The Toom-L buddra project , which was the one selected for the initiative of the Company , is reported in a highly satisfactory state of progress * The Company enjoys the cpncvirrence and support ' ofjthe Local G-Pyernment . ^ Barly in the present year , the Gompanyj with the sanction and approval of the Secretary of State and the Government of Madras , entered upon the cpnstructiori . pf a portion of the Eurnool works . In the course of six weeks , a . temporary stone dam , 1190 yards in length , an'd containing 17 : 900 tOiis of stone , was constructed across the Toombuddra river , fo
and proved eritirely successful . The compariy ' s schema : comprises ur divisions .- 1 , the Maury Tank Project ; 2 , the ITpper Bellary Projeefc j 3 , the Lower Bellary Project ; 4 > the Kurnool Project . Each of these is complete in iteeit , but altogether ^ they fprm pne ; grand cpnnected plan , no less than 7 ( 00 miles in length . ¦ The estimatedvcost , " aa calculated by Cplonel S . C .

Obp , the guaranteed capital of the company haying been £ lj 600 , 060 : and this estimate was verified by Captain Rundall , the consulting engineer appointed by the Madras . Government . The Secretary of State for India ( Sir C , | Wood ) having ^ Ciesti pned the expediency of " extending the works to be undertaken by the Company , tne
wilha guaranteed capital beyond the sum iot d 51 , oo ^ uvo ,-r uom pany have been iriyeonxoaunioation with hini pri this subject , and axe taking steps for the adoption of ineans satisfactory to all parties for carrying but the entire scheme in its integrity ; This arrangement ,, it appears , has the advantage . the strong ' .. recommendations of : the Local Government .

The reports of the chief engineer show , that . works are beirie prosecuted in the most expeditious and fiatisfectppy manlier . In June last the Local G : pver . nment intimated to the coinpp , ny that it was " much gratified to learn that the dam across theToqm ? which this has been
