ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS TO .ES TIMATES FOR 1921 
Sir, 
« 
, t have the honour to ash authority to 
include the following items in the general estimates for the 
Gardena’ Department for th^ year 1921% 
P There are several matters concerning the 
t 
general , policy and organisation of the Apartment which have 
not been included, as they appear to be matters which require 
the personal consideration and recommendation of the Director 
himself and in hie absence I have refrained from plotting them 
forward. During the past few years of war, however, the 
Gardens' votes have necessarily been kept at the minimum with 
the inevitable result that at the present time, there is an 
accumulation of minor requirements which necessitate immediate 
attention. The suggestions here included therefore concern 
the formal running of the Department only and in view of the 
present conditions cannot be delayed pending the return ©f the 
Director. 
* Attached is a summary of my proposals, 
with my reasons for making these recommendations,
