The Economic Gardens in Singapore were taken over by the Raffles 
College Committee in the latter part of the year, and clearing of building 
sites was begun. No further revenue from the rubber trees will therefore 
be obtained. 
EXPENDITURE. 
In Singapore there were balances remaining on all votes with the 
exception of that for coolies. The total balance on all votes at Penang 
amounted to $28.66. 
WEATHER. 
In Singapore the weather was normal, except for *l^ry heavy rains at 
the beginning of January, and for a pronounced dry period in the middle of 
the year. The rainfall for the month of July was only i' 56 inches. The 
total rainfall for the year was rather above the average, being I2i'40 inches 
in the Gardens. 
In Penang the total rainfall was 171*36 inches, an unusually high figure, 
largely due to the very heavy rain in October, the total for which month was 
4573 inches. During six days (October 4th to 9th) 32'14 inches of rain were 
recorded. Though this caused considerable flooding of the stream, little 
damage was done to the banks owing to various protective works carried out 
during the year. 
BUILDINGS. 
In Singapore three new quarters for subordinate staff were built, adjacent 
to the Tamil cooly lines. Extensive repairs to the woodwork of the large 
plant house were carried out by the P. W. D. 
In Penang repairs were made to several of the plant houses, both by 
the Gardens staff and the P. W. D.
