c18.s24.4

“A letter to the Mokadam of Mauja-Nasrapur, Tarf Khedebare: Lakshman Krishna has been ordered to construct a dam near Shri Baneshwar in the aforesaid Mauja at an expense of Rs. 800. It has been settled that half of the sanctioned expenditure, Rs. 400, should be given by the government and the other half should be realised from those whose lands were to be irrigated. The owners of such lands should, therefore, pay according to their share of half the sanctioned expenditure and you should also pay the share due to your land without making any objection."³⁹
