Para. 29. Encamping ground.
20. The site alluded to has already been selected
as an encamping ground.
Para. 30. Separate ablution
rooms.
21. The provision of separate ablution rooms for the men occupying the
tiled barracks does not appear to be a work of such
emergency as to warrant an application to Government
for funds to carry it out. The present arrangement
has been found convenient, and not hitherto considered very faulty.
Para. 33. Re-establishment
of Military Cantonment.
22. An attempt was made some time ago to re-establish the Military Can-
tonment of Satara, and the difficulties in the way were
found to be almost insuperable in consequence of the
large amount of private property which it would be
necessary to include within Military limits. Vide Government Resolution, Mili-
tary Department, No. 3287, dated 13th August 1875.
I have the honor to be, &c.,
