GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
25th. October, 1911.
I have the honour to forward for your consideration the enclosed copy of a minute dated the 14th. instant by the Superintendent of the Botanical and Forestry Department and to request your authority to expend $1,000 on forming a garden in the grounds surrounding the island quarters occupied by the District Officer and Assistant District Officer for the Northern District of the New Territories. At present the wilderness behind these quarters is a positive eyesore and a breeding-place for mosquitoes, and I do not think that Government grounds should be permitted to remain in such a state.

It will, as Mr. Tutcher points out, be necessary to appoint a Chinese gardener at $144 per annum to look after the grounds, and I propose that the salary of the gardener should be added to the house-rent payable by the two Officers who for the time being are actually in residence in the island quarters; each of them would, therefore, be charged an
extra 86 per mensem on this account. Mr. E. R. Hallifax, the
substantive District Officer, and Mr. G. H. Orme, who will
shortly go out to Taipo as Acting District Officer, are both
