Second Annual Report, 



Gentlemen, 



Your Committee have pleasure in submitting to you their Report 

 on the work done by the Association during the past year ending 

 February 29th, 1908. 



During this period four ordinary General Meetings and three 

 special General Meetings were held. 



Membership. This has been increased by two new Estates having 

 joined, the Association during the year and one individual member, 

 while one individual member resigned. The total membership now being 

 Estates 16, individual members 2 (26 votes). Your Committee record 

 with regret the sudden death of your Honorary Secretary, Mr. C. N. 

 Brockwell, who had done excellent work for your Association. Your 

 sympathy with his bereaved relatives has been conveyed to them. 



Committee. The undermentioned gentlemen were elected on April 

 19th, 1907, as your Committee : Mr. H. M. Darby, Chairman, C. N. 

 Brockwell, Secretary, with Messrs. Hamerton, Harvey, and Hickey. 

 On the untimely death of Mr. Brockwell, Mr. G. V. L. Scott was elect- 

 ed secretary and continued to act until the end of the year. 



Bridge over the River at Klang. Your Committee are pleased to 

 note that very satisfactory progress is being made with this bridge, 

 and it is expected to be completed by the end of the year. 



Water supply for the Kapar and Sungei Binjai Boads. Your 

 Committee regret that this matter has been delayed owing to the death 

 of the surveyor in whose hands the survey of the pipe line was placed. 

 The survey had been practically completed, but the plans could not be 

 found after his death, so your Committee decided to have the line 

 resurveyed. This work has been given to Mr. W. J. Grove, Surveyor, 

 who is resurveying the pipe-line and will give full plans of this and a 

 general scheme for a water supply for putting before Government. 

 The cost of this including the monies paid on account of the unfinished 

 survey, will be about $1,500 which is to be met by an Assessment to 

 be paid by those Estates which will benefit by the scheme. It is 

 hoped that the plans will be ready by the middle of April. 



Land Bents. His Excellency the Governor has now been pleased 

 to reduce the rents on lands for cultivation other than rubber, under 

 the Land Enactment of 1906, from $4 to $2. 



Shop Houses at Kapar. In continuance of this subject from last 

 year a letter has been received from the District Officer, Klang, that 

 all further shop houses at Kapar will be built on the town-site as 

 requested by your Association. Your Committee also note with satis- 

 faction that the town of Kapar has been placed under the control of 

 the Klang Sanitary Board. 



Post Office at Kapar. In accordance with a resolution passed at 

 a meeting of your Association on November 21st, 1907, your Secretary 

 wrote to the Superintendent Posts and Telegraphs on this subject and 

 a reply has been received to the effect that a Postal and Money Order 

 Office is to be built at Kapar during the current year.
