Deport for 1907-1908. 
Gentlemen, 
Your Committee have the honour to submit for your consideration 
the First Annual Report of the Batu Tiga District Planters Association , 
Meetings. 
Since the formation of this Association there have been one 
general, and two committee meetings. Your four delegates to the 
P. A. M. have attended the two meetings held since the formation of 
that body, voting amongst other things for the abolition of Sunday 
Names, and are glad to report that all Sunday names will be done 
away with from July 1st. 
Hospitals. 
This matter has engaged a great deal of attention during the year, 
and has been taken up in a very whole-hearted manner by your sister 
Association —the Batu Tiga Estates Hospital Ass'n. The whole set 
of buildings, — wards, kitchens, dressers, bungalows, etc., etc., are now 
nearly ready for occupation, and were very favourably commented on 
by the Resident General, who recently visited them. 
Labour. 
The number of coolies arriving from the coast has, on most 
estates, been short of requirements, but it is thought that the Govern- 
ment Immigrant Scheme will prove a great help in furnishing estates 
with sufficient labour. 
General. 
In all, 13 estates have enrolled in the Association, with a total 
of close on 20,000 Acres. 
(Signed) C. Henly, 
Chairman,
