Surveyors in separate charge of the survey work of each 

 district, all such work being concentrated in the Seremban 

 and Coast districts. It is expected that the surveys will 

 very shortly be sufficiently advanced to admit of District 

 Offices being opened at Kuala Pi 1 all and Tamp in. Port 

 Dickson, in the Coast district, is the port of the State: 

 steamers call almost every day from Singapore, and on 

 Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays from Port Swettenham for 

 Malacca and Singapore. 



Seremban. 



Seremban is bounded on the west by Selangor ; north 

 by Jelebu; south by the Coast district ; and east by Kuala 

 Pilah and Tampin. The land work of this district is in the 

 hands of the Collector and Assistant Collector of Land 

 Revenue, who are, respectively, Registrar and Deputy 

 Registrar of Titles for the whole State; the head office of 

 the Revenue Survey Department is at Seremban. 



North of Seremban, lying on either side of the Serem- 

 ban-Broga road, there are 6,000 acres of undulating or hilly 

 land: this is probably the only part where any road front- 

 age could be obtained. 



In the Setui-Labu divisions, served by the main trunk 

 road and railway, lying at some little distance from 

 either, 13,000 acres of similar land could be selected. East- 

 ward, near Seremban-Kuala Pilah road, the land is of a 

 somewhat hilly character, but 3,000 acres of good land could 

 be found, and further areas to the south, not far from the 

 Seremban-Port Dickson railway, will be brought within 

 reach by the new Membau-Lukut road. 



In this district some 12,000 acres are being planted up 

 with rubber, and applications for 10,000 acres more are in 

 course of survey. 



Jelebu. 



This, a small district, is bounded on the south and west 

 by tile Seremban district; north by Pahang; west by Ulu 

 La n gat district of Selangor; and south and east by the 

 Kuala Pilah district. Kuala Klawang — the head-quarters, 

 where the District Officer is stationed — is about 25 miles 

 from Seremban, the road crossing the hill range at Bukit 

 Tangga at a height of about 300 ft. A short road runs 

 northwards to Titi and the Kenaboi mine, and the Serem- 

 ban i-oad is continued in an easterly direction through Per- 

 tang till it joins the new road from Kuala Pilah to Bentong
