The Citizen of India

1907

They soon found it necessary to employ servants for the benefit of the whole village such as the barber tl e carpenter the blacksmith the washerman the potter and in course of time the silver-smith and the copper-smith. [...] The cultivators ploughed the land gathered the crops and after paying the rent due to the ruler of the country they supported the village priests and the temple servants rewarding the village artizans for their services by giving them a share of the produce according to custom. [...] The prosperity of the city now depends upon the 'prosperity of the village and the citizen of each learns that the interests of the urban and rural population are the same. [...] When the city had grown in numbers and in wealth owing to trade and the preservation of peace the British government offered in 1840 to give over to the ratepayers the collection and management of the rates if two-thirds of them in any of the four quarters or districts into which the city was divided would ask for it. [...] (Since the year 1758 however it has enjoyed the priceless blessings of peace and safety) During troublous times while the armies of Hyder devatated the Carnatic rich bankers and wealthy traders came to live in Madras to be safe under the guns of the fort and the population and wealth of the town rapidly increased.
