RAILWAYS STATEMENT (21st July, 1903.) BY THE MINISTER FOR RAILWAYS. THE HON. SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G.

Me. Speaker,— In presenting the Railways Statement for the year ended 31st March, 1903, I am very much gratified to have to announce that the year's operations of our Railways have again been most satisfactory, and show a large increase on the business of the preceding financial year, notwithstanding the fact that the latter was a record one. The results of working may be summarised thus : — Year 1903. Year 1902. £ £ Total earnings ... ... ... ... 1,974,038 1,874,586 Total expenditure ... ... ... ... 1,343,415 1,252,237 Net profit on working ... ... ... 630,623 622,349 Net increase over previous year, £8,274. GENERAL. The mileage of track open for traffic at the end of the year was 2,291 miles, as against 2,235 miles open on 31st March, 1902. The average miles operated during the year was 2,262. The capital cost of lines open for traffic has increased from £18,170,722 last year to £19,081,735 for the year under review. The net revenue, £630,623, is equal to a return of 330 per cent, on the capital invested in the open lines. The Kawakawa and Nelson Sections have failed to pay working-expenses, the deficit of receipts on the former section being £834, and on the latter £533. The increase of 376,973 train miles run represents additional facilities afforded to meet the convenience of the travelling public and the demands of the increased business. The permanent additions made to time-tables represent 246,597 miles, and a cost of £60,622. The system of separating the goods and passenger services inaugurated two years ago has given satisfaction, and is being extended from time to time to meet the requirements of the traffic. Various alterations and improvements have been made in the train services throughout the colony. The principal of these has been the establishment of a daily express service between Auckland and Rotorua, extension of suburban service on Auckland North line to Henderson, and the acceleration by forty-five minutes of the Christchurch-Dunedin expresses. The latter trains now arrive at their termini at 8.15 p.m. instead of 9 p.m., the north-bound train running right alongside the connecting steamer for Wellington. On the Wellington-New Plymouth line the comfort and convenience of through passengers have been very materially increased by the arrangement entered into with the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company, which permits of the cars of the Government and Company respectively going through to destination, thus avoiding the necessity which formerly existed for changing cars at Palmerston North. This' alteration has been greatly appreciated by through passengers.

The average late arrivals of the principal trains was as follows :— Mins. Mins. For long-distance passenger trains ... ... 1*18 against 1 79 last year. For suburban trains ... ... ... ... O57 „ 0-78 „ For long-distance mixed trains ... ... 1'25 „ 171 „ The record is all the more remarkable by reason of the fact that it includes all delays, from floods, slips, and every other cause arising, throughout the year, and it furnishes a complete and effective answer to the statements that are frequently made anent the late running of the trains. The traffic continues to maintain that buoyancy for which it has become remarkable during the past few years, and has again very largely exceeded that of any previous year. Notwithstanding the heavy passenger traffic induced by the festivities occasioned by the visit of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales (then the Duke and Duchess of York), the departure of two South African contingents, and the occurrence of two Easter holiday periods in the fiscal year 190'2, the number of passengers carried last year exceeded that of 1902 by 219,254, and gave an increased revenue of .£832. The coaching and goods traffic also show large increases under each of the respective headings, grain alone excepted. This latter item shows a decrease of 94,969 tons. The increased revenue derived from coaching traffic amounted to £7,712, and from goods traffic to £87,061. A noticeable feature of the year's business has been the increase in livestock and mineral traffic; the increase in cattle being 19,003 head ; pigs, 6,685 head; sheep, 1,096,473 head; and minerals, 160,633 tons. The increase in sheep is unprecedented in the history of our railways. The rolling-stock has been increased by 10 locomotives, 45 bogie cars, 13 bogie brake-vans, 2 Fell incline brake-vans, 537 wagons, and 391 tarpaulins, all of which have been turned out of the Railway workshops. 221 locomotives, 437 carriages, 137 brake-vans, 3,804 wagons, and. 5 travelling cranes have now been supplied with Westinghouse brake, 636 vehicles with Pintsch gas, 373 second-class cars with cushions, and 232 cars with lavatories. The number of lavatory cars now in use represents 40 per cent, of the bogie-car stock, and further cars are being fitted. With- a view to meeting the demands of the traffic for greater tractive power on the Rimutaka Incline, two of the heavy goods-engines, Class B, have been converted to tank-engines, and, together with one Class W engine, have been placed on the run between Cross Creek and Summit. These engines have proved a great success on the incline. There are now nine locomotives available for use on that portion of the line —viz., 6 Fell, 2 We, and 1 W — which gives ample margin of haulage-power. The highest tonnage yet hauled up the incline in one day was 2,000 tons. This was taken without a hitch, and without calling the full available engine-power into play. The average number of men employed was 8,875, as against 8,313 for the previous year. During the year 164 members of the permanent staff resigned, 35 died, 66 were retired, 32 were dismissed, and 509 engaged. Two appeals against decisions of the Department were heard by the Railway Appeal Boards, one of which was allowed and one dismissed. The sum of £3,250 has been paid as compensation and compassionate allowances to members retired from the service and the relatives of deceased members of the service during the year. Eight members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division during the year. Extensions of the railway system amounting to 56 miles were opened for traffic during the year. They comprised Mangaonoho-Mangaweka 9J miles, extension of Main Trunk line to Auckland; Waipara-Scargill 14J miles, and Riverlands-Seddon 13 miles, extensions of South Island Main Trunk line; Stratford to Toko Branch, 6| miles ; and Grisborne to Kaiteratahi, 13 miles. The opening of these lines has had a very beneficial effect on the localities served, and there are already indications that considerable traffic will ultimately result therefrom.

REVENUE

The gross revenue, £1,974,038, exceeded the estimate by £99,038, and the revenue of the previous year by £99,452. The net revenue, £630,623, was £8,274 in excess of that of the previous year. In estimating the revenue for the year under review I had to take into consideration the fact that a considerable portion of the earnings of the year ending 31st March, 1902, resulted from circumstances of a non-recurring character ; but, notwithstanding the exceptional circumstances pertaining to that year, and the large reductions made in passenger fares, wool, dairy produce, and artificial-manure rates, m October last the revenue has fully justified the opinion which I expressed m the concluding paragraph of my Statement last year. The receipts per tram mile have been 7s. 3d., as against 7s. 4fd. for the previous year. • Passenger revenue has increased.by £832, season ticket revenue by , coaching traffic (including mails) by £7,712, goods and live-stock by £78 526, rents and commission by £8,877 ; miscellaneous revenue has decreased by £342 : the net increase of revenue over previous year was therefore £99,452. EXPENDITURE. The total expenditure has been £1,343,415, an increase of £91,178. The expenditure for working has absorbed 68-05 per cent, of the revenue, an increase of 1-25 per cent, over the rate for the previous year. The amounts chargeable to working expenses on account ot the various branches of the service, and the ratio of expenses to revenue, are shown by the following figures :- BlDßnd iture.

The increased maintenance expenditure has been incurred on Kawakawa Section, £339; Wellington-NapieT--New Plymouth Section, £2 545 ; Hurunui-Bluff, £12,793 ; Westland, £1,136 ; Westport, £6,084 ; Nelson, £1,900; and Picton, £1,055. . ~,,■,«.• v.

The sum of £423,167 has been expended " Additions to Open lines " and charged to Capital Account. £157,877 has been expended in improvements to buildings, water services, respacmg sleepers, fencing, relaying, bridge strengthening, sidings, creosote plant for treating sleepefs, purchase of land, telegraph and telephone facilities, interlocking and safety appliances, wharves, and crossings ; £265,290 on rolling-stock, cranes, tarpaulins, lavatory accommodation in cars, Westmghouse brake, cushioning second-class cars, lighting of cars, lighting workshops by electricity, for workshops, and foot-warmers. The rolling-stock in connection with which the charges are made consist of 12 locomotives, 42 carriages, 17 brake-vans 21 bogie and 469 four-wheeled wagons, 391 tarpaulins and 3 cranes completed at

CONCLUDING REMARKS AND FORECAST.

In ascertaining the results of working, the capital cost of the open lines has been taken as £19,081,735, and the net earnings £630,623 gives a return of 3 - 30 per cent. The capital cost, as represented by the figures quoted, does not however include that portion of the lines now incorporated in the Westland and Nelson Sections, and which originally formed what was known as the Midland Railway Company's line. It has been ascertained that the capital cost to the colony of these lines was £576,413, and adding that amount to the £19,081,735 quoted above, gives a total of £19,658,148. The net earnings for the year— viz., £630,623 —give a return of 3 - 21 per cent, on the capital cost as ascertained in the manner indicated. Good progress continues to be made in connection with the installation of safety appliances. The electric tablet train-signalling apparatus has been fitted up at stations between Longburn and Turakina, Masterton and Featherston, Addington and Rolleston; and the interlocking of points and signals at Rolleston, Studholme Junction, Cattle-yards, Green Island Sidings, and Mosgiel; and a temporary scheme at the north end of Dunedin Station. The working of the appliances fitted at the stations named, and at other stations fitted during the preceding years, has been eminently satisfactory. The equipment of the lines with proper safety appliances of this nature tends greatly to increase the safety of the travelling public. It is therefore essential that this important work should be proceeded with as rapidly as possible. I am pleased to be able to record the fact that the employees are giving practical demonstration of their appreciation of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund Act, which was passed during the last session of Parliament, and came into operation on the Ist January last. Participation in the scheme was entirely optional as regards employees in the Railway Service at the time of the passing of the Act, and such persons were given a period of six months from Ist January last within which to determine whether they would become contributors or not; but, notwithstanding this fact, no less than 3,586 of the members of the service, representing 57 per cent, of the total permanent staff, had given their adherence to the scheme up to 31st March. By joining the fund thus early, those members have taken upon themselves a liability for 'the payment of contributions which they were not necessarily compelled to do. By so doing they, however, not only became entitled to the benefits derivable under the Act, but proved in a practical manner that a very considerable proportion of the staff was ready and willing, even at some personal sacrifice, to avail itself of the undoubted advantages afforded by the Act as a means of providing against want in old age, or compulsory retirement in consequence of infirmity or disablement by injury or sickness. In this connection I would again emphasise what I stated to the House last session, viz. : that as the Government has now placed on the statute-book a measure, "The Government Railways Superannuation Fund Act, 1902," which affords the members of the railway staff an opportunity of making proper provision for themselves, wives, and families, no payment of compassionate or other allowances will in future be made to them. It is therefore desirable that the employees should embrace to its fullest extent the opportunity which has been afforded them of securing themselves from want in case of old age, disablement, or sickness. The balance-sheet submitted to the House by the Board of Administration shows that the amount to the credit of the fund on 31st March was £7,056. In November last the Government acquired the steamers and plant of the Lake Wakatipu Steamship Company, and since that time the lake service has been run under the supervision of the Railway Department, and in conjunction with the train services. During the summer season, week-end rail and steamer excursions were run. These trips were much appreciated by the public, and will be reinstated next summer. The steamers at present running on the lake are somewhat out of date, and unequal to meet the requirements of the large passenger business which, I am confident, there will be on the lake at no distant date; and, in order that the business may be satisfactorily catered for, it will be necessary to procure a new steamer capable of carrying 1,000 passengers, and of steaming up to eighteen knots per hour.

Collisions occurred at Hindon on the 21st April, at Port Chalmers on the 7th May, at Remuera on the 21st August, and at Mataura on the 13th December. The first resulted from train men disregarding instructions re crossing, two others through failure to observe signals, and the last through points being wrongly set by a porter at Mataura. Inquiries were held into each case, and suitable action was taken at the conclusion of same. I am happy to say that these accidents have been attended by no loss of life. Report on several of the accidents was presented to the House during the last session (D.-6, 1902). The phenomenal expansion of traffic which has taken place during the past eight-years will be readily understood by a perusal of the following figures, which give the traffic and percentage of increase under the various headings for the year ended the 31st March last, as compared with the traffic for the year ended 31st March, 1895 :— Comparison of the railway traffic and rolling-stock accommodation in 1895 and 1903 :— 31st March, 1895. 31st March, 1903.

Increasing the load of trains means economy and efficiency. These desiderata cannot, however, be secured until the heaviest type of engines can be used on any portion of the main trunk and principal branch lines, and until this can be done the ratio of working expenses to earnings must necessarily be high. I anticipate that the existing satisfactory commercial condition of the colony will be maintained throughout the financial year, and therefore estimate the revenue for the year ending 31st March, 1904, at £2,000,000, and the expenditure at £1,360,600. The usual reports and returns are attached hereto.

APPENDIX A. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS'. New Zealand Government Eailways, Head Office, Wellington, 24th June, 1903. I have the honour to report upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1903 :— The capital cost has increased from £18,170,722 to £19,081,735. The revenue has been £1,974,038, against £1,874,586, an increase of £99,452. The net revenue has been £630,623, against £622,349, an increase of £8,274. The expenditure has been £1,343,415, against £1,252,237, an increase of £91,178. The expenditure per cent, of revenue was £68-05, as compared with £66-80 last year. The rate of interest earned on capital was £3 6s. Id., as compared with £3 Bs. 6d. last year. The revenue per train-mile was 7s. 3d., and the cost per train-mile 4s. lid., as against 7s. 4fd. and 4s. lid. respectively last year. The following extensions have been opened during the year: — M. oh. Stratford to Toko ... ... ... ... ... ... 6 25 Mangaonoho to Mangaweka ... ... ... ... ... 9 20 Gisborne to Kaiteratahi ... ... ... ... ... 12 75 Eiverlands to Seddon ... ... ... ... ... ... 13 3 Waipara to Scargill ... ... ... ... ... ... 14 40 Total ... ... ... ... ... 56 3 The total mileage added to the system during the year under review was thus 56 miles 3 chains, making the total mileage open for traffic on 31st March 2,291 miles, as against 2,235 miles at the close of the previous year. 7,575,390 ordinary passengers, yielding a revenue of £576,529, were carried, and 118,431 season tickets, yielding a revenue of £49,169, were issued during the year, being an increase of 219,254 ordinary passengers and £832 revenue, and 17,653 season tickets and £3,847 revenue over the traffic under these heads in the previous year. In view of the adventitious circumstances which induced an abnormal passenger traffic during the year ending 31st March, 1902, the increased passenger business of the past year is all the more remarkable. 47,588 children and teachers and 41,555 adults travelled by school and factory excursions, yielding a revenue of £6,050, an increase of 3,193 passengers and £584 over the preceding year. 602,014 passengers travelled at holiday-excursion fares, the revenue derived therefrom being £103,279, as against 684,441 excursionists for £136,813 the preceding year. The decrease in the number of holiday-excursion,tickets is no doubt due to the fact that the occurrence of two Basters, the visit of Their Eoyal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales (then Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York), and the departure of the Eighth and Ninth Contingents for South Africa during the financial year ending 31st March, 1902, caused the issue of holiday-excursion tickets over a very considerably extended period of that year, whereas last year the issues were confined to the normal period and under normal conditions. The expansion of the traffic has again been very marked, grain alone showing a decrease. Increases. Coaching. —Parcels, 53,958 ; horses, 811 ; dogs, 3,798 ; carriages, 140. Eevenue, £7,712. Goods.— Cattle, 19,003 ; pigs, 6,685 ; sheep, 1,096,473; chaff and lime, 34,714 tons; wool, 14,431 tons ; firewood, 262 tons ; timber, 8,855 tons ; merchandise, 77,290 tons; minerals, 160,633 tons. Eevenue, £87,061. Total increased goods and live-stock tonnage, 251,222 tons. Decrease. Grain, 94,969 tons.

During the year there have unfortunately been a number of train accidents of a serious nature, but lam pleased to be able to record the fact that no loss of life has resulted therefrom. Exhaustive investigation was made into these immediately they occurred, and a report of result was printed and laid before Parliament during last session (see D.-6, 1902). These accidents emphasize the necessity for pushing on the equipment of the lines with safety appliances with all convenient speed. The Lake Wakatipu steamships and plant acquired by the Government in November, 1902, have since been run in conjunction with the railways with satisfactory results. Ten locomotives built in the New Zealand Eailway workshops have been added to the stock during the year. On 31st March, 1903, there were in the North Island 151 locomotives, 296 carriages, 117 brake-vans, 3,729 wagons, and 5 travelling cranes fitted with the Westinghouse air-brake. In the South Island 70 locomotives, 141 carriages, 20 brake-vans, and 75 wagons were similarly equipped. The equipment of the stock on the Auckland and Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Sections is practically completed, and the fitting of the remainder of the rolling-stock on the Hurunui-Bluff Section with the Westinghouse brake will be undertaken at an early date. Appended are the reports of the Chief Engineer, Chief Mechanical Engineer, Chief Traffic Manager, and Stores Manager. I have, &c., T. EONAYNE, To the Hon. Minister for Eailways. General Manager.

APPENDIX- B.

ANNUAL REPORT UPON THE WORKING OF THE LOCOMOTIVE BRANCH, 1902-3. Sir,— Chief Mechanical Engineer's Office, Wellington, 16th May, 1903. I have the honour to furnish the following report on the working of the Locomotive Branch for the year ending 31st March, 1903 : — The engines, rolling-stock, machinery, and plant have been maintained in good and efficient working-order. The locomotive stock has been increased during the year by ten new engines, built in New Zealand Eailway workshops, and comprised two heavy tender engines (Class B type) and eight tank engines; four of Class Fb type, two of Class La (replacing two old engines sold), and two Class Wa passenger engines. These additional locomotives increased the total tractive power by 123,696 lb., or 3-66 per cent. The new stock and new boilers in hand will still further increase the tractive power by 202,0851b., or 5-99 per cent. The replacing of old types of locomotives by those of more suitable design and greater tractive power is being done as expeditiously as practicable. To cope with the growth of traffic over the Eimutaka Incline two Class B engines were converted to Class We, and put into service between Cross Creek and Summit. These engines have done efficient work on the incline. There has been a large increase in the mileage run as compared with the preceding year, the increase in train-miles being 376,973, equal to 7-44 per cent., and engine-miles 629,863, equal to 9 per cent. The North Island contract for the equipment of rolling-stock on Auckland and Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Sections with the Westinghouse automatic air-brake is practically completed. The Westinghouse brake is now in regular use on all trains on both of these sections. A contract for equipping with the Westinghouse brake engines and rolling-stock on the Hurunui-Bluff Section has been entered into, and the Westinghouse Brake Company will commence the work at an early date. On 31st March, 1903, there were in the North Island 151 locomotives, 296 carriages, 117 brake-vans, 3,729 wagons, and five travelling cranes fitted with the Westinghouse air-brake. In the South Island 70 locomotives, 141 carriages, 20 brake-vans, and 75 wagons were similarly equipped. Boiler repairs and renewals are in a satisfactory position, the work being well up to date. The new work in hand at close of year consisted of one D, three F, one J, three X, two T, and one TJ, or a total of eleven locomotive boilers. During the year 1,223 car, van, wagon, and crane axles have been renewed. An. electric-lighting plant has been installed at Addington workshops, and a considerable proportion of the buildings are now equipped with arc and incandescent lamps. During the year twenty-nine cars were fitted with Pintsch gas, making a total of 636 vehicles fitted to date. The Pintsch gas manufactured at the five separate gasworks totalled 2,598,510 cubic feet, costing 2s. 3f d. per 100 cubic feet, the increased cost of production being due to repairs and renewals to plant and appliances, and the increased price of gas-oil. Small auxiliary plants are under erection at Christchurch and Dunedin for the purpose of producing acetylene-gas, it being intended to use a suitable admixture of oil and acetylene gas, and thus greatly increase the brilliancy of the light.

ANNUAL REPORT ON THE MAINTENANCE OF THE NEW ZEALAND RAILWAYS. Sm, — Chief Engineer's Office, Wellington, Ist April, 1903. I have the honour to submit the following report on the maintenance of the New Zealand Eailways for the year ending 31st March, 1903 : — Permanent-way. —The track has been maintained in good condition. During the year fifty-four miles of track have been relaid, 39-J miles with 701b. rails and 14-J miles with 561b. rails. The best of the second-hand rails taken up from the main lines have been used to relay lighter classes of track on the branch lines, thirteen miles having been so relaid. In my previous report I called attention to the necessity for increasing the rate of relaying, but I regret to say that this year, owing to the delay in obtaining rails, there was less done thaii for some three or four preceding years. The remarks I made in my last report in connection with relaying still apply. The track now being relaid is not unfit for traffic, but if the relaying be not pushed on faster the expenditure in the near future must be abnormally increased to keep our lines in a safe condition. The return of sleepers, attached to the Statement, shows that during the year we have relaid 384,469, of which 92,597 were imported hardwoods, and the balance, 291,872, native timbers. The expenditure on sleepers, exclusive of laying, was £76,888. I regret the decision to cease the use of hardwood sleepers, for the reasons given when I recommended their importation. Considerable delay has occurred in the delivery of the new creosoting plant for Woodville and repairing the plant at Invercargill, but a large number of sleepers have been procured in readiness for treatment and the work will be commenced early in the forthcoming year. During the year there has been expended on track-renewals £176,494, as against £170,473 in the previous year, although a less amount of track has been relaid. The difference is accounted for by balances of rails and sleepers carried over, having been received too late to lay during the year, and by relaying with second-hand rails on the branches.

The material now in hand will enable us to continue relaying in the early periods of the ensuing year, which we have been unable to do in the past for lack of either rails or sleepers. The most serious interruption of traffic by floods occurred on the Foxton Branch, where washouts due to overflow of the Manawatu Eiver blocked the line for some ten days. Slips on the Otago Central extension continued more or less during the year, but with little interference to the traffic. The Gates stone-crushing plant erected in the Dunedin District has been fairly well employed, and the quantity of broken metal put through has been most satisfactory. In all districts during the year about 260,000 cubic yards of ballast have been laid, at a cost of £13,815. Bridges. —The bridges have been maintained in safe condition, and several of the larger structures have been strengthened to carry heavier engines. A new bridge has been built over the Hutt Eiver, at Silverstream, and the Mangatera steel viaduct has been completed. The total expenditure for repairs and renewals amounted to £63,728, as against £55,705 in the previous year. Signals, Interlocking, and Block-working. —Signal Engineer's report, which is attached, gives details of interlocking and block-working which have been carried out during the year. The working-results have been very satisfactory. Water-services. —These services have been maintained in efficient order. Wharves. —These structures have been kept in good repair. The facilities at Foxton have been improved by dredging, and considerable expenditure is being incurred for improvements at George Street Pier, Port Chalmers, by the removal of the central filling and renewal in timberwork. Buildings. —New station-buildings have been erected at New Plymouth and Tariki, and are in hand at Dannevirke, Kaiapoi, Dunedin, Bluff, and Fairfax. Considerable additions to meet the traffic requirements have been made at many other stations. The departmental offices in Wellington are not yet completed, and I anticipate the building will not be ready for occupation for four or five months. Miscellaneous Works. —A large number of additions and improvements to works have been made during the current year, amounting to £15,057, which has been charged to workingexpenses. Additions to Open Lines. —The principal works in hand were as follows : — Additions to Station-buildings and Station-yards : Mair, Auckland, Ellerslie, Mercer (completion), Frankton, Wharepoa Eoarl, New Plymouth (completion), Tariki (completion), Stratford, Eltham, Hawera, Eastown, Foxton, Summit, Dannevirke, Christchurch, Timaru (completion), Kaiapoi, Methven, Oamaru (land), Eavensbourne, Dunedin (foundations, &c), Balclutha, Invercargill (land), Bluff, Mandeville, Fairfax, and Wairio. Additions to Sidings: Auckland, Onehunga, Euakura, Morrinsville, four crossing sidings in Auckland District, Hawera, Hunterville, Addington, Timaru, Goodwood, Purakanui, Burkes, Cattle-yards, Barewood, Pukerau, Invercargill, Bluff, West Plains, Oporo, Thornbury, and between Waicola and Woodlaw. Creosoting Plants : Woodville (completion) and Kew (Invercargill). Bridges: Mangatera Viaduct (completion), Eiverton, and Teremakau (footway). Fencing: North of Palmerston North (completion), near Inchbonnie, and near Poerua (completion). Additions to Water-services : Wanganui District (completion), Ashburton, and Timaru. Additions to Workshops : Eastown (locomotive and maintenance), Petone, Hillside, and Invercargill (site, &c). Additions to Goods-sheds : Auckland (office), and Westport. New Dwellings and Additions to Dwellings: Frankton, Wanganui, Wellington, Ngapara, Gore, Greymouth, and Moana. Engine Turntables : Ngapara, Kurow, and Tokarahi. Purchase of Land : Petone, Christchurch, and Dunedin. Purchase of Buildings on Leaseholds: Waterloo Quay, Wellington; and No. 2 shed and plant, Lyttelton. Miscellaneous: Stockyards at Inglewood; new departmental offices at Wellington; crossing near Shag Point; George Street Pier, Port Chalmers; crane for Port Chalmers; lightening rock slopes on Otago Central Eailway; furnaces for heating foot-warmers in Dunedin and Invercargill Districts ; building six portable huts in Invercargill District; protective works at Otira ; filling in mud-flat at Nelson ; signals and interlocking; increased telegraph and telephone facilities ; blockworking ; strengthening track and bridges (proportion) ; and additional sleepers. The total cost of works under this heading charged to capital account amounts to £157,877. Expenditure. — The maintenance expenditure charged to revenue amounts to £457,757, or £202 per mile, as against £433,997, or £195 per mile, in previous year. The increase is due mainly to increases under renewals of track, and repairs and strengthening of bridges. As has been frequently remarked, our expenditure per mile is high compared with that of the other colonial railways, and an examination of the various returns shows that there is an increase under almost all heads, but more especially for renewals of track and bridges. Comparing our expenditure last year with that of the four principal Australian railways, I find that, on a mileage basis, we spent and charged to revenue for materials for renewals of track some £70,000, and on bridge structures and roads £45,000, more than the average for those railways. Mileage. —The total mileage open for traffic on 31st March, 1903, was 2,290 miles 64 chains, being an addition of about 56 miles opened during the year. Private Sidings. —-The number of private-siding rights at 31st March last was 273, with a total annual rental of £4,522. Fifteen new grants were issued during the year.

D.—2.

Leases. —At 31st March last there were 2,017 leases current, with a total annual rental of £21,879. Leases issued during the year numbered 362. Staff. —The working staff' was 2,707, and the office staff 91, making a total of 2,798 persons. I append the usual returns. I have, &c, John Coom, M.lnst.C.E., The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways. Chief Engineer.

ANNUAL SIGNAL AND ELECTRICAL REPORT. Sir,— Wellington, Ist April, 1903. I have the honour to submit the following report on the signals, interlocking, and blockworking, also the telegraph and telephone facilities, of the New Zealand Government Eailways for the year ending 31st March, 1903 : — Fixed Signals. During the past year twenty stations have been fitted with fixed signals, and the whole, with the exception of two or three stations, have now been fitted with interlocking plates. The expenditure for the year on new work was £854 15s. lid., and for maintenance £726 15s. Interlocking of Points and Signals. The signalling and interlocking has worked with the most satisfactory results. The following stations have been fully equipped during the year : Eollesfcon, Studholme, Dunedin (north end, temporary scheme), Cattle-yards, Gr.een Island sidings, and Mosgiel. The work has also been commenced and is well in hand at Summit, Burkes, Kensington, Caversham, Balclutha, Invercargill. The expenditure for the year on new work was £11,077 9s. 10d., and for maintenance £539 ss. 6d. Block-working. The electric train-tablet system of block-working on the sections where installed has worked with every satisfaction. During the year forty-two tablet instruments and seventy-seven miles of line have been fitted up and brought into operation, embracing the following sections : Turakina to Longburn, Masterton to Featherston, and Addington to Eolleston. The equipment of the sections from Palmerston North to Woodville, Wingatui to Ida Valley, Invercargill to Winton, Makarewa to Eiverton, and Greymouth to Ngahere is in progress. The staff-and-ticket system of block-working has been adopted on the Hunterville Branch. Telegraph and Telephone Facilities. During the year 250 miles of wire has been erected and brought into use, embracing a new through Morse wire from Invercargill to Dunedin; also various alterations and additions have been made to improve existing lines. Twenty-two additional Morse instruments and eighty-three telephones have been fixed and brought into operation ; also twelve additional connections have been made with public telephone exchanges and nine portable telephones brought into use. Twenty-four old-pattern telephones have been replaced by new and more modern ones. Greater facilities are still needed in some of the districts to suit the more pressing requirements. The expenditure on electric block-working, telegraph and telephone facilities for the year was : New work, £11,250 16s. lOd.; and maintenance, £6,949 12s. lOd. Electric Light. The signals fitted with electric light, also the electric arc lamps at Wellington, continue to give every satisfaction. I have, &c, H. J. Wynne, A.M.Inst.C.E., The Chief Engineer, Wellington. Signal and Electrical Engineer.

APPENDIX D. Sir,— Stores Manager's Office, Wellington, 12th May, 1903. I have the honour to report that the value of stores (purchased under the Eailway vote, on hand on 31st March, 1903, at the various depots amounted to £190,414 2s. 4d., as against £173,221 19s. 7d. on 31st March, 1902. The value of stores on hand on account of additions to open lines amounted on 31st March, 1903, to £37,114 ss. 2d., as against £43,151 4s. 4d. on 31st March, 1902. The stock is in good order, has been carefully and systematically inspected, and is value for the amounts stated. I have, &c, Geo. Felton, The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways. Stores Manager.

APPENDIX E. SiEj— Chief Traffic Manager's Office, Wellington, 15th June, 1903. I have the honour to report on the working of the Traffic Branch of the New Zealand Eailways for the year ending 31st March, 1903. Huruntd-Bhtff Section. The number of passengers carried during the year has fallen short of last year's traffic by 68,700 passengers, the Invercargill, Dunedin, and Christchurch Districts participating in the decrease. In goods traffic there were large increases in all classes, excepting grain, in which there was a large deficiency, the yield being considerably under the average, thus reducing the total increase in goods traffic to 11,914 tons, as against an increase of 45,220 tons last year. The sheep traffic was very heavy, 544,170 sheep being carried in excess of the traffic for last year. In the Christchurch District there are increases in all classes of traffic excepting grain, the increase in sheep being 316,048. The traffic in frozen meat has increased by 2,660 tons, 38,010 tons having been carried to Lyttelton and Timaru as against 35,350 tons last year. In the Dunedin District the traffic in practically all classes excepting grain shows a considerable increase. There is a large increase in sheep traffic, 147,304 more sheep having been carried than in the previous year. There is also a considerable increase in frozen meat, 202,416 carcases having been shipped at Oamaru and Port Chalmers, as against 163,189 carcases for last year. The quantity of cream carried to dairy factories amounted to 578,160 gallons, being an increase of 218,848 gallons. This class of traffic has made considerable strides during the past few years, having increased from 37,425 gallons in 1899-1900 to 578,160 gallons in the year under review. During the year creameries have been established at Kurow, Windsor, Totara, Maheno, Hyde, Balclutha, and Eomahapa. The recently discovered phosphate-rook deposits in the vicinity of Clarendon Station have been worked during the year, the output forwarded from that station being 2,494 tons. This industry should in time become of considerable importance. In the Invercargill District there are increases in chaff, wool, timber, merchandise, coal and other minerals, there being a decrease in grain and firewood. There is also a large increase in sheep traffic. The Christchurch-Dunedin express trains have been accelerated, forty-five minutes having been taken off the journey-time, the trains arriving at destination at 8.15 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. as formerly ; and arrangements have been made which enable the express train being run alongside the Wellington ferry steamer at Lyttelton, and also for a train for Christchurch to start from the wharf immediately on arrival of the ferry boat from Wellington. The journey-time of the morning train from Palmerston to Oamaru has been reduced, to give a better connection with the Oamaru markets. In the Invercargill District the journey-times of several mixed trains have been reduced, notably those between Invercargill and Clinton, Lumsden and Gore, Invercargill-Orepuki, Inver-cargill-Bluff, and Eiverton-Nightcaps. An extra passenger-train has been provided from Winton to Invercargill and back on Saturdays. The Eiverton-Nightcaps time-table has been improved by the running of the 10.5 a.m. Eiverton to Nightcaps and the 2 p.m. Nightcaps to Eiverton on Mondays in addition to Wednesdays and Fridays. Various other minor alterations have been made all over the Hurunui-Bluff Section. Increased mileage per annum : Passengers and mixed, 21,730 ; goods, 58,136 : total, 79,866. Various alterations and improvements of branch services are contemplated. Picton Section. The passenger traffic has increased largely, there being an increase of 14,104 passengers, and in revenue, including season tickets, of £808 2s. Id. The principal increases in goods traffic are in chaff, wool, grain, and merchandise. There is also a large increase in sheep traffic, 71,782 sheep having been carried, as against 38,149 last year. The total revenue for the section was increased by £2,371 14s. 10d., or over 21 per cent. Westland Section. ' The passenger business has fallen off slightly in this district, there being a decrease in passengers of 5,934 ; season tickets, 72 ; and in revenue of £68 9s. 3d. There has been a moderate increase in goods traffic, the principal increases being in chaff, firewood, and timber. The Greymouth-Hokitika time-table has been revised and improved. Increased mileage per annum, 7,488 miles. Westport Section. In passenger business there has been a moderate increase on this section. The goods traffic, however, has increased largely, the principal increase being in coal, close upon 88,000 tons more being carried than the previous year.

D.—2.

Other increases are in chaff, grain, and general goods. The train service in this district has been entirely revised, and additional mixed trains provided. Increased mileage per annum, mixed, 23,920 ; decreased mileage per annum, goods, 9,048: net total increase, 14,872. Nelson Section. There is a decrease in the passenger business on this section of 9,808 passengers, and revenue (including season tickets) decreased £271 7s. Id. In goods traffic there is a small increase, principally in chaff, timber and grain. Total revenue has increased by £1,290 6s. lOd. Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Section The passenger business on this section has increased to a large extent, the increase over last year being 149,354 passengers and 5,877 season tickets, and in revenue of £6,012 14s. Bd. In goods traffic there are large increases in all classes, with the exception of firewood, in which there is a slight falling-off. The increase on the total goods traffic was close upon 12 per cent. In the Wellington-Napier District the principal increases are in grain, merchandise, coal and other minerals, there being also a large increase in sheep. In the Wanganui District there is a large increase in passenger traffic, and in goods traffic there are considerable increases, the principal of which are in chaff, wool, timber, grain, general merchandise, and coal. The sheep traffic has also increased to a large extent over the previous year. The large increase in the Sunday traffic has rendered it necessary to put on an additional train between Te Aro and Lower Hutt, and for the greater convenience of settlers the trains previously running between Palmerston and Foxton on Thursdays and Saturdays are now being run on Tuesdays also. Increased mileage per annum, 2,918 miles. Auckland Section. Passenger traffic in this district has increased during the year to a very large extent, there being an increase in ordinary passengers of 87,487 and in season tickets of 6,018, the revenue having increased to the extent of £4,399 Is. 9d. over the previous year's traffic. In the goods traffic there is also a large increase, the total tonnage for the year being 301,376 tons, as against 261,311 tons for the previous year, an increase of 40,065 tons, or over 15 per cent. There are increases in all classes of traffic, the principal being in chaff, timber, grain, general merchandise, and minerals. There was also an increase in sheep amounting to 57 per cent. The traffic in dairy-products still continues to increase, 400,309 gallons of cream having been forwarded, as against 360,502 for the previous year. The quantity of butter carried on the section was 4,350 tons, as against 3,550 for the previous year. There is, however, a slight decrease in cheese, the quantity being less than last year by 104 tons. The whole time-table has been rearranged, the most important improvements being the extension of the suburban trains to Henderson and the inauguration of a daily express train between Auckland and Eotorua. The improvements made give a faster and more regular service than formerly, and are greatly appreciated by the travelling public. During the current year it is proposed to place a refreshment-car on the Auckland-Eotorua express. Extra train mileage per annum : Passenger, 134,472 ; goods, 2,756. Gisborne Section. The Gisborne Section, 12 miles 65 chains, was opened on the 26th June, 1902. The total goods tonnage carried up to the 81st March, 1903, was 1,111 tons ; number of passengers, 39,183 ; total revenue, £1,787 19s. 2d. Kaihu Section. The traffic, both passenger and goods, has fallen off very considerably, there being a decrease,, compared with the previous year, of 3,008 passengers and 16,607 tons of goods; the principal drop is in timber, on which there is a decrease of 16,294 tons. Whangarei Section. The passenger business shows considerable development, 12,011 passengers having travelled in excess of the previous year, an increase of close upon 24 per cent. In goods traffic there is also a great improvement, the tonnage for the year being 95,485, as compared with 83,708 tons for the previous year, an increase of 11,777 tons, or over 14 per cent. There are increases in all classes of goods traffic, with the exception of grain, the heavier increases being in timber and coal.

10

D.—2.

The time-table has been improved by extending the running of the 12.35 p.m. train, Hukerenui— Whangarei, two days a week, making it a daily service instead of four days a week as formerly. Increased mileage per annum, 4,225 miles. Kawakawa Sectio?i. There is a moderate improvement in traffic for the year, both in passengers and goods, there being an increase of 1,741 passengers and 1,282 tons in goods traffic.

The outcome of the year's work is most satisfactory, and, compared with the previous year's, shows a large expansion of business. The total earnings for the year amounted to £1,974,037 15s. lid., as against £1,874,586 9s. 7d., an increase of £99,451 6s. 4d. There has been a large increase in the passenger traffic, 7,575,390 passengers having travelled, as against 7,356,136 last year, an increase of 219,254. There has also been a considerable increase in season tickets, 118,431 having been issued, an increase of 17,653 over the previous year. This advance in passenger business is all the more noticeable in view of the abnormal and exceptional passenger traffic induced by the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York to the colony, the despatch of troops for South Africa, and the occurrence of two Easters in the previous year, ending 31st March, 1902. Although, however, the growth of passenger business has been so satisfactory, the revenue derived therefrom has not, on account of the large reduction in the fares, increased to any extent, the passenger revenue for the year being £576,529 9s. 7d., as compared with the previous year £575,697 9s. 3d., there being therefore an increase of only £832 os. 4d. to represent the increased number (219,254) of passengers. The season tickets issued for the year (118,431), an .increase of 17,653, represent an increase in revenue of £3,846 16s. 3d. The revenue from excursion traffic was £109,329 19s. 9d. The goods traffic also shows a great improvement over the previous year, the tonnage for the year being 3,730,394 tons, an increase of 201,217 tons. Increases occur in all classes of traffic, except in grain, in which there is a large decrease, due to the deficiency in last year's harvest. There has been a phenomenal increase in sheep traffic, the number carried for the year being 3,821,333, as against 2,724,860 for last year, an increase of 1,096,473. The equivalent tonnage for the total live-stock traffic for the year shows an increase from 137,862 tons last year to 187,866 tons for the year under review, an increase of 50,004 tons. The revenue from goods and live-stock traffic amounted to £1,189,100, an increase over last year of £78,526. Grand total mileage of additional permanent trains per annum : Mixed and passenger, 194,753; goods, 51,844 : total, 246,597. The increase in goods mileage is due to the continued expansion of traffic and the acceleration of mixed trains. The large increase in passenger- and mixed-train mileage is chiefly due to the great improvement in the Auckland time-table. Appended is a comparative statement showing the average late arrivals of trains at destination for the year ending 31st March, 1903, and for the previous year. Express and mail train, 1-18, as against 1-79; long-distance and mixed trains, 1-25, as against 1*71; suburban trains, 0-57, as against 0-78.

ton to New Plymouth, and the Government trains running through between New Plymouth and Wellington. This arrangement, obviating as it does the necessity for changing carriages at Palmerston North, has been much appreciated, and has given great satisfaction to the travelling public. The Westinghouse brake, which has now been introduced on the Auckland Section, is working satisfactorily, and has been found of great assistance in controlling trains on the steep grades in that district. Further extension of the electric tablet system has been completed during the year between Featherston and Masterton, Longburn and Turakina, Waitati-Port Chalmers-Mosgiel, Wingatui and Ida Valley, and Christchurch and Eolleston, adding greatly to the safe and expeditious working of the traffic. The system should be extended to other portions of the line as soon as possible, notably between Auckland, Newmarket, and Henderson; Newmarket and Frankton; and Addington and Eangiora. The Lake Wakatipu steamers were purchased by the Government and taken over by the Department on the Ist November last. The working of the steamers as an adjunct to the railways, at reduced fares and charges, has given general satisfaction throughout the southern districts. The percentage of traffic expenditure to revenue for the year is 18-24, previous year's percentage being 17-78. The increase is due to the large addition in the train mileage, caused by increase of traffic and improvements to the train services, increase in passenger business at low fares, and the increased salaries and wages paid to the staff under the Classification Act. The prospects for the ensuing year are most promising, and it may confidently be anticipated that there will be a considerable increase of business. I have, &c, The General Manager, W. H. Gaw, New Zealand Eailways, Wellington. Chief Traffic Manager.
