It is bounded on the north by the Mandeville and Rangiora district; on the west by the West Eyreton district; and on the south and east by the Waimakariri river and the borough of Kaiapoi. Its ratable value in 1892, was £439,259, on which a rate of 5/8d was levied. The district has about 100 miles of formed and metalled roads: and several large bridges, up to 300 feet long, are also maintained by the board. Members for 1902: Messrs J. Wright (chairman), R. Evans, T. Skevington, F. Kelly, F. Moore. Mr R. M. Wright is clerk and treasurer. The board possesses first-class offices, and a residence for the clerk in Ohoka township.
