But the only reply received to the representation was that "His Excellency the Commander-inehief declines to interfere in the matter.’ In consequence of this order the said gentlemen have ceased to do anything towards the repairs of the road between the Railway and Jaffarpur, and when I was recently in camp in the neighbourhood of Nawabganj Babu Adoita Charan Mandal ( the son of Sridhar Mandal) who now represents the family, brought the matter to my notice. I inspected the road and found that it was in very deep ruts and almost impassable for wheel traffic. I also ascertained that it is no longer, or at any rate very seldom, used by the artillery guns. The Mandals of Nawabganj are a very respectable family who have acted liberally in many ways. Besides constructing the road in question, they have built an alms-house, a dispensary and a school. The last mentioned building is a very substantial edifice costing Rs. 18000 and besides providing this sum the two brothers also contributed Rs. 15000 for the maintenance of the school, which is now one of the most flourishing educational institutions in this District. On these grounds I think, that the representations which they made to His Excellency the Commander-in-chief was deserving of greater consideration than it received. The road having been constructed and repaired at the cost of the two brothers at the instance of a Government official, the Magistrate of the District, it was natural and reasonable that they should expect some compensation
