TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
We have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the qualifications of Mr. H. M. Finlay, Assoc. M. Inst. C.E., who was Assistant Engineer on the works which were carried out by our firm to supply water from the State of Johore to the Island of Singapore, etc.
These works embraced the construction of a masonry dam to form the Gunong Pulai Reservoir, and two embankments provided with ferro-concrete core walls to form the Pontian Reservoir, together with aqueduct, filters, service reservoir, and a large pumping station. All the chief engineering works were carried out by direct administration, contractors being employed on the aqueduct only.
Mr. Finlay joined the staff in August, 1927, and acted as Assistant Engineer from that date til February, 1932, under the instructions of the Chief Resident Engineer, Mr. G. B. Gifford Hull, M. Inst., C.E.
He was employed on the construction of the two Reservoirs, Filter House and Pumping Station, and obtained a wide experience, having sole charge of the work under Mr. Hull towards its completion.
Mr. Finlay proved himself to be an excellent engineer, competent, energetic and reliable, and we regret that we have no works at present which we could place under his charge.
(Signed) SIR ALEX. BINNIE, SON & DEACON.
