THE IMMIGRATION BARRACKS.
To the Editor. — J- think the Government should take some action at once to put a atop to the increasing rowdyism that goes on at and near to the Immigration Barracks, day and night, after the arrival of a batch of immigrants. The grounds, whicn are large, and could be made to accommodate at least a thousand people, are not fenced, and the immigrants are allowed to congregate at the hotel opposite, and also block up the road in front of the barracks, and conduct themselves in a most disorderly way—more particularly the late arrivals per Asia. It is high time that strict discipline should be maintained at the barracks, such as—Keeping the immigrants within the grounds ; bo one allowed out after dark; to retire to bed at a fixed hour ; the males and females to be kept separate, and not allowed to mix in the disgraceful way they do at present. If proper regulations are made and eni forced, a very, large number of immigrants can pass through without the slightest inconvenience or annoyance to thy public living in the neighborhood.—l am, &c., a Caversham Resident. Dunedin, April 30
