CORRESPONDENCE. 



The Secretary read a letter from the Secretary, R.G.A., relating to 

 the Drainage Assessment. 



WATER SCHEME. 



The Chairman read the particulars of the water scheme and the 

 plan was handed round for inspection. 



Mr. King-Harman wished to know whether the water rate was to 

 be charged by metre or by acre. The Chairman explained that this 

 had not yet been decided on by Government. Mr. King-Harman 

 thought that in the event of rate per acre being fixed upon, only 

 cultivated areas should be charged. The subject being fully discussed 

 the following resolution was proposed by Mr. Bosanquet and seconded 

 by Mr. Hickey : 



"That the proposed water scheme as read out by the Chairman 

 shewing the probable rate per acre as 50 cts. is thoroughly satisfactory 

 and be accepted by this association as such-" Carried. 



The Secretary was instructed to write to the District Officer 

 Klang informing him of the above resolution and that the Members 

 of the Association were writing or cabling to their Agents or 

 Proprietors with the object of having the scheme sanctioned. 



DRAINAGE ENACTMENT. 



The Chairman then made the following resolution : " That 

 Government be approached with the object of having all the road 

 drains and agricultural drains and outlets deepened on the Kapar 

 Road from the 3^ to 14th mile; also that the foundations of all 

 outlets be deepened sufficiently to carry off all estate water. 



" In the event of Government objecting to deepen the road drains 

 that drains of a sufficient size be cut inside the road drain on estate 

 land to answer the same purpose." — Carried.
