PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT BY THE HON. W. HALL-JONES, MINISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS 27th SEPTEMBER, 1898.
Me. Speakee,— I have the honour to lay before honourable members the Public Works Statement and estimates of expenditure for the year. The large number of applications that have been received for the construction of various public works throughout the colony have been very carefully considered, and, in view of the limited ways and means available, honourable members will realise the difficulty experienced in deciding upon those which first required attention. After careful deliberation, however, a selection has finally been made, and full particulars of the works proposed to be undertaken will be found in the accompanying estimates. In railway-construction alone the applications for new lines and the extension of existing lines comprise a length of over 1,500 miles, at an estimated approximate cost of nearly £10,000,000. It is claimed by those who advocate these railway works being undertaken by the colony that each one is the most important, and that the expected returns would justify the expenditure. I suppose it is only natural that settlers residing in the vicinity of proposed works, and who know the disadvantages under which they labour as compared with other parts of the colony, where greater facilities have been provided, should feel that the works which most concern them are of greater importance than those with which they are not so well acquainted. Searching and complete inquiry has to be made, and the greatest care exercised in deciding which among the numerous claims, if given effect to, would best promote the general interests of the colony. This being done, it is too often the case that, while the Government admit that many of the works asked for are necessary for the convenience of the settlers and the proper development of the country, a great many of them must stand over, owing to the limited amount of money available. If the more important railways, such as the North Island Mam Trunk, Otago Central, Blenheim-Culverden, the completion of the Seaward Bush, and the extension of the Helensville Northwards Bailway to Kaipara Plats, &c, are to be completed at an early date it can only •be done by means of a large loan to meet the necessary expenditure. This course has been advocated by many honourable members, who, with some reason, contend that the early completion of these works will largely increase the returns from the lines already constructed, will induce settlement, and promote the development of the resources of the country; and, moreover, that, as the works will be of a permanent character it is only right that those coming after us should in some measure i—D. 1.
LA—l
help to bear the expense of their construction ; and, further, that the buoyancy of the revenue indicates that the burden of taxation would not require to be increased to meet the necessary charges. The Government, however, are of opinion that for the present it is preferable to proceed with that caution which has distinguished the careful administration of the last few years, and, while desirous of seeing the early completion of the important works referred to, they deem it the wiser course to only ask this year for the half-million mentioned in the Financial Statement, and to leave the question of a more speedy prosecution of the construction of the main lines of railway open for future consideration. During the past year satisfactory progress has been made. The completion of through-communication between Wellington, Napier, and New Plymouth, via the Bimutaka, has permitted the lines previously opened to be worked to the greatest advantage. Before the close of the financial year I hope to hand over to the Working Bailways Department the under-mentioned sections of railway: Thames-Paeroa, Kokonga-Banfurly Section of the Otago Central, the extension of the Seaward Bush, and the Forest Hill Bailways. STATE OP THE PUBLIC WOEKS FUND. On 31st March, 1897, the balances available for public-works purposes were as follows: — Public Works Fund ... ... ... ... ... ... £282,363 Lands Improvement Account ... ... ... ... ... 199 073 Native Lands Purchase Account ... ... ... ... 157 1 723 Total ... ... ... ... ... £639,159 Under the authority obtained last session the two accounts mentioned above have now been incorporated into the Public Works Fund, and further ways and means provided, as follows : — For Additions to open railways ... ... ... ... £200,000 „ School-buildings ... ... ... ... ... 25,000 „ Technical schools ... ... ... ... ... 25,000 Transferred from the Consolidated Fund .... ... ... 300,000 Miscellaneous receipts ... ... ... ... ... 2,876 Thus making a gross total of available ways and means of £1,192,035. The expenditure has amounted to £865,543, which left a balance at the end of the year of £326.492. It is now proposed to supplement this amount as follows:— Transfer from the Consolidated Fund ... ... ... ... £350,000 Sinking funds released (say) ... .. ... ... ... 36,500 Further transfer from the Consolidated Fund for Defence purposes ... 25,000 „ „ „ lunatic asylums ... 25,000 /, /, „ Parliament Buildings 25,000 Further aid to be authorised ... ... ... ... ... 500,000 If these proposals are adopted by Parliament we shall have a total sum of £1,287,992 available for public-works purposes for the current year. The estimates of expenditure for the current year now submitted to the House total to £1,127,640, of which £1,077,640 will be a charge against the Public Works Fund, and the balance against the Government Loans to Local Bodies Account, so that a credit balance of £210,352 will remain in the Public Works Fund at the close of the year. DEPARTMENTAL. The only change worthy of mention that has taken place in the departmental administration during the year has been the retransfer of the Inspection of Machinery Branch to the Marine Department. As all the Inspectors of Machinery are also Engineer-Surveyors of Steamers and Examiners of Marine Engineers, and as this latter work must necessarily be carried out under the
ii
D.—l
111
supervision of the Marine Department, it was considered advisable to again place the administration of the Inspection of Machinery Act under that department, so as to avoid the Inspectors being under dual control. The change took place at the commencement of the current financial year. I also regret to have to record the retirement and subsequent decease of Mr. J. A. McArthur, the late Chief Clerk of the department. Mr. McArthur's service under the Government extended over a period of more than thirty-six years, over twenty-three years having been in the Public Works Department. The retirement of so old and valued a public servant has been a great loss to the staff of the department. RAILWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. I will now briefly review the operations of the past year in the matter of railway-construction. Kamo-Kawakawa. The section of this line between Whakapara and Waiotu is now practically completed, but no buildings have been erected or other terminal facilities provided at Waiotu, as upon a full consideration of the matter the Government has decided to ask authority to extend this line to the Hukerenui Township. This extension, which was petitioned for last session, is under two miles in length, and will not be expensive to construct, and will carry the line to a more convenient point. All the landowners along the route have agreed to convey the land required for the line to the Crown free of charge. The expenditure on this line last year amounted to £6,494, and the liabilities existing at the close of the year to a further sum of £1,554. The vote proposed for the current year is £7,000. Several petitions have been presented to Parliament praying for an extension of the line southwards from Kawakawa, and the Bay of Islands County Council is strongly urgrng that the survey of the proposed extension be undertaken immediately. As soon as an Engineer can be spared for the work, this survey will be put in hand, and I hope to be able to lay the result before Parliament next session. Helensville Noethwaeds. The formation of the Tahekeroa Section of this railway has been started, in pursuance of the vote for the work passed last session. The works are now proceeding satisfactorily, and will make still better progress as the weather improves. The expenditure on this line last year amounted to £4,047. The vote proposed for the current year is £7,000. Geahamstown-Te Aeoha. Construction-works have proceeded satisfactorily on this line throughout the year. The formation is now complete right through, the rail-laying extends to within about two miles of Grahamstown, ballasting is proceeding as expeditiously as possible, and the construction of the station-buildings has been authorised. lam in hopes that the whole line will be available for passenger traffic by Christmas, or early in the neAV year, though it is probable that considerable finishing-work will remain to be done after that date. The expenditure on the line last year amounted to £15,565. The vote proposed for the current year is £25,000, which is required to meet liabilities and to complete the line to Grahamstown, including the cost of station-buildings, &c. Paeeoa-Waihi. I mentioned in my last year's Statement that the survey for the projected line between Paeroa and Waihi was in hand. It has since been completed., and shows that a fairly good line can be obtained. The length would be about twelve miles and a half, and the probable cost, constructed according to present standards, but exclusive of rollmg-stock, about £80,000. The only heavy piece of work on the line is the construction of a tunnel 1,188 yards long at Karanga-
_>.—1
IV
hake. An alternative line to avoid this tunnel has been laid out, but it interferes so largely with existing roads, water-races, and other mining works and conveniences that it is questionable if any economy would result from its adoption. Considering the pressing demands for the completion of the lines of railway already authorised, I do not think the colony should undertake the construction of this work, especially as there is, I understand, a probability of its being undertaken by private enterprise, in terms of the existing law. Nobth Island Main Teunk. The construction of the Ohinemoa Section, at the north "end of this line, has been proceeded with. Along a portion of the route the country has turned out to be of a very treacherous nature, and will require to be carefully dealt with to avoid heavy slips and subsidences. The works were visited by the Engineer-in-Chief during last winter, and a careful inspection made of the strata, and suitable instructions given to the officers in local charge. The ground proved so bad that work had to be suspended in some places during the wettest portion of the winter, but has now been resumed, and will be pushed on vigorously during the summer months. At the southern end of the line formation has been in hand between Mangaweka and Kaikoura, and the foundations and abutments of the Makohine Viaduct have been completed. This latter work is of an exceptionally heavy character, the massive concrete bases for the principal piers, consisting of four huge monoliths, weighing collectively over 10,000 tons, while the total quantity of concrete in the structure exceeds 12,000 tons. The engineering workshop for the preparation of the ironwork has been erected, and provided with suitable machinery, and the work of shaping, planing, drilling, &c, of the iron is now in hand, and the erection of the piers will be commenced when a sufficient .quantity of the material is turned out from the workshop. Owing to the prolonged engineers' strike, the execution of the order for the workshop machinery in Great Britain was delayed for a considerable time. This had the effect of retarding our work considerably, and is very much to be regretted, as several miles of formation beyond the viaduct are ready to receive the rails, and delay in the construction of this work delays the opening of the line to Ohingaiti and Mangaweka. Another large viaduct is required for the Mangaweka Creek, and instructions have been issued for the designs for this to be prepared. The survey of the portion of this line not already definitely located is being pushed on vigorously, two survey parties being engaged on the work, one at each end of the line. It is found impossible to carry on operations of this nature in this country in the winter-time, so that both parties had to discontinue field-work in June or July last; but instructions have been issued that work in the field is to be resumed at the earliest practicable moment, and I have no doubt that the survey will be completed before next winter. When the survey is finished, a reliable estimate of the cost of completing the railway can be placed before honourable members. In both Auckland and Taranaki the agitation for the deviation to Stratford continues, and adds to the difficulties of the situation. The railway, however, requires to be constructed for another twelve miles at the northern end before it reaches the point of divergence of the two routes ; while at the southern end the completion of the Makohine Viaduct will take nearly two years, and as far as the line has gone at this end, and for some miles ahead, it opens up good country, capable of carrying a large population. In the interval, after investigation as to the extent and capabilities of the land from a settlement point of view, it is reasonable to expect that a sound public opinion will be formed, and by a moderate give-and-take policy a safe conclusion as to t the route which the line should ultimately follow will be arrived at. In the meantime the position will not be prejudiced by the expenditure of the money proposed to be voted this year. The expenditure on the North Island Main Trunk Bailway last year amounted to £45,385, and liabilities existed at the close of the year to the amount of £12,275. This year we ask for a vote of £40,000,
D.—l
V
EKETAHUNA-WOODVILLE. In my last year's. Statement I was able to record the fact of the last section of this line having been opened for traffic, thus completing through-communica-tion between Wellington and Napier via the Bimutaka. A good deal of finishing-work still remained to be performed, which has since been done. The expenditure on the line last year was £23,869, but, as liabilities existed at the close of the year to the amount of £842, and some other items have been authorised since, it is necessary to ask for a vote of £1,500 to finally close the accounts in connection with this railway. Wellington-Mastebton . The survey promised in last year's Statement to determine whether or not a better route was available over the Bimutaka Mountains than the present incline-line was put in hand as soon as an experienced officer could be spared for the work. The survey is not yet complete, but, even as far as it has gone, it has fully justified the hope of finding a more favourable line which I expressed last year. With a mile-and-a-half tunnel under the saddle which is crossed by the old coach-road, and at a level 250 ft. lower than the Summit tunnel on the existing railway, a line can be obtained between Kaitoke and Featherston that would be seven miles shorter than the present line, and would have no gradients steeper than 1 in 40, and no curve sharper than 10 chains radius, compared with gradients up to lin 15, and 5-chain curves, on the existing line. The estimated cost of constructing the suggested deviation is £200,000. Favourable as this result is, still more favourable results can be obtained by way of the Tauherenikau Valley. By this route a line can be obtained which will afford gradients not steeper than 1 in 60, and a tunnel under one mile in length, with a greater shortening of the line than by way of the coach-road route. The line by this route would also be less expensive to construct. Having thus ascertained that the Bimutaka Mountains can be crossed on moderate grades, I have now directed the surveyor to make further explorations in order to ascertain whether it is possible to eliminate the long l-in-35 grades between the Upper Hutt and Kaitoke. If this can be done it will be evident that a line can be formed between Wellington and the Wairarapa having no gradient steeper than lin 60. I hope to be in a position to place fuller information on the subject before honourable members prior to the close of the present session. Blenheim-A wateee. So much survey-work has been in hand by the department during the year that it has been impossible to spare a reliable officer to make the contemplated survey of the extension of this railway to a junction with the North Canterbury railways. The work has not been lost sight of, and will be put in hand as soon as a favourable opportunity presents itself. In the meantime, and as the purchase of the Starborough Estate has now been accomplished, it has been decided to at once resume construction-work between Blenheim and the Awatere. An engineer has been selected to take'charge of the work, who is already on the ground, and the actual work of construction will be commenced immediately. A substantial iron cylinder-bridge has been designed for both railway and road traffic over the Awatere Biver, and tenders for its construction will be invited shortly. The construction of this railway is at present only authorised to the Awatere (Starborough), but arrangements have been made to locate the line as far as the southern boundary of the Starborough Estate, so that the necessary land for the future continuation of the railway southwards may be reserved in the plans of the estate which are now being prepared for the purpose of placing the property in the market. The vote proposed for the Blenheim-Awatere Bailway this year is £8,000, which will be sufficient to meet the charges which will come to book up to the 31st March next. Otago Centeal. I stated last year that the construction of this railway between Kokonga and Banfurly was being delayed by the slow progress of the contractors for the iron
D.—l
VI
bridge over the Taieri Biver. I anticipated that this bridge would have been completed early in the current year, in which. case the wjiole line to Banfurly would have been ready for opening by August last. I regret to state, however, that the bridge has only recently been completed, so that it will now be impossible to open the line to Banfurly until the middle of November next. The formation of the section between Banfurly and Wedderburn has been put in hand, and the work is now in active progress. The expenditure on the Otago Central Bailway last year was considerably less than it would have been if the delay in the construction of the Taieri Bridge had not hindered the work. As it was, it amounted to £21,281, but liabilities existed at the close of the year to the amount of £8,371. This year we ask for a vote of £30,000. Heeiot Extension. Subject to a suitable area of land in this district being obtained for settlement, it is proposed to make a start with, the section of this railway extending as far as Edie's, six miles and a quarter beyond Heriot. The formation, on this section will be of an easy and inexpensive character, and the line, when completed, is expected to yield satisfactory results. The vote of £2,000 proposed for the work will meet the requirements of the current year. Seawaed Bush. The works on this railway were greatly delayed by the bad weather and the slow progress of the contractors for the Mataura Bridge. The bridge was finally completed in May last, and all the other work in progress is now being pushed on as rapidly as possible, and the whole line is' expected to be completed to Waimahaka by about the end of the financial year. The expenditure last year amounted to £7,819, the liabilities existing at the close of the year being £4,257. This year we ask for a vote of £10,000. Foeest Hill. The work of converting the old tramway into a substantial railway, according to present standards, has been proceeded with. The bulk of the rails required are now r on the ground, and the remainder will be delivered shortly. A large number of sleepers has already been procured locally, and efforts are being made to obtain the remainder. The laying of the permanent-way is about to be put in hand, and the line is expected to be opened for traffic right through to Macdonald's by February next. The expenditure on the line last year amounted to £2,551. This year we propose a vote of £5,000. . Midland. A considerable amount of work has been done on this railway. At the Greymouth end the whole of the unfinished formation between Jackson's and Otira has been in hand, and some platelaying and a good deal of river-protective work has been done in addition. This section should be well on towards completion by the end of the financial year. At the Nelson end the formation and bridging between Belgrove and Motupiko has been completed, and the laying of the rails is also nearly finished, and the ballasting of the line has been begun. The railway will probably be available for regular traffic about Christmas next, but we shall be in a position.to carry wool and other produce by the Ist November. The promised survey of the Tadmor Valley route for the extension of the line has been put in hand, and is now proceeding. Work at the Springfield end of the railway was commenced in March last. The first work was the construction of service-roads to give access to the line, but now the actual railway-works are well in hand, and proceeding very satisfactorily.

The company has until recently met the claims made upon it, the amount received during the late financial year being £20,567, while the profits on the working of the opened sections of the railway credited to Construction Account during the same period amounted to £1,250, making a gross total sum earned by the railway or recovered from the company since possession of the line was taken by the Government of £50,588. Accounts for a further sum of £11,018 were rendered to the company in April last, and formal notice, in terms of section 125 of " The Bailways Construction and Land Act, 1881," was served early in May, but the amount demanded has not yet been paid. As honourable members are aware, the debenture-holders claim that, under section 14 of " The East and West Coast (Middle Island) and Nelson Bailway and Bailways Construction Act, 1884," they, and not the Government, are entitled to possession of the line. They claim that they have a first charge upon the property, even against the Crown, and notwithstanding that the company has failed to carry out its contract. As against this contention the Government is advised that it was fully justified, and well within its rights, in taking possession, and proceeding with the construction of the railway. An application by some of the debenture-holders was recently made to the Supreme Court in the colony for the appointment of a Beceiver, so that an action could be brought against the Government to determine whether the rights of the debenture-holders are subject and subordinate to the rights of the Crown under " The Bailways Construction and Land Act, 1881," or whether they are entitled to precedence over those rights. The Beceiver was duly appointed by the Judge, and he has since initiated the contemplated action. The statement of claim and the Government's statement of defence have both been filed in Court, and we now await further action on the part of the Beceiver. This being the case, much as I regret the complicated position existing, 1 fear that until the legal position is defined by the Courts nothing can be done to improve the situation, which, contrary to the wish of both parties, may be described as a strained relationship. When the line is completed to the Otira, the question as to whether the incline section from there to the summit of the range at Arthur's Pass shall be constructed with a switchback in the Bolleston Valley or with a spiral tunnel under Mount Bolleston will require to be definitely decided. At present the matter is engaging the attention of the highest engineers in the colony. A reduction in the present rate of expenditure will be necessary if this question is not settled at an early date. The expenditure on construction-works on this railway last year amounted to £36,527. The total vote proposed for the current year is £35,000, including cost of permanent-way materials; but, allowing for credits, the net amount is £30,000. SUEVEYS. Considerable work has been undertaken during the year in the matter of surveying projected lines of railway. Beference has already been made to the surveys at both ends of the North island Main Trunk Bailway, the Nelson end of the Midland Bailway, and the Paeroa-Waihi and the Bimutaka deviation surveys. In addition to chese, a survey party is now engaged in exploring for a suitable line between Napier and Gisborne. On a portion of this route the country is of a very rough and broken character, and four different routes will have to be tried in order to ascertain which of them presents the greatest advantages. The survey has not yet made sufficient progress for any practical results to be laid before Parliament during the present session, but it seems evident that between Napier and Wairoa, at any rate, the line will be of a heavy and costly character. It has for some time past been in contemplation to have a trial-survey made for a light railway between Gisborne and Botorua. The large amount of surveywork the department has in hand at present has prevented my setting apart a suitable officer for this survey, but I am now making arrangements which wall enable this work to be put in hand. This line throughout a great part of its
D.—l
VIII
length will traverse a country that is but little known. The little we do know of it, however, leads me to suppose that the construction of a railway in this district may be rather a costly undertaking. An examination has also been made of the country that would be traversed by the proposed railways from Lovell's Flat to Kaitangata, Wright's Bush to Heddon Bush, and Orepuki (or Waicola) to Waiau. The length of the firstmentioned line would be about eight miles and a quarter, and it would open out large coalfields throughout its entire length, and would shorten the railagedistance between Kaitangata and Lovell's Flat by about a mile and a half. The probable cost of the line according to present standards, but exclusive of rollingstock, would be about £21,000. The proposed line between Wright's Bush and Heddon Bush would be about 18f miles long, the country throughout being nearly level, and of excellent quality. The probable cost of construction, exclusive of rolling-stock, would be about £45,000. A line from Orepuki to the Waiau Ferry would be 13J miles in length. The country after the first two miles or so would be generally easy, and the cost of the line probably about £50,000. The alternative line, from Waicola to Orawia, would be about 15J miles long, and would cost about £52,000. The amount expended on surveys of new lines last year was £1,616, and a vote of £3,600 is proposed for the current year. Total Appeopeiations foe Bailways. The total appropriations proposed for railway-construction works, including surveys, permanent-way materials, &c, is £217,100, and £200,000 for additions to open lines, or a gross total of £417,100. Last year the amount for new construction-works was £217,500, and £150,000 for additions to open lines, or a total of £367,500. ROADS, ETC. Boads, Beidges, and othee Woeks undee the Conteol oe the Ministee of Lands. As was anticipated in my Statement of last year, the extent of the works required to be done, and the consequent expenditure, have been about one-third greater than in the year 1896-97. During the present year, 405 miles of dray-roads and 367 miles of horseroads, with 89 bridges over 30 ft. span, have been constructed, as well as 383 miles of dray-roads and 103 miles of horse-roads widened and improved. The roads maintained for dray traffic aggregate 1,827 miles, and those maintained for horse traffic amount to 982 miles. In all, an extent of 4,067 miles of road and 89 bridges have been dealt with during the year. The cost of these operations was £269,427. The main roads maintained during the year were about 1,300 miles, those improved about 250 miles, and those constructed about 135 miles, including 28 bridges, and the cost of these works was about £106,000, so that over £160,000 was expended in constructing roads and tracks, and to a great extent for the benefit of newly settled lands. That this large expenditure every year is a profitable investment is amply proved by the recent valuations made under " The Government Valuation of Land Act, 1896." The counties in which settlement and road-making have advanced show an immense increase in values since the last valuation in 1891, and it may rightly be assumed that a large share of that increase is due to the expenditure on roads. In Auckland, seventeen counties, in which roads have been made to the extent of £174,504, have' increased in value by £1,459,987; four counties in Hawke's Bay, in which £44,775 has been spent, have increased by £1,296,949 ; five counties in Taranaki have increased £2,080,081 by an expenditure on roads of £261,135; eleven counties in Wellington, in which £287,215 was spent on roads, have increased in value
D.—l
IX
£4,096,990; two counties in Marlborough and Nelson, in which there was a road-expenditure of £27,875, have increased in value £247,694 ; the expenditure in four counties of Otago and Southland was £131,917, and the increased value is £903,851. The products of these counties have largely increased in the same period. The following table gives the progress of the several districts in which new settlement operations have been proceeding during the past seven years : — Table of the Increase of Settlement and the Increase in Production and in Value of the Chief Districts in which Settlement and Eoadworks have been carried on during the Past Seven Years :■ —
This shows an increase in these newly settled counties during the seven years of 12,542 holdings, 3,036,164 acres grass, 50,866 acres in white or grain crop, 75,288 acres in green crop, and, notwithstanding a decrease in the number of sheep in the Otago and Southland Counties, 1,936,922 more sheep and 323,995 more cattle. The largest increase is in the Wellington District, where the bushclad plains and downs have been converted into pasture, and the country is still understocked. It is not necessary to compare this progress with the progress of former years ; it is enough to show that the actual development of the country is proceeding at a forward rate, and that the increase in the rural valuation of the colony is due in great measure to the advance of settlement on the land, and the consequent increase in cultivation and production. In Auckland, every new holding has increased the value of the country by £603; in Hawke's Bay, by £1,040; Taranaki, £1,180; Wellington, £1,123; Marlborough and Nelson, £384 ; and Otago and Southland, £320. The Hawke's Bay, Taranaki, and Wellington counties dealt with, being forest-covered, are, by the conversion of forest into pasture, increased in about the same ratio, while the open or partly open lands of Auckland, Marlborough, Nelson, Otago, and Southland show a smaller increase. The table shows that the expenditure in newly settled districts has been three-fourths of the whole, while the older settlements have had new and better roads only to the extent of one-fourth of the outlay during the past seven years. For the current year a slightly greater sum is required, but the amount now asked for will, it is feared, be a disappointment to many by its smallness, and I am within the mark in saying that it would take over a million pounds sterling to meet the demands that have been made for roads, bridges, and other similar works. A large proportion of the available funds is again required for the North Island, and principally for Auckland, Taranaki, and Wellington, where men of very moderate means are striving to make homes in the roadless forests, and equally roadless open but rugged country. It is proposed to push forward vigorously the construction of the road from Stratford through to a connection with the railway - system in the Ohura country; to continue the Awakino Boad to a junction at Te Kuiti; to proceed steadily with the road through the Urewera country from Botorua to Waikareii—D. 1.

moana and G-isborne to the north, and Wairoa to the south; to carry on the construction of the Napier-Mohaka-Wairoa Coast Eoad, via Tutira Lake ; and to continue the road via Nuhaka from Wairoa to Grisborne. A large block of land for settlement, situated east of Dannevirke, is now in process of being roaded, and that work will be continued during the year. In Wellington the very large number of important roads to give settlers an outlet should be pushed forward, and the constructed roads metalled wherever possible. In the Middle Island a connection with the railway at Starborough, and roads through that estate, should be arranged for early. The maintenance and advancement of the main r,oads which are the chief means of communication on the West Coast must be attended to. A number of bridges in Canterbury and Otago are now in need of practical renewal, and, as this is evidently beyond the means of the local authorities, some provision is this year made for a few of them. The through road in the Tautuku Forest, from Owaka to Waikawa, should be metalled if the settlement of that land is to be successful. In Southland and Stewart Island new roads and bridges are required for advancing settlement in the west and on the east coast. For tourists and invalids some provision is made for increased accommodation and convenience at Eotorua, Te Aroha, and Hanmer.

BOADS ON GOLDFIELDS (MINES DEPAETMENT). The construction of roads and tracks by means of grants and subsidies, as intimated in my last Statement, will be continued. The vote for these purposes last year amounted to £98,092, the expenditure being £49,569, and the liabilities at the end of the.year £43,586. The amount proposed to be authorised for the current year is £99,561, on account of which a vote of £60,000 is asked for. DEVELOPMENT OF GOLDFIELDS. It is satisfactory to be able to state that the prospects of gold-mining are now generally of a more stable character than they were this time last year.

Some of the extensive development-works previously referred to have been completed, with the result that the production of gold is on the increase. This, it is anticipated, will continue as other development-works which have been entered upon are completed. The improvements in the construction of dredges, and the methods of obtaining gold from the auriferous drifts and beds of the rivers, creeks, and beaches in the Middle Island, to which attention has been specially directed in the Statement of my colleague the Hon. the Minister of Mines and the reports of the department, will, it is anticipated, add materially to the future gold-production of the colony. It may be of interest to honourable members to know that information in respect to dredging in this colony is frequently applied for by persons interested in the question in America and the Australian Colonies, and within the last few days an application has been received from the Government of British New Guinea for full information on the subject. The erection of the pumping plant at the deep-level shaft of the old Queen of Beauty Mine, which has been referred to in previous Statements, is now approaching completion, and it is expected that pumping operations will be commenced before the end of the year. The greater facilities for draining the lower levels of the mines at the Thames which this pumping plant will afford will, it is hoped, give a fresh impetus to gold-mining in that part of the colony. The question of w 7 ater-conservation on our goldfields is still being dealt with, and reports on the subject will be presented to Barliament by the Mines Department. Already a commencement has been made towards the conservation of water by the construction of a dam at West Eweburn, in the Maniototo County, which, it is estimated, will be capable of storing 250,000,000 gallons. This will supplement the supply from the Mount Ida Water-race to the extent of twenty-five Government heads a day. The annexed tables show that the sum expended last year on works for the development of the goldfields was £33,117, while the liabilities amounted to £7,135. A vote of £45,000 is proposed for the current year. PUECHASE OF NATIVE LANDS. During the past financial year the public landed estate has, through the operations of the Native Land Purchase Department, been increased by an area of 262,000 acres. In the King-country alone the Native Land Court sitting at Otorohanga, under Judge Gudgeon, has made 101 orders, vesting in Her Majesty in freehold tenure 302,506 acres, which are now under survey preparatory to being thrown open for settlement. The same Court has put under European title over 500,000 acres of the Bangitoto-Tuhua Block, leaving a little more than 100,000 acres still to be put under title before the Court closes its sittings. The proposed legislation in connection with Native lands will, if carried out, practically bring to a close within a limited period the acquisition by purchase of Native lands by the Crown under the present system. Instructions will'be given to the land-purchase officers to refrain from purchasing any interests in new blocks unless under exceptional circumstances, and to confine their efforts to winding up the present purchases and to getting titles to the land, so that the same can be thrown open for settlement at an early date. The vote proposed for the current year is £50,000. TELEGEAPH EXTENSION. The expenditure during the year under this head was £29,384. Of the wires constructed and extended, the following are the most important: New copper wires—Napier to Wanganui, Wanganui to New Flymouth, Blenheim to Dunedin; new iron wires—Waipapakauri, Kaeo to Totara North, Omanaia, Hikurangi to Hukerenui, Auckland to Whangarei, Mangapai to Maungakaramea, Onehunga to Mangere, Inglewood to Tarata, Toko to Strathmore, Dannevirke to Weber, Eketahuna to Hukanui, Mangaweka via Pemberton to Bangiwahia, Hutt via Day's Bay to Bona Bay, Belgrove to Wakapuaka, Ngahere to Blackball,

Lyndhurst, Ngapara to Tokarahi, Hyde to Kokonga, Clyde to Cromwell, Bannockburn to Nevis, Skipper's to Bullendale, and Hokonui to Hedgehope. Telephone Exchanges : A new multiple switchboard having an ultimate capacity for 4,800 subscribers has been fitted up in the Wellington Exchange. The total number of paying subscribers in the colony is now 5,478. The vote proposed to be asked for the present year is £32,000, which provides for additions to existing exchanges, the completion of the work now in hand, and new works to be undertaken, the more important of which are : The Auckland to New Plymouth line, Wnangapou to Opitonui, Dannevirke to Ti-tree, Ormond to Te Karaka, Te Karaka to Whatatutu, alteration of route Masterton to Waipukurau (three through wires), Collingwood to Bainham, Benwicktown to Kaituna, Belgrove to Tophouse, Ashburton to Buapuna and Mayfield, Waikari to Hawarden, Balclutha to Toiro and Warepa, Wairio to Wrey's Bush, Colac to Bound Hill, Drummond to Heddon Bush ; ten knots of new cable for stock, and a new multiple switchboard for the Auckland Exchange.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The expenditure in connection with our public buildings continues to maintain the late average, the amounts of the votes and the total amounts expended having varied very little during the last three years, as the following table will show: —
The appropriations proposed for the current year amount to £168,645 —namely, £126,420 under, the Public Works Fund and £42,225 under the Consolidated Bund. The principal works carried out last year, or provided for this year, are as follows: — Geneeal. The most important work under this head was probably the new Parliamentary Buildings. Honourable members will recollect that an amount of £7,000 was voted for the erection of a new library, in the Consolidated Fund estimates of last year. Owing to the lateness of the session, and the time necessarily consumed in preparing plans and specifications, and the time lost in inviting tenders, which proved to be much above the estimate, scarcely any expenditure came to charge against this vote before the 31st March last. The whole of the amount has since been expended, however, but will, of course, now become a charge against the vote of the current year. A special transfer of £25,000 is to be made from the Consolidated Fund to defray the cost of this work, and a vote for that amount has been provided on the estimates accordingly. It is well, perhaps, to state that in limiting the expenditure to £25,000 the proposal to have a three-story building has been abandoned. Immediately at the close of the present session work will be recommenced, and I fully expect to have the building finished and fitted up for the use of honourable members by the commencement of next session. The next most important work was the completion of the Government Printing Office, for which £9,000 was voted, and .on which £9,127 was expended. The building is now complete, and is occupied by the printing, binding, lithographic, and photographic staffs, and the additional space and convenience afforded is greatly appreciated. Some little expense has been incurred during the present year for machinery, fittings, and conveniences, and a vote of £2,000 is provided in the estimates to cover this,

Another important work provided for last year was the additions to the south wing of the General Departmental Buildings at Wellington. Additional accommodation in these buildings was very urgently required, and has now r been provided. The amount expended on this work last year was £3,659, and a further vote of £1,000 is required this year to close accounts in connection with the matter. The extra office floor-space provided by these additions is equal to 5,200 square feet, while four large strong-rooms have been provided in addition. Besides the improved convenience, a saving in rent of £675 per annum has been effected. The Government Houses at both Auckland and Wellington have been renovated internally and externally. The expenditure on the former during last financial year amounted to £307, and on the latter to £1,334, while further votes to the amount of £3,500 and £2,050 respectively are proposed this year to complete the work. The houses having been renovated, it was also necessary that the furniture and fittings should be looked to. The greater part of the furniture requires renewing, having deteriorated very much since the passing of " The Governor's Salary and Allowances Act, 1873." A good deal in this direction has already been done, but more remains to be done. In this connection the stringent conditions of the Act just referred to have been found to be very restrictive. . It is, therefore proposed to make provision for the furnishing of the Government Houses, so as to remove the difficulty which the Auditor-General at present experiences in passing expenditure vouchers. Judicial. A good number of buildings under this head have been dealt with during the year. Those on which the principal expenditure, has been incurred are as follows : — Courthouses. —New buildings at Marton, Palmerston North, and Mosgiel; and additions or renovations at Auckland and Beefton. Gaols.' —The only work on which any large expenditure has taken place has been the new gaol at Dunedin, on which an amount of £4,641 was spent during the year. The building is now complete and occupied, and it is proposed to utilise the ground at present occupied by the old building as a site for the new law-courts. The other works in hand have been the new buildings at Mount Cook (Wellington) and Mount Eden (Auckland), on which the expenditure has been £691 and £369 respectively. Police-stations. —New buildings have been erected at Hikurangi, Coromandel, Moawhango, Eltham, Baetihi, Wellington (Thorndon and Manners Street), and South Dunedin. The principal works provided for under " Courthouses" this year are the proposed new law-courts at Dunedin, and new Courthouses at Eketahuna and Macrae's, and the completion of the Courthouse now in progress at Palmerston North. Under the item " Gaols " provision is made for carrying on the work at Mount Eden, and erecting a new Gaoler's house there; also for carrying on work about the grounds at Mount Cook, and a Gaoler's house at Clyde, &c. Under " Police-stations " a host of small matters are provided for, the only large item being the new police-barracks at Auckland. New stations are to be erected at Te Kuiti, Mokau, Opunake, Manaia, Feilding, Kaikoura, and Invercargill; new cells and other conveniences at Wellington; new cells at Christchurch ; and alterations and additions at Greymouth. Post and Telegeaph. The principal expenditure last year under the head of " Post and Telegraph " buildings was the purchase of a new site at the Bluff, and erection of new offices at Waitekauri, Waihi, Marton, and Ashhurst, and additions or repairs at Kuaotunu, Hawera, Wellington (Telephone Exchange), Wakapuaka, Hokitika, Geraldine, and Queenstown. The appropriation proposed for the current year is £8,425, the principal works provided for being new fire-proof store, Wellington, new post-offices at

Otahuhu, Mangaweka, Masterton, Peton'e, Newtown, Wakapuaka, Takaka, and Mosgiel, and additions and alterations at Auckland, Hamilton, Waitara, Lyell, Ashburton, Owaka, &c. Lunatic Asylums. The expenditure on our asylum-buildings is still very heavy, and must, I fear, continue so unless some change is made in the condition and administration of our lunacy laws. The present rate of increase in our asylum patients is over one hundred per annum, and if this is to continue it means that, in addition to maintaining our present institutions, an entirely new asylum as large as Porirua will be when completed, or as large as Sunnyside is now, must be erected every five years. This is, perhaps, a light in which the matter has not presented itself to honourable members previously. The expenditure on construction of asylum-buildings last year amounted to £14,129, more than half of this amount being spent at Porirua, and smaller sums at Auckland, Nelson, Sunnyside, &c. For the current year an expenditure of £20,000 is proposed, which provides for completing the work now in hand at Porirua, and for erecting a new two-story block, containing a females' dininghall on the ground-floor, with dormitories above, and connecting corridors and large general bath-room. This will provide sleeping-accommodation for ninetyeight inmates in addition to the conveniences referred to. The vote also provides for completing the new brick dormitory now in hand at Nelson, affording accommodation for fifty-six patients, and for the erection of a block of single rooms on the female side of the Auckland Asylum ; also for the completion of the auxiliary building at Seacliff, with sleeping-accommodation for eighty patients, and sundry other minor works. Schools. The amount voted. for school-buildings last year was £59,350 —namely, £25,000 under the Consolidated Fund, and £34,350 under the Public Works Fund. The expenditure amounted to £48,769 —namely, £24,905 under the Consolidated Fund, and £23,864 under the Public Works Fund. This year we ask for a total vote of £73,400 —namely, £25,000 under the Consolidated Fund, and £48,400 under the Public Works Fund. The vote of £13,000 for special school-buildings was not wholly expended, as the non-passing of the Technical Education Bill last session prevented the Government from fully carrying out their intentions as regards the establishment and equipment of technical schools and classes. Also, the difficulty of making an equitable distribution of the vote for schools in newly settled districts involved inquiries which prevented the expenditure during the year of the portion of the vote obtained for this purpose. lam pleased, however, to be able to state that an allocation has since been made. In addition to the ordinary votes which are intrusted to the Education Boards for expenditure, provision is made for the partial rebuilding of the Industrial School at Caversham, and for a new office at the Industrial School at Burnham. Both these works are very necessary—the former especially so, as the present school-building is in an advanced stage of decay, and cannot satisfactorily be maintained any longer. LIGHTHOUSES, HAEBOUE-WOEKS, AND HAEBOUE DEFENCES. The amount voted for lighthouses last year was £2,520, the chief item being the completion of the new light on Cape Palliser. The expenditure during the year amounted to £2,180. This year a vote of £4,220 is proposed, the principal item being the erection of the new lighthouse on East Island, East Cape. The vote for harbour-works last year amounted to £1,250 only, the principal works provided for being the continuation of the reclamation at Sticking Point, Lyttelton, and certain works necessary for the protection of Government property at Hokitika. A vote of £2,350 is asked for this year for the purpose of carrying on the works mentioned. Last year's, vote for harbour defences was £5,000, but only £2,547 was actually expended within the financial year, Important works for the effi-
D.-l
XV
cient defence of the Port of Auckland are now in progress, as well as other works at Wellington, Lyttelton, and Dunedin. A vote of £5,000 is proposed this year to defray the cost of these. Under the head of "Contingent Defence" a vote of £20,000 was passed last year, but only £10,360 was actually expended. The balance will come to book during the present year, together with considerable additional expenditure for the purchase of warlike stores of various descriptions. The vote proposed for the current year is £25,000. SUMMAEY AND CONCLUSION. The gross total of the votes now submitted to the House for approval is £1,127,640, as compared with a gross total of £1,036,755 last year. The actual expenditure last year was £884,313. I realise that honourable members may be disappointed if works the necessity for which they are fully acquainted with are either not provided for at all or a smaller vote proposed for them than could be desired. I must ask forbearance in this respect, claiming that after most careful investigation the Government have made the best allocation of the money at their disposal, irrespective of any consideration other than the general welfare of the colony.

During the year a total length of 37 miles 56 chains of railway was opened for traffic. The following table contains particulars of the sections: —
Appended hereto is a coloured diagram showing the length of railway opened each year since the commencement of the public works. Whangaeei-Kamo Eailway Extension. Hukerenui Section (11 miles 25 chains to 14 miles 57 chains ; length, 3 miles 32 chains). — The works on this line have been advanced so far that there is only a short length of platelaying to be finished, and it is anticipated that the whole section will be completely finished in about ten weeks. The works have been carried out by co-operative labour—about thirty-one labourers and seven artisans on the average having been employed on the section throughout the year. The land-plan survey for this section has been finished, and the plans are in course of preparation. As the result of a petition from the Hukerenui Village settlers for the extension of the line to 16 miles, a location survey of the line has been made up to this point, and plans and estimates for the completion of the line to 16 miles have been prepared ; the cost of the extension complete will be about £2,754. Nothing further has been done during the year re surveying the extension from Hukerenui to Kawakawa. Helensville Noethwaeds Eailway. Makarau Contract (43 miles 30 chains to 46 miles 36 chains ; length, 3 miles 6 chains). —The maintenance period On this contract expired on the 14th August last year. The contract was finished five years and a quarter after the time fixed for completion, the delay being due to the difficulty experienced in driving the tunnel. The contractors were Messrs. J. McLean and Sons. The fencing on the section has been completed by co-operative labour. Tahaheroa Section (46 miles 30 chains to 49 miles 54 chains; length, 3 miles 24 chains). —Many of the pegs having been destroyed by fire, it was found necessary to resurvey the line. After this was done the work of construction was begun in June last by co-operative parties. There are now about thirty-six men employed on the works. Komokoriki Section (49 miles 54 chains to 56 miles ; length, 6 miles 26 chains). —This section was surveyed some time ago, and work can be begun at any time. Kaihu Valley Eailway. No construction-work has been done on this line during the year. Geahamstown-Tb Aeoha Eailway. Puriri-Paeroa Section (9 miles to 19 miles 20 chains; length, 10 miles 20 chains). —The formation and fencing of this section was done by contract about twelve years ago, but the peat in the ormacion was in a great measure destroyed by fire or lost by subsidence. The line has for the most part been reformed and the bridges built. The platelaying has been done, and the most of the ballasting done. The fencing is being restored, and the buildings are being put up. Eopu-Puriri Section (4 miles to 9 miles ; length, 5 miles). —This section also was formed and fenced about twelve years ago, but the formation-works in the swamps had almost disappeared. The bridges have been finished and the formation restored. The platelaying and the ballasting are well in hand. Thames-Kopu Section (0 mile to 4 miles; length, 4 miles). —This section was completed, with the exception of the station-buildings, about thirteen years ago. Extensive repairs and renewals are required to all the finished works on the main line and in the station-yards. It is anticipated that all the works on this line will be finished by the end of the present year, so that trains may be run, though the station-buildings may not be quite finished. Noeth Island Main Teunk Eailway. North End. Mokau-Poro-o-tarao Section (34 miles 43 chains to 49 miles 7 chains; length, 12 miles 43 chains). —This section was finished in 1896, but has not been handed over to the Working Eailways Department. It has been kept in a good state of repair during the year at a cost of £571. The land-plans of this section have been completed, and a telephone-line has been constructed from Otorohanga to Poro-o-tarao. Ohinemoa Section (49 miles 6 chains to 54 miles 7 chains; length, 5 miles 1 chain). —The works of formation are now in progress on this section for the first 3J miles, the earthwork being, about one-fourth finished, while the bush-work has been finished on the first 2 miles.

earthworks are heavy, and serious slips have taken place, or are threatening, and may yet be more serious, owing to the treacherous nature of the country through which the line must pass. A deviation of the line has been located from 53 miles 51 chains to 56 miles 60 chains; two crossings of the Ongaruhe Eiver will be avoided, and some heavy country which would likely have given great trouble through slips, &c, will be avoided, but the line will be about 50 chains longer. The land-plans are in hand, but various alterations will have to be made owing to minor alterations made to avoid slips. South End. Makohine Section (22 miles 40 chains to 33 miles 40 chains; length, 11 miles). —Some felling, clearing, filling, and gravelling has been done at 23 miles 40 chains to give room for buildings and stacking ground required for the manufacture of the Makohine Viaduct. The bank at the north end of the viaduct has been completed to within a short distance of the north abutment. The Powhakaroa Tunnel was completed in January last. It is lined throughout with concrete ; its length is 600 yards. To complete the formation of the section there is only the short tunnel at 33 miles to be finished. Only the heading of this tunnel is done ;it has yet to be enlarged to full size and be lined; its length is 121 yards. The grades between 32 miles and 33 miles have to be modified to provide an increased length of level for the Mangaweka Station. There will be considerable work required to be done to make the slopes of the cuttings safe between 32 miles 40 chains and 33 miles 40 chains. Makohine Viaduct, at 24 miles 42 chains. —The four large concrete base-blocks to carry the two steel and wrought-iron piers have been finished, and the construction of the two smaller piers and the abutments is well advanced. The foundations of piers C and E had to go considerably deeper than was originally contemplated to get secure foundations. The excavations for the foundations were seriously retarded by the extremely wet weather which prevailed from March to November of last year. The iron and steel for the construction of piers C and D and for the centre span and cantilevers have been delivered at the workshop-site, and the machinery for manufacture is now nearly all in position. The manufacture of the superstructure has been much hindered by the delay in the delivery of the machine tools by the English contractors owing to the engineers' lock-out. Mangaweka Section (33 miles 40 chains to 40 miles 40 chains ; length, 7 miles). —The construction of the larger culverts was begun in November as soon as the dry weather permitted the carting of materials to be started. All the principal culverts have been completed, and most of the cuttings have been put in hand. Advantage has been taken of the very dry season to cart the plant and material on to the works that will be required for carrying on the works during the winter. Paengaroa Section (40 miles 40 chains to 43 miles 40 chains ; length, 3 miles). —The felling and clearing of the bush on this section has been finished. Land-plans. —The survey for land-plans (23 miles 16 chains to 33 miles 40 chains) has been done and plans prepared, but they have not yet been passed by the Chief Surveyor. Wellington-Woodville Eailway. Eketahuna-Woodville Section (26 miles 55 chains long). —-A portion of this section, from Pahiatua to Mangatainoka Station, 3 miles 30 chains long, was opened for traffic on the 29th July last, and the portion from Mangatainoka to Woodville, 5 miles 76 chains, was opened for traffic on the 11th December last; and the whole of the works on the section were completed by the end of February of this year. Midland Eailway. Belgrove Section (21 miles 35 chains to 26 miles 71 chains ; length, 5 miles 36 chains). —This section was maintained during the year. Motupiko Section (26 miles 71 chains to 29 miles 20 chains ; length, 2 miles 29 chains). —The rails were linked in on the first mile of this section by the end of April, the bridge at 27 miles 71 chains was finished by the end of June, and a large number of willows planted along the line for protection against flood-scour. Motueka Section (29 miles 20 chains to 30 miles 58 chains; length, 1 mile 38 chains). —The formation-works on this section were finished about December last. The line is now fenced to 31 miles. The bridge at 29 miles 45 chains will be finished in August. A considerable amount of willow-planting has been done on this section. The formation-works for the Motupiko Stationyard (30 miles 58 chains to 31 miles) are well advanced. All the sleepers required to complete the line to 31 miles are delivered. The line should be ready for goods traffic in November next. Springfield Section (0 mile to 6 miles ; length, 6 miles). —To complete this section a viaduct of three spans of 33 ft., one span of 54 ft., and five spans of 80ft., on iron and steel piers, has to be built. The foundations and end piers were put in by the Midland Eailway Company. Considerable repairs, &c, are required to be done to the formation-works. The permanent-way has yet to be laid from 4 miles 75 chains to 6 miles, and the fencing from 5 miles onwards has yet to be done. Plans for the viaduct are being prepared. Mount Toriesse Section (6 miles to 18 miles; length, 12 miles). —The construction-works on this section were begun in March last. A service road has been formed and in part gravelled from Patterson's Creek to 9 miles 42 chains. This was a costly piece of work on account of the roughness of the gorge. A branch road has been made down to the Waimakariri Eiver, near 7 miles 16 chains, to enable supplies of sand and gravel to be got. The necessary buildings for store, shops, magazine, &c, have been erected. A deviation survey was made from 6 miles 27 chains to 7 miles 38 chains to improve the location of the line, and several cuttings from 6 miles 11 chains to 7 miles 30 chains have been put in hand, as also the concrete and pipe culverts. The number of men now employed is 116. 13—D. 1.

Otira Section (32 miles 15 chains to 37 miles 75 chains from Stillwater, and 12 miles 21 chains to 6 miles 8 chains from Arthur's Pass ; a length of about 12 miles 7 chains, including deviations).— The formation has been completed on about 9£ miles of this length, also nearly all the culverts. For considerable distances the works have been temporarily protected by fascines until sufficient stone can be quarried and deposited to give a more permanent protection. A locomotive is now employed in hauling stone for protecting the banks. Two quarries are being worked to supply the stone. Two steam-cranes and a number of hand-derricks are also employed for loading the wagons. Considerable damage has been done to the unfinished work by exceptional floods. The shifting of the channel of the Otira Eiver is a source of anxiety and trouble. Heavy slips at the sources of the Otira and Bolleston Eivers have supplied enormous quantities of shingle, which is being brought down stream by floods, and is causing great alterations in the course of the river along the line of railway. The heavy rains which caused the floods also caused heavy slips along the line of railway under construction. It has been found necessary to put in a stop-bank at 11 miles to divert the river back to its old channel. About 5 miles of permanent-way materials have been delivered at Greymouth; a large portion of it is now on the works, and about 2 miles of the permanent line is laid for the transport of stone for protective works. A Stationmaster's house has been built at the station at Aicken's Flat, and also a carpenter's shop, smithy, &c. A platelayer's cottage has been built at Kelly's Creek. Otago Central Bailway. Hyde-Kyeburn Section (56 miles 20 chains to 77 miles 30 chains; length, 20 miles 70 chains). — A portion of this section, about 10 miles long, from Hyde to Kokonga, was opened for traffic on the Ist October last year. The formation is now practically completed up to 77 miles 30 chains, including the Banfurly Station-yard, a distance of 11 miles 10 chains beyond the present terminus of the opened line. The bridge over the Taieri Biver at 71 miles 30 chains, consisting of four spans of steel lattice girders 80 ft. long, supported on two concrete abutments and on three cylinder piers, is very nearly finished, being more than a year over the contract time. The bridge over the Hogburn at 72 miles 43 chains, consisting of six spans of 22 ft. steel-plate girders, is finished. A timber overbridge at 72 miles 59 chains was also completed during the year. The platelaying is finished up to 71 miles 23 chains, a short distance from the Taieri Biver. All the material for the station-buildings at Waipiata has been obtained, and the erection of the various buildings is now being carried out by co-operative contracts.

APPENDIX F.
EEPOET OP THE CHIEF INSPECTOE OF MACHINEEY.
The Chief Inspector of Machinery to the Under-Secretary for Public Works. Sir, — Office of the Chief Inspector of Machinery, 31st March, 1898. I have the honour to submit my annual report on the working of "The Inspection of Machinery Act, 1882," during the financial year ended the 31st March, 1898. A very good year's work has been accomplished, and the arrears are now all but wiped off. A large increase of new machinery has to be recorded, the most of it being for mining purposes. The boilers and engines have, for the most part, been imported from Great Britain and America, which militates against the manufacturers and tradesmen in the colony. Every boiler and engine imported means a loss of weeks of good skilled employment, and prevents engineers in the colony making permanent additions and improvements to their plant, as it would not pay to have this extra costly machinery standing idle. This is to be regretted not only owing to the non-employ-ment of tradesmen and loss of business to employers, but also on account of the education that our rising engineers lose while serving their apprenticeship through this high-class machinery not being made here. This is a matter that should be looked into. The whole of the imported boilers and machinery could be made in the colony, in my opinion, not only to equal, but perhaps to exceed in usefulness, the imported article, as the local requirements are better known to those interested in the colony. I would again call attention to the necessity of gas- and oil-engines being brought under the Inspection of Machinery Act. Several accidents to life and limb having occurred during the year in manufactories where this class of machinery has not been inspected, and as these engines are generally used in places where the work is intermittent, and are now numerous, I think that something should be done to have inspection made compulsory. Permit me again to point out the necessity for all boiler-attendants being certificated, so as to insure safety to the public and to those engaged at work in the vicinity of boilers. The certificates should be of two grades —first and second—the first grade being the highest, and would be granted, after examination, to those in charge of large works, such as woollen-mills, freezing-works, &c.; and the second, to those in charge of less complex and smaller engines and machinery. The system works very well in Victoria, and is worthy of adoption in New Zealand. The method of boiler-inspection is now uniform throughout New Zealand, the latest Board of Trade rules being used. Nothing is left to rule of thumb or local opinion. The Board of Trade has the very best means of ascertaining by observation and experiment the qualities of the material of which boilers are made, both at manufactories where made and after manufacture. We have no such means in New Zealand, and on that account should adopt the highest standard. During the year a dispute arose regarding the construction of an imported boiler, which was objected to by a New Zealand Inspector. The Engineer-in-Chief of the Board of Trade in London was asked to give his opinion thereon. He upheld the decision of the New Zealand Inspector, and the boiler referred to was altered to suit our standard. Explosions in New Zealand traceable to faulty construction of boilers have up to the present, I believe, never occurred, and this in itself should be a sufficiently high eulogium to satisfy the most bitter enemy of compulsory inspection. The very fact of explosions hardly ever occurring may perhaps give some the impression that there is nothing in it; but, as a matter of fact, however, the discoveries made, although only a year elapses between inspections, show that if neglected they would have led to many disasters that would no doubt have caused much loss of life and destruction of property. During the year 3,261 boilers were inspected and certificates issued for them, and the machinery attached all attended to. The guarding of machinery in motion is an important part of the Inspector's work, more especially where gearing and revolving shafting is near a thoroughfare. Sometimes additions are made without the owner informing the Inspecter, which have caused accidents to happen ; but this neglect does not often occur. Three hundred and twenty water-powers, including hydraulic lifts, were inspected. There were 315 new boilers, of 4,168-horse power, started during the year—lB3 made in the colony, and 132 were imported, and include the following classes: Portable, traction, locomotive (return, water, Cornish, and vertical tubular), and marine, which shows a large increase on former years, and bears testimony to the progress and present prosperity of the colony. I regret to have to record several accidents to life and limb through machinery (three of which terminated fatally). Full reports of all are appended. The special attention of all owners of machinery in motion is directed to the necessity of their employes wearing suitable clothing while at work, and more especially the discarding of long aprons and long coats, and that all girls should have their hair done up in a net, and not hanging down their backs. No accident to life or limb, or explosion of any sort, took place during the year in connection with boilers, which is a very satisfactory record. In the latest report of the Board of Trade London, dated January, 1898, for the year ending the 30th June, 1897, the total number of cases dealt with under the British Board of Trade Boiler Explosions Acts was eighty, and by these explosions twenty-seven persons were killed and seventy-five injured during the year. This represents 102 persons killed and injured, and exceeds the average (90-5) for the fifteen years during which the Act of 1882 has been in operation by about 16—D. 1.

12-7 per cent. Of the eighty cases dealt with, twenty-eight were attributed to the defective condition of the boiler or of its fittings, thirty-three to defective design, workmanship, material, or construction, or to undue working-pressure, and twelve to ignorance or neglect of the attendants. Mr. A. McVicar was appointed an additional Inspector of Machinery, and commenced on the Ist April, 1897. During the year he has assisted, when required, all over New Zealand, and has helped us to cope with the natural increase of work and the pulling-up of arrears, as well as filling a gap in a district while an Inspector was on holiday leave. Thanks are due to the officers of both the Police and Postal Departments, who have materially assisted in the enforcement and carrying-out of the details of the work during the year. The survey of steamers, and examination of sea-going engineers, forms a large part of our work, and pretty well occupies the whole of the time of one Inspector at the Ports of Auckland, Wellington, and Otago. The report on this is fully detailed in the Marine Department statement for the year ending the 31st March, 1898. Appended are particulars of work in detail numbered from 1 to 11 : (1) Number and class of boilers inspected, fees payable on these boilers and machinery, class and number of engine-drivers' certificates issued, and fees payable therefor; (2) different classes of machinery inspected and motive-power used; (3) return of defects found on inspection of boilers; (4) return of notices given to repair boilers; (5) return of notices given to fence dangerous parts of machinery ; (6) accidents which were not fatal; (7) accidents which proved fatal; (8), (9), (10), and (11), names of all candidates to whom certificates of service and competency as engine-drivers have been granted during the year. I have, &c, Eobert Duncan, Chief Inspector of Machinery.

Parker, Lamb, and Co., Auckland Sawmill John Parker, aged 45 Flesh wound Parker, while attending to a circular saw in motion, allowed his hand to slip, and his arm coming in contact with the saw, was severely cut. Pure accident. Preston, while sweeping sawdust off the circular saw bench with his hand, was caught by the revolving saw, and lost a finger of his right hand. Pure carelessness. Thyne was engaged at the blocking-press, when he inadvertently placed his hand too far beyond the table of press, and was caught by gearing at back. The wheels were not guarded, but should have been; but, as the machinery was driven by gas-engine, over which the Inspector has no jurisdiction, this workshop had not been visited by an Inspector of Machinery. Notice to fence wheels was verbally given after accident. Paget had just started the engine whioh drives the stone-breaker, and stood on the platform to feel the eccentric, when his jumper-sleeve, being loose, wound on end of crank-shaft and drew him in. He was taken to the hospital, but resumed work in a few days. The accident was attributable to carelessness.

Name and Address of ,' r. \ Owner. Description of Machinery. Name aud Age of Person injured. Nature of Accident. Cause of Accident, and Remarks. B. W. Martin and Co., Auckland Hydraulic lift.. Bobert Sloane, aged 22 Head severely crushed Sloane was found dead, his head being jammed in between the lift and groundfloor. It is supposed that he was reaching into the well to remove a ladder that had been left there when he was caught by the lift as it came down. Inquest verdict, " Accidental: no blame attached to any one." Woods was found dead. It was his duty to attend this mill, and at the time of the accident was wearing a long coat, and when found clothing and body were rolled tightly round revolving-shaft, which was only making some eighteen revolutions per minute. The machinery is of the simplest nature, and the accident was no doubt due to the long coat first getting entangled in the shafting, and carelessness on the deceased's part in not taking due care while the machinery was in motion. Cassidy had nothing to do with the gasengine where his body was found, but was drawn in by his apron getting entangled with shaft. There was a narrow space between the engine and wall of building through which he had attempted to go when he was caught by machinery. He died two days after accident. Verdict, " Accidental death." Had an Inspector visited this place prior to accident this shaft would have been fenced, but Inspection of Machinery Act does not take in gas-driven machinery. Waitekauri Goldmining Company, Waitekauri Ball - mill in quartz-orush-ing mill Thomas I. Woods, aged 16 Parts of body severely crushed L. B.
