| Pada Oktober 1910, Cromlix Rubber Estate and Produce Syndicate Limited telah mengambil alih sebidang tanah seluas 2,082 ekar bersebelahan Kinrara Estate, dan dinamakan sebagai Bukit Jalil Estate: //"The report of the Cromlix Rubber Estate and Produce Syndicate, Limited, for the period to December 31, states that for reasons already fully set forth in the circulars of September 14, and October 10, 1910, it was only then that the directors were able to acquire a property which they had confidence in recommending to the shareholders. This property is now called Bukit Jalil, and consists of 2,082 acres. It adjoins the Ledbury Company's Kinrara estate at Pataling, and is thus situated in one of the best known districts. With as little delay as possible a manager was appointed, and he took over charge on October 17, 1910. The directors decided to open up 250 acres at once and felling was started on October 26. This work was finished by February 10."// (The Straits Budget, 27 April 1911, Page 6: {{ :akhbar:straitsbudget19110427-1-2-78-28.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitsbudget19110427-1.2.78.28|"RUBBER RESULTS.

| Penghargaan kepada Mr. Gibson (yang mula mengusahakan pembukaan ladang) dan Mr. MacAndrew (yang mengurusnya sejak mula): //"Mr. Gibson, who originally secured Bukit Jalil property for us, and who planned its opening, is a substantial share holder in the syndicate. ... A special vote of thanks is due to our agents in Kuala Lumpur, and to our very energetic manager Mr. MacAndrew. He has stuck to his post ever since he went to the estate, and when one bears in mind that in short space of three years we have opened up practically 700 acres of land, have made the necessary roads, drains, etc., have build two bungalows, coolie lines and a good hospital, it will be seen that there has been no time lost."// | Penghargaan kepada Mr. Gibson (yang mula mengusahakan pembukaan ladang) dan Mr. MacAndrew (yang mengurusnya sejak mula): //"Mr. Gibson, who originally secured Bukit Jalil property for us, and who planned its opening, is a substantial share holder in the syndicate. ...

Wilkinson was appointed manager in succession to Mr. MacAndrew, who left for another appointment. Mr. Wilkinson gives promise of successful management, and the directors have every hope he will carry out his duties to his own credit and their satisfaction. In conclusion, I have no reason to alter the opinion expressed by me at our last annual meeting - namely, that this fine estate, Bukit Jalil, efficiently opened and economically worked, should prove a very satisfactory investment, even if rubber does not advance beyond present prices."// | Pengurus pertamanya, Mr. MacAndrew, telah berpindah, dan digantikan oleh Mr. H.B.

| Laporan lawatan Mr. D.K. Michie dari Klanang Estate mengatakan semua pokok sihat, dan di kelompok yang tertua, telah pun sedia untuk penorehan: //"Condition of the Estate Mr. D.K. Michie said that the chairman had really told the meeting all there was to say about the property. He could, however, say that he had visited the estate as recently as February last and had passed through all the clearings, every one of which showed very good growth for its age. In the oldest clearings - in which the growth was very fine, especially in the lower parts and the hollows and ravines - there was a large number of trees ready for tapping, and arrangements were being made at the time of his visit to commence the work as soon as the trees had put on fresh foliage after the wintering season. From next year onwards the increase in the yield of latex should be very rapid, and, as the world was apparently able easily to absorb the increased production of rubber from the Middle East, he thought that the prospects of the shareholders in the company left very little to be desired. He might add that the impression which the estate manager, Mr. H. B. Wilkinson, had made on him was that he was a man capable of doing full justice to his charge."// | Laporan lawatan Mr. D.K.

He had to work single-handed much longer than was intended, but we found it exceedingly difficult to get him suitable assistance.
