PROVINCIAL STATUS
WANTED BY POVERTY BAY [By Telegraph—Press Association! GISBORNE, 29th October. The Gisborne Chamber of Commerce to-day discussed the question of securing provincial status for the Poverty Bay and the East Coast district. 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 opinion 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 establishment of a separate province of Poverty Bay and East Coast.
