WORKING RAILWAYS STATEMENT, BY THE HON. THE MINISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS, 8th JUNE, 1887.

Laid on the Table by Son. Mr. Richardson, with Leave of the Souse.

[EXTKACT FBOM GENBKAL MaXAGEB'S Rf.PORT ON WORKING RAILWAYS.] Total length of line open at end of year .... .... .... 1,727 miles. There have been opened during year .... .... .... 114 ~ The net revenue on opened lines for year .... £2 6s. per cent, on their total cost.

I am not going to follow the report all through, but owing to statements which have been made both in and out of the House that little, if any, savings have been effected on the management of the railways, it is only fair to the Government and the department to point out that the report shows that during the past three years a saving has been effected—taking as a basis a mileage-rate on length of railways open —at the rate of fully £100,000 per annum, without reducing wages or salaries. I quote a portion of the tables : —

This shows that the adverse criticisms which have been made in this House to the effect that the statements made that the savings referred to by the Hon. Colonial Treasurer in his Financial Statement are owing to lessening of traffic, are incorrect, for it will be seen that— Total receipts for 1884-85 amount to .... £1,045,712 Total expenditure .... .... £690,026 Total tonnage carried .... .... .... 1,749,856 tons; While total receipts for year 1886-87 amount to £998,768 Total expenditure .... .... .... £699,072 T)tal tonnage carried .... .... .... 1,747,754 tons. The tonnage carried and the expenditure for the two periods being practically the same, and the difference in receipts, say £50,000, being mainly owing to reductions made in rates for local production. The report further shows that during this same period, while the expenditure has only increased by £9,046 on the past year over that for 1884-85, we have opened, maintained, and worked the traffic on an additional 250 miles of railway, with fifty-three new stations. As regards the estimates for the current year, it has been stated that the -expectation of the Government cannot be realized.

I am glad to be able to state that, so far as we have gone, we have good reason to be satisfied. For the first four weeks the gross earnings were £7,133 more than for a period of one day less than that of last year, which would, for purposes of comparison, be equal to an improvement of nearly £10,000; while, at the same time, the expenses were only increased by £86, again showing that the expenditure does not, as has been stated by some, increase with the increase of traffic, the fact being that our present train services will permit of a still larger increase of traffic without much increase of expenditure.

ANNUAL EEPOET ON WORKING RAILWAYS.

ANNUAL EEPOET ON WOEKING EAILWAYS.

The General Managee, New Zealand Railways, to the Hon. the Minister for Public Works. Sir,— I have the honour to report upon the opened railways for the financial year ending the 31st March, 1887. The length of line opened at the end of the year was 1,727 miles. The Waimea Plains Railway was taken over to be worked by the Government on the 14th November, 1886. According to the terms of purchase the line was deemed to have become the property of the colony from the Ist April, 1886, and the revenue and expenditure of the company from that date to the 13th November, 1886, have been incorporated in the annual accounts. The total length of railway opened during the year, including the Waimea line, was 114 miles. Thirty-six new stations have been added. The net revenue earned represents £2 6s. per cent, on the estimated cost of the opened lines. The highest rate is paid by the Greymouth line, £5 10s. 2d. per cent.; and the next highest by the Westport line, £4 16s. Bd. per cent. The traffic under the heads of passengers, parcels, live stock, wool, and minerals has increased, while that of timber, grain, and merchandise has decreased. It is to be regretted that the extensive reductions in the rates which have been carried out should have been followed by a falling-off in the imports of merchandise, diminishing the most profitable railway traffic, and that the much smaller production of grain, due to the low market prices, and the lessened demand for timber, due to the cessation of building and settlement, should have occurred at the same time. The grain-traffic loss has been superseded by an increased traffic in live stock; but, the low rates at which the latter traffic and that of minerals is necessarily carried, do not return a revenue at all equal to that lost oil the classes of traffic which have fallen off. The traffic was greatly affected during the early part of the year by the heavy and continuous floods in the South. A fire in Dunedin caused the loss of a goods-shed, and heavy losses in claims and expenses. Following are the comparative tables of traffic and expenses :—

Comparison of Traffic and Revenue for Eight Years.

The number of passengers has slightly fallen on the Auckland Section, but the revenue from them has increased; the numbers have increased chiefly on the Napier, Wellington, and Wanganui Sections. The live-stock traffic has increased on the Wanganui, Napier, and Hurunui—Bluff Sections. Live stock, chaff, firewood, timber, mineral, and merchandise traffic has fallen off on the Auckland Section, owing to the commercial inactivity prevailing in the district. The agricultural produce alone shows an increase : this traffic is chiefly carried from Auckland inland by rail. The rates also being lower the loss of goods revenue is large, amounting to £12,344. The cessation of the large outlay on works between Morrinsville, Lichfield, and Te Aroha towards the close of the previous year tends to make the comparison unfavourable. The traffic on the Napier and Wellington Sections has been stimulated by the outlay on ■extensions; on the Hurunui-Bluff Section the diminishing expenditure upon extensions has tended to lessen the general traffic. The wool traffic has increased very largely on the Napier, Wellington, Wanganui, and Huru-nui-Bluff Sections. During the year exceptionally heavy floods did much damage north of Christchurch, at Addington, between Oamaru and the Bluff, and on the Little River and Otautau branches: such heavy floods have not occurred since 1879. Great damage occurred at the Taieri, causing a suspension of the traffic, loss of revenue, and a heavy outlay on repairs.

The railway at the Taieri is still liable to serious damage and suspension of traffic from floods r which it is desirable to take steps to avert. Careful attention has been given by the local officers to economy in every department, and the gradual improvement of the works and appliances in former years has admitted of saving. An increased expense must be expected in permanent-way repairs and on structures, and in general repairs for locomotives and rolling-stock in the future. An agreement has been entered into with the Wellington and Manawatu Eailway Company for' interchange of traffic with the Government lines. The opening of this line, while it has in some respects diminished the traffic on the Wanganui Section, has on the whole given it a stimulus; and it has also benefited the Napier passenger traffic probably to a greater degree than it has injured the Wellington traffic. Apart from the great public convenience to the districts concerned, thisrailway therefore brings direct advantages in the shape of revenue to the Government lines. There seems every prospect that the coming year will show a greater traffic than any preceding year, while there is no reason to expect any large or sudden increase in expenses, provided no serious casualties occur. With the largely-reduced rates and fares now in operation, and the extension of the lines in many parts into unsettled districts, it must be anticipated that the proportion of the expenses to the revenue will not bo so low on the average as it has been in former years,. but an improvement on the results of the past year may be expected. The alterations in rates made timing the year are shown in Beturn No. 31. They are almost entirely in the direction of facilitating traffic in local products, and have been made to meet demands from various quarters. The work of adding to the stations and appliances lias been carried on to meet local needs as rapidly as the funds at disposal have permitted. Many improvements have been made for facilitating traffic and for public convenience. Extensive grade improvements have been made on the Kaipara line and between Mercer and Huntly. The station-yard improvement scheme has been continued in Auckland, and concluded for the present. Frankton Junction has been adapted to the altered train arrangements consequent on opening the lines to Te Aroha and Liclifield. The shops arrangements have been improved at Newmarket, Napier, Wanganui, Wellington, Addington, and Hillside. Station, siding, and signal improvements have been made at Farndon, Whakatu, Pukehou, Ngahauranga, Kaitoke,Cross Creek, Summit, Wellington, Normanby, Addington, Timaru, Dunback, Port Chalmers, Dunedin, Mosgiel, and numerous other smaller improvements, such as cattle- and sheep-yards, waterservices, loading-banks, &c, have been carried out in various parts of the colony. During the year 14 carriages and 356 trucks have been added to the stock ; these have been manufactured almost exclusively in the colony. Fourteen, locomotives have also been added. The locomotive-building contract under execution in Christchurch is not yet completed; it is expected to be during the current year. The Eailway Department is now performing postal and telegraph duties at 136 stations, under the supervision of the Post and Telegraph Department, the latter contributing to the expense. It is as well to note the strain put on the department to restrict expenses in many ways, while at the same time it is required to give reasonable accommodation and convenience to the public. The expenditure exceeds that of three years since by only £9,046, while in the meantime noless than fifty-three new stations and 250 miles of railway have been added to the system. The public criticism on the railway-working is sometimes very severe, but allowance is seldom made for the difficulty of satisfying all demands without exceeding the means available. There are two forces always at work : the one, operating directly on the department, through public demands upon it which tend almost exclusively either to increase expenses or to curtail revenue ; the other, operating through other channels, requiring that the strictest economy should be exercised, and that the largest possible revenue should be realized. During the past two yearsit has been necessary to curtail expenses by reducing train-mileage relatively, and to carry on an increased traffic upon a largely-extended mileage of railway without practically increasing the cost,. in order to keep the expenditure down to some extent in the proportion to the diminished revenue. While the public has acquiesced in these economies, they have necessarily been attended with a certain amount of dissatisfaction, which seems to some extent inevitable. Letters sometimes appear in the Press in strong terms complaining of traffic or accounting errors. In such a large business as the railways do, entailing from four- to five-million transactions with the public yearly, many personal errors must occur, though they are few relatively to the work. Business men, as a whole, are most tolerant of such errors. A certain proportion of persons are found in every community who prefer to write to the public Press about thteir private business,, instead of to the local district officers, whose business it is to deal with them. Similar complaints of private companies would not be written to the Press as a rule. Such complaints give erroneousimpressions to the general public. Another class of complaint arises from people wanting personal rates or other private favour at the public expense, which cannot equitably be granted, and which no private railway company,. working under the usual legal restrictions imposed on companies in most countries, would allow. Such complaints are often very misleading to the public, and there are always sure to be plenty of this nature; but it should not therefore be inferred that the Eailway Department is to blame. As increased outlay in renewals of the lines and stock, due to increased age, must certainly be expected, stringent economy is obviously necessary wherever possible ; and, as increased facilities have been afforded by reduced rates and fares, a reasonable allowance should be made for the absence of luxuries, which are or. y obtainable by increased expense. I have, &c, ,T. P. Maxwell, M. Inst. C.E., 14th May, 1887. General Manager, New Zealand Railways.
