Improvements in Calcutta: The Dunkin Bustee, in Chowringhee, 1860. Europeans in India. The Calcutta Municipality has commenced clearing the European, quarter of the town from its native inmates, and the View with which we present our readers shows the result of their efforts in carrying out the contemplated improvement. Two years ago the identical locality known by the name of the Dunkin Bustee, and situated in the heart of Chowringhee, was covered with a cluster of native huts, which was the emporium of filth and dirt, the huts having been so closely huddled together as to be actually inaccessible to conservancy carts. The Town Commissioners having bought the ground, first cleared it of all the huts, and. after appropriating a sufficient area for the excavation of a tank and the formation of a square, sold the remaining portion for the express purpose of building European residences thereupon. One stately mansion has been finished...Thus the locality has been cleared of its dirty inmates, the residents of the neighbourhood have a supply of good tank water, whilst Park-street itself has benefited in appearance. We understand that...the principle is to be extended to the whole of the European quarter of Calcutta. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
