Macetown

Macetown stands on the banks of the Arrow river, about eight miles to the north-west of Arrowtown. It is in the Matukituki riding of the Lake county, and in the electoral district of Wakatipu. At the census of 1901, the entire population of the riding was 159; that of the village of Macetown, 113; and there were only five inhabitants at Matukituki, which gives its name to the riding. There is a local post office with a telephone bureau, and mails are received and despatched three times a week. The public school has an average attendance of twenty-nine. Macetown district is devoted almost entirely to mining.
