1892 NEW ZEALAND

ANNUAL REPORT ON WORKING RAILWAYS BY THE NEW ZEALAND RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS.

Presented to Parliament in pursuance of " The Government Railways Act, 1887 "

To the Hon. the Minister for Public Works. N.Z Government Eailways, Head Office, Sir,— Wellington, 16th June, 1892. We have the honour, in compliance with the direction in section 61 of "The Government Eailways Act, 1887," to submit, for presentation to Parliament, the annual report on the working railways of New Zealand for the twelve months ended the 31st March, 1892 Eevenue, Expenses, and Traffic. The returns of traffic, revenue, and expenditure of the various sections of railways are presented in the same tabular form as in the annual reports of previous years. The outcome of the year's work is as follows :— £ s. d. Gross earnings 1,115,431 10 10 Working-expenses 706,517 6 2 Net profit .. £-408,914 4 8 ' The net profit of .£408,914 on £14,656,691, which is the estimated capital cost of the 1,869 miles of railways open on the 31st March, 1892, gives a return of £2 15s. 9d. per cent. The deficiency m the harvest of 1891 caused a large diminution m the grain traffic, as predicted m our last report. There was a falhng-off m the quantity of grain carried of 86,000 tons. The growth of traffic in other ways, especially m passengers, would have more than balanced this deficiency had not the state of the Home markets and other causes brought about a diminution in freezingoperations, which has resulted in a large unforeseen falhng-off m the sheep and meat traffic While this traffic has temporarily diminished in volume, the cost of working it has at the same time increased, owing to the larger number of freezing-places, which require more rolling-stock to work them. Having regard to the special disadvantages arising from the deficient production and export of grain and meat, the revenue for the year must be regarded as satisfactory The estimated capital cost of the opened lines on 31st March, 1891, was £14,278,586. On 31st March, 1892, it was £14,656,691, an increase of £378,105. This additional capital for the most part produces no interest, having been

expended on extensions of railways which at present bring no additional traffic or revenue, while the expenses are increased by the additional length worked The estimated revenue for the year was £1,114,000, and the appropriations for working amounted to £707,905, leaving a net estimated revenue of ,£406,095, nearly £3,000 less than what has actually been realised. The passenger traffic, both m ordinary and season ticket-holders, has increased in a marked manner, although the year's statistics do not contain any Easter-holiday traffic. The passenger receipts have increased by £11,024. The traffic for the last thirteen years has been as follows : —

For the coming year the revenue is estimated at £1,140,000, and the expenses at £717,000, for 1,870 miles of line. A larger traffic and revenue are expected on account of the plentiful harvest and the general progress of the colony

Condition of Lines and Appliances. The character and capacity of the lines and appliances have, as hitherto, been improved during maintenance from working-expenses. Upon an application by the Government, we sold to the Government of Western Australia three engines and one hundred wagons. These were renewed in the usual course, and the cost has been charged to working-expenses. The" proceeds of the sale have been placed to the. credit of the working railways vote in accordance with the usual practice, and in'terms of the Eevenues Act The many improvements made from time to time m the road, structures, and appliances from working-expenses have added to the capacity of the railways, and have led to economies in working The rebuilding of locomotives has during this year for the first time been carried on upon a large scale In this process, engines of a more powerful type, and fitted with modern improvements, replace those dispensed with. The responsibilities and work in connection with this branch of the service have on this account very much increased. The funds placed at the Commissioners' disposal for the extension, of shops and machinery have been of great advantage m procuring facilities for carrying on this class of work. General. There is a general public sentiment abroad that the railways should pay a larger rate of interest on the cost of construction than is now done it should, however, be borne m mind that in making many of the lines the anticipated advantage was the settlement of the country rather than direct returns from the railways themselves. Under this somewhat vague special plea, capital has in many instances been expended by the colony on undertakings unlikely to pay any interest m the immediate future, and m some cases in ways that are prejudicial to efficient working, or which are hurtful to the revenue of the previous existing railways. The line now being made from Te Aroha to Grahamstown is a case in point. It opens up practically no new country and no new markets, it is likely to injuriously affect the present feeble revenue of the adjacent railways , it will add largely to the expenses of working Not only is no interest on the capital spent

upon it likely to be obtained, but an annual additional loss will probably be incurred by working it. The building of a goods-station at Te Aro, within a mile of the existing terminus at Wellington, if carried out, is likely to lead to inconvenience in working, and unsatisfactory financial results. When the Act for reclaiming at Te Aro was passed m 1887, a reserve for a passenger-station only was made The question of a goods-station there had been previously discussed with the professional advisers of the Government, and was negatived. The terminal goods-station at Wellington had to be located to be capable of extension, and to give future connection with the wharf-extensions. The Te Aro site of the terminus of the line does not afford adequate room for a suitable terminal goods-station, and is so limited by the Dock Eeserve and the city that it cannot be conveniently extended. The plans of the Harbour Board involve an extensive increase m wharfage north of the Queen's Wharf. The present site of the terminal goods-station at Thorndon is the only one which meets the requirements, being convenient to the city, giving ready means of access to the projected wharf-extensions, and being capable of ample extension northwards. The objection to two goods-stations dividing the traffic is that an increase m expenses throughout the line would result, without any corresponding revenue being obtained. At the same time, serious inconvenience would arise both to the railway and the city through conducting a shunting business between Thorndon and Te Aro. The Commissioners, believing that the 31st section of the Government Eailways Act makes them responsible for checking the execution of works which they think would tend to injuriously affect the railways, have advised the Government against the erection of such a station, and have submitted plans for such accommodation as they deem sufficient. Eailways connecting seaports at short distances apart, and serving only very small areas of country, are not likely to pay any interest on the cost, and in many instances are not likely to pay even the expenses of working Such a line as that from Greymouth to Hokitika, which' has been under construction for some years, is of this character The lines to Eotorua and from Te Awamutu to Mokau cannot be expected to pay working-expenses until the country they serve is occupied and is made productive All the extensions of late years, except those of the Napier-Taranaki and Wellington lines, have been of such a character as to add to the expenses without proportionately improving the revenue, so that better financial results would have been obtained without them. It is desirable to avoid extravagances in station works, and inconvenient arrangements m construction, which are expensive to work, or which may give rise to public dissatisfaction , but in many instances this has not been done. When, therefore, expressions of opinion m favour of making the railways pay a higher rate of interest on capital are given, it should be borne in mind that, while in the past capital has in many ways not been laid out with that object in view, the outlay of capital by the colony also still continues on works from which no direct return can at present be expected, and in some directions which will tend to make the financial results from working the present railways less favourable. Expenditure connected with the export of coal at Greymouth should be proceeded with cautiously, as the completion of the Midland Eailway, when effected, will divert a very large amount of traffic from the harbour, and will considerably affect the revenue of the railway, which goes to the Harbour Board. A large number of local rates and regulations have been made during the year in continuation of the policy explained in former reports : particulars of these will be found in the appendix. The diminished output of coal on the Whangarei and Kawakawa lines is such that the previously-existing very light traffic has almost ceased.

The coal-rates on the Greymouth and Westport lines have been reduced, with a view to assisting the local products to meet the severe competition of foreign coals. The most progressive traffic m the colony during the year has been that on the Napier to Taranaki Section, and, after this group, that on the Wellington Section. It may not be out of place to remark that on the whole the traffic for many years past has been more progressive on the Wellington Section than in any other part of the colony, while the progress of construction in carrying the line towards Woodville has been slower than that of any other mam line, and it is in marked contrast to that of many lines which have been pushed on m country where the absence of settlement and other drawbacks have led to no material resulting traffic or revenue. Complaints have been made regarding the inconvenient hours of the trainservices between Wellington, New Plymouth, and Napier They can be avoided by the Manawatu Company either running a passenger-service instead of a mixed one, or by the Commissioners being allowed by the company to run their trains through its line. Either of these courses would involve some disadvantage to the company, either by increasing its expenses or by diminishing its revenue. The Commissioners consequently have been unable to obtain from the company consideration of the subject. The Commissioners think that, while it is within the power of the colony to take over the railway, according to the provisions of the District Eailways Act, it is unreasonable for the public to expect the company to sacrifice its interests to provide additional accommodation. If the colony should see fit to take over the railway, it will be found quite feasible to very much improve the through-services. On the Otago Central Eailway, which has been opened to Middlemarch (forty-nine miles from Dunedin) during the year, a service of five trains each way a week is run. The traffic is at present very light, and is mainly diverted from the Dunback and Lawrence branches —a contingency pointed out m our memorandum of 20th June, 1889, which was circulated m Parliament. During the present financial year some improvement in revenue from fresh local traffic seems probable. The traffic for the year on the railways north of Dunedin has declined through the deficient harvest of 1891 and diminished freezing operations. On the lines south of Dunedin, on the whole, the traffic has much improved. Staff The question of establishing a railway employes' insurance fund has been again under discussion during the last year between the Eailway Commissioners and their employes and the Government. The Commissioners' proposals have been circulated among and discussed by the employes , several amendments have been made at the request of the employes. A draft Bill has been prepared covering these amendments, a copy of which is contained in the appendix to this report. This Bill is the subject of a petition from 1,597 employes, praying the Government to introduce it into Parliament. The petition has been duly forwarded to the Government The lines on which the Bill is drawn are of the simplest nature. It is proposed to establish a fund by contributions from the employes, to be retained by the Government at a fixed rate of interest. This will prevent the need for a costly system of management under a Board, and will avoid the risks and expenses attending investments. From this fund will be paid pensions to the disabled and aged, sick-allowance during illness, and a lump sum at death There is a pressing need for such a provision, and it is most desirable that provision should be made for the present staff of employes Many cases of distress annually occur which cannot now be relieved , and, as there are nearly sixteen hundred employes in the railway service who are desirous of making provision for themselves, we hope the Government will endeavour to give them the opportunity they desire, and bring forward this Bill at the next session of Parliament. The Commissioners have every reason to be well satisfied with the conduct and efficiency of the working railways staff during the past year

Zone-system. Touching the question of the Hungarian zone-system referred to m the last annual report, it was there pointed out that the advantage which had accompanied the zone-system —namely, the great reduction m fares—was independent of it. In reply to inquiries from the Government m November last, we drew attention to some particulars mentioned by the Minister of Finance m BudaPesth, showing that the Hungarian State Eailways, during the first six months of 1891, showed a deficiency as compared with the corresponding period in 1890, chiefly due to the great increase in expenses of working The Hungarian authorities have during the current year published an official report on the results of the zone tariff, of which we have received a copy from the AgentGeneral. It deals chiefly with comparison between the working results of the years 1888 and 1890, and is expressive of satisfaction with the results of the system, but it does not give the more recent experiences with regard to expenditure referred to by the Hungarian Finance Minister It is as yet premature to expect to get data from which final conclusions can be drawn as to the working of the system. The fares previous to the change were about the highest'in Europe, while the average earnings of the people were among the lowest The report is interesting, as giving an indication of the effect of bringing a large portion of the passenger-fares more easily within the reach of the mass of the population. The consideration of the rate of fare in such a country as Hungary, where the hours of labour and pay of unskilled workers are such that the rate of wages is not one-fourth of what it is here, is not of much value to us. Moreover, Hungary, with its population of seventeen millions, had only about one passenger journey per head of population per annum on the State railways under the zonetariff in 1890, while, computing upon the same basis, in New Zealand there are more than eight passenger journeys per head of population per annum in 1892, so that New Zealand traffic is relatively very far in advance. It should, however, be remarked that a very large percentage of the New Zealand suburban passengers are carried at lower fares than the Hungarian zone-tariff gives. Hungary, however, is only a part of the Austrian Empire, and is contiguous to other thickly-populated countries. Buda-Pesth, the chief city, with over 300,000 people, is only about 150 miles from Vienna with nearly 900,000 , and results in Hungary under these circumstances could be no guide for New Zealand. On the Hungarian railways, comparing 1888 with 1890, the number of passenger journeys increased by over eleven millions , but more than ten millions of the increase fell within the first zone (15J miles) The great reduction in fares between the first and fourteenth zones (15J miles and 140 miles) produced very little augmentation in traffic, the chief effect over these distances was to transfer the passengers from the slow trains to the fast trains. Evidently the economy gained by travelling m the cheaper slow tram was not valued. The effect of the lower fares has thus turned out to be different to what was expected. Attached hereto will be found the reports of the Locomotive Superintendent and the Chief Engineer for Working Eailways, which give additional particulars of the operations and improvements carried on m their respective departments. We have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servants, James McKerrow, J P Maxwell, W M. Hannay, Eailway Commissioners. ,

APPENDICES

APPENDIX A. Gentlemen, — Chief Engineer's Office, Wellington, 7th May, 1892. I have the honour to report on the working of the Maintenance Department of the New Zealand railways for the year ended 31st March, 1892. Extensions. —There were two extensions of railway opened during the year —namely, 6m. 18ch. of the Catlin's Eiver Branch, and 22m. 78ch. of the Otago Central line to Middlemarch. The lines throughout have been maintained in good condition. Permanent-way Neio Bails. —Eenewals of the permanent-way have been effected of an aggregate length of 36m. 44ch. During the last ten years an aggregate length of 350 miles of 531b. steel rails has been relaid in place of worn-out rails, chiefly of 401b. iron. New Sleepers. —The renewal of sleepers also shows an increase. A comparison of numbers laid during the last four years is as below : — Per Mile. In year ending 31st March, 1889 107,278 60 1890 128,418 70 1891 131,564 71 1892 .. 139,257 74 This shows a steady but not more rapid increase than is to be expected. Structures. —In effecting repairs and renewals of structures it has been the practice to renew them in a more substantial manner than as originally built. Timber culverts have been renewed in great numbers in concrete, and decayed wooden boxdrains have been replaced with concrete barrel-drains. Many cattle-stops originally built of matai timber which decayed in seven or eight years, are renewed in more permanent materials, which will be good for forty or fifty years. In the bridge-renewals the structures are made of a more permanent character Attention is given to simplifying structures wherever practicable, to reduce cost of repairs and the stocks of timber necessary to provide for emergencies. Through the treacherous ground between Palmerston South and Waitati there was great trouble from slips in the cuttings and under some of the large embankments. Extensive works have been carried out by which the water is drained out, and a great extent of unstable ground is now consolidated. In the Christchurch and Invercargill districts the liability to flood-damages was a constantlyrecurring cause of expense. This liability has been reduced by protective works. These works cost but little to maintain, and, besides protecting the railway also protect large areas of adjacent country The expenditure of former years is, by these and other similar means, largely operating in keeping down that increase of cost of maintenance due to the increasing age of lines. On the whole, the railways have increased in stability and durability and are becoming more substantial and in a better condition year by year to meet the increasing traffic. The expenditure on water-services has increased by reason of having to provide for larger engines, which take water at fewer places, but require much larger supplies. New 4,000-gallon water-tanks have been erected at Takapau and Makotuku, and windmills at Takapau and Duntroon. new steam-pump has been erected at Dannevirke, and another at Mosgiel. Station-buildings and dwelling-houses have required a great deal of work. They have been maintained in good condition. The bridges on Napier line have been strengthened to provide for heavier engines. Nine new piers were built for the Eakaia bridge, in consequence of the river scouring where old piles were not deep enough. Floods in the Pohangina Eiver threatened the flank of the embankment approaching the bridge on west side. The bank of the river has been protected with groins and willow plantations. The Eangitata protective works are standing well, ildditional willows have been planted. In February last the North Canterbury rivers were flooded, and some damage was threatened on the Pahau and Waihao. Some small protective works are designed to protect these points. The floods of February last did considerable damage on the Duntroon and Hakateramea Branch, and in the lower Taieri Valley These damages were made good temporarily, so that traffic was restored in a few days after the floods subsided. Extensive renewal of timber-work has been done on the Brunner suspension-bridge. Bridge-repairs generally have been heavier than in the previous year A great, many of the older bridges are requiring extensive renewal. Heavy repairs have been in hand on the wharves at Greymouth, Nelson, and Port Chalmers. - The coal-staiths at Westport have had necessary repairs. The gangways approaching same have been renewed and widened. The new staiths are approaching completion under contract with the Harbour Board. The alteration of the existing staiths to suit the extension is well advanced and will be ready as soon as the new work.

Extensions of sidings and station-yards have been made at Waipawa, Waipukurau, Ormondville, New Plymouth, Lyttelton, Christchurch, Ashburton, Lovell's Flat, Gore, Bluff, Wright's Bush, Winton, Lumsden, Kingston, and several other places. New goods-sheds have been erected at Hook, Seadown, and Greymouth, and those at New Plymouth, Masterton, and Eketahuna enlarged. A number of new cattle-yards have been put up at various places. Additions to workshops have been made at Petone, Addington, and Greymouth. The long and steep grade south of Halcombe has been reduced from 1 in 55 to 1 in 70, with curves of larger radius. A new loop-line at Sentry Hill has been completed, making a direct run from the South to New Plymouth. Improvements have been made to the gradients between Waihola and Millburn, and at Owhiro, enabling engines to haul increased loads from Milton towards Dunedin. Expenditure. —The total cost of maintenance for the year was £245,163, being at the rate of £131 17 per mile. This is slightly less than last year's rate, and is the lowest yet attained. New Construction. —The following works have been carried out under the vote for additions to open lines Cattle-wharf at Onehunga, additional siding-accommodation and enlargement of goodsshed at New Plymouth, loop-line at Sentry Hill, alteration of grades between Halcombe and Feilding, extension of sidings at Ormondville, Waipawa, Sefton, Islington, Oamaru, Warrington, Lovell s Flat, Gore, and Kelso , enlargement of goods-sheds at Eketahuna and Masterton, and station-extension at Petone, coal-store, Palmerston North, new weighbridge, Foxton, new stationbuildings at Ashurst extension of machine-shops at Petone, extension of boiler-shop, erecting-shop, and new pattern-shop at Addington, and new sidings , fire-service for Christchurch station-yard , sidings and signals, Christchurch yard, new goods-sheds at Hook and Wyndham, loading-platform at Belfast, alteration of grades between Millburn and Clarendon, extension of sidings, approaches, and cattle-yard, Wright's Bush , cattle-yard at Tapanui, extension of wharf and sidings at Kingston, wharf-extension at Picton (this work is well advanced) Tree-planting. —A large number of forest trees were planted out in the Canterbury District, and supplies sent to other districts in both Islands. Planted in Canterbury, 79,900 , sent to other railway districts, 33,150, supplied to Christchurch City Council, 50 total sent out from nursery, 113,100. Private Sidings. —There were twelve new grants of private sidings made during the year, and fourteen renewals of former grants. These have an aggregate rental of £575 per annum. Leases. —New leases to the number of 188 were granted during the year The usual detailed annual statements are appended. I have, &c, J Heney Lowe, The New Zealand Eailway Commissioners. Chief Engineer, W.E.

APPENDIX B. Gentlemen, — Locomotive Superintendent's Office, Wellington, 6th May, 1892. I have the honour to report upon the Locomotive Department for the year ending 31st March, 1892. The locomotives, rolling-stock, tarpaulins, machinery, and general plant have been maintained in good condition, and have been considerably improved. The improvements to locomotives are giving excellent results. Balanced valves have run 50,000 miles, and on examination have been found in good order Some have been in three years without being touched, and are still in good condition. Standard side-rods run four to six times longer without alteration than the old type, and the life is also proportionately longer Metallic packing has run 45,000 miles without replacing, at an annual cost of about one-tenth that of the ordinary packing previously in use. The class "W" engine on the heavy grades between Hutt and the Summit ran 31,356 miles from Ist October, 1889, to November, 1891, when it had to be stopped for turning up the tires only, the other parts being in good order Locomotive Repairs and Rebuilding. —lso locomotives have come into the shops for repairs. Of these, 3 have been entirely rebuilt, 1 rebuilt and fitted with new boiler, cylinders, gear, tanks, &c, 13 are now being rebuilt —2 of these will be entirely replaced, and the other 11 will be fitted with new boilers, cylinders, gear, tanks, &c. In each case the locomotives rebuilt are of greatly-increased power This is the first year that locomotive-rebuilding has been carried out so extensively. 61 locomotives were thoroughly overhauled, 24 underwent heavy repairs and 48 light repairs, 57 were wholly painted, and 36 had paint-work renewed and were revarnished , 4 stationary boilers underwent heavy, and 3 light repairs. Car and Wagon Repairs and Rebuilding. —B bogie cars have been entirely rebuilt, to replace old stock condemned , 285 cars have been thoroughly overhauled, and 170 received light repairs ; 127 were wholly painted and varnished, and 127 had the paint and varnish renewed , 7 bogie brake-vans have been entirely rebuilt, to replace old four-wheel stock condemned, 95 brake-vans were thoroughly overhauled, and 79 received light repairs, 44 were wholly painted and varnished, and 46 had the paint and varnish renewed, 1,824 wagons were thoroughly overhauled, and 1,521 had light repairs , 170 were entirely rebuilt. Of the old stock which these new wagons represent, 100 wagons

were sold to Western Australia, 31 were converted to a more suitable type, 1,170 were wholly painted, and 1,111 had paint-work renewed , 512 wagons were fitted with standard draw-gear The carrying-capacity of 61 bogie wagons was increased from 14 to 16 tons each, and 21 fourwheeled wagons from 4 to 5 tons each. Steam-cranes and Stationary Boilers. —lB steam-cranes were thoroughly overhauled, 4 had heavy repairs, and 9 light repairs. Tarpaulins. —3s6 new tarpaulins were manufactured, and 4,164 were thoroughly repaired. Additional New Stock supplied out of Loan. —24 new eight-ton coal-hoppers have been completed, and 26 others are well in hand 29 new bogie wagons have been completed (5 sheep-trucks, 7 platform trucks, and 17 frozen-meat trucks), and 35 others are now well in hand. 16 fourwheeled wagons are also in a forward state. Expenditure. —The expenditure per train-mile in pence has been as follows : —

Workshops. —The workshops have been fully employed. Additional accommodation has been provided at Petone and Addington, and several new machines have been added at Auckland, Petone, Addington, and Hillside, but much more is still required to meet the demand caused by the increasing age of the stock. The usual returns are forwarded. I have, &c, T F Eotheeam, The New Zealand Eailway Commissioners, Locomotive Superintendent. Wellington.
