THE SECRETARY OF STATE to THE HIGH COMMISSIONER.
(No. 73.) SIR,
[Answered by No. 90.]
Downing Street, 11 June, 1909. I HAVE the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your despatch, No. 65, of the 27th of April, transmitting copies of the report of the Commission appointed to enquire into the working of the irrigation reservoirs in the Messaoria.
2. I approve of the proposal to incur an expenditure of £1,000 on the engineer- ing ("economic ") works which are held to be necessary; the expense to be spread over a period of two years. I hope at an early date to receive your recommendations with regard to the "hygienic" proposals of the Commissioners; and I trust that those recommendations will include suggestions for removing, as far as possible, the sources of malaria which appear from the report to exist in several cases in or near the villages (as, for instance, in the case of Kalopsyda) quite apart from the irrigation works. It should be considered whether the villages might not reasonably be required to find part, if not the whole, of the cost of the latter class of improve- ment, the expense of which cannot be heavy, and for which the Island Government is not directly responsible, as in the case of the irrigation works.

Treasury Chambers, 16th June, 1909. THE Lords Commissioners of His Majesty's Treasury have carefully con- sidered your letter of the 10th instant (13564/1909),* further respecting the annual contribution payable from Imperial Funds to the Tropical Diseases Research Fund. In view of the information now furnished by the Earl of Crewe, my Lords will no longer refuse to authorise a continuance of the Imperial grant at the increased rate of £1,000 per annum for a period of five years from 1st April next.
My Lords note that the Indian Government has been approached with a view to obtaining an annual contribution of £1,000 to be devoted to expanding the Sleeping Sickness Bureau into a Bureau for all Tropical Diseases. They will be glad to be informed in due course of the result of this appeal.

Downing Street, 21 June, 1909.
I AM directed by the Earl of Crewe to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 8th March† addressed to Mr. Read, asking for a grant of £100 a year from the Tropical Diseases Research Fund towards the expenses of the Quick Laboratory. 2. In reply, I am to inform you that your request was brought before the Tropical Diseases Research Fund Advisory Committee at their meeting of the 8th June, and that they have recommended to the Secretary of State, and that Lord Crewe has approved, a grant of £100 to you for the present year. The Crown Agents for the Colonies have been instructed to issue the sum to you on your applica- tion for it.
3. Lord Crewe would be glad if you would be so good as to furnish not later than the 1st November, for the information of the Advisory Committee and for publication in their Annual Report, which is laid before Parliament, a summary of the work done at the Laboratory. This report Lord Crewe considers valuable, as indicating to the Colonial Governments by whose contributions the fund is sup- ported the nature of the work which is being done with the assistance of the grants made from the fund.
4. The grant of £100 is made for one year only in accordance with the usual practice in the case of grants from the fund, but it will be open to you to make application for a renewal of the grant. Such application should be made not later than the 1st of November next.
I am, &c.,
