FISH
Sir, —I am g'. : .ad that at last the people of Whakatane are beginning to realise the ridiculous position of the fishing business as it is carried on here. Where we should have ample supplies most of the year we are kept under the screw merely because the same person who holds ,the traw'.ing license holds also a retail license and can enter intc open competition with the very people who are dependent upon him for thei,r only source of supply. No wonder then there are periodic shortages, no wonder then the other retailers who have no method of getting ether supplies are desperate to get a guarantee of steady provisions, and no wonder also that the public, is just about fed up. I for one sincere'^ , hope , that something better will come out of . this publicity and that Whakatane, a town by the sea gets the regular and plentiful iish supply to which it is entitled. • Yours etc., ( J SQUID.7H
