[...] On the whole the climate of Ceylon is tolerable for the tropics ; the accessibility of the hills is a great boon to the dwellers in the plains and a change to the sea is beneficial to those who live in the hills. [...] Sinhalese and Tamil are the two chief vernacular languages in the Island the former being spoken by the Sinhalese who chiefly inhabit the western central and southern portions of the Island and the latter by the Tamils inhabiting the northern and eastern parts and by the immigrant estate population. [...] The Chief Secretary is cx officio Chairman of the Board and there is also a Vice-Chairman elected by the Board from among the Ministers who is the representative of the Board in the Council and is styled the Leader of the State Council. [...] The most important function of the Board of Ministers is the preparation of the annual estimates of revenue and expenditure for the Island and of supplementary estimates of expenditure.
