"BOOSTING" POVERTY BAY.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE PROPOSAL.
©ISBORNE, Last Night.
At the Gh&mV'.r '-f Commerce this afternoon, ill© President (Mr J. W. Bright) commented in favourable terms on the "boosting" methods employed in America to advertise different towns and districts and advocated a similar plan for Gisborne if the Chamber had funds. Hue discussion generally deprecated the disparaging remarks made as to Gisborne's isolated condition, which led outsiders to believe that the town was inaccessible. It was stated, that during the past five years; only two steamers had been unable to call at the port. The matter will be further discussed at next meeting with a view to arrive at a scheme to ''boost" Poverty Bay. ■'■'■.' : ,
