TOURIST TRAFFIC
SOUTH ISLAND AND TASMANIA By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, April 5. Mr J. M. Fisher, of Hobart, who has been appointed by the Tasmanian Government as trade commissioner in the South Island has already commenced duties. While on a visit to Christchurch today, Mr Fisher announced that he had decided to make his permanent headquarters in Dunedin. In an interview, he said that his duties were to investigate the possibilities of extending the tourist traffic between the South Island and Tasmania, the development of trade generally, and to inquire into the prospects of bringing about an improved shipping service between the South Island and Hobart. In exchange for blood and bone manures, agricultural seeds and certain classes of wool, and New Zealand pine, Tasmania offered hardwoods, wattle bark, carbide and red granite. Mr Fisher said that from the tourist point of view, both Tasmania and the South Island had much toff er, and by mutual understanding could derive considerable revenue from an improved service for tourists.
