Calcutta 214 acres, and also town gardens) 
iv, that the slepes in the Ecenomic Gardens, because 
irregular epen cultivation must be resorted to in dealing with 
many ef the plants requiring room there, can reasonably be 
maintained as lawns planted with trees in landscape fashion , 
and that such a part ef the Garden being the most attractive 
to the refainary visiter sholud be readed to induce him to 
approach the ecenomic plants desirable fer a thrusting inte 
o 
netice: further that the houses ef the European staff should 
look sut unto tidy grsunds, and may reasonably face these 
slepes; but that ceelies, seme among them thieves as regards 
edible prsduce and untidy as regards their surreundings, 
should be housed en the margin of the grounds, and fenced off.

postulates I believe that the Ecenomic Garditt' ought to MH be 
firmly binrgiK built inte the Betanic Gardens, and devcleped in 
the following way, I make my proposals categorically, 
I # That a metalled read be made in centinuation ef KOI 
the part ef Garden Read within the Gardens, upon the line 
indicated in the map. Garden Read in 24 feet wide, and the 
Arberetum Read (this name I prepose fer it) weuld have the 
same breath. It weuld start frem a circle sn Cluny Rsad, and 
• / 
in this way the imprevement if the Dalvey Read entrance t# the 
Betanic Garden (which improvement the Committee has so much 
urged on the Municipality) weuld be effected. The road is 
planned, in addition to admitting the carriage public, to 
serve the quarters of the superier staff, and the Ecenomic 
Garden Office, to have very easy gradients, and to cest the 
Gardens no valuable trees, 
2, That the area in green, being the slopes, be 
kept as new in grass planted with trees. It will held abeut 
M# mere trees. It needs mere labour and attention than it 
gets nsw. 
That the area coloured pink, being the ridge 
be reserved for the houses of the European staff, these ef the 
watchmen and the so called afctist*© quarters being removed
