A report of the work done in the district during the past year was read ; also a financial statement showing a balance to the credit of the board of £7 5s 9d. The report and balance-sheet were adopted. Mr Rytner, as chairman of the late board, then retired, and Mr Thomas Jeftares was elected chairman of the meeting. The nomination of a new board was then proceeded with, and the following gentlemen were elected to form the new board :—Messrs G. Kymer, E. Davis, H. Sladen, T. Jeffares, and the Rev, Father Regiaer,

On the recommendation of Mr Rymer, supported by Mr Sladen, it was resolved that a sixpenny rate be struck. Mr Rymer .reported in reference to the stoppage of the road from the Meanee into the new Taradale-road, that he had given Mr Frame a note of hand for £26, to be paid put of the next year's fates, to relinquish all claim to the piece of ground taken by the board for a public road. This action was unanimously endorsed by the board. Messrs W. Anderson and F. S. Anderson were then elected auditors.
