Instructions to Mr* Flippance* l^th Oct* J.922 
Funds . There is exactly enough for our expenditure over the 
rest of the year under the head Coolies and under the uead 
Travelling: go that the number of coolies must not be altered 
nor must anything be put against the travelling vote beyond 
your cycle* which 1 am told the Govt4~ allow* But I have no t 
seen the papers yet* 
You should buy plant-pots and manure to the amount arr nged 
by the Committee: and you can buy timber and cement as you 
suggest costing #76.80 and $ 28.00 for we save about 150 on 
the year’s purchase of tools. 
Watch the bills carefully so as to get all into ; iscellan- 
eous that is not properly Stdrew ot Tools* 
The Gardener vote shows that we can add a man or two* 
As the special work is lagging; X should like if ossi e _ 
see these extra men or this e tra man used on the 
Stream bank. Of course you could have 6 men on the stream on 
Monday and none over the rest of the week* forthat would be 
equivalent to using the extra man daily on the stream. 
The big boulders which deflect the current at the uead oj 
you new cut should be moved by means of crowbars u‘il they 
deflect the current in the other direction. I think that it will 
not be economical to let the stream carry the e:ingle down* but^j£— 
that it should be dug across* . 
Municipal land * We must make a beginning of planting on iy. 
Some young trees could be put in at once* x want to know what 
amount of wire netting will ba, required to fence the land. 
Line s* Allot yourself the new godowns; and then see that 
no women are left in the bachelors lines* All rough partitions 
that the men have been allowed to put up within them should 
be removed. 
Post up ih the office the allotment. 
B el Hetiro* Monthly after going up* advise the Resident Woun- 
cillor what work is necessary and leave him to decide how much 
of it he will do on his vote. It may be expedient to tell 
Fernando what your reconmendations will be* so that he ? ay 
the better understand what will be demanded possibly* 
A copy 0^° my recommendations is supplied heb^with. 
Work. There are no major orders. The wish of the Commit 
to see the PolyalthAae down may be acceded to so far that 
the worst may be/ removed* The ex eriment should be watched* 
that we may know if the interplanted Poinciana is th^better tor* 
*^atesbaea* and the anti-leprosy plants should be planted out. 
An Araucaria in the yard should be planted out if possible*
