Rail communication with Bangkok has been maintained since the 1st July, 1918.

The population at the census of 1921 comprised 40,087 persons, of whom 34,165 were Malays and 3,602 Chinese.

For the Mohammedan year 1343 (corresponding partly with 1924) the revenue was $453,452 and expenditure $341,155, as compared with $397,187 and $342,968 in the previous year. With the transference
