MURREE

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 43 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOS-NAN
MURREE , a town and sanatorium of British India, in the
Rawalpindi
 
district
  of the Punjab, 7517 ft. above the sea, about five
hours
 ' journey by cart-road from
Rawalpindi
  town, and the starting-point for Kashmir. The houses are built on the
summit and sides of an irregular
ridge
 , and command magnificent views over forest-clad hills and deep valleys, studded with villages and cultivated fields, with the snow-covered peaks of Kashmir in the background. The population in r901 was 1844; but these figures omit the summer visitors, who probably number 1o,000. The garrison generally consists of three
mountain
  batteries. Since 1877 the summer offices of the provincial government have been transferred to Simla. The Murree brewery, one of the largest in India, is the
chief
  industrial
establishment
 . The Lawrence Military Asylum for the children of European soldiers is situated here.
