The decision of the Gov«rnna»nbylto 
build the ‘“affleft emo&lal 
C olleger In the Tconomio ^ardebyfeonveysd In letter 4240/21 dated 
26th July, 1921 
8 been communicated to the ^ardens'* 
c ommittee together 7 ^with my letter 487/21 of April 25th, 1921 to 
A 
which the Government *8 letter quoted was the reply. 
I had sequested that the Government would do two things.'— 
(i) would decide at once definitely to leave the corner of the 
Economic hardens 
carrying 
the hardens 
houses with 
the 
*ard efts 
rm * 
and (ii) would 
decide 
the fate 
of 
the 
rent of 
the 
*arden 
firat 
- 
within a year. 
The reply does 
not 
meet 
nyV request^/ 
at all 
• 
2. As a consequence 
of the 
decision 
to put 
the 
^affles 
memorial College 
into the 
Garden 
and 
of 
the want 
of 
any 
decision in regard to my first request the following works are 
held up in the Public Works department ; — 
aj the building of a house for the Assistant Curator, ^arkSj 
sanctioned, and budgetted for in item 19 one. 127 of the ^st^imateSj 
urged and re-urged by me without any effect; needed when on 
Sfth the officer in question'arrived, and still needed* 
b) the rebuilding of the Watchmen^ Quarters, budgetted for in 
item /23 on p* 127 of the T'sjimates* The old quarters have been 
patched at the u ardens expense; but storms souse the men_s 
T t n 
bedding, and the condition is altogether wrong. 
o) the building of line# for 12 single and 10 married tamilB 
budgetted. for in item 7 on p. 124 of the lietimatee, and veiy 
badly needed* 
the filling of the Cluny Xake, an anti-malarial measure, 
for whffeh the Public Works department teav^^becn asked to 
estimate^ #v tC . 
^ot one of these works is a matter which requires re-con¬ 
sideration because fewer c otiieB will be rquired when the 
Economic garden is abandoned; ji^M***- -- 
pojie of the buildings mentioned in the last paragraph 
appear to me at all likely to lie in the way of the college
