-fare at this particular point,
and as the Kunkhul Bridge which
is situated 2 miles south of the
regulator has been provided for
the [further, struck through] additional convenience of the
towns of Kunkhul and Hurdwar
that further means of cross com-

I do not anticipate the slight-

works or to the community
from the arrangements which
have been adopted in [the, struck through] this case
[of the Myapoor Regulator, struck through].

Again, at the Nanoon Fork,
where the whole traffic between
Caunpoor and Alligurh is car-
-ried over the regulators attached
to the heads of the two terminal
lines, I may observe, that the
use of the regulating appara-

as to cause interruption either
to the works or to the community,
that as the ^bridge roadway is made of
increased width, and the roads themselves
are laid out so as to give the
utmost facility of approach,
there appears to be no reason
why a separate bridge should
have been built at a cost of

of the Grand Trunk Road, whilst
the present regulators which must

experience that the communica-

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.
