BUSINESSMEN'S INTERESTS
WITH the close of the first month of the New Year, the time is fast approaching for the re-formation of the Whaka,tane Chamber of Commerce. There could be no greater example of the crying need for such a body as the town of Whakatane offers. Grown beyond all recognition, it is hard for residents of even a short period to realise that it is the same centre in which they first decided to settle. In fact there has been a positive danger in this very expansion, for the ordinary facilities enjoyed by most country towns have likewise been, outgrown and in many cases left far behind.
