RAILWAYS STATEMENT. (2nd August, 1895.) BY THE MINISTER FOR RAILWAYS, THE HON A.J. CADMAN

Me. Speakeb,— Parliament having decided, by the passing of " The Government Kailways Act, 1894," that the control of the railways should vest m the Government as from the Ist January last, I have now the pleasure, as Minister for Kailways appointed under the Act referred to, to make my first Railways Statement. For three-fourths of the financial year which ended on the 31st March last the late Railway Commissioners were in office, so that the railways were under the administration of the Government for only one-fourth of the year Improvements in working and management have been effected which, whilst giving satisfaction to the people, have also proved profitable, and still further improvements are m contemplation. The full effect of the changes made will not, however, be seen until they have received a much longer trial. The working results for the year, as compared with those of the previous year, are as follows. The gross receipts have declined by £21,941, and the net receipts by £18,743. The percentage of expenditure to receipts has advanced from 6270 to 63 # 62 while the interest on the capital invested has declined from £2 17s. 9d. per cent, in 1893-94 and £3 Is. in 1892-93 to £2 14s. 6d. in 1894-95. The railways, however, earned about £40,000 for services rendered to the colony but not paid for Had this amount been credited the earnings would have been £2 19s. 9d. per cent. These unsatisfactory results are due principally to diminished business, the chief cause being the lessening of the spending-power of the people owing to the great fall in prices of our staple products, and the almost entire stoppage of the export of wheat. The export of this staple during the previous financial year was 2,619,398 bushels, whilst the export last year was only 228,904 bushels —a loss of considerably over 2,000,000 bushels. The number of passengers travelling declined to the extent of 67,123, and the goods traffic by 5,367 tons, and this notwithstanding that 45 additional miles of line were opened during the year, and that the total mileage travelled by our trains was greater by 108,389 Although there was an increased mileage worked for the year of 45 miles, there was a decrease of £3,199 m working-expenses. The total length of Government railways open for traffic on the 31st March last was 1,993 miles, an increase for the year of 45 miles. The total capital invested in these lines was £15,352,613, an increase for the year of £215,577.

The following table will be interesting as showing the relative cost of the several railways, and their earnings, during the late financial year —

The gross revenue for the current year is estimated at £1,155,000, or only a moderate increase on the actual receipts of last year. Important concessions have been made in passenger-fares, m the shape of cheap holiday excursions to school-children and their parents and friends. These excursions have proved very popular, and have been largely patronised. They were not, however, initiated solely for revenue purposes, but chiefly as a means of education, and to popularise railway-travelling The number of persons carried by these excursions should, perhaps, scarcely be counted as a portion of our regular passenger traffic, but they are nevertheless included m the total returns. If the travellers by these school excursions were omitted the passenger traffic for the year would show a decline of 132,262 travellers, as compared with the previous year The facilities granted by these excursions, and the lowness of the fares charged, have undoubtedly induced the people to use the railways more freely, and the result of this will be apparent in the future. But, as the changes were initiated so near the close of the financial year, the revenue of the year was not largely affected by them. Other concessions m rates for the carriage of goods and passengers have been made since the Government assumed control of the railways, of which the follow mg are the principal items Live-stock m double-floored trucks, and store stock in large mobs , road-metal for public bodies for distances over twelve miles , New-Zealand-grown fresh fruit. These reductions, however, were in opeiation for so short a time prior to the 31st March that no marked results could be looked for from them during last year But it is gratifying to know that they are greatly appreciated, and in some instances —notably the live-stock rates —are bringing a largely-increased traffic to the railways Further reductions are contemplated, in such traffic as dairy produce, minerals, &c. , but the Government realises that it is m the highest degree important to go cautiously to work when dealing with matters which may largely affect our railway revenue, and hence can only agree to reductions in rates after very careful and mature consideration. Improvements in respect of workmen's trains and holiday-excursion arrangements are' also m contemplation. Amongst other alterations in contemplation are the simplification of the method of fixing extended excursion fares, coupled with a reduction m the rates. At Christmas, Easter, and other principal holidays cheap extended excursion tickets from the centres of population to the country, and from the country to the centres of population, will be issued at the uniform rate of Id. per mile for the return journey The tickets will be second class, with a minimum fare of 2s. A proportionately higher rate will be charged

to persons desirous of travelling first class. These rates will generally be less than those in force hitherto, and it is hoped therefore that they will bring about a much larger holiday traffic. The mileage rate to be charged, being uniform throughout the colony, will soon become familiar to the public. As might naturally be expected, after the change in administration, many more concessions have been asked for These have been fully considered, and, when the granting of them would have been against the public interest, they have been courteously but firmly declined. If the numerous concessions asked for had all been made the revenue would have been affected to the extent of many thousands a year Some additional works and conveniences on the lines and stations have been asked for and granted, but very many more have had to be declined. An approximate estimate has been made of the probable cost of carrying out the various works asked for during the three months ended the 31st March last, the sum-total of which exceeds £100,000. Honourable members will have remarked the very general complaints at the indifferent results achieved by the present almost obsolete system of lighting our railway-carriages, and will be pleased to know that it has been determined to introduce the system of compressed gas now m operation on the London and North-western, Great Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and other important English railways. (At the commencement of 1894 over 52,000 carriages were fitted with the Pintsch compressed-gas system.) lam advised that it is the most successful system for trains such as we have in New Zealand. The cost of introducing the improved light will not be extravagant, but to serve the three mam systems of the colony will require three gas-generating plants. It is proposed to initiate the new system on the principal section of all—viz., the Hurunui-Bluff Section. So far as I can gather from the reports placed before me the expenditure will be about Jd. per light per hour under the new system, with fifty per cent, more light, as compared with |d. per light per hour under our present system, whilst I am positively assured the light will be all that can be desired. Many economies have been effected in the cost of administration since the Government assumed charge. The expenditure on " additions to open lines " —which means increasing the usefulness and capabilities of the lines, adding to the public conveniences, and enabling the cost of working to be reduced —is on the increase, and a larger vote than was granted last year will be required this year. The workshop expenditure will also increase, as there is much important work in the shops that must be done , and as the age of the rolling-stock increases this work must be expected to attain still larger proportions. A very large proportion of the machinery m several of the workshops is gradually becoming obsolete, and from time to time, as funds are available, the same will be replaced with machinery of a modern and up-to-date type. One heavy engine has recently been built at the Addmgton Workshops, and five others are m hand. Three of these engines are intended to run the express traffic on the ChristchurchDunedm line, but they will be too heavy to run on the present bridges and the 401b. rails which still remain in portions of that line. At the present time none of them could run further south from Christchurch than Ashburton, and at the present rate of relaying the line with 531b. steel rails and strengthening the bridges it will be two years before they could be run through to Dunedin. It is to be regretted that money is not available for an earlier completion of this most desirable work, for with the heavier engines the cost of haulage would be much less. Our locomotive boilers are becoming older, and consequently require increasing attention in the matter of repairs and renewals. The Locomotive Superintendent estimates that within the next five years 40 new locomotive boilers will be required, of which 10 are already in hand. The cost of completing the 10 in hand and providing the additional 30 will probably amount to no less a sum than £18,000. This refers to boilers required for renewals only, and does not include any boilers required for new locomotives which may be built. A return

has been prepared showing the ages of all the boilers on the New Zealand railways, which is appended to this statement. Another matter affecting our expenditure is the leave of absence now required to be given to all officers and employes in compliance with the provisions of the Act of last session. The staff employed on our lines is not sufficient to admit of this leave being given without employing an additional number of both officers and men for relieving duty The increased cost is roughly estimated at about £3,250 per annum. The Government considered it necessary, in order to make sure of the condition of the very extensive public property which they had taken over from the late Railway Commissioners, to have a careful and detailed examination made of the whole of the railways by high-class technical experts. The Engineer-in-Chief of the Colony (Mr W H. Hales) and Mr C. Napier Bell were accordingly deputed to make the inquiry, and these gentlemen, after an examination of the lines extending over nearly six months, have sent in a very full and exhaustive report, which will shortly be laid before Parliament This report shows that the railways have generally been maintained in a very satisfactory condition, that safety and efficiency have nowhere been impaired, that renewals have been effected which in many instances have increased the stability and value of the railways and rolling-stock, and that, while extensive repairs and renewals are constantly in demand, they have been fairly well provided for, and with due regard to economy The report also shows that provision will have to be made for a number of additional repairs and renewals, and the House will be invited to vote the necessary amount for these on the current year's estimates. Sundry changes in management were made on the control of the railways reverting to the Government. The principal ones were the appointment of Mr Thomas Ronayne as General Manager, Mr Charles Hudson as Assistant General Manager, and Mr H. J H. Blow as Under-Secretary The railway staff is thoroughly efficient, and both officers and men take a a great interest in the work of the department. In pursuance of the provisions of the Act of last session, an Order in Council has been issued making full regulations for the election of Boards of Appeal for the railway servants in each Island. Mr J C Martin, Stipendiary Magistrate, Wellington, has consented to act as President of the North Island Board, and Mr District Judge Ward has agreed to preside over the South Island Board. The election of the elective members of both Boards will shortly take place. When these Boards are set up and are in working order they will supply a want which has long been felt by the railway servants. Applications are frequently made by disabled servants, and those on whose energies advancing years are having their natural effect, for lighter work, or to be allowed to retire on a compensation allowance, also by the widows of men dying in the service for consideration in respect of their late husband's services. To many of these applications the Government has had to turn a deaf ear, as there is no provision of law for such cases. It will not, however, always be possible, nor, indeed, prudent, to refuse consideration m such cases, and. the Government is therefore considering the advisability of offering inducements to the employes to enable them to establish a pension and superannuation fund, applicable to all classes of railway employes, and I hope to be able to submit proposals on the subject to the House next session. The question of amalgamating the Public Works and Railway Departments is also under the consideration of the Government. The question is rather a difficult one, and requires to be very carefully dealt with. The usual departmental reports are appended, containing full statements of accounts and all the information usually hitherto supplied in reference to the working railways. A report by the late Railway Commissioners relating to the portion of the year during which the railways were under their control is also annexed. From this report it will be seen that, up to the latest date to which the Commissioners could report, the accounts showed a falling-off in revenue and an increase in expenditure, due in the one case to diminished traffic, and in

5

the other to extensive renewals of repairs to and improvements in the several lines of railway The Commissioners also recommend gradually increasing the capacity of the main lines to carry heavier rolling-stock—a matter which is receiving careful consideration, and to which I have already referred.

APPENDICES APPENDIX A. EBPOET ON WOEKING EAILWAYS BY THE NEW ZEALAND EAILWAY COMMISSIONEES. gns— Government Buildings, Wellington, 31st December 1894. In reference to your memorandum of the 21st December, 1894, for a report upon the condition of the railways and a statement of the revenue and expenditure up to the time the Commissioners vacate office—namely, to-day—and also any other matter in connection with the future working of the railways, we have to report that the lines, rolling-stock, and workshop machinery are generally all in good working-order and repair, as detailed in accompanying reports of the Working Eailways and Locomotive Departments. The statement of accounts shows a falling-off in revenue and an increase of expenditure for the portion of the financial year Ist April to Bth December, as compared with the corresponding period of the previous year ending 9th December The decrease in revenue is principally on the HurunuiBluff Section, due to the diminished grain-traffic and its reflex effect on other items of traffic. The increased expenditure of nearly £11,000, or about 2 per cent, on the corresponding period's outlay, is mainly on renewals, ballasting, and bridges of the permanent-way In a system of nearly 2,000 miles of railway in ten independent unconnected sections, there must necessarily be fluctuations in expenditure from year to year, especially where, as in this case, so many of the structures are of timber, and where the property is in course of improvement by the strengthening of bridges and lines to bear heavier rolling-stock. An additional mileage of 32 miles 37 chains was opened during the year, making in all a total mileage of 1,983 miles 67 chains on this date. The tariff was amended on twenty-two items, as per list appended. The concessions made are in direct encouragement of the settlement of the country and will not materially affect the revenue. With regard to the future working of the railways, we would recommend that it will be in the interests of economical working to keep on gradually increasing the capacity of the main lines to carry heavier rolling-stock, by strengthening the bridges, by completing the relaying with 531b. steel rails and additional sleepers, and by reducing grades and flattening curves. We have the pleasure to acknowledge the efficiency and loyalty of the railway staff. They are an excellent body of officers and men. We have, &c, James McKebbow, 1 ! ~ rr v „.

Memorandum for the Eailway Commissionebs re Condition of the New Zealand Eailways. Locomotive Superintendent's Office, Wellington, 29th December, 1894. In reply to your Memorandum No. 6458, of the 18th instant, I have the honour to report that the locomotives, rolling-stock, and plant in my charge are in good and efficient order , also that the improvements, &c. indicated in my report (56-37-94) of the 11th January last have been continued as circumstances permitted. The principal workshops throughout the colony were on short time—viz., five days per week— from the 28th May to the 13th October 1894. Attached please find the following reports from the various officers Workshop Manager, Addington (together with reports from Foremen Fitter, Blacksmith, Carpenter and Painter) Workshop Manager Hillside (together with reports from Foremen Fitter, Blacksmith, and Carpenter) , Locomotive Foremen, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill, Carriage and Wagon Inspectors, Christchurch and Dunedin Workshop Foreman, Petone, Locomotive Foreman, Wellington, Locomotive Manager East Town (together with reports from Boiling-stock Inspector and Workshop Foreman) , Locomotive Foreman, Napier (together with report from Boiling-stock Inspector), Locomotive Manager, Newmarket (together with reports from Locomotive Foreman,.

The lines have been maintained throughout in safe condition, and in a fair and proper state of repair. The permanent-way generally is in very good condition. The number of sleepers requiring renewal has somewhat increased. The number used for ordinary repairs for the year ending Bth December, 1894, was 176,203. This represents an increase of about 21,000 sleepers used in renewals, or about 9 per mile, and is due to the increasing age of the lines. Renewals of permanent-way have been effected to the extent of 36 miles, a decrease under the previous year of 3 miles. Repairs and renewals of structures have been actively carried out, and the repairs required have been somewhat on the increase. Expenditure. —The expenditure for maintenance during the nine months of the current financial year, up to the Bth December, 1894, was £193,397 as against £182,289, for corresponding period of previous year, showing an increase of £11,108. In the following table a comparison is given of the various items of maintenance for the two years, showing where the increased expenditure arises, during the corresponding periods:—

The table shows that increases have taken place in track-surfacing, track-renewals, ballasting, banks and cuttings, and bridges, &c. while there has been a considerable decrease in wharves and additions. 1 Track-surfacing. —Compared with the corresponding period last year there has been an increase in mileage of 71 miles of track to be maintained. The increase in expenditure is only £431, but this is owing to the staff being employed to a great extent in resleepering, &c. But for this increased mileage there would have been a considerable reduction under this head. 2. Track-renewals. —As already explained, the sleeper-renewals have been heavy, the increase being in number about 21,000, and in money about £3,750. There has been a decrease in the number of miles relaid, but during the previous year there were large stocks on hand already paid for, about balancing the decrease in quantity purchased. 3. Ballasting. —The work done in the preceding year was unusually low Ballasting was retarded from various causes, in some cases by difficulty in obtaining land for ballast-pits, in other cases ballast gangs were employed on alteration of grades. This year we were able to proceed with this work more regularly There is an additional expenditure under this head of about £3,500. 4. Banks and Cuttings also show an increase. This invariably accompanies ballasting, because banks must be made up in height and width before new ballast is put on. This head also includes the clearing of slips and washaways, &c, which were exceptionally heavy on Wellington, NapierTaranaki, and Dunedin Sections. Increase, about £1,200. 5. Bridges and Culverts. —In comparing this with previous years, it is to be borne in mind that the same class of workmen are employed and often the same workmen are engaged on bridge and wharf work, and when large wharf-works are in hand it is an object to postpone large bridgerenewals as much as is expedient. It is therefore proper to group these two items in making a comparison of expenditure upon two years' working. Grouping these accordingly,— 1893. 1894. Bridges and culverts .. .. .. £21,725 ... £26,251 Wharves . 6,243 2,490 Total £27,968 .. £28,741 27,968 Total increase £773

Nevertheless there is a decided increase in expenditure on renewals of structures. A number of bridges have been entirely rebuilt on a higher standard of strength to meet demands of heavier classes of stock, and many more will require such renewals year after year All other increases are merely nominal, and are counterbalanced by small decreases on other heads. The summarised increases, therefore, on the nine months of the current financial year are, —■ Track-surfacing, increased mileage, 71 miles at, say, £30 £2,130 Sleeper-renewals 3,750 Ballasting 3,550 Banks and cuttings 1,200 Bridges and wharves 770 £11,400 Other increases and decreases bring the net increase to £11,108, as per above table. The rate of expenditure has diminished during the latter periods of this financial year, so that unless any floods or other considerable damage should arise I anticipate that at the end of the financial year the total increase over the preceding year will be less. Under the heading of " Additional works," the following are some of the principal:— Completion of Hastings Station alterations. Alteration of goods-shed, Onehunga. New overbridge at Patea Station. Terrace End New platform and station. Hawera Extension of siding accommodation. Improvements to Wanganui Station buildings and yard. Eltham and Inglewood Goods-shed and sidings—alteration and enlarged accommodation. Hydraulic wheel-pit in Wellington engine-shed. Enlargement to Eakaia Station. Timaru Improvement in approaches, north end of yard. Several new loading-banks and cattle-yards. Enlargement of a large number of employes' dwellings. Additions to several station-buildings. New weighbridge for Lyttolton. Improvements to Clifton Station, and new siding. J Heney Lowe, Chief Engineer

Alteeations made in Scale of Chabges by Eailway Commissionebs from 28th January to 31st December, 1894. Faces for workmen have been reduced by the introduction of workmen's commutation (twelvetrip) tickets. School season-tickets are now issued on any date, and are available for three months from date of issue. Eeduced rates were also granted to students over nineteen years of age attending Universities and Colleges. Eeduction in fare has been made for pleasure parties of not less than twenty travelling second class. The sectional system for charging passengers, parcels, and goods on the Whangarei Section has been adopted. Skim-milk returning from factories is conveyed free of charge. The regulation stating that grain in bags weighing over 2401b5. will be charged rate and an eighth has been removed. The ordinary rate is now charged. The charge for small lots of timber has been reduced. Drovers and their dogs travelling with not less than three trucks of live-stock are now granted a return pass for themselves and their dogs. The charge for small lots of bones, bone-dust, manure, &c, has been reduced. Poultry-coops and pens for use at poultry shows are now returned free of charge to the sending station. The period during which threshing-machines going to country stations for use there may be returned to the original sending station at half-rates has been extended to two months.

APPENDIX B. ANNUAL REPORT OP THE GENERAL MANAGER OP NEW ZEALAND RAILWAYS. To the Hon. the Minister for Eailways. N.Z. Government Eailways, Head Office, Sib,— Wellington, 13th June, 1895. I have the honour to report upon the opened railways for the financial year ending 31st March, 1895. At the end of the year there were 1,993 miles of line open, against 1,948 miles in the previous year The capital cost of opened lines has been increased from £15,137,036 to £15,352,613, an increase of £215,577 Interest at the rate of £2 14s. 6d. has been earned o-n the cost of opened lines, as compared with £2 17s. 9d. for the previous year The expenditure has been £732,160, against £735,359 last year. The revenue has been £1,150,851, against £1,172,793 last year. The net revenue has been £418,691, against £437,434 last year Expenditure per cent, of revenue, 63 , 62, as compared with 62-70 last year

The following extensions have been opened during the year ending 31st March, 1895 :— M. eh. Ruatangata to Waro 8 06 Tarukenga to Rotorua 8 56 Middlemarch to Hyde 16 20 Glenomaru Tunnel, Catlin's River Branch 0 33 Mokotua to Gorge Road, Seaward Bush Branch 6 62 Mokihinui Coal Company's line taken over 3 69 Total .. 44 06 Following are the comparisons of the traffic, revenue, and expenses for the past fifteen years :—

And also of the traffic in local products for the past ten years:—

Passengers have decreased in number 67,123, and in revenue £18,237 This I attribute to the low price ruling for produce, which has no doubt caused less money to be available for spending on travelling. The decrease in numbers would have been larger but for the new departure instituted on the 17th January, 1895, for school excursions. No less than 41,466 school-children and 23,673 adults have been carried up to 31st March, 1895. Season-tickets have increased in number 11,397, and in revenue £1,367, attributable to the popularity of commutation tickets and the introduction of workmen's twelve-trip tickets. The goods traffic has decreased by 5,367 tons, and £3,135 revenue, which is accounted for by a falling-off in grain of 22,635 tons, due to diminished acreage under crop, and in minerals of 6,621 tons, principally due to the reduced output of the West Coast coal-mines. Merchandise, timber, firewood, and wool all show increases. Cattle give a small increase of 413 head, and sheep the large increase of 163,487 A reduction in the sheep rates, made on 4th February, 1895, has led to a substantial increase in the number carried. During the two months ending 31st March, 1895, 476,096 have been carried, as compared with 427,168 for the corresponding period, of the previous year, an increase of 48,928. The rolling-stock has been severely taxed to meet the increasing sheep traffic, and it will be necessary to augment the existing supply of sheep-trucks, more especially on the Wellington and Napier-Taranaki Sections. Turning to the Expenditure Account, it will be observed that the increasing age of the lines and structures has led to an additional expenditure in the cost of maintenance, the increase in this department amounting to £4,267 for the year This item of expenditure may reasonably be expected to increase for some years to come, until the lines are more generally relaid with 531b. steel rails, and the bridges rebuilt with more durable materials. When this important work has been accomplished the present cost of maintenance will be materially reduced more powerful engines can be employed, enabling heavier trains to be run, and thus reduce the cost of working.

APPENDIX D. ANNUAL REPORT ON MAINTENANCE OP NEW ZEALAND RAILWAYS. Sic,— Chief Engineer's Office, Wellington, 2] st May, 1895. I have the honour to report on the maintenance of the New Zealand Eailways for the year ending 31st March, 1895. Extensions. —The following new lines were opened for traffic during the year:— M. eh. Whangarei Eailway, Hikurangi Extension. 8 06 Tarukenga to Eotorua, on the Thames Valley-Eotorua Eailway 8 56 Middlemarch to Hyde, on Otago Central Eailway 16 20 Glenomaru Tunnel, on Catlin's Eiver Branch 0 33 Mokotua to Gorge Eoad, Seaward Bush Branch 6 62 Mokihinui Coal Company's line taken over 3 69 Total ... 44 06 Mileage. —This brings the total mileage of railways opened for traffic up to 1,994 miles 76 chains, with an additional 10 miles of Forest Hill Branch under lease. Permanent-ivay. —The lines generally have been maintained in good running order Eenewals of rails have been effected to the extent of 33 miles 5 chains. Sleepers. —There has been a continued increase of rate of renewal of sleepers, the number used being 194,971. Of this number 170,932 were for ordinary renewals, and 24,039 were for increasing the number per rail-length. About fifty-four miles of railway were thus treated. The number of sleepers used in ordinary repairs represent an average of eighty-seven per mile of railway Ballasting. —Very considerable additions to the ballasting of the lines have been made during the year Land has been acquired from which to obtain supplies of ballast, and several new ballastpits have been opened. It is essential to economical maintenance of the lines to keep them well supplied with ballast. Full ballasting saves wear-and-tear, greatly facilitates weeding, and enables a good running-surface to be kept with a minimum of labour , and it preserves both rails and sleepers. Slips and Floods. —There have been several somewhat severe storms, causing floods and slips in various parts. The principal damages done were Napier-Taranaki Line .At Swainson's grade and north approach to Aorangi Bridge. In the Manawatu Gorge there were several heavy slips. Wellington Section Several very heavy slips occurred near Mauriceville, stopping traffic twice, for six days and three days respectively Dunedin Section Some large slips near Seacliff have been cleared, and drainage works done to check further movement. Nelson Section suffered considerable damage from an unusually heavy flood in the Wai-iti Eiver Greymouth Section A large old slip in the Gorge, near Greymouth, started to move again. Protective works, erected in former years, have been standing well, as a rule, and have greatly diminished the effects of floods on the railways generally New protective groins have been formed during the year on the Pohangina Eiver, near Ashurst, on the Waipawa Eiver (Napier Section), and on the Waipa, near Otorohanga. Bridges. —Bepairs, renewals, and reconstruction of bridges have been carried on steadily A number of bridges have been strengthened to meet the requirements of heavier engines. Bepairs and renewals of decayed timber have been systematically carried on, having regard to safety of the structures, and taking care to utilise the old material as far as prudent. Auckland Section Thirty-six bridges were under repairs and renewal. Napier-Taranaki Sections Aorangi Bridge repaired after damage by flood. Turakina, Patea, Mangawhero, Tepopo, Manganui, Waipuku, Mangamawhiti, Maketawa, Ngatoronui, Ngatoro, Waitotara, all repaired and strengthened , also five of the large viaducts on the Napier line overhauled and repaired. Wellington Section All bridges north of Featherston have been strengthened, besides renewal of timbers as required. There has been a quantity of Native timber removed on account of early decay Christchurch Section On the north line repairs and renewals have been carried out to the large bridges over the Pahau, Hurunui, Weka Pass, Waikari, Kowai, and Ashley, also on south lines, the Selwyn, Eakaia, Hinds, North and South Eangitata, Orari, Temuka, Opihi, Saltwater Creek, Pareora, and Waihao. Dunedin Section The Island Stream Bridge has had new superstructure, Kakanui, Waikouaiti, Balclutha, Waitapeka, Waiwera, and Upper Waitaki Bridges have undergone extensive repairs and renewals are in progress at the Glenore Bridge and Pomahaka. Invercargill Section The Waicola and Garston Bridges have been rebuilt, also a small bridge on the Mossburn Branch. Nelson Section All the bridges have now been renewed save two. During the year four were rebuilt. Picton Section . The large viaduct and Wairau Bridge received extensive repairs. General Minor bridge-repairs have been carried out as required on all the sections. Fences. —The fences are, generally speaking, fairly maintained, and the expenditure upon them was somewhat higher than in the previous years. There are 2,857 miles of fencing along the railways.

Water-services, Cranes, Signals, &c. —These are all reported in good order Several additions have been made to the signals at various stations. The water-services have been increased in number and enlarged in capacity Wharves. —The principal work under this heading has been the renewal of the export wharf at Port Chalmers. Materials have been ordered for the renewal of the George Street Pier. The Onehunga Wharf has had extensive repairs to stringers, deck-beams, and planking. The Helensville Wharf has also been repaired. Wharf-repairs on a considerable scale have also been effected at Grey mouth and Westport. New Works. —A large number of new works and additions have been carried out, the principal of which are noted, as follows :— Kaihu Valley Section Engine-shed extended. Auckland Section Main line improved near Paerata. Station-buildings altered and extended, and verandah erected at Frankton. Additional sidings at Onehunga Wharf.

A large number of dwellings occupied by employes have been enlarged, and additional accommodation provided in the form of washhouses, outhouses, coppers, &c. Expenditure. —The total cost of maintenance of way and works for the year was £272,717 15s. Id. This is an advance of £4,267 over the preceding year The additional mileage under maintenance very readily accounts for this increase. Lake Ellesmere. —This lake was tapped by the Selwyn County Council on the 11th July, 1894. The outlet closed again on the 24th August. Lake Forsyth. —This lake was let out twice by the Akaroa County Council on the 2nd July and the 9th September, closing again a day or two after on each occasion. Private Sidings. —There were seven new siding rights granted during the year The number of existing rights on the register is 230, with an aggregate annual rental of £4,131.

I have, &c, J Henby Lowe, The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways. Chief Engineer.

APPENDIX E. Sic, — Stores Manager's Office, Wellington, 7th June, 1895. I have the honour to report that the value of stores on hand on 31st March, 1895, at the various depots amounted to £100,119 16s. 9d., as against £98,318 ss. 4d. on the 31st March, 1894. The stock is in good order, and has been carefully and systematically inspected. Although the stock of general stores has actually been reduced during the year by £16,982, a net increase of £1,802 is caused by the accumulation of sleepers on the Auckland and NapierTaranaki Sections. I have, &c, Geo. Felton, The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways. Stores Manager.
