PREFACE,

This little book is mostly a reprint of the

different pamphlets that have been published
from time to time giving an outline of the main
features of mr Scheme for the establishment
of an up-to-date self-contained Garden-Town
based on Co-operative principles.
A Co-operath'e Societ~r, by the name of the
]fodel ~'own Society, Limited, has come iuto
being to founel such a ~'owu in the vicinity of
Lahore. ~'he Punjab Government has agreed
to sell the planted portion of Rakh Kot Lakhpat>
covering an area of 1963 acres, to the Society at
Rs. 400 per acre. The possession of the land
will be given to the Society when it pa~rs ten per
cent. of the total amount, and the balance of
the money ,,-ill hu\'e to be paid by five equal
annual instalmen ts.
~'he Hakh is almost a square in shape, and
the nearest Railway Station is at a distance of
about half a mile from it. The distance from
-
the Lahore District Courts is about 5*, miles and
"

from the Lahore .Municipal Boundary it is only

3 miles. The Society intends to connect the new
Town with Lahore (Anarkali) by a Tramway line.

would be as follows :-_

The ordinary Wfl,y,in whioh shop' are run III Lahore
and other places, is that 6ach shop-owner tries tG have
a shop at a prominent place where he oan best catch the
customer and endamage his competitor j and to got the
place of aclvaut'age he has to pay an exho bitant rent,
which ront has, ultimately, to go out of the pockets of
the Luying public. In en)ry town, and particularly so
in ]~aJlOre, there are senmtl slllall shops which cRrry on
the same kind of business. The owners of tlwse shops
and their attendants, perhaps, work only 2 or 3 hours a
day and the rest of t he day they sit idle at the shops.
So' the blolying pl:blic has to pay not only for the price
of the goods that it purchases, but for the upkeep and
UHlintenance of the shop anel its attendants even for the
time that the shop remains idle. Besides, the goods at
the small shops are of a limited \'ariety, and the custo-
mer, in ordl!r to choose the righ~ thing, has to visit all
the shops of the sallle kind which means expense, wony
and waste of time. On the other hanel, as I suggest, if
tll1're was only one big shop it would be more convenient
to the public and it could give much better and chea-
per service. According to my estimates the inhabitants
will save about 20 pel' cent,. on their purchases from the
Gtmeral Stores.
Bye-la.W3.-As regards thp. Bye-laws of. the

to arbitrators.

rative Garden Town in the Suburbs of Lahore. Since
27th Sept. 1920. then, the Scheme has made considerable fluther progr6ss
which is described below £91' the bene"fit of all those
interested in it.

Government Committee.-The Govel'l11llent is

t;4j.king a real interest in this Sc11emeand His Honour
the Lilmt-Governor of the Punjab was pleased to appoint
I1n infiuentia! Committee to consider it. The Committee
met in the office of the Financial Commissioner on the
It'lth November last" and of its members the following
were present at the meeting :_
(1) The Hon'ble Sir H. J. Maynard, M.A., K. C.
I. E., C. S. 1., Financial Commissioner,
Punjab.-Chairman.
(2) H. Calvert, Esquire, B. Sc., I.C.S., Registrar,
Co.operat.ive Societies, Punjab.
(3) 'J'he Hon'ble 1111'. B.T. Gibson, M. A., I.C.S.,

(5) Rai 13ahadur lunar Nath Nanda, B. A.,
Sanitary Bngineer to Punjab Government.
(6) F. P. Francis Bsquire, A. R. 1. B. A., Consul-
ting Architect to Punjab Government.
(7) Diwan Khem Chand, Barrister-at-Law.
1'he Committee very thoroughly went through the
Scheme and have submitted their report to Government.
The chief change that they haye recommeFlded is that
they. have reduced the size of the Town from 1,000
house I!! . to 500 houses of the A and B classes only.
Besides these, there will of court'e be the usual out-
houses for servant, labonrers, workmen etc, and the
public buildings. 'rhe Committee considered 500 acr:s
of land as sufficient for a Town of this size. '1'he public
building!! and conveniences were roughly estimated to
cost from 10 to 12 lakhs of rupees. It is expected that,
besides the nsual grants, the Government will meet half
t,he cost of the 'Yater-works and the Sewerage. As
regards the lay-out of the 'Town, it was considered that
it would be better if the lay-out plans were invited from
the public and a good prize given for the sel:cted plan.
T have every hope that the sympathetiC Govern-
ment of His Excellency Sir Edward lfaclagan, K.C.S.!.,
K.C.I.E., will soon pass orders favourable to the early
acc0mplishment of th~ Scheme.
Demand for houses.-I considered that 200
houses would be quite a sufficient number to start the
Scheme with. But the demand for beUer living appears
25
to be so great that, since the publication of the 1st
progress report, fresh applications for houses haTe been
coming in almelst every day, and the total number of
houses so far ordered c:omes up to 410. Of these 288
are for A class, 89 for B class, and 33 for C ;::la8s.
I have no doubt the remaining houses will soon be
taken up.
In view of the recommendation of Sir John May-
nard's Committee to have the main residential houses
of A and B classes only and also because thA)'e does not
seem much demand for C class houses, it would be
better if all those who have ordered C class houses wiII
please change them into smaller B class ones.
I am giving a supplementary list of ladies and
gentlemen who have agreed to take houses, since the
publication of the progress report. 1'he class of per-
sons who have so far come in is a sure guarantee that
Our new Town wiII be a great success, and will, I expect,
serve as a model for all new Towns that aro likely to
be founded in the near future.
Orltlolsm.-My Scheme lIaS now been before the
public for Over one year, and the public have had
sufficient time to criticise it. But I am glad to learn
that almost everyone, who has read the whole Schome
through, has pronounced it as good and desirable.
There are no doubt some pessimists who consider the
Scheme as very ambitious and difthmlt of uclJievulllont,
but. on the other Laud, thellt3 are a large JllllJlbor of

AnsWers t.) Questions .._I have been asked
num bel' of questions regarding the details of my
Scheme. 1 have given answers to them individually.
Some of the most common questions aiiiked of me 1 give
below with my replies to them :-
Q._ IYhat is to be the plan of the Town?
A.-In the original Scheme, I gave a brief out-
line of my idea of a Layout-plan for this
'I'own. I proposed that all the public places
should be in the centre of the Town and
the houses located on roads in concentric rings
round the Central Square. 'fhis plan would
make the public places almost equidistant
frol11the residential houses and the situation
27
of houses would be almost ic1en~ical. No
one would be able to say that hi, house is
better situated than another's in the samo
class. It will do away with a number of
small streets and there will be 110 better
quarters and no slums. But the question of a
Lay-out of the 'I'gwn is very important, liS
whatever ,qesign is now adopted, it will
remain, and it will not be possible to eusily
nlter it at a later stage, so I would strongly
recommed the suggestion of the l\Iaynard
Committee that we should adyc.!rtise for a
Lay-out plan and offer a good. prize for tho
selected design. 'I'o examine the different
It
plans and to select one for this Towil it will
be necessary to appoint a Lay-out Assessing
CommiUee. It is qnite possible the Govel'll-
ment may allow its Consnlting Arch itect to
help us in this matter alld in that case it will
be an ad vantage to lla ,-e him on the COlli'
mittee.
.Q.- Why should the Company build the houses
for members and not tho members build
their own houses themselves?
A.-The buildit~g of 11 house is a difficult and
a troublesome affair. '1'0 build a house it
requires not only money, but plenty of !eislll'e,
enginiol'ing skill, the control of labour) or-

It was further resolved that "the Society be
registered under the Co-operative Societies Act if, up
to the end of March 192], pertions desiring to purchase
500 houses send in Rs. 100 each." By 31st or March
over 400 persons desiring to purchase some 600 houses
had paid in Bs. 100 each into the Central Co-operative
Bank at Lahore.
'rhe Preliminary Committee held 4 meetings, at
the 1st meeting the Bye-laws we!'e framed, they were
then sBnt to the Registrar of Co-operative Societies for
his expert advice. He scrutinized them aIld made
some suggestions. 'l'hese were considered at the next
meet.ing, and the Bye-laws were slightly altered so. as
to brillO' them in confirlllit.y with the Co-operatIve
o
focieLies Act. 1'he drafb Bye-laws were then sent to
all the prospective members who had sent in Hs. 100
each, :lI1d they were asked to suggest amendments.
fome 20 nWlIlbers sent in a few suggestions which
were considered at the last meeting, the Bye-laws
were sli"'hLlr amended and sent .lIp for registeratioll. .

43
persons had sent in Hs. 100 each. 1'he 1\fannging
Committee considered that it would be fair and
desirable if only such persons were admitted who
approved of the Bye-laws and agreed t,o abide b.,: them
and were not under 18 years of age. "Yith i,his object
the Bye-laws of the Societ,y 'YCl'e sent to all the
prospectiye members with an application form. 'I.'he
result is that 401 persons have agl'eed to the Bye-laws
and have been admitted as members of the Society.
68 have withdrawn their nftmes and ftbont a 100 ha,-e
not yet made up their minds. 'rhe persons who han
withdrawn are either clerks for whom the Govemment
is going to build quarters to live in or are persons who
misapprehended ru!e 32, which restricts the sale of a
house to a member of the Society, and thought that
that provision would lower the value of the house in
case one found it necessary to sell it. 'l'he value of :t
hOtHledepends a great deal upon its neighboUl'hood.
If there were no restrictions on sales and if ft member
sold his house to a persoll who carried OIl an immoral
trade or profession, that would at once lower the ,'alue
of the neighbouring houses. It was to avoid this
contingenc)' and afford some sort of a guarantee that
one's neighbours would always be approvel! persons
that this Bye-law was made. The shares are transfer-
able, and any body who agrees to the Bye-laws, is not
under 18 years of age, and is approved by the Managing
Committee can become a member at au)' time, and i:!0,

He saw the site and seemed to approve of it He told
me that Government would agree to gi\'e 1,000 acres.
The p:Lpers are now with the Development Commis-
sioner and, I hope, he will soon get Goverument sallc-
tion and give possession of the land. The society is
quite ready to start the practical work of the '('own as
soon as land is made over to it,
The portion of the Rakh that has been selected
for the location of the Town commences at the St,h mile
from Lahore District Conrts on the Road at Ferozepore.
Hoth the Railway and the Canal are close by. '1'he
locality is one of the healthiest ronnd about Lahore.
Two miles from the Rakh on the lahore side is the
town of Ichhra, wit,h a popnlatioll of over 5,000 persons,
which according to the last Sanit:Ll'Y Report is one of
the healthiest toWJ~Sin the province. Inspite of its old
and insanitary houses it has a death rate of only 14'79
per mille compared to Lahore's death-rate of 34'05.
47
Baghbanpura, which is slightly bigger than Ichhra and
is situated at a distance of five miles from Lahore, on
the road to Amritsar, has a death rate of 34'61. The
a verage death rate of the province for urban areas is
~2'75 and for ruml areas 28'12. From these figures it
IS clear that the locality that has been selected is one
of the healthiest in the province j and when a model
~own ,~ith all the latest sanitary improvements comes
lI1t.o eXlst.ence the death rate should be even lower than
that of Ichhra,
, .'l'he Managing Committee has resolved that. the
first II1stalment to be called froUl purchasers of houses
should be only 10 pel' cent, of the estimated cost of their
hou,ses. A Sub,-CoU1mittee has beeu formed to get ready
~eslgns and estImates uf some 20 or 25 houses of vary-
Ing accommodation of aU the classes, and also the esti.
mates of public buildings and works. 'I.'he area alloted
to houses of the 3 classes will be, A Class-6 KanaIs,
B. Class-4 Kanals, C. Class- 2 Kanals. '1'he first in-
stalment will be call'3d about April or May next.
_, ~ince registeration of the Society, the Managing
Conul1lttee hav~ held 4 meetings and the average atten-
dance at meetll1gs was 10 which, considering the hot
weathel aud ,vacatiou months, is very satisfactory.
