recruiting, the principal items being trainfare of 
emigrants from their homes to the ports of Negapatam 
and Madras and their feeding in the Emigration Camps 
at these places while awaiting shipment, passages from 
Madras or Negapatam to the Straits, the expenses of 
quarantine on arrival at Penang, Port Swettenham or 
Singapore, transport thence to their places of employ- 
ment in Malaya and the payment of recruiting 
allowances' to the employers by whose Agents they had 
been recruited. 
These Agents known as Kanganies are sent over by 
individual employers to recruit for their particular 
places of employment and receive remuneration in the 
form" of commission from these employers. The 
recruiting allowance paid to the employer is intended 
to recoup him for this expenditure and other incidental 
costs not met from the Fund.

Government and the Fund have been revised and 
the expenses of administration, the steamer subsidy, 
the maintenance of the Emigration Camps and all 
expenditure that can be considered to come under 
the head of recruitment as distinguished from 
“ protection ” have been transferred to the Fund.
