PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT BY THE HON. W. HALL-JONES, MINISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS, 28th OCTOBER, 1904.
Mr. Speaker,— It is my pleasing duty to place before honourable members my ninth consecutive Public Works Statement, and to report that satisfactory progress has been made with the various works in hand. The progress may not have been so rapid as some would wish, but it must be gauged by the. sums available for the several works. Honourable members must bear in mind that every mile of railway constructed and every chain of road completed is so-much done towards establishing the means of communication necessary for the development of the country in which we live. Each year marks so-much of this work accomplished. Our pioneer settlers who go to the back blocks and by their energy and perseverance bring hitherto waste lands into cultivation must, so far as means permit, be assisted in their efforts by the formation of roads and the extension of railways, so that the products of the soil may be conveyed to the colonial markets or the nearest ports of shipment for export. Our colony has so many natural advantages that to neglect so important a public policy would be to place a great restriction upon the expansion of trade. The marked increase in the exports during recent years could not have been reached but for the improved means of internal communication. As the years go by this great work is being gradually accomplished, and I look forward to the time when, by the completion of the main lines of railway and of our road systems, together with the increased population induced by the settlement of the people upon the land, we shall reap to the full extent the benefits derived from the work which has been and is being carried out. In my last Statement honourable members were informed of the completion of 64 miles 60 chains of railway. Since that date the following sections have been finished: — M. oh. Poro-o-tarao-Taumarunui (Ist December, 1903) ... ... ... 27 36 Owaka-Catlin's (Ist August, 1904) ... ... ... ... 3 38 Ida Valley-Ophir (Ist September, 1904) ... ... ... ... 13 30 Mangaweka-Taihape (12th September, 1904) ... ... ... 13 18 Kawakawa-Kopuru (ready) ... ... ... ... ... 8 0 Paeroa-Karangahake (ready) ... ... ... ... ... 4 30 Taumarunui-Piriaka (ready) ... ... ... ... ... 6 48 Otarama-Staircase (ready) ... ... ... ... ... 5 3 Total ... ... ... ... ... 81 43

The expenditure during last financial year was in excess of the previous year, but was not equal to that during 1901- - 2. The following table shows, as regards each class of work, (a) the total expenditure from the inauguration of the public-works policy to the 31st December, 1890 ; (5) the similar expenditure between the Ist January, 1891, and the 31st March, 1904; (c) the gross total expenditure to the 31st March, 1904 ; and (d) the expenditure for the late financial year: —
WAYS AND MEANS. At the 31st March, 1903, the available balance of ways and means for public-works purposes was ,£338,565; and further funds were received as under:— Balance of £1,000,000 loan raised under the Act of 1902 ... 740,000 Amount raised under the Act of 1903 ... ... ... 583,950 Debentures issued under Midland Railway Petitions Settlements Acts ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 150,000 Transferred from revenue ... ... ... ... ... 350,000 Miscellaneous receipts ... ... ... ... ... 1,665 Making a gross total of ... ... ...£2,164,180 The expenditure of the year (including the £150,000 paid to the Midland Eailway debenture-holders) amounted to £1,770,378, leaving a credit balance at the end of the year of £393,802,

For the current year it is proposed to provide additional funds as under : — £ Balance of 1903 loan ... ... ... ... ... ... 416,050 New loan of 1904 ... ... ... ... ... ... 750,000 The Consolidated Fund should be able to assist with ... ... 650,000 This will give a total available ways and means of £2,209,852. The estimated expenditure for public works for the current year (excluding separate accounts having their own ways and means) amounts to £1,403,100, thus leaving a balance of £806,752 to be carried forward to next year. RAILWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. No new railway-works were started last year, but those already in hand were further proceeded with. The following is a brief statement of what has been done on each of the lines since the 31st March, 1903, and of what is proposed for the current year: — Kawakawa-Grahamtown. The section at the northern end of this line, which was approaching completion when my last statement was delivered, has since been finished, and is now available for the carriage of goods. It is not proposed to open it for regular passenger traffic at present. At the southern end the bridge over the Whangarei River has just been completed, and the earthwork approaches are now being filled in. The formation-works between the bridge and Grahamtown are proceeding satisfactorily, and the construction of some small timber bridges is about to be commenced. Extensive soundings and borings at the wharf-site have been made, and the plans of the proposed structure are now being prepared. The survey of the connecting-link between the present terminus of the northern section and Hukerenui has been completed. The total expenditure on this railway last year amounted to £10,914, and for the current year a vote of £10,000 is proposed. Helensville Northwards. The work on this line has again been considerably retarded by slips. The formation is complete, the rails laid, and the line ballasted up to the Ahuroa Tunnel at 55 miles 30 chains. This tunnel has been pierced, and is now being lined, and will be finished by about Christmas. Beyond the tunnel the earthworks are in hand as far as Mahurangi, and will be ready to receive the rails as soon as they can be transported through the tunnel. Tenders for the Mahurangi Station buildings are also about to be invited. When the line is completed to this point it will be of considerable use to the northern settlements. I hope that it will be available for traffic by about the end of the current financial year. The authorisation of a further section of this line, twenty miles in length —viz., to the southern boundary of the Maungatapere Parish—is provided for in the Railways Authorisation Bill now before Parliament. The expenditure last year amounted to £11,788. For the current year a vote of £10,000 is asked for. Paeroa-Waihi. The section to Karangahake has been open for goods traffic since the beginning of the year, and considerable freight has been carried over it. Progress with rail-laying is blocked immediately beyond Karangahake by the longtunnel which occurs directly after crossing the Ohinemuri River just outside the Karangahake Station yard. Work in this tunnel is being carried on day and night, and 'satisfactory progress is being made with it. The heading is now right through, and the tunnel will probably be completely finished, including lining throughout, before the end of the year. Contracts have been let to Messrs. J. and A. Anderson, of Christchurch, for the steel superstructure of the bridges over the second and third crossings of the Ohinemuri River, the concrete piers and abutments having been constructed by the Department's own workmen. The latter are finished, and the former work is making good progress, some of the steelwork having been delivered, and being now in course of erection.
III
D.—l.
Tenders for the Waikino Station buildings are about to be invited, and the line to that point, three miles and a half from Karangahake, will probably be available for traffic by about May next. The amount spent on this line last year was £26,463. During the current year about £40,000 will be required. The expenditure on this line is now charged to a separate account established under the special legislation of last session. GISBORNE-RoTORUA. The bridge over the Waipaoa River was finished last month, and the rails laid over it, and it is now in daily use for ballast traffic. Tbe short tunnel between Kaiteratahi and Karaka is excavated, and is now being lined, and will shortly be finished. The rest of the formation-works to Karaka are practically completed, and tenders for the Waipaoa and Karaka Station buildings will shortly be invited. Rail-laying has been resumed, and it is hoped to have the section ready for traffic by about the end of the financial year. The survey of the projected extension to Motu has been put in hand, and the party kept in the field as long as the weather would admit of satisfactory work being done. Field-work has now been resumed, and should make good progress during the coming summer. The formal authorisation of this section of the line is provided for in the Railways Authorisation Bill of the present year. The expenditure last year amounted to £14,330, and for the current year an appropriation of £10,000 is proposed. Stratford-Ongarue. The formation-works on the Oruru Section bave been completed, rail-laying and ballasting are now in hand, and tenders for the erection of the station buildings are about to be invited. I hope the line will be available for goods traffic soon after the end of this month, and for passenger traffic by about the end of November. Beyond Oruru the somewhat extensive survey to determine the best route for the line to follow has been completed, and there is now, I think, sufficient information in the possession of the Department to enable a decision to be arrived at when the time comes for taking in hand another section of the line. The expenditure last year was £8,713, and a vote for £7,000 —sufficient to complete the line to Oruru—is proposed on the estimates now submitted. Mount Egmont Branch. Owing to the large amount of work which Parliament had in hand last session there was not time to pass the Railways Authorisation Bill which was submitted, and consequently the construction of this railway could not be proceeded with. It is again proposed in the similar Bill this year. If authorised by Parliament, construction can be taken in hand as soon as the necessary surveys of the portion now proposed to be constructed have been completed. Rock deposits exist at about 3 miles 50 chains from Waipuku, but exhaustive prospecting has shown that they are not of an extensive character. The survey of the line was accordingly continued to a rock face on the Manganui River, about 3,400 ft. above sea-level, which had already been proved by tunnelling by the Railway Department. To reach this point, however, nearly two miles of wire-rope tram on a gradient of 1 in 10 would be required, beyond the possible limits of an ordinary railway. Careful search was then made with a view to discovering an extensive rock deposit at a lower level, with the result that such has been found in the Waingongoro River 550 ft. below the Manganui face. It is possible to carry an ordinary railway all the way to this point, but a gradient of lin 22 will be necessary at the upper end of the line. The distance is also somewhat less than to the Manganui face. The permanent survey has therefore been made to the Waingongoro deposit, a distance of 9 miles 24 chains from Waipuku. For the first six miles the line will be of very easy construction indeed, but the upper portion will cost more, though still not of an unusually expensive character. It will not be necessary to make the whole railway at once, as a section of about five miles will open up sufficient rock to last for some time.

Only £850 was actually charged against last year's vote, but the full £5,000 will be required during the current year, and a vote for that sum is included in the estimates accordingly. North Island Main Trunk. Satisfactory progress is being made at both the Auckland and Wellington ends of this railway. At the Auckland end regular daily passenger traffic is now carried on as far as Taumarunui—a distance of 175 miles from Auckland — and the line is available for goods and material traffic to the Kakahi Bridge, nearly ten miles further. The Waitea Bridge is finished, and material trains are being run over it. The Kakahi Bridge is also approaching completion, and as soon as it is available the rails will be laid, across it and on to about 188 miles, where they will be stopped for a time by the heavy work in hand there. The formation-works extend to and beyond Ovvhango, and the construction of the service road, which is being formed to facilitate the works on the railway, is in hand to Oio. It is proposed during the current year to continue the construction of this service road. The works at the Auckland and Wellington ends of the line are making such progress that the time is not far distant when they will be in touch with each other. The service road will have to be carried through sooner or later, and as soon as it is completed a light coach can be run from the rail-head at the Auckland end to Raetihi, in the Wellington Province, connecting there with the existing coach service between Pipiriki, Waiouru, and Taihape. At present passengers from the neighbourhood of Taumarunui, Piriaka, and Kakahi (which is well on towards half-way between Auckland and Wellington) desiring to travel to Wellington have either to proceed from Taumarunui by canoe down the Wanganui River, or else travel by rail to Auckland, in a direction opposite to that in which they desire to go, for a distance of 185 miles, before really proceeding in a southerly direction at all. The completion of the service road, while also greatly facilitating the construction of the railway, would at once open a new and highly interesting tourist route, and would greatly facilitate travelling between the extreme southern portion of the Auckland Province and Wellington. At the Wellington end of the railway the section between Mangaweka and Taihape has now been completed and handed over to the Railway Department for passenger traffic. For the convenience of settlers goods had been carried over the line by the Public Works Department for some short time previously. Beyond Taihape the formation is complete as far as the tunnel at 46 miles 20 chains. A heading has been driven through this tunnel, and the rails will now be laid up to it for the transport of the materials for lining. By the time this tunnel has been lined it is expected that the formation to the Mataroa Tunnel, at 49 miles 40 chains, will be ready for the laying of the permanent-way, which would then be extended to that point in order to provide for the carriage of the lining materials for the tunnel. From Mataroa to Turangarere the formation-work is in hand, and a start has'been made on the Waiouru Section. Instructions have also recently been issued to make a commencement with some rather heavy cuttings a short distance beyond Waiouru. The works at the southern end of the line will be gradually getting into easier country shortly, and more rapid progress can then be made. The expenditure on the line last year amounted to £174,480, being £62,318 in excess of that for the previous year. For the current year a vote of £150,000 is asked for. Blenheim- Waipara . The formation-works on the section between Scargill and near the Hurunui River have practically been completed, and rail-laying has been begun. The large bridge over the Hurunui has also been finished. Some little work has been done in the Hurunui Gorge, but some treacherous ground having been met with, a slight deviation of the line will be necessary. Surveys of this have lately been made, and the new location determined upon, so that as the men finish their work on the section south of the bridge they can be moved forward to the work in the gorge and on to the Cheviot. The line as far as
V
D.-i.
Hurunui Station will probably be available for goods traffic by about the end of the financial year. The expenditure on the railway last year totalled to £27,815. For the current year a vote of £25,000 is proposed. Midland. At the Nelson end the formation of the line to the Motueka River has been finished, and the rails laid; the combined road and railway bridge over that river has been built, and is now in use ; the formation-works in the direction of Tadmor are nearing completion ; and rail-laying on the Tadmor Section has been begun. Goods traffic is also being carried, over the section between Motupiko and Maniaroa. Tenders for the erection of the station buildings at Tadmor are about to be invited. Provision is made for a further section of this line, ten and a half miles in length, in the Railways Authorisation Bill which is now before the Legislature. At the Reefton end considerable bush-clearing has been done, and some progress made with the earthworks. The bridge over the Inangahua at Reefton has been finished, and the combined road and railway bridge over the same river at the Landing is well in hand. The cylinders are in position, and nearly all the material required for the rest of the bridge is on the site. A contract has also been let for the bridge over the Waitahu River, and the materials for its construction are now being delivered, and pile-driving has been begun. Raillaying will shortly be started, and arrangements made for the removal of the station buildings at Reefton to the new station-site, which will be much nearer the centre of the town than the present station, and will be on the same side of the river as the town. Mr. V. G. Bogue's final report on the location of the Arthur's Pass Section of the railway has come to hand, and honourable members will be gratified to know that the opinions of the Government's engineering staff have been fully confirmed. The surveys hitherto made have only been of a preliminary character, so as to enable the engineers to definitely determine which line it would be best to adopt. A decision having been arrived at on this point, the work of making a detailed final survey of the adopted line has now been taken in hand. The works involved are of a nature to require very careful and exact surveys to be made, and these have been intrusted to Mr. J. H Dobson, who has already done so much survey-work on the line both for the Midland Railway Company and the Government, and is consequently more familiar with the ground than any other officer on the Government staff. For a tunnel of such length as the one proposed at Arthur's Pass it will be necessary to obtain up-to-date boring machinery; and inquiries as to the best class of appliances to be adopted, and also as to the best means of ventilating the tunnel when constructed, are now being made. At the Canterbury end of the line satisfactory progress has been made with the very heavy construction-works in hand there. The foundations for the Staircase Viaduct are now in hand by the Department's own workmen, and the contractors for the steel pier and superstructure have the manufacture of the material well in hand, a portion of it being nearly ready for shipment. A plan of this viaduct appears as an appendix to this Statement. The section now being carried out is the heaviest on the line between Canterbury and Westland, except the long tunnel at Arthur's Pass. Between the present workings and the Summit tunnel there is about twenty-five miles of quite easy country. The expenditure on the Midland Railway during the year amounted to £53,547. For the current year a vote of £60,000 is proposed. Ngahere-Blackball. The large road and railway bridge over the Grey River has been finished, as well as the road approaches thereto, but formation-work on the railway itself has only just been started. The survey which was in progress when my last Statement was made, to ascertain the practicability and probable cost of carrying
VI
D.—l.
the line up to the adit of the Blackball Mine, has been finished. It is found that, with a maximum gradient of 1 in 40, the line can be carried up to a point on the left bank of Ford's Creek, and close to the mine-adit, at an estimated cost of about £30,000, in addition to the sum already expended on the bridge and approaches, and if the vote appearing on the estimates now submitted is duly passed by Parliament the work will be gone on with. The expenditure last year amounted to £19,538, and the vote proposed for the current year is £10,000. Coal Creek. This railway, extending from the Government railway-station at Greymouth to the newly opened State Coal-mine, a distance of about five miles, has been completed with the exception of a few small works at the terminus, and a considerable coal traffic is now being carried over it. Last year's expenditure amounted to £23,112. The amount does not appear as a disbursement out of the Public Works Fund, as it is made a charge against the State Coalmines Account, which is a separate account. To cover the works carried out since the 31st March last, and to complete the line, a vote of £10,000 is provided on the Consolidated Fund estimates. GRE YMOUTH-HOKITIKA-ROSS. The combined road and railway bridge over the Hokitika River is practically finished, and will shortly be available for traffic. The formation on the first five miles of the line is nearly ready, and platelaying will soon be begun. Owing to the payments which had to be made on the Hokitika Bridge contract, the expenditure last year amounted to £25,063, but a smaller sum will suffice for the current year, and a vote of £15,000 is accordingly asked for. Otago Central. The section between Ida Valley and Ophir has been completed and opened for traffic. Goods traffic as far as Lauder has been run since quite early in the year, and similar traffic has been carried to Ophir since July last. The line was opened for passenger traffic to Ophir on the Ist September. The earthworks on the Chatto Creek Section are well in hand, and a contract has been entered into for the bridge over the second crossing of the Manuherikia River. The next section of this line to be opened will be the section to Chatto Creek, a distance of eight miles and a half. This will bring the railway within ten miles and a half of Alexandra. Last year's expenditure amounted to £47,997. For the current year a vote of £50,000 is provided. Heriot Extension. The formation-works on this extension have now been completed, and the bridges nearly so. A contract has been let for the station buildings at Edie, and considerable progress made with the work. A part of the rail-laying has been done, and the rest is now in hand, and every effort will be made to have the line available for traffic as early as possible. Disbursements last year were £6,057, being a few pounds in excess of the vote provided. For the current year an appropriation of £8,000 is asked for. Catlin's-Seaward Bush. The work at the Catlin's end, which was in progress last year, has now been finished, and regular goods and passenger traffic has been run since the Ist August. A survey party has also been at work on the next section for several months, and the position of the line determined for some eleven miles. It is proposed to carry the survey right through to a junction with the Seaward Bush line at Waimahaka. The Railways Authorisation Bill now before ment provides for the formal authorisation of a further section of four miles at the Catlin's end of the line.
VII
d:—i.
The expenditure on this railway last year amounted to £6,811, and for the present year a vote of £8,000 is asked for. Riversdale-Switzers. The combined road and railway bridge over the Mataura River has been finished, and was opened for road traffic in April last. Formation-works on this railway, with the exception of the embankments leading on to the bridge at each end, were completed several years ago for a distance of seven miles. An extension of about 55 chains would bring the line to a point where a station could be conveniently located alongside the main road to Switzers. To complete the line to this point, including rails, sleepers, station buildings, &c, would cost about £17,000. When opportunity offers this work should be taken in hand. The expenditure on the work during last financial year amounted to £2,639, and a vote of £2,000 is asked for this ye*ar to meet expenditure already incurred. Orepuki-Waiau . As mentioned in my last year's Statement, the section to Waihoaka was handed over to the Railway Department for regular traffic in October, 1903. The expenditure out of last year's vote amounted to £3,956. Total Appropriations for Railway-construction. Including the amounts for the Paeroa-Waihi and the Coal Creek lines, which are both chargeable to special separate accounts, and the votes for old land-claims (£1,000), surveys of new lines (£3,000), and permanent-way materials (£60,000), the total proposed appropriations for railway-construction purposes amount to £484,000. ROADS AND BRIDGES. The ordinary work of the Department of Roads for the year was comprised under four votes (three under the Public Works Fund and one under the Government Loans to Local Bodies Account) containing together 2,051 items, each of which represented a separate work. The total amount voted for expenditure under these four votes was £400,704, out of which the actual net expenditure (inclusive of a sum of £398 charged to Unauthorised) was £322,694. In addition to this, the sum of £19,099 was expended by the Department on road-works, &c, out of the Land for Settlements Account. The actual net expenditure, therefore, out of all votes and accounts for road-works under the control of the Roads Department was £341,793. The total authorisations outstanding at the 31st March, 1903, out of all votes and accounts was £337,689. During the year 1903-4 there was authorised the sum of £261,163, making a total issue of £598,852, of which a gross sum of £345,777 was expended and £94,493 cancelled, leaving £158,582 of authorities outstanding at the Ist April, 1904, which is £179,107 less than at the beginning of the year. The total length of roads dealt with by the Department of Roads during the past year amounted, in all, to 5,458 miles—viz., 426 miles dray-roads and 201 miles bricde-roads constructed; 577 miles dray-roads and 239 miles bridle-roads improved; 2,696 miles dray-roads and 1,319 miles bridle-roads maintained. There were also, including those subsidised by Government, 118 bridges of over 30 ft. span built, totalling 10,428 ft., and 490 miles of engineering survey completed. These figures include 82 miles of roads constructed, improved, or maintained, and twelve bridges, totalling 495 ft., and 81 miles of engineering survey, on estates purchased under the Land for Settlements Act, the cost of which is charged to the Land for Settlements Account. They also include 78 miles of roads improved or maintained out of moneys under the control of the Minister of Mines. In addition to the above, the Department manages the work of legalising, closing, and deviating roads for Government and local bodies, and taking land therefor under the Public Works and other Acts, and settling disputes between
VIII
D.—l.
local bodies as to the apportionment of the cost of constructing or maintaining bridges or roads. Under this division 242 Proclamations, Orders in Council, and other documents were issued during the year in connection with roads, bridges, and some other minor public works which also fall within the province of the Department. This class of work is largely on the increase. Most of the new roads and bridle-roads have been made to give access to lands recently taken up, although a considerable amount has been spent in the older districts on bridges and other improvements to roads. As long as it is the policy of the Government to settle people on land to which no roads have been made it should be a cardinal point of such policy to construct at least unmetalled dray-roads to the lands so disposed of, and the expenditure required for that purpose should take precedence of road expenditure in localities which already are road eel up to that degree. In connection with this I may mention that during the year under review 1,959 holdings, mostly in unroaded districts, have been disposed of, exclusive of those on estates acquired for closer settlement under the Land for Settlements Act. I find that some local bodies have probably misunderstood the policy in handing over constructed roads to them for maintenance ; and I wish to take this opportunity of emphasizing the advisability of such a policy, both in the interests of the settlers and the local bodies themselves. Under the system in vogue until recently there were many miles of road which had been formed by the Government and were still maintained by them. The result was that a considerable portion of the moneys appropriated by Parliament was expended in repairs to existing roads, and consequently the Government have been hampered in their efforts to develop new country. I think it will appeal to honourable members as a more business-like policy that when a road is formed it should be handed over for maintenance to the local body in whose district it is situated, thus leaving the Government free to utilise to the fullest advantage the sums available for opening up new roads, converting bridle-tracks into dray-roads, and otherwise improving the means of communication. I feel convinced that by so doing we shall obtain the best results possible with the means at our disposal, thus minimising the difficulties with which our back-block settlers have to contend, and giving the fullest scope to the development of the natural advantages and the productiveness which our colony undoubtedly possesses. The appropriations proposed for the current year are as under:— £ Roads, Departmental ... ... ... ... ... ... 18,605 Roads generally ... ... ... ... ... 246,439 Maintenance of main roads ... ... ... ... ... 28,458 Tourist roads ... ... ... ... ... ... 16,498 Government Loans to Local Bodies Account ... ... ... 35,000 Land for Settlements Account ... ... ... ... ... 6,910 Total ... ... ... ... ... £351,910 Roads on Goldpields (Mines Department). The vote last year under this head amounted to £31,200. The expenditure, however, considerably exceeded this sum, having amounted to £45,594, with contingent liabilities at the end of the year of £23,375. The sum proposed to be authorised for the current year is £68,621, on account of which a vote of £35,000 is asked for. DEVELOPMENT OP GOLDPIELDS AND MINING. As already announced in the Financial Statement, the returns from goldmining continue to increase, and the anticipated amount of over £2,000,000 as the value of gold which would be exported during the late year was realised, the amount having been £2,037,831, being an increase on the previous year of £86,398.
ii—D. 1.

D.—l.
The quantity of gold entered for export during 1903 was 533,314 oz., valued at £2,037,831, and of silver 911,9140z., valued at £91,497; as compared with 508,045 oz. of gold, valued at £1,951,433, and of silver 674,196 oz., valued at £71,975, for 1902 ; being an increase of 25,269 oz. of gold, valued at £86,398, and 237,718 oz. of silver, valued at £19,522. The amount expended last financial year on works for the development of the goldfields was £16,278, while the liabilities at the close of the year amounted to £2,039. It is proposed to take a vote of £14,000 for the current year. TOURIST AND HEALTH RESORTS. The expenditure under this heading during the year amounted to £15,643, a large portion of which was spent in and around Rotorua. Other items included the purchase of Glade House (Lake Te Anau), and improvements at Hanmer and Queenstown. This year important improvements at Hanmer, Te Aroha, Waikaremoana, and Rotorua have to be provided for, as well as for the enlargement of Pukaki House, and Glade House, Te Anau. Provision is also made for the oil-launches purchased to meet the increased traffic on Lakes Tarawera and Rotomahana. The gross authorisation asked for amounts to £26,648, on account of which a vote of £25,000 is proposed. TELEGRAPH-EXTENSION. The expenditure on telegraph-extension during the year amounted to £47,227. The more important telegraph and telephone lines constructed were Ngaruawahia-Waingaro, Gladstone-Te Wharau, Martinborough-Pahaoa, Tai-hape-Ruanui, Pelorus, Kurow-Omarama, Clinton-Balclutha, Mokihinui-Kara-mea, and Wellington-New Plymouth. There were 1,472 new subscribers to the telephone exchanges, the expenditure on which absorbed the greater proportion of the vote. The amount allocated for this year is £60,000, including £43,877 liabilities. This leaves only £16,123 for new work not already authorised. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The total expenditure on public buildings last year amounted to £268,533 — namely, £29,526 on school buildings and £22,815 on other buildings, both out of the Consolidated Fund, and £216,192 out of the Public Works Fund. For the current year votes totalling £25,075 under the Consolidated Fund (in addition to the vote for school buildings, which has now been placed under Class XIII., Minister of Education) and £177,000 under the Public Works Fund are proposed; and in all probability a further sum will be asked for on the supplementary estimates. General. Under this head the expenditure amounted to £11,566, the principal items being the new Departmental Buildings at Napier and the offices and laboratory for the Mines Department at Wellington. For the current year a vote of £9,000 is asked for, which provides for the completion of the offices and laboratory for the Mines Department, Wellington, offices for the Defence Department at the Alexandra Depot, Wellington, the completion of the first portion of the new Departmental Buildings, Napier, and for making a commencement with the proposed similar buildings at Auckland, &c. Judicial. Courthouses. —A new Courthouse was erected at Levin and a new Magistrate's Court at Wellington. Besides these, additions or somewhat extensive renovations were made at Rawene, Ormondville, Manaia, Wellington (Supreme Court), and Westport.
X
D— 1.
For the current year votes are proposed for the following: New Courthouses at Hamilton, Tauranga, and Campbelltown ; the completion of the new buildings at Wellington and Dunedin; and additions or improvements at Shortland, Hastings, Woodville, Stratford, Westport, Hokitika, and Timaru. Gaols. —The expenditure under this head was in excess of that for the previous year, but was still not large. The principal work in hand was the additions to the Wellington Gaol, which are now complete and occupied. Other works of less magnitude were undertaken at Auckland, Gisborne, Dunedin. and elsewhere. In the current year's vote provision is made for continuing the work at Auckland, further additions at Wellington, and for minor works at Napier, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Hokitika, Timaru, Dunedin, and Invercargill. Police-stations. —A large number of buildings were dealt with under this head, but no individual work involved any large expenditure. This year votes are proposed for new stations at Newton, Waiuku, Raglan, and Gore; and increased accommodation or improvements at Auckland, Cambridge, Taumarunui, Hastings, Palmerston North, Greymouth, Amberley, Rangiora, Sumner, New Brighton, Belfast, Temuka, Timaru, Pleasant Point, Dunedin, and Invercargill, besides minor works at numerous other places. Post and Telegraph. The expenditure on post and telegraph buildings and sites was considerably less than during the previous year. The principal item was the purchase of a valuable property in Christchurch to provide for a much needed enlargement of the Chief Post-office in that city. The appropriation proposed for the current year provides for new offices at Parnell, Grey Lynn, Whakarewarewa, Whakatane, Tauranga, Waipiro Bay, Tokomaru Bay, New Plymouth, Pungarehu, Taihape, Bull's, Palmerston North, Otaki, Hutt, Nelson, Millerton, Brunnerton, Greymouth, St. Albans, Mornington, Waikaka, Winton, Otautau, and Stewart Island ; also additional accommodation or improvements at Mangonui, Auckland, Te Awamutu, Napier, Dannevirke, Waitotara, Shannon, Pahiatua, Wellington, Picton, Westport, Reefton, Christchurch, Akaroa, Timaru, Pembroke, Queenstown, Gore, Invercargill, and Bluff. Customhouses. The expenditure under this head was almost wholly in connection with the new Customhouse at Wellington. This building is now getting on towards completion, but the contractor is much behindhand with Lis work, which ought to have been completed in April last. The vote proposed for the current year provides for the completion of this building and the necessary fittings and furniture. Lunatic Asylums. The expenditure on buildings of the above class totalled to £15,812, being principally in connection with the institutions at Porirua and Sunnyside. For the current year a larger expenditure is anticipated, provision being made in the estimates for the completion of the auxiliary buildings at Porirua and Sunnyside, and for additions at Auckland and Seacliff, &c. Schools. The amount voted for school buildings last year totalled to £124,025— namely, £29,725 under the Consolidated Fund, and £94,300 under the Public Works Fund. The expenditure amounted to £116,615 —namely, £29,526 under the Consolidated Fund, and £87,089 under the Public Works Fund. The great bulk of the money was expended through the agency of the Education Boards, practically the only school-building works controlled by the Government being the buildings for Native and industrial schools, and the School for Deaf-mutes. Native schools were erected or are now in course of erection at Puniho, Te Kaha, Waitahanui, Oruanui, Te Rawhiti, Mangarongo, and Wairnarama ; also
XI
D.—l.
new residences at Te Teko, Kenana, and Kaiapoi, and additions made to the residences at Pamoana and Whakarewarewa, and to the schools at Hauaroa, Oromahoe, Ruatoke, and Waioweka; and the school buildings at Tapuaeharuru have been moved to a more suitable and central site. For the current year a total appropriation of £103,615 is asked for—-namely, £33,615 under the Consolidated Fund, and £70,000 under the Public Works Fund. Other Buildings. An expenditure of £4,291 took place in connection with our general hospitals, the largest items being grants towards the erection of new buildings at Northern Wairoa and Waihi. Over £6,000 was also expended in connection with the Sanatorium for Consumptives at Cambridge, and about £2,500 on buildings for the Agricultural Department, the principal one being the new Veterinary Laboratory and offices at Wallaceville. For the current year provision is made as under : — Agricultural. —Bone-sterilising works at Auckland and the Bluff; completion of new laboratory, Wallaceville; land for viticultural nursery, Te Mata, &c. General Hosjntals. —Grants for new buildings or additions at Whangarei, Coromandel, Masterton, Picton, Blenheim, Westport, Greymouth, Hokitika, &c. Public Health. —Infectious Diseases Hospital, Auckland; further improvements Cambridge Sanatorium ; and some minor works. LIGHTHOUSES, HARBOUR-WORKS, AND HARBOUR DEFENCES. The Kahurangi Lighthouse was completed, considerable work done at Cape Campbell, and minor works at Cape Maria and Jack's Point, the total expenditure having amounted to £6,206. For the current year votes are provided for carrying on the work at Cape Campbell, and for finishing works at Kahurangi and Jack's Point. The expenditure on harbour-works was very small, having amounted to £1,772 only. For the current year provision is made for improving the channels, Waipu, Onehunga, and Karamea ; new wharves at Mercury Bay, Mokau, and Bruce Bay ; some harbour improvements at Collingwood ; and further protective works at St. Clair. The expenditure under the head of harbour defences has now been brought within very narrow limits—last year's disbursements totalling to only £2,885. For the current year a vote of £4,000 is proposed. UTILISATION OF WATER-POWER. In my last Statement I alluded to the arrival in the colony of Mr. L. M. Hancock, M.A.1.E.E., and stated that he was then engaged in examining some of the most likely sources of power with the view of preparing a report thereon. Mr. Hancock spent eighty-two days in the colony, and was fully occupied in acquiring information during the whole of that time, and consequently had to defer the writing of his report until after his return to America. The report was received in due course, but as it seemed to require amendment in some respects Mr. Hancock was communicated with on the subject before submitting it to Parliament, so that any alterations found necessary therein might be duly made before publication. I expected to receive a reply by the mail which reached here on the 27th September ;" but, as no communication came to hand, it is probable Mr. Hancock was away from San Francisco when my letter arrived there, and we shall therefore have to await the arrival of his explanations. If Mr. Hancock's reply to my letter is not received before the close of the session a copy of his report will be submitted to Parliament without awaiting his revisions. Mr. Hancock's report does not perhaps go into details to the extent that some honourable members might desire, but it clearly shows that there are
XII
D.— 1.
vast possibilities ahead of us in the matter of the utilisation of our enormous water-powers, which are evidently amongst the colony's greatest natural resources. As a more detailed report seemed to be desirable, so that the country might be apprised of the enormous energy only awaiting the application of intelligence and capital to turn it into a great source of national wealth, much further information has been collected since Mr. Hancock's departure, and a further and more detailed report on the subject has been prepared by Mr. P. S. Hay, M.A., M.lnst.C.E., the Superintending Engineer of the Public Works Department. Mr. Hay accompanied Mr. Hancock during the whole of his tour through the colony, and constantly conferred with him on the subject of our water-powers, and has, in addition, given the subject much personal study. His report, which has now been placed in the hands of honourable members, contains a mass of information of great value, and will convince the most sceptical of the great future that is before this colony as the manufacturing centre of the Pacific. The power shown to be available is so enormous, and can be developed at such a low cost per horse-power, that manufactures and industries at present unthoughtof in New Zealand must before long be established, and their products shipped hence to all parts of Australia and the Pacific Coasts, as well as to more distant lands. So many great and potential schemes lie ready to our hand that we are embarrassed by their number and variety. It therefore becomes a matter of difficulty to determine where to begin in the matter of their utilisation. Mr. Hay shows that the schemes on which he has reported (and many others may, of course, be possible) would develop energy equal to 3,700,000--horse power, about thirty times the amount of power now used in the colony for both tractive and industrial purposes, and considerably in excess of the total fixed steam-power used in the United Kingdom up to 1888, the date of the latest industrial statistics available at the moment. The great bulk of this power is in the South Island, but there is sufficient available in the North Island to meet all present requirements and to provide for considerable future development. The expenditure involved in converting all this waste energy into useful industrial power would, as might be expected, run into millions. It is estimated that the cost of schemes sufficient to displace all the steam, gas, and other plants at present in use in the colony, as well as to provide for the running of all the railways electrically, would amount to about £12,000,000. The information so far obtained, however, though extensive and valuable, is by no means complete, and the reports presented, though able and interesting, are not by any means exhaustive. Much further inquiry yet remains to be made, and further attention will be devoted to the matter with the view of definite proposals being submitted to Parliament. CONCLUSION. Honourable members may rest assured that in allocating the moneys available every consideration has been given to what are considered the most urgent and necessary works. The funds at our disposal should be sufficient to enable the several works to be proceeded with at- a fair rate, and I am satisfied that the result of the current year's work will tend materially to the further development and the continued prosperity of our colony.

FINAL EEPOET OF ME. VIEGIL G. BOGUE, C.E., ON THE AETHCE'S PASS PEOBLEM. Sib,— New York, 14th July, 1904. In the first report on the Arthur's Pass problem which I had the honour to make to you, under date of the 17th February, 1902, it was recommended that certain surveys be made, and it was remarked that, " In making the surveys 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 map the effect of slight changes of gradient can be tried, and the best possible location determined." The surveys thus referred to were made by your engineer, Mr. Dobson, also the maps, profiles, and estimates, which, under cover of a short report to you by Mr. P. S. Hay, Superintending Engineer, and a letter of transmittal from the Under-Secretary, Mr. H. J. H. Blow, were sent to me on the 29th September, 1903. They were promptly received, as per my letter of the 31st October following. These were followed by a subsequent letter from the UnderSecretary, enclosing, as per request of my said letter of 31st October, some details of the estimates. In order that the record may be quite complete, Mr. Hay's report and the several letters and estimates, &c, referred to appear herewith as an appendix, also the maps and profiles have been reduced to smaller scales, and prints thereof are also appended, all being submitted as part of this report. In supplementary reports which I made to you, the first dated the 16th May, 1902, and the second 27th June, 1903, some data and information were presented which had especial bearing on working-costs of suggested routes, also on tunnel-ventilation and electric traction as applied in long tunnels. These supplementary reports as to working-costs confirmed my original report in its conclusions that, on the whole, and so far as could then be known, line B 1 would be the best. The surveys, however, have demonstrated the fact that the cost of line B 1 would exceed the amount assumed by me in the sum of £30,000. They have also disclosed the situation respecting line A 4, referred to by Mr. Hay, which was discussed in a tentative way by Messrs. Hay, Dobson, and myself, but without any conclusion at the time, that enough information relative thereto could be presented to make it worthy of mention, in a formal report. The outcome has fully justified the expenditure of time and money required by the surveys, &c, since we now have in line A 4 a route upon which I am satisfied all can unite as the best that can be had, as will be outlined in the following pages. Teaffic and Assistant Locomotives. For the same volume of traffic and train-lengths assumed and used in my former reports, I have estimated the variable elements of the working-costs of these lines, making use of more recent data relating to fuel-consumption per locomotive-mile and the effect of rise and fall and curvature on maintenance-costs. In doing this, I have simplified my former methods where possible. For the gradients of the several lines discussed in this report, full-rated trains arriving at Otira from the west with a single locomotive will reach the summit with the help of one assistant locomotive of the same class. The assistant locomotive is assumed to be detached at the summit and returned light to Otira, one locomotive being sufficient to haul the west-bound trains up the grade from Bealey to the summit. With the lines of lesser gradients there will be some surplus of motive power by this arrangement ; but, with the method of computing motive-power costs used, this will not materially affect the comparisons. Geade and" Teain-eesistance. The resistance due to gradient —20 lb. per ton of 2,000 lb. per each per-cent. of grade—is added to the train-resistance, which for the speed assumed of ten miles per hour on maximum grades, or twelve miles per hour on lesser grades, is taken at 658 lb. per long ton, as in previous reports, this figure not varying materially between speeds of seven and a half and fifteen miles per hour. For slower speeds the train-resistance increases slightly, and also increases constantly at higher speeds, its minimum occurring at a speed of about twelve miles per hour. Eesistance due to Cuevatuee. Most of the curvature of the several lines occurs between Otira and the summit, but its distribution as between one side of the summit and the other is not given in the data. In order to get a uniform comparison fair to all lines, it is assumed that all of the curve-resistance would take place between Otira and the summit. The curvature given in Mr. Hay's report is therefore reduced to an equivalent grade on straight track, extending over a distance equal to the percentage of line curved, at the rate of four-one-hundredths of a foot per degree of curve. For each line and weight of train, Tables II to IX, inclusive, give the length in miles of each rate of grade, the speed used for each grade, the total resistance due to grade, friction, &c, and the total resistance due to curvature, also the total resistance of the west-bound train from Bealey to the summit.

The length in miles for each rate of grade multiplied by the total resistance for that grade and speed, gives the mile-pounds, which is a term that can readily be reduced to foot-pounds or horsepower. Tractive Powee. The tractive power of the Class B locomotive assumed has been computed by the method of my second supplementary report, further investigation having confirmed me in the view, that for the assumed speeds, there is no more satisfactory or accurate way of determining this important factor. Cost of Operation and Maintenance. The elements of cost of operation and maintenance are as follows : Maintenance of way; ventilation of summit tunnel; fuel-consumption ; wages of locomotive-men ; locomotive repairs, renewals, and supplies; car repairs and renewals ; wages of trainmen ; general expense. We will take these up in their order. Maintenance of Way. In Table XIII. will be found the working-expenses of the New Zealand Eailways, classified and distributed in items corresponding to those of the American Interstate Commerce Commission. This table is an aid in computing the effect of rise and fall and of curvature upon various items of maintenance of way, some of which are much more affected thereby than others, while some are not affected at all. The same table shows the per cent, of increase of each item of maintenancecost affected, and the per cent, of increase due to 528 degrees of curvature and a rise and fall of 264 ft. The per cent, affected is taken from " Eailroad Construction, Theory and Practice "by Professor Walter Loring Webb, of the University of Pennsylvania, a revision of Wellington's work on this subject in the light of the large amount of valuable data collected and published by the American Interstate Commerce Commission. The approximate rise and fall and curvature per mile of the New Zealand Eailways, for the year 1901, are known, or have been computed, also the average cost of maintenance of way per train-mile. With these data and the values deduced in Table XIII., the cost of maintenance of way per train-mile for each of the alternate Arthur's Pass lines has been computed by proportion, the results being shown in Table XIV. In Table XIV. has also been introduced the effect of the assistant locomotives on the cost of maintenance of way. The assistant locomotive, according to Webb (page 488), affects repairs to roadway 12-| per cent., and renewals of rails and ties each 50 per cent, per locomotive-mile. This affects the total maintenance of way (656 per cent, of the total operating-cost per mile), 1815 per cent, per locomotive-mile. The helper locomotive runs from Otira to the summit only and return. Therefore, the increased cost of maintenance of way per train-mile over the entire distance between Otira and Bealey will be twice the distance from Otira to summit, multiplied by 18' 15, divided by the distance from Otira to Bealey. The resulting percentage for each line is given in column headed, " Percentage Increase due to Assistant Locomotives " (Table XIV). With the costs of maintenance of way per train-mile from the last column of Table XIV., and the number of train-miles per annum outside of tunnel, the total annual costs in pounds sterling corresponding thereto are found for each of the routes as given in Table XV. The total annual costs in pounds sterling of maintenance of way in tunnel is found as shown by Table XVI. Adding the costs outside to those inside of summit tunnel, we have the total annual cost of maintenance of way in pounds sterling, given in Table XVII., for each line. Ventilation of Summit Tunnel. It is assumed that the summit tunnel of either of the routes would require artificial ventilation on account of its length. With the length of summit tunnel from Table I. and the area of cross-section designed for the Arthur's Pass tunnel of 200 square feet, the formulae for the Saccardo system of ventilation given in my second supplementary report, which system is in successful use in Saint Gothard tunnel and in several others, including the precedents noted in said report, will give the essential elements as shown in Table XXIV. From the last column of Table XXIV. it appears that the tunnel of each route would require practically the same mechanical plant and power to give the required velocity and air-current, provided the ratio of the area of nozzle to the area of tunnel cross-section is properly proportioned. The size of blowers and the horse-power of engine and boiler would be the same as used in my second supplementary report—namely, 200-horse power. The cost of operating such a plant can be safely taken at one-half that for a Class B locomotive for the train-mileage made in the tunnel, except that the wages and general expense would be wholly the same as for a Class B locomotive. The cost of installing the ventilation plant in the case of either of the projected summit tunnels would be fully covered by the provision made in each case by your engineers, as given m the details which have been sent to me. Fue l-consump tion. Authorities do not agree closely on fuel-consumption. Ideas vary according to experience and research. The quality of coal has important bearing, a larger consumption of some coals being required than of others. In the computations of my former reports, 5 lb. of coal was assumed per effective horse-power-hour. This is a figure which is as near correct as can be ascertained for average American practice, but on heavy grades, where a locomotive is working most of the time, with nearly full stroke cut off, it is too low. This is a matter which I have investigated at much length, and am now satisfied that, for conditions such as will be found between Otira and the summit, 6 lb. of coal per effective horse-power-hour should be assumed for these computations. This figure I have recently
62
D.—l.
used in connection with an important line in Colorado, and am now using in a report on the merits of certain routes across the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in California and Nevada, for a transcontinental line. We can now compute the fuel-consumption required by each route, directly from the total resistance pertaining thereto, thus eliminating many details which entered into the computations of my previous reports, as follows : — Multiplying the total resistance in pounds by the distance in feet through which it operates, will give the foot-pounds of effective work done in moving the train. For each hour, this would be the resistance in pounds multiplied by 5,280 and by the speed in miles per hour. Dividing the latter product by 33,000 (foot-pounds) and by 60 (minutes) gives the effective horse-power expended. This quotient multiplied by the running-time in hours and by 6 lb. of coal per effective horse-power hour gives the total coal consumed in pounds. Expressing this in an equation, we have— —^—I^7^—tL—-— = coa l consumed in pounds, where E is the total resistance in pounds. ooLHXJ X oO The speed S is equal to the distance in miles M divided by the running-time H in hours : S = =sr. Substituting this value of Sin the above equation the term H cancels out and we have— B x 5280 x M x 6 3300Q xgo = c °al consumed m pounds. Dividing by 2,240 to reduce the results to tons and multiplying by the cost of coal (in this case £065) will give the cost of coal in pounds sterling : — BX M X 6380 x 6;>.'65 BM = cogt f f j . & t j. 33000 x 60 x 2240 2153846 F s Then, dividing the total resistance in mile-pounds of Tables 11. to IX. inclusive by 215,384-6 gives the cost of fuel for a round-trip train in pounds sterling. Table X. gives the number of train and locomotive miles in summit tunnel and outside of summit tunnel and the total between Otira and Bealey for one round-trip train, and Table XI. shows the average daily mileage of assistant locomotives for each line with 500, 700, 1,000, 340, 477, and 681 trains per annum in each direction, the train-mileage being assumed as equally distributed over 312 working-days. The costs of fuel per round-trip trains, as given in Tables 11. to IX. inclusive, are then multiplied by the total number of round-trip trains per annum, giving the total annual cost of fuel for locomotives of each route and number of trains per annum. These results are shown in Table XII. Wages of Locomotive-men. These are based upon the rates established in New Zealand as measured by the locomotivemile (see New Zealand Eailways Eeport for 1901), the cost per locomotive-mile being 4'18d., assumed to be the same for any locomotive on either route. Locomotive Repairs, Renewals, and Supplies. Taking the costs per locomotive-mile of locomotive repairs, renewals, and supplies for Class B locomotives from the New Zealand Eailways Eeport of 1901, page 62, which are the average of 125,524 engine-miles, we have the distribution shown in the first column of Table XX. The rates per locomotive-mile for an 85-ton locomotive would be greater. According to Wellington and Webb, the items should increase about one-half as fast as the increase in weight, that is, if the total weight of the locomotive is doubled, the cost of renewals and repairs and supplies would increase about 50 per cent. Therefore, if E is the cost of one of these items for class B locomotive, the cost for an 85-ton locomotive will be— R1 = R ( 1 + = R xl= Lls4R - Table XVIII. shows the effect of rise and fall and curvature on the cost of repairs and renewals and supplies per locomotive-mile, obtained in the same manner and with the same reasoning as was used in finding the effect of these physical characteristics on costs of maintenance of way and equipment. These rates per locomotive-mile from Table XVIII. are shown in Table XX. for Class B locomotive, and for the 85-ton locomotive the rates for the Class B locomotive are multiplied by 1.154 (see above equation), giving the results shown in Table XX. With the number of locomotive-miles per round-trip train from Table X., and the rates from Table XX., we obtain the costs for one round-trip train as shown in Table XXI. Multiplying the costs per round-trip train by the number of trains per annum gives the total annual charge for locomotive repairs, renewals, and supplies, see Table XXI. Following the same method as used in my first and second supplementary reports, a day's work for an assistant locomotive is assumed to be eighty miles, and the difference between eighty miles and the actual average daily mileage is called the potential mileage, and is an item of the total cost of motive power. The cost for this potential mileage will be taken as before at the total cost of wages per locomotive-mile plus 10 per cent, of the cost of all the other items. For the Class B locomotive this amounts to 5'15d., and for the 85-tou locomotive s'3od. Multiplying these rates by 80 miles, less the actual mileage of assistant locomotives per day for each line and number of
63
L\—l.
trains per annum, from Table XL, and by 312 full working days in a year, gives the annual cost of assistant locomotives standing still in pounds sterling. These results are shown in Table XXII. Adding together the annual cost of fuel from Table XII., of wages, renewals, and repairs, and supplies from Table XXI., and the cost of assistant locomotives standing still from Table XXII., gives the total annual cost of motive power in pounds sterling of Table XXIII. Wages of Trainmen; General Expense. Each of these items would be nearly the same for either of the alternative routes, and can be safely omitted from the comparison, although the item of train-wages, on the basis of a train-mile distribution, would affect the B lines somewhat adversely, because of their greater length, as compared with the A lines. Car Repairs and Renewals. This has been obtained from the returns of the New Zealand railways, with a percentage of increase due to rise and fall and curvature, in the same manner as in my first supplementary report, correction being made to agree with recent data, now at hand. With the rate per trainmile from the last column of Table XVIII., and the total number of train-miles per annum, for each case, the total yearly cost of renewals and repairs of cars is found as given in Table XIX. If the trains brought up to Bealey are rated for and hauled by an 85-ton locomotive, 340, 477, and 681 trains per annum would handle the same business as 500, 700, and 1,000 trains per annum with Class B locomotive. The total number of car-miles and of ton-miles would therefore remain the same, while the train and locomotive miles per annum would be less, and the weight of the trains and locomotives would be proportionally greater. It is therefore assumed that the main-tenance-costs would be essentially the same for the same volume of traffic with either locomotive. There are no data at hand from which the exact effect on maintenance-charges of handling the same tonnage in heavier and fewer trains can be determined, but it is evident that there are factors which would balance each other —that is, some items would be larger for the heavier trains and others would be larger for the lighter trains. The net result cannot vary enough to materially affect this comparison. Comparison of Working-costs. Adding together the annual cost of motive power from Table XXIII., the cost of maintenance of way from Table XVII., the cost of renewals and repairs of cars from Table XIX., and the cost of tunnel-ventilation from Table XXV., we have the total of all the variable elements in the cost of working these alternate lines as shown in Table XXVI. It will be seen from this table that the cost of working the several lines considered does not differ greatly. The extreme difference between Line 83, the highest, and Line A 4, the lowest, is only £14865 sterling per annum for 500 trains each way per year. For 1,000 trains each way per year the difference is £2986 sterling. Adding interest at 3J per cent, per annum on the cost of construction given in Table 1., we have the sum of all the variable elements in the total annual charges in pounds sterling. These results are shown in Table XXVII. They distinctly indicate that Line A 4 is the best. Line B 1, which is the one mentioned in my first report as likely to be the best of those considered therein, follows line A 4, ranking as a close second in the order of merit. If the railway was to be built purely as a commercial enterprise it would doubtless pay to give more favourable consideration to line B 1, because, on account of its shorter summit tunnel, the railway could be completed and begin to earn money at an earlier date than in the case of either of the other routes. But it would not be good policy, nor pay the Government in the long-run, to build any but the best line, especially as such line is estimated to cost the least. Line A4is an ideal route, considering all the points of the physical situation. It keeps clear of the hill-sides and of all possibility of interruption by slides, or danger from falling rocks, is short, and is almost, although not wholly, free from curvature. In fact, a better route is not feasible, and I am glad to recommend it to you. No attempt is made herein to estimate the extra cost of maintenance of way of either route, due to slides or wash from slopes, &c, this item being a matter of pure conjecture. It is not at all improbable, however, that this would, during some years, so increase the aggregate working-cost of line B 1 that it would exceed that of line A 4 in the sum of £1,000 to £1,200 sterling, as estimated by the superintending engineer. I take pleasure in saying that the Government engineers have shown ability in their work in these premises, and in developing the data sent me. Temporary Line. In my reports I have mentioned the Shay locomotive as a practicable machine for the operation of steep gradients. It is slow in speed, but very positive and safe in its action. It can, however, easily make eight miles per hour, and does do so every day in the year on the Mount Tamalpais Scenic Eailway in California. The following data relating to this railway will be of interest to you. The Railway. The railway is of standard gauge, and was built in 1896 under the engineering direction of Mr, George M. Dodge, of San Eafael, California. The line is a trifle less than eight miles and a quarter in length, with a total curvature of about 15,000 degrees, and a total ascent of about 2,500 ft.
64
D.—l.
The track is laid with 56 lb, steel rails for seven miles of the distance, on the remainder 35 lb. rails being in use, the intention of the company being to replace these soon with the heavier variety. A level form of ballast is in use, exposing the entire upper surface of the ties, but extending beyond the ends. Water lubrication is practised on the sharpest curves, oil having proved dangerous, causing derailment. Creeping of the rails has been successfully arrested by spiking 10 ft. sections of 2 in. iron pipe on four ties, with one end of the pipe braced against an angle bar: four thousand of these pipes are in use. The maximum speed of trains is eight miles per hour. Safety of operation is helped by the numerous curves, which serve as a check to trains in making the descent. Equipment. The principal equipment of the road consists of four Shay locomotives and eight cars. The locomotives were built by the Shay Locomotive-works of Lima, Ohio. They are 30 tons net weight, and easily haul three loaded cars, the cars having a capacity of eighty passengers each. The steam is applied through three vertical cylinders to a shaft having universal joints which has bevel-gearing connections with the wheels, allowing the locomotive to make the sharpest curves of 70 ft. radius. Crude oil is used for fuel. It is obtained from Bakersfield, Cal., the cost being 80 cents per barrel in the locomotive, this against coal at $9 per ton, four barrels of oil being about equal to a ton of coal. The chief profit of the road lies in this fuel-saving. A round trip requires about 120 gallons of oil with one car, and 150 gallons with three cars. The cars were built by W. L. Holman and Co., 210-212 Fremont Street, San Francisco. They are of seven short tons weight, with seats extending the entire width, and have canopy tops, with curtains for bad weather. From five to ten round-trip trains are run over the Mount Tamalpais Scenic Eailroad every day. They carry a large number of passengers with safety and success. There is no difficulty in keeping the train under full control, accidents being unheard-of. Application to Arthur's Pass. It is my opinion that a survey at Arthur's Pass would prove that a temporary line like that at Mount Tamalpais would be feasible at reasonable cost. A free use of curvature should be made in order to avoid tunnels or other expensive features of construction and to avoid moving ground so far as practicable. It would also, perhaps, be advisable to use one or two short switchbacks to keep the line as near the stream as may be considered desirable, in order to take advantage of easier slopes than those presented at greater heights, and to cheapen the cost. Such a line would be very useful during construction of the summit tunnel. It could be connected with the permanent line at either end and cars could be run through, establishing a regular traffic. If built, it might be found desirable to retain it as a permanent feature of the railway to enable passengers and tourists to view the beautiful scenery of Otira Gorge and Arthur's Pass. I strongly recommend that the survey mentioned be made. I have, &c, The Hon. William Hall-Jones, Minister for Public Works, V. G. Bogue Wellington, New Zealand.

Wellington, 28th September, 1903. Memorandum for the Hon. the Minister for Public Works. Herewith are Mr. Dobson's plans, descriptions of lines, and estimates of the various routes, so far as they have been compiled or surveyed, for the proposed railway-line over Arthur's Pass, for transmission tq Mr. V. G. Bogue. Line A is the six-mile tunnel line. Line A 1 is a modification of the A line on a steeper grade. It runs up the gorge for about three quarters of a mile above the road. I think the estimate for this line is too low ; also it runs for too great a distance on steep hillsides to be worth considering. Line A 2 runs up the gorge below the road. This line, I think, could be improved, and the cost, perhaps, slightly lowered. The fan of Westley's Creek prevents the best line being got. There are several possible variations of this route, but as even then it would not be so good as the A 4 line, these have not been worked out. This line crosses the Otira above Barrack Creek, to give a road and railway bridge. Line A 3 is a part of the A 2 line, with a tunnel on l-in-33 grade starting at the same point at the Otira end as the six-mile tunnel. Line A 4 is likely to be the cheapest of any of the lines so far proposed (except the Abt. line). It is quite clear of the hillsides, which is a great consideration in a country where rocks are constantly rolling down the hillsides in frosty weather. There is one cutting below the Eolleston, through an old moraine, flat on top. This can be made quite safe. The large banks on the left bank of the Eolleston and Otira would be made from tunnel-spoil. The grade is 1 in 30, and there is one 7J-chain curve shown on the plans, but this would be altered to 15 chains if the line were adopted. This line is shorter than B 1 line by 1 mile 27-J- chains. The summitheight is 93 ft. lower, the curves are of less radius, and the total curvature is much less ; and Ido not think it would cost so much. The working-expenses would be much less; when extra patrolling and extra maintenance are allowed for, I should say £1,200 to £1,500 a year less than on the B 1 line. Mr. Bogue's B line had to be abandoned, as there was not cover enough for the tunnel in the Otira Eiver bed just above the Otira entrance. Three variations of the B line have been worked out. Of these B1 is the cheapest. According to the quantities and prices taken, its estimated cost stands at £512,000, but in view of the cost of the line at the Springfield end as compared with the Middle Island estimates, on which these are based, I put it at £528,000 at least. Line B 2 was taken across the Eolleston three times to ascertain the cost of avoiding in this way the running ground opposite Dyer's. Its probable cost puts it out of consideration as compared with the Aor A 4 line, and the same may be said of the B 3 line. i The steeper lines suggested by Mr. Bogue were not surveyed, as time was limited, and it is not likely that the Government would adopt the Shay locomotive to work any of these lines, in view of the discontent continually expressed by the public about the Fell line over the Eimutaka. With any of the B lines there is also the contingency that if any accident happened, or the public become alarmed by rocks rolling on the line, as they certainly would, a demand would be made for tunnels at the dangerous places. If what happened at Purakanui Cliffs and in the Manawatu Gorge recurred at Otira, supposing B 1 line were made, probably £70,000 or £80,000 would be required for short tunnels. On the steep grades these would be objectionable. The choice will, I think, finally be between the A and A 4 line. P. S. Hay, Superintending Engineer.

This line follows the left bank of the Otira Eiver until it passes the junction with the Eolleston, and crossing the latter not far above the wire footbridge runs up the centre of the river-bed to the rocky point at the end of the spur between the Otira and the Eolleston. Prom this point it follows the right-hand bank of the Eolleston to a point above Eose Creek, where it crosses the river, coming out on the left bank just above the junction of Holt's Creek. It recrosses the Eolleston about 10 chains further up, and then continues along the hillside on the right bank of the river and through the dividing spur in a tunnel, and then follows up the steep hillside on the left bank of the Otira until it reaches a point just below Cape Horn, where it crosses with a high bridge and keeps the right bank up to Starvation Point, where it again, crosses just above Park's Creek and enters summit tunnel, and comes out on the left side of the Bealey Eiver about 14 chains below the road-bridge. It crosses the Bealey there and follows right side down to a crossing just above Eough Creek, and from there follows the left bank to the common point, the last half-mile being common in grade and alignment with line A 1.

Line B 2. This is common to line A 1 from Otira Station to Hot Spring Point, where it crosses the Otira with a high bridge, and turning to the left goes through the dividing spur and joins line B 3 about three miles and three-quarters from Otira Station, and forms a loop.

This line is common to line B 3 for about 60 eh. from Otira Station, and thence turns to the right and goes along the right bank of the Eolleston with a grade of 1 in 30 up to Holt's Creek, and, crossing this, rejoins 83, making a saving in distance of about 15 eh. This line runs for about 60 eh. along the slope of the loose shingle mountain-side opposite Dyer's, but can be located so as to be almost entirely in embankment, to avoid cutting into the loose shingle slides.

This line is common to B 3 for about one mile from Otira Station, and then turns to the left and crosses the Otira Eiver near the present footbridge, and continues across Dyer's Plat to the hillside, and follows the right bank of the Otira Eiver up to a point between Westley's Creek and the lower road-bridge, where summit tunnel begins. This line is on about the road-level for a mile, and as there is but little room for both road and railway, it might be found advisable to take the road on the opposite bank and remove the bridge down to a point a quarter of a mile above the mouth of the gorge. The end of the summit tunnel on the Bealey side is about the same place as the end of the tunnel on line A 1, and the two lines are practically common on the Bealey side of the range.

Line A 3. This line is common to line A 2 from Otira Station to the mouth of the gorge, and the summit tunnel commences at the same place as on line A, and the Bealey end of the tunnel is three or four chains further down the Bealey than the tunnel-end on line A 1, with which line it is common on the Bealey side of the range.

This line is common to A 2 from Otira Station to about 74 eh., and from there it continues up the bed of the Eolleston Eiver, keeping a sufficient distance from the foot of the shingle slides to be out of reach of slips and bounding rocks. It crosses the Eolleston on the right bank just below junction with Eose Creek, and enters summit tunnel there. The tunnel-mouth on the Bealey side is in about the same locality as that of line A 1, and the two lines are practically common on the Bealey side of range.

Sir, — Midland Railway : Arthur's Pass Section. I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 31st October last, asking to be supplied with the details used in making up the estimates of cost of the various suggested routes for the above section of railway, and in reply have pleasure in enclosing you the information asked for. The estimates for tunnelling are founded on rates at Springfield end, plus extras for length of tunnel. The costs for grading are somewhat lower than in the Middle Island estimates for Midland Eailway, which in their turn appear to be too low for the actual cost of works as now finished. This adversely affects the comparison between the B lines and the A and A 4 lines, as the B lines would have a greater first cost than shown on these sheets. I have, &c, H. J. H. Blow, Under-Secretary, Virgil G. Bogue, Esq., C.E., No. 15, William Street, New York, U.S.A.
