PART IV 
ADMINISTRATION. 
40. Mr. G. E. S. Cubitt, c.b.e., continued in charge of the department 
until his retirement on 13th December, when the writer succeeded him. 
Singapore remained under the charge of a Sub-Assistant Conservator 
of Forests under the general supervision of the Personal Assistant to the 
Conservator (now Deputy Director). Malacca remained under the sole 
charge of an Assistant Conservator of Forests, with headquarters at Jasin, 
working under the State Forest Officer, Negri Sembilan and Malacca. The 
State Forest Officer, Perak North, continued to supervise the forests of 
Penang and the Dindings. An Assistant Conservator of Forests with head- 
quarters in Taiping was in charge of Penang throughout the year, but the 
work in the recently-constituted Dindings district suffered from changes.
