in Kuala Lumpur, and the surveys of the district are in the 
hands of a District Surveyor. 
The main trunk road turns west and south through 
Clieras and Kajang, the chief town of Ulu Langat; a branch 
of this road turns off 2 or 3 miles out of Kuala Lumpur to 
the flourishing mining town of 8 angel Besi. To the south 
a road runs through Kuchai and Puchong, turning off to 
the west to Klang, keeping on the south of the river, and to 
the east through Ayer Itam and Kajang, To the north- 
east, over the Glinting- Bidai Pass, a road joining Kuala 
Lumpur with Ben tong in Pahang is on the verge of com- 
pletion. There is a second road to Klang, keeping, after 
Batu Tiga, on the north bank of the river, and joining the 
Klang- Kuala Selangor road opposite Klang town. In a 
north-westerley direction a road goes through Kepong, to 
be carried on to Kuang, while another is being traced from 
Kepong to Damansara. Both the roads to Klang and the 
branch railway line to Port Bwettenham run through rub- 
ber estates for a considerable distance. 
There is no large amount of land available in this dis- 
trict, possibly 10,000 acres in all ; on the Damansara road to 
Klang, 6th and 8th miles, there is about 1,000 acres, and the 
Kepong’- Daman sara trace "will open up 4,000 acres, between 
the 10th and 11th miles; on the Rawang road, about 1,500 
acres, and on the Pahang road, from the 8th mile, about 
2,000 acres may be found : this is in the main high land.

principal town — is on the main trunk road and railway, 
with a Land Office under charge of the District Officer, with 
whom is an Assistant District Officer, and a District Survey 
Office. . The railway from Kuala Lumpur passes through 
Sungei Besi and Serdang to Kajang, thence south towards 
Seremban; the main road from Kuala Lumpur passes 
through the mining village of Cheras; after Kajang, the 
road takes a more easterly route than the railway, passing 
through Semenyili and crossing the State boundary at 
Beranang. In addition to this road there is the road from 
Kajang through Ayer Itajn to Kuala Lumpur already 
mentioned, and another to the mining village of Rekok. 
There is considerable activity in planting in this district. 
Available land, some 2,000 acres, is to be found between 
the 25th and 26th miles, on the main road between Semenyih
