1886. NEW ZEALAND.
PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT, BY THE MINISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS, THE HON. EDWARD RICHARDSON, 25th JUNE, 1886.
Mr. Speakee,— Although I am making the annual Statement of the proceedings of the Public Works Department at a period much earlier in the year than has been the cttstom_ in previous sessions, I have no doubt that a good deal of the interest which is usually felt on such an occasion as the present has been allayed, owing to my colleague the Colonial Treasurer having already given in his Financial Statement an outline of the proposals of the Government regarding public works generally for the year we have just entered upon. It will not, therefore, be necessary for me to extend my remarks to such a length as I did last year. DISTBICT BAIL WAYS. Honourable members may remember that I announced last session that arrangements had been come to for the purchase of all the district railways authorized to be purchased, except the Waimea Plains line, but that we had failed to arrange for that line. During the recess, however, negotiations were again opened with the Waimea Company, and, after a considerable amount of correspondence, an arrangement has been come to for the purchase of the railway, subject of course to the ratification of Parliament. The correspondence on this subject will be laid upon the table in a few days. I also think it right to mention that, when I brought this matter before the Cabinet, three of my colleagues—the Premier, the Colonial Treasurer, and the Minister for Mines—requested that they should in no way be consulted, and the negotiations between the company and the Government have been carried on by the other members of the Cabinet and myself. Should Parliament see fit to ratify the agreement now entered into, a very great source of trouble and expense will be got rid of in the working of the Government railways in that district, and at the same time the public will be better served and the ratepayers greatly relieved. Although steps were taken immediately after the end of last session to complete the purchases, and make payments for the railways then arranged for, it is only quite recently that we have been enabled to complete these purchases, the necessary conveyances having been delayed from a variety of causes, chiefly difficulties as regards titles to land, and, consequently, the lines have had to be worked all through last year under the same arrangements as existed previously. I—D. 1.

As the landowners around these railways have to pay rates to make up any deficiency in the interest on cost, as fixed by statute, separate accounts will have to be kept, and the question of rates and charges will have to be watched with great care, as the ratepayers' interests do not always coincide with the interests of those who use these railways. The charges on all these lines require revision, and the matter is now being carefully considered. BAIL WAYS IN COUESE OF CONSTEUCTION AND PBOPOSED, INCLUDING ADDITIONS TO OPENED EAILWAYS. Whangaeei-Kamo Eailway. A survey has been made of the proposed extension of this railway to deep water, and the probable cost is estimated at about £40,000. As an alternative to this project, inquiries have also been made as to whether the navigation can be in any way improved, and I am informed that a good effect may be produced by removing some of the rock from the channel. If this can be done at a moderate cost, the work will be put in hand, but, till there is money forthcoming to extend this railway to the kauri forest at Puhipuhi, the Government cannot recommend the expenditure necessary to take the coal alongside ocean-going steamers. The railway to Puhipuhi and extension to deep water are estimated together to cost about £100,000. Extension of the Teunk Line Nobthwabds feom Helensville. The Government has not altered its opinion, as given in my Statement last year, with reference to the merits of this line, and therefore again proposes that a vote shall be taken to provide for its extension to the first point which will be found remunerative, a distance of about 9 miles. The line can then be continued northward, section by section, as funds are provided. As was also shown last year there are timbered lands and valleys containing considerable areas of rich agricultural land, well fitted for settlement throughout the proposed route of this railway, and the cost per mile would not be more than the average of our railways already constructed. It is estimated that the cost of extending this line to Omapere, a distance of 110 miles, will be about £715,000. I am also assured that, if found desirable, the railway can be continued northwards to the Victoria Valley, at about the same average cost per mile. The authority which I propose to ask the House for, on account of this railway, will provide for about 12 miles of formation, but, as no working survey has as yet been made, a contract cannot be let for some months to come, and the actual expenditure during this financial year will not therefore exceed about £4,000. Kaipaea-Waikato. Several further improvements in the curves and gradients of this railway have been made during the year, with the view of reducing the cost of working the line between Helensville and Auckland. Plans have been prepared for a considerable deviation in the vicinity of the Kingsland Station, but the cost of the work is too much to permit of its being undertaken at present. Between Mercer and Taupiri we have also cut down the two steep gradients that existed, and we shall thus be able to do all the work on that line with a lighter class of engine than that hitherto used. A new siding has been laid in at the Newmarket Junction, which will be the means of making considerable saving both in the time of running the trains and the cost of working the traffic ; and at the same time we have prepared the ground at Newmarket for additions to the workshops. The new passenger-station at Auckland has been opened and in use for some months, and, although long delayed, Auckland has now a station well suited to its requirements. It has also been found necessary to make large additions to the accommodation at the Euakura Junction in order to work the lines which are so rapidly increasing in length in this district, and still further expenditure will be necessary at this spot.

The inadequacy of this railway to carry the traffic between Auckland and Penrose has long been felt, and the Government now considers that the time has come to lay a second line alongside existing track, or else to construct a relieving-line, either via Eemuera to Penrose, or vid Freeman's Bay to join the Kaipara line. The first of these plans would probably be the cheaper, but, as against that, the grade along that route is considerably steeper than it would be along either of the loop-lines, and the question of route has not as yet been absolutely determined. As it is necessary that the work should be commenced very shortly, however, I have decided to ask the House to authorize a sum of .£23,000 to cover so much of the work as may be undertaken this year, but of this sum not more than about £5,000 will be expended before end of March next. The survey of the branch railway to coal-mine at Huntly has been completed, including plans for a bridge over the Waikato River, ready to call for tenders, but as the promoters have not as yet been able to see their way to accept the terms offered in "The Railways Authorization Act, 1884," nothing further has been done in the matter. Hamilton-G/Rahamstown. Hamilton-Te Arolia. —This line was opened for public traffic on the Ist March last. Grahamstown-Te Arolia. —Considerable progress has been made with the construction of this line during the year. Some difficulties have occurred owing to the Native landowners objecting to the surveys being proceeded with; but the officers of the Native Department have agreed with the Natives, and no further trouble is anticipated. The authority which will be asked for in Estimates provides for completing the two sections of this railway on which work has already been done, namely, the Kaueranga section, 4j miles, and the Hikutaia section, 8J miles. The former of these requires stations and fencing, &c, and the latter requires bridges, platelaying, and stations. MORRINSVILLE TO RoTOEUA RAILWAY. The purchase of this railway was completed on 21st December last, and its construction is being carried on under the agreement sanctioned by the House last year. Morrinsville to Lichfield. —On the portion from Morrinsville to Lichfield the first length from Morrinsville to Oxford was opened on the Bth March last, and the remainder to Lichfield is now practically finished. I found, on examination, that the works on the line had been very satisfactorily carried out, and the rolling-stock imported is all of good quality. Putaruru to Botorua. —On the Putaruru to Rotorua division the first section, some 8 miles, is now ready for contract, and tenders can be advertised for it at any time. A great deal of trouble has been taken to locate this line, but, although the route, throughout, has been definitely determined upon, the detailed surveys of the portion of the Rotorua Bush are not yet completed. The authority proposed to be asked for in this case will provide for the letting of two formation contracts, of about 8 miles in each, amounting in all to £70,000 or £75,000, of which, however, only about £15,000 would be expended during present year. The length from the Rotorua Bush to Rotorua is surveyed and staked out ready for contract, but it is not proposed to put this portion in hand till the remainder of the line is well advanced; and, owing to the recent changes that have taken place in this district, the location of the Rotorua end of the line, and its construction, will be very carefully considered before any works are undertaken. Main Trunk Railway, North Island. As my colleague, the Colonial Treasurer, has already stated, there is now every prospect of the Government becoming possessed of large tracts of land along the route of this railway, and we consider that the work ought to be
D.—l

pushed on vigorously, and propose asking the authority of the House to expend, or to enter into contracts for, a much larger amount this year, than during last year. The works which were in hand during last year on this railway are as follows: — At the Northern End. —Commencing from Te Awamutu, the Puniu Contract (length about 15 miles), including permanent-way, has been steadily progressing, and is expected to be completed ready for traffic about October next. The Te Kuiti section, length about 11 miles, which was also to include permanent-way, was advertised for tender in August last, but had to be withdrawn in consequence of a reduction made in the Estimates last session. Beyond the end of this section there is the Waiteti section, length about 9 miles, of which working plans are complete and ready for contract. The Puro-o-tarao section, length (including tunnel) about 1J miles, which is distant about 48 miles from Te Awamutu, was let by contract in August last, to be completed in August, 1887. To the southward of the tunnel the working survey is completed for a length of 4£ miles. Contracts have also been let for G6,000 sleepers, and 18,000 more have been taken over from Working Railways Department. In addition to these works a large amount of work has also been done in the shape of approach-roads to get access to the railway; and also a large amount of exploration and preliminary surveys, to get the best line throughout the portions of railway which have not as yet been undertaken. For further details concerning these latter items I would refer honourable members to the report of the Engineer-in-Chief, which will be attached to this Statement. I would also wish to take this opportunity of stating distinctly that, in cases where contracts have been let to Natives, they have done a great deal of work very satisfactorily and at moderate prices; and, whenever they have demanded excessive prices, the contracts have been advertised and let by public tender. At the Southern End of the line the requisite railway-station at Marton Junction has been completed, including such buildings as will be necessary for probable present traffic. The Porewa Contract, length about 12 miles, including platelaying, commencing from Marton Junction, was let in April, 1885, but has had to be taken out of the hands of the original contractor and relet to another contractor. It is now going on satisfactorily, and will probably be completed about November next. The re-letting of the work involved no loss to the colony, except in the matter of delaying completion. Commencing at the end of the Porewa Contract is the Hunterville section, length about 6 miles, which was advertised for tender some time back, but had to be withdrawn on account of the limited funds provided; and beyond the end of this section the working surveys and plans have been completed for a further length of about 5 miles. At this end of the line also a considerable amount of work has been done in the construction of approach-roads and further survey-works, which will be found detailed in report of the Engineer-in-Chief. The work required for improving the navigation of the Wanganui River was commenced in August last, and an available depth of about 2ft. of water has already been obtained as far as Kaiwaka, forty-six miles above Wanganui, and between Kaiwaka and Pipiriki similar work is in progress. At Pipiriki a branch road will leave the river to go into the interior. Both Ends. —The works and surveys at both ends of this railway were much delayed last year in consequence of reductions made in the votes, and, although every effort was made to stop all the works which could be stopped, in sufficient time to keep the expenditure and liabilities within the vote, it was found impossible to altogether attain this in consequence of the difficulty of communication, and there has consequently been an excess of about ,£13,000.

The authority which I now propose to ask for, on account of this railway, will provide for completing all the work at present in hand, and also for additional works as follows. The Te Kuiti section, 11 miles, and the Waitete section, 9 miles, at north end, and the Hunterville section, 5 miles, at south end; and also further improvements in the navigation of the Wanganui Eiver, and the construction of further approach-roads to give access to the rail way-works. Line connecting New Plymouth with Main Trunk Line. During the recess, although no further actual surveys have been made, still a good deal of exploration has taken place both by officers of the Lands Department and that of the Public Works, and we now have every reason to believe that a fairly good line can be got, starting from a point on the main line about 60 miles south of Te Awamutu, following the course of the Ohura, the Eao, and the Tangarakau Rivers, thence south-westerly across the range to one of the branches of the Mimi Eiver, and along that river towards the coast, and southward to Waitara. This line would traverse a large tract of first-class arable land in the valley of the Ohura, and intersect the upper portion of the extensive coalfield now well defined, and will make that coal available for use all over that portion of the Island from the Waikato to where the navigation of the Wanganui and Eao ceases. We have sufficiently reliable surveys and information to be able to say that the line will not be exceptionally expensive, that the length of the connecting link between Waitara and the main line would be about 75 miles, the cost will not exceed about £8,000 per mile all through, and the greater portion of the very heavy country on the line reported upon from Stratford two years ago will be avoided. Whenever the House so directs a detailed survey of this line can be put in hand. Reconnaissance Survey of Country between Napier and Opotiki via Gisborne. During the last recess I instructed the Engineer-in-Chief to send the Inspecting Engineer (Mr. Knorpp) to visit the district between Napier and Opotiki, traversing the country through Wairoa, Gisborne, and from thence to the East Cape, as well as from Gisborne to Opotiki. He has made a reconnaissance survey of the country, with a view of ascertaining how it can best be opened up by railways or roads. His report contains a great deal of useful information, and shows that the district lying to the north and east of Gisborne can be best served by railway communication, while that between Gisborne and Napier is so broken that a railway would almost be impracticable, and could therefore only be opened up by roads. This report (with maps) will be printed and laid on the table of the House within a few days. Napier- Wood ville . The contractors for the extension from Tahoraite towards Woodville are making very fair progress with the work. A contract will shortly be let for completing the line to Woodville, including the railway-station there, to be finished and opened for traffic in about twelve months. Woodville-Palmerston. A contract is now ready to be let for the construction of this line through the Gorge. This section will take about two years to complete, owing to the heavy nature of the works, and while in progress the plans will be prepared for the completion on to Palmerston. Wellington-Masterton. Very considerable additions have been made to the station-accommodation, to the rolling-stock, and to the workshops on this line during the year, and much more will be required to keep pace with the increasing traffic.

MaSTERTON-WoODVILLE. Honourable members are aware that the extension of this line has been very recently opened as far as Mauriceville. A further section of about four miles will be opened in October next. It is proposed to let a contract to extend this line as far as Eketahuna, so soon as Parliament has sanctioned the expenditure. The large amount of settlement taking place along the route of this line between Mauriceville and Pahiatua points to the desirableness of continuing the construction of this line, and, if funds are provided, this will be done. Foxton-New Plymouth. The branch line from New Plymouth to the breakwater has recently been opened, and, with some slight modifications in the rates, is sure to prove of great benefit to the district. PICTON-AwATEBE EAILWAY. An addition of 100 ft. in length has been made to the Picton Wharf. The formation of railway is completed, except bridges, for 4j miles to the southward of Blenheim, and a further length of 3^ miles is in progress. Although the contractor was urged some considerable time since to expedite the work it is still going on very slowly, and it is calculated that it will take at least twelve months more to finish it. The amount which I propose to ask the House for this year will provide for a further formation contract of about 3 miles, and also for the bridges required in the first 3 miles from Blenheim. East and West Coast and Nelson (Midland) Eailway. The subject of the construction of this railway has been so fully discussed in this House that it is unnecessary for me to make much reference to it to-night. My opinion as to the desirableness of its construction is well known; and ever since the Public Works scheme brought forward by my honourable colleague Sir Julius Vogel in 1870, I have taken every opportunity that has offered itself to promote railway connection between the East and West Coast of the Middle Island. It was suggested to me immediately after last session that fuller and more reliable information as to the resources and nature of the country should be procured, in the event of anything occurring to cause the contract, now happily settled, to fall through. I therefore instructed Mr. Blair, the Assistant Engineer-in-Chief, to visit the district and report more fully than had previously been done, and to collect such information as would probably be required by Parliament in case the Government had to ask for a vote for the construction of this line. The report will be very useful, and the maps attached to it will also, I am sure, be very interesting to honourable members, and of the greatest service for future reference. The first of these maps shows the present settlement of the country, the second the description of the land, the third the description and area of the forests, and the fourth the localities of the several descriptions of minerals as far as at present known throughout the district. On all of these maps the railways constructed, in course of construction, and the lines now under contract, as well as those lines which the Government considers will be required in the northern part of the Middle Island, are clearly marked. This report, with maps, will be printed and laid on the table of the House in a day or two. I am now justified in expressing the hope that, before the House meets next year, the works on this great railway will be fairly started. In connection with the railway it is proposed to construct branches from the Inangahua Junction to Westport, and from Tophouse to Blenheim ; but as neither of these lines have as yet been surveyed for contract it would not be possible to do any work upon them within the present financial year, and I therefore only
D.—l

propose to ask for sufficient authority to enable the necessary surveys to be made during this year. Hokitika-Geeymouth Eailway. A short length of this line was completed at the Hokitika end some months since, but has not yet been used for traffic. Some delay took place in calling for tenders for the Arahura Bridge, owing to the necessity of preparing new designs, and as soon as the appropriations are passed this contract will be put in hand. The continuation of this line has been also put in hand by employing a large number of men who were out of work in Christchurch. It was considered better to put them on this directly-serviceable work than to find non-remunera-tive work near Christchurch. The question of route of this railway between the Arahura and Teremakau has been again raised, and it has been suggested that the line should go through Kumara instead of along the beach. The question is one upon which the Government has not sufficient information to deal with it at once, so it has been decided that a survey should be made of the proposed deviation before proceeding with the works along the portion of direct route which would be affected. The works at the Hokitika and Greymouth ends of the line will, however, in the meantime be proceeded with. Otago Centeal Eailway. During the year two contracts have been finished, making the line complete up to the Wingatui Viaduct, about seven miles and. three quarters from the junction with the main line. There has been a short delay with the construction of the masonry piers and abutments of the viaduct, owing to the necessity which has been proved to exist to go very much deeper with the foundations for two of the piers. This delay, however, will not retard the completion of the superstructure. The whole of the materials for this work are now in the colony, and will soon be ready to be taken to the site, when the process of erection will be rapidly pushed on. The " Mullocky " formation contract was completed on the 3rd February, 1886, but the contractors for the other four sections are all considerably behind time, and are being urged to make better progress. Contracts are now being let in short lengths to complete that portion of this line known as the Hindon section, which was commenced several years since, and on which much money was spent in relief works. It is hoped that these works will very sensibly relieve the pressure on the Government for employment in and around the City of Dunedin. Contracts are also being prepared for the erection of the several bridges which are required between Wingatui and the end of the Nenthorn section, all of which it is proposed to put in hand during the year; and the Engineer-in-Chief has instructions to push forward all these works as rapidly as is consistent with economy. But, as I have before pointed out, the non-completion of the Wingatui Viaduct retards all the other works beyond it. The expenditure on this line up to the 31st March, 1886, was .£267,218, and there were liabilities then existing of ,£51,200. It is estimated that to complete this railway to Sutton, a distance of thirty-three miles, will require a further sum of £128,350, and that to take the line on to the Taieri Lake, thirty-four miles further, will cost ,£180,000; or a total cost for the sixty-seven miles of ,£626,768. After reaching the Sutton the country becomes comparatively easy, so that the average cost per mile beyond that point may be expected to be very much less than it has been throughout the portion hitherto undertaken. The authority which I now propose to ask for on account of this railway will provide for the completion of the formation and bridges up to the Sutton, including platelaying for a further length of 5 miles, beyond the end of the 8 miles already laid, and also for a new formation contract between the Sutton and Middlemarsh, length 7 miles.

Hurunui-Bluff and Branches, The extension of this railway for 11 miles northward to Culverden was opened for traffic in December last, which was, unfortunately, too late to insure the carriage of all the wool this season. There has, however, been a good deal of passenger-traffic, and I have no doubt that this section will be much used by visitors and invalids during next summer. A road-bridge of considerable magnitude is in course of erection over the Waiau, and when complete will give a safe road to the Hanmer Plains Hot Springs. Further additions have been made to the Dunedin Station and a large increase in the rolling-stock. Lincoln-Little Biver. —This line was completed to Little Eiver and opened for traffic in March last. Ashburton Branch. —The formation of this line was completed up to Mount Somers, including bridge over Ashburton River, in March last, and a further contract has been let for platelaying between the bridge and Mount Somers; length, about 1 mile. The amount which will be asked for in the Estimates provides for a further extension of 4 miles to Springburn. Livingstone Branch. —On this railway, which is 12 miles in length, the first 4 miles is now practically completed, including platelaying, and the amount to be asked for in the Estimates provides for completion of the remaining 8 miles, including platelaying. Catlin's Biver Branch. —The first division of this railway, length 8 miles, was completed and opened for traffic in December last, and the authority which I now propose to ask for will provide for the formation of a further length of 5 miles. Toitois Branch. —As described in my Statement last year, the formation of this railway is already completed to a point about 4 miles beyond Wyndham, and the authority I now propose to ask for will provide for the formation of a further length of 2 miles, including a short tunnel. Waimea-Stvitzer's Branch. —As mentioned in my Statement last year the formation of the first 7 miles of this railway was then completed, and the amounts which I now propose to ask for will cover cost of building bridge on that length, and also a further length of about 7 miles. Seaward Bush Branch. —This railway is practically completed for a distance of 5 J miles, including platelaying, and the authority which I will ask for this year will provide for the formation of a further length of 5 miles. Invercargill-Kingston and Branches. Mararoa Branch. —The first section of this railway, 6J miles in length, was completed and opened for traffic in March last, and the authority which I now propose to ask for will complete the line, including platelaying, to Mossburn, being a further length of about 4 miles, which is already under contract. ADDITIONS TO OPENED RAILWAYS GENERALLY. Work of this character (exclusive of permanent-way and rolling-stock) to the extent of about £91,000 was executed during last year, and we propose to expend .£93,000 for similar work during the present year, to include liabilities already incurred. The principal items leading up to this amount are in round numbers as follows: Auckland Section, £20,000; Napier-Woodville, £7,000; WellingtonWoodville, £7,000; Foxton-New Plymouth, £5,000; and Hurunui-Bluff and branches, and Invercargill-Kingston and branches, £50,000. MANUFACTURE OF PORTLAND CEMENT. It will be interesting to honourable members to know that the manufacture of Portland cement in New Zealand has been commenced on a substantial scale, and considerable quantities are now being delivered to the Government for their various works, at a cost not exceeding that of imported cement, and at the same time being reported upon by the Engineer-in-Chief as of good quality and being capable of standing a very fair test. I take this opportunity of drawing the attention of the various local bodies throughout the country to this matter, in the hope
9
D.—l
that they may be able to help this industry, and so obviate the necessity of importing so much from England. WOBKING BAIL WAYS. I now come to the subject of working railways. Honourable members will remember that on the 31st March, 1885, there were 1,477 miles of railway open for traffic, having cost the colony £11,810,194; and on the 31st March, 1886, there were 1,613 miles of railway open for traffic, having cost the colony .£12,472,814. In this latter result is included 77 miles of railway purchased by the Government from various district railway companies at a cost of £283,349. The total revenue from all sources was £1,047,418, and the expenditure amounted to £690,340, leaving a net profit of £357,078. Taking the cost of the opened railways at the average for the whole year, in view of the dates at which the several sections of new railways were opened for traffic (namely, £12,243,295), this represents a profit of £2 18s. 6d. per cent, on the cost as thus deduced, or, if the total cost of all the lines opened at the end of the year be taken as prevailing throughout the whole year, which is scarcely a fair way of looking at it, then the percentage earned would be £2 17s. 3d. The total expenditure on railways opened and unopened up to the 31st March, 1886, including expenditure by Government on Greymouth and Westport harbour works, has been £13,726,166, and the profit earned by the opened lines gives £2 12s. Od. per cent, on this gross outlay. Last year, with 1,477 miles of open railways, we had a revenue of £1,045,712 and an expenditure of £690,026; this year, with 1,613 miles open, we have a revenue of £1,047,418 and an expenditure of £690,340 ; and at the end of the year we have outstanding accounts amounting to considerably less than at the end of the previous year. We have also during the year made many reductions in the rates of carriage of goods, all in the direction of helping local productions, which, had our rates remained unaltered, would have produced fully £50,000 more revenue without increasing the cost of working. This amount represents the benefit derived by the general public using the railways. It will therefore be seen that, although we have had to provide for the maintenance of and work 136 miles more railway, we have so curtailed the expenditure that it has only amounted to £314 in excess of that of last year. It should also be remembered that the railways do not get credit for the large amount of work done for the other departments of the Government, the carriage of mails representing a very large sum. The facilities given to the Education Department also are very great; and if full credit were given for all these services it would make a very perceptible addition to the railway revenue. On the whole, the proportion of expenditure to revenue has been slightly reduced during the year, having been 65*91 against 65*99 the previous year. I think honourable members, when they realize these facts, will admit that the result is a favourable one. The rates of profit have, as in previous years, varied very much on the different lines, having amounted on the Greymouth section to £5 9s. 3d. percent., on the Napier section to £4 18s. 9d., on the Hurunui-Bluff section to £3 ss. 9d., on the Wellington-Masterton section to £2 11s. 2d., on the Auckland section to £2 9s. Id., and. on the Wanganui section to £0 12s. lOd. It has been my constant endeavour to resist as far as possible the continued demand for fresh stations on the several lines, each new one being a source of additional expenditure, and have only granted them in cases where there appeared a reasonable prospect of increasing the traffic. The total number of passengers carried on the railways was — For the year 1883-84 .... .... .... 3,272,644 For the year 1884-85 .... .... .... 3,232,886 For the year 1885-86 .... .... .... 3,362,266 —showing an increase over last year of 129,380. 2—D. 1.

Now, a few words on the subject of the workshops. Much has been said during the past year as to the way in which they have been conducted. As far as I am able to judge, after again going very closely into the expenditure in three workshops, I can repeat the opinion I then expressed to the effect that the colony is getting very fair value for the money expended in them. The largely-increasing mileage now being worked is bringing with it larger repairs and, consequently, the necessity for further accommodation; and it must also be remembered that many of the locomotives have been running for a longtime, and therefore are requiring heavier repairs. Provision is being made for all this, and the shops at Petone and Hillside are now being largely increased, with a view of our being able to keep up the stock in a state of first-class efficiency. In Auckland, also, additions are being made, and both there and at Hillside much greater additions will very soon be forced upon the Government; also at Wanganui to a smaller extent. Already additional machinery has been ordered for these shops, and provision to meet the necessary expenditure has accordingly been made by the Government. No additions are likely to be required at Addington, except an enlargment of the erecting-shed, which now hardly accommodates the engines working on the lines running through the Hurunui-Waitaki district, which are constantly coming in for large repairs. Nearly everything in the shape of rolling-stock is now being made in the colony, the orders sent to Great Britain being confined in most cases to the raw materials and some few articles which cannot at present be manufactured in the colony. By carefully arranging the work put in hand at the various shops we have been able to bring about much economy in many directions, and we have endeavoured to bring into useful operation the valuable machinery which had been provided by previous Governments. In the item of tarpaulins alone a saving of fully £3,000 per annum has been effected during the year by improved arrangements and the use of improved appliances. Fair progress is being made by the contractors who undertook the manufacture of the ten locomotives last year, and, judging from the work they are doing, the engines ought to prove to be of a very serviceable nature. The contractors imported some portions of the material required for these engines partially worked up, but sooner than altogether condemn these articles a valuation was made, and a reduction has been agreed upon equal to the amount of work so executed in England outside the terms of the contract. Honourable members will see, on reference to the tables which will be attached to this Statement, that the amount of work which has been done during last year in the workshops throughout the colony has been very extensive both as to repairs and renewals. On the Foxton-New Plymouth line very heavy expenditure has occurred by way of repairs to the bridges, and a still larger expenditure will probably be required during the current year. This has been caused by the mistake made in using rimu timber Avhen constructing the line, and it is only fair to the Engineer-
D.—l
11
in-Chief to state that the use of this timber was insisted upon against his strong protest, and it is now found that it would have been much better to have adopted his recommendation and used more lasting timber: these bridges ought not to have required much repairs for the next ten years instead of having to be rebuilt at this early stage in the life of the railway. In connection with the railways generally, I doubt if many honourable members realize the effect produced on their revenue by the works of the Harbour Boards of Otago, Oamaru, and Timaru. As these works progress, so the railway revenue suffers, and to such an extent have the works of the Otago Harbour Board—by which most classes of vessels can now get up the harbour to Dunedin—affected the revenue, that it is estimated that the railway suffers this year a loss of fully £8,000 ; and, from the information in the possession of the Government, it is not likely that by the end of this year there will be any goods traffic from Port Chalmers except that brought there by the large direct steamships. And lam advised by those interested that, if the Government did reduce the rates by one-half those now prevailing, the bulk of the goods would still go direct to Dunedin. Such a reduction would, therefore, only have the effect of throwing away a great deal of the revenue left to the railway which otherwise must remain, at all events for some considerable time to come. No doubt the residents in the parts of the colony in which these great works have been carried out are reaping great benefit from them, but it must be borne in mind that the railways constructed by the Government are suffering in proportion as the harbour works succeed. Since supplying my honourable colleague the Colonial Treasurer with the estimate of the revenue and expenditure on the railways for the current year, the severe floods we have had will affect the expenditure in the way of repairs; and, should any considerable number of our population be attracted to the newlydiscovered goldfields in Western Australia, the traffic may be sensibly reduced. It is very certain we are now losing the carriage of a large amount of farmproduce, which has been destroyed by the exceptionally-heavy autumn rains; but, on the other hand, we have calculated on a much larger acreage of grain being put in this year than last, and consequently expect a larger revenue therefrom. We have also calculated upon considerable additions to our receipts from the extensions of the railways, which we hope to have under construction in a few weeks. It is too early in the year to make any safe calculation, and there is no reason to suppose there will be any serious falling-off in the revenue : should there be, there will certainly be a reduction in the expenditure. It has been the custom for some years to publish the very elaborate statistical information with the annual Public Works Statement in connection with opened railways, and the same course will be adopted on the present occasion; but it is a matter for serious consideration whether it is worth while to publish these tables. Much discussion has taken place on the subject of the system of charges now in force, and a Committee of this House is now taking evidence on a proposal for a radical change. I shall not therefore venture an opinion on the particular proposal which that Committee has under consideration, but remind the House that the system we now have in use is similar to that adopted^in the adjoining colonies, as also in the railways in other countries ; and before making any change, the probability of its success should be clearly demonstrated. The want that is felt is more in the direction of some authority to whom any member of the public can make their grievances known, and feel that they get fair consideration. I have hesitated to reintroduce the Bill I laid before the House last year, as I feel certain that it would not meet with general support; and, although two other Bills have been sketched out to meet the case, I cannot see any practical good that would come from them so long as this Parliament is not prepared to part with a great deal more of its control than it has done hitherto. The exigencies of the country are so diversified that to work our railways to the best advantage some parts of the country require very different rates to those in other parts; but so jealous are those who use our railways in the several provincial districts of any changes made in the charges with a view of securing
D.—l
12
traffic, that one always has to hesitate in making such changes; and if a body, or several of them, were appointed in the country, such as that suggested above, I am of opinion that it would be found that it would take a considerable time for them to become acquainted with the necessary information to enable them to deal practically with the subject, and that nothing but a permanent Board, whose members would give their whole time to the subject, would meet the case. EOADS NOETH OP AUCKLAND. With reference to the sum of £70,000 allocated to the counties north of Auckland in 1884 for these roads, the following table shows the allocations made to each county, and also the payments thereon up to the 31st March last:—
The total expenditure for last year on these roads was .£33,763, and the difference between this sum and the amount £31,303 referred to above represents amounts which Government has had to expend in respect of liabilities incurred before the allocation of the £70,000 was made. EOADS AND BEIDGES GENEEALLY, INCLUDING MAIN EOADS AND MISCELLANEOUS EOADS AND BEIDGES. The amounts authorized for works under this heading (which are exclusive of Eoads north of Auckland, Eoads to open up Crown lands, Eoads on Goldfields, and Eoads under the Eoads and Bridges Construction Act) have gradually decreased for some years, and the amount which I propose to ask the House to authorize for them this year is, in round numbers, £77,000 less than the amount authorized for the year 1883-84. Speaking still in round numbers, the amounts authorized for the last few years have been as follows: 1883-84, £178,000; 1884-85, £154,000; and 1885-86, £119,000; and the amount which I propose to ask the House to authorize this year is £101,000. It will be seen, therefore, that the works of this class which have been undertaken from year to year have been gradually of less and less magnitude, and it will therefore not be necessary for me to dwell to any great extent upon those which were undertaken during last year. A brief summary of those worth mentioning is as follows :— In the North Island.—The roads from Tauranga to the East Cape, and from Cambridge and Tauranga to Taupo, and from Taupo to Napier, and also the Manawatu Gorge Eoad, have been maintained during the year in fair order, and subsidies have been given to the local bodies, as hitherto, towards the maintenance of the Seventy-Mile Bush Eoad. In the South Island. —The Takaka Bridge, in the Collingwood District, has been brought close to completion.

The bridge over the Pelorus Eiver, on the road between Nelson and Blenheim, was completed in August last, and this road has thus been made available for coach traffic. A contract has been let for the Motueka Bridge, on the line of road from Nelson to Westport and Greymouth. Surveys of site for bridge over Buller, near Lyell, on same road, have also been made, and the design, which will require to be of somewhat exceptional character, is under consideration. A contract has been let for a bridge over the left-hand branch of the Inangahua Eiver, near Eeefton, also on same road. The Hokitika to Christchurch road has also been maintained as usual; and the bridge over the Taipo, which has long been a great necessity on this road, has just been finished. The bridge over the Clarence Eiver, between Kaikoura and Blenheim, has been steadily progressing, and it is hoped that it will be finished in November next. The road between Kaikoura and Waiau is also tending towards completion, extensive work having been done upon it during last year, partly by aid of "unemployed;" and contracts for metalling some of the sections thus formed have recently been let, and are expected to be completed about November next. The bridge over the Upper Waiau, near the Hanmer Plains, has been commenced, and is expected to be finished about April next. The bridge over the Taieri, and the bridges over the Clutha at Beamont and Eoxburgh, are in progress. The bridge over the Clutha at Cromwell has not as yet been undertaken by the County Council, under the subsidy of £1 for £1 voted last year, but negotiations on the subject are still in progress. On the Haast Pass track a party of men has been set to work to render travelling practicable between the mouth of the river and the Haast Saddle. BOADS TO OPEN UP CEOWN LANDS BEFOEE SALE. On the numerous works under this designation, the laying-out and construction of which are entirely under the control of the Minister of Lands, a sum of £61,794 has been expended within the twelve months ended the 31st March last, and the liabilities on works in progress at that date were £61,372. It is proposed to continue the expenditure at the rate of £61,500 during the current year in further extension of road-formations through the blocks of Crown lands under survey in the several land districts of the colony. Full details of the works executed and in progress will be given in the annual survey reports. 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, 1885, when reduced in accordance with the Act of 1883, came to £255,476. Of these applications, those that were for the completion of bridges already commenced, amounting to £8,336 were granted in full, but all the rest were refused, owing to the repeal of the Act last session. In addition to these ordinary applications, there were also applications for repairs of extraordinary damages by floods, amounting to £7,591, and grants were made on these to the extent of £5,287, namely, £4,753 for bridges and £534 for roads. The total applied for altogether on account of main roads was, therefore, £263,067, and the total granted £13,623, of which £13,089 was for bridges and £534 for roads. 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 paid in Fifteen Years. On account of this class of works the total amount applied for during the year ended the 31st March last was £12,399, but owing to the repeal of the Eoads and Bridges Construction Act no grants were made, with the exception of £191 to complete works in terms of section 46 of the Act. The amounts of the several applications, and of the loans made within the different provincial districts, are shown in the table below : —
SUMMABY. It will thus be seen that the total amount applied for under the Act for works on main and district roads has been £275,466, and the total amount granted £13,814. PUECHASE OF NATIVE LANDS, NOET.H ISLAND. During the past financial year the Native Land Purchase Department, under the control of my colleague, the Native Minister, has completed the purchase of some twenty blocks of land, containing in the aggregate over 100,000 acres. Good progress has also been made in the acquisition of lands adjacent to the Northern Trunk Line of railway. The Waimarino Block, of 490,000 acres, has been passed through the Native Land Court and awarded to about one thousand owners, the majority of whom have already sold their interests to the Crown.

Over 1,500,000 acres of land in the Taupo District have also recently passed the Court, and the Government is negotiating the purchase of several blocks within this district which are contiguous to the railway and otherwise suitable for settlement. Sketch-maps and returns giving full details of the complete and incomplete transactions of this department are in course of preparation, and will be shortly laid before the House by the Minister for Native Affairs. IMMIGRATION. The number of immigrants introduced for the period between the Ist June, 1885, and the 30th April, 1886, was 545. This shows a considerable falling-off from the numbers given in last year's Statement, but the falling-off can be accounted for by the fact that the engagements with persons whose passages had been held over were, as stated last year, nearly all fulfilled, and, further, by the increased rate of payment for passages required to be made on making the nomination in the colony. Fresh regulations for nominated immigration were issued on the 28th September, 1885. By these a payment of ,£lO was required towards the passage of each adult, and £5 towards the passage of each child over twelve years of age. These sums it is estimated represent half the total cost to the colony of an immigrant from the time he leaves his home in Great Britain until he becomes a settler in New Zealand. Since the date of the regulations 658 nominations have been received and forwarded to the Agent-General, and an average of from 50 to 60 nominations are sent monthly, on which cash payments are made in the colony of sums varying from £400 to £500. From this it would seem that the settlers in New Zealand are not loth to induce their friends to join them, and that they are willing to prove their earnestness in the matter by paying half the cost of the expenses to which the colony is put in assisting them. A new feature in the regulations is the assistance which is given towards the emigration of farmers and agriculturists possessed of small capital. Under this scheme intending emigrants are assisted by the Agent-General to the same extent as persons who may be nominated in the colony. They are, however, required to prove that they are possessed of £100 in cash, and a sum equal to £50 for each child over twelve years of age. The steps taken by the Agent-General to give effect to these regulations will be found in the correspondence which will be laid upon the table. The total number of immigrants of all classes introduced into the colony since the inauguration of the immigration scheme by the Colonial Government is 112,493. A return will be laid before the House giving the details of the classes and the nationalities of these immigrants. TELEGEAPH EXTENSIONS. The telegraph extensions during the year consisted of the erection of 199 miles of new lines and 545 miles of additional wire, less 1$ miles of line and 88 miles of wire dismantled. The telegraph lines in use in the colony at the end of March last extended to a total length of 4,463 miles, carrying 10,931 miles of wire, of which 2,820 miles is duplexed. Telephone exchanges were set up during the year at Napier, Wanganui, and Timaru, making the exchanges now in operation ten, namely, at Auckland, Napier, Wellington, Wanganui, Nelson, Christchurch, Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin, and Invercargill; and they yielded a gross revenue during the last financial year of £12,294. The expenditure on new works and extensions of all classes last year was £36,009, and the vote proposed to be asked for this year is £21,700.

PUBLIC BUILDINGS. In my Statement of last session I showed that a decrease had been effected in expenditure on this class of works as compared with previous years; and I am happy to say that during last financial year a still further decrease in this class of expenditure has been effected. Thus, the expenditure for the year 1885-86 has been only £86,859, as against £117,361 for 1884-85, £164,376 for 1883-84, and £153,072 for 1882-83. A very large number of buildings have been dealt with during the year to a greater or less extent, but most of the work has consisted of small additions and repairs chiefly to police-stations and courthouses in the out-districts, and the only works of sufficient magnitude to call for special mention are the prisons at Auckland and Mount Cook. Plans have been completed for the Printing Office in Wellington, and alternative tenders in brick and timber respectively have been called for, but have not yet been dealt with pending the requisite amount being authorized by the House. In the Estimates, which will shortly be laid before honourable members, I have included amongst amounts for which authority is asked a sum of £13,000 for a portion of this building proposed to be undertaken at present, but of this amount, if granted, only about £5,000 will probably be expended during the current financial year. Competitive designs have also been obtained by the Government for Departmental Buildings in Auckland, and have been considered by the Engineer-in-Chief, who has selected the one which he considers the best for adoption. The sum of £12,000 has been provided for this building in the Estimates, and of this sum £2,000 would probably be required during the current year. The other important buildings proposed to be undertaken during the current year are considerable additions to the Auckland and Sunnyside Lunatic Asylums, and some further additions in the shape of outbuildings, &c, to the Lunatic Asylum at Seacliff, all of which are reported to be absolutely necessary works in order that the asylums may be anything like adequate to present requirements. A sum of £2,000 has also been provided on the Estimates for a building on tbe Lunatic Asylum reserve at Porirua, of which about £1,000 would probably be expended during the year. HAEBOUE DEFENCES. During the past twelve months considerable progress has been made in the scheme of defence. The works commenced in April last year, and which were designed to temporarily accommodate the guns already in the colony, have been in almost all cases carried to completion. At the same time they have been made of a thoroughly durable and substantial, instead of a temporary, nature. Additions have been made where necessary to accommodate the guns now being constructed for the colony in England, and fresh works have also been added, so that, provided there is no further delay in shipping the guns, two-thirds of the number can be mounted in the next few months, and the batteries in which they will be mounted completed. Submarine mining stations are being constructed in each of the four ports, and arrangements are also being made for lighting the harbours with very powerful electric lights. The contracts for the delivery of all these appliances are approaching completion, consequently within two or three months the colony will possess all the necessary equipment for providing a suitable submarine system of defence to supplement its other defence works. Owing to the delay in supplying the guns, submarine mines, and other material, a sum of £72,833 out of the amount voted last year has remained unexpended. The total amount required to carry on the works during this year, including the sum above mentioned, will be £120,000. The work was carried out last year principally by the Armed Constabulary, but the large amount of cheap labour which has become available since the commencement of the year has decided the Government to provide work for the unemployed on the batteries, and at the same time to make a considerable reduction in the Constabulary Force.

PUBLIC WOKKS FUND. The balance to the credit of the Public Works Fund on the 31st March last was £768,780, and, in addition to this amount, and such further funds as may be required to be raised for North Island Trunk Eailway, we propose a loan of £1,500,000, as described in the Financial Statement of my colleague, the Colonial Treasurer. . As against the credit balance of £768,780 existing at the end of March last, we had liabilities then existing to the extent of, nominally, £1,094,590; but these liabilities include an item on account of purchase of Native lands, North Island, amounting in all to £238,600; and, of this amount, £202,145 is for prospective liabilities, which will probably not come in for payment for a very considerable time, and which may therefore for the present be disregarded. Deducting this £202,145 from the total liabilities above stated, the actual liabilities which we have to deal with amount to £892,445, of which £387,592 is on account of railways, and the balance, £504,853, on account of works and undertakings other than railways. . Of the £387,592 liabilities on railways, the sum of £376,740 is on account of items covered by proposed loan, as set forth in the Financial Statement, leaving £10 852 to be covered by other funds. The liabilities on account of works and undertakings not covered by proposed Loan Schedule amount therefore to £892,445 less .-£376,740— namely, to £515,705. In connection with this question of liabilities, I have also to state here that the Government proposes that the purchases of Native lands in the vicinity of the North Island Trunk Eailway should be temporarily charged to the loan for that line, and that the proceeds of the sales of these lands should be credited to the same fund from time to time as the lands are disposed of. The amount which we propose to so expend upon these lands during the next two years is £100,000, of which about £80,000' would be expended this year, and the balance next'year. On this basis the liabilities at present existing on account of land purchases along this railway, which are estimated to amount to about £20,000, out of the £36,455 of actual liabilities on account of Native land purchase, will become a oharge against the North Island Trunk Loan ; and if this amount of £20,000 be deducted from the £515,705 of liabilities before arrived at, it leaves £495,705 as the amount of the liabilities which will be chargeable to the funds available for general purposes. . _ In addition to the £768,780 to credit of general Public Works Fund at the end of March last, that fund is also entitled to be recouped from the North Island Trunk Eailway Loan to extent of £60,780 for expenditure on that railway up to the 31st March last, so that the proper cash credit of the general fund, allowing for this repayment, was £829,560. Besides these assets we had also assets to the extent of £300,241, being the value of rails, sleepers, and rolling-stock in hand, unlaid, at the end of the year Of this material there would be required rails and sleepers to the value of about £10,241 for railways other than the North Island Trunk Eailway not covered by proposed Loan Schedule, leaving material to the value of, say, £290,000 available for use on the North Island Trunk Eailway and the several railways which are included in the Loan Schedule. Assuming that this material, to the value of £290,000 (which was purchased out of general Loan Fund), will be paid for from time to time as it is used, out of the amounts provided for the North Island Trunk Eailway and the railways included in the Loan Schedule, the £290,000 will be recouped to the general fund, and will thus be available for works other than railways. Taking credit for this amount then, our assets for general purposes at the end of March last would amount to £768,780, plus £60,780, plus £290,000, equal in all to £1,119,560, as against liabilities amounting to £495,705; so that we will have available for voting for absolutely new works other than railways a sum ol £623,855, in addition to re-voting the liabilities on same, amounting to £495,705. Our votes for undertakings other than railways can therefore reach up to fully £1,100,000 for the two years. 3-D. 1.

In assuming that £290,000 worth of the stock in hand, in the shape of permanent-way and rolling-stock, could fairly be allocated to the railways which are provided for in the proposed loan, I am keeping well within the requirements of these railways, as the value of the permanent-way and rollingstock which will be required to complete the lengths provided for in the Loan Schedule will be about £447,000. This is shown in detail in table marked A, which will be attache:! to this Statement, from which it will be seen, that of the 'total amount so required, £77,000 is for the North Island Trunk Railway, and the balance, £370,000, for the railways in the proposed Loan Schedule. Assuming that the loan of £1,500,000 will be authorized for new railways, the total funds which we will have available for voting during next two years will therefore be as follows :— 1. For the railways included in proposed Loan Schedule, after deducting, say, £213,000, to be recouped to the General Loan Fund for materials in hand, we will have available for construction works and further permanent-way and rolling-stock (including the expenses of floating the loan) the sum of £1,287,000. 2. For the North Island Trunk Eailway, after deducting similarly the sum of £77,000 for materials (which are in hand), and £60,780 for expenditure already incurred, to be recouped to the General Loan Fund, we will have available for construction works and land purchase, out of an allocation of £500,000 for two years, the sum of £302,220. 3. For general purposes (including railways other than the North Island Trunk and Loan Schedule Eailways), we will have £1,119,560. This is exclusive of permanent-way, in hand, for the railways included in this item, to the value of £10,241. The total amount which will thus be available for voting, during the next two years, out of the three funds in question, would be £2,768,780, and the result arrived at in this way of course agrees with the gross total of the funds themselves ; namely, new loan £1,500,000, plus North Island Trunk Eailway (allocation for two years) £500,000, plus balance of General Fund £768,780. As against these funds we propose to take votes for expenditure, including existing liabilities, during the present year to the extent of £1,538,700; but we will not expend quite so much as this, and the actual expenditure will not probably exceed, say, £1,400,000. The amounts proposed to be voted for expenditure this year on account of the several funds which I have described are as follows, the cost of general departmental supervision, amounting in all to £28,000, being allocated to the different items on a proportional basis : — (a.) For railways included in proposed Loan Schedule, £604,000. This includes expenses of raising loan £30,000, and supervision £11,000. (b.) For North Island Trunk Eailway, £213,000. This includes land purchases £80,000, and supervision £3,000. (c.) For general purposes, £721,700. This includes £16,400 for railways other than the North Island Trunk and Loan Schedule Eailways, and £14,000 for supervision. Assuming that we will spend in all during this year £1,400,000, and that our assets are, as before stated, £2,768,780, we will thus have available for expenditure next year on all accounts the sum of £1,368,780; and bearing in mind that our expenditure will never practically reach up to the amount of our votes on all the items, we will thus be in a position to bring down estimates for expenditure next year to about same amount as this year, namely, to extent of, say £1,400,000. Our ways and means for the next year's votes will therefore be ample— in fact, for railways and land purchases along the North Island Trunk line, they will be more than ample; and, as regards undertakings other than railways and land purchases along the North Island Trunk Eailway, it will be seen that the amount proposed to be voted for expenditure this year is £721,700 out of available funds amounting to £1,119,560, so that we will have £397,860 for expenditure on this class of items during next financial year. In considering whether or not this will be sufficient for the purpose, it has to be borne in mind that many of the votes appearing in the Estimates this year will, we hope, either disappear
D.—l
19
or be greatly reduced next year. Thus, for instance, we have this year to spend for Defence £120,000, while next year the amount will be only about £40,000. In connection with the Eoads and Bridges Construction Act we have to spend this year £39,740, while next year there will be no further expenditure asked for. For the roads north of Auckland £34,600 is required this year, and that practically fulfils all our engagements under that heading, and if our proposals for charging school buildings to Local Loans are approved of, the £55,000, or so, which we have been accustomed to vote yearly for school buildings, will also disappear from the Public Works Estimates. We are also in hopes, that with the liberal provision which has been made for loans to local bodies, the claims upon colonial funds for roads and bridges will not be so numerous. It seems probable, therefore, that the £397,860 above referred to will be quite ample for all that is required for general purposes (outside of railways and land purchases along North Trunk line) during the next financial year. ESTIMATES OF EXPENDITUEE DTJBING CUBBENT YEAB. The large amount of the votes which have been asked for from year to year for public works purposes, in comparison with the amounts which are actually required for expenditure, having frequently led to misunderstandings as to the real state of the case, I have framed my Estimates this year in a form which I believe will be more acceptable to honourable members, as they show in one column the amount required to be voted for actual expenditure on each work during the current year, and, in an adjoining column, the total amount which is required to be authorized in all, to cover contracts which will have to be let before further votes are granted by the House, but which will not come in for payment till next financial T7AQ I 1 The amounts in the second of these columns therefore correspond in character with the votes heretofore asked for, as they show the total authority required to cover the proposed expenditure this year, which provides for liabilities at present existing, together with the further undertakings to be entered into before this time next year, in order to keep the works going. By this means the House will see more clearly what our proposals actually are for the current year, and there is also what may seem, at any rate to some honourable members on the other side of the House/to be the additional advantage, that the Government is more strictly tied down to carry out its proposals than certain Governments have hitherto been, as our expenditure on any class of works will now be limited by the actual amount which we propose to expend on that class for the current year, instead of being capable of being extended up to a larger proportion of the authority granted for some classes, and a lesser proportion of other classes, as has hitherto been the case; that is to say, in fact the Government could gam nothing under the system which I now propose by retarding any one class of works with the view of unduly pushing others, as they will be limited on each class by the amount granted for actual expenditure on that class during the current year. With regard to the gross total so asked for for expenditure during any year, however, I should mention that it is not probable that this will in practice be quite reached up to, because we must necessarily provide for the full amount of payments which are estimated to fall due during the year on each class of works; and of course some of these may not so fall due, and besides that it would not be possible in any case to expend the full amount provided for all classes of work, without risk of exceeding on some of them, and as we cannot exceed on any of them, the inference is plain that the total expenditure must still be somewhat less than the total votes. I should also, however, make it perfectly clear that, while the House is only being asked to actually vote for expenditure this year the amount given in the first of the columns referred to, it is also being asked to authorize the entering into further contracts, and the incurring of further liabilities generally, up to the difference between the amounts in the first column and those in the second
D.—l
20
column, in order to keep the works going on during next year, so that the Government would be authorized in having liabilities at the end of this financial year, or shortly afterwards, reaching up to the amount of the difference between the first and second columns, in addition to expending during the current year the amount in the first column. Thus, the figures in the second column represent the full measure of the authorities which would be given to the Government for all purposes, while the figures in the first column represent the portions of the amounts so authorized which the Government would be warranted in expending on each class of work during the current year. If this arrangement is agreed to, it should also be placed properly on record; and I would, therefore, propose that the Public Works Estimates, after revision by the House, should be bound up with the Appropriations, as is, I believe, already the custom in some of the adjoining colonies. The adoption of the system which I have here advocated would also do away with the present anomaly that, while over a series of years we have voted hundreds of thousands of pounds for some works, we have in reality only expended tens of thousands on those works, but have expended close up to the full amount voted on other works. The preparation of the Estimates in this new form has taken rather more time than if I had adhered to the old plan, and has given me a great deal of personal trouble, as the amounts required for expenditure during the year had to be very carefully considered, but if I have succeeded in meeting the wishes of the House in this particular I shall not at all regret the labour I have devoted to it. The amounts which we propose to ask the House to vote for expenditure during the current year are as follows :— For Immigration, with liabilities at the end of March last amounting to £7,000, we ask for a vote of £19,200. For Departmental Expenditure, with liabilities of £719, we ask for a vote of £28,000. For Eailway works of all classes, with liabilities of £387,592, we ask for a vote of £709,400, the details for the several classes of works being as follows: New works, Construction and Land, with liabilities of £224,113; amount asked for, £463,400. Additions to Opened Lines, with liabilities of £50,160; amount asked for, £93,000. Permanent-way, Sleepers, and Boiling-stock, with liabilities of £112,072; amount asked for, £150,000. Surveys of New Lines of Eailway, with liabilities of £1,247; amount asked for, £3,000. For Eoads of all classes, with liabilities of £254,350, we ask for a vote of £327,600. This includes various classes of roads, as follows: Eoads North of Auckland, with liabilities of £32,147 ; amount asked for, £34,600. Main Eoads, with liabilities of £14,277 ; amount asked for £24,900. Miscellaneous Eoads and Bridges, with liabilities of £34,881; amount asked for, £52,600. Grants-in-aid under the Eoads and Bridges Construction Act, and subsidies to local bodies, with liabilities of £66,884; amount asked for, £97,000. Eoads to open up Crown Lands, with liabilities of £61,372; amount asked for, £61,500. Improvements Village Special Settlements, with no liabilities as yet; amount asked for, £5,000. Eoads on Goldfields, with liabilities of £44,789; amount asked for, £52,000. For Waterworks on Goldfields, with liabilities of £14,963, we ask for a vote of £15,100. For the Purchase of Native Lands, with presently accruing liabilities amounting to £36,455, we ask for a vote of £100,000, that being sufficient to meet the probable payments which will become due during the current year, the further prospective liabilities on this item (amounting to £202,145) being left out of consideration, as not applying to present year. For Telegraph Extension, with liabilities of £3,700, we ask for a vote oi £21,700. For Public Buildings, with liabilities of £23,255, we ask for a vote of £112,000. This includes school buildings, £55,000, as against liabilities at end of March last of £1,400.
21
D.—l.
For Lighthouses and Harbour Works (including Harbour Defences), with liabilities of ,£164,411, we ask for a vote of ,£127,800. The amount included in this for Harbour Defences is .£120,000, as against liabilities at 31st March of £160,751, but as all the liabilities will not mature this year a vote for £120,000 will probably be sufficient. For Charges and Expenses of raising Loans we ask for a vote of £30,000. For Contingent Defence we ask for a vote of £12,500. This is for the purpose of supplementing the amount provided in Consolidated Fund Estimates for the Armed Constabulary Field Force, in consequence of their being employed on construction of batteries. We also ask for a vote of £35,400 to cover payments in respect of rates payable to local bodies on Crown and Native lands. The total amount proposed to be voted is thus, £1,538,700, which includes liabilities (comprising £36,455 for native lands) amounting to £892,445. It will thus be seen that it is contemplated to spend this year about £646,255 on new works, outside of those included in the liabilities existing at 31st March last. Sir, I have trespassed on your patience and that of honourable members to a much greater extent than I should have felt justified in doing had I not been convinced that it was of the greatest importance to lay before the House a clear statement of the position of the works already in hand by the Government, and also our proposals for the future. In conclusion, I venture to express the hope that before the time comes round for the next Public Works Statement the rise which has recently taken place in the great staple productions of the colony may prove to be the precursor of a general improvement in the position of all classes of the community, and that by careful administration during the year the Government may be able to come down to the House with a statement as favourable as that I have now delivered. It only now remains for me to thank you, Sir, and the House for the kind consideration you have shown to me this evening. The usual reports by the several permanent officers of the Department will be attached to this Statement, and also the usual tables showing cost of works, and results of working railways.

A total length of 135 miles 28 chains of railway has been opened during the year—43 miles 50 chains in the North Island, and 91 miles 58 chains in the Middle Island. The sections making up these lengths are as follow, and include certain railways purchased by Government from private companies:—
Appended to this report is a coloured diagram which shows the length of railway opened each year from the commencement. Kawakawa Bailway. A few minor works, such as road-crossings, and fencing near Taumarere, are all that have been done on this line during the year. Whangaeei-Kamo Railway. Tho proposed extension of this railway to deep-water at Grahamstown has been surveyed, and plans and estimates of the cost have been prepared. A branch railway to the Whauwhau coalmine, 1 mile 9 chains long, has been made by the proprietors, and connected with the main line at 1 mile 79 chains from port. The work was done under the supervision of this department, and passed as fit for traffic on the 18th August. Kaipaea-Waikato Railway and Beanch. Works in Auckland. —The new passenger-station contract was completed on the 27th November last; the station-yard was also completed about the same time, and the station was opened for public traffic on the 30th November. The only work now being done is the completion of the metalling of the approaches. A few small items of work have been done at Newmarket workshops. Minor Improvements, —A considerable amount of fencing has been done on the main line at Pukekohe, Taupaki, Manurewa (Papakura), and Papakura. Cottages have been built at Penrose and Te Awamutu, and a statiomnaster's house in Auckland new passenger-station yard Surveys. —The proposed new line of railway from Auckland to Penrose, via the beach, has been surveyed, and plans and estimates for two alternative lines have been prepared. The survey of the proposed railway route through the City of Auckland and suburbs, commencing at Kingsland Railway -station, and going northward to Auckland new railway-station, via Freeman's Bay and Customhouse Street West, was begun in February last, and it is expected that the field-work and plans will be finished in about a month. The survey of the Huntly Branch Railway has been completed, and plans of the same, including a bridge over the Waikato River, have been prepared in readiness to call for tenders. Pukckohe-Waiuku Branch. —The survey of this line has been completed, and plans and sections have been prepared, as well as plans showing the amount of land required for the railway. The survey of the main railway as constructed is well advanced, viz., the survey up to 98 miles and the levelling up to 77-J- miles, leaving 22-J miles of field-work to be completed. The plans of 27 miles have been finished, and the remainder up to 77-J miles will, it is expected, be finished in about two months. Waikato-Thames Railway. Hamilton-Te Aroha Section. —The works connected with the swing-bridge over the Thames at Te Aroha have been completed for some time, and the works on the permanent-way and part-forma-tion contract, Morrinsville to Te Aroha, were so far completed as to allow of the line being opened throughout for public traffic on the Ist instant. There are still a few minor works to be attended to, as well as the completion of the station-buildings contract, which was only let on the 15th February last; consequently, the great bulk of the work is yet in hand, and is spread over five different stations. The permanent water-supply at Te Aroha is also in hand, as well as the fencingin of the station ground.

Grahamslown-Hikutaia Section. —Hikutaia contract, formation only, commencing at end of Kauaeranga section, 4£ miles, and terminating at 12 miles 65 chains, was let by contract on the 28th July, 1885, and should be finished on the 28th January, 1887. The work is progressing fairly well, and is about one-half done. Surveys. —The survey of the remaining portion of this line—from Hikutaia to Te Aroha—was begun in February last, and has progressed as far as 22 miles 26 chains. It was slightly obstructed at times by the Natives, but their opposition appears to have been withdrawn. Hamilton-Cambridge Branch Railway. —ln connection with this the Victoria Eoad has been formed and metalled from Hautapu Railway-station to Cambridge town boundary. Some requisite fencing has also been erected. Main Teukk Railway : Nokth End. Puniu Contract. —Formation and permanent-way, 15 miles 2 chains, reaching from Te Awamutu southward. This contract was let on the 13th April, 1885, and the contract-time will expire on the 13th April, 1886. The works will not be completed by that time, but the contractor is making steady progress. The Puniu bridge has been completed, and the rails have been laid for Z\ miles. A portion of the formation of this contract, viz., from the 6th to the 12th mile, was reserved for Maori piecework, which was begun in April, 1885, with eight parties of Natives. In all thirty sections were let, and twenty-five of these have been satisfactorily completed. Three will be finished in a few weeks, and the rest in about three months. The latter comprises the long embankment across the Ivawa swamp, 7 miles 45 chains to 8 miles 25 chains. In connection with the Kawa Railway-station a branch road to connect with the main road leading south from the Puniu, let on piecework in nine sections to parties of Natives, was satisfactorily completed in May last. The length of this road is 3 miles 70 chains. Te liuiti Contract, including formation and permanent-way, 10 miles 58 chains long, was advertised in August last, but was withdrawn from tender in September. This contract joins the Puniu contract, and the formation on the first five miles was reserved for piecework by the Natives living near. Puro-o-tarao Tunnel Contract. —This is about forty-eight miles south of Te Awamutu, and was let on the 11th August last, the date for completion being the 11th August, 1887 ; its length is 1 mile 34 chains. The principal work done has been in connection with getting the materials to the ground. This was accomplished by the use of punts on the Waipa River from Alexandra to Te Kuiti, from whence to the tunnel the contractors formed a rough road suitable for bullock-teams. Other preliminary work has been done, such as bush-felling and clearing, and the cutting of timber for bridgework. Euad-ivorhs in Connection with the Main Trunk Raihuay. —The Puniu River cart-bridge was one of the works found to be absolutely necessary to give safe and convenient access to the railway works and to the Native lands south of the Puniu River (confiscated lands boundary), and a contract for the work was let the 17th July, and was finished the 19th December of same year—lßßs. The bridge consists of three spans of 40ft. each and six spans of 20ft. each—total, 240 ft. It was also deemed necessary to form a road alongside the Ongaruhe River above the point to which it is navigable for canoes—viz., Te Koura, and leading northwards towards the Puro-o-tarao tunnel. This work has been done for about fourteen miles. It was offered to the Natives in July last, but they refused to take it, except at prices which were much too high. It was then offered to Europeans, who took it at fair rates in four sections, on which sixty men were set to work, and who finished it satisfactorily. Another portion of this road—Waimiha to Te Koura, five miles—was advertised for public tender on the 11th August, but all the tenders were declined, being too high. Proposed railway connection between New Plymouth and Auckland. —This question has been under consideration, and, judging from the amount of information in possession of the department, there is little doubt that a fairly workable line at a not immoderate cost could be obtained. It would start from "Waitara, along the coast to th.c Mimi River ; thence up one of the branches of that river, crossing the range into the Tangarakau, and onwards towards the Ohura, up which valley a fair route could be found, joining the Mam Trunk line at a point about 60 miles south of Te Awamutu The length of this line would be about 75 miles. Cottages have been built for the accommodation of the engineering staff at 11 miles 61 chains and at 14 miles 14 chains, both four-roomed ; also at 17 miles 38 chains, three-roomed ; at 19 miles 77 chains, two-roomed ;at 25 miles 68 chains, six-roomed; at 48 miles 25 chains, six-roomed. The latter is near the tunnel described above. Sleepers. —Contracts for sleepers have been let to the extent of 66,000, and 18,000 have been taken over from the Working Railways Department. Surveys. —Southwards of the Te Kuiti contract comes the Waiteti contract, 8 miles 52 chains long. The contract survey of this was completed and plans and sections made in January last. The Mokau section follows next, of which a trial survey four miles in length, extending to the saddle between the Mokau and Paretikoura Rivers, has been completed. At this point the survey was stopped, along with other works, to reduce expenditure. Southwards of the Puro-o-tarao tunnel for 4-| miles a survey of the railway-line was also finished, but was stopped at the same time and for the same reason as the one described. Revision and Correction of tlie first preliminary Survey made by Mr. Rochfort. —During the year Mr. Rochfort has been surveying, locating, and grading the line between Turangarere to Waimarino, 14-J- miles; all in bush. He also explored for a suitable cart-road from Ohakune to the Wanganui River, and, as before described, the one starting from Pipiriki was found to be the best and shortest. Other lines were explored, viz.—from Ranana and Hiruharama respectively—but were found to be too rough, as was also another line explored down the Manganui-a-te-ao River. Pack-tracks have been made by Mr. Rochfort's party to the extent of 35 miles in all, viz., from Ohakune towards
D.-l
30
Pipiriki, 14 miles; thence to Turipo on the Native track to Eanana, 7 miles; from Ohakune northwards towards Waimarino, 6f miles ; from Waimarino southwards towards Ohakune, 1-J---miles ; and from Ohakune southwards to the Murimotu Plains, 6-| miles: leaving a gap of about 6J miles to complete. From Taumaranui towards Waimarino some 21 miles are fit for packhorses, leaving about four miles to complete the track through to the Waimarino Plains. The routes followed by these pack-tracks have been surveyed. When these gaps are cut through we shall have a continuous paok-track from Taumaranui to Murimotu, which will represent a saving of sixty miles of travelling between Ohakune and Waimarino alone. Mr. Bochfort has also executed a compass survey of the Wanganui River from Taumaranui to Upokongaro, 129 miles; and has also reported on the suitability of the river for navigation. For the convenience of these inland surveys and explorations two plank-houses and two storehouses have been built at Taumaranui; at Waimarino one plank-house, and at Ohakune two plank-houses and one storehouse has been built. It is proposed to increase the number of these houses and stores from time to time. Thames Valley and Eotoeua Eailway.-—(Peivate Eaiiway purchased by Goveenment.) A portion of this work—(constructed by a company bearing title as above) —viz., 31 miles, from Morrinsville to Oxford, was inspected by this department, and passed as fit for public traffic on the sth March, and on the Bth March it was formally opened. The Engineers for the work, Messrs. Stewart and Hunter, reported as follows, viz.: — "Morrinsville to Oxford. —On the Bth March this portion of first section of the Thames Valley and Eotorua Eailway was formally opened for traffic by the Working Eailways Department. The works were not as fully completed at the time as we could have wished, but most of the shortcomings have since been rectified by the contractor, and station-buildings and other works fully completed." " Oxford to Lich field (12 miles). —Tho works are still in progress, the contractors being very much behindhand with contract. We hope, however, to have everything ready for handing over by the latter end of next month; but everything will depend upon the time occupied in constructing the Lichfield water-supply and tanks." Tho second section of this railway, extending from Putaruru Junction, five miles north of Lichfield, is now under survey, and contract plans for the first eight miles are expected to be ready by about the end of April or beginning of May. Wellington-Napier Eailway—Napiee to Woodvjlle. Tamaki Contract. -This extends southwards of Tahoraite (the end of the opened line) for a distance of 13 miles 4328 chains, and includes formation and platelaying. It was let on Bth May, 1885, and the time for completion is Bth February, 1887. The contractor has made fair progress with his work : the earthwork is about two-thirds done, bridge-work about half, concrete work and culverts almost complete, platelaying not yet begun. This contract reaches to within a mile and a half of Woodville Eailway-station, and for this distance it is proposed that a small formation contract will shortly be let. Woodville Station ground and the approach road to it has been partly formed by a number of unemployed sent from Napier : the number never exceeded thirty ; many of them left as better work offered, and the last of them departed early in February. Awapurua Bridge Contract. —This work was satisfactorily completed and the bridge opened for public traffic on the 9th July, 1885. Some extra protective works considered to be necessary at five of the piers at the north end of the bridge are still in progress, bat will shortly be completed. Works on Open Lines. —Sundry small works have been executed, and water-supplies, to be used in case of fire, have been constructed at the viaducts over the Manawatu and Makatoku rivers, and arrangements are being made to protect in the same way those over the Mangarangiora, Mangatewainui, Mangatera, and Whakaruatapu. Erection of Bolting-stock. —Under an authority issued in 1883 the work of erecting three goods-brakes, three horse-boxes, ten cattle-trucks, five sheep-trucks, twelve timber-trucks, twenty low-side wagons, and twenty high-side wagons has been completed at the workshops, Napier. Wellington-Napiee Eailway—Wellington to Woodville. Opaki Contract (8 miles 6 chains, formation and permanent-way).—The works described in last year's report as being in progress are now completed. Station-buildings are now being erected, in view of the opening of the line. Kopuaranga Contract (8 miles 9 chains, formation only).—This work was satisfactorily completed on the 14th January. As a means of increasing the public convenience, it was decided to proceed with the extension of the platelaying over this latter contract as soon as that on the Opaki contract was finished, and the rails are being laid to Mauriceville, 12 miles beyond Masterton, with the view of making this a temporary terminus from and to which the coaches to Woodville and Napier will depart and arrive. Sufficient station accommodation will be provided (under contract) to meet this arrangement, and it is expected that this portion of the railway will be ready for public traffic sometime in May. Arrangements are also being made to extend the platelaying beyond Mauriceville to Mangamahoe, the end of the Kopuaranga contract, about four miles further, and to erect the necessary station-buildings, &c. This work may probably occupy a further period of three months. Sleepers. —Contracts for 12,000 sleepers were entered into for the above sections. Surveys. —The survey of the railway-line south of Woodville has been in hand for some time— eight miles have been located and pegged, and eight miles of trial survey have been completed. It is intended to complete the survey as far as Eketahuna, to ■ which place it has already been made from the Wellington cud, viz., about 89 miles in all.

Foxton-New Plymouth Eailway. Moturoa Contract (2 miles 35 chains) extends from New Plymouth to the Breakwater. It consists of formation and permanent-way, and is now nearly finished ; it will probably be opened for traffic early in May. The necessary station-buildings and appliances are in progress. Works on Open Lines. —Various necessary works have been done at several stations, fencing at several places along the line, and large additions to the workshops at East Town, Wanganui, have been made, to give room for additional requisite machinery, &c. The Carnarvon-Sandon Tramway, which joins the main line at Carnarvon, has been extended 4-| miles bo Sandon by the Manawatu County Council; and this was ready for traffic on the 11th November, 1885. The "Wanganui Heads Eailway, constructed by a company, joins the Wanganui Railwaystation at the west end; it is 3 miles 50 chains long, and was ready for traffic on the 29th September, 1885 ; it has a station and small wharf just inside the entrance of Wanganui Eiver. Erection of Rolling-stock. —At Sentry Hill workshops were erected two brake-vans, nine cattle-trucks, one horse-box, and ten high-side wagons ; and at East Town workshops were erected two bogie-carriages 44ft. long, and 1 locomotive engine. There are now five bogie-carriages on this line. Surveys. —l 7 miles 45 chains of the survey of the railway as actually constructed from Waitara towards Hawera have been completed. Land-plan Surveys. —The following have been done during the year, viz., Waiongona to Stratford, 15-J miles ; land for Moturoa section (2 miles 35 chains); also other small surveys. Palmebston-Woodville Eailway. The survey between Palmerston North and the west end of the Gorge (8 miles 6 chains), described as being in progress last year, has been completed, and plans and sections have been prepared. The survey of the railway-line through the Gorge (4 miles 32 chains) has also been completed, and plans and sections have been prepared, in view of calling tenders for the work. Noeth Island Main Tkukk Eailway : South End. Marton Junction Station. —The execution of this work, being on the main line of railway (Foxton-New Plymouth), was placed in the hands of the Working Eailways Department, and is now completed. Engine-shed, coal-store, passenger-platform, and stationmaster's house have been erected. Porewd Contract (12 miles 54 chains) adjoins the Marton Junction Station. It was let by contract 11th April, 1885 ; but, the contractor having failed to make good progress, the work was taken out of his hands, after the usual notices had been given, and a new contract was entered into, under which good progress has been made. The work is now about five-eighths completed. Munteroille Contract (5 miles 57 chains) joins that last described. It was advertised for public tender, and tenders were received, but none were accepted, owing to the necessity for limiting the expenditure on railways. Surveys. —From 18 miles 31 chains, the end of Hunterville contract, the survey has been completed and plans prepared ready for a new contract as far as 23 miles 18 chains. Between 23 miles 18 chains and 26 miles several trial lines have been run, crossing the large gully called Makohine : but this portion of the line has not yet been decided on; the rough nature of the country demands further exploration, and more trial lines. It is expected, however, from recent observations, that the difficulty will be surmounted when the survey is again taken up. From 26 miles onwards the line has been located as far as 31 miles 16 chains. This portion is generally favourable for construction, except at the Powhakaroa spur, where a tunnel of about 27 chains will be needed. Trial surveys have been carried on as far as 37 miles (corresponding to 39J miles on Mr. Bochfort's line), and the country has been further explored as far as the Hautapu, to 41 miles. Some parts of this will be rather heavy, including crossing of gullies, and deep cuttings through spurs, with a few small tunnels, although the remainder is reported as involving work of a more moderate character. Service-roads to and along Railway-line. —This work was begun the 16th April, 1885. It starts from the Marton-Murimotu Eoad at Pukeore, about twenty miles from Marton ; at 3 miles it joins the railway-line at 22-J- miles, and thence follows the general direction of the railway. A length of 13f miles has been opened. The work includes several small bridges and culverts. It is laid off as a dray-road, but has been formed for the present as a good pack-track. In the bush it is cleared 16ft. to 22ft. wide, leaving the larger trees standing; and the side-cuttings are sft. to 6ft. wide in the solid. Boad, Pipiriki to Ohakune. —Pipirikiis on the left bank of the Wanganui Eiver, and about fiftyseven miles from Wanganui; it has been selected as the most favourable starting-point for a road to connect with the Murimotu District, and the work of forming it as a dray-road is now in progress. The total length is about 25 miles, of which about three miles have been completed, besides about 14 miles which have been opened out as a pack-track. It is intended to bridge the various streams substantially, and to make the road serviceable for the conveyance of railway material to the interior. Wanganui River; Snagging and Clearing. —This work was started in the beginning of August, 1885, about twenty-five miles above Wanganui, with one old punt. Two more punts were speedily built, and properly fitted for lifting snags and rocks; another punt has also been built, as a dwelling for the workmen engaged in the work of snagging : by this means comfortable quarters have been provided for them near their work. Thirty-one rapids have been cleared, and a number of isolated. 6—D. 1.
D.-l
32
snags removed from the reaches between the rapids. The number of snags to be removed is very great. From some of the rapids from three to eight hundred snags have been removed ; and at one rapid a reef of "papa" rock had to be blasted and broken up, 60ft. long, 30ft. wide, and 3ft. deep ; in other places boulders weighing from three to four hundredweight up to a ton had to be lifted at>d moved. The work has progressed as far as Kaiwhaika, forty-six miles above Wanganui. The object has been to obtain about 2ft. of water on the various rapids at the ordinary summer level, although a few of the shingle bars may have less than this, viz., from 15in. to 18in. : these, however, it is proposed to improve so as to obtain the necessary depth. Some of the long flat reaches have not more than 2ft of water in them during the summer. It is expected that by about May or June the snagging will have been completed as far as Pipiriki—that is, to where the road to the interior, described above, will begin. Mr. J. T. Stewart, District Engineer, who inspected the river, in October, 1885, from Taumaranui downwards, made a special detailed report on it, accompanied by sketches illustrative of the nature of the falls and rapids, and of the varied and striking scenery on its course. This report is very interesting, and is attached hereto. A private company in Wanganui has built a stern-wheel steamer, intended to navigate the river, and to carry material for the railway when required. She has, however, been only a partial success : she has navigated the river as far as Pipiriki; but her limited power and speed (about seven miles per hour) will prevent her being usefully employed in carrying heavy cargo as intended. This will be obvious when it is stated that some of the rapids, in their swiftest portions, have a speed of seven miles an hour. A vessel, to make good headway and to surmount these, should have a speed of at least twelve or thirteen miles an hour in still water. I should recommend that at least two stern-wheel steamers of the most improved form should be ordered from England at an early date : there are firms there who have made the construction of such vessels a speciality, and who, on the requisite information being supplied to them, would send out exactly what would be required. Nelson-Roundell Railway. The present railway is opened to Belgrove, 22 miles ; and a formation contract (Wai-iti) was completed last year for 2| miles further, beyond which no further work has been done this year. Picton-Hueunui Railway. The Dashivood Contract, 3J miles long, formation only, is the only work in progress at this end of the line ; it begins at a point 22J miles from Picton. The work has proceeded slowly during the year, and is as yet only half done; it is calculated that it will take at least fifteen months yet to finish it. The contractor has been urged to expedite the work. Picton Wharf Extension. —This is a contract for lengthening the Picton Wharf 100 ft., a work much needed to accommodate' the steam vessels calling at the port; it is expected to be finished in about a month. Surveys. —Land surveys and plans have been made for the Wai-iti section, and the land has been taken by Proclamation. Land survey plans for the Vernon section have been made, and the land has been taken by Proclamation. The survey for land and plans for the Dashwood section is not yet done, but will be attended to soon. Number of Men employed in Nelson and Marlborough Districts. —This has averaged 141, of which 125 have been employed by contractors, the rest by Government. Gbeymouth-Hokitika Railway. A contract for laying the permanent way from 0 miles 9 chains, in the Town of Hokitika, to 4 miles, near the Arahura River, was entered into early in the year, and the work was completed in December last. This portion, it is believed, will be found useful in conveying sawn timber to the port. During last month a number of unemployed men were sent from Canterbury to work on this railway (about one hundred): they were set to work on a section between the sth and 7th miles, immediately north of the Arahura River. A small number of local unemployed were also set to work between the 16th and 17th mile pegs, the rate of pay being limited to ss. per day of eight hours. The bridge-site at the Arahura River has been re-surveyed, with a view of preparing plans of the bridge and calling for tenders for the work. This will be done shortly. Work has been done in the proposed Greymouth Station yard, in the way of levelling and filling up, about 7,000 tons of quarry-rubbish having been deposited there. Westpokt-Ngakawau Railway. No additional works have been carried out on this open line during the year. The Westport Harbour Board have opened out two quarries near Cape Fouhvind Lighthouse, one of granite and one of limestone, both good in quality; and a railway has been constructed thence to the southern or main breakwater, on which a beginning has been made. It is expected that by the beginning of May the Harbour Board will be in a position to begin the work of construction in good earnest. The half-tide training-wall in the river on the north side has been completed for some time, and with good effect. Gbeymouth-Beunnerton Railway. Some additional moorings have been fixed to the Johnston Street Wharf, at Greymouth; and a footway has been constructed on the top of the Grey Gorge Bridge at Brunnerton : this was considered necessary to insure the safety of foot-passengers.

Plans have been prepared for the extension of the wharf at Greymouth, and tenders will shortly be call for its construction. It will be 650 ft. long, and will be fitted with two 8-ton cranes, intended to lift the bodies of the coal wagons, containing 6 tons each, at one lift and deposit their load in one operation in the vessels hold. The Greymouth harbour works have been carried on by the Harbour Board during the year with success. The southern or main breakwater has now nearly reached its intended limit, and the works on the northern side of the river have been begun. The effect of all these works on the bar is most marked, and there is little doubt that on their completion a steady deep-water channel over the bar will be secured. The works are standing the assaults of the sea very well, as the stones used are of great size and weight and very soon settle themselves into a permanent position. Number of Men employed in Westland District. — These are as follows, viz., under contractors, 60 ; under Government, 19 : total, 79. Hueunui-Waitaki Railway and Beanches. Hurunui Northwards. —The contract for the erection of the Hurunui bridge and a section of formation and permanent-way south of the bridge —1 mile 14-| chains—was satisfactorily completed on the 23rd January ; and the Culverden Permanent-way contract, extending from the last-named contract to Culverden, 9 miles 50 chains, was completed on the 31st December, 1885, the work having been done within two months. Both sections were opened for public traffic on the 9th February. The painting of the Hurunui bridge is now in hand under contract. Works on Open Lines. —During the year 1,697 cubic yards of heavy stone-work have been tipped over the cliff at Timaru, to prevent encroachment of the sea. Further protection may yet be necessary, but the encroachment is not now so rapid as formerly. There have been 520 chains of single fence erected on the Upper Ashburtou Branch. Water-services at Oust and West Oxford have been improved; and new water-services have been put in hand at Medbury and Culverden. A considerable amount of tree-planting has been done by the "unemployed" on the Canterbury railways. Upper Ashburton Branch; Mount Somers Contract.— This contract—l mile 47f chains—includes the formation of a bridge over the Ashburton River 1,204 ft. in length, and was completed on the 30th March, 1886. Platelaying and ballasting have also been done as far as the south end of the bridge. Mount Somers Extension Contract. —This work is now advertised for public tender. It includes completion of permanent-way to Mount Somers and the necessary station-buildings; length, 75 chains. Lincoln-Little Biver Branch ; Little Biver Contract.— -This includes formation and permanentway between Birdling's Flat and Little River—s miles 38 chains—as well as station-buildings at Little River. It was finished on the 6th March, and opened for public traffic on the 16th March. Oxford to Sheffield and Whitecliffs Extension. —The contract for the extension of the Whitecliffs Branch (24 chains), including a bridge over the River Selwyn, was completed on the 28th September. The rails have not yet been laid. Surveys. —The trial survey of a proposed railway from Little River to Duvauchelles' Bay (Akaroa) has almost been completed, but the work has not yet been all plotted. _ The ruling gradient is lin 50, and the hill would require a tunnel of about 140 chains long to obtain this grade. The sections, so far, do not indicate any other very heavy work. Land-plan Surveys. —The following have been made, viz., Birdling's Flat to Little River, 5£ miles ; Culverden sections, Whitecliffs Branch extension, Upper Ashburton Branch extension. Land Plans.— The following have been completed during the year, viz., Hurunui northwards, 10} miles; Kaiapoi, Eyreton, 20 miles; Lincoln, Little River, 22J miles; Upper Ashburton Branch, 23} miles : total, 76 miles. Number of Men employed. —ln the Canterbury District this has averaged as follows for the year, viz., employed by Government, 280 ; employed by contractors, 194 : total, 474. Waitaki Bluff Railway and Beanches. Dunedin Goods Yard. —Several extra sidings, a coal store, ashpits, and a 50-ft. turntable were compbted in this yard by the Public Works Department up to the 9th November, at which date the works were handed over to the Working Railways Department, to complete as occasion required. Dunedin Station Overbridge Contract. —The materials for this contract did not arrive in the colony till long after the specified time, consequently the work is much behindhand. The contractor is now making fair progress with its construction. The filling-in of the approaches^ to this bridge, which did not form part of the above contract, was used as a means of providing work for the unemployed in Dunedin, and the western approach is now well in hand, and will probably be completed in three or four weeks. The unemployed were set to work on the formation and metalling of Cumberland Street from Rattray Street to Anderson's Bay Road, and this work will be completed in a week or two. They were employed in levelling and reclaiming the site of the old railway-station, which work is now nearly done; and also in the formation of half the width of Crawford Street, between Rattray Street and Anderson's Bay Road: on this there are about seventy to eighty men employed. Beclamation North of Stuart Street.— This work was completed in October last. Biver Protection at Balclutha. —This work, since its completion, has stood the action of two or three considerable floods without being injured, and the result may be considered satisfactory. The vegetation—gorse, willows, and other shrubs —planted along the face of the embankment have grown well and clothed the embankment from end to end,

Ngapara Branch. —The work of re-laying this branch with heavier rails (401b.) has been completed, with extra earthwork and ballasting, and the strengthening of bridges. Livingston Branch (Eakis' Contract). —This includes four miles of formation and platelaying, starting from its junction with the Ngapara Branch. The work is practically finished, and will be taken over in a short time. The survey of this branch to the end of the 12th mile has been made and contract plan completed, in view of calling for tenders for this work. Palmerston-Waihcmo Railway. —A contract for laying permanent-way and erecting stations has been completed during the year —length, 6 miles 77 chains, making a total length, from its junction with the main line near Palmerston, of 8 miles 55 chains. It was opened to Dunback (the terminal station) on the Ist October. Gatlins River Railway. —The contract for permanent-way and stations on this line was completed on the 14th December, and on the 15th December it was opened for public traffic. Its length, from the junction with Balclutha Station to Eomahapa, at the Port Molyneaux Eoad, is 7 miles 72 chains. Waimea-Switzer' s Railway. —A further portion of this line has been surveyed to Switzer's, and a contract can be prepared at short notice. The formation and fencing for the first seven miles have already been executed. Seaward Bush Railway (W&ima,tua, Contract). —2-J-miles long, formation only, extending from the end of the Appleby contract, which was three miles long from its junction with the Bluff line. This work was completed on the 15th June. A contract for platelaying over both these sections was let on the 27th July, 1885, and the work is now nearly finished. The next section of 5 miles 45 chains (Otaramika contract) is now ready, and tenders may be called for when thought desirable. Inveecabgill-Kingston Eailway, with Beanches, including Westeen Eailwats. A few minor improvements and additions have been made on the above at various stations. Lumsden-Mararoa Branch. —This branch was opened for public traffic on the 13th March for a distance of 6 miles 30 chains, the latest work executed being formation from 6 miles to 6 miles 30 chains and the laying of permanent-way from 3 miles 60 chains, also the erection of necessary station accommodation. Beyond this a contract for formation and permanent-way as far as Mossburn— 10 miles 40 chains—has been entered into, and the work is now in progress. Riverton—Orepuki Branch. —The laying of permanent-way and erection of station-buildings over the last section of this line—lo miles 35 chains—terminating at the Government township of Hirstfield, was completed on the 27th April, and opened for public traffic on the sth May, 1885. Otago Centbal Eailway. Wingatui Permanent-way Contract (6 miles 65 chains) includes permanent-way, also formation of junction station at main line and laying sidings therein, erection of engine-sheds and coal store and engine-pits, and all sleepers. The work is now all but finished. Mullocky Contract. —This includes the completion of some unfinished formation from 6 miles 65 chains to 7 miles 54 chains, and was completed on the 3rd February, 1886. .Hindon Section Tunnels Co?itract includes five tunnels.

Wingatui Viaduct; Masonry Piers and Abutments Contract. —This tender was let on the 3rd July, 1885, to be completed by the 3rd January, 1886. The works are, however, behindhand, owing to various causes for delay —amongst others, that of the nature of the foundations in piers 2 and 7, which demanded extra precautions. Wingatui Viaduct; Piers and Superstructure Contract.- —This work is now going on in a satisfactory manner. The whole of the piers will be ready to be conveyed to the site in a few weeks. The contractor will then take up the construction of the superstructure. All the iron required for this contract has been delivered in New Zealand. Hindon Contract (formation only). —A considerable amount of work yet remains to be done, and the contract time has expired (3rd March). It will take fully two or three months to complete. Completion of Deep Stream Contract. —This work, according to contract, should be finished by the 22nd August, 1886 ; but it is not probable that it will be done until some two or three months later. Nenthorn Contract. —Time of completion, 3rd May, 1886. This work will be several months behind time. It has therefore become necessary to urge those contractors who are behind time to a more vigorous prosecution of their works. Boring for testing Foundations of other Bridges. —Nearly all these borings have been completed, and the information will soon be available. Average Number of Men employed on Public Works. —The numbers for this district stand as follows, viz., Government labourers, 74; contractors'labourers, 674; unemployed (four months), 170 : total, 918,

Geneeal. Creosoted Sleepers Contract. —A contract has been let for the supply of 150,000 sleepers creosoted according to specifications. Messrs. Campbell, the contractors, have imported the necessary plant, which they are erecting near Woodend Eailway-station. They hope to begin creosoting about the Ist May. Surveys. —A preliminary survey of a railway extension from Lawrence to Eoxburgh was begun on the 15th instant, and good progress is being made. It will take fully three months to complete the whole distance—about thirty-five miles. The survey of the extension of the Seaward Bush Railway was begun on the sth January, and a distance of about 20J miles, reaching to the Mataura Eiver, has been surveyed. It is expected that the remainder, about nine miles, will take about four to six weeks. This will carry it to a point where it will meet the Edendale-Toi-tois Branch, at the Waimahaka Creek.

ANNUAL EEPOET ON EOADS, MISCELLANEOUS WOKKS, BUILDINGS, AND DEFENCE WOEKS BY THE ENGINEEE-IN-CHIEE. The Engineeb-in-Chief to the Hon. the Ministee for Public Wobks. Sir,— Public Works Office, 31st March, 1886. I have the honour to submit the following report on roads, miscellaneous works, and buildings for the year ending the 31st March, 1886. AUCKLAND DISTEICT. Great South and Onehunga Boad. —The usual repairs and maintenance of this road was attended to until the 9th February, when the Public Works Department ceased to have control over the work. Drury Creek bridge was rebuilt during the year. Cambridge-Bo torua Boad. —The maintenance of this road has been attended to. It is in fair order, and steps are being taken to keep it in good repair during the ensuing winter. The land plans (29 miles) have been completed, and were forwarded to the Suivey Department for the usual certificate in June last. Waipa-Baglan Boad. —Several of the bridges on this road have been repaired or rebuilt, and the rebuilding of one on the Waipa side of the range, which broke down lately, is in progress. Whangarei-Kawakawa Boad. —A portion of this, about seven miles from Whangarei, has been widened and improved for cart traffic, and about 28 chains of metalling have been laid. Katikati-Te Aroha Track. —Various repairs have been attended to during the year, including several bridges, some of which required rebuilding. Cambridga-Taupo Boad. —The maintenance of this road has been attended to. Katikati Boad via Thompson's Track.— -The survey of this was begun in November, and various trial lines were cut. A favourable route has been obtained, and the permanent survey is now in progress. The length is about twelve miles, extending over a high range covered with bush, and broken ground. Sundry Boads, Auckland. —Under this head repairs were executed at Point Curtis Wharf to the extent of £60; other sums in inspection and contingencies. BAY OF PLENTY. Taubanga-East Cape Eoad.—ln sections, viz.,— Whakatane-Opotiki (section 1, 3 miles). —This section has been maintained during the year, and is in a good state for wheeled traffic. W hakatane-Ohope (4 miles). —This has been maintained during the year, and is in a good state for horse traffic. Opape-Torere (7 miles). —Of this road 3| miles have been repaired and widened to 10ft. The whole is in a good state for horse traffic. Ilaivai-Maraenui (5-J- miles). —Of this a length of 3f miles have been formed Bft. wide, and the work is still in progress over the remainder. The road is not open for traffic. Maraenui-Omaio (5f miles).— This road has been maintained, and is in a good state for horse traffic. Te Kaha-Baukokore (20 miles). —This road has been maintained, and is in fair order for horse traffic. Baukokore-Whangaparawa (3-J-miles). —This section has been laid off for construction, and a contract has been let to Te Hata, the Native chief at Raukokore, for its formation. Forty chains of side-cutting have been executed. The road is not open for traffic. Te Teko-Galatea (33 miles). —The whole of this road has been re-formed and put in a state of good repair for wheeled traffic, and has since been maintained in that state. Te Telco-Matata (15 miles). —Four new bridges have been erected on this road, to replace old ones broken down, viz., one of L6ft., three of Bft., also one of 10ft. repaired, approaches made up, and general repairs executed. The road is, however, not yet in good order, and is only passable by horsemen. It will require a considerable amount of work to fit it for wheeled traffic. Matata-Te Puke (10 miles). —This has been re-formed and widened from 12ft. to 18ft. The work included 4-| miles of side-cutting, 5-| miles of level formation, and twenty-seven 12in. culverts; also one bridge 70ft. long (one span of 50ft. and two of 10ft. each) erected over the Waitahanui Eiver. To make this road fit for coach traffic it will require the erection of four more small bridges. This would complete the road from Tauranga to Matata via Te Puke (52 miles) as a coach road. Whakatane-Te Teko Swamp Boad.— Section 1, 6-|- miles : This is now being repaired and improved by Whakatane Natives, under contract. Section 2, 6f miles : This length is being repaired and improved by Te Teko Natives. Neither section is yet fit for traffic. Opotiki-Ormond Boad (93 miles). —The work of widening this road from 4ft. to Bft. wide has been going on during the year, and the road has been maintained through the forest (60 miles) by a small party of men. There remain about twenty-three miles of road to be widened to Bft., and when this is done the road will in summer be suitable for stock-driving, if fenced in precipitous places.

D.—l
Tauranga-Taupo Boad. —This road has been maintained in good order for traffic throughout the year. Two bridges (Ohaupora and Waitaua) were burnt down, and were speedily replaced, and others have been substantially repaired. Tauranga-Botorua via To Puke. —This road has been maintained in good order- for traffic during the year. A deviation has been made between Te Ngae and Eotorua Township, to avoid a swamp and shorten distance ; and the Puharinga bridge has been renewed. Botorua-Tarawera Boad. —This has been kept in good order. It was damaged by a heavy flood in April. Atiamuri-Taupo and Taupo-Napier.— -This road is in a fairly good state for traffic, but it will require the renewal of several timber culverts and other works to keep it good for the future.' This work should not be lost sight of, as, since the opening of the railway to Oxford, the traffic has increased. WELLINGTON DISTEICT. Awakino Boad Bridge Contract. —This was satisfactorily completed on the 6th January, 1886. It consisted of one span of 40ft. (truss) over the Awakino Stream, about twenty miles from Masterton. MANAWATU DISTEICT. Manawatu Gorge Boad. —This has been maintained during the year, and sundry repairs done to the bridges. Works under the Eoads and Bridges Construction Act have been inspected and reported on for the Counties of Wairoa, Waipawa, Hawke's Bay, Hawera, Eangitikei, Oroua, and Manawatu. NELSON DISTEICT. Clarence Bridge. —This work is about one-half done. The cast-iron cylinders are all sunk and filled with concrete, and the abutments are finished. One span of 120 ft. is also erected, and the bulk of the timber is on the ground, although delay has been caused by its non-delivery in time. The work includes four spans of 120 ft. each, and one span of 60ft., besides protective works to the river banks. Wairau Cart-hridge. —The work of painting this is being put in hand. Clarence-Eaikoura Boad. —An engineering survey of this was made in the beginning of the year, viz., 17 miles, from Clarence to Hapuka. The work itself was placed in the hands of the county. Tophousr-Tarndalc Boad. —The repairs of this road are now in hand. Be/grove-Tophouse and Upper Buller Boad. —This has been well attended to, and many excellent repairs and improvements have been effected. Nalson-Lyell Boad. —A portion of this, viz., that over the Hope Saddle, very much needed improvement aiid re-grading, and a survey was made, which resulted in finding a better route and an easier grade, viz., lin 14, instead of lin 8, without sharp curves. The work of deviation was put in hand, and, it is hoped, will be finished in about a month. The metalling of about 155 chains of road over Spooner's Bange has been completed, besides sundry repairs. Sundry new culverts have been put in between Fern Flat and Lyell, besides general repairs over this portion of the road. Boad to Owen Beef. —The desired survey of this has been made—9 miles 22 chains. It is proposed to form a road suitable for sledging, Bft. wide, as a means of transporting mining machinery to the reefs, at an estimated cost of £1,300. The plans and sections are now being plotted. Main Boad from Nelson through Pclorns and Bai Valley .—The, Pelorus Bridge contract was completed in August, 1885. The Eai Saddle contract was completed in June. The completion of these works fully opened the communication between Nelson and Blenheim, and a coach occasionally runs between those places. On a portion of this road called Collins's Hill the grades are being improved from linBto 1 in 12—a work much needed. The maintenance of this road was handed over to the respective local bodies on the 24th December, 1885. Biwaka to Gollingwood Boad. —Two contracts have been let for the improvement of the road over the Takaka Eange, beginning at Eiwaka—in all, five miles. The whole length over the range is about 16-§- miles, and the survey of this will be finished in a few weeks. Another contract is in preparation for tender. Takaka Bridge Contract. —This work is not yet finished; it will take about three months yet. A contract for an approach-road to the bridge, on the Collingwood side, 2 miles 29 chains long, has been let, and should be finished in July. Matakitaki Horse-bridge Contract. —This work was completed and opened in January; it consists of five trussed spans of 60ft. each. Some further expenditure will be required for approachroads. Motueka and Motupiko Cart-bridge. —Surveys have been made of alternative sites, and plans prepared for the upper site, as being most convenient and on the line of the main road. Tenders will shortly be called for its construction. It will include eleven spans of 60ft. each and six spans of 24ft. each, with approaches and protective groins. Eve's Valley Boad Contract (1 mile 4 chains). —This provides a road up from the head of the valley to the top of the range, with an improved grade of 1 in 12 instead of 1 in 7, as on the old track. The time for its completion is next July. VAEIOUS EOADS AND TEACKS, Etc., MAELBOBOUGH. Torea Creek Contract. —This is for the construction of a bridle-track, Queen Charlotte Sound, from Torea Bay to the summit of the hill leading to Portage Bay, 52 chains.

Taylor's Biver Survey. —A survey has been made by the Public Works Department for the Blenheim Borough Council, and at their cost, to ascertain the practicability of diverting the river from its present uncertain channel into a permanent one. WESTLAND DISTEICT. Nelson-Westport Road. —A survey (plan and sections) is being made of a portion of this, with a view to its improvement, viz., from what is called the Nine-Mile Ferry, on the Buller, to the Inangahua Junction, about twenty miles. About twelve miles of this survey have been completed. Westport-Reefton Road. —Plans have been prepared for a bridge over the Inangahua left-hand branch, called also the Waitahu, about four miles from Reef ton, and tenders are being called for the work of erection. It will consist of four spans of 80ft. each and six spans of 30ft. each, as well as protective w rorks of considerable extent. Westport-Lyell Road. —Surveys have been made of the site of a proposed bridge over the Buller River a short distance below the Lyell, where the river is comparatively narrow, with rocky banks. The floods here rise to a great height, over 40ft., and the water-way will be about 320 ft. wide. The designs for the bridge are now being prepared, and will demand great consideration, from the nature of the site. Cheistchukch-Hokitika Road. The maintenance of this has been executed as usual during the year : no extraordinary slips or flood-damage has occurred. A further length of 5f miles has recently been added to the length maintained by Government. This was formerly maintained by the Westland County. In this section the Waimea Creek bridge was carried away by a heavy flood, and is being replaced as rapidly as possible. The Taipo bridge is well advanced : all the cylinder piers are fixed, and the timber for the superstructure is being prepared for erection. It is expected to be finished about the beginning of June.. The work consists of four spans of 110 ft. each, with heavy earthwork and rockwork approaches. Roads to open up Lands befoee Sale. Ahaura-Kopara (6 miles 35 chains). —This work was satisfactorily completed in July; it is metalled 4ft. wide, and is a good track for horses.

Mohikinui to Karamea via Rough-and-Tvmibla. —Thirteen miles of a survey of this road have been completed, leaving about six miles to survey. Of this road 2 miles 50 chains were completed under contract in December last; a further section o£ 1 mile 15 chains has been let, and is progressing satisfactorily. The plans and sections of the rest of the road will, as they are completed, from time to time, be handed over to the Buller County Council, who will carry out the work. Designs are being prepared for a bridge over the Mohikinui River, 210 ft. clear span, with the view of calling for tenders after another vote has been taken for this road. Brighton to Seventeen-Mile Beach via Terraces. —The plans prepared by this department for this work were handed over to the county (Grey), and the work is now being carried out by the Council. The plans of that portion of the road lying within the Buller County will, when completed, be handed to the County Council. Gobden to Seventeen-Mile Beach. —A contract has been let for widening a portion of this road— 1 mile 35 chains—in the Coal Creek Valley into a dray-road, and the work is now progressing ; the completion of this will make the road from Cobden to Seven-Mile Creek (north of Point Elizabeth) available for light dray traffic. Watek-baces. Argyle Race, Charleston. —Reports have been supplied by the department on the works of extension in progress on this race, the works on which are in charge of the Buller County Council. Mikonui Bace. —Contract No. 71, being 50 chains of the long tunnel, was completed in July last; although driven in rock, it had all to be timbered.

These damages have been made good, and no further complaints have been made as to any farther subsidence; as a precaution against which measures are now being taken to thoroughly dram the ground where the subsidence took place. The long dry summer produced apprehensions that the watersupply might fail; measures were taken to avert this, and two additional sources of supply were utilized the largest from the Omimi Creek, at an elevation sufficient to command the present reservoir. The supply now seems ample, but it may be worth while to build another storage reservoir, to guard against any possibility of a want of water in the future. DEFENCES. These works have been planned by the military officers, on surveys made by this department; but the contracts have been prepared and the works have been carried out under the immediate supervision of the Public Works Department, directed by the military officers.

ANNUAL EEPOET ON LIGHTHOUSE WOEKS, ETC., BY THE MAEINE ENGINEEE.
The Marine Engineer to the Secretary, Marine Department. Sir, — Marine Department, 31st March, 1886. 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 on other works during the year, viz. : — Light on Cuvier Island. —An order for the lantern and lighting apparatus for this lighthouse has been sent to England for execution. cmoval of Snags and Bocks from the Mokau River. —The amount voted for this work has been expended with a good result for a distance of twenty-seven miles from the mouth of the river. The work has been carried out with the view of securing a channel 35ft. to 40ft. wide, and 7ft. deep at low-water spring-tides ; but this depth has not been attained, there being places yet where only 3-Jft., 4ft., and sft. of water can be found. Jackson's Head Beacon. —This is now being erected in the shape of a circular tower of solid concrete, and the work has progressed to a height of about 12ft. from the foundation-level, which corresponds nearly with the low-water line. The height of the tower will be 38ft., but the lateness of the season will prevent the whole of this being completed; enough, however, will be built to serve the purpose of a beacon meanwhile, and the remainder will be finished next summer. Kaipara Harbour. —Some changes in the soundings in the channels and on the bar pointed to the necessity for a new survey : this is now being carried out, and a new chart will be prepared containing all the necessary information. Nelson Harbour. —During a visit to Nelson in February I made a survey of the changes in the direction of the channel of the Waimea Eiver, and the results of the survey will be described in a separate report. I have, &c, John Blackett, The Secretary, Marine Department. Marine Engineer.

Enclosure 4 in Appendix H. WANGANUI RIVER: CLEARING AND SNAGGING (BEPORT ON).
Disteict Engineer to the Engineer-in-Chief. Public Works Office, Wanganui, 11th December, 1885. I forward notes taken when coming down the Wanganui Biver from Taumaranui, where the North Island Main Trunk Line approaches the Wanganui Eiver, in end of October and beginning of November, 1885. General Note. —ln regard to the following notes : — The course being down river, where, in describing positions, the right is mentioned, it refers to proper right bank of river, and similarly in regard to left. The Native kaingas mentioned are many of them old and abandoned settlements. The water-level of river at the time was said to be about one foot above what is known as the " low level." The character of the Wanganui Eiver — generally that of well defined banks, not much liable to scour or widen out—is what renders it of a promising nature as to adaptability to suitable lightdraft navigation. This character is in contrast to such rivers as the Manawatu in its upper course above Ngawhakarau, which is by the river about forty miles above Foxton, and the Eangitikei from a few miles from the sea, both which rivers widen out, wash away their banks from time to time, and spread their channels over wide shingle beds. In the Wanganui Eiver this stable, defined character of channel is more especially the case in the portion from about fifty-seven miles above Wanganui to 123 miles above Wanganui, where the character of the river between the distances mentioned is that of a course confined between well defined banks or faces of papa rock on both sides. (Sketches Ito 6 attached will give some idea of appearance of this portion of river.) The banks, however, on the lower course from Wanganui up to the fifty-seven miles are also well defined, and do not alter much, and still give to the river the definite character referred to as favourable to navigation. For about eight miles below the junction of the Eiver Ongaruhe, near Taumaranui, to Taumaranui, about 136 miles above Wanganui, the character of the river is not so favourable, although the banks here are also generally fairly defined ; and this portion will be more difficult, and take more work to improve it. A good dray road could, it is said, be got from Taumaranui for eight miles down the Wanganui River; but, as this would break the water carriage, it would be preferable to give more attention and work to improving this portion of the river also for a suitable light-draft navigation. The numbers of the rapids coming downwards from Taumaranui are shown on the tracing in blue figures giving approximate position. Where no work is mentioned in the notes to be done at a rapid, it means that none appeared to be required, although possibly on more detailed examination some might be found necessary. Although the list of rapids appears formidable (200 between Taumaranui and Atene), yet it will be observed that many of them are easy and many noted as requiring no work in clearing. There is, however, a very large amount of work to be done in those requiring clearing and improving. Between the rapids there are good reaches requiring no work and easily navigated, so that the length occupied by the rapids bears but a small proportion to the total length of the river between Wanganui and Taumaranui. In the state of the river at this time—viz., as said to be about one foot above " low level," the greatest speed of current observed in the rapids was a little over six miles per hour. There are several rapids with approximately this speed, and a speed of current of four to four and a half miles per hour occurs more frequently in others. i—D. 1.

With this speed in the rapids, ami in many of them bends in direction more or less sharp, the navigation will obviously have some difficulties to contend with and to overcome. After the general clearing and snagging of a passable channel is done there will be a question of maintenance of the clear channel owing to probable occasional lodgement of snags, and it may be in some cases alteration of channel after heavy floods. However, when the present snags, boulders, &c, which have evidently lain in the channels for a very long time, have been removed, the maintenance should not be so heavy a matter, provided prompt attention is given to removal of drift and snags that may from time to time lodge in the channels, before they have time to act as a nucleus for gathering further drift. 129 miles above Upokongaro ; 136 miles above Wanganui : 29th October, 1885, started from Taumaranui, the canoe being in the Ongaruhe Eiver, a short way above the junction of that river with the Wanganui. The most suitable landing place for traffic here would appear to be in the Ongaruhe, on its left bank. Between this and the junction of the two rivers there is one rapid in the Ongaruhe, but not a difficult one. Went down the Ongaruhe to the junction and entered the Wanganui Eiver. Two snags to remove just below the junction. Eapid No. 1: A number of snags to move; a good deal of work here. Eapid No. 2 : Some snags to move, and large stones to move all across. Eapid No. 3:At a papa bluff on left bank; no snags, but pick up some stones. Eapid No. 4 : Swift run, straight; not much work. Eapid No. 5 : Snags to move on right bank. Eapid No. 6: At bend of river to left, papa rock on right in shelves. Some stones to move; some snags just below rapid : not a difficult rapid. Eapid No. 7 : Straight run; little work to be done. Eapid No. 8: At bend to right rocks and large boulders to move; channel on left bank. Some more stones to move just below rapid; some of these want blasting as too large to lift. Eapid No. 9: On bend to right; channel on left bank; large stones to move; plenty of water; very swift run. Tried speed of current with patent log, and found four miles per hour in upper part of rapid. Eapid No. 10 : Pretty straight; some big stones to pick up, and some rocks to blast. Eapid No. 11: Channel to right; not much work required ; papa rock on right. This is a long rapid just above Waitapu Creek, which joins on the right; below the creek bold bank on right of stratified papa, dipping to westward ; good reach below this, with bold bank and channel on right; sharp turn to left. Eapid No. 12 : Eapid at sharp turn; clear; not much work; very swift run, and difficult on account of sharp bends. Speed of current by patent log, 4 miles an hour; some big stones to move; papa on both sides; in lower part might be improved by cutting off point at A, but this would involve a good deal of work. Some stones to move in the reach below. See diagram No. 1. Eapid No. 13 : Large boulders on right; stones to take out of channel, also some snags. Channel to left very swift. Current runs 4$ to 5 miles per hour; bad turns; might be improved by moving the large stones at A, involving a good deal of work. See diagram No. 2. Eapid No. 14 : Straight run ; some stones to move, and three large boulders. There is a considerable current for about ten chains below this rapid, with some large boulders to clear out. 123-J- miles above Upokongaro ; 130£ miles above Wanganui ; 5J miles below Taumaranui : Eapid No. 15 : Straight run ; not bad; some stones to move; Makokomiko, a stream, joins on left bank; river good for some distance below this. Ikamutu Stream to left. Eapid No. 16 : Straight run; a long rapid; probably require some stones moved out of channel; at foot of rapid river turns to right. Eapid No. 17 : At bend easy run ; not requiring work. General Note. —On these rapids, from starting-point, the least depth observed in present state of river was 2ft. 6in., the river being said to be about lft. over low level or state, occurring probably for six to eight weeks in summer or autumn. Eapid No. 18 : Straight run ; a good many boulders to move in lower part of rapid; below this a good reach; stratified papa seams on right bank; dipping westwards at slight incline, say 1 in 10. Eapid No. 19 : Quick run, but straight and clear, not requiring work ; would be shallow in low level of water. 121 miles above Upokongaro ; 128 miles above Wanganui; 8 miles below Ongaruhe Junction at Taumaranui: Eapids Nos. 20 and 21: Omaka, about eight miles from Taumaranui, sharp turn to right, high hill on left, and a round detached fern hill on left, just below rapid ; a shelf of papa rock on left confines the channel. This is a long difficult rapid, and turns to left at foot of the first run ; some stones to move ; another turn to right at foot of second run, with some boulders to clear. This rapid is about 8 chains or 10 chains long, with several turns, and may be said to consist of several runs in close succession.

General Note. —For the eight miles above this to Taumaranui the river is of a more open character, and consequently more spread in the channels, rendering the navigation more difficult and uncertain than further down the river. Eapid No. 22 : Straight, but some large boulders to clear. 120 miles above Upohongaro ; 127 miles above Wanganui; 9 miles below Ongaruhe Junction at Taumaranui : Eapid No. 23: Te Whakarae turns to left, the channel is to right, with swift run, and not straight, but a good deal of water; papa shelf on right. Eapid No. 24 : Straight a short way below No. 23; some stones to move. Eapid No. 25 : Above a turn to right not a bad rapid; straight and clear. Eapid No. 26 : Straight run, short and clear. Eapid No. 27 : Straight and clear; may be shallow in low level of river. Eapid No. 28 : A long rapid, but not very quick, and good water. Some large boulders to clear on right side of channel and some stones to move in parts; a stream to left. 118 miles above Upohongaro; 125 miles above Wanganui; 11 miles below Taumaranui: Good reach ; river about 100 ft. wide. The stratified layers of papa continue on right bank. Eapid No. 29 : Straight run, little work required. Eapid No. 30 : Straight run, and clear. Eapid No. 31: Straight run; a large boulder to clear, and some stones; good water; below this the river turns to right with a good reach, the stratified papa cliffs showing on left bank. 117 miles above Upokongaro; 124 miles above Wanganui; 12 miles below Taumaranui: Eapids Nos. 32, 33, and 34: Matawhero—this is a long difficult rapid, or rather several successive runs with several turns. No. 32 quick run, but clear shingle island to left of channel. No. 33 is close below No. 32, and is a quick run, with easy turn to left; a long run, with some stones to clear; some large boulders to clear in bend below where it turns to right. These boulders, and some of those previously noted in other rapids, will require blasting as too large to lift. No. 34, some boulders to clear, but good direction of run. Otnnui, a stream to right, falls over a papa shelf. Eapid No. 35 : Quick run, and turn to left; some stones to move. Eapid No. 36 : Strong run, but clear; no work required; a papa shelf both on the right and on the left bank.

11l miles above Upokongaro; 118 miles above Wanganui ; 18 miles below Taumaranui : Eapid No 52 : Paparoa—a difficult rapid current, very swift, and channel narrow. An island of large, loose rocks divides the river into two channels, that on the right bank being the one used for navigation. This channel runs against a rocky ledge. There is a large snag at bottom of the narrow run to move, and also a piece of the rocky point at B, say 10ft. wide, to blast and cut off to straighten the run somewhat. The rock is hard, with embedded shells ; there are also some rocks to clear out of side of channel. Two strong ring-bolts let into the rocky shelf on right bank might assist in warping up this pinch if found necessary. By patent log tried current in channel, and found speed to be six miles per hour. Some widening by moving rocks at A would also improve, but might be left for the present. The channel between island and the rocky lodge is about 30ft. to 50ft. in width. There is considerable current for some way below this rapid, but clear. Nuku Nuku, a Native kainga, on right bank, with willows and fruit-trees. See diagram No. 3. Eapid No. 53 : Quick run ; channel on left; some papa rock in bottom might with advantage be removed. Rapid No. 54 : Short rapid run ; channel on right; some timber to clear out on right side. Eapid No. 55 : Quick run, but clear channel on right; a rock to clear in channel. Okeria, a Native kainga, on left. Eapid No. 56: Short and swift run ; some timber to move on left. Eapid No. 57 : Fair course ; some snags and timber to move ; good reach ; Pakapiopio, a flat rock in river, but a good channel to right. This might be found a good site for a roadbridge if nature of adjoining country suited. Te Ohu, a stream, to left. Eapid No. 58: Moderate run ; good channel. Eapid No. 59: Moderate run ; good channel; flat reef on left. Te Euawhakaunga, a stream, to left. Eapid No. 60 : Channel on left; some rock to move; not much work ; river about 2 chains wide.

Eapid No. 69 : A long rapid channel on left against papa ; face clear ; no work required. Kokakariki, double waterfall, on left over papa ledges; good reach. Eapid No. 70 : Short run ; one large snag to move. Eapid No. 71: Easy run ; no work required. Note. —Good still reaches prevail between the rapids here, and this may be said of the river in general in great part. 105 miles above Upokongaro ; 112 miles above Wangamd ; 24 miles below Taumaranui : Eapid No. 72 : Te Puha, a long rapid channel, on left ; channel clear; one snag to move. Eapid No. 73 : Moderate run ; straight; clear. Eapid No. 74 : Short swift run ; channel to right against papa ; clear ; a shingle bed on left. Eapid No. 75 : Swift run ; clear channel on right bank. 103^ miles above Upokongaro ; 110J miles above Wanganui ; 25^ miles below Taumaranui : Kakahi Stream and waterfall on right falls over papa. Eapid No. 76 : Short run, and rather swift; but clear. Tapara, a stream, to left. Eapid No. 77 : Moderate run and clear. Eapid No. 78 : Moderate run ; no work required ; good reach.

88 miles above Upokongaro; 95 viiles above Wanganui; 41 miles below Taumaranui : Eapid No. 110: Taurapokiore—a large slip on left bank came down here about five years ago, according to the Natives, and this has confined the river channel. The whole hill side from a great height seems to have slipped, with large masses of rock, soil, and boulders. This has caused a swift and difficult rapid. To improve, take boulders out to line AA, depositing them behind this line on left bank; or, if practicable, and work affords to line 88, but probably line AA is all that can now be attempted. This will give a straight channel with good water, but rapid run. The river turns to the right below the rapid with a deep place on left against a papa face. This will be a heavy piece of work. Three ring-bolts, fixed in papa face on right bank, would give facility for using warps if required. There is said to be a heavy surf just below the rapid in floods, rendering it dangerous to canoes, but not probably to any vessel used for stoam navigation. Measured current at X with patent log and got six miles per hour surface current. See diagram No. 4. Eapid No. 11l (a short way below 110): This rapid is caused by stuff which has been carried down in floods from the slip mentioned and deposited in river-bed; two snags to move, and probably some large stones to move out of the channel; good reach, about 120 ft. wide ; bold papa faces both sides; a snag to move in channel. Taireaka, Native kainga, on right. Kohaumia, a stream, on right, just below the kainga. Eapid No. 112 : Swift run ; channel to right against papa face, but clear; no work required ; a snag below rapid to move; good reach. Amate, a stream, on the left. Eapid 113 Earatu —clear, but shallow, and wide. Note. —There is more drift timber now in places lodged .against the river banks than was observed higher up the river. Eapid No. 114: Easy run, straight and clear; good reach; bold papa faces on both sides; river about 100 ft. wide. 85 J miles above Upokongaro ; 92 J miles above Wanganui ; 43-J- miles below Taumaranui: Eapid No. 115 : Tautara Kapua—swift run ; a few snags on left to move ; current runs quickly for some way down ; some snags to move in reach below.

Eapid No. 120 (a few chains below 119) : A small waterfall on right; no work required. Eapid No. 121 : Easy run ; river bending to left; a snag a short way below to move ; opposite small stream on right. 82-J miles above Upokongaro; 89f miles above Wanganui ; 46J miles below Taumaranui: Eapid No. 122 : Auroa—swift run against papa bank ; channel curves to left; several snags to move on right. Eapid No. 123 : Moderate run, with curve to right; some snags at upper end to move. Eapid No. 124 : Swift run, with curve to right; some snags to move ; the run continues some way below ; good reach; small waterfall on left bank. Eapid No. 125: Short run; some snags to move; good reach, with bold papa faces both sides, and good still water ; small waterfall to left and another to right. Note. —The streams falling into river have cut deep into papa rock here, while some distance back up river they have the opposite effect of throwing out buttresses, or rather of preserving the wearing away of the papa ; probably owing in that part of river to some substance, perhaps lime, being held in solution in the water of the stream, and which has a hardening effect on the surface of the papa, where the stream falls over it. Eapid No. 126 : Moderate run; some boulders to move at upper end, and some snags; curved to left; streams and small waterfall on right bank ; good reach. 81 miles above Upokongaro ; 88 miles above Wanganui ; 48 miles below Taumaranui : Eapid No. 127 : Moderate run ; snag in centre to movo ; papa shelf on left; good reach; stream on right.

Below Parakino down to Eaurikia (8 miles above Upokongaro ; 15 miles above Wanganui; 121 miles below Taumaranui) a former snagging party were at work last year; the channel is fairly good as far as Kennedy's. 7 miles above Wanganui; 129 miles below Taumaranui : Upokongaro, and also from there on to Wanganui (136 miles below Taumaranui). When the present snagging operations were started the river was reported clear for traffic up to Parekino, so that the work was commenced at' Parekino and continued on upwards; but although there is a passable channel up as far as Parekino, yet in the distance between Parekino and Wanganui, some snags about eighteen miles above Wanganui, and some in the reach opposite the quarries ; and a few sundry snags here and there in different places, would be better of being removed, as in this part of the river it is desirable that the channel should be more opeii and clear, and wider than can be attempted in the upper course of the river, above Parekino, and it would be advisable to have this part gone over, as the cost would not be great; but it is not desirable to detach either of the two parties now up river for this purpose, as it is important to proceed with the upper work.

ANNUAL REPORT ON WORKING RAILWAYS.
The General Managee, Now Zealand Eailways, to the Hon. the Ministee for Public "Woeks. SlE,— I have the honour to report upon the opened railways for the financial year ending the 31st March, 1886. There were 1,613 miles open at tho end of the year, including 77 miles of line built by the District Railway Companies. Of these latter, the Ashburton Forks, Duntroon and Waimate lines, 46 miles in length, were previously worked by the Government on behalf of the companies, and arrangements having been recently made for their purchase as from the Ist April, 1885, the working accounts have been now incorporated with the annual accounts for the New Zealand railways. The Eotorua District Eailway was taken over and opened for traffic between Morrinsville and Oxford, 31 miles, on the Bth March, 1886, and is worked as a part of the Auckland Section. The length of lines open at the end of the year, including these recent purchases, was 137 miles in excess of the Government lines open in the previous year. Particulars of the lengths opened will be found in Return No. 19. Seventeen new stations have been opened. The lines have paid £2 17s. 3d. per cent, on the cost of the opened portions, and £2 12s. per cent, on the gross outlay on opened and unopened. Comparative rates of interest paid for the past four years are shown in Return No. 6. The highest rate is paid by the Greymouth Section, £5 9s. 3d. per cent., and the next highest by the Napier Section, £4 18s. 9d. The lines Morrinsville to Te Aroha and to Oxford, 12|- and 30£ miles respectively, opened in the early part of March, were too late in the year to materially affect the revenue or profits on the Auckland Section, and the cost of the opened lines there thus appears high in proportion to the net revenue realized, and the rate of interest appears relatively low. According to the terms of purchase of the District Eailways, there will be a sum of about £2,768 in rates on land, which will be a contribution towards the payment of interest on their cost. The proportion of expenses to revenue is 65-91, as against 65-99 for the previous year. The most marked improvement in the proportion of expenses to revenue is on the Kawakawa Section; the next in order in this respect is the Wellington Section. The traffic has on the whole increased moderately, but shows a decrease under certain heads in some parts of the colony. The passenger traffic has increased under all three heads of first-class, second-class, and seasonticket travellers. This increase has chiefly occurred in Auckland, Napier, "Wellington, Greymouth, and Westport. In other parts of the colony the growth is but small. A large number of cheap excursion trains have been run in various parts of the colony during the year; 47,836 passengers have been carried, giving a gross receipt of £6,184. The great depression in prices of grain has checked the production of, and the traffic in, agricultural produce; the commercial depression arising from the fall of prices of this and other local productions has greatly affected the railway business and revenue in many respects, directly and indirectly. A comparative statement of the cost of working is shown in the table next following, which should be considered in connection with table of traffic and revenue below :—

It will be observed that the agricultural produce traffic has remained stationary. The diminished area of land under grain-crop in the Middle Island during last season must lead to a diminished traffic and revenue under this head for the current year. The live-stock traffic in all parts of the colony shows a rapid growth ; and there is every reason to expect that it will continue to increase. Hurunui-Bluff shows the greatest growth in this class of traffic ; Auckland, Wellington, and Wanganui follow next in order. A large increase in the wool traffic has occurred almost exclusively on the Napier and Hurunui-Bluff Sections. The general merchandise traffic shows an increase on the Auckland, Napier, and Wanganui Sections, but a marked decrease on the Wellington and Hurunui-Bluff. The timber traffic has increased very largely on the Napier Section, and in a less degree on Auckland, Wellington, and Wanganui, but is practically stationary on the Hurunui-Bluff. The traffic in native brown coals has decreased on the Hurunui-Bluff Section notwithstanding reduced rates for carriage, the West Coast and Newcastle coals being apparently preferred by the public. On the Auckland Section it has slightly increased. On the Greymouth and Westport Sections the mineral traffic has increased largely. During the past two years large reductions have been made in railway rates, chiefly affecting local productions of various kinds, as agricultural produce, agricultural lime, native coals, timber for export, sheep and pigs, agricultural implements, cheese and milk, grass seed, flax, &c, and in passenger fares and others. Particulars of these alterations will be found in the table No. 32. While, therefore, the traffic has grown, there has not been a corresponding increase in the gross revenue. By the exercise of economy, however, and owing to the great improvement in the conditions of the lines made and the better appliances for working available, during the past five years the expenses have been kept down, so that the net revenue for the year is £357,078, against- £355,685 for the previous year. The lines and rolling-stock have been maintained in good order, and in many respects have been improved. There have been no serious mishaps during the year, but it is as well to bear in mind that the railway over the Taieri Plain is liable to damage at present, which may seriously affect both the revenue and expenditure. In Auckland the new passenger-station building and yard have been opened, with great advantage to the public and the department. The goods-station re-arrangement is now being completed. At Wellington the passenger-station removal has been completed, and the re-arrangement of the goods-yard nearly so. Increased workshop accommodation and machinery have been found necessary at Dunedin, Invercargill, Napier, Wanganui, and Wellington, and have been provided for. The construction of carriage and wagon stock in the colony has been successfully carried on in the various shops. A contract for building ten locomotives in the colony has been let to a Christchurch firm, and is now being executed. Colonial-made lubricating oil has been introduced as an experiment for the rolling-stock, and its use, so far, promises to be economical. The ticket-accounting, formerly done by the Audit Department, is now conducted by the Eailway Accountant, and the Audit Department has ceased to audit the receipts of railway revenue, the audit and inspection conducted by the Eailway Department being considered complete and efficient. It is desirable to bear in mind the need for restricting the increase in the numbers of level crossings, and for increased care in their location and dimensions. It would be well that the public, as proprietors and users of the railways, should be alive to the important bearing these features have on the general safety of life and property on the railways. It is also desirable to continue to bear in mind the need to restrict the stations and stoppingplaces on the score of public safety, convenience, and economy. Too many stations make the line more unsafe and expensive to work, and less convenient to the general public, without giving any adequate return of revenue. It often happens that demands are made which, if complied with, would sacrifice the convenience of extensive districts for comparatively insignificant local advantages. It is desirable that the public should recognize that, in the general interest, many of these demands should not be agreed to. The usual tables are attached, giving the details of traffic, revenue, and other statistical information. The conduct of the staff has been satisfactory, and organization for working is, as a rule, very complete and satisfactory. J. P. Maxwell, Wellington, 13th May, 1886. General Manager.
