The Director of the Immigration Bureau states, in connection with the reported difficulty of placing the Anglo. Indians, sent by Captain Holden, that no trouble exists so far as the Government system ,is concerned. On Monday 339 assisted immigrants landed from the steamers Orvieto and Marathon, all of whom were placed on farms before nightfall, at th 6 -highest rates- of wages. The State could absorb increased shipments of skilled agricultural immigrants. The bureau found work for a number of Captain Holden’s Anglo-Indians. The trouble over the
others is their unfitness for, or unwillingness to take, the work offering.
