PROVINCIAL STATUS DESIRED
t * (By Telegraph—Press Association.) GISBORNE, October 19. The Gisborne Chamber of Commerce today discused the question of securing provincial status for the Poverty Bay and East Coast districts. It was pointed out that the district had been declared a separate province for the centennial celebrations and members urged that an effort be made to have this status retained. Mr. H. H. de Costa expressed the opinon that it would be best to break away from the Auckland Province. It would be the best thing Poverty Bay could do. It was decided to write to the Minister of Internal Affairs to ascertain what steps should be taken for the es- " tablishment of a separate province of Poverty Bay and East Coast.
