To find a site I have explored all the 
Settlements. The only available unoccupied land in Singapore 
is poor, and Singapore has rot a good fruiting and seeding 
oil mete: the only aval 3 able unoccupied l*nd in Malacca seemed 
to me very uneui table: Penary offer© nc goc^ land: but there 
■ . * 
is a site that 1 have selected in Province ^ell^nlry near 
Freh Station vfhich seemo suitably and to establish on it an 
‘Pconordc plantation is rry proposal. 
The l~r\d belongs to the Government: It ic a deforested part 
of the Tasek Glugor Forest Reserve which the Conservator of 
Fora«t* does not wish to retain. It i« near Jtreh Bail^ay 
Station and fronts the high wad from thence to P/atfnng Somi 
in Kao ah. It is therefore o f easy n coees, while also by its 
front* g* ;ood f or nr- verti sirg our i ntroductionS, 
4, I am not in need of extra labour to 
d eve Ion it, but would require the amount uprnt on the 
Economic Garden in Singapore tc be transferred as & vote for 
labour for the T&eek Giugor plantation, and bo also the per- 
J 
tion spent from the vets for stores, tools etc.

Aa to supervision, one of my planter iBBOT 
assistant* should be allowed to push through the pr ell rain- 
i 
ariea. Quarters for him c*n he hed at e r*ntrl upon the 
adjoining Mnle.koff t'stnfce: none need he built as his connec¬ 
tion would be temporary- the permanent staff might be under 
Mr. Mohamed Haniff, the Field ^SHletset at present in Penang 
assisted by the foreman gardener, PMllsrauthu, at present in U 
the ITcson >mi c Garden, Singapore, Aodul ivadir, the other fora- 
man Gardener in the Economic Garden, Uing&pore would be put 
under the Penang Gardena staff, vice Mr. Mohamed haniff, but 
without charge in title. You will observe that I have the 
staff.
