The Lethbridge Town Board

The Lethbridge Town Board is the local body that governs the district, extending from the Turakina River to the Makirikiri Stream, and including in its boundaries the township of Turakina. It was established about 1876 and named after its much respected chairman, who has held that office for most of the time. The annual value of the rateable properties of the district is £1581, the rate being 8d in the £. The population of the district, as ascertained at the census of 1896, is 251. The members of the Board for the same year were:—Messrs. G. Y. Lethbridge, J.P. (chairman), R. N. Scannell, A. McDonald, G. Franklin, and D. S. Glasgow; Mr. R. J. Knox is the secretary.
