REPORT ON THE HEAVY
quantity of rain that has fallen, all the roofs are more or less seriously
damaged. I think it would be a false economy, repairing a portion here
and there, and would strongly recommend the re-roofing of the entire
buildings,—the cost of this will be

5,804. This is calculating
that about one fourth of the beams are serviceable, and also slight
plastering to all the walls outside. The rafters are, I may say, rotten,
and unserviceable ; the verandahs, which have been lately added to
these pendalls have answered well, in every respect.

the 2nd Belooch Regiment pendalls, which are in a very bad state ; of

1078, of 1851; I have the honour to state that but trifling damage
has been caused to the buildings in the civil department within the
range of my control, as far as I have as yet heard.
—The only civil buildings here are the Grovernment House, Col
lector’s and the Deputy Collectors’ bungalows, the Post-office, and the
Deputy Collector’s bungalow at Kotree. The three first require but
trifling repairs, which are now in progress. An estimate has been
already sent in for repairs to the two last. The Post-office will how
ever require still further repairs than that estimated for by me, as the
rain has caused some damage to the out-houses.
