The Secretary reads the following letter : — 



Kapar District Planters' Association. 

 Secretary, Klang, July 6th, 191 1. 



Planters' Association of Malaya, 

 Kuala Lumpur. 



Dear sir. 



At a Meeting of the Members of my Association I was requested 

 to write and ask you to put on the Agenda of your next Meeting the 

 re-lighting of bullock carts and slow moving vehicles as it was in the 

 opinion of the Members likely that serious accidents would happen if 

 this was not brought into force. The idea was that each bullock cart 

 and slow moving vehicle such as rickshas, steam rollers, transport 

 waggons, transport motors, and gharries should all be ordered to 

 carry a red light situated so that the tail end of their load could be 

 •easily seen. Government has already been approached on the matter 

 but seemingly no notice was taken. 



I have, &c., 



E. P. HOV^ARD, 



Hon. Secretary. 



The chairman suggests that the reply be that it would be better 

 if the Kapar Association or any other association interested wrote to 

 the Motor Union and asked them to take the matter up. It 

 would come better from that body than the P.A.M. 



Mr. Cruickshank says he takes it that this Association is not in 

 ■sympathy with it. 



The Chairman says no he does not think that at all. The 

 Association can express sympathy with it, but the Motor Union may 

 probably be able to get more in this way from the Government than 

 the P.A.M. It is decided eventually to write to the Motor Union 

 and ask them to act. 



The Secretary reads the following correspondence : — 



Census No 87/191 1. 



Superintendent of Census Office, 

 Sir, Kuala Lumpur, May, 191 1. 



I have the honour to forward herewith 20 copies of a return 

 giving the provisional totals of the population of the estates in the 

 Federated Malay States by sex and race. 



I have, &c., 



A. M. POUNTNEY, 



Superintendent of Census, 



Federated Malay States. 



The Secretary, 



Planters' Association of Malaya, 

 Kuala Lumpur.
