ~Ir. Dtsney • paragraph 39. in which the main factors of assessment, viz., climate and means of communication and proximity to markets, vary much, many differ ent rates of assessment m.ust obviously be employed, and it is difficult without entering into tedious detail to make clear the process by which the varying fac tors have. been weighed one against the other, and the maximum rate for each Government Selections group decided. The general scheme of grouping will XCIV. perhaps be best understood by a reference to para graphs 7 and 8 of the original settlement report, where the country now to be revised is clearly described:- "7. A range of hills running nearly north and south. some eight miles east of the town of Tasgaon, divides the district into two parts. These hills commence in the Satara Col lectorate to the northward; they are of considerable height opposite Tasgaon, hut as they approach the river to the southward the range becomes lower and of a less continuous form. 'The country to the east of the hills is on the whole of a sterile character. Patches of supe I'ior soil there are it is true but they bear small proportion to the quantity of an inferior description. To the west of the hiUs the country improves as it approaches the Krishna. The level plain through which that river everywhere flows is composed of deep alluvial soil of great fertility, continually renovated by the silt deposited by the annual floods. "s. 'l'here is a most marked difference in the climate of the eastern and western extremities of the districts. In the former the fall of rain is both scanty and nncertain. Proceeding westward, however, there is a rapid improvement, which becomes more decided afte1· passing the line of hills mentioned in the preceding paragraph. In the level tract beyond the rains are, as a rule, both sufficient and certain enough for agricultural purposes. Most of the Tasgaon villages are comprised in this last-mentioned tract." The range of hills here alluded to is that a spur of which will be seen in the map in the villages of Jarandi, Dongar Soni, and Sipur, and the rainfall which east ward of this region is somewhat ~canty and .uncertain becomes rapidly. certain and sufficient as the level plain of the Krishna is approached and entered. The advant.ages of road communication and proximity to markets are also greatest in the western villages, growing less towards the east, and owing to this coinci dence the gradation of the maxirnum.rates in that direction has to be strongly marked. In some cases, however, special advantages call for a departure from the regular gradation, as where Jarandi is placed on a par with more western villages by its special rainfall and proximity to tho S:i.Mra-Bijapur road. 10. The remainder of 1II:-. Disney's report sets forth the estimated result of the rates proposed, and as I have nothing to add to what he bas written on tho subject, I will conclude with the hope that you may find yourself able to forward these papers with little delay for the consideration of Government. I have, &c., W. M. FLETCHER, Superintendent, Poona and N:tsik and Southern .Mara&ha Country Revenue Surveys. • Vide Appendix to Government Selection, Vohnne No. XCIV. 52 No. 3086 or 1887. FROM G. F. M. GRANT, EsQUIRE, Acting Collector of S:it:ira ; To THE COMMISSIONER or SURVEY AND SETTLEMENT. Satcim, 31st lllay 1887. SIR, I have the honour to forward, with its accompaniments, a report by Mr. Disney, Deputy Superintend~n~ of the Southern Maratha Country ~urvey, setting forth propo~als for t.h_e rev1s10n s~ttl?me_nt of the 36 Government v!llag.es, comprised in the Tasgaon Taluka of th1s distriCt, and a letter from the Superm tendent of the same survey, making observations on the report. 2. I regret that, owing chiefly to the J amabandi operations being some what prolonged by the intr?duction of new for~s of !'illage accounts, I was unable, during the late tourmg season, to remam long m the Tasgaon T:iluka, and so personally acquaint myself with its features, and the condition of its cultivators, but Mr. Stewart's acquaintance with the district will, no doubt, render this of less importance. 3. Re-measurement and re-classification were carried out on the system approved. The area under rice is small, but that of bagait, which was consider able at the time of the original survey, has more than doubled, which is, no doubt, correctly attributed by Mr. Disney to the extended adoption of a simple and inexpensive method of irrigation. 4. The distinction, as regards physical features, bet1veen the north-east and south-west portions of the tiluka, and the inferiority, in respect of soil, of the former, is apparent on very short obsilrvation. 5. . Mr. Disney bas very clearly set forth the facts connected with crops, cultivation, roads, and the railway. I agree with him that T:isgaon ranks as the most important market connected with the t:iluka, though he later on de scribes 1.1iraj as about equal in importance. The Krishna river separates most of the villages from markets in the Valva Taluka, and those of Vita and Khan:ipur are of little importance. . 6. It is probable that the railway will greatly diminish the carrying trade referred to in paragraph 24 of the report. 7. The figures given in paragraphs 30, 31, 32 and 33, are very remarkable• and certainly seem to justify the doubts expressed in paragraphs 7, 8 and 9 of Government letter ~o. 2228 of 1857 (selections from records, No. XCIV) as to whether the reductiOn of assessment effected 11t the original survey of some of these villages was not greater than the circumstances called for. 8. The railway may lead to increased production of cotton and wheat but I sholl:ld not give much 'weight to this possibility. As 1\lr. Disney obs~rves, there IS alrea~y an easy outlet to the coast by way of Karad and Chiplun, which has greatly sumulated the growth of cotton. 9. Mr. Disney's account of the revenue history of the taluka is full and interesting. His explanation of the variance in returnR of realizations from un occupied assessed lands (end of paragraph 36} is probably correct. Much valuable land of .the. kind referred to h~s been. made over to the Forest Department in many d1stncts, and probably w1thout d1sadvantage to the State. By disforested lands I presume Mr. Disney means land not included in forest. 10. According to Mr. Disney's proposals, the number of classes is reduced from 10 to 7. The main division of the former settlement is however practi cally followed, as. two of the ori~.nal classes only came into e~istence, ~wing to the settlement bemg effected at d!IIerent times. 53 11. Class !--Contains a single village, Sumdoli, originally settled in 1862-63, w_he!l It w~s rated at ~s. 2-6-0, or 6 annas higher than 12 villages, so~ewhat stm.tlarly Situated, which were settled in 1852-53. It is proposed to raise the maximum dry-crop rate to Rs. 2-10-0-a rise of 4 annas. Class If-Comprises 13 villages very favourably situated, with good soil and climate, in which, with one exception, a rise of 4 annas is also proposed. For Pundi-Valva, the rise is 2 annas only, but it was settled four years later than the others, but for which it would, no doubt, have been put in the same class. Petitions have been received, on notification, from two villages in this class, viz., Palus and Bisur, and these will be separately reported on. Class III.-Comprises three villages favourably situated. One village (Turchi) has petitioned against the new rates : a rise of 4 annas is proposed. ClassJV.-Comprises eight villages fairly situated but east of Tasgaon. It is proposed to raise the maximum dry-crop rate by 2 annas. Class V.-Four villages more or less outlying. Proposed rise for 3 villages, 2 annas, for the fourth, 4 annas. Class VI.-Three outlying villages. Proposed rise, as for Class V. Class VII.-Four villages unfavourably situated as regards climate and communications. Rise in two villages of 2 annas, in one of 4 annas. For one village, Hingangaon, settled in 1861-65, the rate remains as before, that in the others being raised to it, 12. New rice cultivation has been assessed on a method approved by Government. Under the original survey only 8 acres were recorded and there are now only 144. 13. In dealing with bagait watered by wells, the rules laid down by Gov. ernment ha>e been observed, additional rates having been imposed only where the circumstances justify that course. 14. The largest percentage of increase of revenue occurs in Classes II and V. '!'be former comprises a large group of flourishing villages, and in the other, there has been a large extension of patasthal cultivation. 15. Having, as I have already observed, no intimate knowledge of the taluka and its population, I can only offer my opinion on the proposals on very general considerations. I have already referred to the figures given in para graphs 30, 31, 32 and 33 which certainly tend to show that the State, under the existing settlement, hardly gets a fair return in the shape of rent. I may also refer to those given in paragraph 37 as showing the case with which collections have been made. The extension of patasthal and bagait cultivation generally is also a sign that existing rates have been such as to enable the cultivators gener• ally to derive ample profits from their holdings, and, as Mr. Disney observes, they have in many instances enjoyed for years without charge water privileges which should legitimately yield the landlord some return. Moreover communi cations have been improved and extended, and a railway has been opened, which will benefit the taluka, and especilllly the western portion in a great degree. 16. Differences of soil and climate, and all other points bearing on the question of fair rent seem to have been most carefully considered by Mr. Disney, antl, as above remarked, SQme of the facts adduced seem to me to show that too great n reduction was made at the time of the original survey. Writing of the proposals as a whole, and subject to any modification which rna~ be suggested on considering petitions preferred, I am of opinion that they err, if at all, on the side of leniency. 17. I would at the same time propose for consideration whether the village of Jarandi in Class V, which bas only easy access to the small market of Khanapur, might not be put in a separate class with a maximum . dry-c~op ~a~e of Rs. 1-8-0. It is at present 2 nnnas under the other villages With which It IS proposed to class it. Although Dongarsoni and Savlaj lie close together, the maximum dry-crop rate in the latter is now 2 annas less t~al?" t~e former, and I would like to know the reason of this, and whether the dtstmction should not B 59-14 54 be maintained by putti~g Savlaj into a spe~ial class. of Rs. 1_-4-0. An increase in the number of classes is not attended Wlth any mconven1ence, 11nd Class I, under the proposals, contains only one viiiage. 18. The accompanying memorandum No. 535, dated 22nd Aprill887, and statement received from Mr. Fletcher, being 8. correction for insertion in Ap· pendix P, Part I of the report, may be read in connection with the remark made towards the end of paragraph 8 of his No. 505, dated 20th ultimo. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, G. F •. M. GRANT, Acting Coiiector. No. 978D OF 1887. FRO:ll E. C. OZANNE, EsQUIRE, Acting Survey and Settlement Commissioner ; To THE SECRETARY TO GOVERNMENT, Revenue Department. Poona, Srd June 1887. Srn, I have the honour to submit the proposals for the revision of the T1isgaon Taluka. This is the first revision settlement of the Satara District. The Tasgaon Taluka was transferred from Belgaum on the 1st August 1863. As now con stituted it contains 36 Government viiiages. A nucleus was formed out of the old Soni and Tasgaon Jaghlrs which lapsed in 1845 and 1848, and eight out lying villages of the Athni Taluka were incorporated at the redistribution following the original settlement of Athni. Additions have been made from time to time as other imim villages lapsed to Government. The taluka is straggling and much cut up with intervening tracts of Miraj and Sangli territory and thus presents considerable variations in soil and climate. As a whole it enjoys a surer rainfall than its neighbour Athni, where, however, a gradual amelioration of climate, as it affects agriculture, was noticed in the west and north-west. This improvement goes on in Tasgaon, becoming rapid after the range of hills has been passed, which forms the western boundary of the village of Savlaj and runs south, When the Krishna valley is reached, the rainfall is fairly sure and a special measure of protection from the fertilizing floods of that river is enjoyed. These floods are not dependent on local rainfall. Moreover, away from the Krishna, nearly every village has more or less the benefit of command of water for irrigation available either by wells or by channels trained from the numerous streams which flow from the hills and meet the Krishna and its tributary the Yerala. Much foresight was shown at the original settlement in the manner in which these special means of protection against the deficiency of rainfall were fostered. The full measure of success may be judged from the increase in both motasthal a~d patasthal irrigation:- Old. New. Total. Acres. Acres. Acres. Motastbal ...... 1,538 1,932 3,470 Patasthal ...... 1,165 1,190 2,355 ----- Total ... 2,703 3,122 5,825 55 There are in addition 768 acres of patasthal and motasthal in alienated land. Village. Area, With this must be considered the area protected · Samdoli 2,835 Pundi 284 Bnrli 869 by the Krishna floods, shown in the margin, and a Amnapnr 160 Nngtan 319 small area, perhaps 300 acres, in the villages of Burli Akalkop 479 Bhilvadi ,,965 Ankli 609 and Pundi, which are irrigated from the Krishna Total ... 10,520 Canaf. On the whole about 12 per cent. of the cultivable area (.Appendix Q., colu~n 17) is ensured against any general failure of crops. There can be little doubt that the comparative ease with which Tasgaon, ~hough then without a railway to bring in supplies and keep down prices of food ~rains, passed through the ordeal of 1876, was due to these special features. 2. The Mamletdar, who has had several years' experience of the taluka, is convinced that the area of patasthal will be very largely increased as soon as the revision settlement is introduced. The rayats, who have made patasthal during the currency of the existing lease, have till now paid no water charge and think that new patasthal will be similarly dealt with till the expiry of the guarantee about to be given, I am far from advocating any course which would operate as a check to the extension of the garden area, especially in a tract of precarious rainfall. But as patasthal is assessed under Section 55 of the Land Revenue Code and as Gover:qment in promulgating the terms of the guarantee reserves the right to impose a charge for the use of water, the right to which vests in Government, and lastly as no reclassification in the field is intended on the expiry of future leases, it seems advisable that the .Agricultural Depfl.rtment should be charged with the duty of valuing and classing new patasthal from time to time as it is made. .A. fair charge on such irrigation will not check it and it is essential that the administrative authorities should keep themselves well in formed of all extension, both in the interests of the revenue and of the people; for new patasthal should not be allowed which will injuriously affect the water supply of lands already assessed for channel water and which have clearly on that account a prior right to an adequate supply. 3. The irregularity of the rainfall is very noticeable. It is characterized oftener by unusually heavy than by deficient falls. Owing to the splendid natural drainage of the uHuka excessive falls do little injury and what little is done is made up for by the replenishment of the supply to the wells and streams. To this irregularity must be attributed partly the unusual variety of crops which are grown. There is no feature in the cultivation of the Indian rayat.more striking and more admirable than the empirical skill with which he adapts his cropping to the conditions of the season. I have noticed this skill in my anTicultural enquiries. It has special scope for display in tracts such as Tasg~on where irregularity rather than normal deficiency is experienced in the amount of rainfall. This irregularity may be judged from the following abstract taken from the Gazetteer :- Yean. Duration. Average. Range. ------·------·1------Years. Inches. Inches. 1862-63 to 1869-70 8 23 13 to 34 1870-71 to 1882-83 13 26 7 to 47 The following analysis of the rainfall for the cycle of 11 :years prepared by the Director of .Agriculture, showing the distribution of the ramfall of Tasgaon, will further bring out the features most important to the present proposals :- 56 ·Tasgaon Rainfall. 1 y.,.., January. February. Yarcll. April. llay. June. July. August. SepWmbcr 0dobcr. November December TobJ. ---1---1----1------ . 4. Like Athni, Tasgaon, except in the Krishna valley, has a light soil not very productive and rated low, but relieved in numerous low-lying spots between the undulations of the country by rich patches of black soil. This characteristic is described at length in Mr. Stewart's report on the Athni settlement, to which report I may also refer for a full description of the value of the annual floodings of the Krishna. Tasgaon is vastly superior in communications to Athni. 'I.' he railway will very shortly be added to the already numerous facilities for the disposal of surplus produce. The railway will develop the undoubted capability of the taluka to grow crops most in demand in foreign markets, though, as Mr. Fletcher says, the dense population and the large demand for fodder will always keep the area of jowari cultivation hrge. Still there is ample scope for more extensive growth of wheat, cotton and tobacco. '!.'hough as yet Tasgaon has. only 5 per cent. of its area. under cotton, it grows half the cotton of the Sitara District. In the years of the American War the area. under cotton doubled. Wheat is only grown in 2 per cent. of the aren. ·Its area must increase. The only outlet for wheat and cotton now is the distant port of Karw:lr. It seems very certain that the railway will cause much modification of present cultivation and probably a considerable rise in prices. 5. The proposals which are presented to Government recommend an increase of 28 per ce~;~t. on the present revenue demand. l\Ir. Fletcher strongly supports them and I unreservedly concur in thinking that the proposed enhance ment is very moderate and fully justified. The Collector considers that the pro. posed increase will err, if at all, on the side of leniency. I would first analyse the figures of Appendix Q thus :- Dry-orop. I Garden and Rice. I Toto!. Area. Assessment. Area. Assessment Area. Assessment. --- Acres. Rs. Acres. Rs. Acres. Rs. E:dsting demand ... 111,7!)!) 96,036 2,708 7,4R8 114,507 1,03,.5~4 Proposed ... 111,792 1,17,015 5,916 15,5i3 117,708 " 1,:32,588 Increase ... -7 +20,979 +3,208 +8,085 +3,201 +29,06-1. Increase per cent ...... +21'8 +118 +108 +2•7 +28·1 Bearing in mind that new garden and new rice land have been assessed strictly according to the injunctions of Government, which leave unassessed the increment assignable to improvements from private capital, the analysis shows that over 7 per cent. of the total increase is due to increased garden and rice cultivation. The area assessed is larger by 2·7 · per cent. than that assessed under the former survey. The increase is due in part to a more careful deduc tion of pot kharab and to the assessment of hill lands left unassessed before. The land which comes under the influence of the Krishna floods has been taxed for its special advantages, till now not taken into count. The large area of new 57 patasth~l might with justi~e.be eliminated from the enhancement, for it is in no way an· mcrease due to revtswn of old rates. If all these facts are weio-hed it will be evident (1) that the enhancement due to revision of old rates is0 not so large as the figures of Appendix: Q. indicate; (2) that a truer valuation has been made; and (3) that soils which a.re not except!onal, and which are not protected, are not ~ailed on to pay an enhanced rent, whrch can bear any comparison to the average mcrease proposed. 6. The revised demand is justified- ( I) by the material progress made during the current settlement ; (2) by the proof t.hat this settlement was in itself moderate;. · (3) by the rise in prices over those on which the present rates were based. I will discuss each of these heads in turn. 7. Matm·ial P1·og1·e.~s.-lmproved communications have already been no ticed. Population has increaRed 28·5 per cent. but the cultivated area has also increased by 25·M per cent. (I include imim land, for it cannot be excluded from this comparison). It will be noticed too that the increase of valuable garden and rice land is not less than that of the area of land now assessed for the first time. There were and there now are just 1·9 acres of occupied (and inim) land per head of population. Here again the l:trge increase of the more valuable de scription of land is an important factor. Increase of cultivation has thus fully kept pace with that of population. · The incidence of assessment {including quit-rent) per head of population is next shown :- Rs. a. p. At introduction of expiring settlement ... 1 8 9 :u close , ,1 ... 1 8 11 , revised rates now proposed ... 1 15 4 There are now only 5,293 acres assessed at Rs. 1, 783, or· 5 annas per acre, avail. able for occupation. 'l'his is a small margin ancl it shows that the question of increase of population will be of far more importance at the next revision of rates than it now is. Agricultural stock have increased by 43·5 per cent., but there is a corrfl· sponding large decrease of other cattle. 'l'he figures are not very trustworthy and I would refer to the enquiry lately made by the Collector of Belgaum in handing up the proposals for the revision of the Belgaum Taluka. Setting aside the general untrustworthiness of the annual village census, whicl} was greater 30 years ago than now, it is manifest that the absorption of waste land by culti vation must tend to reduce the numher- of cattle useful only for their manure. It is enough that the present supply is sufficient for the cultivatien. 'J'he increase in sheep and goats, taken into count with the decrease of waste land, is t;ure proof of·moro careful cultivation. It is a sign that they are being more used as an adjunct to arable farming. There is other evidence that, especially for tobacco and sugarcane, the value of sheep-folding on the laud is well appre ciated. The next step in progress will be to feed and not only fold the sheep on the land. Carts have greatly incre.ased-a sign of material progress not requiring comment, except that though temporary disturbance to the Ctll'l'ying trade to the Konkan will be caused by the advent of the railway, it would be against all ex perience to presume that increased short traffic to the railway will not soon more than recoup the owners of carts and induce others to keep carts. The increase of wells and budkis must be considered wit.h the details of Appemlix J. During the lease 903 wells,. and 52 pakka an? 56 ka~ha bllldkis have boen made. 'l'his gives a total of l,Oll as contrast~d w_1t~ a n_et mcre~s.e _of 938. Here is abundant evidence that the mode of assessmg rrr1gatwnal facilities has been very far from deterring the rayats from thus adding to their profits. The liberal treatment of new wells will add more than proportionate encourage ment. It must be noticed that this increase has been secured in spite of the abandon-ment of wells in places where ptttasthal irrigation proved more profit· 11-59-15 58 able. The increase of pitasthal irrigation is also an independent item in the list of proofs of material progress. There is very little to be said on the other side. The small weaving in dustry may suffer when it ~ames into competition with the Bombay mills. 8. Moderation of existing demand.- The record of leases, mortgages and sales of land, as Mr. Disney justly observes, gives ample proof of moderation. Appendices K., L.and M. give a CO?Jplete ~ecord for 5 years. A v~ry small amount of indebtedness and at the same tune a lngh value of land are dtsclosed. Appendix P. proves that even in the famine year remissions were not neces sary, for if they had been necessary and yet not granted the outstanding balances would indicate the necessity, which they do not. Many of the points noted under the head of material progress may also be adduced to show what never theless is otherwise patent, that the present rental is exceedingly moderate. It has encouraged industry and the outlay of capital and has allowed an accumula tion of material wealth. 9. Prices have been recorded with unusual fulness of detail and have been very ably discussed by 1\lr. Fletcher. There is sufficient agreement between the • figures at the different marts to prove a fair standard of accuracy in t.he record. The differences are not greater than must occur in a tract as yet unopened by railways. Further comment is not called for, except that the rise leaves a large margin to the cultivator even after the addition of the increment imposed by the enhanced demand. 10. As regards the grouping of villages it may be stated generally that the original grouping made by Colonel Andet·son has been maintained. '!'he only important departure is the division into two groups (Classes III. and IV.) of the villages formerly under a maximum rate of Rs. 1-12-0. In three of these vil lages Mr. Disney bas judged that a rise of 4 annas is justified, but only of 2 annas in the rest. The three villages concerned are better placed than the others both as regards certainty of rainfall and proximity to the railway. It will be seen that the only modification suggested by the .Collector is that Jarandi should be lowered from the 5th to the 6th Class. I fully agree with the Collector and would further similarly deal with Haroli and Yerandoli. 1\fr. Disney, with whom I have specially discussed the matter and who is responsible for the grouping as shown in Appendix Q., bas no objection to the proposal to lower Jarandi and Haroli. The former was settled in 1867-CS, since when there bas been no rise in prices. Its natural position is with Class VI. If it had been settled earlier the maximum rate would have been certainly not higher than that of Dongar Soni. Its position in the hills makes its rainfall more certain than that of the villages of the lowest class. Tho Collector does not mention Haroli especially. But its natural position is with Dongar Soni and Savlaj and the :Mamlatd:ir strongly urges the tmnsfor·, which I think requisite. Yerandoli adjoins Sipur of Class VI. Colonel Anderson made a difference of 8 annas in the maximum rate between them. In point of situation, rainfall and markets they are identically circumstanced. Yerandoli has the advantage of a considerable area of pit:tsthal and. a few industrious Jain cultivators. Either then Colonel Anderson gave special weight to the facilities it possesses to provide protective and remunerative garden land or the diffei'Once between it and Sipur was due to former inequalities. 'rhe 1\f;lmlatdir snys that Yerandoli is a poor village. It was the village which showed lon"'ost the effects of the famine and was with one other-probably Vadgaon, the only village where revenue was lost. I propose then to place Yerandoli in Class V. with Padli and Dharnni at a maximum of Rs. 1-10-0 instead of Rs. 1-14-0, thus lower ing its rate by 2 annas instead of raising it by 2 annas. '!'he financial rosult of these modifications is insignificant. l\lt·. Disney is willing to lower Padli nnd Dhamni aB they are hill villages with some diHudvantugos of communications and will at first feel the heavy increase duo solely to the assessment now for the first time of the p:itastlml area. I was at first inclined to propose this modifica tion but do not think it necessary. Padli and Dhamni are already eiiLHscd below their neigiJbour llatnoli and theit· dry-crop area is as~:~ossod at a lowor rnto than that fixed 36 years ago. '!'he Collector desires that tho difforenco made by Colonel Andorsnn bnl.woon Savlaj and Don gar Soni shoul Mr. Disney,deserves c~edit ~or the carefulness o.f his grouping which may be accepted w1th the modifications recommended, VLZ., that Yerandoli, Haroli and Jarandi be each lowered one class, The estimated revenue under the revision proposals will be then Rs. 1,31,810, or an increase of 27'3 instead of 28·1 per cent, as shown in Appendix Q, 11. I append a statement showing the detail of the irrigated area of Government land, commanded by wells and channels. The separation is only approximate, because in many cases both sources are combined. I think this detail necessary as the importance of the subject in Tasgaon cannot be over rated:- MOTA.sm.&.r.. P.LTAB...... X.: Number. Names of VUI•geo. Area. I Asacaament. Area. I Aeaessment.

I have the honour to ask for sanction to the introduction of the rates now proposed for a period of 30 years. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient Servant, E. C. OZANNE, Acting Survey and Sottloment Commissioner. Tnnouorr TliE CoMMISSIONER, C. D. 60 No. R. 2566 OF 1887. FRO:II ARTHUR CRAWFORD, EsQuiRE, Commissioner, C.

These 36 villages were brought under the original survey settlement at different times between the years 1852-53 and 1867-68. Twenty-six villages were originally held by the Tasgaon Chief and lapsed from time to time ; nine were transferred from the Atl.ni T:iluka of the Belgaum District, and one from Valva Taluka of the S:itara District. 3. The physical features of the country. brought under the revision opera tions and its climatic conditions and situation as to rainfall are fully described in para!ITaphs 9 and 10 of Mr. Disney's report. The rainfall is anything but redar, and the irregularity, as observed by :Mr. Ozanne, lies on the side of ex~ss. Fourteen of the 36 villages forming the first and the second groups being drained by the Krishna enjoy a practical immunity from drought and scarcity. 4. The chief crops raised in the tract under notice are jow:iri, bajri, wheat and rice. Cotton is also grown to a small extent, and there is e\·ery chance of its cultivation being extended in view of the facilities of conununica tion likely to be afforded by the West Deccan Railway. 5. Communication is already easy owing to the flat nature of the country, and the Railway shortly to be opened will immetlsely aad to these facilities. 6. The statistics supplied by Mr. Disney with regard to the development of cultivation during the term of the expiring lease-the marked increase in population, houses and .cattle, the facility with which the revenue has been collected year after. year, the. striking self-relian~e with which the ~1~op_le '~cro a:ble to defY ~he famme of 1876 and to rally after 1t-are each and a! mdteatwns of the growing prosperity of the taluka and prove that the rates imposed at the original survey settlement erred on the side of modemtion. 7. Mr. Disney's grouping is generally, baHcd on the lines adopted by Colonel Anderson at the original survey settlement, and the increase in the maximum dry-crop rate of each group proposed by him is moderate. The Collec tor objects to the village of" Jarandi" being induded in class V., for which a maximum dry-crop rate of Rs. 1-10-0 is proposed, and would have it put under an intermediate class between groups V. and VI., for whieh he would propose a rate of Hs. 1-8-0. Mr. Ozanne, on the other hand, goes further and would reduce; besides "Jarandi ", two other villagcH, .viz.," Haroli" and" Y crandoli", each a class lower. The proposals of the different officers will' be apparent fro!ll the subjoined table :- 61 Prc!fent Dry· Rate Rate Rate Serial Number.

Mr. Ozanne's proposals amount in the case of "Jarandi" to a preserva tion of the status quo ante and in the case of the other two villages t.o a retrograde movement aR tending to lower the rates t.hat have been actually levied for years past. l'llr. Ozanne states that he discusst>d his proposed modifications with Mr. Disney and that the latter does not object to them. - · 9. The considerations which influence the classification of groups are so numero1_1s, intricate and minute that unless the points which differentiate one village from another are really striking, it is impossible to declare with certainty that a given village ought to be included in a given class and not in a class either higher or lower. When the lines of difference are not vividly marked, arguments may easily be found on both sides, and it is useless discussing them with any hope of arriving at a Ratisfactory result. I cannot therefore record any opinion as to the abstract correctnes8 of Mr. Disney's original classification or the modifications proposed by Mr. Ozanne. I can however assert that the suggestion to reduce rates that have been actually in force for a number of years, and against which there has been apparently no complaint, is questionable and, I mny add, even unintelligible. I do not therefore agree with Mr. Ozanne that the rates in "Haroli" and "Yerandoli" should be lowered a class. 10. With regard to "Jarandi" also I cannot persuade myself that· the village bas been stagnating during the whole period of our original settlement and that it bas not participated more or less in the general prosperity of the taluka. A moderate increase over the present rate would be perfectly warranted, and I can see no reason for treating it exceptionally as Mr. Grant proposes. 11. The papers have been carefully prepared and reviewed by the several officers through whose hands they have passed, and with the above remarks I submit the proposals, the net result of which is an increase of Rs. 29,064-0-0 over th.e present assessments, for the approval and sanction of Government.

RESOLUTIO:S.-These papers contain proposals for the revision settlement of the 36 Government villages included in the T(Lsgaon T:iluka. of Sat:\ra. The original settlement of 24 of these villages was effected in 1852-53 and sanctioned by Government letter No. 2228 of 1857. Of the remainder, being villages formerly held in in:im which la.psP.d to Government, for the settlement of which no formal sanction was separately given, 8 were settled in 1856-57 and 4 between 1857-58 and 1867-68. 2. The system of partial remP.asurement and partial reclassification has been adopted and the methods employed have differed in no way from those hitherto approved by Government. The total area of the villages by the revi sion survey is almost the same as that previously recorded, but garden culti vation, especially patasthal, has much increased since the original settlement. The soil classification of dry-crop converted into rice has, where it exceeded the old classification, been reduced, and the course adopted at the re,·ision settlement of the Bankapur Taluka has been followed in ass6ssing the water advantages of rice land. 3. Mr. Disney has given a very full and careful account of the present condition of the taluka. An increase of t.he present assessment is recommended on the grounds that that assessment is very low, that the material improvement of the villages since their original settlement is marked, and that there has been a large rise in the prices of agricultural produce •. 4< As regards the first point the high value of land, shown by the records of sales, mortgages and leases effected between 1881 and 18S.j, is most notice able, and, as pointed out by the .Acting Collector of S:it:ira, seems to justify the doubt expressed by Government in their letter No. 2228 of 1857 as to whether the reduction of assessment therein sanctioned was not greater than the circum stances called for. These papers also ehow that there was a rapid and con tinued increase in the cultivated area after the introduction of the original settle ment, and that the full assessment under that settlement has almost invariably been levied punctually and without difficulty. • 5. As regards material improvement the very detailed statistics now sub mitted show that a marked increase, not confined to any particular part of the taluka, has taken place in population, houses, and all the more important elements of agric•1ltural wealth except milch-cattle, a decrease in which is suffi ciently explained by the fact that much of t.he area formerly available for graz ing has now been brought under cultivation. The fact that carts are now more than six times as numerous as when the original settlement was introduced 63 shows how ready cultivators have been to·take advantage of the improvements effected in communications; and the opening of the West Deccan Railway, which now traverses the t:Uuka, cannot but prove an additional benefit to them. An increase of wells by 81·1 per cent. is evidence that their construction has been encouraged, and the large increase in patasthal irrigation also affords proof of material progress. . 6. Mr. Fletcher has concisely discussed the question of prices, and has shown that since the first decade of the settlement, during which prices were considerably higher than in the previous eight years, a rise of upwards of 70 per cent. for jowari, and 50 per cent. for wheat and gram, has taken place. It is specially important, moreover, to notice that it was during the first ten years of the lease, when prices were lowest, that the area of cultivation increased to approximately its present figure, and absorbed most of the waste land. This rise of prices shows clearly that a considerable margin will be left to cultivators · even after their assessment is increased by 28'1 per cent. as now recommended . .7. It-is satisfactory to learn that Mr. T. H. Stewart was able to consider generally the formation of assessment groups and the maximum rates for each before handing over charge of the office,of Survey and Settlement Commissioner. - It is now proposed, as regards the former, to follow the main divisions of the former set~lement, but to diminish the number of groups from 10 to 7. The present rice maximum rate will be preserved in each, but the dry-crop rate will in one village remain unchanged, and will be raised in 16 by 2 annas and in 19 "'y 4 annas. 8. l\Ir •. Disney's proposals for grouping the villages are supported by· Mr. Fletcher, and also, with the exception of Jarandi village, by the Collector. tfr. Ozanne, Acting Survey and Settlement CommiRsioner, recommends modi fications in the case of Jarandi, Haroliand Yarandoli: but the Commissioner, C. D., thinks that no such modifications are called for. 9. l\Ir. Ozanne is not so clear as is desirable in his proposed modifications of the grouping of the villages of Jarandi, Yarandoli and Haroli. As regards the first he remarks:-" The only modification suggested by the Collector is that Jarandi should be lowered from the fifth to the sixth class. I fully agree with the Collector, and would further similarly deal with Haroli and Yarandoli." The modification suggested by the Collector is not that Jarandi should be reduced from the fifth class- (maximum rate Rs. 1-10-0) to the sixth (maximum rate Rs. 1-6-0), but that it should be placed in a separate class by itself with a maxi mum rate of Rs. 1-8-0. Mr. Ozanne's proposal i$ that it should be in Class VI., with the maximum rate of Rs. 1-6-0. By dealing" similarly" with Yarandoli, which is in Class IV., (maximum Rs. 1-14-0,) and Haroli, Class V. (maximum Rs. 1-10-0,) it is not clear whether he means to lower each of them 2 annas or by a class each, while he also appears to have mixed up existing with pro posed rates. By placing Yarandoli in Class V. he would lower its existing rate of Rs. 1-12-0 to one of Rs. 1-10-0, while by placing Haroli in Class VI. he would lower its existing rate from Rs. 1-8-0 toRs. 1-6-0. There appears to be no sufficient reason why rates which have been in force for many years, and have ordinarily been paid without difficulty in these two villages, should now be lowered, nor does the Governor in Council consider that sufficient cause has been shown for reducing the proposed rate in Jarandi, which will_raise the assess- ment only 20 per cent. · 10. As the result of the imposition of the rates now proposed, the assess ment on Government occupied land, which is now Rs. 1,03,524, will be increased by Rs.. 29,064 or by 28'1 per cent. ~he inc.rease is slightly above the prescribed limit in the fifth class and also m the village of Padli, bJlt the cause is in each case sufficiently explained. 11. In consequence of the notification published in accordance with Govern ment Resolution No. 7447, dated 21st October 1886, petitions against the new rates were submitted to the Collector by the villagers of Palus, Bisur and Turchi None of these petitions have been forwarded to Gov.ernment, and as regards that from Turchi the Collector should be asked to e:xplam what has been done. 64 The petitions from Palus and Bisur were due to a misapprehension as to the meaning of the published rates. 12. Mr. Disney's proposals are sanctioned, and the rates may be introduced in the current year with a guarantee for thirty years. J. DEC. ATKIXS, Under Secretary to Government. To The Commissioner, C.
