A short cut path for motor cars leading from the office to the 
Main Gate vrns marked on the turf on the boundary of Lawns B & C, and 
small culverts have now been built so that the path is now usable by 
cai*s on dry days. 
Dr. Furtado arranged for the distribution of oil for the coolies 
and other members of the Gardens * Department# It was not possible to 
obtain bran and charcoal rations this month. 
Since food hawkers have become extremely rare in the vicinity of 
the Gardens and since it was impossible to buy loaves of bread except 
at exorbitant prices, an arrangement has now b ten made to obtain 150 
loaves of bread and distribute them at cost price to the Gardens Staff. 
Che 1 A. Wahab carried on with the usual clerical routine of the 
office. Special Items in this month were the distribution to the 
da^iy paid workers of special metal badges obtained from the 
Tokn\>etusi. Some of the coolies who formerly received monthly salary 
then had rectangular badges and who have now received round badges 
have become dissatisfied. Rectangular badge is considered as more 
honorofic than the round one worn by ordinary coolies. 
Mr. A. Especkerman typed 40 sheets of the Flora of Syonan, 75 
sheets of the Library Index, and assisted in preparing the lists for 
Bread and Bran, and also in receiving and returning the Provision Cards 
of the Staff. He also helped visitors in the Library.
