ASSISTED PASSAGES.
Revised particulars of the conditions governing the granting of reducedrate passages to immigrants for New Zealand have been issued by the Department of Immigration. The rates available on direct steamers only from England are:—Second class, £27 (full fare, £3S) ; third class (two-berth cabin), £l2 (full fare, £21); third class (four-berth cabin, £lO (full fare, £l9. These assisted passages are available to domestic servants and agriculturists nominated by persons resident in the Dominion. The High Commissioner in London is authorised to grant passages at reduced rates to persons engaged in agricultural pursuits if the applicant will be possessed of a capital of £25 upon arrival in the Dominion. Domestic servants may also obtain from the High Commissioner passages at reduced fares. Agrkulttirisls, whether nominated or not, are only given passages so that they may arrive in the. Dominion during summer months. The new conditions strongly emphasise the fact that persons in a delicate state of health should not be nominated, as passages at reduced rates will not be granted to them.
