A. H. E. Boileatj, Superintefiding Engineer^ Central Provinces, No, 3562, dated Allahabad, ist March 1849, to the address of J. MuiR, Esq., C. S., Secretary Local Qommittee, Azimgurh. Paragraph 2. — Mr. Martin is, I think, quite right in stating that the kunkar laid upon your roads has heen imperfectly consolidated, and should have been well rammed when first laid down ; for though considerable traffic of iron-bound cart wheels might improve the metalling in this respect, if the tires were not ...too narrow, yet the continual transit of irregularly-shaped wooden wheels (which are so soft that the points of the fragments of kunkur penetrate and disfigure them), causes mutual injury to the road and to the cart wheels; and destroys the metalling in a shorter time than would otherwise have happened. 3. — I also agree with Mr. Martin in reprobating the pernicious practice of cutting deep ditches at the foot of the sloping sides of embanked roads, which, though saving a trifling part of the first cost of making a road, adds enormously to the subsequent expense of maintaining it.
