334 CHUzV R TO WN ference of the walls is about 2,400 yards. The present fortifications were for the most part construēted by the Musalmans, apparently from materials obtained by pulling down still older Hindu buildings. The town lies immediately north of the fort in the angle between the Jirgo and the Ganges, and contains a dispensary and a branch of the Church Missionary Society. Close by is the tomb of Shah Kdsim Sulaimani, a saint whose piety was clearly established, when he was carried prisoner to Delhi, by his fetters dropping off each evening at the time of prayer. His cap and turban are still shown at his tomb, and when gently rubbed by one of his disciples pour out a divine influence. Chundr was a municipality from 1868 to 1904, and during the ten years ending 19or the income and expenditure averaged about Rs. 7,ooo. The income in 1903-4 was Rs. r3,00o, chiefly derived from octroi (Rs. 8,ooo); and the expenditure was Rs. 12,000. Its con- stitution has now been changed to that of a `notified area.' The town has little trade, but some inferior art pottery with debased European patterns is produced here. There is a tahsili school, and the munici- pality aids three schools attended by 246 pupils.
