I have the honour to forward for the

consideration of your advisers on questions of forestry

the accompanying copy of a menorandum by the Superintendent,

Botanical & Forestry Department, regarding the reorganization

and expansion of the forestry side of his department.

2. The proposals in the memorandum appear to be

sound and worthy of adoption; and to facilitate the

suggested redistribution of the forestry staff I have

included provision in the 1939 draft estimates for

temporary quarters at the plantations for the proposed

forestry protection division.

3.

I should be glad to learn if your forestry

advisers have any comments to make on the Superintendent's

recommendations,

THE RIGHT HONOURABLE

MALOOIM MACDONALD, M.P.

&c., &c., &c.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient, humble servant,

[Gst Mathest

Governor.
