canal lies on the high road between
the town of Saharunpoor and the
Timli pass which is the main
western gate through the Sewaliks
into the Himalayas; it connects
Saharunpoor also with the towns
of Behut and Raipoor two of
the chief police stations of the
district. The traffic over this
bridge although less than that
which passes over the Ganges
Canal at bridges similarly
situated is considerable; yet
the only inconvenience that has
been experienced is in the petty
pilfering of iron from the
sleepers and windlass apparatus;
the more probable objections of
the working of the machinery
being interfered with by the
consistent passage of men and
cattle across the roadway have
not been realized. On the Ganges
Canal Works including the
two regulators of the 1st section
of this chapter, there are six
points at which bridges [to which, struck through] having
machinery for regulating [is, struck through] the
[attached, struck through] supply, are used for the public
convenience; of these the Myapoor
Regulator and those crossing the
terminal lines at Nanoon,
are the most prominently con-
-nected with extensive thorough-
-fares.

The Myapoor Bridge is
the main connecting link
between the towns of Hurdwar
and Kunkhul, and during
the annual fairs is literally
not only crowded with people,
but is traversed by a continued
stream of equipages. At this
point

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
