The irrigated area has been much increased since the opening of the Dhassan Canal and the construction of a second weir on the Betwa Canal and the area irrigated in 1910-11 and 1911-12 was respectively 21 848 acres and 23 670 acres. [...] With the construction of the CawnporBanda Railway and the removal of the Head Quarters of the ditrict from Hamirpur to Mahoba the need for such a road has ceased and if the metalled road is to be continued at all it will unquetionably be joined to the Cawnpore-Hamirpur-Malloba road at Maudaha. [...] The staff usually consists of a Joint Magistrate stationed at Mahoba and two full powered Deputy Collectors One in charge of the Hamirpur Sub-Division and the Treasury the second in charge of the Sub-Division comprising the Rath and Maudaha tahsils. [...] The decision on the question of the transfer of the Head Quarters of the district was indefinitely postponed by Sir John Hewett late Lieutenant-Coveriuw. [...] The number of road police was increased to 84 in 1912 while as a result of the redistribution of the force of village police the number was reduced from 1 078 to 1 017 in 1911.
