Extract from Minutes of Consultation transmitted by the
Government of Madras, on the 15th Mav, 1858, to the
late Court of Directors of the East India Company :
The Government express their unanimous, strong, and
earnest advocacy that all irrigation works which, on a com-
prehensive view of the wants of the country, may be deemed
necessary to develop its undoubtedly great resources, be
commenced at once boldly and on a large scale, be pressed
forward throughout all times and under all circumstances,
and be looked on, and be practically treated, as in fact they
really are, as the most economical, because the most pro-
fitable, undertakings in which the Government could pos-
sibly. engage. It is needless now again to bring forward
the innumerable instances in which money has in the Pre-
sidency been most advantageously invested in irrigation
works. The proceedings of Government have, in this re-
spect, been only too desultory and vacillating, and it is
confidently asserted that India could be placed in a
position to pay all her own expenses, and gradually dis-
charge her debt far more readily and speedily by a judicious
expenditure than by any scheme of retrenchment or reduc-
tion.
