FISH SUPPLIES
WERE it not for the fact that the regular fish supply to the public of Whakatane was apparently in endangered owing to Government-made regulations, and further that we are approaching the ridiculous position of a town situated on the brink of waters noted for their fishing grounds, we have no doubt but that the Chamber of Commerce«would not have interested itself in the present controversy. The Chamber however takes the broader public view and is not interested in the element of a private feud which apparently has been allowed to enter largely into the subject. All the people of this town want to know is, why are supplies so restricted and why are there not fresh fish available regularly. If there is a legitimate answer to these queries, it will no doubt satisfy all reasonable-minded enquirers, but if there is no answer and the regulations can be held blameworthy, then we say—all power to the Chamber, and the enquiry it has launched in the interests of the townspeople.
