I think it better therefore for the Public interests and for all parties if arrangements enabling the Committee to confer with and transact all their business with and through Mr Hardy. The Committee's suggestions must of course, in all cases, have the sanction of the Executive Government and Mr Moorsom is at liberty to offer any observations he pleases on the work suggested or undertaken at the recommendation of the Committee.

MINUTE OF H. E. GOVERNOR SIR RICHARD GRAVES MacDONNELL, K.C.M.G., C.B.
I have desired Mr FORD to call at the Colonial Secretary's Office to-day for instructions.
It must not be supposed that Mr FORD is to take his instructions from or to be controlled by the Garden Committee, which is a body quite unknown to the local constitution, and with no legal permanent authority.
The Committee is supposed to make suggestions to the Governor, who instructs Mr FORD, when he approves the suggestions, to carry them out.
That is and must temporarily be the theory, although in practice, there will not be quite so much round-aboutism or red-tape, as no doubt the Committee generally speaking whilst keeping the Governor informed of their general plans and estimates annually of the expenditure.
