festivals, and on mail days. Several times also small trees have been cut down in the 
garden jungle which abuts upon the main road; and a swan was stolen from the lake

For these reasons, d have proposed to re-place them by Malays acting as Forest 
Watchmen, which 1 have reason to believe will be much more satisfactory.
