Enclosure in No. 5. Extract from Letter of Immigration Officer at Greymouth. " There is a great want of single women here for domestic servants, and many people would be glad to send for them under the regulations, but most of the residents having come from Australia have no friends in England or on the Continent whom they could appoint to nominate emigrants. I believe that if fifty female servants were landed here they would be engaged at once. AVages are high, ranging from £30 to £100 per annum. I have known several householders who are unable to obtain housemaids although they arc offering £75 per annum. If the Government should think it desirable to send some of this class of immigrants to Greymoulh, I have no doubt I could arrange at once with respectable householders to receive them on landing."
