" His Honour the Lieu enant- Governor considers that
it (the Soane Canal project) holds out better prospects
than the Orissa scheme, and that it would be good for
both the East India Irrigation Company and for the coun-
try if the Company wore to adopt this instead of the
other ; but the projectors prefer that originally selected by
them. • _ . .

" We have long regarded this scheme as ono of all
others in India to which private capital should be invited,

initiative in planning the great-woFks_of the country, that
they are so placed before the public that they cau be dis-
