Chairman. I2th January, 1912. 



Sitiawan & Dindings PL Association, 



Sitiawan. 



Dear Sir, — Tlie question of affiliating your Association was con 

 sidered at the last Meeting of this Association held on the 7th instant, 

 when I was instructed to inform you that this Association would 

 greatly welcome such affiliation. 



As our financial year closes on the 31st of March, I presume that 

 this matter in any case had better stand over until our Annual 

 General Meeting, which this year will be held on April i8th. We 

 trust Ihtit yourself and as many of your members as possible, will 

 personally attend on that occasion, when I hope some definite steps 

 will be taken. 



Believe me, dear sir, 



Yours faithfully, 



(Sd.) H. C. E. ZACHARIAS, 



Secretary. 



Mr. Hickley proposes and Mr. Quartley seconds that the Malacca 

 Planters' Association be not re-affiliated for one year. 



This motion having been lost, the Malacca Planters' Association 

 is declared re-affiliated amidst applause. 



The Chairman remarks that apparently their Rules made no 

 reference whatever to the affiliation of constituent Associations and 

 suggests that a rule be drawn up by their Lagal Adviser and be 

 placed on the Agenda of the General Meeting.
