The Secretary reads the following letter 
Kuala Lumpur, 23rd November, 1911. 
Sir, — I have the honour to inform you that plans are being prepar- 
ed for a quarantine station to supplement the accomodation at Pulau 
Jerejak which has been found to be quite inadequate. It is suggested 
that the site of the new Station should be at Port Swettenham but be- 
fore coming to a final decision on the subject I should like to ascertain 
the views of the Planting Community who are directly interested in 
this matter, and I would suggest that a small Committee of the 
Planters’ Association of Malaya should meet me in consultation with 
52 .
