The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Canterbury Provincial District]

The West Eyreton Road District

The West Eyreton Road District was originally included in the Cust district, from which it was separated about 1872. It is bounded on the east by the Eyreton Road District; on the north by the Cust Road District; on the west by the Oxford Road District; and on the south by the Waimakariri river. The ratable value, in 1902, was £194,154. The board has been fortunate in having a considerable endowment out of the old Provincial Land Fund, which has been sufficient for some years to cover ordinary expenditure. There are sixty miles of formed and metalled roads in the district. Members for 1902: Messrs A. Hunter (chairman), J. Smith, I. Waiting, and H. J. Horrell. Mr. r. M. Wright is clerk and treasurer.
