experiment appears to be the area coloured red which lies out¬ 
side the cart track* the high ground inside same being of quest¬ 
ionable value for agricultural experiments. 
(e) The draft estimates as far as the P.W.D. work is concerned 
are sufficiently accurate being based on figures supplied unoffi¬ 
cially by this Department. 
(f) The suggestion that most of the valuable trees (specimens) 
» 
could be retained on the high ground if the Director of Gardens* 
proposals were approved would stand good if the area was devoted 
to Official Residences as I suggest that this area should be 
maintanid by Gardens labour on the same lines as Government Domai 
at the present time. 
(g) I do not like the idea either of reclaimimg the yellow area 
by earth obtained from the high ground within the Economic Gard - 
ens the spoil for this reclamation if HMMM desired to proceed 
with it should come from the high ground on the other side of the * 
Bukijr Timah Road thus leaving the whole of the high ground with¬ 
in the Economic Gardens unspoiled for Residential purposes. 
In para: 135 page A. 29 of the recommendations of the Hous¬ 
ing Commission it was therein suggested that this portion of tbe 
Economic Gardens should be utilized for building purposes. As ±t 
is Absolutely wasted as Economic Gardens'* and my proposals MMM 
merely provide for a reduction in the number of houses to be 
constr cted on this property in order to comply with the require¬ 
ments of His Excellency the Governor to provide suitable sites 
for Residencies for the more important officials of the Colony.
