have a mate, and be subjected to
the same discipline and en-
-trusted with the same duties
as are laid down for the es-

Myapoor and Dhunouri Regu-

the directo's rules and regulations
printed in English, Hindi and
Oordoo, should be hung up in
the public buildings and
posted in conspicuous situations.

over the Solani Aqueduct requires
modification, either the sluices
of the Myapoor or Dhunouri
Dam are put in requisition.
