Better facilities for landing passengerJ. promptly on arrival of steamers at Gishorncj irrespective of the state of tlio tide, are wanted: by the Gisborne Chamber of Commerce. An' & recent meeting of the body Mr. Bourgeois in| troditced the matter, and said that it ap.f peared to him that the chamber had beenf a little dilatory. It was not right to expects passengers to wait sometimes six or seven* hours after the arrival ot a steamer before! they could get ashore. An oil launch, carry! ing 50 or CO passengers, would get over the! ■ trouble. He suggested that the Chamber :ip| pronch the Union Company with a view lot seeing what. could be done. The presents method, Mr. Bourgeois concluded, was a farcef: and the port a laughing stock all over New* Zealand. It was decided to set lip a com! inittee to wait on the Union Company |'.'
