+Projek pembersihan Sungai Langat untuk laluan trafik, bermula dari Rekoh ke hilirnya. Ketika ini Sungai Langat masih lagi merupakan jalan pengangkutan utama bagi kawasan pedalaman. Pada mulanya [[https://bangi.pulasan.my/j_a_g_campbell|J.A.G. Campbell]] (majistret daerah Ulu Langat) meluluskan pembersihan dari Rekoh ke kawasan Kuala Labu dengan kos $1000 (di bawah tanggungan kedua-dua daerah Ulu dan Kuala Langat), pada 23 Mei 1885. Projek ini bakal dijalankan oleh seorang kontraktor bernama "Haji Tahir" (Mungkinkah merujuk Haji Tahir yang sama?). Namun setelah perbincangan yang agak panjang, pada 1 Ogos 1885 kos tersebut dikurangkan dari $1000 kepada $750, oleh sebab kekangan peruntukan kewangan oleh pihak pentadbiran British. Berikutan dengan itu, skop pembersihannya turut dikurangkan, pada mulanya dari Rekoh ke Kuala Semenyih, kemudian dilanjutkan sedikit, dari Rekoh ke Simpang Ampat. Menurut kontrak, kerja-kerja akan bermula pada 15 Ogos 1885 (PEJABAT SETIAUSAHA KERAJAAN NEGERI SELANGOR, 23/05/1885: {{ :arkib:19570004237d02.pdf ||}}[[http://ofa.arkib.gov.my/ofa/collection/asset/14250|"ABOUT HADJI TAHIR, UNDERTAKING A CONTRACT FOR CLEARING THE LANGAT RIVER FROM REKO; TO AS FAR AS IT REQUIRES CLEARING, DOWN STREAM"]]). \\

+===== 1887: Pembukaan Ladang Kopi Pertama di Lembah Klang =====
+//"**How It Began At Klang.** \\
+\\
+An old Resident's report gives exact details of the beginning of coffee in Selangor, and it is striking as showing that the credit for that enterprise must go to a Javanese and not to a European. This report says : \\
+\\
+'In 1887 Haji Mohamed Tahir, a Javanese, known in pre-Residential times us the Penghulu Dagang, or headman of the foreign settlers, obtained an advance of $4,000 from the Government, he being the owner of 95 acres of land, now held on customary tenure, and 700 acres under lease or agreement, and commenced planting up with arecanut palms, durians, mangosteens and coconuts. The demand for, and consequently the price of, areca-nuts has of recent years been much depressed, and the cultivation is no longer a paying one in Selangor. \\
+\\
+'In several places many acres of fine areca palms have now been cut down to make room for Liberian coffee, but the way was shown by Haji Mat Tahir, who, with extraordinary energy for a native, has drained his land and planted up a portion with coffee, which has proved so successful that he has been able to cut up most of his land into b!ocks, averaging from three to five acres, which he sublets at 50 cents an acre for coffee gardens to Chinese and foreign Malays........ The result has been that applications for coffee land are coming in rapidly from Europeans, Chinese and natives, and the quit-rent for the district has been raised from 25 to 50 cents an acre for coffee estates."//

+**Kiri**: Kedai kopi Cina di Selangor: //"This is a typical coffee store on a Chinese small holding in Selangor. The berries are first dried in the sun, passed through a de-husking machine, then through a winnowing machine to remove the outer covering substances, and finally roasted. The cycle of operations takes about a week. A great part of this Chinese coffee is consumed in the coffee-shops which are a familiar feature of every Malayan town."// \\
+**Tengah**: Bunga kopi Liberia: //"This is a fine photograph of the Liberian coffee flower. which is highly scented, making a walk over a coffee estate in the early morning a delightful experience. Another variety of low-country coffee which is not illustrated in these pictures is Robusta. This grows well in Malaya and is more popular with European consumers."// \\
+**Kanan**: Pokok kopi Liberia dalam kebun Cina berdekatan Serdang: //"This specimen of the Liberian coffee bush was photographed on a Chinese holding near Serdang. Large European estates in Malaya were planted with this crop thirty years ago."//
