CENSUS OF BARMAIDS
ONLY 220 NOW EMPLOYED. WELLINGTON, This Day. The Department of Labour, whose duty it is to see that barmaids are registered, recently asked the Police Department to take a census of barmaids throughout the Dominion. This census showed that of 1269 barmaids registered when the Act requiring their registration came into operation in 1911, there are now only 220 registered barmaids' working in bars, a few may have been absent from their employment at the time of the census, but they would not increase the number to any extent. It was also found that during the taking of the census there was only one woman employed in a bar who was not in possession of a registration certificate. This census shows that the employment of women in bars has been enormously reduced since 1911.
