PROVINCIAL STATUS

SOUGHT BY POVERTY BAY AND EAST COAST [ Per Press Association. ] GISBORNE, Oct. 19. The Gisborne Chamber of Commerce to-day discussed the question of the security of provincial status for the Poverty Bay and 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 Auckland Province as 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 for Poverty Bay and East Coast.
