The bridge which lies at
a distance of 1 1/2 miles or thereabouts
from the town of Khoorja, acts
as the main line of communica-
-tion between that town and the
country on the left bank of the
East Kalli Nuddi. Between the
bridge and the escape head, and
in the centre of an esplanade is
a 1st class choki building;
the works are considerable in ex-
-tent, and will I think be found
to be conveniently situated.
The design of the head differs
in detail from that of the works
before described. As built on the
left or road side of the canal,
and consequently an unbroken
passage along the berm. In this
region of the works, moreover, the
quantity of earth excavated from
the channel did not necissitate
the raising of the embankments
to an immoderate height, leading
to the deformity which exists more
or less on the whole tract extending
from Myapoor to the 110th mile
at Moonda Khera the section
both in berms and esplanades
is equably formed, and the earth-
-work is altogether of a more com-
-pact description, and of a more
uniform character than it is in
the upper districts. The above ad-
-vantages added to the towing path
arrangements have as I said
before led to modifications of
the plan before described. The
sluices 10 in number and each
of them 6 feet in width are arched
over, both on the full width of
