The Government, it appears, were prepared to grant most liberal concessions as regards the supply of fuel.

But I regret that I have no information as to whether these proposed works have or have not been started.

For the information of those who might be inclined to embark in this industry I may mention that a copy of the Dewan's annual addresses always appears in the "Mysore and Coorg Directory," which is a most valuable compilation on all points of importance relating to those provinces.

These annual addresses are admirably drawn up and are most interesting to read.

The attention shown to the many various points treated of is most remarkable.
Nothing seems too great and nothing too small for notice by the Dewan, and it is this even attention all along the line that shows the fine administrator.
