- Title:
- Letter from Mayo to Argyll
- Scope & Content:
- Proposed Civil Engineering College in England might also provide for Survey, Telegraph, and Forest Depts all of which have great difficulty in securing first class men; such men badly needed to get best out of Native officers, but unfortunately many subordinate European officers do not command respect; hopes College will not be new charge on Indian revenue; encloses papers on position regarding imposition of cess in Bengal on roads, education and sanitation; education of Maharaja of Mysore; encloses papers from (Sir) A D Sassoon (Bombay merchant) on opium and its uncertainty as source of revenue; financial proposals well received [apparently helped by evident urgency of situation] and Mayo optimistic about prospects of permanent reduction of expenditure and increase in efficiency and expansion of most useful public works.
