Western Pest Destruction Board Correspondence Files

This series concerns the correspondence of the Western Pest Destruction Board. The Board was created in 1974 from the amalgamation of the Wanganui, Hunterville and Patea Waitotara Boards. There is a small amount of correspondence prior to 1974 in this series which relates to these earlier Boards. Correspondence files were used to keep a record of the Boards business and activities. A comprehensive sub series has been used by this file system, records are in alphabetical order by subject then a number has been used to describe multiple subjects within that letter then a third number has been used to represent a volume number if required (i.e. A5/1 APDC Correspondence – this is this the first volume of the fifth ‘A’ subject file). Records include financials, estimates, ratepayers correspondence, staff, local government reform, trials and reports.
