I. The Notice convening the Meeting having been read, Mr. 
Gumming says, that before proceeding with the business of Meeting 
he must say a few words with regard to the untimely death of Mr. 
W. W. Bailey. As they were all aware, he was for some years chair- 
man of this Association and he was a splendid planter, a good sports- 
man and a good friend, and he did not hesitate to say that partly 
owing to his unswerving faith in the prospects ot plantation rubber 
many of them by the force of his example were encouraged to go on 
planting up. He felt sure they would all join with him to-day in 
recording the great sympathy they felt for Mrs. Bailey, in her 
bereavement. The Secretary had already telegraphed to her the 
condolences of the Planters’ Association of Malaya. 
Mr. E. B. Prior says that there had been a suggestion to hold a 
memorial service for Mr. Bailey, and he had discussed the matter 
with the Rev. P. G. Graham, but in view of the fact that the majority 
of Mr. Bailey’s old friends had left the country it had seemed that it 
would be somewhat out of place. It was felt that as Mr. Bailey was 
the pioneer planter at Klang, it would be appropriate that there 
should be a memorial in Klang, and the Chaplain had suggested 
placing a pulpit in Klang Church. 
Mr, Gumming seconds this proposal.
