RAILWAY VOTES. After referring in detail to the railway votes, full particulars of which were included in th" forecast telegraphed this morning, the Statement proceeds:— The expenditure during the la?t finan-ci-1 year -m the Wellington-Hutt duplication works was £30.514; new Hutt road, including land for same, £25.468; Auck-land-Pi'nrn-e duplication works, £5476; Addington Rolleston duplication works. £02.jiJ: Dunodin-Mosgiel duplication iuid deviation of line. £Gfi.sl7: total. £140,531. For the current year provision for the duplication work? has been made to the extent of £135.000. namely: Aurklandppnrosf duplication. £1000: WellingtonJlmt duplication. £35,000: Addimrtonduplication, £3000; DunedinMospel duplication, £96,000; total, £135.000. The sum of £228,332 was charged during the year in respect of rolling etock and workshops machinery for the working railways department, and £59.758 in respect of additions to station accommodation, signals and interlocking gear, telegraph and telephone facilities, improving lighting of stations, fencing, stone-crushing anil excavating machines, etc.. making the total charge under the headof "Additions to open lines" £318.090. The cash disbursements amounted to £316,464. The £."IS.OOO allows for the. value of stores ronsiimed* but which were paid for during the previous year. The amount proposed to be. voted for the current year for additions to open lines is £350.000. of which £230.000 is for new rolling stock and workshops machinery, and £25,000 for interlocking signal gear, tablet in-6ta.na-ting. etc. PUBLIC BUILDINGS VOTE. The total expenditure on public buildings last year amounted to £335,114. For the current year votes totalling £413.190 are proposed- Provision is made for the completion of the new Government House, and a substantial item on account of the erection of the proposed new part building?, also for departmental buildings in Hamilton. Gisborne, and other places, the total vote proposed under the general hfading being £50,000. The plans for the new sfagistrate's Court at Auckland are well in hand, but some minor details still remain to be settled. Votes are asked for buildings at Kaikohe, Auckland, TaAimarunui, Opotiki. and other places, and for additions at Hamilton and Gisborne, and for converting the police station at Warfcwortn into a Courthouse. A considerable number of applications for new buildings have been received, many of which call for early attention, but they have had to be postponed until other works now in hand and in contemplation have been dealt with. The total expenditure on gaol buildings , amounted to £4231. The new votes include provision for further work at Mt. Tvden, and for the new building at Gisborne, and for development work at Tokaanui Reformatory Farm. Last year's vot**s for additions at Wellington and a gaoler's residence and Tvardenr , cottages at Auckland have been omitted, as it is not now intended to proceed with these works. Regarding the police stations, apart from unexpended votes of last year, there are new items for buildings at Wark■srorth, Remuera, Takapuna, Mt. Albert, Ponsonhy. Taumaninui, Te Puke. Waitara. Whangamomona, and Taihape. For the Post and Telegraph Department the expenditure during 1908-9 amounted tr> £62.262. and during last year to £68.574. The expansion of the work of the Post and Telegraph Departs roent is so great that heavy expenditure for buildings must be looked for in the near future. In addition to large appropriations on account of the new offees at Auckland and Wellington, a large amount on account of buildings for -wireless telegraphy will be required. < >n mental hospitals during the year there has been £19,838. The proposed vr-;o for the current year provides, anions otb-er things, for the completion and furnishing of the Wolfe Bequest Reception House at Auckland. Provision also made for the purchase of land! anrl preparing bite and erection of building fur the new mental hospital at Tu.^aiiui. The film of f05.103 mus expend-e,l out of :!:•■ Public Works Fund last year on Mjool buildings. Provision is made on 'h- current year's estimates for £1-".S7S. on account of which a vote of £110/100 i> asked for. Under the heading of hospitals and rhari;:i!.if> institutions there was an <?xTH'nd't; lr p of £72.V.) on ne Vl - •building and : i m r,°»- U^ tS - TnU >' rar " s estimates total £23.064, on account oi which a vote ; ipSll

the farm?. The difficulty that officers, have in securing -house accommodation j iin some of the small centres Tenders I the erection of some Departmental residences necessary. Last year's expenditure amounted to £5895, "and this year's items total to £10,725, on account of which a vote of £5500 is provided. Under the heading of public health expenditure last yeaT was £319, and for i-he eurrpnt year only one small vote of £:2.50 is proposed for building works in connection with the Cambridge Sanatorium. POST AND TELEGRAPH VOTES. Dealing with telegraph and telephone extension, the Minister stated that £ 123.422 was expended during the year. The mileage of extensions and trunk circuits erected was 497 miles of line and 2.104 miles of ■wire, and of the telephone exchange circuits, 103 miles of line and "j.037 miles of wire. New telegraph and telephone offices to tihe number of 121 and 17 new telephone exchanges ■were opened, and the number of telephone ex-vh-ange subscribers increased by 2,104. Owing to the great 'importance of wireless telegraphy for defence, naval and mercantile marine purposes, the Government had called for tenders for two high-power stations in the neighbourhood of Doubtless Bay and the Bluff, and three medium-power stations in the neighbourhood of Gisborne. Cape Farewell, .md Sutnner. The tenders close at Wellington on the 15th of nest month, ;ind it : s expected that several, if not all. the stations will be in full working order 'before the end of 1911. The neces-,-a.ry buildings are to be erected by the Public Works Department, and will be put in hand immediately a contract is let for the "wireless telegraphy apparatus. This year's proposals total £151,000, including £,1,000 on account of wireless telegraph stations, the actual vote submitted for approval being £140,000. HARBOUR WORKS AND DEFENCES.

The Minister stated that for lighthouses, -harbour works, and harbour defences the total expenditure for the year -was £6.763. During the current year >the new -works to he provided for are the erection of two lights on the East Coast of the North Island, and the protection from landslips of the tnu-k leading to Godley Head fog signal. For ■the Te-erection of Tuabine Point ligM-h-ou-se £ 10,167 would be required, and provision for a vote of £5,000 on account is made on the Estimates.

Under the heading of harbour works last year's expenditure amounted to £4,548. For the current year, in addition to renewing unexpended items on last year's a-ppropriations, it is proposed to -provide for the following:—Wharves at Motukaxaka (Hokianga), Kirikopuni (Kaipara), Waauku and Lemon Point (Kawhia), "Waipu and KaTamea. The vote proposed for the current year is £7.000.

The expenditure on harbour defences laet year amounted to £5,372, and as further important -works are in hand or contemplated a larger vote will be necessary for the current year. Provision is accordingly made for an appropriation of £8,000. In closing his Statement, the Minister said t.he total -approo.pria.tion included provision for the following services:—Departmental, £45,000; immigration, £20,000; lands improvement, £12,500; contingent defence, £10,000, thus bringing the total amount of tihe proposed appropriations, including special accounts, up to £3,105,935, against £2,624,450 voted and £2,218,975 actually expended last year. "The practical initiation of our hydro-electrical energy -policy •will, I am sure," concluded the Minister, "act as a great stimulus to industrial development of all kinds, and lead to -the starting of numerous new enterprises, to trade rapidly improving, and public revenue increasing; and with the amounts for public works services that are provided the fullest possible employment should be available for our people in the development of the country, and I therefore look forward to a, year of consider-1 able activity and progress." KOADS AXD BRIDGES. Dealing with Toad 3 and bridges, the Minister gave the following items of expenditure on important works during the past year:—Te Akau Block, £3444; Kawhia to Marokopa river, £2665; Pakihi, £2902; Ohura-raad, £6474; Otunui Block, £2527; Mangapoika Valleyroad (east end) (£ISOO contributed by settlers), £2590; Te Ami Settlement, £2705; Waimarama Block, £2771; Mason"s to Parapara, £2561; Piripiri Block, £3863. A special fea-tuxe of the operations of tihe past year was the expenditure on the construction of roads to facilitate the transport of material and produce to and from the newlysettled lands in the interior of the North Island, more particularly in the King Country and adjacent districts. A comparison of the distribution of expenditure as between the North and South Islands is, said the Minister, largely in favour of the North Island, the ectuad figures bemg: North Island £271,406, South IsJand £110,498; total. £381,904. In addition to the aibove the sum of £40.830 was expended on goMfields roads, and £28,468 on tihe construction of the new Hutt-road. Tire total sum voted 'by Parliament last year under all votes and accounts (exclusive of roads on goldfields vote) ior the construction, supervision and maintenance of roads and -bridges throughout the Dominion was £547,843. In pursuance of the previously expressed intention of the Government to entrust local bodies with the expenditure of the major portion of the votes, £183,444 was either authorised or offered to the various county councils and road boards for expenditure ibetween the time of the passing of the Estimates aiid tihe close of the financial ye-ar, and during the same period £79,900 was authorised to Departmental engineers. This year it is proposed to invite the local authorities to submit their proposals for the expenditure of the sums available forthwith, and if reasonable expedition is exercised in doing this there should be ■no difficulty in the formal grants being in their hands and available for expenditure witiin a few days of the actual passing of the appropriations by Parliament.

"While dealing with road matters," proceeded the Minister. ''I should like again to emphasis? one point, namely, that while the construction of new roads to open up back blocks is a work that may properly be regarded as devolving upon the Government, and while the Government may reasonably be expected to assist in the improvement and metalling of roads that were originally constructed as bridle tracks or were left unmetalled, the mere maintenance of roads and i bridges except in very special cases is a j work that should and must devolve upon the local authority of the district. j^ m ° ngSt the numerou s applications that Have been received for grants for road - d^ in g the current year quite an perCenta S e ""for Irks of

maintenance of no less than 3352 miles of dray roads and 2017 miles of bridle roads, or a gross total of 5369 miles of road. During last year the figures were much smaller, namely, 2597 miles of dray roads and 1246 miles of bridle road, or a gross total of 3483 miles of road. On road* on goldfields there was expended last year £40,830. For the current year the proposed authorisations total to £83.175. on account of which a vote of £50.000 is asked for. Last year's total appropriations foT roads were as under: Roads, etc., £216,360; back blocks roads, £210,200; roads on goldfields, £51,250; loans to local bodies' accounts. £S0.00O; national endowment account, £17,151 ;Land for Settlements Account, £19.132; maintenance of roads (Consolidated Fund), £35,000; total. £599,09.!. The provision submitted for the current year is as under-. Roads, etc £270,480 ; back block roads, £229.520; road* on goldfields. £50.000; Loans to Local Bodies Account, £100.000; National Endowment Account. £15.035; Land for Settlements Account (say), £17,000; maintenance of roads (Consolidated Fund). £30.000; totals, £712.935. After noting the progress of the mining industry, the Minister said the amount expended last financial year on the development of our goldfields -was £18,598, and a vote of £25,000 is proposed for the current year. For tourist and health resorts the net expenditure for the year 1909-10 amounted to £14,507. or £9778 less than the year 1908-9. The purchase of the Te Puia native township of 709 acres is at present being negotiated. Provision is made on the 'current years Estimates for a new hostelry at Mt Cook, on the Governor's bush site. The works provided for on this year's -rote total £22.560, on account of which a vote of £12,500 is required. WATER POWER.

The statement elaborated upon the proposed development of hydro-electric power, Mr. McKenzie saying the present position of matters is that the Department i≤ in possession of fairly compietn trial surveys, and much olt/her data' regarding both the Hutt EivoT and Lake Coleridge schemes, and a large amount of very useful information "in respect of several of the other schemes proposed. We are in a position to at once commence actual construction works in connection with either or 'both the former schemes, and instructions will 'be given for a commencement to ibe made accordingly as soon ac practicable after the passing of the estimates. As regards the Hutt scheme, three estimates of cost have been prepared by engineers, acting entirely independently of one another, and as regards the Lake Coleridjre scheme four such estimates are available. As regards the other schemes proposed, it will Ibe necessary during the present year to gather further details for submission to Parliament next season. The estimates provide for an appropriation of £300,000, which sum "will be ample to enable an energetic commencement to be made. An interesting report furnished <by Mr. R. W. Holmes, Ciß. to the Public Works Department in October last on the Kaituna water power scheme is appended to the Statement. Mr., Holmes says that in this project the water -will be derived from Lake Botoiti, to 'which is connected Lake Rotorua. Owing to the necessity of leaving the level of Lake Rotoroa unaffected, it will not be possible to utilise the •whole of tihe -water -which is derived from, the watershed, but, by -working upon the level of Lake Rotoiti alone to the extent of a variation of a maximum of a little over lft, sufficient water can be obtained to provide 37,000 horse power for continuous -working on the turbine shaft at the generating station. This -would enable a maximum quantity, or peak load, of nearly 78.000 horse power, or an average of 26,000 horse power (continuous working), to 'be delivered in Auckland. Investigation has <been made on the basis of the delivery in Auckland of a peak load of 10.000 horse power, but by constructing the woTk -with a small increase in expenditure, the peak load can be increased to 20,000 horse power Although the works required are of a comparatively simple character, the nature of the country and the peculiar region in -which they are situated -will render them more, costly than they would be if situated, say, in the southern part of the island, or in the South Island. It is proibafole that the Auckland tram-way system and the electric lighting of the city will in -the immediate future consume at least 10,000 horse power on their peak loads, so that it appears tihat it ■would be wiser to commence this scheme on the "basis of a supply of at least 20,000 'horse power ior the maximum demand, particularly as the capita] cost, and consequently the cost of supply of current, decreases very rapidly as the quantity supplied increases.
