Ind.W.L.K, 12/9/22 
I tnlnk the Economic Gardens should bo carried on preferably in 
connection with the Agricultural Dept* F*M,S. as suggested by 
Mr* Kemp* If that can be arranged tne Colony snould pay a fair 
prox>ortion of tne cost. In no circumstances snould tnis useful work 
be discontinued, and if a joint senema witn the F*M*S* cannot be 
arranged tnen a separate Economic Garden for tne Colony snould be 
establisned Wnerever suitable land is available* 
I ml* V.G* 13/9/22 
I quite agree witn tne views expressed by Mr* Baddoley in his 
minute of tne 3*9.22 in tnis paper* I fully support tn$t tne Singapore 
Economic Garden be gradually abolisned as the Raffles College develops 
and the Colony snould offer to contribute a fair proportion of the 
expenses incurred in the running of tne Agricultureal Department in 
tne F.M.S* as a joint department. 
Tne Singapore Botanic Garden would tnen be merely ornamental, and 
its Directorship snould be abolisned, and its control be placed under ]Ct 
the Director of tne Singapore Museum* 
We nave nad too many Directors acre and tnere tnrougnout Malaya, 
and I strongly urge, in order to effect economy and efficiency, tne 
aim of Government snould be vigorously directed to tneir consolidating 
departments or amalgamating 44 tnara with tnose of tne F.M.S* wnerever 
possible.
