PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT BY THE HON. W. HALL-JONES, MINISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS, 16th SEPTEMBER, 1902.
Mb. Speaker,— I have much pleasure in laying before honourable members my seventh annual Public Works Statement. The work of railway-construction has been carried on with considerable vigour. My colleague the Acting-Premier has already drawn attention in his Financial Statement to the fact of last year having been a record one as regards the proportion of the vote expended within the year. Only ,£Bl3 remained unexpended at the close of the year, and I am not aware of any previous instance of the unexpended balance of the vote having been so small. The railway-construction work in hand since my last Statement was delivered has amounted to over 200 miles, and during the same period 29| miles have been completed and handed over to the Eailway Department for ordinary traffic. In addition to this, 36J miles is now being used for conveying settlers' produce and merchandise; and rails are also laid upon a further 26 miles, still leaving a considerable length of formation in hand. In the early part of the year the number of men employed was greater than in any previous period since the inauguration of the co-operative system of working. The reason for this will be readily understood when it is borne in mind that for the year 1900-1 the total vote for railway-construction exceeded the amount for the previous year by £224,500. To enable full advantage to be taken of this increased authority from Parliament during the remaining months of 1900-1 and the early part of 1901-2, the number of men was largely increased. The number employed in July, 1901, was 3,337, as compared with 1,742 in July of the previous year. As the summer of 1901 advanced it became necessary to make considerable reductions in order to keep within the vote authorised for the year 1901-2. For the purpose of enabling a comparison to be made between our rate of expenditure last year and that prevailing previously I have prepared the following table, which shows, as regards each several class of work, (a) the total expenditure to 31st December, 1890, (b) the similar expenditure between i -D. 1.
D.—l
1st January, 1891, and 31st March, 1902, (c) the gross total expenditure to 31st March, 1902, and (d) the expenditure for the late financial year: —
From this table it will be apparent that the present Government, while •fully alive to the needs of the colony in the important matters of railwayextension and providing suitable and convenient buildings for the use of the several Departments and services of the State, has lent a particularly attentive ear to the requests of the back-block settlers for roads and bridges to open up the rural districts of the colony, the expenditure on works of the character referred to during, the rather more than eleven years' term of office of the present Administration having exceeded the rate of expenditure previously prevailing by over 17 per cent., notwithstanding that the total expenditure on public works of all classes during the same period shows a decline of over 37 per cent. WAYS AND MEANS AVAILABLE FOR PUBLIC WORKS PURPOSES. At the 31st March, 1901, the ways and means of the Public Works Fund amounted to £1,032,515, and further sums were provided as under : — £ Of the loan of 1901 (£1,250,000) the amount received was ... 1,062,667 . Transferred from revenue ... ... ... ... ... 500,000 There were also miscellaneous receipts to the amount of £2,129, thus making a gross total of £2,597,311. The expenditure last year amounted to £2,143,252, so that at the close of the year the balance remaining was £454,059; and it is proposed to provide additional funds as follows:— £ Balance of 1901 loan, less cost of raising, say ... ... .. 99,333 New loan, 1902 ... ... ... ... ... ... 1,750,000 Further transfer from revenue ... ... ... ... 200,000 This will bring our total ways and means up to £2,503,392. The estimates of expenditure for the current year total to £2,193,052 (in addition to £45,000 under the Government Loans to Local Bodies Account), thus leaving an unallocated balance of £310,340. • RAILWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Before detailing the various works that have been in hand, a few words in reference to the amount that is being spent on railway-construction in New Zealand, as compared with some of the other colonies, may not be out of place. I believe a feeling exists in the minds of some persons that we have gone, or

are going, rather far in the matter of providing railway facilities for our settlers, or, at any rate, that our expenditure is out of proportion to the smallness of our population. The Government does not hold this view, and a study of the following table will probably tend to remove any misapprehensions on the subject:—
Table showing the Population per Mile of Railway and the Expenditure on Railways opened for Traffic per Head of the Population in the undermentioned British Colonies.
From the above it will be seen that, with the exception of Tasmania, New Zealand's expenditure on railway-construction per head of the population is the lowest in the Australasian or South African Colonies. We must consider the necessities of our settlers, and provide facilities for conveying the product of their labour to market at the 1-west possible cost. We cannot ignore the loss that has occurred in the past by the destruction of valuable timber owing to the absence of means of conveying that necessary article to the centres of population; and, instead of too hastily diminishing our expenditure, we ought to complete our main lines of communication and steadily proceed with the other works now in hand. It was this view of the case that induced the Government to propose larger appropriations for railway purposes during the last five or six years, and the same view actuates me in submitting my present proposals. Our total expenditure on railway-works (not including additions to open lines) during the last twenty years has been as follows :— £ i £ £ I £ 1882-83 ... 318,387 ! 1887-88 ... 347,539 1892-93 ... 208,282 1897-9 i ... 194,869 1883-84 ... 367,495 11888-89 ... 216,650 1893-94 ... 168,262 1898-99 ... 194,260 1884-85 ... 451,187 1889-90 ... 184,049 1894-95 ... 171,236 1899-1900... 199,580 1885-86 ... 335,789 1890-91 ... 167,093 1895-96 ... 158,618 1900-1 ... 392,691 1886-87 ... 321,629 1891-92 ... 120,729 1896-97 ... 142,514 1901-2 ... 560,712 I will now give a brief sketch of the several railway-construction works which have been in progress since my last Statement was made. Kawakawa-Grahamtown. Wprk has been in hand at both ends of this line—viz., at the north end between Kawakawa and a point eight miles southwards, and in the south between Opau Wharf and Grahamtown; while a survey party has also been at work locating the position of the unconstructed section in the middle. The formation and bridges on the first five miles at the northern end are finished, and the rails laid on four miles and a half—viz., to the point where the ballast-pit line runs off. This latter line, which is a mile and three-quarters long, has also been formed, and the laying of the rails upon it is now in progress. The formation of the balance of the eight-miles section of the main line is about three parts done. At the southern end earthworks have been started, but no great progress has been made, as there is no object in pushing the earthworks at this end until the contractors for the Whangarei Bridge have made some headway with their work. The contract for this bridge was let in May last to Messrs.

Fraser and Co., of Dunedin, for the sum of £6,788. The total length of the structure is 970 ft., including one 30 ft. draw span, and the date fixed for the completion of the work is the 17th April next. The total expenditure on the railway last year, exclusive of the value of permanent-way materials supplied, was £9,327, but allowing for the permanent-way materials it amounted to £16,825. For the current year a vote of £20,000 is proposed. Helensville Northwards. Work on the Komokoriki Section has been continued. The excavation of the tunnel has been completed and also the lining of same, and the formationworks are practically finished up to Ahuroa, 2 miles 53 chains beyond the tunnel. Platelaying has been resumed, and on completion the ballasting will be taken in hand. A survey party has been engaged in locating the extension of the line beyond Ahuroa, and about ten miles have now been fixed, and trial lines run for two or three miles in addition. The question was raised by some local residents as to whether the route by the Hoteo Valley would really be the best for the construction of this railway, and with the view of setting this point at rest a careful examination was made of the Dome Valley and the western (or Green's Creek) routes, but both were found to be inferior to the original surveyed route by the Hoteo Valley, and the line has accordingly been located across the Kaipara Flats to that valley and on by that route towards Wellsford. " The Eailways Authorisation Act, 1901," sanctioned the construction of this railway as far as Wellsford. It is proposed to provide for the further extension to Maungaturoto in the current year's Authorisation Bill. Owing to bad weather interfering with the progress of the survey, fieldwork had to be discontinued recently, but will shortly be resumed. The expenditure on this line during the year considerably exceeded the vote obtained for it last session, having amounted to £18,218, or allowing for the per-manent-way materials issued to the line to £25,049. For the current year a vote of £20,000 is proposed. Paeroa-Waihi. Work on this line has been continued throughout the year, principally on the Karangahake Tunnel. Some very heavy ground has been met with, and progress has consequently been slow. The rails are laid from the junction with the Thames line at Paeroa to Karangahake. A ballast-pit has been opened out, and a quantity of rock quarried ready for crushing in the stone-breaker which has been procured for the purpose. Beyond the tunnel the formation is about half done for another mile and a quarter. The contractors for the Ohinemuri Bridge, Messrs. J. and A. Anderson, have cast the cylinders in their foundry in Christchurch, and have started work in connection with the abutments and piers at the site of the bridge. As soon as this bridge is completed so as to connect the Karangahake Station yard with the main road on the opposite side of the river it will be possible to open this section of the line for traffic. The expenditure last year w 7 as £18,324, or £24,993 allowing for the value of the permanent-way materials used. For the current year a'vote of £25,000 is asked for. Gisrorne-Karaka. A considerable amount of work was done on this line during the year, and the section from Gisborne Wharf to Ormond, lOf miles in length, whs handed over to the Kailway Department and opened for traffic on the 26th June last. For two miles and a quarter beyond Ormond the formation is complete and the rails laid, and for nearly another half-mile the formation is about half done. This brings the line to the site of the Waipaoa Bridge, tenders for which are now being invited. This bridge will be 560 ft. in length, and its erection will probably occupy nearly a year and a half. Beyond the bridge-site, survey-work has been undertaken, and the pegs are now in as far as Karaka, and
IV

the plans for the extension have been prepared. This line is only authorised as far as the left bank of the Waipaoa River, and it will therefore be necessary to make provision in the Railways Authorisation Bill of the present session for the extension from that point to Karaka. The expenditure during last year was somewhat heavy, having amounted to £20,556 without permanentway materials, or £27,381 inclusive of the latter. For the current year a vote of £20,000 is provided. Stratford-Kawakawa. The section of the above railway between Stratford and Toko, 6 miles 26 chains in length, the construction of which was only begun on the Ist April, 1901, was sufficiently advanced in June last to admit of goods traffic being carried over it. It has since been completed and handed over to the Railway Department for regular working, and was opened for public traffic on Coronation Day, the 9th ultimo. Exploration of a number of alternative routes beyond the Township of Toko has resulted in the selection of a line following the Ohura Road to about 11 miles. Beyond this point there is still a little doubt as to the route to be adopted. As the construction of this railway is somewhat of a new departure, being a light line, but on the New Zealand standard gauge, it will be of interest to honourable members to know what its cost has been. The expenditure to 31st ultimo on the 6 miles 26 chains section to Toko has amounted to £23,929, but some liabilities for land claims and a few other unsettled matters have yet to be met, which will probably amount to about £5,000, making a total cost of, say, £29,000, equal to £4,594 per mile, exclusive of rolling-stock, or £5,500 per mile including rolling-stock. The average cost of the New Zealand railways at date, including rolling-stock, is £8,159 per mile. The difference in this case is due partly to the easy nature of the country traversed, but largely, however, to the method of construction adopted. It is proposed that the further section of the line now to be undertaken between Toko and the end of the Oruru Section, at 11 miles, shall be of the same character. For the current year a vote of £15,000 is proposed. North Island Main Trunk. Very considerable work has been done on this line, the expenditure during the year having been the largest since the initiation of the work. For the information of honourable members I give the figures showing the amount expended on the line each year since the construction of the work began: — £ £ £ £ 1884-85 ... 2,441 1889-90 ... 23,594 1894-95 ... 34,624 1899-1900... 46,178 1885-86 ... 58,339 1890-91 ... 10,318 1895-96 ... 32,502 1900-1 ... 116,903 1886-87 ... 102,355 1891-92 ... 19,149 1896-97 ... 29,873 1901-2 ... 184,561 1887-88 ... 102,776 1892-93 ... 47,684 1897-98 ... 46,245 . 1888-89 ... 42,577 1893-94 ... 40,496 1898-99 ... 53,150 Total ... 993,765 As mentioned in my last year's Statement, regular traffic is carried on by the R ail way Department at the northern end of the line as far as the Poro-o-tarao Tunnel. From that point to Ongarue, a distance of rather more than fourteen miles, the line is complete and all station buildings provided. Goods traffic has been carried on over this length for some months, and the section is to be handed over to the Railway Department for regular working on the 13th of next month. Some heavy slips took place on this section in the early part of the year, which delayed the work considerably. The ground, however, seems now to be becoming more stable, and the slips are consequently less troublesome. The rails are also laid for eight miles beyond Ongarue, and the earthworks are fully three-fourths completed for a further distance of five miles, and about half done on another section of two miles and a half, which brings the line to Taumarunui. The bridge-work on this section is, however, much behindhand, due to the delay of the contractors for the manufacture of the iron and steel work.
D.—l
Formation - work is in hand up to the point where the railway will cross the Wanganui River, two miles and a quarter beyond Taumarunui, and a service road has been constructed for some distance on the south side of the river, so as to facilitate the construction of the railway. At the southern end of the line the most notable event to record is the practical completion of the Makohine Viaduct, which I had the pleasure of formally opening on the 17th June last. I take this opportunity of complimenting the officers of the Department who designed and superintended the erection of the work on the result of their labours. As this viaduct is a structure of unusual magnitude, it would probably be desirable to give some detailed information regarding it. A viaduct at this point could only have been avoided by a line following the Makohine and joining the present line near Mangaweka, but the country was so rough that this route was at once condemned. It could only have been much diminished in magnitude by adopting a line located along the steep slopes adjacent to the coach-road. The formation-works involved in this alternative were too costly and the ground was considered to be too treacherous to justify its adoption ; besides, steeper grades and sharper curves than those allowed on the North Island Main Trunk Railway would have been necessary, and this would have reduced the carryingcapacity of the line. After very careful consideration the location of the railway across the gorge was decided upon, involving a viaduct 765 ft. long and 238 ft. from the bed of the stream to the rail-level. The height from the bottom of the foundations to the top of the hand-rail is 254 ft. There are 7,430 cubic yards of concrete, about 1,252 tons of steel and iron, and 26,560 superficial feet of timber in the structure. The viaduct is designed to carry locomotives weighing up to 85 tons, followed by heavy trains. The Government decided that the Public Works Department should carry out the erection of the structure by its own staff in May, 1896. The order for the machinery was sent in November following, but unfortunately the great engineers' strike occurred shortly after it reached England, and the execution of the order was consequently greatly delayed, the last shipment not coming to hand until June, 1898. The machinery was all erected and the manufacture of the steelwork begun by September, 1898, and the erection of the piers was commenced in April, 1900, so that the erection of the structure has occupied about two years. The first train crossed the viaduct on the 6th June last. The cost of the structure, including a due proportion of the cost of the plant and machinery, has been about £71,500, but, as the painting has been left over for a time, and a few small finishing works have yet to be done, the total cost will probably reach £72,000. This includes a large amount of work in the foundations and superstructure over and above w r hat was provided for when tenders were invited. Beyond the viaduct good progress has been made with the formation of the line and in connection with the other bridges and viaducts. The present position of the work at the southern end of the railway is as follows : The line to Mangaweka is practically finished, and will probably be handed over to the Railway Department for regular traffic during the present month. It has been in daily use for goods traffic since the Ist instant. Between Mangaweka Station and the site of the viaduct over the Mangaweka Stream the formation is complete, and the rails are being laid, and will reach the viaduct site by the end of the present month, when the transporting of the iron and steel work for the structure will be begun and the building-up proceeded with. The abutments, piers, and foundations are already built. Between Mangaweka and Taihape the formation is nearly complete, except three unfinished tunnels, which are actively in progress. Beyond Taihape the formation is well advanced for about five miles, and ground has been broken for another eleven miles, or as far as sixty miles from Marton Junction. The total expenditure on the line last year was £155,979, or £184,561 allowing for the value of the permanent-way materials issued. This constitutes
VI
D.—l
a record, being the largest amount expended on the line in any one year since its inception. For the current year a vote of £250,U00 is proposed. Blenheim- Waipara. The northern end of this railway, from Blenheim to Seddon, is practically finished, the section between Blenheim and Dumgree, 13 miles 21 chains, having already been inspected and passed as safe and fit for public traffic, while the remaining section between Dumgree and Seddon, 2 miles 18 chains, only awaits the completion of the wind-screen on the Awatere Bridge and the station buildings at Seddon. Both works will probably be finished within a few weeks, when the line will be handed over to the Railway Department for regular traffic. At the southern end the work is proceeding satisfactorily. The earthworks on the first fifteen miles—namely, from Waipara to Skargill—are finished, and the rails are also laid, ten miles of ballasting completed, and a start made with the station buildings. The line will be sufficiently forward to admit of the ensuing season's wool-clip being carried over it, and will be ready to hand over to the Railway Department for regular working during the summer. A tender for the supply of the iron and steel work for the Burunui Bridge has been accepted. The concrete piers and abutments will be carried out by the Department. The total expenditure on the Blenheim-Waipara Railway last year, exclusive of the value of permanent-way materials issued to the line, was £48,382, or, inclusive of the latter, £65,823. For the current year an authorisation of £60,000 is proposed. MIDLANI'. Operations in connection with the Midland Railway were in progress in four different places last year. At the Nelson end of the line, between Motupiko and Tadmor, earthworks have been in hand and about seven miles have been nearly completed, and a contract has recently been let for the bridge over the Motueka River. The bridge is to be completed by the 23rd November, 1903, and will be available for road as well as railway traffic. Northwards from Reefton a survey has been in progress throughout the year, and is now nearly finished. A very good line has been obtained, the gradients and curves being well within the limits allowed. It will probably cost about £5,000 per mile on an average to construct. As regards the extension towards Canterbury from Otira, I mentioned in my last Statement that the Government was in communication with railway authorities of the highest standing in America with the view of obtaining a report from an American or Canadian engineer of eminence and experience in the construction of mountain railways. Since that Statement was delivered Mr. Virgil Gay Bogue, of New York, has visited the colony, and has made a careful inspection of the ground, and also familiarised himself with the various plans and other information in the possession of the Government, and has furnished two reports on the matter, which are printed as appendices to this Statement. Briefly summarised, Mr. Bogue's opinion is adverse to the six-mile tunnel project. While admitting that the gradient and curves obtainable on that line are probably better than can be got on any other, and that that line is also the shortest and most direct available, Mr. Bogue nevertheless thinks that the price we should have to pay would be too great for the advantages gained. He has not at present definitely advised the adoption of any particular line ; but the suggestions he makes are in the direction of employing a steeper gradient and materially reducing the length of the summit tunnel. To enable Mr. Bogue to express an authoritative and final opinion on the subject, further surveys are now being made, which will take some little ti so that it will be impossible to lay his matured opinion before the House during the present session. At the Canterbury end of the railway good progress has been made with the formation. The very heavy earthworks have been practically completed as far as Staircase Gully, or nine and three-quarter miles from Springfield, and a
VII
D.—l
VIII
good deal of work has been done beyond this point. Four out of the six tunnels on this section are finished, and the others are nearing completion. The manufacture of the ironwork for the Patterson's Creek viaduct has made considerable progress, and some of it has been delivered at the site, but no erectionwork has yet been done. As soon as the viaduct is out of the contractors' hands the rails can be laid right through to Staircase Gully, and the erection of the viaduct at that point can then be gone on with. Plans for this viaduct are now nearly ready, and tenders for its construction will be invited shortly. The total expenditure on the Midland Railway last year amounted to £66,391, and this year a vote of £100,000 is proposed. Ngahere-Blaokball . The construction of a branch line leaving the Midland Railway at Ngahere and running thence to the Blackball collieries was authorised last session. The most important work on the line is the large bridge over the Grey River, for which a tender has recently been accepted. This bridge will take at least eighteen months to erect, and the small amount of formationwork required can easily be carried out while the bridge is in course of erection. The Blackball Coal Company has entered into an agreement with the Crown by which the company undertakes to send traffic over this railway for a period of seven years sufficient to yield a gross freight between Blackball and Ngahere of not less than £1,500 per annum. A vote of £2,000 was taken for this railway last year, but only £117 was expended. This year a vote of £4,000 is proposed, which will probably be sufficient to meet the charges that will come to book before the 31st March next. Greymouth-Hokitika, Extension to Ross. This line also was authorised in the Railways Authorisation Act of last session. The first and most important work to be undertaken upon it is the erection of a bridge over the Hokitika River, and a tender for its construction has recently been accepted. The contract time for the completion of the structure is the 12th April, 1904. The survey of the line from the Hokitika Bridge site towards Ross was started in December last, and about ten miles of the permanent survey has now been finished. A trial line has been run over the whole distance. Forma-tion-works have also recently been started between 25 and 27 miles, measuring from Greymouth, or between 1 and 3 miles below Hokitika. A vote of £2000 was taken for this line last year, but only £355 was expended. For the current year an appropriation of £10,000 is asked for. Coal Creek. This is the line which will connect the State colliery with the Port of Greymouth. Its construction was commenced several years ago by the Grey-mouth-Point Elizabeth Coal Company, from which company the Government acquired it in June last. Since acquiring the railway the Government has been advised by its officers to abandon the terminus proposed by the late company, on the ground that it is not central to the coalfield. A survey of the deviation to the site which is considered best for the coal-bins has lately been made. The w r ork of completing the first three miles and a half of the railway commenced by the company has also been put in hand. The cost of completing this railway will be a charge on the State Coal-mines Account. Otago Central. A great deal of work was done on this railway last year, the total expenditure on the line having reached the very large sum of £103,273, which is the largest on record for this line. The Ida Valley section, 12 miles 24 chains in length, was completed and handed over to the Railway Department for regular working in December last. The heavy work in the Poolburn Gorge has made good progress. The formation of the first four miles is nearly finished, and the
D.—l
next three miles and a quarter—viz., to the first crossing of the Manuherikia River—is more than half done, and for a further distance of eight miles a large amount of work has been executed. The driving of the first tunnel in the gorge has been completed, and w T ork on the second is in hand and more than half done. Two of the piers for the Poolburn Viaduct are practically finished, and the steel superstructure is in course of delivery by the contractors, and the cylinders of the Manuherikia Bridge are being sunk. As already stated, the total expenditure on the line last year was £103,273, or, exclusive of the value of the permanent-way materials, £93,779. This year a vote of £100,000 is proposed. Heriot Extension. The formation-works on the first two miles and a half of this railway are nearly finished. After carefully considering the question of the route to be followed in the construction of this line, it has been decided to adhere to that already approved by Parliament—namely, by the Anquilla Stream to Edie Vale. The vote for this line last year was £5,000, and £4,056 was expended. For the current year we ask for a vote of £6,000. Catlin's River-Seaward Bush. Further progress has been made with the formation of the extension of this line at the Catlin's end, the work being well advanced over the whole length. At the Seaward Bush end further survey-work has been undertaken, which shows that the proposed route via Tokonui is three miles longer than the Waimahaka Valley route, and would be more costly to construct. The gradients and curves and the total height to rise and fall on the former route also compare unfavourably with the latter. Still further survey-work is necessary, however, before finally deciding on the precise route to be adopted, and it is proposed to place a survey party on the line again as soon as the winter is over. The appropriation for this railway last year was £12,000, but only £8,001 was expended. This year a vote of £15,000 is proposed. Riversdale-Switzers. A contract for a combined road and railway bridge over the Mataura River was let to Mr. A. Shaw, of Dunedin, in May last, and the bridge is to be finished within twelve months of that date. The contract does not include the road approaches. The vote for this railway last year was £1,000, but only £23 was expended. This year a vote of £3,000 has been provided. Orepuki- Waiau . Considerable progress has been made with the formation-works on this railway, the expenditure last year having exceeded the vote by £4,456. All the culverts are finished on the first four miles and a half, and the earthworks for the same distance are nearing completion, so that rail-laying can be taken in hand shortly. The expenditure on the line last year was £16,456. This year an appropriation of £15,000 is proposed. Total Appropriations for Railways. In addition to the sums already specifically mentioned, smaller appropriations, totalling to £4,000, are proposed for old land-claims and surveys of new lines, and £76,000 for permanent-way materials, thus bringing the total appropriations for railway-construction purposes up to £743,000. ii—D. 1.

ROADS, ETC. Roads and other Works under the Control of the Minister of Lands. The total amount authorised for the construction and maintenance of roads, bridges, and other works for the past year was £646,272, and the sum voted for expenditure £337,613. The net expenditure amounted to £335,317, with which sum 409 miles of engineering survey was made; 471 miles of dray-road, 206 miles of bridle-track, and 127 bridges, of a total length of 12,808 ft., were constructed; 785 miles of dray-road and 80 miles of bridle-road were improved ; and 2,535 miles of dray-road and 1,047 miles of bridle-road were maintained. It will be seen from the above figures that the Department expended within £2,296 of the amount voted; but, as this small balance was more than covered by accounts in course of* liquidation, the vote was practically exhausted, and if works had not been reduced in December and January last it would have been largely exceeded. The total amount authorised and voted under the Government Loans to Local Bodies Account was £46,577, and the net expenditure was £31,978, for which 170 miles of engineering survey was made, and 42 miles of dray-road, 61 miles of bridle-road, and 5 bridges, of a length of 201 ft., were constructed. There were also 63 miles of dray-road and 203 miles of bridle-road improved or maintained. It will be seen that the balance unspent on this vote was £14,599; but the moneys under it cannot be expended until they have first been raised under the Government Loans to Local Bodies Act, and it is not possible to do this until the lands have been set apart for settlement and other formalities observed. Taking these two accounts together, there was expended £62,611 more than in the previous year. The greatest expenditure was in the Auckland district, amounting to £97,920. Wellington district came next with £94 939 ; then Hawke's Bay, £39,357 ; Taranaki, £35,785 ; Southland, £27,196 ; Otago, £22,878; Marlborough, £17,474; Westland, £14,235; Nelson, £12,098; and Canterbury, £5,444. The expenditure has mostly been upon a very large number of small scattered works, the items on the appropriations representing 2,257 different works. The authorisations submitted for the current year (including £49,900 under Government Loans to Local Bodies Account) total to £598,612, on account of which votes are proposed as under :— Roads, Departmental... ... .. . ... ... 24,265 Roads, bridges, &c. ... ... ... ... ... ... 325,000 Tourist roads ... ... ... ... ... ... 10,000 Government Loans to Local Bodies Account ... ... ... 45,000 Making a total of ... ... ... ... ... £404,265 Votes for £4,995 and £5,612 are also proposed for Improved Farm Settlements and Lands, Miscellaneous, under Class XXXII. Roads on Goldfields, Mines Department. The vote last year under this head amounted to £84,783, the expenditure being £47,573, with liabilities at the end of the year amounting to £37,864. The sum proposed to be authorised for the current year is £120,719, on account of which a vote of £84,000 is asked for. DEVELOPMENT OP GOLDFIELDS AND MINING. As anticipated in the Statement of last year, the gold exported during the year 1901 exceeded that of the previous year, and was the highest for any corresponding period since 1873. The value of gold entered for export during 1901 was .£1,753,783, being an increase on the previous year of £314,181.
D.—l
The quantity of gold entered for export during 1901 was 455,561 oz., valued at £1,753,783, and of silver 571,134 oz., valued at £65,258; as compared with 373,616 oz. of gold, valued at £1,439,602, and of silver 326,457 oz., valued at £38,879, for 1900; being an increase of 81,945 oz. of gold, valued at £314,181, and 244,677 oz. of silver, valued at £26,379. The amount expended last financial year on works for the development of the goldfields was £15,325, while the liabilities amounted to £8,116. It is proposed to take a vote of £50,000 for the current year. TELEGRAPH EXTENSION. Under the head of telegraph extension the amount expended during the past year was £31,728. The following are the most important lines constructed during the year: Auckland to Doubtless Bay; Whangarei to Limestone Island; Auckland to Mahoenui; Auckland to Rotorua; Rotorua to Waiotapu; Strathmore to Huiakama; Kaponga to Awatuna; Wanganui to Mangamahu; Waipawa to Elsthorpe ; Rimu to Kokatahi; Kokatahi to Koiterangi; Yaldhurst to West iMelton; Christchurch to Akaroa; and Riverton to Orepuki. The vote asked for this year is £71,000, including £43,873 of liabilities on the 31st March last, to provide for additions to existing Exchanges, the completion of works now in hand, and also for sundry new works. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The total expenditure on public buildings last year amounted to £193,452 —namely, £47,852 under the Consolidated Fund, and £145,600 under the Public Works Fund. The increased expenditure is due to two causes—first, the expansion of settlement; and, second, to the more permanent and better class of buildings now erected. Practically all our larger buildings are now erected in brick or stone, whereas in times past wooden buildings were generally provided. For the current year a total appropriation of £288,370 is proposed —namely, £47,900 under the Consolidated Fund, and £240,470 under the Public Works Fund. 1 General. Under this head the expenditure amounted to nearly £17,000, the works being of a somewhat miscellaneous character, extending over the whole colony. For the current year a vote of £19,550 is asked for. This includes the payment of the award of the Compensation Court for the land taken for the proposed additions to the departmental buildings at Auckland, and also for making a commencement with the proposed enlargement of these buildings; also instalments on account of the partial reconstruction of the departmental buildings at Napier, the proposed new offices and laboratory for the Mines Department in Wellington, &c. Judicial. Courthouses. —New Courthouses have been erected or are in hand at Waihi, Opunake, Wellington, Outram, Dunedin, and Gore; additions or extensive renovations have been effected at Napier and Hokitika ; and minor additions or improvements at Ngaruawahia, Wairoa, Waipawa, Pahnerston North, Kurnara, and Invercargill. The completion of the new law-courts at Dunedin is worthy of special mention. This fine pile, of which illustrations appear at the end of this Statement, has cost altogether £21,600, including £1,300 for furniture and fittings. The principal works provided for in the vote for the current year are: New Courthouses at Hamilton, Levin, Wellington, Brightwater, Westport., and Orepuki; and additions, renovations, or improvements at Auckland, New Plymouth, Manaia, Hawera, Patea, Carterton, Christchurch, and Ashburton. Gaols. —The total expenditure under this head last year amounted to £2,796. Operations were continued at the new gaol at Mount Eden, Auckland. The Gaolers' houses at Wellington and Westport were practically completed, and renovations and repairs were made at Wanganui and Wellington. In the present year's vote provision is made for the continuation of operations at Auckland,
XI
D.—l
for going on with the proposed new prison at Invercargill, and also for Gaolers' residences at Auckland and Dunedin, warders' cottages at Lyttelton, and repairs, renovations, or improvements at Napier, Wellington, Hokitika, and Dunedin. Police-stations. —The principal works carried out under this heading were the erection of the new station-cells, &c, at Auckland. A number of smaller works have been in hand during the year, however, the principal items being as follows : New stations at Ongarue, Outram, Roxburgh, and Invercargill; new quarters at Waipawa and Timaru; and additions, renovations, or repairs at Aratapu, Clive, Waitara, Manaia, Hawera, Kimbolton, Wellington, Reefton, Cheviot, Christchurch, Southbridge, Glenavy, Waikouaiti, Ophir, and Lawrence. Post and Telegraph. New post-offices were erected at Aratapu, Hamilton, Onehunga, Kawhia, Tolago Bay, Gisborne, Weber, Toko, Inglewood, Opunake, Wanganui, Feilding, Eketahuna, Alfredton, Motueka, Denniston, Hanmer Springs, Sumner, Ashburton, Temuka, Mornington, Caversham, Naseby, and Gore. The terminal station for the new Pacific cable at Doubtless Bay was built ; quarters for Postmasters or other officers were provided at Auckland, Tarawera, and Kaikoura; and additions, alterations, or repairs were made at the post-offices at Auckland, Newton, Rotorua, Foxton, Wellington, Blenheim, Renwicktown, Christchurch, Lyttelton, Springston, Timaru, South Dunedin, and Cromwell. The principal items provided for in the vote for the present year are the purchase of the necessary land for the enlargement of the General Post Office, Wellington ; proposed additions to the post-office at Christchurch, and acquisition of site of same; an extensive addition to and rearrangement of the post-office at Dunedin; and the completion of the Doubtless Bay cablestation. Provision is also made for sundry new post-offices which are necessary for efficiently carrying on the working of the Department. Customhouses. The expenditure under this head last year was principally in connection with the erection of the new Customhouse at Timaru, and the completion of the additions at Wanganui. This year the only item of special consequence for which provision is made is the new Customhouse and site at Wellington, for which an authorisation of £10,000 (on account) is provided. Lunatic Asylums. The principal expenditure was again at Porirua. £2,120 was spent at Auckland, and £4,667 at Seacliff, Smaller amounts were expended at Wellington, Nelson, and Sunny side. For the current year provision is made for completing the additions to the Auckland Asylum, completion of works at Porirua, and additions at Nelson, Hokitika, Sunnyside, and Seacliff; and for the preliminary work in the erection of a new asylum upon a site yet to be selected. Schools. The amount voted for school-buildings last year was £91,000 —viz., £25,000 under the Consolidated Bund and £66,000 under the Public Works Fund. The expenditure amounted to £63,400 —viz., £24,793 under the former and £38,607 under the latter fund. Native schools were erected last year, or are in course of erection, at Kerepehi, Whareponga, Parawera, Takahiwai, Whangara, Mangonui, Torere, Omaio, and Tangoio; the Mawhitiwhiti School has been removed to Pariroa, and additions, repairs, and painting have been effected at Te Ahuahu and Te Waetu. This year we ask for a total vote of £91,500 —-viz., £25,000 under the Consolidated Fund, and £66,500 under the Public Works Fund. Provision is made for a grant to the Victoria College; also for an industrial school at Levin, and additions, &c, at the industrial schools at Auckland, Te Oranga, and Burnham, and for the new school for deaf-mutes at Sumner.

LIGHTHOUSES, HARBOUR-WORKS, AND HARBOUR DEFENCES. The expenditure on lighthouses last year was chiefly on the new lighthouse at Kahurangi Point. This year provision is made for a new lantern and tower at Cape Campbell, and for the continuation of works at Kahurangi. The principal expenditure on harbour-works was at Wairoa and on the Napier Spit protection-works. New wharves are provided for at Manukau Sand-spit, Orua Bay, Waiwera, Mercury Bay, Opotiki, Mokau, Pakawau, Bruce Bay, and Okuru; for the Spit encroachment-protection works at Napier, the improvements to the Collingwood Harbour, and the reclamation - works at Sticking Point, Lyttelton. A new examining-room and office is to be erected at Onehunga and some dredging w r ork done at the same place. The vote last year for harbour defences was £25,000, but the expenditure only amounted to £6,678. This year the amount proposed is £15,000. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION. In compiling this Statement and the estimates which accompany it every endeavour has been made to meet the necessary requirements of the colony. The total appropriations proposed for all purposes, exclusive of Government Loans to Local Bodies Account, amount to £2,193,052. Every reasonable effort will be made to put in hand the new works authorised as soon as the votes are passed, and to have them pushed forward as rapidly as circumstances will permit. I trust the foregoing information concerning the public works expenditure and the allocations for the present year will commend itself to honourable members. The progress and development of the colony is such that it is impossible to deal, within a limited period, with all the requirements which are placed before the Government, but the proposals now submitted will, I feel sure, be recognised as sufficient to meet the requirements for the current year.

During the year a total length of 12 miles 24 chains was opened for traffic. The following table contains particulars of same:—
Appended hereto is a coloured diagram showing the length of railway opened each year since the commencement of the public works. Ka wakawa-Gr ah amto wn . Section 7 m. 10 eh. to 15 m. The formation on the extension of this line from Kawakawa has been completed up to 11 m. 60 eh., and the rails have been laid up to the same point. The formation up to 14 m. 10 eh. is nearly finished, and a considerable amount of earthwork has been done between this point and 15 m. A ballast-pit line, starting from 11 m. 60 eh., has been surveyed for a distance of a mile and three-quarters to a scoria hill. The formation is nearly finished. Two bridges have yet to be finished at 13 m. 47J eh. and 13 m. 71 eh. A start has been made with the earthworks of the extension from Opau Wharf to Grahamtown. A proposed deviation of this line by Otaika, Babbit Island, and ending on Limestone Island, was examined and found unsuitable. A contract was let in April last for the bridge over the Whangarei Eiver, but no work has been done on it yet. Helensville Northwards. Komokoriki Section (49 m. 54 eh. to 56 m. 30 eh.; length, 6 miles 56 chains). —The formation has been finished up to the first tunnel at 50 m. 30 eh. This tunnel, 456 yards long, is pierced, and it is expected the lining will be finished next month. The formation is practically finished for about two miles beyond the tunnel. From about 52-J- m. to Ahuroa the formation is partially completed. The rails are laid up to the first tunnel, and the line is partly ballasted to this point. No fencing has been done. A considerable number of slips have occurred in the cuttings. A contract for the supply of a million bricks is about finished. Contracts have been let for the supply of ironbark. Paeroa-Waihi. Length, 12 miles 40 chains. —The culverts, formation, and fencing have been practically finished to Karangahake, and the rails have been laid to the beginning of the station-yard. The west end of the tunnel is now driven 844 ft. full size (top heading 72 ft. further), and lined 742 ft. from the face. At the east end it is driven 607 ft., and the lining is done for 72 ft. from the face. The top heading is driven to 640 ft. from the face. A ballast-pit has been opened at 2 m. 30 eh., and a stone-crusher has been erected. The contractors for the Ohinemuri Bridge are about to start its erection. The formation from the tunnel to about 6m. 15 eh. is about half done. Heavy rains caused some slips and wash-outs. Gisborne-Karaka . The line has been formed to 12 m. 40 eh. and the rails laid. A line has been laid from 12 m. 40 eh. to the ballast-pit. From 12 m. 40 eh. to 12 m. 70 eh. the formation is well advanced. Considerable subsidence took place in the banks. Contracts for the station buildings have been completed. The line was sufficiently completed to Ormond to be opened for traffic on the 26th ultimo. A contract for the erection of the Waipaoa Bridge is ready for advertising. North Island Main Trunk. North End. Mokau-Poro-o-tarao Section (34 m. 43 eh. to 49 m. 19 eh.; length, 13 miles 43 chains). —The line has been maintained from the north end of the tunnel to 49 m. 19 eh. during the year. Ohinemoa Section (49 m. 19 eh. to 62 m. 48 eh. ; length, 13 miles 29 chains). —The whole of this section is now completed to Ongarue Station, at 62 m. 40 eh. Some heavy slips have occurred, and a part of the line in the Ohinemoa Valley will doubtless give trouble for some time. Two stone-crushers were erected in a rhyolite quarry. The line has been ballasted with coarse pumice covered with crushed rhyolite. A station and one cottage has been erected at Waimiha Station, and at Ongarue Station a station building, engine-shed, goods-shed, and some cottages have been built, and a water-supply has been provided. Ongarue Section (62 m. 48 eh. to 76 m. 55 eh.; length, 14 miles 7 chains). —The formation is done to 68 m. 70 eh., and the rails are laid to this point, but no ballasting has yet been done on the section. The earthworks are about half done, from 69 m. to the end of the section, and are likely to be finished in a few months. Two small bridges at 66 m. 60 eh. and 70 m. 40 eh. are finished, but there is delay in getting the steel-work for the Ongarue bridges from the contractor; the contract time expires on the 17th instant. A temporary bridge for staging and ballasting traffic has been put over the first crossing of the Ongarue. The piers are built ready to receive the steel 9-1). 1.

girders. At the second crossing of the Ongarue the bridge-piers are in course of construction, and a stare is being made with the pile-driving for the piers of the third bridge. Taumaranui Section (76 m. 55 eh. to 83 m. 23 eh.; length, 6 miles 48 chains). —Considerable progress has been made with the culverts and earthworks. Some difficulty has been experienced in maintaining the service-road. A telephone-line has been carried to Taumaranui and Piriaka. The contractors for the Taumaranui Bridge over the Wanganui Biver have not yet started the erection, but the steelwork is being manufactured. Whakapapa Section. —This section begins at the junction of the surveys, 83 miles 23 chains from Te Awamutu and 129 miles from Marton. Only a small amount of work has been done in forming service-roads. South End. Makohine Section (22 m. 40 eh. to 33 m. 40 eh.; length, 11 miles). —The earthworks have been nearly completed. Wet weather latterly hindered work very much, and delayed the completion of the Mangaweka and Ohingaiti Stations. There is some trimming-work to be done, which could not be undertaken because of the wet. The rails have been laid up to the northern end of Mangaweka Station yard, the sidings have been laid in the Ohingaiti Station yard, and the greater part of the ballasting has been done. A loop line is being constructed around the Makohine workshops to allow of the uninterrupted manufacture of the Mangaweka Viaduct and other bridgework. A start has been made with the erection of the station buildings at Mangaweka. Makohine Viaduct. —Staging for this superstructure was erected and the main girders finished during the year. On the 9th instant the first train, consisting of an L engine and twelve loaded ballast-wagons, was taken over the viaduct, and ballast-trains have been running over it ever since. The hand-railings and footways have yet to be finished, and some secondary bracing on the main braces of the piers. A large amount of painting remains to be done as weather permits. Mangaweka Section (33 m. 40 eh. to 40 m. 40 eh. ; length, 7 miles). —The earthworks are finished, with the exception of two small pieces of cutting and some slips. Two of the tunnels on the section have been finished. Some heavy lining and wing walls have been put in at the tunnel entrance at 36m. 71 eh., and the slipping ground removed. Forty-one chains of excavation to full size and lining and five tunnel-fronts have yet to be done to complete the tunnel-work on the section. All the concrete blocks for arching have been made. Mangaweka Viaduct. —The concrete-work is nearly finished, abutment A being the only work in hand. The road-diversion to take the road between the first abutment and the first pier has been finished. All the 33 ft. pier-head girders and the 80 ft. span girders have been drilled and are ready for riveting together. All the column-bases are drilled, and a number fitted together. A number of the channels for the columns have been drilled, and a considerable amount of work has been done on the sleeve-nuts for the diagonal bracing. Paengaroa Section (40m. 40ch. to 50m. 70ch.; length, 10 miles 30 chains). —The earthworks are nearly completed to Taihape, excepting the heavy banks at 43m. 50 eh. and 44 m. 23 eh., which are to be partly made up from materials from the adjacent tunnels. The earthworks on the section beyond Taihape are well advanced. Parties have again started to drive the headings of the tunnel from 44 m. to 44 m. 21 eh. No work was done on the section from the end of December till the beginning of May. Turangarere Section (50 m. 70 eh. to 61m. 40-50 eh.; length, 10 miles 50\ chains). —Serviceroads have been constructed along most of this section, and some spoil-cuttings have been excavated. No culverts have yet been put in owing to the stoppage of work for a time. A cottage for overseer has been built at 58 m. 47 eh. Stratford- Whangamomona . The work on this section has been so far completed that a goods-train was run to Toko on the 25th ultimo. There is still some ballasting and metalling to do, and the station buildings are not complete. A contract for their erection is well advanced towards completion. Midland. Tadmor Section (30 m. 58 eh. to 41m. 5 eh.; length, 10 miles 27 chains). —The earthwork has been nearly completed for a length of 7m. lch. Some of the concrete culverts have yet to be done. 4 miles 55 chains of fencing have been erected. Tenders were called for the erection of platelayers' cottages, but, being too high, all were declined. Tenders for the erection of a combined road and railway bridge over the Motueka Biver were called for in August of last year, but all were declined as being too high. Fresh tenders were invited on the 13th June for a shorter bridge. Otira Gorge. —No works were done during the year at this end of the line, except a short service line for the repairs of protective works beyond the opened line. Mount Torlesse Section (6m. to 18m.; length, 12 miles). —The earthworks have been nearly completed on the first three miles and three-quarters of the section. The first two tunnels beyond Patterson's Creek and the tunnel next Staircase are finished, and three others are well advanced. Heavy rains in March last did some damage to an abutment and one pier of Patterson's Creek Viaduct, and necessitated some heavy protective and drainage works being done. No erection work has yet been done on Patterson's Creek Viaduct superstructure contract. The shop-work is completed, and some of the steel-work has been delivered at the site. A considerable amount of earthwork and masonry-work in culverts has been done between 10m. lOch. and 10m. 50ch., and about 6£ chains of heading in No. 7 Tunnel has been driven. Service-roads have been formed up to 13 m. 20 eh., with a break at Broken Biver.

Picton- Waipara. North End. Awatere Section (28m. 38ch. to 33m. 60ch.; length, 5 miles 22 chains). —The formation' platelaying, and ballasting have been completed up to 33 m. 45 eh., and nearly all the fencing has been done. The contractors —Messrs. Scott Bros.—for the Awatere Bridge finished their contract early in the year, and the road approaches have been finished. All the materials for a wind-screen have been procured. A considerable amount of work has been done in trimming cuttings and making up banks on the older sections of the line between Blenheim and the beginning of the Awatere Section. A sixth-class shelter-shed has been erected at Dumgree, and a contract for the erection of the station buildings at Seddon is in progress. South End. Omihi Section (Om. to 15 m.; length, 15 miles). —The formation and bridges have been finished up to 12 m. 60 eh., and the rails have been laid up to 11m. 76 eh.; with the exception of one cutting, the earthworks are nearly finished to Scargill Station, at 14 m. 40ch. About one-third of the formation-works in Scargill Station yard have been done. Some work has been required to make good the excessive settlement of banks. The ballasting on the section has been about half done. Platelaving will be recommenced shortly. A contract has been advertised for the erection of the Omihi and Scargill Station buildings, and also a contract for the supply of timber for sheep and cattle yards, &c. The fencing of the line has been done for ten miles. The erection of two platelayers' cottages at Waipara is nearly complete. The concrete walls for platforms at Omihi and Scargill Stations are being put in. Hokitika-Boss. Plans for the Hokitika Bridge have been prepared, and tenders were invited for the erection on 27th May last. Otago Central. Ida Valley Section (85 m. 60 eh. to 98 m. 4 eh.; length, 12 miles 24 chains) was completed and handed over to the Working Bailways Department in December last. Poolburn Section (98 m. 4ch. to 105 m. 43 eh.; length, 7 miles 39 chains). —The earthworks on the first four miles are nearly completed, and on the remaining length they are well advanced; all the culverts are completed. At present only No. 1 Tunnel is being excavated ; the whole of the heading has been driven, and only half a chain of the tunnel remains to be completed ; the rock is standing well without lining, and it is not expected that lining will be required beyond a short length at the ends. No. 1 Tunnel is 10 chains long. As soon as this tunnel is finished work on No. 2 Tunnel will be resumed; this tunnel is 11 chains long ; 7 chains have been excavated, and 4-7 chains have been lined. The masonry of Poolburn Viaduct has been well advanced; one large pier is finished, and another nearly so. The cylinders for one pier of the Manuherikia Bridge are finished, and those for the second pier are being sunk. Some of the steel-work for the Poolburn Viaduct has been delivered by the contractors, Messrs. J. and A. Anderson, who are supplying the steel-work for the Poolburn Viaduct and Manuherikia Bridges. Spottis Section (105 m. 43 eh. to 114 m. 18 eh.; length, 8 miles 55 chains). —A considerable amount of work has been done on this section. Catlin's Biver Bailway Extension. This section of line, three miles and a half long, has been in hand during the year, but owing to the small number of men employed the formation-works are not yet completed. Waipahi-Heriot Extension. On this extension, three miles and a half long, the formation-works have made slow progress during the year owing to the small number of men employed. The earthworks are nearly completed for about two miles and a quarter. Orepuki-Waiau. All the culverts are finished on the first four miles and a half; also all the cattle-stops and gates and most of the fencing. The earthworks are well advanced. The works were stopped during part of the year. A considerable amount of work has been done in bushfelling and clearing, extending over the first eleven miles of the section. The finishing of the first four miles and a half is now in hand. Surveys of New Lines, Land-plans, etc. A land-plan survey of eight miles of the Kawakawa-Grahamtown Bailway was completed during the year. The survey for the permanent line has been extended for a distance of seven miles southward, starting from the fifteen-mile peg from Kawakawa towards Hukerenui. A resurvey of the Whangarei Extension from Opau Wharf to Grahamtown was made during the year, and also a land-plan survey. The permanent survey of the Helensville Northwards line has been extended eight miles during the year, and follows the original trial survey. A land-plan survey for the Paeroa-Waihi line was completed during the year. The land-plan survey of the North Island Main Trunk line, north end, has been completed up to 83 m.

The permanent survey of the Gisborne-Karaka Bailway has been extended about four miles during the year. The survey of the Stratford-Whangamomona line has been continued up to 22 miles 55 chains from Stratford, and a trial line to connect with the Ngaire route. This survey goes vid Huiroa, but further survey may give a shorter line. A trial survey for 7 miles of the Wainuiomata routp for the Bimutaka deviation of the Wellington-Woodville Bailway was made during the year, also a reconnaissance survey of the proposed coast route. The length, Petone to Carterton, vid Gollan's Valley, coast, and Martinborough, is about 70 miles. A reconnaissance survey has been made of possible routes of railway from Masterton to Dannevirke via Bakanui, Pongaroa, and Weber; also of alternative lines —one, starting from Mauriceville, passes through Alfredton and joins the first at miles from Masterton; the other starts from Pahiatua, passes through Makuri, and joins the first line just north of Pongaroa. An extension of the permanent survey of the Midland Bailway from Beefton to Inangahua is in progress. The survey has been finished to 55 m. 60 eh., a length of 16£ miles from the end of the Beefton contract. Several trial surveys were made along routes proposed to bring the railway into Beefton,but these all proved unsatisfactory, and the original direct route was adopted. A permanent survey was made of the proposed Ngahere-Blackball branch line. The survey of the flokitika-Boss Bailway was started in December last. After a very full examination of the river the line, was located on the most direct route leading from the Hokitika Bailway-station. The permanent survey has been extended to 30 m., and the trial survey to the Totara Biver. The Coal Creek Bailway has been repegged. The surveys for the long tunnel at Arthur's Pass were stopped in August last. In January last Mr. V. G. Bogue visited the pass, and reported on various alternative routes. A start has been made with the surveys suggested by Mr. Bogue. A land-plan survey of the Otago Central from 79 m. to 105J m. is partially completed. A contract for the land-plan survey for the Catlin's Biver Bailway Extension has been satisfactorily completed. Alternative surveys have been made of the extension of the Seaward Bush Bailway from Waimahaka. One vid Tokonui is sixteen miles long, and joins the first trial line at Bogle's Creek. Another trial line has been run to the same point by a route only about thirteen miles long. A trial line for a light railway was made from Anderson's Bay to near Portobello, a length of about 12 miles 27 chains. Sleepers. A large number of contracts and agreements for the supply of sleepers were current during the year ending the 31st March last, and the deliveries made in the districts from which they were obtained were as follows :— Auckland District—27,s9s totara, 5,974 puriri, 2,707 matai; Stratford District—B,99l rimu; Hunterville District—6o,oß6 totara; Nelson District—l,ooo matai, 100 birch ; Westport District — 4,939 totara, 36,752 silver-pine; Westland District—l,sol totara, 100,976 silver-pine; Otago District—3,7oo totara, 7,322 matai, 3,049 blue-gum. Details of contracts current during the year ending 31st March last will be found in Appendix D. BO ADS, BEIDGES, ETC. Westport District. —Two short contracts are in progress on the Westport-Waimangaroa Boad. Denniston Hill Boad was widened and metalled for a length of 1 mile 50 chains. The Karamea Bridge was finished in February last. New beacons were erected and rocks blasted in the Little Wanganui Biver, and also some snagging done. A road to the Little Wanganui Wharf was surveyed. Beports for the Mines Department were furnished on : Boad, Long Tunnel to Addison's Flat; road, Coalbrookdale to Cedar Creek ; Millerton Boad ; road, Deadman's Creek to Brighton ; Nile Suspension Bridge; road, Bradshaw's Terrace; road, Wilson's Lead; road, Lyell Bridge to Byan's ; road, Eight-mile to Lyell; road, Charleston to Brighton ; road, Millerton to Mine Creek; on removal Warrigal Islands, Mokihinui Biver; road, Brighton, Grey County; road, Little Wanganui Wharf to Beach ; road, Granity Creek South; road, Addison's to Buller (loop-line road); road, Mokihinui to Westport; road, Mokihinui to Ngakawau ; road, Lyell to Cedar Creek ; road, Fairdown to Waimangaroa; road, Waimangaroa to Buckfield; pack-track, Mullocky Creek to Karamea ; Oparara Boad ; Fenian Creek Boad ; Orawaiti Bridge ; Bradshaw's Lead Boad; road, Karamea Mud-flat; road, Land of Promise ; road, Caroline Terrace ; road, Stony Creek to Waimangaroa ; road, Cascade Creek; road, Addison's; road, Costello's Hill; road, Fairdown to Waimangaroa. Greymouth District. —An additional 2 miles 25 chains of the Great South Boad was widened and metalled; this joins the previously widened portion of the road. A heavy slip on the road at Mount Hercules has been removed. Some repairs at the Forks-Waiho end have been made. Two small co-operative contracts have been let for renewals of bridges. The piers of the Taylorville Suspension Bridge have been renewed in ironbark, the cables tarred, and the bridge put in an efficient state. The Clarke Biver Track was repaired during the year by day labour. The Ahaura road-bridge repairs were finished during the year, and the works on the Potts Creek Bridge finished. Bepairs to works on Lake Hochstetter Track were done during the year, consisting of replacing a horse-bridge, repairing culverts, and clearing drains. A small co-operative contract for repairs to the Ahaura-Orwell Creek Boad has been carried out. A short length of the Ahaura-Haupiri Boad was widened by contract. The Saltwater Creek road-bridge was repaired, and work was finished on the Sawyer's Creek Bridge. Plans were prepared for a horse-bridge over Moonlight Creek.

D.—l
Some formation-works have been done on the Waipuna Boad. A tourist-track has been formed up Cobden Hill and a clearing made on top. A tourist-track has been formed to the waterfall on Coal Creek. A tourist-track over Point Elizabeth is in course of construction. The construction of the Haupiri-Amuri Boad from Fox's was started in November, and the work in hand was finished in May, no further progress being possible owing to dispute about taking the road through certain land. A report on a dispute about Doughboy's Track was furnished. Surveys were made and a report made on the river-encroachments above the Main Grey. Alternative routes for a road on Boss Flat were surveyed and reported on. A contract has been let for work on the Haupiri-Hot Springs Track.

APPENDIX F.
MIDLAND BAILWAY. — Beport on the proposed Arthur's Pass Boute by Mr. V. G. Bogue, C.E.
Sir,— Wellington, 17th February, 1902. I have concluded the investigations of the Arthur's Pass Bailway problem, in accordance with the commission I had the honour to receive from you, and beg to submit below my report and conclusions relative thereto. Arthur's Pass. The reports of the reconnaissances and surveys made across various passes of the Southern Alps, for the purpose of determining which would be the best route for a railway connecting the West Coast with Canterbury, are quite complete and satisfactory. A study of them leaves no doubt in my mind that Arthur's Pass, all things considered, is the best, and that its selection as such was not only wise, but was practically necessary in view of the data obtained by the surveys. The range presents difficulties of somewhat exceptional character, especially as relates to the great rainfall, said to be 120 in. or more per annum, which produces heavy and sudden floods, and also with respect to parts where the slopes are unstable. The large streams shift from year to year from one side to the other of the valleys, seldom having well-defined channels for any distance—at one time narrow and insignificant, at another flooding all the bottom lands, and carrying large deposits of shingle towards the sea. Near the divide the slopes are steep and crooked, cut up by sharp ravines and gullies, and often present cliff-like spurs, formidable obstacles to railway-con-struction. In such a range we are fortunate if we find the shortest line has comparatively easy approaches and grades towards the summit, and that the greater difficulties are concentrated at or near the divide. These are practically the conditions presented by the Arthur's Pass route. It is true that at and near Staircase Gully, thirty odd miles east of the pass, there are several tunnels and two important bridges; but as a whole the approach from Canterbury is not difficult, but, on the contrary, is fairly easy. On the west slope the railway has already been built from Greymouth to Otira, between which point and the summit there are but seven miles by the coach-road. The topographical features of the country along these seven miles constitute serious obstacles to construction, and present in themselves the principal reason why there is a railway problem at Arthur's Pass. At the summit the elevation is 3,000 ft. This is not a great height when we consider the altitudes attained by many railways in various parts of the world. One in Peru, for instance, crossing the Andes at an elevation of 15,645 ft.; many in America reaching 5,000 ft. to 10,000 ft.; while in the Alps of Europe the elevation of grade at Mount Cenis Tunnel is 3,900 ft., and that at St. Gothard 3,600 ft. The Otira Biver, which heads in Bolleston Glacier, on the high divide south of the pass, takes a sharp bend a little west of the summit, and flows westwards for a few hundred feet along Pegleg Flat to the so-called moraine, whence it plunges in cascades into the narrow depths of Otira Gorge. The fall from the summit to the entrance of the Gorge near Dyer's, a distance of 36 miles, is 1,540 ft., about 430 ft. per mile. While the general direction of Otira Gorge is quite straight, its slopes are crooked and very steep, almost vertical in many places, and are cut up by steep though narrow ravines. At Dyer's, Bolleston Creek, an important stream, comes in from the south, and it is at the end of Bolleston Spur, which lies in the angle formed by the Otira and the Bolleston, that the entrance to the gorge is located. Below this point the valley is wider, and the fall thence to Otira Station, nearly two miles, only about 205 ft. On the Bealey side the fall of the Bealey Biver is 210 ft. per mile to a point 3-2 miles in a direct line from the summit, and is therefore much more gradual than that of the Otira Biver. If the fall of the Bealey Biver was more rapid and approximate to that of the Otira the problem of the pass would be less difficult, since a summit tunnel at any given elevation would then be much shorter than it can be under actual conditions. It must be evident from the above that any line approaching the pass from the west, having a short tunnel in view, must lie upon the slopes of Otira Gorge at least for some distance. As to the northerly slopes, it may as well be stated now that they are so broken by ravines and by the moraine that it would be impracticable to find supporting-ground for a railway upon them except at prohibitive cost. The southerly slopes of the gorge, however, although rugged and somewhat cut up, present much more favourable conditions, and have the merit of being solid and free from slips, while the valley or gorge of Bolleston Creek lends opportunity for developing a line which may reach any altitude upon them. The geology of the pass is described in a memorandum of the Government Geologist, prepared at my request, of which the following is a copy : — " Sir,— " Wellington, 15th February, 1902. "At the request of Mr. V. G. Bogue, C.E., I have the honour to forward you for his information some account of the geology of Arthur's Pass and the mountains through which the Otira Gorge has been cut. " Approaching Arthur's Pass from the east, the rocks are alternations of sandstones and shales that are either of Permian or Carboniferous age. " The general dip is to the north-west, and, apart from surface-slips (which are not common), I anticipate they will form good standing-ground on being mined or tunnelled into. 12—D. 1.
D.—l
66
" On Arthur's Pass the dip changes to the south-east, and there is also some change in the character of the rock, the bare sandstone expanding to a much greater thickness than what shows along the Bealey Biver. There is an absence of deep sagging slips, and from the Bealey to the Otira the rock should prove sound and safe driving-ground, at even an inconsiderable depth from the surface. The principal rock is a hard grey or greenish-grey sandstone, with which is associated bands and thick masses of dark slaty shales, and there is an absence of the greyish, drossy, and pulverent thin-bedded shales and sandstones which have proved so troublesome (as running ground) in the neighbourhood of Wellington and in the Bimutaka and Buahine Banges. At the upper end of the Otira Gorge the rocks revert to the thinner-bedded sandstones and shales, but continue to be good standing country, as proved by the siding at the road at Cape Horn, in the deeper part of the gorge. The same character of rock continues to the west end of the Otira Gorge and the junction of Bolleston Creek with the Otira. " On the crest of Hill's Peak a fissure of great depth has been formed, and this is by some regarded as an extended earthquake fissure. Whatever it may be, for I have not examined it, there is no indication of its being continued in depth to the level of the Otira above the zigzag, nor continued in the mountains on the west side of the gorge and upper valley of the Otira. At the time of examining the district I had discovered most of the great fault-lines that run to great distances along both flanks of the Southern Alps, and had there been any such signs on Arthur's Pass, or along the Otira Gorge, I had not been slow to detect and note the same. " As the rocks of Otira Gorge and Arthur's Pass are the same in age and character as the auriferous Maitai rocks of Beefton, the opinion of some of the mine-managers might be sought with respect to the standing quality of the rock in which they carry on mining operations. " In Kelly's Bidge there is a change to a preponderance of black, slaty rocks, the sandstones being less abundant than farther to the east. Up Kelly's Creek these form high vertical bluffs that exhibit the characteristics of good standing country. " Alex. McKay, Government Geologist. " Hon. the Minister of Mines." Surveys. In past years two surveys have been made through Arthur's Pass—one on l-in-50 grades, which began near Jackson's, eleven miles below Otira, and which required a summit tunnel about three miles long ; and another on l-in-15 grades, designed for an Abt line. In connection with the l-in-50 line a survey was made for a rope-traction project. The Abt and rope-traction projects were both designed to go over the pass, no summit tunnel being required. Becently a survey has been made for a west approach of a six-mile-tunnel project. The railway having been built to Otira, the l-in-50 line can no longer be considered as an element of the question. But, even if this were not the case, the l-in-50 project had numerous undesirable features that would have made it costly to build, and, for years at least, expensive to maintain. In locating a railway across a difficult range it is best, in almost every case, to keep along the margins of the streams, where construction-cost is at a minimum, and as far into the mountains as reasonably practicable, concentrating the heavy grades and difficulties at and near the divide. The result of this method is that nearly the whole line of a mountain railway can often be on substantially easy ruling grades, and a heavy train-load can be hauled over it, with the exception of a short mountain section, where assistant engines may be required. The construction of the line from Jackson's to Otira along the river conformed to this practice, and was, in my opinion, quite justifiable. In any event, there are no conditions which would now warrant the abandonment of any portion of the line to Otira, although possibly some readjustment of the Otira Station-yard may ultimately be desirable. The Problem. The problem as it now stands may be stated as follows: Of several lines that suggest themselves, which is the best upon which to build from a common point at the east switch at Otira to a common point on the Bealey, about half a mile east of the east end of the proposed six-mile tunnel. The Abt System. The Abt rack railway is unquestionably serviceable in some localities, where grades of 6 ft. to 8 ft. in 100 ft. will enable the engineer to so locate the line as to avoid slopes upon which it might be more or less impracticable to build, either on account of their instability or on the score of cost. We have such a case on the Transandine Bailway, which has been building for years, and which will connect the Argentine Bepublic with Chili, South America. The pass through which this line is being built has a summit elevation of 12,800 ft., the elevation of grade in the summit tunnel being 10,000 ft. The approaches to the pass on both sides are difficult, and it was found that, in order to place the line near the streams on ground where the cost would be within reasonable limits and the line comparatively safe, it would be necessary to use grades as steep as 8 ft. in 100 ft. for short distances. So it has been wherever the Abt system has been used. It is a device to reduce the first cost of construction. Now, if the fall of the Otira Biver was comparatively uniform in its course westwards from Arthur's Pass to the entrance to the gorge near Dyer's, and if the slopes adjacent to the stream were smooth, we might find in either the Abt or Fell system a method of avoiding a large part of the cost of building a traction-line. But such are noe the conditions. The fall of the Otira is far from uniform, and the features are such that in locating an Abt line down the gorge the top of the cascade at Pegleg Flat, which is nearly a mile and a half west of the summit, becomes a controlling factor, and the main descent is from that point rather than from the summit proper. The result is that the line must keep high up on the slopes below Pegleg Flat, where it finds supporting-ground, and it thus meets conditions similar to those which are obstacles
67
D.—l
to the location'of any traction-line which is designed to have a short summit tunnel or go over the pass. This means that there can be no great economy in the first cost of building the Abt line. Its advocates claimed that it could be built for £380,000, but it would doubtless have cost more ; while it will be seen further on that a traction-line on a comparatively easy grade can be built for £480,000, and on a grade of lin 20 for £400,000. The conclusion of the committee of engineers (see their report of the 27th August, 1900), that the cost of operating either the Abt or Fell system at Arthur's Pass would be extremely high, meets my entire approval. As the Abt and Fell systems do not present any escape from the bulk of first cost, and would be extravagantly expensive in operation, we may dismiss them from consideration. Absolutely no advantage could be gained by the use of either system, and it is fortunate that action on the subject has been confined to survey and discussion only. Beport of the Committee of Engineers. This report, already referred to, was principally devoted to a comparison of various tractionlines, as follows : One with a grade of lin37 ; one with a grade of lin 37 (electric traction); five with a grade of 1 in 40; one with a grade of lin 44; one with a grade of 1 in 50; one with a grade of 1 in 60. The report and conclusions are ably set forth, and meet my own views in most respects. There is no doubt that any line connecting Otira and Bealey on the grades considered would be costly to build, but the effect of steeper traction-grades such as are used in other mountain regions of the world—in localities too numerous to mention —has not, to my knowledge, up to the present time been outlined in any report. It is the consideration of lines with such grades to which I have directed most of my attention, believing, as indicated, that the subject of easier mountain grades had already been well studied and was substantially exhausted. It is often profitable to conform as nearly as possible to the obstacles of nature, and endeavour to wrest from them a practicable and reasonable solution, rather than attempt to carry an easy grade through a mountain-range, either by means of a long tunnel, or by a line which may begin at some point many miles from the pass and gain the summit by keeping high upon the slopes, amid cliffs, ravines, and spurs. We cannot avoid all obstacles at Arthur's Pass by any line, but the one which avoids most of them should be the best, provided it has a reasonably workable grade. The Work of this Beport. As already described, tw T o surveys have been made entirely through the pass. At my request the topographical sketches of these surveys have been joined, so as to form a continuous map, upon which, under my direction, the several lines which suggested themselves have been drawn, so that some idea of their position upon the slopes could be obtained, and their length, grades, and curvature approximately determined. This was done after a careful study of the situation in the field of ten days' duration, during which I gained a good knowledge of its topographical features, and of its various conditions and obstacles to railway-construction. It is proper to note here, however, that the results obtained by such work are not so complete or definite as those of instrumental surveys would be. The map as prepared gives many heights and distances which have been of great service in laying down the lines mentio.ied, but it is in no sense a contour map, and the data so obtained can only be considered valuable as an aid in a comparison which may eliminate or render unnecessary the consideration of most of the suggested lines referred to, leaving but one or two to which further attention may be given. To avoid confusion the lines have been designated as line A, line B, &c, up to line F, following each other in order, line A being the original six-mile-tunnel route, while line F would pass over the summit on a maximum grade of 1 in 20. Description of Lines. In reading the following descriptions it should be remembered that the summit of the railwaygrade is east of any summit tunnel, and therefore east of the summit of the pass proper. Line A. This, as previously mentioned, is the original six-mile-tunnel project. It crosses the Otira not far above Otira Station, from the south to the north side of the river ; thence passes by Dyer's and enters the gorge, which it follows for about 20 chains, where it reaches the point selected as the west end of the proposed summit tunnel. Thence it is entirely on the north side of the Otira Gorge to its proposed east end on the Bealey, about 37 chains west of the Bealey common point, which is gained by keeping along the north margin of the stream.

Line B. This line keeps to the south side of the Otira from Otira Station, ascends Bolleston Creek, along or near the foot of the slope, to a convenient locality, where it crosses the creek and doubles back along the slope of Bolleston Spur, tunnels the spur at a suitable place, and thence follows the south slope of the Otira, which is here comparatively smooth. Just below Hodge's Creek it crosses the Otira to the north side thereof, formation-level being 70 ft. to 80 ft. above the stream, and finds entrance to proposed tunnel nearly opposite Hodge's Creek on the face of the bluff above, the coach-road. Thence the line keeps substantially in the gorge and pass to its proposed east end, located on the north side of Bealey Biver, nearly opposite the mouth of McGrath's Creek. From this point it descends the Bealey on easy ground, but crosses the stream twice before it reaches the Bealey common point. The following are the physical characteristics of this line : — Length of east approach ... ... ... ... ... Im. 68 eh. Length of west approach ... ... ... ... ... 7m. 76ch.

Line C keeps to the slopes along the south side of the Otira, ascending on a grade of 1 in 25 to a convenient place in the Bolleston Creek Gorge, where it doubles back and follows the slopes of the Bolleston Spur and the south side of the Otira to Park's Creek, on the west slope of which it finds entrance to the proposed summit tunnel. At a point 528 ft. west of this entrance the grade changes from 1 in 25 to 1 in 29, which grade continues through the tunnel to the summit. The east end of the tunnel is located on the Bealey Biver, at the junction of its smaller fork, which comes from Arthur's Pass. Thence the line descends along the north slopes of the Bealey Biver to the Bealey common point. The summit-tunnel line is on the south side of the pass for its entire length. Line CI is a mere modification of line C. Instead of keeping to the south side of the Otira, it crosses from the south to the north side a short distance above the Otira Station, thence passes by Dyer's, crosses the Otira at the entrance of the gorge, and follows the slopes of the Bolleston Spur to a suitable place, where it crosses Bolleston Creek and forms a junction with line C. It is a feasible line, but its cost would be greater than that of line C. These lines are therefore common to each other from a point west of Bolleston Creek to Bealey Station. The following are the physical characteristics of these lines : — Line C. Line CI. Length of east approach ... ... ... 2m. ?7ch. 2m. 57 eh. Length of west approach ... ... ... 7m. 68 eh. Bm. 11 eh.

Line D, like line C, keeps to the south side of the Otira, ascending from the Otira switch on a maximum grade of 1 in 28 along the southerly slopes, doubling back on Bolleston Biver and following the slopes of Bolleston Spur and the south side of the Otira to Park's Creek, on the east side of which it finds entrance to proposed summit tunnel. At a point 350 ft. west of Park's Creek the grade changes, and becomes 1 in 33, which is continuous through the summit tunnel to the summit. From the summit the line descends on the northerly slopes of the Bealey to the Bealey common point on maximum grades of 1 in 40. Line Dl is similar to line CI, but crosses the Otira Biver not far above the station, thence going by Dyer's, crossing the entrance to the gorge, and gaining line D at the long curve on Bolleston Creek. Line D 2 keeps along the south side of the Otira near the foot of the slope, ascends the Bolleston to a suitable place, where it crosses that stream to gain distance, and, curving back, reaches the long curve of line D, thus crossing the Bolleston three times.

This line begins to climb at a point a few chains east of the Otira common point, and keeps to the southerly slopes of the Otira on a maximum grade of 1 in 22, turning in Bolleston Creek Gorge, and thence following the slopes of Bolleston Spur and the southerly slopes of the gorge to the bend of the Otira at the upper end of Pegleg Flat, where it gains entrance to the summit tunnel. The east end of this tunnel is on the slope of the pass on the south side of the creek, which flows east from the pass at a point 31 chains east of the summit of the pass proper. From the east end of the proposed tunnel the line descends along the northerly slopes of the Bealey, by maximum grades of lin 26, to the Bealey common point.

The above data of the several lines are tabulated for convenience in Table 1., which, with lithographic plans showing on a small scale the grades of each line, are attached to this report. Estimates. The estimates of cost as to work outside of tunnels practically depend on rates which were determined for substantially similar work on the l-in-50 grade line, but the estimates of the short tunnels and bridges have been prepared independently, the basis for them in each case being the cost of doing similar work at the present time in New Zealand. The summit tunnel in each case has, of course, been treated separately.

It is proper to say that estimates of cost not based on instrumental surveys are liable to be more or less erroneous, but for purposes of comparing the merits of alternative lines the figures given can, in my judgment, be accepted as reliable, it being assumed, of course, that progress of the work would be regular from year to year until its completion. If the work should be pushed with vigour, the time required to build line A would be seven years; line B, four years and a half; line C or CI, three years ; line D, Dl, or D 2, three years and a half to four years ; and line E or line F, say, two years and a half. Traffic. It has been established in previous reports that the maximum east-bound revenue traffic would be 150,000 tons, and the west-bound 50,000 tons. The maximum grade of the line from Greymouth to Otira, opposed to the eastward traffic, is 1 in 57J, while that of the line between Bealey Station and Springfield, opposed to the westward traffic, is 1 in 50. Trains ought, therefore, to be well loaded for eastward movement, while many cars and wagons going westward would be empty and the trains light. This will suit very well the arrangement of grades mentioned. A locomotive of class Bis the heaviest now in service on the New Zealand lines. Its total weight is 65 tons, and weight on the drivers 70,112 lb. On grades of 1 in 37 and 1 in 32, the maximum grades of lines A and B, an assistant locomotive in addition to a class B would be required to haul the full load, which one of class B could haul up the l-in-57-| maximum grade to Otira, but such assistant locomotive could also be one of class B. On steeper grades a heavier assistant locomotive would be required, and for the object we have in view we may assume that a locomotive weighing 85 tons, and having a weight of 100,000 lb. on four pairs of drivers, would be used. In the table below are given the gross and revenue loads which each locomotive mentioned would haul up the several maximum grades of the lines under consideration, it being assumed that onethird the gross load would, on an average, consist of cars and wagons. As many of the wagons would be loaded with lumber or coal, this is probably a fair assumption.
Locomotives: Capacity of Haul.
Up the l-in-25 grade the class B locomotive and the assistant locomotive suggested could haul 248 tons of gross load, which is 30 tons short of what the former could bring up to Otira. The fact is, however, that a full train-load would not often present itself, cars quite generally not being laden to their full capacity. When a full load did appear one or more cars would be dropped at Otira, to be taken up with the first light train. But this point is not important, because, if necessary, an assistant locomotive, having 4,000 lb. or 5,000 lb. more on the drivers, could be used, her total weight perhaps being 90 tons. On the grade of 1 in 28 the two locomotives could haul 295 tons, rather more than the class B locomotive would bring up to Otira. On the l-in-22 and l-in-20 grades it would probably be best to detach the class B locomotive and let her take the return train to Greymouth, while two special locomotives of heavy type, each having, say, 105,0001b. on the drivers, would haul the train through to Bealey Station; or it might be thought best to retain the road-locomotive (class B), and use two lighter assistant locomotives. However, it is needless, in view of all that is being done in New Zealand and all other parts of the world in the matter of assistant locomotives, both on steep and easy grades, to pursue this branch of the subject further. The traction-locomotive, used as an assistant engine, has become one of the most important elements of modern transportation, and has made it possible for the railway to penetrate mountain districts which otherwise would have been partially inaccessible, and to cross difficult ranges, carrying civilisation to desert regions and building up a vast commerce. It has been seen above that the gross load brought to Otira by the road-locomotive would be 278 tons, of which 186 tons would be revenue load. Attention has also been directed to the fact that the wagons of trains are generally not loaded to their full capacity. Much has been and is being done in America and elsewhere to compel the full loading of cars, and with a large amount of success ; but, with the exception of coal, ores, and like heavy commodities, it is of note that,

while the trains may be long, numerous cars are only partially loaded. This, of course, is unavoidable. I am informed that in New Zealand like conditions exist, and it seems certain that, while a great part of the eastward tonnage from Otira will be coal and lumber, it is still doubtful if the average train will have more than 80 per cent, of a full revenue load of 186 tons. (See Table II.). In other words, 149 tons would be the average revenue train-load. If we take this as 150 tons, it would require 1,000 trains per annum, or an average of 3-2 trains per day, for 312 working-days of the year, to handle the 150,000 tons eastward traffic which it has been thought may be attained. It will be fair to assume that an equal number of trains would be operated for the westward traffic, and to return the empty wagons. When the line is first opened it may have to do a business which will require 500 trains per annum each way. This may grow until 700 trains are necessary, and from time to time an increase may be made until the 1,000 trains each way per annum are running. For purposes of comparison these numbers of trains per annum have been used as a basis for estimates of working-costs in Table 11. attached, which gives an economic comparison of alternative lines. Inspection of Table 11. referred to does not disclose marked differences between several of the lines as to general results. This is natural enough, since a number of them are mere variations of practically the same line. But we find that lines B, C, E, and F are in nearly the same position as to final outcome, and represent lower annual charges than the others, so we may devote our further attention to them and to line A, the six-mile-tunnel project. Lines E and F. Attention is first asked to lines E and F, the first of which would have a summit tunnel a little over a mile long, its west end on the slope overlooking Pegleg Flat, while the latter would go over the pass. Either of these lines can be built for less money than any one of the others, but the difference in first cost between either of them and lines B and C is not so great as one would hope to find where grades of lin 22 and 1 in 20 are used. This illustrates the point previously alluded to —namely, that the Abt line presents no especial advantage in cost over a traction-line. In planning the Abt project numerous short pieces of level were introduced, probably to show that frequent crossing-places could be provided, and that thus a great number of trains could be daily run over it. The consequence is that lines E and P would occupy ground which, for a considerable distance, is practically the same as that selected for the Abt line, although further on they are generally at some distance therefrom and higher up on the slopes. While a grade of lin 20 was used for line F, it seems quite possible that grades of 1 in 21 or 1 in 22 would be found feasible if it was deemed advisable to build upon this line. The cost of operating either of these lines would be quite heavy, and, while the total annual charges for them compare favourably with those of lines B and C, it docs not appear that any aggregate economy can be made by building either of them. The differences in their favour as to first cost are not large enough to overbalance the differences against them arising from their working-charges. While either of them would enable the tourist to get good views of the gorge, Punchbowl Creek, and other points of interest to the lover of beautiful scenery, it does not seem probable that in the long-run either of these lines would be very satisfactory. There is no advantage in either unless a material saving can be made, and, as indicated, it is not apparent that this is possible. If it was necessary to complete the railway at the earliest practicable moment, then one of these lines would offer the best opportunity to do so. Under all conditions, however, it seems best to regard both these lines as eliminated from the discussion. Lines B and C. We now come to lines B and C, which offer the best solutions. The difference between them is not so marked that it might not be overbalanced by a heavy increase in the estimated cost of construction of line B, after careful instrumental survey thereof had demonstrated that this was necessary. Of this, however, there is scarcely any probability ; on the contrary, such survey would probably result in a material reduction of the length of the summit tunnel. The summit tunnel as drawn upon the map, as already described, has its west end on the face of the bluff over the coach-road opposite the foot of Hodge's Creek ravine. It crosses the Otira at Cape Horn, probably 60 ft. below the bed of the stream, and again just south of the roadman's hut in the narrow gorge, about 172 ft. below its bed. The last-named depth is correct, the exact height of the bed of the stream being known ; but the first depth is not known to be exact, although it is closely approximate to the truth. The rock in that vicinity and along the line of the tunnel is hard, with no open seams, and it is not probable that the tunnel would encounter shingle beneath the bed of the stream at Cape Horn. There is scarcely any doubt that it would be in solid rock. As to the crossing near the roadman's hut there is no doubt whatever. However, seeing that such doubt exists about the bed of the Otira at Cape Horn, and as the data for such a line as line B, especially from Hodge's Creek to Bolleston Creek, are insufficient in several particulars, I recommend that a careful survey be made of the line from the east end of the proposed tunnel to Otira, and that any doubt about the character of the material in the bed of the stream be settled by examination. Line 81. In making the survey of line B the cross-sections should cover enough ground to include a summit-tunnel line which would begin at or near the east end of C. Napier Bell's proposed threemile tunnel, and terminate at a reasonable height above the river-bed at Cape Horn, the west end of such tunnel being just above the foot of Park's Creek ravine. With such a line the character of the material below the bed of the stream at Cape Horn would have no importance. From the west end of the tunnel thus described the line would descend on a l-in-30 grade, gradually

approaching line B proper, until it overtook it, probably opposite Dyer's. This would be merely a modification of line B, which I believe to be fully practicable ; and although it might cross the Otira twice west of the summit tunnel —once at Cape Horn and then back to the south side —it would materially shorten the summit tunnel. The slight increase of length required in getting down around the Bolleston, and gaining the flat below the point opposite Dyer's, would not be of much moment. In any further discussion of the above modified line B in this report it will be referred to as line 81. The physical characteristics of line Bl do not materially differ from those of line B. It would be 22 ft. higher at the summit, have a few more degrees of curvature, and be a few chains longer, making its total length ten miles. Its maximum grade would be lin3o on the west approach, instead of 1 in 32 ; while the summit tunnel would be 18,216 ft. long, with a grade of 1 in 32, 2,112 ft. less than that of line B. Its cost of construction would be slightly, though not materially, less than that of line B. Either of the B lines avoids most of the difficulties west of the summit tunnel, and reaches an elevation sufficiently low at the flat opposite Dyer's to be in embankment, or mostly so, instead of cutting. This is important in view of the opinion that has been expressed that the slope of the mountain above the flat mentioned would be an undesirable place upon which to build. The slopes along the south side of the Otira, from the west end. of the tunnel on either of the proposed B lines, are safe and comparatively smooth; and the same remark applies to the slopes of the Bolleston Spur, through which there would be a short tunnel. The bridge across the Bolleston would be from 15 ft. to 25 ft. high. In making the survey the situation should be studied with care, so as to get the best out of it; and in this connection I take the liberty of suggesting that the map of the survey —at least, of the part from the summit tunnel to Otira—should be a contour map, on a scale of 100 ft. to an inch. On such a map the effect of slight changes of gradient can be tried, and the best possible location determined. In doing this I can see no reasonable objection to such slight increase of the rate of grade as might lessen the cost of construction, especially between the flat at the point opposite Dyer's and the proposed Bolleston Creek bridge. On the grade of lin3o a slightly heavier locomotive than a class B would be required. Any line at Arthur's Pass will require at least one assistant locomotive. This being the case, there can be no reasonable objection to getting the most out of the matter by using such assistant engine as will make it feasible to adjust the grades to the local situation by such slight increase of the l-in-30 grade as might effect any material saving in first cost. In connection with this matter of grades it is proper to direct attention for a moment to what is done in the mountains in other parts of the world. In America, on the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Bailway, the ascent to Baton Tunnel, at the summit of the Baton Mountains, has a maximum grade of lin 28 T %, or 185 ft. per mile. Between Salt Lake City and Denver the ascent to the tunnel at Soldier Summit of the Wahsatch Mountains, on the Denver and Bio Grande Bailway, has a maximum grade of 1 in 25, which is practically continuous for seven miles. On the Colorado Midland Bailway, another important line, which crosses the Continental Divide at the Hagerman two-mile tunnel, the maximum grade is about 1 in 24. Between San Francisco, California, and Portland, Oregon, the ascent to Siskiyon Tunnel, at the summit of the range, of which Mount Shasta is a part, has many miles of l-in-30 grade, the curves having a minimum radius of 6|- chains. These are a few of many instances. They are important because of the vast traffic which annually passes over them. In Mexico there are other numerous instances of the use of such grades, the most notable, perhaps, being that of the Vera Cruz and Mexico City Bailway, the English line, upon which the maximum grade is 1 in 25. In South America there are few, if any, lines of any considerable length where there are not, more or less, maximum grades of from 1 in 33|- to 1 in 25. In Europe the ascent to Mount Cenis Tunnel has maximum grades of 1 in 33J, while that of St. Gothard is 1 in 38£. In the effort, therefore, to conform with nature's topographical features rather than to attempt to cut them down to some Procrustean rule, New Zealand will be doing what is done in all other parts of the world. My view of the whole subject is, as will be gathered from the above, that in line B or line 81, with such modifications of either as actual survey may demonstrate as desirable, we have the best attainable line at Arthur's Pass. While this is so, lam not prepared to say that construction of either of them should begin until such survey has been made, as suggested, and the various details have been worked out. Next to the B line, line C offers the best solution. This line also can be modified to some advantage by making the grade in the summit tunnel a little steeper from the summit west, and reducing slightly the grade of the west approach. It would be a good plan, however, to have the grade in the tunnel a little easier than that of the west approach. The summit tunnel of this line is but 2 miles 47 chains (13,662 ft.) long, 4,554 ft. less than that of line B. On both approaches, however, it is more difficult and costly to construct than a B line would be. Between Otira and Bolleston Creek it crosses the slope opposite Dyer's, previously mentioned. I do not share in the views respecting that slope, and should have no hesitation in building along it if there were anything to be gained thereby, and would prefer line C, with its short summit tunnel, to a six-mile-tunnel project. The maximum grade of lin 25 (it would probably be a little less) could be worked with entire success, as such grades are worked elsewhere, and the whole project, if completed, would be satisfactory. In my judgment, artificial ventilation of the summit tunnel of line C would not be required. This tunnel would have an adit near Kea Creek, 2,000 ft. from its west entrance, which would materially aid in the matter of ventilation.
73
D.—l
Line A, the Six-mile-tunnel Project. Of this not much need be said. In view of the foregoing, I regard such a line as unnecessary. It could probably be worked at a somewhat less annual expense than line B, but I doubt even this. The care of a six-mile tunnel would prove more expensive than one of between three and four miles. There are no available data respecting the cost of maintenance of track in tunnels, but the rapid waste of rails in them, and the difficulty of maintaining a good track where men have to work in the glare and flare of lamps, or electric lights, does not suggest that such a long tunnel could be maintained at the same cost per mile that would apply to ordinary outside track. However, admitting that line A. could be worked for a percentage less than either lines B or C, the total annual charges, including interest, count against it in a marked degree. The elevation of grade at the summit of line B is 2,530 ft., while that of line A is 2,392 ft., a difference of 138 ft. in favour of line A ; also line B is a mile and a half longer. It amounts to this, therefore : that, to save going over a hill 138 ft. high and a mile and a half of distance, a six-mile-tunnel project is proposed to be built in preference to a 3-6-mile-tunnel project, which can be built with much less money. With line C the project would be that, in order to avoid a hill 362 ft. high, and making a saving of distance of two miles, it is thought worth while to build a six-mile summit-tunnel project in preference to a 2|-mile summit-tunnel project, which can also be built for much less money. A summit tunnel of such great length as six miles ought to accomplish more. If it was required to connect a great commercial port on either coast with a vast region beyond the mountains the situation would be different; but even in such case one of the B lines would present a solution which, in my opinion, would be more practicable and more reasonable than line A. Considering that the summit tunnel of line C would be so much shorter than that of either line A or line B, thus making a great saving in the time required to build, it seems to me desirable that an instrumental survey should also be made of it as well as of the B line, and that its variation, CI, should be included therein. One line would have to be surveyed in any event, and the extra cost of surveying the other would not amount to much. It is always desirable to get all the information that may have a bearing on such a subject, and have it in view when final determination is being made. In the last analysis the question is going to arise, what is most reasonable and practicable in view of all the conditions, and what would be best for the country. While I am, in my own mind, quite satisfied that the best solution is in the B line, it would be more satisfactory if my conclusions were confirmed by actual instrumental survey. As part of the surveys of lines B and 81, it would be a good plan to have, say, two borings made along the line of proposed summit tunnel—one at least on Pegleg Flat—to ascertain the depth to solid rock, and another at some other point which may be selected by the engineer. It is proper to explain that my study of the Bl line has been going on during the preparation of this report, and that it has not therefore been included in the tables. It is, however, so much like line B that this is not material, especially as the points in which it differs from line B are sufficiently covered in the text. In view of the possibilities and improvements in the use of liquid fuel, and because I have not with me the required data, the question of electric traction in summit tunnels has not been considered in this report. The working-cost of such a plant, however, where the number of daily trains was small would be comparatively excessive. It is only where heavy business is being done that it can be an economic success. I concur in the report of the Government Geologist respecting the geology of Arthur's Pass, and also believe that the rock will be found good driving-ground, and comparatively free from water, for any one of the suggested summit tunnels. I much doubt if either of them would require lining, except in localities here and there. The curvature of the several lines above described would not be excessive in any instance, either as to minimum radius required or percentage of line curved. On the contrary, for a mountain line the amount of curvature is comparatively small in each case. I am under many obligations to the Engineer-in-Chief and the Superintending Engineer for the aid I have received, both from them and their assistants, and for their uniform courtesy. I have, &c, The Hon. the Minister for Public Works. V. G. Bogue.

SUPPLEMENTABY BEPOBT. Sir,— New York, 16th May, 1902. In my report to you of the 17th February of this year there was one matter to which I thought it desirable to give more attention, but which it was not possible to go over in detail without delaying my return to the United States until another steamer. I refer to the workingcost, my estimates of which were made in the rough; and, although the results were substantially correct, it has seemed to me best to make a detailed analysis, based upon the most recent data obtainable, and submit the same in full to you, in order that this branch of the subject may be thoroughly understood. With this end in view I sought, and have obtained, from the Southern Pacific Bailway Company and from the Denver and Bio Grande Bailway Company recent statistics relating to the working of their heavy grades. These data are attached hereto, and should be considered as part of this supplementary report. I have no change to make in the recommendations of my report of the 17th February mentioned, further study having fully confirmed me in my position. The analysis of the workingcost is given below. Fuel and Ventilation. The use of petroleum as fuel for locomotives is growing rapidly in the south-western States of this country. It results in an economy of about 50 per cent, in regions not too far from the oilfields. While improvements will continue to be made, tending to render its use more innocuous, I now regard it as doubtful if it will ever prove to be a better fuel than coal for locomotives operating in a long tunnel. The Great Northern Bailway Company uses coal which contains no sulphur in the locomotives of its Cascade Tunnel, which has a length of a little over three miles, with satisfactory results. I have little doubt that the summit tunnel of either line A, line B, or line 81, referred to in my report, would require ventilating-apparatus if operated with the ordinary locomotive, provided there was a considerable movement of trains. If the train-movement were confined to, say, two trains per day each way, ventilating-apparatus might not be necessary for the tunnel of either of the B lines, but I have included the annual expense of such a plant in the working-cost of line B, as well as line A, but that of line C does not include such expense. Maintenance op Track in Tunnels. I do not know of any railway in this country that keeps a special account of track-main-tenance of tunnels, but all testimony goes to prove that such cost exceeds that of outside track, both because of rapid deterioration and because men in tunnels receive higher pay. The Hoosac Tunnel, length about four miles and a quarter, is the longest tunnel in this country. It is on one of the lines of the Boston and Maine Bailway, whose chief engineer, in a letter to me, states that the cost of track-maintenance in that tunnel is double that of outside track. I have assumed, however, in the estimate of working-cost, that the cost of maintenance of track in tunnels would be the same as that of outside track. The surveys I have recommended will disclose the aggregate length of tunnels for each line, and a more exact comparison of the maintenance of track between the several lines can then be made. The statement referred to counts against long-tunnel projects, where traffic, in the nature of things, can never be very heavy. I am satisfied that in mountainous regions of this country line C would be thought somewhat the best, although it might be modified a little as a result of the surveys I have recommended. Considering the conditions existing in New Zealand, and from a broad point of view, I am still most in favour of line B or line 81, with the reservation, however, that surveys should be made of both lines B and C, in order that the feasibility and data of each may be more correctly determined. Analysis of Working-costs. A comparison of the operating costs for the various lines considered will be greatly facilitated by separating the variable items from those that would be practically the same for any line, and then treating these variable items separately with respect to their ratios and amounts as influenced by the characteristics of the several lines. Of the items which go to make up the total cost of the train mile, those affected by the physical characteristics of the line are motive power, maintenance of way, and carriages and wagons. Motive Power. For locomotives of given tractive power, assuming that the train-loads are, as nearly as practicable, made to develop the full economic power of the machine, the cost per engine mile for engines of the same power will not vary materially on any one of the lines considered. The cost per assistant-engine mile would be the same as the cost per road-engine mile if the traffic were sufficient to give the assistant engine all the work that it ought to do. An assistant engine ought to run eighty or one hundred miles per day, but between Otira and Bealey, with 500 trains each way per annum, it would run only about thirty-two miles; with 700 trains, forty-five miles; and with 1,000 trains, sixty-four miles per day. The mileage that it fails to make, less than eighty miles per day, will cost one-tenth of the engine-mile cost, plus nine-tenths of the cost of wages per engine mile. Then, if the assistant engine runs m miles per day, the cost per assistant-engine mile run will be the cost per road-engine mile multiplied by 1+ ( „ t m ) P> where p = cost standing, divided by the cost per engine mile. Hauling-capacity, or Locomotive Bating. The cost per road-engine mile and per assistant-engine mile being known, the motive-power costs for the various lines and given traffic depend upon the capacity of each engine, and how much additional power must be attached to the train hauled up to Otira by the road-engine to get it over the summit of the grade. The formula adopted to determine the weight of the train any given engine will haul up the various grades has been carefully verified by actual experiments on various railways, and with the results of the work done by engines every day in the year on the heavy grades between Thistle Junction and Helper, on the Denver and Bio Grande Bailway.

The above table shows the Denver and Bio Grande Bailway locomotive grade ratings based on actual practice, with the corresponding results as computed by formula. It will be seen that the agreement between the formula and actual practice is, as a whole, remarkably close for all engines and for all grades except level. The Denver and Bio Grande rating for level track is no doubt put at a low figure to provide for curves and small irregularities in surface, while the formula assumes a perfectly straight and level track. In the same table is given the rating for the New Zealand engine, type B, and the 85-ton engine proposed for some of these lines, as given on page 6 of my report of February, 1902, calculated by formula. Train-resistance on Straight and Level Track. Mr. Chanute says Clark's formula gives results too large for freight-trains at moderate speeds, and too small for passenger-trains at high speeds. Experiments on the Erie Bailway with dynamometer, engine and tender excluded, gave 5'251b. per short ton of train. Mr. Chanute used 6 lb. for safety. Train-resistance on Grades. Experiments by A. J. Cassatt and H. J. Lambert, vice-presidents of the Pennsylvania Bailway, give results from which the grade-resistance is calculated at B = o'3B F for tons of 2,0001b., and for tons of 2,2401b. B = 04255 F; while I have used B = 0.4240 F, an agreement within fourtenths of 1 per cent. B = train-resistance per ton due to grade alone, and F = rate of grade in feet per mile. A speed of ten miles an hour going uphill will permit any properly designed engine to develop an adhesion of nine-fortieths of the weight on drivers, and this has been used in the calculations. From these ratings it will be seen that an engine of type B will haul a train of 278 tons behind the tender up to Otira ; while to haul the same train from Otira to Bealey assistant engines will be required, as given in Table 11. Table 11. Line A ... ... ... ... One assistant engine of type B. Line B ... ... ... ... One assistant engine of type B. Line C ... ... ... ... One assistant engine of 85 tons. Line E ... ... ... ... One assistant engine of type B and one assistant engine of 85 tons. Line F ... ... ... ... Two assistant engines of 85 tons. Another arrangement of the motive power for line E would be to cut out the type B engine at Otira, and let it return to Greymouth with the west-bound train. Two 90-ton engines could then take the load which it had brought to Otira eastward across the summit to Bealey. If we assume that an 85-ton road-engine should at some future time be adopted for use on the line between Greymouth and Otira, it will haul a train of about 408 tons behind the tender up the grade to Otira. To haul this train of 408 tons over the summit to Bealey assistant engines will required, as follows : Line A, one assistant engine of type B; line B, one assistant engine of 85 tons ; line C, one assistant engine of 85 tons and one assistant engine of type B. Cost per Engine Mile. The cost in detail per engine mile for type B, as given by the New Zealand Bailways Statement for the year ended the 81st March, 1901, is shown in Table 111., in comparison with the same costs for engines of the Denver and Bio Grande Bailway working on grades up to 1 in 26, curves not compensated, and of the Southern Pacific system, Dunsmuir to Ashland, on grades up to 1 in 30; curves all compensated. It will be observed from the profiles and schedules attached that these locomotives of the Denver and Bio Grande Bailway are doing their maximum work uphill all the time, additional engines being added as the rate of grade increases, and that they are all comparatively modern. Several of the locomotives on the Southern Pacific are old, and therefore not so economical in fuel as locomotives more recently designed and with relatively larger grate area. The conditions of working the Soldier Summit grades on the Denver and Bio Grande closely approximate those at Arthur's Pass, and therefore the Denver and Bio Grande costs of fuel and repairs per unit of power are used, but the item of wages for the New Zealand type B, as given in the returns for 1901, is accepted as correct for this analysis. The cost of fuel, repairs, and stores may be taken as proportional to the tractive power without any substantial error, the coal being reduced to a uniform price per ton of 13s. per long ton. The New Zealand railway returns for 1901 give the cost of coal at Greymouth at lis. Estimating the cost of freight to Otira, fifty-one miles, and handling at 2s. per ton, makes the cost at Otira 135., or $3.12. The fuel used by the Southern Pacific costs, as shown, a little more than in New Zealand, while that used by the Denver and Eio Grande costs about 7s. per long ton. The second division of Table 111. shows the actual cost per 10,000 lb. tractive power. The Southern Pacific fuel consists of 1,078 cords of wood = 718 tons of coal of 2,000 lb., and 2,671 tons of coal of 2,0001b. ; total coal equivalent, 3,389 tons of coal of 2,0001b., which costs $13,997 = $4.12 per ton of 2,000 lb., or $4.62 per long ton. The Denver and Eio Grande fuel is coal, costing $1.68 per ton of 2,240 lb. Then, if the cost of fuel per 10,0001b. tractive power, of division 2 of Table 111., for the Denver and Eio Grande is multiplied by and for the Southern Pacific by the comparison is reduced to equal cost per ton of coal at 135., shown in division 3 of the same table. The fourth division of the table shows the largest values of these latter multiplied by the tractive power of the several engines required for the proposed lines. Wages and general expenses are assumed as constant, the New Zealand items being used. The fuel, consumption, and repairs for the Denver and Bio Grande, being for a piece of road which most nearly approximates to the conditions at Arthur's Pass, are also used.

For line A the two type B engines would not work up to their capacity with trains of only 408 gross tons. On this grade of lin 37 they could take up trains of a total weight of 504 tons. Therefore the fuel for these engines on line A is reduced in the ratio of 408 to 504.
Table III.—Cost per Engine Mile in Pence.
For a check on the fuel-cost of Table 111. I have made some calculations based on the indicated horse-power. Not having complete data for New Zealand type B engine, I have used the Denver and Bio Grande, 400 type, the performances of which are shown in Table 111. Data, Denver and Bio Grande 400 type locomotive. Drivers ... ... ... ... ... ... 51 in. diameter. Cylinders ... ... ... ... ... ... 22in. by2Bin. Working boiler-pressure ... ... ... ... 1801b.

Bevolutions per minute ... ... ... ... 62-6. Piston-speed, feet per minute ... ... ... ... 290-6. The mean effective pressure at nine miles and a half per hour, from page 27 of Baldwin's " Pocket-book of Locomotive Data," is 87 per cent, of the boiler-pressure, which gives 1566 lb. By the formula for horse-power, on page 28 of the same book, there results— J JJ p _ 156-6 by 2-33 by 380 by 125-8 _ ]041 ' ' ' 33000 At nine miles and a half per hour the distance travelled in one minute is 836 ft., which, multiplied by the tractive power of adhesion, 37,0001b., gives 30,900,000 foot-pounds per minute, equivalent to 937 effective horse-power, which is just 90 per cent, of the indicated horse-power found above, and shows an efficiency of 90 per cent., which is very fair for this type of engine. With coal at 4-J-lb. per horse-power hour (see Wellington), this engine will burn 1,041 by equals 4,6801b. per hour, and at nine miles and a half per hour the coal per mile will be 4921b., equals 0-22 long tons, and the cost of coal per engine mile will be 7s. by 022, equals Is. 6£d. But, as the coal consumed running downhill with steam shut off is about 10 per cent, of this (see Wellington), or 18d. per mile, the average cost of fuel per average engine mile run would be about 10 15d., to which should be added an amount —say, 5 per cent. —for coal used in getting up steam and that left unburned in the fire-box at the end of the run. This gives a total average of 1065 d. per engine mile, while the actual results for all of these engines on the Soldier Summit grades of the Denver and Bio Grande show about 9-40 d., and engine No. 401 shows 10-505 d. In the calculations the engines have been assumed to be doing their maximum duty all the time while going uphill, while this condition is not maintained for the entire length of the grades between Thistle Junction and Helper, on the Denver and Bio Grande Bailroad. Between Thistle Junction and Tucker the maximum grade is 2 per cent., and between Helper and Kyune it is 2-4 per cent., and these maximum grades determine the weight of the trains behind the tender. When on the maximum grade full power and full coal-consumption are used, but on the stretches of grade less than the maximum less coal is consumed. Therefore the actual coal-consumption for these engines shows a little less, about 10 per cent., than the calculation from full horse-power, as it should. It is probable that engine No. 401, which checks with the calculations to within 1-J per cent., was used as a helper on the 3-8-per-cent. grade between Tucker and Soldier Summit, where the grade is practically uniform and maximum all the way, and most nearly fulfils the conditions assumed for the calculations. This agreement is remarkably close, and proves the accuracy of these calculations.

Table IV. is a comparison which shows: First, the ratio existing between the resistances of lines A, B, and C, a grade of 1 in 200 being taken as a grade of double power (see Wellington); second, the resistances by the formula; third, the fuel needed for the service per train mile, as taken from Tables 1., 11., and 111., with that for the line C prorated to the full weight of train.
Table IV.
These comparisons justify the conclusions as to cost of motive power on these lines, and suggest that line B should, in practice, prove more favourable than shown by these computations. Cost per Assistant-engine Mile. The cost of wages, plus one-tenth of all the other items that make up the cost of the engine mile, is the cost per mile for the distance not run by the assistant engine (see Wellington), and which is given in Table V. in amount and per cent, of the road-engine mile.
Table V. —Assistant-engine Cost standing with Steam up for Distance not run, per Mile.
The assistant-engine average daily mileage on the several lines will be as shown in Table VI., that for line B being based on an assistant-engine mileage from Otira to the summit and return. For all lines except B the assistant-engine mileage is the same as the train mileage, while for B it is assumed that the assistant engine will be cut out at the summit, returning thence to Otira.

If we now take the cost per road-engine mile from the fourth division of Table 111., and the costs per assistant-engine mile from Table VII., which correspond to the line and number of trains, using the engines required for each line as given in Table 11., and add these together, the results will be as given in Table VIII.
Table VIII.—Cost of Motive Power per Train Mile in Pence.
Multiplying the values of Table VIII. by the annual train mileage for each case, the annual cost of motive power is the result, and is given in Table IX.
Table IX.—Total Annual Cost of Motive Power in Pounds.
Maintenance of Way. All available records show that the cost of maintenance of way is nearly proportional to the train miles. The New Zealand returns show that about 33-4 per cent, of the cost of maintenance of way is made up of renewals, which it will be fair to distribute as follows : — Bails ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 13-4 per cent.

Carriages and Wagons. The cost per train mile for. carriages and wagons, New Zealand Bail ways Statement for 1901, was 4-75 d. The cost in repairs for carriages and wagons, due to 600 degrees of curvature, is 120 per cent, of its cost per train mile, and for 26-4 ft. rise and fall it is 4 per cent, of the same (see Wellington). If the average rise and fall of the New Zealand roads is 23 ft. per mile and the curvature 40 degrees per mile, the cost on lines A, B, C, CI, E, and F will be the figures in the last column of Table XIII., which are proportional to those in the preceding column.
Table XIII. —Cost of Repairs of Carriages and Wagons per Train Mile.
Multiplying the cost in pence per train mile from the last column of Table XIII. by the train mileage for each case gives the total cost of carriages and wagons per annum shown in Table XIV. 14—D. 1.

Table XIV.—Annual Cost of Repairs of Carriages and Wagons in Pounds.
For 340, 477, and 681 trains per annum, moving the same traffic as 500, 700, and 1,000 trains per annum, the same annual costs for maintenance of way and carriages and wagons can be used, because the number of car miles will be the same ; and because the total gross ton mileage will be nearly the same, the cost of maintenance of way and carriages and wagons should also be the same. Combining the results of Tables IX., XII., and XIV., the total working-cost of these lines is obtained. This is given in Table XV., which includes £800 per annum for ventilating the long tunnels of lines A and B.
Table XV.—Cost of working, Otira to Bealey, in Pounds.
Adding interest on cost of construction at 3£ per cent, to the total working - costs of Table XV., the total annual charges, which form the true basis for the economic comparison of these lines, is the final result given in Table XVI.
Table XVI.—Total Annual Charges in Pounds.
It will be seen, by comparing the above table with that contained in my report of February last, that the differences between the one and the other are not very material, and that in any event they are not such as would warrant any change of the recommendations made in the report mentioned. I have, &c, V. G. Bogue The Hon. W. Hall-Jones, Minister for Public Works, Wellington, N.Z.
