rubbish coolies are picking rubbish on the Plantation Road and

every morning a lot of cabbage leaves can be seen on Plantation Road between his house and Barker Road, Trem Station at this time Mr. R. O. Hutchison was the Head of the Sanitary Department, who at the same time ordered the scavenging contractor to engage 15 extra workmen at his own expenses to carry out his contract properly, and since that time till the end of that contract the work went on very well, and on the last conservancy contract had to pay 80 cents to the scavenging coolies for removing night soil dumped at Hillside by his coolies near No. 66 Mt. Kellet Road.

As the Hill District is reserved District for European gentlemen to keep it clean, in this long, steep and shelterless District I have been doing as much work as foremen do, as at first I supervised conservancy coolies work, then of rubbish coolies work and then the scavenging of the roads of the Peak District, which I covered about 30 or 40 miles a day, and during last 8 years no complaint of absence from duty &c has been made against me.

I know very well that many Sanitary foremen and other employees have been departmentally fined or punished several times for neglect of their duties &c. and still are working at their posts. But my dismissal has been recommended at the first occasion, on the false and concocted charges, which have been brought illegally and after the elapse of about 15 days from the dates mentioned on the charges, as the Sanitary Department is a Government Department and its offices are open daily to deal with the daily occurrence but it has not been done in my case.

Jealousy and ignorance of the present Head of Sanitary Department with the Peak Watchman.

As soon as the present scavenging contractors started to work on the Peak about the 1st January 1910, his new coolies committed so many breaches daily by dumping the refuse at hillside and I reported them according to my duties, instead of punishing the contractor for the breaches of his contract, the Head of Sanitary
