Sir, 
With reference to the appointment of a coolie for the 
Coconut Inspector, I hare the honour to suggest that if the 
man is not particularly wanted for tree climbing, would it not 
be possible and more satisfactory to keep Amin Dolah in the 
Central District and appoint a new Inspector for Jasin District. 
2. It does not make for efficiency to have the Inspector 
reporting now to me and now to the District Officer Jasin. 
3. Your letter contemplates raising the pay-that of Amin 
Dolah*s post is fISO/- p.a. rising by five triennial increments 
to $360/- p.a. 
4. Taking your figures of work done as given under the 
* * 
heading Other Charges- Coconut Inspection in your annual report 
• i 
it would appear that if there is enough fsrxj&uxsxttax work 
for one man in Alor Gajah there is enough for more than two

in the Central Districts. 
Director of Gardens, 
Singapore. 
I have the honour to be, 
Sir, 
Your obedient servant.
