THE EMIGRANTS’ INFORMATION OFFICE.
It is satisfactory to know that government has at last opened an office for the dissemination of authentic information to intending emigrants. The emigration schemes before the country are legion; but those who apply here will be safe to receive information as to the British colony to which they propose to emigrate, which does not spring from any interested motive. At the same time it is always safe for intending settlers to supplement any knowledge received in this way by authoritative handbooks, books of travel, and the experiences of former settlers. Now that there is a prospect of the Indian and Colonial Exhibition becoming a permanent institution in our midst, we will be kept pretty well informed as to the position and prospects of our different colonies. The premises of the Emigrants’ Information Office are at 31 Broadway, Westminster, London, S.W. The office will be open every day from twelve noon to eight P.M., except on Wednesdays, when it will be open from ten A.M. to one P.M. The circulars issued by the office will be sent to the secretaries of any societies or institutions who will send in their addresses to the chief clerk.
