As the Municipality asked permission to stock sas-main nines a t the 
Gat'dens entrances the Gardens Committee have been aware of the change of 
tne Municipality 1 s plans,and have discussed the question^ 
^he laying of the pipes through uvi mn- ± . \^ 
the Gardens means the disturbance of about 21 chains of roadway now,and 
* • * • 
tne possibility of the pulling up of the roadway when anything goes 
wrong with the line-o 
Tne alternative to crossing the gardens,which the Municipality has* 
of, laying the pipe line round the outside of the gardens.would lengthen 
their line by the difference between 21 and 48 chains. 
The gain to the Municipality'is therefore not inconsiderable and 
the Gardens Committee consider that they are not unreasonable in asking 
for a return for the disturbance of their roads now and possibly laterf. 
They wish you to ask if the Municipality in return will:— 
1. Undertake to make the surface of the road as good as they find 
r. 
it wne/ever they have reason to disturb it c 
11. Continue the water supply of the gardens to the Tamil Cooly 
lines,and erect there a standpipe.The length of this extension would be 
about 11 chains,over which at present our Tamil Coolies have to carry 
water for themselves c 
The first request is a natural one;the second is the real quid 
pro quo:and further - my Committee is unanimous in asking it.
