RAILWAY TRAFFIC AND REVENUE
HEAVY LOADINGS OF SHEEP RETURNS FOR CANTERBURY DISTRICT Any comparison of the revenue and tonnage returns in the Canterbury railway district for the fourweekly period ended March 31 with the corresponding period of 1937 is made difficult, because last year the figures covered the Easter traffic J and the period was also of four weeks and four days, a week longer than the period over which the last I figures were compiled. The passengers, goods, and stock handled by the department for the periods were:—
1938. 1937. Passengers 99,367 190,406 Season tickets 9,056 < 6,628 Road motor tickets 6,292 1,235 Road tonnage 919 — Cattle 2,999 3,120 Sheep and pigs .. 412,736 419,290 Timber tonnage .. 11,588 13,285 Other goods tonnage 98,029 119,476 The revenue was as follows:— 1938. 1937. £ £ Passenger 12,411 22,890 Season tickets 1,669 2,295 Parcels and luggage 2,583 2,910 Goods 82,155 94,680 Road motors 2,895 2,718 Miscell&YveoviS a/m S.2S5.
