in Kuala Lumpur, and the surveys of the district are in the 

 bands of a District Surveyor. 



The main trunk road turns west and south through 

 Cheras and Kajang, the chief town of Ulu Langat; a branch 

 of this road turns off 2 or 3 miles out of Kuala Lumpur to 

 the flourishing mining town of Sungei Besi. To the south 

 a road runs through Kuchai and Puehong, turning off to 

 the west to Klang, keeping on the south of the river, and to 

 the east through Ayer Itam and Kajang. To the north- 

 east, over the Ginting-Bidai Pass, a road joining Kuala 

 Lumpur with Bentong in Pahang is on the verge of com- 

 pletion. There is a second road to Klaug, keeping, after 

 Batu Tiga, on the north bank of the river, and joining the 

 Klang-Kuala Seiangor road opposite Klang town. In a 

 north-westerley direction a road goes through Kepong, to 

 be carried on to Kuang, while another is being traced from 

 Kepong to Damansara. Both the roads to Klang and the 

 branch railway line to Port Swettenham rim through rub- 

 ber estates for a considerable distance. 



There is no large amount of land available in this dis- 

 trict, possibly 10,000 acres in all ; on the Damansara road to 

 Klang, 6th and 8th miles, there is about 1 ,000 acres, and the 

 Kepong-Damansara trace will open up 4,000 acres, between 

 the 10th and 11th miles; on the Rawang road, about 1,500 

 acres, and on the Pahang road, from the 8th mile, about 

 2,000 acres may be found : this is in the main high land. 



Ulu Langat. 



Ulu Langat is the last of the inland districts of Se- 

 langor, bordering on the Negri Sembilan. Kajang — the 

 principal town — is on the main trunk road and railway, 

 with a Land Office under charge of the District Officer, with 

 whom is an Assistant District Officer, and a District Survey 

 Office. The railway from Kuala Lumpur passes through 

 Sungei Besi and Serdang to Kajang, thence south towards 

 Seremban ; the main road from Kuala Lumpur passes 

 through the mining village of Cheras; after Kajang, the 

 road takes a more easterly route than the railway, passing 

 through Semenyih and crossing the State boundary at 

 Beranang. In addition to this road there is the road from 

 Kajang through Ayer Itam to Kuala Lumpur already 

 mentioned, and another to the mining village of Rekok. 

 There is considerable activity in planting in this district. 



Available land, some 2,000 acres, is to be found between 

 the 25th and 26th miles, on the main road between Semenyih
