A.S

es Superintendent of the Botanis Gardens, Your Lordship will find that it was duly reported by me in my despatch N. 116 of the 2nd of August, 1880. In that despatch I said: "I have practically retained this sum ($1200) on the Estimates by giving Ford, the Superintendent of Gardens and Plantations, $600 and spending the remaining $600 on Chinese Foresters, Clerk and Interpreter and general works" was duly acknowledged. That despatch was approved by Your Lordship 11:93 of 24th December, 1888. Mr. Ford is well turned for $1200. He has earned this personal allowance. His tree-planting is of manifest advantage to the Colony.

6. Looking to the terms of the Merchant Shipping Ordinance, and to the practice elsewhere, I have not subordinated the Department of the Government Marine Surveyor to the Harbour Master's Department.

7. As regards the Normal School, I think the salary Your Lordships suggests, $1680 should be sufficient for the Head Master instead of $2,400. Pending the receipt of the further report called for, I have recommended Your Lordship to allow the vote to be expended on the reduced scale.
