1885. NEW ZEALAND.
PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT, BY THE MINISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS, THE HON. EDWARD RICHARDSON, 25th AUGUST, 1885.
Me. Speakee,—■ I shall endeavour, in the Statement I am about to make this evening, to bring under the notice of honourable members, in as concise a manner as possible, an account of the proceedings of the department during the past year, together with a description of the action proposed to be taken during the current one. There will be attached to this Statement the usual tables and reports made to me by the heads of the several branches of the department: many of these are of great interest, and to some of them I shall presently refer. For the convenience of honourable members I shall deal with the various subjects very much in the order that I did last year, when I had the honour to address you, Sir, on a similar occasion. Circumstances over which I had no control have rendered it impossible for me to examine all the lines of railway and other public works throughout the colony, and indeed prevented my visiting several parts of the colony at all. I very much regret this, as I can only speak of the works in those districts from reports made to me by the permanent officers, instead of from my own observation. This more particularly refers to the Auckland District. I was in the City of Auckland when the defence works were put in hand, and it was considered advisable by my colleagues and myself that I should remain there, instead of travelling over the district, until I was satisfied that those works were well advanced. I propose speaking first of the railways in course of construction, including the additions made during the year on opened railways; and then of the working of constructed lines. It will be remembered that on the 31st March, 1884, the colony had 1,404 miles of railway open for traffic, which had cost ,£11,251,633; and on the 31st March, 1885, we had 1,477 miles open for traffic, being within 3 miles of the length which I estimated last year: and these 1,477 miles have cost £11,810,194. There was also on the 31st March last a length of 155 miles of railway in course of construction. Honourable members will recollect that on the 30th October last a resolution of this House was passed authorizing the Government to make agreements for purchasing the various district railways constituted under " The District Eailways Act, 1877," and its amendments. As soon as possible after the end of last session, I placed myself in communication with the following district and other railway companies: The Cambridge and I—D. 1.
D.—l

Botorua, the Wellington and Manawatu, the Eakaia and Ashhurton Forks, the Waimate, the Duntroon and Hakateramea, and the Waimea Plains Railway. The correspondence between these railway companies and the Government is all printed, and in the hands of honourable members. It will be seen that agreements have been come to for the purchase of the Cambridge and Botorua, the Eakaia and Ashburton Forks, the Duntroon and Hakateramea, and the Waimate Railways, subject, of course, to ratification by Parliament. The long correspondence which has taken place between the Waimea Plains Railway Company and the Government has led to no agreement being come to ; and the directors of the Wellington and Manawatu Company have recently declined to proceed with the proposed sale to the Government. I shall not now refer to the details of the agreements entered into with the other companies, as there will be a better opportunity of doing so when the Bill to authorize the purchase of these lines is being considered. If the lines become the property of the Government there will be a great saving in working them, and in abolishing the troublesome accounting system, akin to the clearing-house system in England, which is at present necessitated by the lines belonging to private companies. Under the East and West Coast (Middle Island) and Nelson Railway Act of last session, the Government was authorized to enter into a contract for the construction of railways from Springfield to Brunnerton and from Brunnerton to Belgrove, and, after a lengthened negotiation, the terms of an agreement were settled between the promoters of these railways and the Government for their construction. It is unnecessary for me to refer in detail to this contract, as it is printed and has been on the table of the House for some weeks, but I shall refer more fully to the subject of these railways presently. RAILWAYS IN COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION, AND PROPOSED, INCLUDING ADDITIONS TO OPENED RAILWAYS. I now propose to refer briefly to the railway works which were under construction during the past year. Kawahawa. —On this railway several buildings have been erected, and other extra accommodation has also been provided. Whangarei-Kamo. —A branch line, about 1 mile in length, has recently been constructed from this railway to the Whauwhau coal mine at the cost of a private company, and is now ready for working. With regard to the main line itself a survey is being made with the view of ascertaining the cost of extending it at the Whangarei end to deep water, to enable the largely-increasing coal output to be economically shipped. Till that survey is completed, and we have a full report on the cost, I cannot state what course I may have to recommend the House to take. There is no doubt, however, that the accommodation at present provided will not be sufficient when the Whauwhau and Kamo mines get into full work, and steps must be taken to have the necessary additional works put in hand without delay. Railway to the Northward of Relensville.- —Honourable members will recollect that last year I promised to procure such information as was necessary to allow of a decision being come to as to the best way of providing additional railway accommodation for the district to the north of Auckland, and I would now call special attention to some reports on this subject which are attached to this statement.
3
D.—l
It will be seen, from these reports and the maps attached to them, that although the waters of the Kaipara afford a large amount of accommodation for the shipment of timber, both to our own ports and to those outside the colony, still there is a large tract of heavily-timbered country, as well as a considerable area of rich agricultural land, situated in the valleys all through the district, that, from the contour of the country, can never be accommodated from the seaboard, and therefore can only be brought into communication with a market by railway. It is proved beyond doubt that the heavy timber grown in the neighbourhood of the railway between Auckland and Helensville, as well as that brought by water to Helensville, can be carried to Auckland at a rate which pays the railway and the timber-owners, and that it is to this traffic we have to look for revenue, for many years to come, to make the railway remunerative. The Government is therefore of opinion that this railway should be extended from Helensville northwards, and that the extension should be steady and gradual, constructing a short length annually, so that, as the timber is cut away from those localities that now feed the railway, the line should reach successive areas of forest lands, tapping each one in turn; and with that view it is intended to ask for a vote to enable the line to be continued to Kaukapakapa, saving several miles of tortuous navigation of the Kaipara Eiver with all the heavy timber which is now brought to Helensville for the Auckland market. The line can then be continued up the valley of the Kaukapakapa till it reaches a very large and valuable kauri bush about 9 miles distant, and thence onward by way of Wellsford, Port Albert, Kaiwaka, Maungaturoto, Maungakaramea, Wairoa Falls, Maungakahia Valley, Kaikohe, and the Omapere Lake, to the head of the Hokianga Eiver. It will be seen from the Engineer's report that the line will not be a costly one to construct, and that it will provide direct communication with a very large amount of land now in the hands of the Government, as well as a large tract of other lands which will yield a good paying traffic to the railway when constructed. In connection with the surveys for this railway, I desire to take this opportunity of conveying my thanks to Mr. Mitchelson, the member for Marsden, for the pains he has taken in communicating to the engineers engaged all possible information which could in any way be useful to them in the very difficult task of determining the best route to be adopted. A map has been carefully prepared, and copies of it will be attached to this Statement, showing the various lines of route explored, and also, by distinguishing colours, the areas respectively of Crown lands and purchased lands adjacent to the railway, and how much of same is forest. The reports, amongst other things, show conclusively that the railway from Kawakawa to Whangarei cannot at any time form a portion of the main trunk line, and therefore other provision will have to be made for it. Kaijoara-~W'ailcato. —On the portion of this railway between Helensville and Auckland many of the sharp curves and steep grades have been improved, and considerable progress has been made in the new passenger station at Auckland, which will, I hope, be finished in November next. On the portion between Auckland and Te Awamutu several improvements have been carried out at the way-side stations. In connection with the proposed Huntly branch line for the purpose of developing coal fields at Taupiri, surveys and plans are now in hand with the view of inviting tenders for the bridge over the Waikato, as soon as a contract is made with the Waikato Coal Company, as directed by the Railways Authorization Act of last session. Waihato-Thames. —At the time that my Public Works Statement was made last j^ear this railway was completed and opened for traffic from Hamilton to Morrinsville, 18 miles ; and the formation of the section from Morrinsville to Te Aroha, 12 miles, and also the construction of the bridge over the Thames River was in hand. Since that date these works have been completed, and the
D.—l
4
platelaying on the line is now in progress, and it is anticipated that the railway will be opened to Te Aroha about February or March next. At the Thames (or Grahamstown) end of the line, rails have been laid on the 4j miles previously formed, and the formation of the Hikutaia Section, being a further length of 8 miles towards Te Aroha, is now under contract. The bridges on this length will shortly be erected, and plans will be prepared for the remaining portion of the line to Te Aroha. In addition to these works, it is also proposed during the current year to complete the station accommodation between Morrinsville and Te Aroha, and to generally equip that portion of the railway for traffic. Hamilton-Cambridge.' —This railway, 12 miles in length, was opened for traffic on the Bth October last. North Island Trunk Baihoay, Marton-Te Awamutu. —lmmediately after the route of this railway was determined upon by Parliament I gave instructions to have the contract surveys put in hand, and the Bngineer-in-Chief employed a large staff of surveyors to permanently locate the line, with the result that the department was able to call for tenders in February last for about 15 miles at the northern end and about 13 miles at the southern end. These contracts were let in April last, and the works have been commenced at both ends. About 6 miles of the formation-works of the northern section were retained to be performed by the Maori population resident in the district, and it must be most satisfactory to honourable members to hear that the whole of this work has been taken up in small contracts by these men, and that the works are well in hand; and not only this, but the Natives are pressing the department to let them have contracts for further works on the extensions of this line. It will be my endeavour to comply with their wishes. The heaviest work on this line is the Purotarau tunnel, between the watersheds of the Mokau and Wanganui Eivers, about 48 miles south of Te Awamutu, and it was considered desirable that this work should be undertaken at an early stage of the proceedings, in order that there may be no delay in continuing the line when the other lighter works are completed up to the tunnel. Tenders were therefore called for this work some months since, and a contract for its completion has recently been let at satisfactory prices. Tenders have also recently been called for two further sections of this line— that at the northern end being about 12 miles in length, and that at the southern end about 8 miles, and of these the tenders for the southern section have been received and are now being dealt with. We have already let contracts for three stationmasters' houses along the line, to be used in the meantime as engineers' offices. On the road from Kihikihi a contract has been let for a bridge to cross the Puniu Kiver, and beyond this a road is now being constructed to give approach to the various works along the northern end of the railway. Some fifty Maoris are at work upon this road by contract. A survey has been made for a road about 15 miles long, to connect the Purotarau tunnel with the head of the navigation of the Ongarue and Wanganui Eivers, and this work is now being carried out by small contracts. It will be very beneficial in allowing the contractors access to the railway-works, and will also be valuable after the line is complete as a means of opening up the country. Another road is being laid out from Banana, on the Wanganui Eiver, to the railway-line where it traverses the Murimotu Plain. There is also a road from Napier, which it may be found advisable to continue inland till it strikes the railway. A careful survey has been made of the Wanganui Eiver, with the result that, by the expenditure of a comparatively small sum, that river will be made available for steam navigation, and thus ensure easy communication with the railway. A private company has been established to build steamers to work on this river, so there is every probability that by the time the heavier stores are required for the railway the Government will be able to get them up at a moderate cost. The railway will strike the rive about 140 miles from the sea, and it is estimated that the necessary work to render the whole length navigable can be done quickly, and at moderate cost. This work has been put in hand. Independently of
5
D.—l
the great value this means of communication will be in reducing the cost of carriage of railway-material, there can be no doubt that there will be a very large passenger-traffic along this river to view the grand scenery through which it traverses. The permanent-way materials required for the works now under contract at both ends of the line have been already contracted for. The location of the rest of the line is rapidly being proceeded with, and it will rest with the House, by its votes, to determine at what rate of progress this line shall be continued. In order to enable honourable members to realize more satisfactorily the state of the case as regards this important railway, a sketch map will be attached to this Statement, showing the position of all the works now in progress in connection with the construction of the line throughout, including the roads leading thereto which I have already described. Napier to Woodville and Palmerston. —During the last financial year a further length of nearly 12 miles was opened to Tahoraite, being 81 miles from Napier. A contract has been let for 13^ miles farther, coming within lj miles from "Woodville; and it is proposed to let another contract shortly to embrace the necessary works to complete the line to Woodville and the station-works there. A very careful survey has been made for the line through the Manawatu Gorge, and the Engineer-in-Chief has been able to locate it in such a manner as to have no steep grades or very sharp curves. The contract plans for this length are in a very forward state, and as soon as they are ready it is proposed to call for tenders for the work. Those who are conversant with the nature of the banks of the Manawatu River through the Gorge will understand that it is of the utmost importance to bestow the greatest possible care in locating the railway, as the slightest variation one way or the other in such a position means very large loss or gain in cost of construction; and honourable members will, I hope, agree with me that to ensure attaining the best line it was better to wait a month or two and have this work thoroughly done. This, at least, has been my endeavour. The line between the Gorge and Palmerston is of the easiest description, and the surveys of this length are now in hand. On the portion of this railway previously opened for traffic, namely, from Napier to Makatoko, a considerable amount of money has been expended during last year in providing water supplies and other additional accommodation along the line, and also for some improvements to the railway-station at Napier, as it will be necessary during the current year to still further increase the accommodation at some of the stations in order to provide for the increasing traffic. Wellington—Woodville. —The works on the extension of this line from Masterton to Mauriceville, 17 miles, which have been considerably retarded by floods and bad weather, are now approaching completion, and a portion of this section, reaching from Masterton to Opaki, is expected to be ready for traffic about December next. Beyond Mauriceville the only work done has been the completion of the Awaparua Bridge, which is to be used, in the meantime, for road-traffic. No further extension of this railway at the Masterton end is at present proposed, but a section of about 14 miles, from Woodville southwards to Pahiatua, will shortly be surveyed for contract, and some of the works along it may be put in hand during the current year. On the portion of the line already constructed the Wellington passenger station has been removed to a more convenient site, and provision has been made for the large increase in traffic which is expected to ensue when the WellingtonManawatu Railway is completed. Foxtoyi-New Plymouth. —The last link in this railway was finished in March last, thus completing through communication over a distance of 190 miles from
D.—l
6
Foxton to Waitara; and during the present year a contract has been entered into for the construction of a branch railway from New Plymouth to the breakwater. This is expected to be completed about November next. Several small additions have also been made along the line at various places, and a considerable quantity of fencing has been erected at places not previously fenced. Nelson-Boundell. —The formation-works on the Wai-iti section of this railway beyond Belgrove, for 2| miles, which were stated last year to be in hand, were completed in February last; and a survey has also been made during the year for the continuation of the line to the Hope Junction. East to West Coast and Nelson Railway. —l have now to deal with the construction of a railway that has hitherto led to considerable discussion in the House. I allude to the East and West Coast (Middle Island) and Nelson Eailways. It is desirable that I should explain the views of the Government in reference to the construction of these lines. I need hardly point out that they were a substantial part of the original scheme of railways in 1870, for it was then contemplated that there should be a main trunk line in both Islands. Parliament has on various occasions sanctioned the construction of both lines. Even before the general scheme of railways and the Public Works policy of 1870 Parliament had authorized the construction of a railway from Nelson to Cobden. The mode that had been provided, for its construction was grants of lands. As much as 10,000 acres were to be given for each mile constructed, and, as the estimated length of the railway was 220 miles, this meant the granting of 2,200,000 acres for the construction of the line. Part of the line w Tas commenced, and 31 miles have been completed under various Public Works Acts. In 1878 provision was made for connecting Christchurch with Cook Strait and with the West Coast. In the Schedule of the Railways Construction Act of that year the lines Amberley to Brunnerton, Greymouth to Hokitika, and Amberley to Cook Strait were provided for. In 1881 Parliament made a further provision for the construction of these lines, for by the Eailways Construction and Land Act of that year the railways, East and West Coast (Middle Island), by Waiau and Eeefton, as well as Belgrove to Nelson Creek, were scheduled. The Act of last year —the East and West Coast (Middle Island) and Nelson Railways Act—amended the Eailways Construction and Land Act of 1881, and, as honourable members are aware, a contract has been entered into by the Government with some gentlemen in Christchurch and Nelson in pursuance of the authority thus given. It is unnecessary to detail at any length what has been done since this contract was entered into, as the papers laid on the table of the House, coupled with the debates, must have informed members. There now, however, seems some difficulty in obtaining the construction of the lines under the Act of last year; and it remains for the House to consider what should be done. The Government are of opinion that the lines are of immense importance. They will tend to increase the mining population, and to develop a large timber and mineral traffic and commerce generally. There are also considerable tracts of land that will be profitably occupied by settlers; whilst the bringing of the produce of the eastern side of the Middle Island to the west at a cheap rate will tend to promote the welfare of the West Coast settlers, and open a new market for the agriculturists on the eastern side. The North Island will also be benefited, because there will be direct through communication, beginning at Nelson, through the South Island. It is, I think, to be regretted that the construction of these lines had not been considered by a Committee of this House; but, as that has not been done, the Government, believing that it will benefit the colony as well as the districts concerned to have these lines, intend to ask for a moderate vote this year for the purpose of commencing their construction. A sum of £150,000 has been placed on the Estimates for this purpose,
7
D.—l
The Government are of opinion that by this proposal they are placing the matter in a position to which no part of the colony can reasonably object, whilst they are removing from the districts concerned the sense of soreness and inj-ustice under which they now labour. They hope honourable members will combine to aid the Government in dealing with a subject that has engaged the consideration of every Administration that has held office for the past eight or nine years, and which in no sense ought to be dealt with as one of party. Westport-NgaJcatvau. —On this railway considerable additions have been made to the rolling-stock, on account of the increased output of coal. Greymoutli-Reefton. —This railway is in the same condition as last year, namely, formed for a distance of 60 chains beyond Brunnerton ; but some minor improvements have been made during the year to the stations at Brunnerton and Greymouth, and a considerable increase has been made in the rolling-stock. Greymoutli-Holritilm Hallway.- —At the date of my last statement there was a length of 10 miles of this railway partly formed, 6 miles at the Greymouth end, and 4 miles at the Hokitika end. Since then a contract has been let for laying the rails on the section at the Hokitika end, reaching from Hokitika to the vicinity of the Arahura, and a further formation contract at this end of the railway, including a bridge over the Arahura River, will also be let during the present financial year, and also a contract for the completion of the formation and platelaying on the 6 miles at the Greymouth end. Picton-Aioatere. —On this railway the formation is completed for 4J miles to the southward of Blenheim, as stated last year, and a contract for a further length of 3^ miles is in progress. The works on this latter section have not been progressing satisfactorily, and I have, therefore, recently been obliged to take steps to secure a more vigorous method of procedure for the future. A further contract will shortly be let for continuing the formation of the line towards the Dashwood Pass. Hubunui-Bluff and Branches Railway. Main Line. —The construction of the bridge over the Hurunui River is now well advanced, and the formation of the section from thence to the Red Post, 9£ miles in length, is already completed^ including the station buildings, so that a contract for the platelaying can be let as soon as the bridge is finished, probably about October next. The extension of the railway station at Dunedin has been continued during the year, and the new platforms have been in use since Ist November lest, and it is hoped that sufficient accommodation has now been provided for some years to come. The new passenger-house, which is designed to be of masonry, has not as yet been commenced, as it is considered that it may be postponed for the present, in view of the very large expenditure which has already taken place. Malvem Hills, White Cliffs Branch. —A contract for the extension of this railway for about 24 chains, across the Selwyn River, is in hand, and is expected to be completed in about a month or so. It is believed that this work will be of great utility in facilitating the development of further coal-mines. A still further extension of this railway to the vicinity of Lake Coleridge would probably prove reproductive, on account of the high class of coal obtainable there, but the Government does not consider itself justified in undertaking this work at present. Ashburton Branch Railway.- —A contract for the formation of a further length of this railway, about 2J miles, is iiow in progress, and expected to be finished about January next. When this is completed the platelaying upon it will be put in hand without delay.
D.—l

Little River 'Branch. —The completion of this railway, including platelaying and stations, up to the Little Eiver Township, 36 miles from Christchurch, is now under contract, and is expected to be finished about January next. Any further extensions of the line towards Akaroa will be a charge against the Lake Ellesmere and other endowments, reserved for the purpose of constructing this railway, and which, if sold to advantage, will materially assist in completing the line throughout. Ngapara—Livingstone Branch. —The tunnelling on this line, which was stated last year to be in progress, has now been completed, and a contract has been entered into for platelaying on the first 4 miles. The formation of the remaining 8 miles is nearly completed, and tenders will shortly be called for the platelaying on this length also. P aimer ston-Waihemo Branch. —A contract for the final completion of this ai lway, including platelaying and station buildings, is now in progress, and is expected to be completed next month. Length, about 9 miles. Ccdlin's River Branch. —The works on this railway, as far as the Port Molyneux Eoad, will probably be completed and ready for traffic in September or October next. Length, about 8 miles. Waipahi-Heriotburn Branch. —As regards the extensions of this railway, which have been advocated from time to time, the Government are desirous, if possible, of meeting the views of those interested, but the question is, whether the opening-up of the country, which requires to be developed in this district, can best be done by the extension of this Waipahi-Heriotburn Eailway, or by extending the railway from Lawrence, as has been advocated by other persons ; and we have therefore decided, that before any further extension is undertaken on either of these lines, a complete survey and report should be obtained as to how the object desired can best be brought about. This survey will be put in hand during the recess, and the decision of the Government upon it will be announced next session. Edendale-Toitois Branch. —This work remains in the same condition as last year, as it seemed doubtful whether any sensible increase to the traffic would take place if the rails were laid on the 4 miles additional formation already completed beyond Wyndham. The question has, therefore, been kept open till it is decided whether the line should be extended any further at present. A vote will be proposed to cover the cost of the platelaying over the 4 miles now formed, and the Government will ascertain whether a further extension of about 2 miles will command the traffic of the district, and, if so, will recommend the extension. Waimea-Switzer's Branch. —The formation of the first 7 miles of this railway, which was alluded to last year as in hand, has now been completed, with the exception of the bridges. Seaivard Bush Branch.- —On this railway the formation is completed for 5| miles, and a contract has been entered into for the platelaying. Otago Centbal Eailway. So much has been said during the year about the position of the works on this railway that I trust honourable members will bear with me if I refer to them somewhat in detail. It will be remembered that, when taking the vote for this line last year, I stated most distinctly that, although we took a very large vote, it would be impossible to spend much of the money during the financial year then current, and in practice this has proved to be the case to even a greater extent than I then thought. For the Wingatui Viaduct plans and specifications had been prepared with the view of ordering the ironwork from England, but these I have had altered so
9
D.—l
as to admit of the whole of the work being done in the colony, and a contract has already been let for the superstructure of the bridge, by which we shall get it done at a price little, if any, beyond what it would have cost if imported from England. The contract for the masonry and concrete work in the piers, which are exceptionally heavy, has been let in such a manner as not to delay the erection of the superstructure. The design for the girders for this viaduct has also been so arranged that the same pattern will apply for the other bridges on the line, all of which will be let to be manufactured in the colony, and at siich times as will not retard the completion of the other works. The plans and specifications for these bridges are now in course of preparation. A contract has been let for laying the permanent-way on the first section, about 8 miles in length,, and, as soon as the formation is complete up to the Wingatui Viaduct, the permanent-way will be laid thereon also, so as to expedite the viaduct-work as far as possible, and to ensure the railway getting the carriage of all the material to be used for its construction. The whole of the rest of the works required for the formation of this line to the end of the thirty-third mile, where it emerges on to the plain, are now under contract, with the exception of a few short pieces which were left in a very rough state when the works were stopped two years since. These will be put in hand, in small contracts, very shortly. It has been my endeavour to press on this work, and I am satisfied that no time has been unnecessarily lost in getting it in hand. As I stated last year the Wingatui Viaduct is the key to the whole railway, and the colony is suffering the loss of the interest on the outlay on this line owing to that work having been neglected. Invebcaegill-Kingston and Beanches, including Westeen Eailways. Lumsden-Mararoa Branch. —A contract for the completion of the first 6J miles of this railway has now been let, and is expected to be completed in January next. Riverton-Orepuki. —This line has now been opened for traffic throughout. Length, about 18 miles. If all these proposals are carried out, there will be 1,557 miles of railway open for traffic before the 31st March, 1886. Ceeosoted Sleepers. After several attempts, extending over some years, a contract has recently been let for a supply of 150,000 creosoted railway sleepers, with the view of utilizing white pine, rimu, and other timbers, which, without some sort of preserving process, are not fitted for such a purpose. The rate per sleeper is 45., and, should the contractor succeed in producing them at this price, of which there seems now to be little doubt, a great advantage to the colony will have been gained. Once a creosoting apparatus, on the scale required by the terms of this contract, is obtained, it will be possible to use white pine not only for all the bridgework on the railways, but also for harbour works and for the works of local bodies throughout the colony, thus doing away with the necessity of importing so large an amount of timber from abroad as is now done, as well as making all our timber-works last much longer. WOBKING EAILWAYS. I have already stated that on the 31st March last there were 1,477 miles of railway open for trafLc, and that the total cost of these lines was £11,810,194. rihe receipts for the past year from all sources amounted to £1,045,712, and the expenditure was £090,026, leaving a net profit of £355,686, which is equal to £3 os, 3d. per cent, on the outlay. 2—l). 1.
D.—l
10
I think honourable members will agree with me that this result is very favourable. It is 10s. Id. per cent, more than that earned during the previousyear. The rates of profit were highest on the Brunner and the Napier lines, amounting in those cases to £4 16s. Od. and £4 os. sd. per cent, respectively, while on the Hurunui-Bluff line, with all its branches, the profit was .£3 13s. Id., on the Auckland lines £2 12s. Od., on the Wellington-Masterton line £2 2s. Od., and on the Eoxton—New Plymouth line £0 18s. 6d. The rates for the other railways vary considerably, and descend in one case to £0 3s. sd. per cent, on the Picton line, which was the lowest for the year, the average result being, as I have before stated, £3 Os. 3d. per cent. A very large number of alterations have been made in the tariff of charges, as also in the classification, the object kept in view having been to assist local production by lowering the charges on all goods which it has been found would help the settlement of the country. A return is attached to this statement showing the changes made during the year. Many more would have been made, which would have had the effect of bringing a large amount of traffic to the railways, had it not been found that the moment any change was made in one direction, where it could be done advantageously, both to the railway and to the owners of the goods, claims were made for similar changes on other lines, where such would have resulted in heavy loss to the railways. I have not been able to inspect all the railways, but those I have travelled over have been kept up in a good state of efficiency, and the rolling-stock on the whole is in a better condition than it was at the commencement of the year. I have visited the workshops at Newmarket, Addington, and Hillside, and in all cases have found them in full work and in good order. The returns of work done show good results and fair prices. It must be very satisfactory to honourable members to hear that we are erecting two large locomotives in the Government workshops, being aided in this by using, so far as practicable, duplicate parts of other locomotives that have been for a long time in stock, having been received here with engines previously imported. There is every reason to believe that these engines will be completed in a satisfactory manner at a cost not much exceeding that of those imported. The reports which have from time to time appeared in the newspapers of the colony regarding the bad quality of a large quantity of material for wagon-work, as also wheels and axles, will no doubt have attracted the attention of honourable members, and it has been considered desirable that the correspondence which has taken place between the department and the Agent-General on this subject should be laid before the House, which will be done. From this correspondence it will be seen that the difficulty in getting redress from the English contractors has been so great that I have thought it necessary to discontinue getting these articles from England at all, a course which I hope will meet with general satisfaction. Tenders were called in the colony for a large number of axles to supply the place of those condemned, but with little response; it therefore became absolutely necessary for the department to commence making them, and the result has been that we are now making not only axles but wheels also, and af a price not exceeding that of those which were being imported. These wheels and axles on being tested are also found superior to many, and equal to the best, sent out from England, thus proving that we need import no more of this class. The manufacture of these items alone is providing work for a very large number of workmen, and is also keeping fully employed the very expensive machinery at Hillside and Addington, which had not previously been in full work. The work is as fairly divided between these shops as it can be, with due regard to economy, and the other railway-workshops throughout the colony will be engaged in fitting up the new stock as fast as the wheels, &c, are sent to them. The whole of the new stock will, I hope, henceforth be made in New Zealand, excepting perhaps certain of the heavier class of locomotive, which may from time to time be required, and such other articles as cannot at present be made in the colony. Amongst these will be some steel axles, which have recently been ordered by way of experiment.

D.—l,
Honourable members will remember that I last year renewed a promise made by my predecessors in office that tenders should be called in the colony for locomotives. I decided, after consulting the officers of the department, that it would afford the best chance of success to local manufacture if we arranged to build ten engines of one pattern. This ,was done, and the result has been that we received tenders from several of the best firms in the colony, and have let a contract for the manufacture of ten engines at a price not more than about 27 per cent, above the cost of those of the same class imported from England. The colony, through its representatives, having so determinedly expressed its desire that this experiment should be tried, the Government had no hesitation in accepting this tender, as we found that the price was proportionately as favourable as that now being paid in the Colonies of Victoria and New South Wales, where they have been building locomotives for a great many years. Before leaving this subject it may be desirable that I should refer here to a transaction which has recently taken place with regard to some twenty locomotives which were ordered from England in July and November, 1883, to be delivered for shipment between June, 1884, and March, 1885. In October last I received a cable message from the Agent-General to the effect that two of these engines were shipped, and that they were so heavy that it would be necessary to strengthen all the bridges on the lines they were to run upon; and, on inquiring as to how this could be, I found that the engines, with tenders, as constructed, were 10 tons heavier than they were specified to be. I immediately refused to take these engines, and after a very long and expensive correspondence by cable and letter, the contractors, finding that we would not take the engines as built, agreed to alter them in a manner satisfactory to the department, at their own cost. These engines as altered are now coming forward. In the meantime, being disappointed in not receiving these engines at the time they were expected, I was obliged to order others, and succeeded in making a contract with the celebrated Baldwin Company, of Philadelphia, to supply twelve engines on the same specification as that sent to England in 1883. The order . left New Zealand on the 6th December, 1884, and we have had advices of the shipment of the whole number at New York by the Ist May, 1885, namely, within five months from the time of the order leaving here ; and a still more satisfactory part of the business is, that they will be delivered for fully £400 per engine less than the English ones. As it is evident from our experience in the case of these locomotives, and also from the case of the defective axles which I have already referred to, that the system of inspectiqn at present in force in England is far from satisfactory, it has been determined by the Government to inaugurate a better system for the future, as it is quite clear that this subject has not been receiving the attention it should have done, and that the colony has suffered great loss in the past from this cause. In this endeavour to improve the present system, of inspection, the department is receiving the cordial assistance of the Agent-General, who has himself also represented that the present condition of things in this respect is unsatisfactory to him, and that he is desirous that the Government should take steps to have it remedied. The total passenger traffic on the railways, as shown by the printed returns, was— For the year 1883-84 .... .... .... 3,272,644 For the year 1884-85 .... .... .... 3,232,886 From this it would appear that there has been a decrease in the actual number of people travelling; but such is not the case. An alteration was made towards the end of 1883, for the convenience both of the public and the railways, by which all passengers who got into the trains at flag-stations were booked to their destination, each one only counting therefore as one passenger, whereas during the greater part of 1883, and in all former years, .each one was booked twice, and counted as two passengers. This apparent reduction in number has given rise to a statement, which has
i>.—i
12
been very widely circulated, to the effect that, owing to our rates being high, thetraffic was falling off, but it will be seen, from what I have just stated, that this conclusion is not justifiable. The total traffic in goods and live-stock for the last two years has been as follows:— Goods Tbaffic. Wool. Timber. Firewood. Grain. Minerals. Merchandise. Chaff, &o. q^o^s Year. Tons. Tons. Tons. Tons. Tons. Tons. Tons. Tons. 1883-84 ... 62,067 183,449 81,255 432,224 574,313 350,262 16,470 1,700,040 1884-85 ... 68,523 178,909 86,670 414,590 618,511 365,623 17,030 1,749,856 Live Stock. Horses Sheep Total and Cattle, and Pigs. Live Stock. Year. No. No. No. 1883-84 ... ... 39,230 656,612 695,842 1884-85 ... ... 43,096 696,790 739,886 From these figures it will be seen that, with the exception of timber and grain, there is a very considerable increase on all heads. The decreases in timber- and grain-carriage are easily accounted for: the former, by reason of a very marked decrease in building in the South Island, and the latter, from the fact that little grain of this season's harvest was carried previously to the end of March. The returns of the Begistrar-General show that the acreage of grain grown in the Provincial Districts of Otago and Canterbury has been only about 4,000 acres less than during the previous year, and I am informed that the increased yield will probably make up the difference; so that we have every reason to expect that much of the loss of tonnage which now appears will be made up during this year. This brings me to the question of some alterations in the rates for the carriage of grain made during the year. One of these alterations consisted in the reduction, over the district between Waikari and Oamaru, of the rates on short distances between 8 and 16 miles to the extent of Is. 6d. per ton, keeping the rates as they were for the first 8 miles, and this has had the effect of securing a large amount of traffic which was being lost to the railways owing to the easy road-carriage. When this alteration was made, however, other parts of the colony complained that the rates in their districts had not also been reduced, and such strong representations were urged in this direction that the Government made the reduction general, except for distances of 8 miles and under. The effect will be a gain by the first reduction and a loss by the second, involving a loss on the whole of from £15,000 to ,£20,000, but this will, of course, depend upon the tonnage carried. Another large reduction was made on the carriage of native brown coals carried from the Waikato, Malvern, Shag Point, Green Island, Kaitangata, and the western districts of Southland; the cause of making this reduction being that our statistics showed that, owing to the reduction in price of imported coal, the consumption of the local brown coal, of which we carried last year 164,000 tons, was being seriously affected. Whether this reduction is sufficient to keep up the demand remains to be seen; but it must be borne in mind that our rates now are very low, and relief in the direction of further reduction must not be looked for by the mine-owners. There are a few items which I think it right to draw the attention of honourable members to, which tend to make a comparison between the New Zealand and other railways appear unfavourable. First I would refer to the great and increasing cost of repairs to fencing. I find that, by a decision come to in 1882, the Government have undertaken the whole repairs of the railway fences, only stipulating that they must be, or must have been when erected, legal fences in terms of the Act. This appears to me very unfair, and why such a difference should be made in the case of boundary fences between the Government and private individuals, as compared with those between neighbours all over the colony, lamat a loss to understand. The cost is very large, and increasing yearly.
13
D.—l
Then there have been granted in the past private sidings in every direction, and to an extent unheard of, I believe, on any other railways in the world. These sidings now number 251, and have the effect of causing a very large additional quantity of rolling-stock to be kept up, and also make the average load per wagon very much smaller than it otherwise would be, besides adding fully £10,000 annually to the cost of shunting, as well as the consequent extra injury to the rolling-stock. For the Post Office Department, work has been done during the year to the value of about £19,000, and for various other departments, and especially for the Education Department, free tickets have been issued, and reductions made in the rates, to the value of about £9,000, all of which would be credited to the revenue if the railways were in the hands of private companies. These items alone amount to fully ss. per cent, on the total cost of railway construction. Much has been said lately as to the prospects of the railway revenue for the current year, and a considerable amount of unnecessary alarm has been created by statements as to probable decreases in revenue made both in this House and out of it. We have now before us the actual results of the first four months of the year, and although the anticipation expressed in my statement last year, and again in the Financial Statement of my honourable colleague the Colonial Treasurer this session, that there would be a substantial increase in the receipts during the current year, will not be realized, still, considering the depression which has existed all over the colony, and more especially in the Middle Island, I think the result of the year's traffic will not be unsatisfactory. It is true that a great falling-off in the quantity of grain carried has taken place during the four months ending the 31st July; but it is equally true, and beyond doubt, that the amount of grain now along the lines which has at some time to be carried, is much larger than usual at this period of the year. While it must be admitted therefore that some reduction has taken place in receipts, it is also a fact that a very large reduction in expenditure is at the same time being effected, and this I shall be prepared to explain in detail when the Estimates are before the House. Comparing the receipts since the date of the last published returns with the same period last year, there is therefore no reason to doubt that the estimates of net revenue from the railways recently brought down by the Hon. the Colonial Treasurer will be fully realized. Excubsion Trains. Although some small,attempts had been made in previous years to provide cheap excursion trains on some of the lines, they were made on such a limited scale that they did not produce much revenue to the railways, and the season was so far advanced by the time I had an opportunity of looking into the matter that I could not get this traffic organized to such an extent as I had wished. It will be seen from the General Manager's report, however, that no less than 46,536 passengers availed themselves of these trains during last season, and if present instructions are carried out I hope that fully double this number will be carried during next season. Independently of the fact that these trains give an opportunity of travelling to a very large class of the public who could not otherwise afford it, they will, I hope, so accustom the public to travel, that a general reduction of the passenger fares may be found possible within a reasonable time.
Before leaving the subject of the railways I have to state that I have seen no reason to alter my opinion that the best method of managing them is by Boards of Commissioners. I have taken a considerable amount of pains in preparing a Bill providing for the appointment of these Boards, and the measure of success or otherwise which will attend their labours, always providing that due care is exercised in selecting
D.—l
14
good men, will much depend upon the amount of power Parliament will give them. After very careful consideration of this question, however, the Government has come to the conclusion that it is not desirable to ask the House to pass such an important measure as this Railways Commissioners Bill until honourable members and the country generally have had an opportunity of fully studying it, and it has therefore been decided that the House shall only be asked to carry the Bill through its primary stages this session. When that is done, it is proposed that the Bill shall be widely circulated, in order that the subject may be fully studied and discussed by all who are interested in it before it is agam introduced next session. The present staff is good, many of the officers having had much more experience than men receiving much higher pay in the adjoining colonies, and our system of accounts is far superior to that in force in some of the colonies, and enables us to complete our accounts much more rapidly and accurately than they can do. Indeed, in one instance lately, we have lost a valuable officer through his being offered higher pay in an adjoining colony, and the same Government which took him from us is adopting many of our methods of keeping statistical accounts. EOADS NORTH OF AUCKLAND. The amount voted for these roads last year was .£103,800, and against this there were liabilities to the extent of £30,130, leaving £73,670 available for further works. Of this sum, £3,670 was kept in hand to cover contingencies on works in course of construction by the Public Works Department, and the balance (£70,000) was allocated to the various counties for works to be spread over the period ending the 31st December, 1886. The amount allocated to each county was as follows : — Waitemata .... .... .... .£12,000 Rodney .... .... .... .... 11,000 Hobson .... .... .... .... 9,000 Whangarei .... .... .... .... 12,000 Bay of Islands.... .... .... .... 10,000 Hokianga .... .... .... .... 7,000 Mongonui .... .... .... .... 9,000 Total .... .... .... £70,000 Of this amount, £8,200 was for the main north road on the east side of the Island and £3,000 for main road on west side, and there was also the sum of .£5,700 directed to be expended on works which were specially defined, leaving £53,100 for ordinary county works. Special care has also been taken to provide in the agreements made with each of the counties concerned that the whole of the money must be expended on new construction-works and not on anything of the nature of maintenance. ROADS AND BRIDGES GENERALLY, INCLUDING "MAIN ROADS" AND " MISCELLANEOUS ROADS AND BRIDGES." North Island.—South of Auckland: The road-works in the hands of the Government in this portion of the colony, during last year, have consisted almost entirely of the maintenance and improvement of main roads in outlying districts, such as the roads from Cambridge to Rotorua, Cambridge to Taupo, Tauranga to Napier via Taupo, Seventy-Mile Bush, and various roads in the Bay of Plenty; and also the maintenance of the Auckland to Drury Road to such extent as the tolls collected upon it would admit of. As a considerable amount of misapprehension seems to exist as regards the Government's connection with this latter road, and the keeping up of the tolls upon it, it may be well here to state, that as it is not a road in an outlying district, the Government would, under ordinary circumstances, have nothing
15
D.—l
to say to it, but has consented to assume control of the maintenance for the reason that the Counties Act is not in force in the district through which it passes, and because the numerous Road Boards concerned have never been able to agree amongst themselves as to what proportion each should bear in the cost of the maintenance. These local bodies, however, are continually urging that the tolls should be taken off, but it is manifest that this cannot be done until they either arrange to take over the control themselves, or else subscribe amongst them the necessary funds for the maintenance in lieu of the tolls. The amount which it is necessary to contribute towards the Seventy-Mile Bush Eoad this year will be much less than last year, in consequence of the advance of settlement along it, and the shorter distance which has to be maintained owing to the extension of the railways, and it is hoped that after this year the contributions from General Government funds may cease altogether. Middle Island.—The chief road-works in the Middle Island have been the completion of the road from Blenheim to Nelson via the Pelorus Valley and Rai Saddle, and various improvements in the road from Nelson to Westport and Greymouth; also the construction of the Kaikoura to Waiau Eoad, length about 30 miles, which is well in hand. A survey has also been made for a road from Kaikoura to the Clarence, and the works along this distance will soon be put in hand. The bridge over the Clarence is now well advanced towards completion, and we may therefore shortly expect to have completed a coach-road throughout from the Waiau Township to the north side of the Clarence Kiver, and thus get rid of a long-standing obstruction to the progress of settlement between North Canterbury and Blenheim. Bridges are also in progress over the Taipo Eiver on the road from Christchurch to Hokitika, the Taieri Eiver in Otago, and the Clutha Eiver at Beaumont and Eoxburgh, also in Otago. In the case of the Beaumont Bridge, as in the case of the Wingatui Viaduct, which I have already alluded to, the plans of the superstructure, as originally prepared, would have entailed the work being ordered from England, but I have had these plans altered similarly, so as to admit of the work being done in the colony. A contract has also been let for the construction of a bridge over the Waiau Eiver at the Hanmer Plains, and this will supply a want which has long been felt in the shape of a safe road to the thermal springs near Jollies Pass, as we'll as to the whole of the interior of the Nelson and Marlborough Districts. The Hanmer Plains springs, the curative properties of which are well known, have been almost inaccessible hitherto, in consequence of the dangerous nature of the ford over the Waiau. When the railway is opened to the Eed Post the coach journey to the springs will be reduced to about 24 miles, and there is every reason to expect that this sanitorium will then be largely patronized by persons in the South who cannot afford the expense of going to Eotorua, or other similar springs in the North Island. The bridge, which is almost entirely iron-work, is being manufactured in the colony. EOADS TO OPEN UP CEOWN LANDS BEEOEE SALE. On these works, which are under the control of my colleague the Minister of Lands, the expenditure during the last financial year has been £49,314, and the liabilities at end of March last amounted to £70,072. The individual works done and in progress are so numerous that I cannot conveniently describe them in detail, but they will be found fully recited in Table No. 4 attached to this statement; and from that table honourable members will, I think, be enabled to realize that a fair amount of attention is being given to the opening-up of lands for settlement in all parts of the colony. There are still, however, many millions of acres of Crown land to be opened up, so that a large amount of work of this class will require to be done for many years to come. The expenditure during present financial year is expected to reach about the amount of the liabilities existing in March last, namely, the sum of £70,072, and that is all that it is proposed to ask for as a vote; but, in addi-
D.—l
16
tion to this sum, it is proposed to ask the House to authorize the incurring of further liabilities during current year to the extent of, say, £80,000. EOADS UNDEE THE EOADS AND BEIDGES CONSTEUCTION ACT. Main Roads: One-fourth of Cost of Work to be provided, or repaid in Ten Years, by the Local Body, and the Balance to be found by the Government. Under this heading the total amount of the applications received on the 30th June, 1884, when reduced in accordance with the Act of 1883, came to £250,484. Of these applications, those which were for bridges were granted in full, while as regards those which were for road-works, exclusive of bridges, the available fund only admitted of their being granted to the extent of 30 per cent, of the amounts applied for. The total amount thus distributed for bridges and road-works together amounted to £103,294. In addition to these ordinary applications, there were also applications for repairs of extraordinary damages by floods amounting to £13,577, and grants were made on these to the extent of £9,005. The total applied for altogether on account of main roads was, therefore, £264,061, and the total granted £112,299, of which £60,975 was for bridges and £51,324 for other works. The amounts granted within each of the several provincial districts will be found in the following table : —
District Roads and River Works: Total Amount granted to be repaid in Fiiteen Years. On account of this class of works the total amount applied for during the year ended March last has been .£34,593 (including applications amounting to £1,186 for flood damages); and, in pursuance of these applications, loans have been granted to the extent of £26,002. Of this sum, £25,402 was for roads and £600 for river works. The several amounts granted within the various provincial districts are shown in the table below:—

It will thus be seen that the total amount granted for the year has been ,£138,301. As several local bodies have, however, since decided to deal with their grants under different sections of the Act to those under which the grants were originally made, the amount finally granted has been thereby reduced to £108,678 for main roads and £25,274 for district roads and river works, so that the grand total for the year, as revised up to 31st March, has been £133,952. EOADS AND TEACKS, ETC., FOE THE DEVELOPMENT OF GOLDFIELDS AND OTHEE MINING DISTEICTS. It has hitherto been usual for these works to be described in the Public Works Statement, but as my honourable colleague the Minister of Mines has already made a statement to the House dealing with the whole question of miningworks, it will only be necessary for me to allude to them very briefly. I may , state, however, from my previous knowledge of such works, that the rough and mountainous character of the country where gold and other minerals exist renders the construction of roads and tracks imperative before the mineral resources of the colony can be developed, and that it is impossible to expect that individual miners, or even mining companies, can do this work without considerable aid from the Government. The expenditure during the year on works of this character has been £15,630, and the liabilities at the end of the year £33,122. Of these amounts a considerable portion is represented by subsidies to local bodies, who have undertaken to do the works required on the principle of receiving £2 to £1 ©n the cost of construction. Further details on this subject will be found in Table No. 5. WATEEWOEKS ON GOLDFIELDS. These works are also under the control of the Minister of Mines, so that I need only state with respect to them that the expenditure on the construction of water-races during the year has been £8,029, and the liabilities at the end of the year £7,369. The principal portion of the expenditure during the year has been on the Mikonui Water-race in Westland, and the Mount Ida Water-race in Otago. Further particulars will, if required, be found in Table No. 7 attached to this Statement. PUECHASE OF NATIVE LANDS, NOETH ISLAND. Through the operations of the Native Land Purchase Department during the past year sixteen negotiations, some of which were open for the last thirteen years, have been brought to a close, thus increasing the public estate of the colony by an area of over 70,000 acres. This includes the bulk of the Mangatainoka Block in the Forty-mile Bush, which will form a very valuable addition to the lands available for settlement between Wellington and Hawke's Bay. 3-D. 1.

Several other open negotiations have been considerably advanced, and are now in the final stages of completion. Under these circumstances it is only considered necessary to ask for an appropriation of £70,000 for the current financial year, as against £90,000 last year. A return, similar to Parliamentary paper lettered C.-2 of 1884, on this subject, will shortly be laid before the House. This will show the whole of the land-purchase transactions, complete and incomplete, the results being in round numbers about as follows : — Completed transactions ... ... .... ... 4,040,000 acres. Incomplete ... ... ... ... ... ... 1,100,000 „ Total expenditure ... ... ... ... ... £1,005,000 IMMIGBATION. The number of immigrants introduced for the year ending the 30th June, 1885, was 1,262. These consisted principally of persons whose passages had been held over during the temporary suspension of immigration, and to whom I referred in my Statement of last year. So far as the Government has been able to ascertain, these engagements have now been fulfilled with all persons who wished to take advantage of nominations in their favour, and there are therefore now no outstanding obligations on the part of the department with respect to these passages. Since the 19th November, 1884, even nominated immigration has been restricted to special cases of separated families. This is done under a system devised to meet cases where husbands have come out to the colony on the understanding that they would be permitted to nominate their wives and families when they had succeeded in providing homes for them. Nominations in favour of 310 persons have been received since the issue of these instructions. Payment of half passage-money is required to the extent of .£8 10s. for each adult and £5 for each child, including cost of outfit. The total number of immigrants of all classes introduced into the colony since the inauguration of the immigration scheme by the colonial Government is 111,948. A return which has already been laid before the House gives the details of the classes and nationalities of these immigrants. TELBGEAPH EXTENSION. The telegraph extension during the year consisted of the erection of 190 miles of new lines and 437 miles of additional wire. The work of connecting Taupo with Cambridge by a new line, 65 miles in length, has been completed. This was undertaken with the view of providing an alternative route to the north, and has had the effect of shortening the distance to Auckland by 90 miles, besides cutting off a considerable length of coast-line. A line from Collingwood to Cape Farewell Spit Lighthouse has also been finished and opened for public use, and as a weather-reporting and signalling station for passing vessels will be of great value. The telegraph lines in use in the colony at the end of March last extended to a total length of 4,264 miles, carrying 10,474 miles of wire, of which 2,820 miles is duplexed. . Telephone exchanges were set up during the year at Nelson and Oamaru, and arrangements have been completed for the erection of such exchanges at Timaru and Napier. The exchanges now in operation are seven, namely, at Auckland, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, Oamaru, Dunedin, and Invercargill; and they yielded a gross revenue during the last financial year of £10,008 3s. 6d. The expenditure on new works and extensions of all classes last year was £25,799, and the vote proposed to be asked for this year is £25,900. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The expenditure on public buildings during the last year has been considerably less than for either the two previous years, having been only £117,361 for 1884-85, as against £164,376 for 1883-84, and £153,072 for 1882-83.
19
D.—l.
The liabilities on account of public buildings at end of last year were also •considerably less than at the end of the two previous years, having been only £10,424 in March, 1885, as against £41,753 in March, 1884, and .£82,862 in March, 1883. The principal works in hand, when considered individually, have been the new convict prisons at Auckland and Wellington; but the largest portion of the expenditure during the year has been—for school buildings, £66,069; lunatic asylums, £24,992; and post and telegraph offices, £8,955. The expenditure on lunatic asylums consisted principally of the final payments on account of contracts for asylums at Sunnyside in Canterbury, and Seacliff in Otago, which had practically been completed before the date of my last Public Works Statement. The designing and construction of the Industrial Exhibition Building in Wellington has also been carried out by the Public Works Department, and several small courthouses have been erected in various parts of the colony. Of the works proposed for the current year, the largest item is for school buildings, but there are also considerable additions required and proposed under the headings of Judicial Buildings, Lunatic Asylums, and Hospitals. LIGHTHOUSES AND HAEBOUE WOEKS. The lighthouse at Kaipara, which was stated last year to be in progress, has since been completed, and the light has been exhibited there since the Ist December last. At Jackson's Head the beacon which was recently erected was unfortunately carried away during the very heavy gale which occurred on the 13th and 14th March last, but steps are now being taken to replace it with a structure of more substantial character. In pursuance of the Act passed last session the construction of harbour works at Westport, which had only to a very slight extent previously been undertaken by the Government, was placed in the hands of a Board, with power to borrow to the extent of £500,000, and that body is now taking vigorous steps towards the opening-up of quarries by railway, and the acquiring of all necessary plant, in order to carry out the works with efficiency and despatch. All the harbour works plant and rolling-stock which the Government had upon the ground has been handed over to the Board. The harbour works at Greymouth have also been handed over to a Board, in pursuance of the Act of last session, with power to borrow to the extent of £150,000, and they are being carried on in a vigorous and satisfactory manner; the whole of the harbour works plant and rolling-stock which the Government had upon the ground, and which in this case was of considerable extent, having been handed over to the Board, as in the Westport case. In this Greymouth case, however, a considerable amount of work had previously been done by the Government, costing in all £127,018; and, as I think it desirable to place on record the very great improvement which has resulted from the construction of these works, I will quote here a short extract from the last annual report of the Engineer-in-Chief, which puts the case very clearly: — It is now about four years since the Greymouth Harbour works began to have a beneficial effect on the bar, and this effect has gone steadily on increasing month by month as the works progressed. The following table, which gives an abstract of the depths on the bar for the last five years, shows the improvement that is taking place. It will be seen that in 1880-81 there were 305 days on which the depth was less than 12 feet, whereas in 1884-85 there were 308 days on which the depth was more than 12 feet:—

The improvements indicated in this table have resulted entirely from the construction of a mole at the south side of the river, and, in addition to carrying this on as hitherto, the Harbour Board has recently let a large contract for the construction of a training-wall on the north side. Before leaving the subject of harbour works, I may also mention that the Government has decided to ask the House to give the necessary power to both the Greymouth and Westport Harbour Boards to expend some of their funds in supplying further facilities for shipping coal at the ports, and extending the railway accommodation to the mines. In view of these proposals it should be remembered that the works are really being carried out for the benefit of the colony, as it is open to Parliament to claim them at any moment. Meanwhile under local management they appear to be progressing very satisfactorily. HAEBOUE DEFENCES. Existing Defences. —At the end of March last it was considered advisable, owing to the threatened outbreak of war with Eussia, to place the chief ports of the colony in a state of defence as far as the means at the disposal of the colony admitted, and to commence the construction of the necessary works for the reception of the guns. These works were proceeded with vigorously, and in about three months the whole of the guns available in the colony were mounted, and the necessary magazines, stores, barracks, and enclosing parapets are now in a fair state of completion. Defence Works. —At Auckland works were undertaken at North Head, Point Eesolution, and Mount Victoria. The first two works are almost completed, and the third will be completed for about £1,200. The total cost of these works when completed will be about ,£13,200. At Wellington works have been erected at Point Halswell, Gordon Point, and Kaiwarra. These works are all in a fair state of progress, and barracks have also been erected for the constabulary at Haitaitai Peninsula. The cost of the works at Wellington, when finished, will be about £15,000, which includes the making of a considerable extent of road and the erection of a redoubt on Mount Crawford. At Lyttelton works have been constructed at Battery Point, Spur Point,, and Erskine Point, and barracks have been erected for the constabulary working there. The works will shortly be completed, and their cost will be approximately £5,200. Works have been constructed at Taiaroa Head for the defence of Port Chalmers, and also on the Ocean Beach to protect Dunedin from bombardment. The cost of these works, which are also nearly completed, will be £9,600. The cost of the land will bring the total for all these works to about £52,000. Toepedo Defences. —A small number of submarine mines were supplied by the Admiral commanding the Australian Squadron. These have been laid down at Auckland, and the 64-pounder converted guns, also supplied by the navy, will be mounted at Auckland and Wellington. Proposed Additional Defences. —Taking into consideration the recent improvements which have been made in the construction of ordnance, and the methods of mounting guns in coast defences, it was considered advisable, for the better protection of the harbours, and to prevent their bombardment at long range, to provide 23 guns of the latest type, as well as 20 machine-guns, Whitehead torpedoes, and other necessary accessories for coast defences. These will be supplied shortly at a cost of £166,000. It is proposed to mount the twentythree heavy guns and the twenty machine-guns at the several ports, and also to provide for the defence of the Bluff. The cost of the works will be greatly reduced by the employment of the constabulary in their construction, which
21
D.—l
will be extended over a period of about three years. It is also proposed to establish complete systems of torpedo defence for all the ports, as, without this additional outlay, the batteries themselves are not considered to be thoroughly effective. The cost of these, including all necessary firing and observing stations, boats, cables, and stores, will be about £35,000, and will include all the most modern improvements in this branch of military science. The total cost of the scheme of defence will not exceed ,£300,000, which is considerably less than has been paid for the fortification of any of the principal Australian ports. At the same time the natural advantages afforded by the places to be defended in New Zealand, and the adoption of the latest improvements in ordnance, should render their security from attack equally well assured.. PUBLIC WOEKS FUND. On the Ist April, 1884, there was £488,912 to the credit of the Public Works Fund, to which had to be added £389,000, the last instalment of the loan of a million negotiated in January, 1884. Together these amounts make £877,912. To this must be added receipts during the year of £100,000, the proceeds oi deficiency bills ; £500,000 temporary advances ; and £845,000, the instalment of the million loan negotiated in January last, which was brought to credit before the end of the financial year. There was besides £4,113 received under section 9 of " The Eailways Construction Act, 1878." The receipts, therefore, amounted altogether to £2,327,025. As against this the expenditure was £1,336,727, leaving a balance of £990,298 on the 31st March, 1885. Of this, however, about £250,000 was outstanding as advances in the hands of officers, and there was £600,000 besides required to pay off the deficiency bills and the temporary advances. The expenses of negotiating the last million of the three-million loan had not been brought to account, but on the other hand an instalment of £155,000 of this loan remained to be paid. It will be seen, therefore, that, of that famous three-million loan, together with its little sister, the £250,000 colonial inscribed loan, all had passed away on the 31st March last, excepting about a quarter of a million and about a like amount in the hands of officers to be accounted for. In these figures the million loan authorized for the North Island Trunk Bailway has not been included: that loan, as honourable members are aware, not having as yet been raised, and the funds for the works so far undertaken on that railway having been temporarily provided by advances from loans' authorized for other purposes. These advances will, of course, have to be recouped when the loan for the North Island line is floated. The credit balance, therefore, at the commencement of the present financial year, was, as I have already stated, £990,298. To this has to be added £155,000, the last instalment, to which I have also alluded, of the three-million loan, and £1,500,000 for the loan of that amount floated in May, making together £2,645,298. On the other hand there must be deducted from this sum the £600,000 required to pay off the deficiency bills, and to repay the temporary advances obtained last year. There will thus remain a little over two millions available for expenditure on the Ist April last, subject, however, to the quarter of a million in the hands of officers to be accounted for, and subject to the cost of negotiating the million loan in January, and the million and a half in May last. It is necessary I should say a few words as to liabilities, because, although the subject is yearly explained by Ministers, there yet seems to be a considerable want of knowledge concerning it. The votes taken each year for Public Works expenditure do not represent, and are not meant to represent, the expenditure within the year. They represent expenditure on account of liabilities already existent, and authority to enter into further liabilities without reference to the time it may take to fulfil them. Hence, with two exceptions, which will be seen in the Estimates when brought before the House, the votes which I shall ask for will represent in all cases a great deal more than the proposed expenditure during the year. But honorable members, before I detail the votes, will like to know the broad estimate I make of the expenditure
22
]).—1
within this year, and of the period following it during which Parliament will have probably met, and the session be proceeding. I must first say, that when war seemed imminent, it was deemed expedient to contract expenditure, and it has not been considered desirable to much extend it during the session. Thus, during the first four months of the present year the expenditure from the Public Works Fund has proceeded at little over the rate of £850,000 a year. Some heavy orders for defence material have been given, and payment may have to be made on this account shortly. Even taking the defence expenditure into account, however, I estimate that the amounts coming in for payment up to the 31st March next may be kept within £1,250,000. Expenditure, however, will continue to proceed under the liabilities contracted without reference to any further expenditure to be authorized next session. We must always calculate upon about a quarter of a million being in the hands of officers for advances. Taking this into account and the million and a quarter of expenditure which I anticipate within the year, we shall have available, of the balance with which we began this year, about half a million for next year on the 31st March. Seeing the period at which Parliament generally meets, and the pressing business which first engages its attention, we think it desirable that provision should be made for another million, which might be negotiated at any time after March, when the opportunity seems best. I hope it will take us well into 1887, but of that, of course, the House will best be able to judge next year. Having already detailed, under their several headings, the nature of the works proposed to be undertaken during the current year, it will now, Sir, be only necessary for me to state the amounts of the votes which we propose to ask for on account of each class of undertaking. This being done, I shall have a few special remarks to make on the subject of expenditure on road works, and then I shall bring this Statement, which for various reasons I have been obliged to make an exceptionally long one, to a close. For the year now current the amounts w rhich we propose to ask the House to authorize are as follows :— For Immigration, with liabilities at the end of March amounting to £8,000, we ask for a vote of £80,373 ; thus providing for new undertakings to the extent of £22,373. For Departmental Expenditure, with liabilities of £779, we ask for a vote of £28,931. For Railway Works of all classes, with liabilities of £497,525, we ask for a vote of £1,347,400, the details for the several classes of works being as follows, namely: New works, Construction and Land, with liabilities of £231,444; amount asked for, £904,300. Additions to Opened Lines, with liabilities of £83,563; amount asked for, £172,100. Permanent-way, Sleepers, and Rolliug-stock, with liabilities of £181,586; amount asked for, £268,000. Surveys of New Lines of Railway, with liabilities of £932 ; amount asked for, £3,000. The grand total, as before stated, being £1,347,400, including liabilities existing at end of March last amounting to £497,525. This will give £849,875 for new undertakings. For Roads of all classes, with liabilities of £380,453, we ask for a vote of £586,704. This includes various classes of roads, as follows: Roads North of Auckland, with liabilities of £66,301; amount asked for, £69,229. Main Roads, with liabilities of £15,209 ; amount asked for, £45,100. Miscellaneous Roads and Bridges, with liabilities of £29,420; amount asked for, £83,974. Grants-in-aid under the Roads and Bridges Construction Act, and subsidies to local bodies, with liabilities of £166,329 ; amount asked for, £268,329. Roads to open up ■Crown Lands, with liabilities of £70,072; amount asked for expenditure this year, £70,072. Roads on Goldfields, with liabilities of £33,122; amount asked for expenditure this year, £50,000. Total for Roads of all classes, as before stated, £586,704, with liabilities of £380,453; being an addition of £2u6,251. For Waterworks on Goldfields, with liabilities of £7,369, we ask for- a vote «f £30,200.
23
D.—l
For Public Buildings, with liabilities of £10,424, we ask for a vote of £156,518. This includes school buildings, £68,230, as against liabilities at end of March last of £2,230. The vote proposed for Buildings as a whole this year is considerably less than last year, although the gross amount for school buildings is practically the same, and the amount available for school buildings, exclusive of liabilities, some £6,000 more than last year. For Lighthouses and Harbour Works (including Harbour Defences), with liabilities of £119,220, we ask for a vote of £266,010 ; thus providing £146,790 for new undertakings. The amount included in this for Harbour Defences is £250,000, as against liabilities at 31st March of £114,700, but the liabilities since that date have been largely increased, and now mount up to close upon the amount of the vote proposed. For Telegraph Extension, with liabilities of £6,000, we ask for a vote of £25,900. For Purchase of Native Lands, with estimated liabilities in all of £173,200, we ask for a vote of £70,000, that being sufficient to meet the probable payments which will become due during the current year. For Charges and Expenses of raising Loans we ask for a vote of £60,000. The total amount proposed to be voted is thus, £2,602,036, which includes liabilities amounting to £1,202,970. Deducting from these liabilities the sum of £103,200, prospective liabilities on Native land purchases, which are not at present required to be provided for, the amount available for new undertakings would thus be in all £1,502,266 ; but, as already stated, it is only contemplated to spend this year about £1,250,000, which is very slightly in excess of the liabilities already existing. In considering the proposed votes, honourable members will be reminded of what has been pointed out by the Government: the inadequate proportion for railway construction compared with that for other works, lloads and bridges have assumed a position in the expenditure charged to loans that calls for the most earnest consideration of Parliament, and, if the borrowing powers of the colony are to be restrained within reasonable and prudent limits, some change will have to be brought about in the way that sums out of loan are voted for these works. With our present land revenue and our probable future returns from the Land Fund, the Eoads and Bridges Construction Act, if left unrepealed, will entail such a burden on the colony that either our borrowing will have to be extended, or our loans will not be spent in the constructing of railways. To show how borrowed money has been expended for roads and bridges, I need only quote the following figures : — 1880-81 .... .... .... .... .... £230,844 1881-82 .... .... .... .... .... 145,948 1882-83 .... .... .... .... .... 210,605 1883-84 .... .... .... .... .... 328,641 1884-85 .... .... .... .... .... 317,043 The Eoads and Bridges Construction Act only comes into the amounts of the last two years. The amount I have mentioned for 1883-84 includes for grants under the Eoads and Bridges Construction Act £106,398, and for 1884-85 £149,982 is included; and, when we are about to propose its repeal, we have to vote £216,000 to fulfil obligations under it. If this Act remains on the statutebook, I hesitate to hazard, an estimate of what the yearly vote out of loan would grow to. The Government does not under-value the need of such colonizing works as roads and bridges, nor has the House denied their utility ; but the question is, Shall the Consolidated Fund, and the districts concerned, bear the main part of the burden, or must we go on increasing the debt of the colony for roads and bridges ? This is a matter which requires grave consideration ; but meanwhile, without risking the dangers of a too hasty alteration of the present system, we shall strive to bring about a change in the mode of charging such votes to loans. At first we can do little more than stop the tendency to increase the votes; but, notwithstanding the increase under the Act last year, we reduced the expenditure on these works by £11,000. The total vote for roads and bridges, including
24
D.—l
the amount under the Construction Act, and including the amount for subsidies, is about ,£170,000 less than last year, and I hope we shall be able to do with a less actual expenditure. Mr. Speaker, —I have extended my remarks this evening to a somewhat unusual length, so many important points having to be dealt with by any one holding the position of Minister for Public Works, and no doubt I have trespassed too long upon your patience and that of honourable members. It only now remains for me to thank you, Sir, and the House for the great indulgence you have afforded to me to-night, and to express a hope that when we meet next session the anticipations I have ventured to make may be found to be fully realized.

A total length of 80 miles 1 chain of railway has boen opened during the year—ss miles ■21 chains in the North and 24 miles 60 chains in.the Middle Island. The sections included are as follow:—
A coloured diagram, hereto appended (Enclosure No. 2), shows the length of railway opened each year since the commencement, further details being given in a tabular statement (Enclosure No. 3). . fe.oOAB,B Kawakawa Eailway. This railway, which had just been finished at the date of the last annual report, was duly opened for traffic on the 7th April, 1884. Since then a stationmaster's house, engine-shed, manager's office, and water-service have been provided, and a few additions made to the sidings and plant. Whangarei-Kamo Eailway. Beyond minor additions and improvements, there has been no construction-work carried out on this railway during the past year. The department is, however, constructing a branch to the Whauwhau coal mine at the cost of the Whangarei Coal Company. Kaipara-Waikato Eailway and Beanch. Works in Auckland. —The reclamation in the hands of the Harbour Board having been sufficiently far advanced, a contract was let in August for the Auckland passenger-station. There was at first some little delay for want of materials, but latterly the works have been progressing favourably, and they will in all probability be finished within the contract time. The Auckland station-yard is being re-arranged. A slip for timber has been erected at the goodsstation, and various minor works have been carried out in and around the new station. A carriage-painting shop, coppersmiths' shop, and coal-store have been erected at Newmarket workshops, and extensive additions made to the machinery and other appliances. Minor Improvements. —A considerable number of improvements and additions have been in progress during the year, the following being the more important: Fencing at various places; improving the alignment and grades on the Kaipara section and at the Pokeno curves on the Waikato line; drainage at Ohinewai, over-bridge at Mount Eoskill Eoad, and foot-bridge at Kyber Pass; stationmasters' houses at Auckland and Penrose; porter's cottage at Te Awamutu; two workmen's cottages; and additions to station yards and buildings at Swanson, Ellerslie, Onehunga, Hunua, Pukekohe, Taupiri and Ohaupo. Surveys. —A survey of the main line between Auckland and the Waikato, as actually constructed, is in progress; it is completed to near Taupiri. Detailed surveys have been made between the Auckland and Penrose stations, to see whether easier gradients could readily be obtained by making a deviation seaward. The plans are not yet completed, so no conclusion has been arrived at in the matter. A survey has been made of the proposed branch railway from Pukekohe to Waiuku. It commences at the Paerata station on the main line, and terminates at the Waiuku Township, the total distance being 12 miles 5 chains. A survey has also been made for a branch line and bridge across the Waikato Eiver at Huntly, to accommodate the coalfields there, and borings to test the nature of the foundations for the bridge are in progress. Waikato-Thames Eailway. Main Line. —The first section of this railway, known as the Eureka contract, was opened on the Ist October, 1884 ; it extends from Frankton junction, on the Kaipara-Waikato Eailway, to Morrinsviile, a distance of seventeen miles. All the station-buildings were not quite ready when the section was opened, but they were finished within the month following, and since then a few minor additions have been made. The formation of the Waihou section, which extends from Morrinsville to the Thames Eiver at Te Aroha, has been finished, and tenders are just in for the platelaying. The works on the Te Aroha bridge, in course of erection at the date of my last report, have been greatly retarded by the softness of the foundations, then referred to. The difficulties have, however, been overcome, and the whole structure will be completed during the ensuing month. At the Grahamstown end of the Waikato-Thames Eailway the platelaying has been finished 8~-D. 1.

on the first —Kauaeranga —section, 4-J- miles, and a contract is in preparation for the formation of the Hikutaia section, 8 miles 25 chains farther. Hamilton-Cambridge Branch. —This branch, which extends from the Buakura Junction to Hamilton, a distance of 12 miles, was opened on the Bth October, 1884, all the principal stationworks being then completed. Since that date a few minor works have been finished, and others carried out. Wellington-Napieb Eailway.—Napier to Woodville. Works on Open Line. —The more important of these works carried out, or in progress, during the year are as follows : Fencing from Waipawa to Waipukurau, and Kopua to Makotuku ; additions to engine-shed, Hastings ; stationmaster's house, Spit; water-supply at Napier, Te Aute, and Makotuku ; and general improvements to station yard and buildings at Napier. Extensions. —The extension of the railway from Makotuku to Matamau—4 miles 22 chains—was opened on the 23rd June, 1884, and from Matamau to Tahoraite—7 miles 43 chains—on the 15th December, 1884. The principal station-buildings and appliances on each of these sections were finished at the opening, but a few additions have since been made. Tenders are now called for the formation and platelaying on the Tamaki section—l 3 miles 43 chains—which brings the railway within 1-J- miles of Woodville. The station at Woodville, the site of which is now fixed, and the approach thereto, will form a separate contract. Surveys. —The land-plan surveys for the sections between Makotuku and Tahoraite are finished, and several trial surveys have been made in the vicinity of Woodville for the lines concentrating there. Wellington-Napieb Eailway.—Wellington to Woodville. Works on Open Line. —ln anticipation of the increased traffic when the West Coast lines are connected, it was some time since decided to re-arrange the Wellington station, and the work has been commenced. The Ngahauranga station has been entirely remodelled and largely extended. The other works on the open line during the year of sufficient importance to be enumerated are : Waiohine Eiver protection;. strengthening bridges Cross Creek to Featherston; water-service, Woodside ; and erection of platelayers' cottages. Extension from Masterton. —The works on the Opaki Section, which were taken out of the contractor's hands and carried on by the department, have been greatly retarded by floods and bad weather. An exceptionally-large flood, which occurred in September, carried away six 20-ft. spans of the Waipoua bridge and the scaffolding of the Euamahunga bridge, besides damaging othe>portions of the works. The Waipoua bridge is being rebuilt with cylinder piers. The completion of this bridge and the platelaying are now the only works unfinished on the Opaki section. The Kopuaranga section has also been retarded by bad weather, but there has been comparatively little damage from flood. The works are well advanced, but will scarcely be finished within contract time. Surveys. —Surveys have been made and plans prepared for the continuation of the Welling-ton-Woodville line for 7-J miles beyond the Kopuaranga section, viz.—to Bkatahuna. Aioapurua Bridge. —This bridge, which is situated near the Woodville end of the WellingtonWoodville line, is intended for both road and railway. Dp to the date of my last annual report the work was not progressing satisfactorily, but since then better progress has been made; the difficulties in sinking the foundations have been overcome, and the structure is now rapidly approaching completion. Foxton-New Plymouth Eailway. Works on open Lines. —The more important works under this head that have been in progress during the year are —Fencing and planting sandhills between Foxton and Carnarvon ; fencing and draining near the Oroua bridge, and fencing at Sentry Hill; level crossings between the Oroua bridge and Palmerston; drainage and river-protective works at Patea; cattle-pens and stages at Halcombe, Greatford, Marton, and Smart Eoad; and additions to station-buildings at Foxton, Palmerston, Manutahi, Hawera, and New Plymouth. New Sections. —The last link in railway communication between Foxton and New Plymouth was completed on the 23rd instant by the opening of- the portion between Manutahi and Hawera. This length, which contains very heavy works, had been divided into two contracts, the Manawapou, 2 miles 67 chains, and the Tangalioe, 6 miles 37 chains. The contractor for the Manawapou section having discontinued the works they were taken up and finished by the department. With the exception of minor details and painting, the stations on the new portions were finished when the line was opened. New Plymouth to Breakwater. —A contract has been prepared for the extension of the railway from New Plymouth station to the breakwater, and tenders are about to be called for the work. The length of the section, which is called the Moturoa contract, is 2 miles 35 chains. Surveys. —Eight miles of the survey of the railway as actually constructed have been made at the Taranaki end, and the land plans for about 26 miles at various places between Waitara and Manutahi have been prepared. Palmeeston-Woodville Eailway. A vote having been taken for this line last session the detailed survey of the portion through the Manawatu Gorge was commenced in December. As the country is exceedingly rough the survey is a tedious and laborious piece of work, which cannot be done in a hurry. The field-work, however, is now nearly finished and the plans are well advanced; the whole should be completed by the end of May. Although there is a large quantity of heavy work in the Gorge, there is nothing exceptional in the way of long tunnels and high viaducts, and a good line can be got without an exorbitant outlay.

North Island Main Tkunk Eailway. Contracts. —The route of the Main Trunk line having been determined by Parliament, arrangements were made for proceeding vigorously with the detailed survey. Twelve engineers and surveyors were put on the work as soon as it could be apportioned out to them. At this date two contracts are advertised for tender : the Puniu section, 15 miles 2 chains, at the northern—Te Awamutu —end, and the Porowa section, 12 miles 54 chains, at the southern —Marton—end. The survey is also finished for 12 miles farther at the northern and 8 miles at the southern end. One of the heaviest works on the line is a tunnel through the Purotarau saddle, between the Mokau and Wanganui watersheds, about 48 miles from Te Awamutu. As it will take a long time to construct, and so might retard the other works, it is proposed to put it in hand at once. With this view a survey of the tunnel site has been made, and the contract will be ready for advertising in a few weeks. Six miles of the formation of the Puniu section was reserved to be given to the Natives by piecework. They have with great alacrity taken the whole of it up, so it is intended to reserve a further length beyond the Puniu section to be done in the same manner. Contracts have been prepared for three stationmasters' houses, to be erected at various places on the line, to be occupied in the meantime by engineers and inspectors engaged on construction. lioads. —As the Main Trunk Railway goes for the most part through country difficult of access, and in which there has been no European settlement, it is necessary to make-roads to certain points, to facilitate the carrying out of the works. A road 2 miles long has been commenced from Whenuahou, on the south side of the Puniu Eiver, to Kawa, the first station on the line. In addition to giving access to the railway, it forms a portion of a road that will ultimately lead to Kawhi.l. The works are being done entirely by Maori labour, by the piece, about fifty men being employed. A survey is in progress of a road alongside the line from Te Koura to Waimiha, about 15 mile i. This road will connect the Purotarau tunnel with the point up to which the Ongarue branch of the Wanganui is navigable for canoes. It is proposed to have all the work done by the Natives. Another road is being surveyed from Ranana, on the Wanganui River, westward, in the direction of the Murimotu Plain. Navigation of Wanganui Biver. —As a means of giving access to the railway works during construction, it has been proposed to improve the navigation of the Wanganui River, so as to make it available for steamers. A reconnaissance survey, including particulars of the work required, has been made, and the river has been several times examined by officers of the department. The conclusion arrived at from these investigations is that the Wanganui River can be made navigable for small steamers of light draught at a reasonable cost. There are no serious obstructions right up to Tauinaranui—l4o miles from the sea—the point where the railway strikes th» river. Independently of giving access to the railway during construction, the improvement of the Wanganui is a work of considerable importance in connection with the traffic on the railway. For the whole distance from Tauinaranui to the open country, 10 miles from the sea, the river flows through gorges and canons of surpassing beauty and grandeur, so it cannot fail to become a popular tourists' route. Tourists will go north and south by rail to Taumaranui, and by road from Napier, and thence down the river to the Town of Wanganui. Nelson-Roundell Railway. Open Line. —The additions to the open lino carried out during the year have been few and unimportant ; they consist mainly of the enlarging of stationmaster's house and other station-buildings and some drainage works. A contract has also been entered into for groins at the Wai-iti bridge. Extension. —The only extension of the railway in progress daring the year was the formation of the Wai-iti section, 2|- miles, commmenced in July, 1873. The work was finished in February, 1885. Surveys. —A preliminary survey has been made of the continuation of the line from Roundell ■io the Hope Junction, to complete the information supplied to the delegates who went to London in connection with the railway. The land-plan survey of the Wai-iti section has been completed, and the land taken by Proclamation. Westport-Ngakawau Railway. Railway. —The expenditure on this line during the year has been mainly on additions to the staiths at Westport, shelter-shed at Ngakawau, and additions to the rolling-stock. West/port Harbour Works. —The half-tide training-wall in progress at the end of last year was finished in May. The quantity of stone deposited during the financial year was 1,400 tons, which completed the wall to its full length. The other works under this head for the year were the removal of the Nelson Street groin and dredging at the goods wharf, both of which were satisfactorily completed. The survey of the rail"way to Cape Foul wind has also been finished. The Westport Harbour works, together with all the plant used on them, were formally handed over to the Harbour Board as soon as that Board was constituted. Enclosure No. 4 gives a table showing the depth on the Buller bar at each high water of spring- and neap-tides, from June, 1879, to March, 1885. It is compiled from information kindly supplied by the Harbourmaster. _ ,4?KEyMOUTH-NELSON CEEEK RAILWAY. • Railway. —The extension of the wharf at Greymouth, a contract for which had been let in October, 1833, was completed, early in February last. Additions have been made to the watersupply at Groyinouth, the platform at Omotomoto, and the stationmaster's house at Brunnerton,
D.—l
32
and the rolling-stock has been increased. A footway for passengers is in course of construction on the Grey Gorge bridge. Greymouth Harbour Works. —The appropriation for the previous year having been expended, these works were stopped at the end of May, and, in consequence of the constitution of a Harbour Board last session, they were not resumed by the department. Up to the time of stoppage the advance in the southern breakwater for the two months of the financial year then expired was 26 feet. The total quantity of materials of all kinds executed and deposited was 7,880 tons. The cost of the material per ton was 3s. 4d., the same as in 1883-84, but the cost of the breakwater per foot had increased from £79 to £93. This increase, however, is mainly due to the necessity for protecting the end of the breakwater with heavy blocks when the work was to be stopped. Although well out and exposed to the full force of the sea in heavy weather for many months, the breakwater has suffered no damage. It is now about four years since the Greymouth Harbour works began to have a beneficial effect on the bar, and this effect has gone steadily on increasing month by month as the works progressed. The following table, which gives an abstract of the depths on the bar for the last five years, shows the improvement that is taking place. It will be seen that in 1880-81 there were 305 days on which the depth was less than 12 feet, whereas in 1884-85 there were 308 days on which the depth was more than 12 feet:—
Enclosure No. 4 gives the depth of water on the Grey bar at each high water of spring- and neap-tides every month from June, 1879, to March, 1885. The statement is prepared from information kindly supplied by the Harbourmaster and the captain of the tug. Gebtmouth-Hokitika Bail way. The small formation section at the Hokitika end of this line was finished in June, and tenders are now advertised for the platelaying of 4 miles. The platelaying contract includes the section just mentioned and 3 miles previously done. PICTON-HUKUNUI BAILWAY. Picton to Awatere Section. —Plans have been prepared, and tenders are now invited, for extending Picton wharf 100 ft., to increase the accommodation for shipping. The other works on the open line during the year were small unimportant additions to stations. A contract for the formation of the Dashwood section—3J miles —was entered into in July. The works, which are rather heavy, have not been pushed on vigorously. Hurunui-Waitaki Bailway and Bkanches. Main-line Extension. —The Horsley Downs section, which brings the railway to the terrace on the southern bank of the Hurunui, was finished and handed over to the Working Bailway Department on the 15th September, 1884. It was open for goods traffic only on the 28th October, 1884 ; there being no main road leading to the present terminus, it is not worth while running passengertrains till a further extension is ready. A contract for the completion of the Hurunui bridge, with iron cylinders, was entered into in November, and the works are now proceeding rapidly. The contract includes formation and platelaying from the end of the Horsley Downs section to the south end of the bridge. The Balmoral contract, which included the formation, bridges, and station-buildings between the Hurunui and the proposed terminus near the Bed Post, was finished in February. The platelaying on this section cannot, however, be put in hand till the Hurunui bridge is completed, probably by end of September next. Main Line : Works on Open Lines. —The works under this head for the past year have not been extensive nor numerous. The principal ones are: Fencing Pareora to St. Andrew, cliffprotection near Timaru; engine-driver's house at Waikari; platelayer's cottage at Waihao ; coalshed at Ashburton; addition to water-services at Amberley, Bangiora, Kaiapoi, Bolleston, Selwyn, and Studholme ; and general improvements and additions at Belfast, Bangiora, Addington, Hinds, "Winchester, Timaru, Otaio, and Studholme. Branch-line Extension. —The second formation-section along Lake Forsyth, on the LincolnLittle Biver Branch, was finished in November. This completes the formation to 19-J- miles from Lincoln. The section from this point to Little Biver was commenced in August, 1884, and closed in February, 1885, under piecework. A large quantity of earthwork and pitching was done at reasonable prices. A contract to complete this section, including platelaying and stations, is now advertised. A contract has been entered into for the extension—24 chains—of the White Cliffs Branch across the Selwyn Biver, to give better facilities to the coal traffic.

A survey is in progress for the extension of the Upper Ashburton Branch across the river to a convenient point for a station opposite the Mount Somers Township. The station-buildings on the Fairlie Creek Branch in progress at the date of last year's report were duly completed a month thereafter. The Oxford-Malvern line, although under a separate appropriation, is really part of the Hurunui-Bluff system ;it should therefore be noticed here. The alterations to the Waimakariri Bridge, referred to in the last annual report, having been completed, the line was opened on the 7th August, 1884. Branch Railways : Works on Open Lines. —These also have been unimportant. The only ones worth mentioning arc: Fencing Albury Branch; additions to sidings at Lyttelton, Lincoln, Ladbrookes, and White Cliffs; platform and. shelter-sheds at Rabbit Island, Kaitum- Tengawai, and Coal Creek ; engine-driver's house at White Cliffs; and additions to buildings at Birdling's and Pleasant Point. Land Plans. —With the exception of about 30 miles, which are also in hand, complete land plans have now been prepared oi all the railways in Canterbury. Waitaki-Bluff Eailway and Beanohes. Main-line : Works on Open Line. —The most important construction work in progress on the main line during the year is the Dunedin Station. With the exception of the passenger-station, the superstructure of which has not been gone on with, the various buildings in course of erection at the date of last annual report are finished, and others have been removed to positions in the new station-yard. The reclamation, platelaying, and buildings were sufficiently far advanced to admit of the whole traffic being turned into the new station on the Ist November ; and since then the greater portion of the works necessary for present requirements have been finished. The only large works not completed arc the passenger-station and the over-bridge. It was decided to remove the old station to the arrival-platform, and make it serve for some time; consequently nothing has been done to the new station beyond completing the foundations, which were under contract. The abutments and piers of the over-bridge were finished in December. Nothing has yet been done towards the erection of the superstructure, but the iron for it is now arriving. The other more important construction-works carried out or in progress on the open portion of the main line during the year are : Fencing at Abbotsford; stream diversion at Owhiro; connection with wharf and additions to engine-shed at Oamaru; additions to water-service at Palmerston and Woodlands; stationmasters' houses at Gore and Edendale; goods-shed at Milburn ; loading-bank at Clinton; cattle-yards at Herbert; and general additions and improvements at Teschmaker's, Waihemo, Henley, Arthurton, Pukerati, Otikarama, Waikaka, Mataura, and Invercargill. Branch Baihoays ; Works on Open Lines. —The works under this head for the year have been few and unimportant. The following are the only ones worth enumerating : Fencing at Mount Stuart; relaying Duntroon and Ngapara lines with heavier rails ; siding at Queen's Flat; shelter-shed at Waiareka Junction ; additional accommodation at Lawrence; water-supply and loading-bank at Waipahi; and removal of engine-shed from Kelso to Heriot. Branch-line Extensions. —The contract for the second tunnel on the Ngapara-Livingston Branch, which was entered into at the end of last year, has just been completed in a satisfactory manner, and within the contract time. A portion of the formation was thrown open for piecework last winter, but comparatively few men availed themselves of the w Tork, the total expenditure being under £700. It is now proposed to call for tenders for the completion of the works in one contract. A contract for the permanent-way and stations on the Palmerston-Waihemo Branch was entered into in November, and the works are now well advanced. They are expected to be finished within contract time, the 29th August. A contract was entered into in November for the completion of the formation and bridges, together with the platelaying and stations, on the Catlin's Eiver Branch. The works, which are going on satisfactorily, will probably be finished in August. This completes the branch to the Port Molyneux Eoad. The formation of the first 3 miles of the Seaward Bush Eailway was completed early in the year, and the second formation-section —2-| miles farther—is expected to be finished next month. The formation on the first 7 miles of the Eiversdale-Switzer's Branch, a contract for which had been entered into in January, 1883, was satisfactorily completed in September, 1884. Land Plans. —Out of a total of about 400 miles on the Waitaki-Bluff Eailway, 275 miles of land plans are completed, and 100 miles well advanced. Otaqo Central Eailway. The formation of the Wingatui section, 7f miles, which has been in operation since 1879, was finished in August last, and a contract is now advertised for the platelaying and stations. The piecework in progress on the Hindon section at the end of last year has been discontinued, and a contract let for the completion of the principal cuttings A contract has also been let for the five small tunnels that occur on this section. With the exception of finishing some of the smaller cuttings, and the general trimming-rip of the earthworks, these works comprise all that is now required to complete the formation on the Hindon section. One of the most important works on the Otpgo Central Eailway is the bridging of Mullocky Gully, which is crossed at a level of 145 ft. above the bed of the creek. After careful consideration it was decided to take the railway across the valley on an iron viaduct of eight spans —three of 106 ft. and five of 66ft., called the Wingatui viaduct. The girders which are on the lattice principle, are supported by stone abutments, two concrete piers, and five braced malleable-iron piers. Tenders were called for the manufacture and erection of the ironwork in the colony, the unwrought materials only being imported. After fair competition a contract has been let on

favourable terms. A contract is also in preparation for the masonry and concrete-works, which are of considerable magnitude. The Deep Stream contract, which had been abandoned by both the original contractor and his sureties, was ultimately re-let in February. The works are now proceeding in a satisfactory manner, some 200 men being employed. The Nenthorn section, which brings the railway to the beginning of the easy country at StrathTaieri, has progressed steadily during the year, but scarcely so rapidly as to insure the completion of the work within contract time. In addition to the small formation-works on the Hindon section, above referred to, all that is now required to make the line ready for the rails right through the heavy country is about 30 chains of bridging at various places. It is proposed to use iron, stone, and concrete in these structures, as in the Wingatui viaduct. Arrangements are now being made to put them in hand. As the work of erecting them must go on simultaneously with the platelaying, nothing would have been gained commencing them sooner. Being partly chargeable to the Otago Central Railway reference may be made here to the contract for creosoted sleepers now advertised. In order to utilize the less durable native timbers it has been decided to call for tenders for 150,000 of these sleepers, so as to insure the establishment of creosoting works in the colony. Invercargill-Kingston Railway, with Beanch. There has been no new railway in progress under this head during the year, and the constructionworks on the open lines have been few and unimportant. The following are the only ones worth mentioning : River-protective works and water-openings at various places ; loading-bank at Parrawa; shelter-shed at Lind's Bridge ; and sundry additions to sidings and buildings at Wallacetown Crossing and Winton. Western Railways. After many vicissitudes and delays the Orepuki line, begun by the Province of Otago, is now practically completed ;it will be ready for opening during the ensuing month. With the exception of a few minor works, the railway is fully provided with station accommodation and appliances. The more important construction-works carried out or in progress on the open lines during the year are : water-openings at various places ; good-sheds at Woodlaw and Ofcautau; water-services at Thornbury, Riverton, and Otautau ; and minor improvements at Waimutuku. Surveys op New Lines. The only surveys of importance under this head are those from the Bast and West Coast Eailway of the Middle Island, and from the extension northwards of the Kaipara-Waikato in the North Island. Although coming into the operations of the year now under review, the East and West Coast surveys were really dealt with last session, a special report having been made by the Assistant Engineer-in-Chief. With reference to the extension northwards of the Kaipara-Waikato line, further explanations and reconnaissance surveys have been made by the Inspecting Engineer. The result of these, together with detailed information as to the resources of the country intersected by the proposed railway, are appended hereto—Enclosure No. 5. Enclosures. This report is accompanied by the following enclosures : — 1. Maps of the North and Middle Islands, showing, in distinctive colours, the railways open, under construction, and proposed. 2. Diagrams showing mileage of railway opened each year. 3. Statement showing lengths of railways authorized, constructed, and surveyed. 4. Statement of depths of water on Buller and Grey bars. 5. Correspondence relative to, and report, with map, by Inspecting Engineer, on proposed extension northwards of the Kaipara-Waikato Railway.

Enclosure 5 in Appendix H. No. 1. Memorandum for the Hon. the Minister for Public Works re proposed Bail way Communication from Whangarei to Kawakawa. Public Works Department, Wellington, 25th September, 1884. In reply to your question concerning the above, I have to state that an aneroid survey was macfe in 1880 of the proposed route, about thirty miles long. The cost is roughly estimated at about £7,000 per mile. The country is roughish for about four and a half miles, starting from Kamo, beyond which to about 13 miles it is subject to floods after every rain, and considerable drainageworks would be necessary. There are two alternate lines by which a summit about two miles outside of Kamo might be surmounted: the shortest and most favourable would involve making a tunnel about 25 chains long. At about 10 miles the kauri bush spoken of begins. Particulars of this bush you will find <>n memorandum attached below. To construct, say, ton miles of line to connect with this bush would cost, £75,000 to £80,000, and I believe this would bring very considerable traffic to the railway. Should the work be approved, I should without hesitation recommend it to be made as a Government line. John Blackett.
Copy of TelegramAuckland, 30th May, 1883. Be Puhipuhi Block, Whangarei—For Hon. Mr, Eolleston's information, the block contains 25,QQ0 acres, about 5,000 acres first-class land, valued at 155.; the rest, 7s. 6d. The block contains; also about 4,000 acres magnificent kauri, worth about 6s. per acre. Total value of the block, £32,250. I am valuing the kauri at very much less than private individuals do. S. Pebcy Smith, The Surveyor-General, Wellington. Assistant Surveyor-General.
Memorandum. —Additional information given by Mr. Gill: The area bought by the Government is 19,290 acres of first-class virgin kauri bush, containing trees varying from 3|ft. to 6-J-ft. and 7ft. in ■diameter ; much of the bush of a level character. The block is crossed by a range of hills in its northern part.
No. 2. Mr. Knoepp to the Engineee-in-Chief. Kawakaiua—Kamo Baihvay. Sib,— Auckland, 17th November, 1884. I have tho honour to report that I have examined, with Mr. Vickerman, the route connecting these two sections. If it is intended to connect in the shortest and most inexpensive manner, the line starting from the Karuo Station and ascending the first ridge on the western side should be taken, and than, with few adjustments, the line generally of Mr. Viekerman's preliminary survey. The section constructed from Kamo up to 13th mile on survey (13 miles 70 chains in length) would opon up tho gooi land on it—the Puhipuhi bush and the gumfiolds adjoining. This, line goes to the wost of Hikurangi Mountain. If it is, however, intended to give access, to the Hikurangi coalfield, then the line should go to the east of Hikuraugi Mountain. A survey of this deviation should be made, and will probably be more than a mile longer, and more expensive, than the western route. At the Kawakawa end, which is the most expensive part of the section, and which passes through poor gumiields, it will be advisable to try a line starting from the end of the present railway, following up the main valley through the Scoria Flat to where the Eamarama branches off to the south, thence along the valley of the Eamarama, till the present survey line is joined at 21 miles. This would probably be four miles longer, but would save the tunnel, the Waiorneo Gorge, ,",nd would be nearer to Main Trunk Bail way (north), which will eventually probably pass about six miles west of Kawakawa present terminus. From my previous explorations up to Whangarei it appears to me that the main trunk line will pass both'Whangarei and Kawakawa tp the west, and that it will be advisable to treat both sections as coal lines chiefly, with good ports at each terminus, to which comparatively easy connections can hereafter be made. Mr. Vickerman has been fully instructed, in case you decide to have further preliminary surveys made. I have, &q., 0. B. Knoepp, Inspecting Engineer.
No. 3. Mr. Knoepp to the Engineer-in-Chief. Sic, — Auckland, 28th February, 1885. I have the honour to report, according to instructions from Sir J. Vogel contained in the accompanying telegram, All the kauri timber from the Puhipuhi Forest (with the exception of about a hundred acres) must be taken down the Wairua and its tributaries; that pn the Kawakawa side will not go by railway at all, but direct into the bay.

I).—1
The distance from Kamo of the proposed Puhipuhi-Kaino section is 15 miles 10 chains, and the average distance of the timber to be hauled to Kamo will be about 13 miles 50 chains; whilst the distance from the terminus to Kawakawa by the red line is 15 miles 60 chains, and the average distance which the timber would have to be hauled is 17 miles 20 chains, or 3 miles 30 chains in favour of Kamo. The estimated cost of the line from Puhipuhi terminus to Kawakawa along the red lino is £96,000, including the cost of the tunnel, which is 23 chains long ; and, although only 50 chains longer than the Kaino portion, its estimated cost is £22,000 higher. If the green line is adopted, so as to go through the Eamarama and Te Kopuru Valleys, the total distance will be increased by about six miles, and the estimated cost by £15,000, making the total cost of this section on the green line £111,000; whilst the distance of haulage of the timber from the Puhipuhi Forest will be 23 miles 20 chains via Kawakawa, against 13 miles 50 chains via Kamo. The greater part of the land along the red line belongs to Government; on the greon line the greater part belongs to the Natives, and no maps or surveys of it exist. A coal ssam about 7ft. thick is known near the point where the red and green line diverge, and there are indications of coal along the Hukerenui Block (which should be reserved from sale), and also north and west of the lines. The country is exceedingly broken, consisting of high ridges only a few feet wide on top, and intersected by gullies several hundred feet deep. There is a little good land in the beds of the Hukeronui and Eamarama Valleys. There is very little kauri timber to be seen, except in a few isolated patches, not amounting to forty acres in all. There are also a few isolated kauri trees on the slopes of the hills, but it would cost more to get them out than they are worth. There are some manganese deposits on these spurs, but until manganese is of more value than at present it will not pay to work it. No doubt the present accommodation for shipping at Opua, Bay of Islands, is superior to that at Whangarei wharf, but a very few comparatively inexpensive additions to the latter will meet the requirements of traffic. Unless special additional coal mines are opened out and profitably worked, any further railway extension at the Kawakawa end will cause an unprofitable expenditure, which the small amount of through traffic of passengers and goods that can possibly be expected will not justify. I have, &c, The Engineer-in-Chief, Wellington. C. B. Knoepp, Inspecting Engineer.
Enclosure in No. 3. Sir J. Vogel to Mr. C. B. Knokpp, Inspecting Engineer, Wlruigarei or elsewhere. (Telegram.) Auckland, 21st February, 1885. A deputation has waited on me from Kawakawa, representing that it would be much more expedient to tap the Puhipuhi Forest by a line from Kawakawa than from Kamo. Their statements are as follows : The distance between Kawakawa and Puhipuhi is about twelve miles ; that the route, excepting one small hill, would be a good one, that only a short tunnel would be required, and that the line on the whole would be cheap, that nearly all the land between Kawakawa and Puhipuhi belongs to the Government, that the land is fairly good and with patches of kauri on it, that also it probably contains extensive coal and manganese deposits. They also state that by diverting the line three miles it would tap a large forest near Kawakawa called Te Kopuru. They finally contend that connection with Kamo means connection with Whangarei, which is a very inferior harbour compared with the harbour of the Bay of Islands, at the Kawakawa end. I want you to thoroughly examine the line between Puhipuhi and Kawakawa, and to report upon these statements. As already agreed, you will do the same between Kamo and Puhipuhi; and we shall know the respective advantages of the two routes. Julius Vogel.
No. 4. Mr. Knoepp to the Engineee-in-Chief. Sir,— Auckland, 28th February, 1885. As directed by Sir J. Vogel, I have the honour to report that I have examined into the statements made by the seven delegates from Whangarei and find them substantially correct. If the railway is extended from Kamo to a point marked 13 miles on the accompanying tracing, the whole of the Puhipuhi Forest (with the exception of about a hundred acres) will be tapped, and the valuable kauri timber of this forest, of which 19,490 acres are Crown lands, can be brought to it by the creeks draining into the Wairua. A part of the kauri has been already burnt, and, as there is very little mixed bush with it, its total destruction cannot be delayed for a long time, unless costly precautionary measures are taken. No doubt a township would spring up at the terminus, because the cutting-out of the timber would extend over several years, and because there is some fair land for settlement in the valleys. • A preliminary line, as shown in red, has been taken to the west of Hikuran.ri Mountain ; but, as it runs for some distance through a swamp, liable to heavy floods, it may be advisable to take the railway to the east of the mountain, as shown in green. This will bring the railway about two miles nearer to the coalfield, which is on the east side of the mountain, and includes the Government Coalfield Reserve, Ngatahuna, containing. 882 acres. There are three outcrops of coal, of about 6ft. thickness each, known on this and adjoining private land ; and limestone is close to the green line. The homestead districts of Otonga and Opuawhanga, on which there are eighty families settled, and of which still 60,000 acres are Crown lands, adjoin and surround the reserve. The distance from Kamo to 13 miles along the green line will be 15 miles 10 chains, and will, approximately, cost £75,000, exclusive of land, and, although 1 mile 20 chains longer than the red line, will also better accommodate the timber traffic from the Whakapara Stream.

D.—l
The number of resident occupiers in the Hikurangi District has been given to me as thirty, and in the Kaurihorihori District as forty-four; so that there are 150 families along this route. The swamps round the Hikurangi Mountain, stated to contain 40,000 acres, have only an area of about 20,000 acres. Accurate sections and cross sections taken by Mr. Vickerman show that the estimated cost of lowering the bed of the Wairau from the falls upwards is £40,000. The straightening the tortuous river-course above the falls cannot be done under £5,000, snagging it will cost £5,000, cutting main and minor drains, £5,000. The total cost of draining the 20,000 acres will be £55,000, or £2 15s. per acre. When thus drained the land may possibly sell at that price, as it includes a large area of kahikatea swamps, which, when burnt off and sown with grass, will make first-class grazing land. Still, the greater part of the swamps consist of deep peat soil, which may not prove profitable. Some of the layers of the Kamo coal coke, and possibly some of the layers of the Hikurangi coal will also coke; still, all these coals cannot be classified and sold as coking coal. I could not procure any evidence that some of the settlers had refused £5 an acre offered them by the Kawakawa Coal Company, but the manager of that company showed me a letter from a settler offering to sell his land in the Hikurangi coalfields at £4 per acre, on terms. Where the Kamo Coal Company have paid from £5 to £17 an acre for land, I am informed that this price included houses and improvements on plots of land which have been worked as farms. The steamers do not call at the Township of Whangarei, but at the railway wharf; and, although there are now three steamers running twice a week, it is a question if they are doing so .at a profit, as the charges for passengers are unusually low, and freight is also taken at competition prices between the rival steam-shipping companies. The returns from the Whangarei-Kamo Railway show that, from the 19th July, 1884, to the :3rd January, 1885, the expenditure varied from 9743 to 93-44 per cent, of the receipts ; so that this railway may be taken as paying working expenses, but not renewals. The local railway manager expects that, as soon as the Whauwhau branch is completed, the increased income will reduce the expenditure to 75 per cent, of the receipts, which will represent about 2 per cent, interest on the cost of this railway, returned as having been £61,000. The railway is required in the interest of the Puhipuhi Forest, and, with the prospect of the additional traffic from one or two coal mines in the Hikurangi coalfield, it cannot fail to pay very fair interest on the additional £75,000, its estimated cost, as long as the timber traffic lasts, and perhaps after that period if ■settlement increases along its route, of which there also appear fair prospects. I have, &c, C. B. Knobpp, Inspect ng Engineer. P.S.—I enclose telegram from Sir J. Vogel to the Hon. the Minister for Public Works, which was given me by the former to inquire into and report on. C.B.K.
No. 5. Mr. Knobpp to the Engineer-in-Chief. •Sib,— Wellington, 23rd April, 1885. I have the honour to report, as directed, on extension of the Main Trunk Line northwards from Helensville. I have examined the country inland from Whangarei (Maungakaramea) to Omapere Hill, and find, as pointed out in my letter of the 17th November, 1884, that the main railway north of Auckland should not be taken to Whangarei, bat carried further inland, as shown approximately on the accompanying plans. After crossing the Tauraroa Stream, the line should turn off to the west and pass along the stream near the Maungakaramea cheese factory, through the ridge which extends between the Maungakaramea and Mauiigatapere Hills —this can be done with moderate rise and cutting—down one of the branches of the Waonepu Stream, through some broken country, along the Mangarotiti, across the Whakapirou, round the west of Wharekote Hill, across the Wairua near the falls to below the junction of the Hikurangi and the Mangakahia, follow the Mangakahia through the gorge, on whichever side of the river proves most favourable, to its junction with the Awarua, follow the Awarua to its junction with the Waitukuhuruturu (Paramurua), over this stream generally until it approaches the watershed between the Wairua and Hokianga Basins west of Hautoro Hill, then across the Opau, Punakatere, along the Wairoro, past Kaikohe, through the saddle east of Omapere Hill to the eastern shore of Omapere Lake, beyond which my investigations have not extended. For the whole of this distance, except some four or five miles between Maungakaramea and Maungatapere, and for about four miles through the Mangakahia Gorge, the formation will be of an average nature, with moderate grades and work, the lowest point along this line being near the Wairua Falls, 70ft., and the highest near the Omapere Hill, 700 ft., above sea-level. The saddle near Maungakaramea is aoout 150 ft. above the nearest stream, and the saddle between Wairua and Hokianga basins about 80ft. above surrounding lower country and 390 ft. above sea-level. Owing to the undulating nature of the country, and the impossibility of getting exactly along the line sketched without cutting special tracks, it will be necessary to run a trial line along it before even an approximate estimate can be made. The following Crown lands, which have been classified as below by the Survey Department, will be brought into communication by this route: Maungakaramea, first class, 1,750 acres; Maungatapere, one-third first, two-tbirds second, class, 6,090 acres; Purua, all first and second class, 13,900 acres ; Tongihua, second class, 14,300 acres; One, second class, 3,968 acres; Opukete, second class, 348 acres; Takapekarau, second class, 5,220 acres; Waerekahakaha, second class, 2,520 acres; Kairara, second class, 25,700 acres; Opouteke, two-thirds first, one-third second class, 42,000 acres ; Tokawero No. 1, first class, 2,033 acres ; Aukumeroa, first class, 3,045 acres ; Aukumeroa No. 2, first-class, 1,327 acres; Waimatanui, second class, 4,260 acres; Waaku No. 2, onejfir-thitds, 10—D. 1.

two-thirds second class, 8,017 acres; Wharoro, second class, 839 acres; Awarua, first class, 3,100 acres; Whaoku No. 1, one-half first, one-half second class, 17,650 acres; One, second class, 1,348 acres : total, 157,415 acres. Of this, the first-class land is very rich, and equal to the best land in Hawke's Bay or Canterbury. The second class will also form good agricultural and pastoral land when cleared. On the Waaku Nos. 1 and 2 and Waimatanui there is a considerable amount of good kauri forest. The first-class land in Opouteke and Waaku Nos. 1 and 2 will be specially suitable for sub-tropical cultivation. On the section between Helensville and Maungakaramea there are the following Crown lands : Kaukapakapa, one-fourth first, three-fourths second class, 1,130 acres ; Makarau, one-fourth first, three-fourths second class, 6,250 acres; Komokoriki, second class, 1,630 acres ; Ahuroa, second class, 6,000 acres ; Tauhoa, one-eighth first, seven-eighths second class, 12,000 acres ; Hoteo, second class, 3,730 acres ; Pakiri, second class, 6,740 acres; Pakiri Block, second class, 15,750 acres; Mangawhai, third class, 7,120 acres ; Kaiwaka, one-fourth second, three-fourths third class, 560 acres ; Waipu, one-half second, one-half third class, 32,170 acres ; Paparoa, one-half second, onfe-lialf third class, 2,460 acres; Mareretn, one-eighth first, one-eighth second, six-eighths third class, 15,400 acres; Matakohe, one-half second, one-half third class, 1,245 acres; Omaru, onefourth first, three-fourths second class, 6,120 acres ; Tauraroa, one-fourth first, three-fourths second, class, 2,610 acres; surplus of Walton's grant, second class, 4,898 acres ; Ruakaka, one-half second, one-half third class, 4,940 acres; Waikiekie, second class, 775 acres: total, 131,528 acres. There is some kauri on Kaukapakapa and Makarau, and much kauri on Omaru and the surplus of Walton's grant. The distance from Helensville to Omapere Lake is about 110 miles, and, if l-in-40 grades and 7-J-chain curves are adopted on the difficult parts of the line, it may probably be constructed and equipped at an average cost of £6,500 per mile, or for the sum of £715,000; 67,210 acres of first-class Crown land, 182,296 acres of second-class Crown land, and 39,447 acres of third-class Crown 1and—288,943 acres—will be brought into communication by it. I have, &c, The Engineer-in-Chief, Wellington. C. B. Knobpp, Inspecting Engineer. P.S.—lt is stated on good authority that between Maungakaramea and Omapere there are 252,000,000 ft. of kauri, 20,000,000 ft. of totara, and 2,000,000 ft. of puriri; of which, 152,000,000 ft, of kauri is on Crown land.—C.B.K.

Sir,— Public Works Office, 31st March, 1885. I have the honour to submit the following report on roads, miscellaneous works, and buildings for the year ending the 31st March, 1885. AUCKLAND DISTEICT. Pukekohe-Waiukn Boacl. —Contracts all completed, as well as an additional contract for blinding the metalling, which work was found to be necessary. Karamu Boad-diversion. —This work, including a bridge and 48 chains of road, was finished on the 24th December, 1884. Great South and Onehunga Boads. —A contract on the Onehunga Road, called Birdgrove Bridge Contract, including a drain, side-walls, and widening the old embankment to the full width of the road, was finished on the 13th December, 1884. Drury Creak Bridge. —A contract for rebuilding this bridge was lot on the 11th February, and the work is proceeding satisfactorily. Bepaws and Maintenance. —This work has been attended to as usual. Cambridge—Botorua Boad. —This road has been maintained in a fair state for traffic, except at one or two places in the bush. W'aipa-Raglan Boad. —Some repairs to bridges and culverts have been executed on this road, and others are still in progress. Great North Boad. —An improvement on this road has been effected about 7 miles from Whangarei, the work extending over about 3 miles, and consisting of 17 chains of new road, and widening and metalling other portions. Te Aroha Block: Drainage. —Contract No. 5, including 4 miles 29 chains of main drain and 40 chains of cross-drains, was completed on the 13th February, 1885. Contract No. 6 includes a drain from Johnson's Creek to the road, 52J chains long, and opening and clearing out the creek; the work was completed on the 29th September, 1884. Roads North of Auckland. The Assistant Surveyor-General, Auckland, reports as follows, viz., The only works done up to the end of March, 1885, when the Public Works Department took charge, were the Port Albert Wharf in Rodney and four miles of main road near Whangarei, mentioned in last year's report as being in progress. BAY OF PLENTY. Tauranga-East Gape Boad. —In sections, viz. : — Maketu-Waihi. —1 mile 66 chains of this section has been surveyed and laid off for construction. Maketu-Matata and Otamarakau-Matata (10 miles). —No work has been done on these sections during the year, and the road is in a bad state for traffic of any kind. Whakatane-Opotiki. —Section 1, 3 miles : The maintenance of this was let to a Native contractor, but the work has not been satisfactorily carried out, the road not being in good order for wheeled traffic. Section 2, 3 miles :Of this, 2 miles 60 chains have been formed during the year 18ft. wide, comprising side-cut tings, bush-felling, one 20ft. bridge, and twelve 12in. culverts. This piece of road is in fair order for traffic. Whakatane-Ohope (4 miles). —This has been maintained in good order for horse-traffic by Native contractors. Opape-Torere (7 miles). —This has been kept in good order for horse-traffic by Native contractors. Hawai-Maraemti (5-jr miles) .—The formation of this length is under contract by the Natives, but as yet very little work has been done. Maraenui-Omaio (5f miles). —This section has been re-formed throughout, new bridges erected, and the whole put in good order for horse-traffic : The maintenance of it has been let to a Native contractor. Te Kaha-Baukokore (20 miles). —This section has been maintained in good order for horsetraffic by Native contractors. Botorua-Te Puke Boad. —One bridge of 20ft. span has been erected over the Te Ngae Creek, and the road is in good order for wheeled traffic.

Opotiki—Waiotahi Boad. —Section 1, 3 miles, section 2, 3 miles, and section 3, 3 miles are all under course of formation.
D.—l
48
Opotiki-Ormond Boacl (60 miles). —Section 6, 5 miles, section 7, 4 miles 52-| chains, and section 8, 19 miles, are being improved and widened, and the bush felled wider where necessary. Four maintenance-men have been employed during the year, and the road is in good order or horse-traffic. Removal of Hocks, Whakatane Biver. —This work is now nearly completed. The contractor has been much delayed by unfavourable weather. Tauranga-Taupo Boad. —There was a cessation in the maintenance of this road for a time, but it is now being well looked after, and is in fair order for traffic. Atiamuri-Taupo, and Taupo—Napier. —The same remarks will apply to this as to the Tauranga-Taupo Boad. MANAWATU DISTRICT. Manawatu Gorge Boad. —This has been maintained as usual during the year, several bridgeshave been repaired, and several unusually heavy slips have been removed. As a rule not more than two men are employed, but in case of slips a. few extra hands are employed for a time. NELSON DISTRICT. Pelorus Valley Boad. —All that has to be done before this road is formed for dray-traffic right through from Blenheim to Nelson is the completion of the Pelorus Valley bridge and a small section near the Eai Saddle. The former will take several months, but the latter should be .finished in three or four weeks. Tracks in Pelorus and Queen Charlotte's Sound. —Surveys have been made of tracks at ToreaPortage, and between Waitaria and Manaroa, and contracts for them are in preparation. The tracks are graded so as to be afterwards convertible into dray-roads. Clarence Bridge. —This work has progressed slowly owing to the difficulty of sinking thecylinders through the large boulders and cemented shingle that form the bed of the river. The difficulties are now, however, passed, all the cylinders being sunk. The ironwork, which is provided by the Government, and about a third of the timber, which the contractor provides, are on the site of the bridge. Clarence-Raikoura Boad. —A survey is in progress of the section between the Clarence and Hapuka. Takaka Bridge. —A contract has just been entered into for the construction of a bridge over the Takaka on the main road. The bridge has two spans of 80ft. and three of 40ft. One of the piers is of concrete, another is composed of iron cylinders, the remainder being of timber. Loioer Moutere Boad. —The contracts in progress at the end of last year have been completed, and some river-protection works carried out. Tophouse and Tarndale Boad. —A few improvements have been made between Eoxhill and Tophouse, and in the Wairau Gorge. Nelson-Lyell Boad. —No work of importance has been done on this road by the Governmentduring the year. The expenditure has been on small improvements of gradients and drainage at at odd places. WESTLAND DISTBICT. Lyell Boad to Westport and Southiuard to Okarito. —Beyond additional works at the Inangahua. Bridge, and repairs to some small bridges between Westport and the Inangahua, there has neen no work done by the department on this road during the past year. Lyell-Mokihinui Track. —A reconnaissance survey of this track by a new route has been made. Mohihinui-Karamea Track. —The track from the Mokihinui Township to the Halcyon Eeefs was completed in May, 1884. The length made by the Government is 8-§- miles. A survey is now in hand of the extension to Karamea, and a design has been prepared for a bridge over the Mokihinui. ■ JJrighlon-Sevcnlecn-Mile Beach Boad. —The detailed survey of this road, referred to in last report, was duly completed during the year. Ahaura-Amuri Boad. —Contracts were entered into in January for the construction of 6-|- miles of this road. The works are making satisfactory progress. Water-races. —The only work of this kind now under construction by the Government is the Mikonui Race at Ross. The two sections of the long tunnel that were let in 1883-84 have made fair progress during the past year, 60 chains out of a total of 85 being now driven. The ground through which the tunnel passes is very peculiar to drive in ; although very hard when first opened out it softens on exposure, and will not stand without heavy timbering. On this account the work is very expensive. CHEISTCHUECH-HOKITIKA EOAD. The maintenance of this road during the year has been much the same as usual, no extraordinary damage from flood or otherwise having taken place. A bridge has been erected over the smooth Wainihinihi Creek. It consists of an 80ft. timber truss on stone abutments. The cylinders for the Taipo bridge piers are now in Hokitika, and the timber for the superstructure is on the ground. A contract for the erection has been prepared, and it is intended to call for tenders at once. The bridge is to have six spans of 80ft. and one span of 30ft. CANTEBBUBY DISTRICT. Kaikoura—Waiau Boad. —At the end of last financial year there were about 25 miles of the track between the Waiau and Kaikoura Townships over which it was impossible to take vehicles, and 5 miles more which are mainly river-bed. Of this length about 10 miles were set apart for piecework, and 10 miles have been let in two contracts.
49
D.—l
The piecework sections were opened in October and closed in February, during which time 53,800 cubic yards of cutting were done, at an average of B^-d. for earbh and Is. 2Jd. for rock (labour only). The greatest number of men on the work at any time was 136. Arrangements are now being made to reopen the works for the winter. The contracts were only entered into one in February and the other in March, so there has not yet been time to do much work on them. Waiau Bridge. —A contract for painting this bridge was carried out during the summer months. Bakaia Gorge Flood-Ghannel Bridge. —This work, which was in progress at the end of last year, was satisfactorily completed in November. Upper Waiau Bridge. —A contract is in preparation, and nearly ready, for this bridge. After several surveys, a site in the gorge, near that of the old horse-bridge, has been selected. It is intended to make the bridge of iron. Defence Works, Lyttelton. —The erection of a shed and slip for the torpedo-boat and the mounting of a 641b. gun are nearly finished. OTAGO DISTEICT. Haast Pass Track. —A small road-party was engaged for some months improving and repairing the old portions of this track. They also made 45 chains of new track, and. 125 chains more were done by contract. Seven small sections have also been surveyed for contract. Taieri Boad Bridge. —The ironwork of this bridge having arrived from England, a contract for its erection was entered into in January. The bridge has six spans of 80ft. The abutments are masonry, the piers cast-iron cylinders, and the girders steel. Bridge over the Glutha at Beaumont. —This bridge, which was originally designed by the Department in 1883, was handed over to the county to carry'out. After the piers were built the work reverted to the Government, and tenders are now advertised for the superstrujture. The bridge has three spans of 115 ft. and two spans of 58ft. 6in., the abutments and piers are of masonry, and the superstructure of malleable-iron lattice-girders. The girders are to be manufactured in the colony. Bridge over the Glutha at lioxburgh. —This bridge is in exactly in much the same position as the one at Beaumont. After being designed by the department, the masonry was carried out by the county, and now the structure is to be finished by the Government. The bridge, which is a suspension one, has a span of 270 ft. The towers and archways are of masonry, and the cables wire rope.. The rope has been ordered from England, and a contract is in preparation for the superstructure. Forest Hill Tramway. —The second section, 5 miles, of this tramway, which was in progress at the end of last year, is expected to be finished in about three months. Grown Lands Boads. —The works on the Otatara Bush Boads and the bush land east of Makarewa have been completed during the year.

APPENDIX CT.
ANNUAL EBPOET ON LIGHTHOUSE WOKKS, ETC., BY THE MAEINE ENGINEEE. The Maeine Engineer to the Secbetaky, Marine Department. Sib, — Marine Department, 31st March, 1885. I have the honour to forward, for the information of the Hon. the Minister having charge of the Marine Department, the annual report on works executed for new lighthouses, and for other works during the year, viz. : — Kavpara. —The whole of the works in connection with this lighthouse have been completed, and the light was first exhibited on the Ist December, 1884. The light is of the second order, flashing every ten seconds. French Pass. —All the works have been satisfactorily completed, and the lights were first exhibited on the Ist October, 1884, viz., one light on the mainland, a sixth-order port-light; and a smaller one, a ship's ordinary riding-light, on the beacon. Jackson's Head. —The beacon described in the last annual report was completed on the 19th April, 1884, and remained intact until the middle of March, 1885, when it was destroyed during a severe storm. It is proposed to replace it by another beacon of different and more substantial design. Bemoval of Books, Whakatane River, —It is expected that this contract will be completed towards the end of next month. Light at Eastern Entrance of Hauraki Gulf. —In April, 1884, this locality was inspected with the view of determining the best sight for a lighthouse, and Eed Mercury and Cuvier Islands were carefully examined, with the result that the latter island seemed to offer the best site for the purpose intended; and a report to this effect was forwarded in June. I have, &c, John Blackett, The Secretary, Marine Department. Marine Engineer.

ANNUAL REPORT OF GENERAL MANAGER OF RAILWAYS, FOE YBAB ENDING 31st MABGH, 1885.
D.—l
I
The General Manages, New Zealand Eailways, to the Hon. the Ministee for Public Wobks. Sib,— I have the honour to report on the working railways for the year ending the 31st March, 1885. Kawakawa. —The old line, 2 miles 68 chains, has been taken over, and, with the new line to deep water, 5 miles 11 chains, is worked by the department. The net profits are but small; it will depend upon the output of the coal mine whether any improvement in traffic takes place. Whangarei. —The traffic and revenue have improved; the opening-out of the Kamo and Whauwhau mines is expected to increase the traffic largely. Auckland. —The Morrinsville and Cambridge branches, 29 miles 12 chains, have been opened during the year: this has led to increased traffic and revenue. The proportion of expenses to revenue is 67-78 per cent., against 6953 for the previous year. Of the many defects on this line in accommodation and appliances, which have been referred to in the annual reports since 1881, the larger proportion has been removed. Convenient siding accommodation has been provided in the country, nearly all the country stations between Auckland and Mercer have been rearranged, improved water-services have been provided, large numbers of wagons have been added, bogie carriage-stock and heavier engines have been introduced, new shops and machinery have been erected at Newmarket, better accommodation has been given at Auckland. The execution of these improvements has occupied four years; it has proceeded as rapidly as the funds provided for the purpose admitted. Auckland goods-station requires extension. When the additional area required from the intake is added, the room will then avail for some years conveniently, but by the time there are 500 miles of line connected with Auckland more area will probably be required. Onehunga station requires improvement. As has been pointed out in former reports, as the line and appliances have been improved the working-railway officers have been able to give more satisfaction to the public in dealing with the traffic, and the working of this line is now proceeding smoothly and well; the completion of the Auckland and Onehunga stations, and of the Kaipara line at an early date, will still further improve matters. On the single line, and with the grades between Auckland and Penrose, and with the appliances available, no more than about 3,000 passengers per hour can be moved in one direction. If an extravagant quantity of stock were available, 6,000 persons might be moved in one hour in the same direction, under very special circumstances. But the cost of providing stock would be unjustifiable, as it may only happen perhaps once or twice in the year that large numbers of persons have to be moved. It has occurred with the race traffic, but the race-traffic fares are so low as to be practically unremunerative. The limit to the number of persons which could be carried in one train from Auckland to the racecourse is about 1,000, under very special circumstances. The difference between this line and that between Christchurch and its racecourse is such that three passengers could be carried on the latter to one on the former. It is as well that the public should understand that the grades near Auckland limit the capacity of the line, and that, when the limit of capacity is reached, no activity on the part of the railway staff can accelerate the traffic further. Napier. —The line has been extended to Tahoraite, 11 miles 55 chains. The traffic and revenue have very largely increased. The proportion of expenses to revenue is 57-12 per cent., against 52-26 for the previous year, which is due to heavier renewals, and to the fact that the extensions of the line are more expensive to work. Additional carriages, wagons, stock, and engines have been placed on the line, and some further additions have to be made to meet the increasing business. The damages by the Ngaruroro and marine encroachments have been successfully overcome for the present. Additional siding accommodation long needed at Napier has been provided for. Accommodation at the Spit is much needed to allow the traffic work to be carried on properly. Wellington. —The traffic and revenue have increased largely; the percentage of expenses to revenue has dropped from 78-30 per cent, for the previous year to 72-66. Additional room at the workshops is wanted : additional carriage and wagon-stock has been placed on the line, and improvements are being made in substituting bogie stock for the older stock. Some expressions of opinion are occasionally made regarding the route of the line from Wellington to the Wairarapa. The explanations given in the annual report of 1881-82 should conclusively show that the cheapest and quickest route has been selected. Less severe grades might perhaps have been obtained by following a coastal route, but the line would have been longer, the cost of construction greater, the time occupied in travelling the larger distance would have been longer, and the cost of conveyance would have been higher, than by the present route. When persons regard the objectionable I—D. 1.

features of the short route they do not, as a rule, realize the greater objections which would havebeen entailed by a longer one. This line is susceptible of some improvements, and, as the growth of traffic warrants, they may be gradually effected with advantage. Wanganui-New Plymouth. —These sections have been connected by the opening of 10 miles 3 chains of line between Hawera and Manutahi. The traffic has not increased, but the revenue has improved, and the proportion of expenses to revenue is 81-41 per cent., against 8700 during the previous year. The rolling-stock repairs are becoming heavy, owing to age, and additional work-shop-room is much wanted to deal with them. Greymouth. —Great increase in traffic and revenue has taken place. The expenses are relatively higher than in the previous year, owing to exceptionally heavy maintenance-repairs being done. The stoppage of the Westport traffic, owing to the closing of the coal mines, has led to increased traffic on this line. The output of minerals has reached 116,196 tons for the year. Westport. —The revenue and traffic have but little increased on this line owing to the stoppage of the coal mines. The output of minerals was 66,639 tons. Nelson. —The returns show a fair increase in traffic and revenue. The net revenue has increased. Picton. —The expense of repairs on this line has been high, and the proportion of the expenses to revenue is slightly in advance of the previous year. Hurunui-Bluff. —The proportion of expenses to revenue is 64-13 per cent., as against 66-84 during the previous year. The traffic in the local productions has decreased slightly, except in wool. The following table includes the chief local products, and shows six years' traffic : — Wool. Timber. Grain. Minerals. an^™e . J^ Tons. Tons. Tons. Tons. No. No. 1879-80 ... 35,663 94,037 227,770 220,459 14,159 182,529 1880-81 ... 35,631 104,585 405,233 277,421 13,573 195,855 1881-82 ... 37,917 113,446 353,675 288,424 18,623 219,471 1882-83 ... 43,970 111,444 343,398 308,737 21,421 280,524 1883-84 ... 49,519 89,467 407,623 331,878 20,192 446,426 1884-85 ... 54,809 86,343 389,636 310,093 21,822 437,859 The decline in the timber trade is probably, to a partial extent, due to settlement going on at aslower rate than formerly, as well as to the more extensive use of stone and brick for building. In the merchandise, traffic has increased, as shown in Eeturn No. 5. The total revenue has increased from £669,788 to £701,991. Twenty-four miles 44 chains have been opened during the year, making a total mileage open of 887 miles 65 chains. Various improvements have been made in carriage stock; additional wagons, ■tarpaulins, and other accommodation have been provided, commensurate with the increased mileage and number of stations and sidings. Dunedin and Invercargill Stations have been carried on towards completion as far as is at present necessary. The Engineer in charge of the maintenance reports that lines are now much less liable todamage from floods than formerly. At one point, on the Taieri Plains, the line is still liable to serious interruption of traffic and to expense by damage from flood. It is very desirable to take steps to remove this risk if possible. The locomotive, carriage, and wagon stock has been well maintained, and is in good order. With the low price now ruling for grain, this traffic cannot be expected to keep up to its former level, and it seems probable that the revenue from this source will diminish. General. —The lines have paid £3 os. 3d. per cent, on the cost of construction of the opened lines, or £2 15s. 4d. per cent, on the gross expenditure on railways opened and unopened. The highest rate, £4 16s. per cent., is paid by the Greymouth Section, and the next highest, £4 os. sd. per cent., by the Napier Section. The traffic as a whole has fairly increased. The proportion of expenses to revenue has been 65-99, against 68-24 in the previous year. The passenger traffic has increased. During 1883-84 a change in the system of booking passengers from flag-stations was introduced, to diminish the inconvenience to the public arising from passengers having to book twice on each journey. This alteration makes an apparent diminution in the numbers travelling, while there has actually been an increase. The revenue from ordinary passengers has increased by £27,000, and that from season tickets by £1,647. The increased number of annual season tickets issued tends also to make the number of ordinary passengers appear less. The traffic in local productions of the colony during the past six years is as follows: — Wool. Timber. Grain. Minerals. JJ^V s Tons. Tons. Tons. Tons. No. No. 1879-80 ... 41,895 149,428 240,144 321,060 30,393 260,816 1880-81 ... 42,387 169,695 421,142 406,266 27,230 280,683 1881-82 ... 44,681 192,905 375,725 433,659 32,511 319,837 1882-83 ... 51,703 197,231 367,428 510,088 37,455 449,470 1883-84 ... 62,066 183,449 432,223 574,312 39,230 656,612 1884-85 ... 68,523 178,909 414,590 618,512 43,096 696,790

The tables attached contain minute and varied information on points connected with the traffic revenue and expenses. It is to be regretted that prior to the reorganization effected during 1880-81 reliable and complete information was not compiled. Careful investigation of the records, 1879-80, enabled some particulars of that year's work to be fully stated, but it was not found possible to carry investigations further back. We are now, however, enabled to review six years' working. The results will doubtless be held to be favourable, while it should be at the same time remembered that the rates and fares as a whole have been materially lowered during the period under review, and accommodation and conveniences have been much improved and extended. At the same time the expenses of renewals have greatly increased, owing to the age of the lines. On the whole, the railways have greatly advanced in every way during the period referred to : the carriage and wagon stock has been largely added to and improved, station accommodation has been increased, the organization for working has been much improved, a complete system of traffic and statistical accounts has been perfected, the accounting system condensed and simplified, and the staff classified, and in every way the public is much better served than it was ; while at the same time the cost of working has been very materially reduced, and the net revenue earned is larger. Eeturn No. 5 exhibits the traffic and the revenue derived therefrom in detail, compared with th.9 previous year's figures. The cheap excursions, which have during the past year been run on a scale not previously attempted, have been attended with success, some 46,536 passengers have been carried, giving a gross revenue of £6,111 14s. 9d. The fares applying to these excursions have been especially framed to accommodate those classes of occasional travellers whose occupation and means do not admit of more extended journies, involving hotel expenses, but who are glad to avail themselves of a day's pleasure-trip to places of attraction during the summer months. Particulars of the changes in the scale of fares and rates made during the year are shown in Eeturn No. 34. While regarding this subject it may be remarked that, out of a total expenditure of some £690,000, not less than £600,000 is paid either in direct pay and wages, or for locallyproduced stores whose cost depends on wages. The wages paid for unskilled labour in Great Britain are, less than half the colonial rates ; they are also much lower in the United States. Other things being equal, it must not therefore be expected that rates and fares can be placed so low as in the countries named, unless a very much lower percentage of net earnings is looked for. There are, however, some limited advantages belonging to the New Zealand system, which do not appertain to some other countries. In the United Kingdom, for instance, the separate control of small groups of railways under different companies entails a comparatively heavy outlay, and compels the introduction of an expensive institution, the clearing-house, which deals with the interchanged traffic between the various companies, and to which they all account for the adjustment of their revenues, and for the interchange of wagon-stock, ropes, and sheets. The negotiations between companies respecting changes in through rates and division thereof, and the vast number of contingent points arising therefrom, also complicate business greatly. We are fortunately almost free from such expenses in New Zealand, and if the district railways are absorbed, as is anticipated, we shall be wholly free from them. The speeds of trains on the New Zealand railways are at least 30 per cent, lower than English speeds, and, in this respect, there is also some economy. It is most important to bear in mind the necessity for moderation in providing for stations and private sidings on the railways, seeing that an undue amount of accommodation in this respect tends to make the cost of working excessive, without increasing the revenue to a corresponding extent. Following are the particulars of the numbers in 1880-81 and in 1884-85 : — Miles of Line. Stations. Private Sidings. 1880 ... ... 1,277 ... 467 ... 174 1885 1,528 ... 597 ... 251 The Minister has issued a by-law, reminding owners of private property adjacent to the railways that demands for private accommodation can only be allowed to a limited extent. It sometimes occurs that the department incurs some odium from the public through the necessity for declining certain applications. The department has three very important points to consider in dealing with this subject: the public safety, the public convenience, and remunerative working ; and, were these points more fully appreciated by the public, the pressure put on the department to accommodate individual interests would be less than it sometimes is, and the public interest would be better served. The annual reports for 1881-82 and 1882-83 have fully dealt with this subject, the importance of which is apt to be overlooked. The number of accidents during the year is less than for the previous year. The fatal accidents, unhappily nineteen in number, are three in excess of the former year. An attempt has been made, by gazetting a by-law, to induce the public to use greater caution at level-crossings. The danger to life and property arising from the carelessness of drivers of vehicles is not confined to persons crossing the line. Trains are greatly endangered by collisions, and very serious loss of life is liable to occur therefrom to travellers by rail. Bridges would certainly obviate the danger; but an enormous outlay would be involved in providing them, and in very many cases, in towns, the adoption of bridges is impracticable. Crossing-keepers are a great expense. The cost of a crossingkeeper and accommodation may be taken at £70 a year, or £1,500 capitalized at 4-| per cent.; and it is undesirable to increase expenses of this kind if avoidable. As the railways are public property it is but reasonable that caution on the part of the users of level-crossings should be stringently enforced. No public street should ever be permitted to cross station sidings. The lines and stock have been maintained in good and efficient order. The following table shows the cost of wages and stores approximately, separately stated, and an estimate for the year 1885-86 : —

The increase of expenses should be considered in connection with the growth of traffic, as shown in the following statement, as well as in connection with the increased mileage and the increased age of the lines.
Eeturn No. 20 furnishes a clue to the demands for sleepers in the future. The renewals must annually increase in numbers for some years ; and we may, perhaps, find that the number required during the next year will reach 200,000. About 60 miles of rails were relaid. It is unlikely that this quantity will be much exceeded during the next year. The expenditure on fencing, which was £14,649 during 1883-84, was £12,940 during 1884-85. It is likely that this item will increase, as the fencing is getting old on many of the linos ; and the length is being increased. The assumption of the entire cost; of maintenance of fences by the Eailway Department in 1882 has added to the expenses. The average cost of maintenance per mile, which was £167 11s. 6d. in 1883-84, was £172 3s. lOd. in 1884-85. The extension of the holidays, on which pay is given to all employes, has added to the expenses of the year. From such information up to date as can be obtained, comparative Returns Nos. 32 and 33 have been compiled. The former of these will be found to be similar to one in the Queensland reports. When the expense under which the New Zealand management labours, in having to work a number of detached sections, is taken into account, and when the much larger receipts per ton of goods which the other colonies are able to levy are regarded, the New Zealand results may be considered very favourable. In respect to the suburban traffic in Victoria and New South Wales, a great advantage operates to give favourable results, the population of Melbourne and Sydney being from six to seven times larger than those of any New Zealand city. The net earnings in pence per train-mile, are as follow :— Queensland ... ... 42-28 South Australia ... 26-61 New South Wales ... 30-46 New Zealand ■ ... 29-55 Victoria ... ... 26-29 Cape Colony ... 28-40 The exceptionally high average receipts per ton which appear to be obtained in Queensland, as shown in Eeturn No. 33, will go far to account for the high net earnings per train-mile. Much was said about high rates in New Zealand : it is important, however, to notice that Eeturn No. 33 shows the average receipts per ton lower in New Zealand than in any colony, except South Australia, for the years respectively indicated. In the report for the year 1882 attention was directed to the necessity for the traffic audit being dealt with wholly within the department, the separation of this class of audit from the management being a great source of weakness. The operations of the internal audit under the control of the management have been since then much extended with good results. Much greater efficiency in organization and working has been attained, and the public better served. The practice of forwarding press copies of waybills to the Controller and Auditor-C cneral has been stopped, and much superfluous work thereby abolished. The staff has worked efficiently during the year. The very great labour expended by the officers of the department in providing complete codes of instructions for each branch of the working establishment is now bearing satisfactory fruits in the improved efficiency shown by the staff, which may now be said to be thoroughly trained to the performance of all routine duties.
