1904. NEW ZEALAND.

RAILWAYS STATEMENT (20th July, 1904.) BY THE MINISTER FOR RAILWAYS, THE HON. SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G.

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting this, my fifth Eailway Statement, 1 have great pleasure in announcing that the result of the year's operations has been highly satisfactory, the revenue being the highest yet attained by the railways of the colony. It exceeds the estimate by £180,641, and last year's net earnings by £111,294. The results of working may be summarised thus:— Year 1904. Year 1903. £ £ Total earnings ... ... ... ... 2,180,641 1,974,038 Total expenditure ...' ... ... .. 1,438,724 1,343,415 Net profit on working ... ... ... £741,917 £630,623 Net increase over previous year, £111,294. GENERAL. The mileage of line open for traffic at the end of the year under review was 2,328, against 2,291 for the previous year. The average miles operated during the year were 2,305. The following extensions were opened : — M. eh. Tahekeroa-Ahuroa ... ... ... ... ... 4 68 Orepuki-Waihoaka ... ... ... ... ... 4 44 Poro-o-tarao-Taumarunui ... ... ... ... 28 24 37 56 The capital cost of lines open for traffic (including the plant and steamers on Lake Wakatipu) has increased from £19,081,735 to £20,692,911 for the year under review. The net revenue, £741,917, is equal to a return of 3 - 58 per cent, on the capital invested in the open lines, and 3 - 35 per cent, for the total capital (£22,173,220) invested in opened and unopened lines. The cost of working the Kawakawa Section exceeded the gross earnings by no less than £311; but the Nelson Section, which last year showed a deficiency of £533, has this year given a net return of £2,749, equal to 1-03 per cent, on the capital cost of opened lines in the Nelson District. The number of train miles run during the year was 5,685,399, being an increase of 242,066 miles. The increased train mileage represents additional facilities provided to meet the demands of the steadily increasing business, and has cost £61,000. These figures include the permanent additions made to the time-tables, which amounted to 157,474 miles, representing a cost of £39,683. The principal additions in the passenger and mixed trains were as follows : — Auckland, Section. —Daily service to and from Taumarunui. Wellington-Napier District. —Additional suburban trains on week-days and on Sundays. Wanganui District. —Additional passenger services between Palmerston North and New Plymouth. Christchurch District. —Improved passenger service between Christchurch and Culverden, by which the journey-time between Christchurch and Hanmer Springs has been shortened by sixty-five minutes.

Excellent time has been kept by the principal trains during the year the record of late arrivals being as follows :— Average late arrival. tj , ~ . Mina. Mins. For long-distance passenger trains 080, against 1-18 last year. ior suburban trams ... ... ... ... 0-32 057 For long-distance mixed trains ... ... ... 1-05' 1/25 The punctuality maintained compares more than favourably with any railway service m the world, and is eminently satisfactory in view of the fact that the figures include all delays arising from floods, slips, and all other causes. f ryontnJ° tal nu I mber of ordinary passengers carried was 8,306,383, an increase of 730,993 over the previous year. Season tickets issued numbered 129,919 an increase of 11,488. The number of "workers' twelve-trip tickets" issued was 33,809, and of " workers' weekly tickets " available on suburban lines, 68 248 The sum of these two issues, 102,057, is equal to nearly 71 per cent, of the whole season-ticket business, but the revenue derivable from the two classes of workers' tickets is only 22 per cent, of the total season-ticket revenue. Holiday excursion tickets issued numbered 695,384, an increase of 93 370 over the previous year. School, factory, and friendly societies' excursion tickets numbered 111,683, an increase of 22,540 over last year. The number of school factory, and friendly societies' excursions run in the principal districts was • Auckland, 18; Wanganui, 53; Wellington-Napier, 37; Christchurch, 115Dunedin, 101; Invercargill, 34. The coaching and goods traffic has maintained that buoyancy which has been so remarkable during the past nine years, there being large increases under each of the various headings under which this traffic is grouped, sheep and wool alone excepted. These two latter show decreases. The increases under the head of « Coaching Traffic " have been: Parcels, 67,038; horses, 1,892 ; dogs, o'Sf- , An , d ™*er " Live-stook and Goods Traffic " : Cattle, 4,974 head; pigs, n'onL ' Chaff ' lime ' &c -' n ' 47o tons ; fi rewood, 5,568 tons; timber ■;Kti 0n8; ,f raU V 102 > 077 tons ; merchandise, 24,459 tons; minerals, 139,897 tons. Grand total, 340,956 tons. The decrease in sheep traffic was not unexpected in view of the abnormal increase (1,096,473 head) in the number carried in 1903 as compared with the previous year 1902. The severity of the weather in Canterbury and Otago during the last winter also caused heavy mortality among the flocks in those provinces and otherwise seriously retarded the movements of the stock; but, notwithstanding the fact that the sheep traffic last year showed a falling-off of 64,955 head as compared with the previous year, the business cannot but be regarded as satisfactory, taking normal conditions as a basis. In 1902 the number of sheep carried was 2,724,860, and in 1904 3,756,378, an increase of 1,031,518 head in two years, or at the rate of 515,759 per annum, which is over 100,000 higher than the increase recorded m any previous year where normal conditions have prevailed. The decrease m wool amounted to 14,994 tons. The Kail way Workshops have been busily employed in building additional rolling-stock for use on the various sections. During the year the rolling-stock has been increased by 5 locomotives, 58 carriages, 18 brake-vans, 423 wagons and 680 tarpaulins ; and there were under construction at the close of the year 11 locomotives (exclusive of ten which are being built under contract by Messrs Price, of Thames), 63 47£ ft. bogie cars, 15 bogie brake-vans, 158 bogie and 338 four-wheeled wagons, 225 tarpaulins, and two 5-ton steam travelling cranes. Ihe additions and improvements to rolling-stock made during the year have increased the tractive power by 2-08 per cent., passenger seating-accommodation by IU-45 per cent., and wagon carrying-capacity by 4 per cent. On the 31st March, 1900, when I had the honour of delivering my first Kailway Statement, the rolling-stock consisted of 304 locomotives, with a tractive power of 2,407,2791b.; 577 passenger cars, giving seating-accommo-dation tor 22,090 passengers; 220 brake-vans, 9,527 four-wheeled and 548 bogie trucks with a carrying-capacity of 63,778 tons. On the 31st March, 1904; it consisted of 377 locomotives, with a tractive power of 3,572 346 lb • 809 passenger carriages, providing seating-accommodation for .31,858 passengers; 301 brake-vans, 12,372 four-wheeled and 760 bogie trucks, with a carrvingcapacity of 92,533 tons. The additions to the stock during the past four years have therefore been 73 locomotives, tractive power 1,165,0671b.; 232 passenger

D.~2.

cars, with seating-accommodation for 9,768 passengers; 81 brake-vans, 2,845 four-wheeled and 212 bogie trucks, with a carrying-capacity of 28,755 tons. The number of tarpaulins has been increased by 2,542. 248 locomotives, 543 carriages, 161 brake-vans, 5,390 wagons, and 6 travelling cranes have been fitted with the Westinghouse brake, 709 vehicles with Pintsch gas, 395 second-class cars with cushions, and 269 with lavatories. The average number of men employed was 8,782, against 8,875 for the previous year. The difference in the number of hands employed is due to the completion of non-recurring work for other Departments in hand at the end of last year, which gave employment to a considerable number of casual hands taken on for specific jobs. Railway hands proper have increased by 307, made up as follows: Traffic, 183; Maintenance, 74; Locomotive, 50. These figures represent men taken on owing to increased business and opening of additional lines. During the year 197 members of the permanent staff resigned, 194 retired on superannuation, 47 died, 28 were retired, 40 were dismissed, and 550 engaged. Ten appeals against decisions of the Department were heard by the Eailway Appeal Boards, two of which were allowed and eight dismissed. Thirty-one members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division during the year. The sum of £2,363 has been paid as compensation and compassionate allowances to members retired from the Service and the relatives of members deceased, of which sum £1,198 was paid under " The Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act, 1900." The Lake Wakatipu Steamship Service, which was acquired by the Government in November, 1902, has been worked in conjunction with the railway system. An all-round reduction of 25 per cent, has been made in the rates charged by the company. The service has been conducted with punctuality, and the greater facilities of cheaper rates are much appreciated by the public. I would like, however, to state that the controllers of hotels and boardinghouses in the Lakes District should do all in their power to help the Eailway Department to increase the numbers visiting that beautiful and attractive country, and the adhering to a reasonable tariff will greatly conduce to this. Several minor improvements have been made in the boats, and I am pleased to be able to record the fact that the year's transactions, which are more fully dealt with under the head of " Revenue," have been satisfactory. Fifty-eight miles of main line were relaid with 70 lb. rails, and sixteen miles and a half of branch line with the 521b., 531b., and 561b. rails taken up out of main line. New stations were opened at Dannevirke, Kaiapoi, and Fairfax during the year. These afford the necessary facilities for carrying: on the business of the Department and meeting the convenience of the public. The new Railway Offices, situated in Featherston Street, Wellington, were opened by His Excellency the Earl of Ranfurly in November last. The structure, which is a handsome one, is furnished with all the conveniences for the proper conduct of the business of this important State Department. Particular attention has been given to hygienic requirements and fire protection. By the removal of the railway staff to the new Railway Offices a considerable portion of the Government Buildings was released, and became available for occupation by other Departments, whose staff had previously been located in rented offices in the city. REVENUE. The revenue for the year amounted to £2,180,641, and exceeded the estimate by £180,641 and the gross revenue for the preceding year by £206,603. The net revenue, £741,917, was £111,294 in excess of that for the preceding year. These figures include the receipts from the Lake Wakatipu steamship service for a full year, whereas the receipts of the previous year included five months' business on the lake only. The difference in the gross earnings for the two periods specified is, however, comparatively small, amounting to £2,595 only, and does not affect the result of the year's working to any appreciable extent. Passenger revenue shows an increase of £75,551 ; season tickets, £3,411 ; coaching traffic, £22,879; goods and live-stock, £104,068; miscellaneous, £3,113; while rents have decreased by £2,419. The receipts per train mile amounted to 91-75 d., against 87"00 d. for the previous year.

The earnings of the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £6,996 lis. 4d., as against £4,401 Bs. Bd. for five months (November to the 31st March) of the previous year, and was equal to a return of £6 - 07 per cent, on the capital cost, £15,612. In view of the fact that the rates on the lake have been largely reduced, and that very little business is done during the winter months, it will, I think, be conceded that the result achieved is eminently satisfactory. EXPENDITUEE. The total expenditure amounted to £1,438,724, including £6,048 incurred in connection with the working of the Lake Wakatipu steamers, being an increase of £95,309 over the previous year. The expenditure for railway working proper on revenue was 65"91 per cent., and the total expenditure, including the Lake steamers, 65 - 98 per cent of revenue, a decrease of 2-07 per cent, as compared with the previous year. The working expenses of the Lake Wakatipu steamers absorbed £6,048, or 86*45 per cent, of the earnings. The amounts chargeable to working expenses on account of the various branches of the service and the ratio of expenses to revenue are shown by the following figures : — Expenditure. Per Cent, of Revenue. 1903-1904. 1902-1903. 1903-1904. 1902-1903. Traffic 374,347 360,061 17-22 1824 Locomotive ... ... 526,156 -484,551 24-20 24-55 Maintenance ... ... 490,819 460,398 22-58 23-32 Management ... ... 68,223 62,997 3-14 3-19 1,459,545 1,368,007 67-14 69-30 Less Credit Eecoveries ... 26,869 24,592 1-23 1-25 1,432,676 ... 65-91 Lake Wakatipu steamers ... 6,048 ... 007 £1,438,724 £1,343,415 65-98 68-05 The expenditure for maintenance of line, buildings, and other structures has increased from £460,398 to £490,819, representing an average expenditure for maintenance of £213 per mile of railway open, against £204 for last year. The increased expenditure has been incurred on the Auckland Section, £7,031 ; Gisborne, £707; Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth, £4,773; Hurunui-Bluff, £21,236; Westland, £2,280. The cost of maintenance has decreased on the Kawakawa Section, £290 ; Whangarei, £376; Kaihu, £295 ; Westport, £3,000 ; Nelson, £1,027 ; and Picton, £619. Additions and improvements to lines and structures, costing £13,566, which might fairly have been debited to capital, have been made during the year and charged to working expenses. The expenditure on account of bridge renewals and repairs amounted to £59,186, of which £5,269 was debited to capital, and the balance, £53,917, to working expenses. The increased expenditure in the Traffic Branch is due to increased train mileage, additional staff to meet the requirements of the rapidly expanding business, and to increases of pay under the Classification. In the Locomotive Branch the increase is due to extra train mileage, heavy renewals and repairs, and increased consumption of coal consequent on the additional train mileage, and also to increases in wages. The increase in cost of management is mainly incidental to the removal of the Head and Departmental Offices, additional staff necessitated by the expansion of the business, and to provide for the requirements of the new offices, and increase in salaries of staff under the Classification Act. The sum of £347,987 has been expended under the head of " Additions to Open Lines," and charged to Capital Account. Of this amount the sum of £117,224 has been expended on buildings, water services, sidings, signals and interlocking, safety appliances, respacing sleepers, telegraph and telephone facilities, bridges, creosote plant, fencing, wharves, crossings, workshops and departmental offices; £215,902 on rolling-stock, tarpaulins, cranes, lavatory accommodation in cars, Westinghouse brake, lighting workshops by electricity, and machinery for workshops. The rolling-stock in respect of which the charges are made consists of 5 locomotives, 58 carriages, 18 brake-vans, 74 bogie wagons,

296 four-wheeled wagons, and 680 tarpaulins, all completed on 31st March last; and 19 locomotives, 65 carriages, 12 brake-vans, 153 bogie and 329 four-wheeled wagons, 225 tarpaulins and 2 cranes incomplete, but in hand on that date. £14,862 represents the balance of purchase-money of the steamers and other plant of the Lake Wakatipu Steamship Company.

CONCLUDING REMARKS AND FORECAST. For the purpose of ascertaining the results of working the capital cost of the lines open for traffic has been taken at £20,692,911. This amount includes the sum of £765,762, representing the cost of the lines formerly owned by the Midland Railway Company, and now incorporated with the Government railway system, also the sum of £15,612, cost of purchase of the Lake Wakatipu plant. The net earnings for the year (£741,917) gives a return of 358 per cent, on the capital cost stated above. In last year's Statement the capital cost of the Midland lines was given as £576,413, the amount they were understood to have cost the colony; but it has since been decided to alter the principle under which the value was assessed, and to put the matter on a definite and proper footing. With this end in view a revaluation has been made, taking as a basis the valuation fixed by the Royal Commissioners, plus capital expenditure incurred on the opened lines during the time they have been in the hands of the Government. The result has been to increase the assessed value to £765,762, which amount is incorporated in the sum of £20,692,911 stated above. The application of the electric-tablet system of train-signalling to our lines is being steadily extended. During the year 74 tablet instruments and 187 miles of line have been fitted up, and tablet working installed between Invercargill and Winton, Makarewa and Riverton, Wingatui and Ida Valley, Addington and Rangiora, Palmerston North and Woodville, Greymouth and Ngahere. Interlocked points and signals have been fitted at Burkes, Kensington, Caversham, Balclutha, Invercargill, Eyreton Junction, Kaitoke, Summit, and Auckland. Further considerable extensions of both the tablet and interlocking are in hand, and will be pushed on as rapidly as possible. Good progress has been made with the preliminary work in connection with the new station at Dunedin. Extensive alterations have been put in hand at Lower Hutt and Petone in connection with the straightening and duplication of the line between Wellington and Lower Hutt. The work will be pushed ahead as vigorously as possible. I propose to ask the House this session for the necessary authority for the duplication of the lines Auckland to Penrose, Christchurch to Rolleston, and Dunedin to Mosgiel. The balance-sheet of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund submitted to the House by the Board of Administration shows that the amount paid by way of superannuation during the year was £6,434 ss. 6d., granted to 184 members, retired voluntarily or by reason of their being medically unfit for further duty; £576 7s. was paid in respect to the widows and families of deceased members, and £244 4s. 3d. as refunds of contributions to the members who have left the Service from various causes before reaching the age at which they could be superannuated. The balance to credit of the fund at 31st March was £40,357 17s. 3d. It is very gratifying to me to be able to state that on the 30th June, 1903, the date on which the optional period for joining the fund expired, only sixty-six eligible members of the whole railway staff of the colony had failed to avail themselves of the right, and are consequently debarred from the benefits of the scheme, which is highly appreciated by the Railway Service. The Fund has proved a great boon to a large number of old and tried servants of the State, who have been able to seek that rest to which their age fairly entitles them, with the full knowledge that they have a certain income for the remainder of their days. With a view to giving greater facilities to long-distance passengers and reducing the time now taken to do the journey from the North to South Island, I have instructed that arrangements be made to put on an additional express train between Christchurch and Invercargill daily. Inquiries are now beingmade with a view to arranging the departure-times from the terminal stations at an hour that will best suit the convenience of the general public. It will be necessary to alter the time of departure of the present expresses so as to fit in with the running of the new service, which will commence on the Ist November. I regret that Mr. W. H. Gaw (Chief Traffic Manager), and Mr. A. C. Fife (Railway Accountant), have found it necessary to tender their resignations and to retire on superannuation owing to ill health. Both gentlemen have been connected with the Department from the very earliest days and served the colony zealously and with great ability and devotion to duty, and I desire to place on record my appreciation of their services.

In December last dining-cars were placed on the Auckland-Rotorua express trains, the catering being undertaken by the Railway Department. The result has been highly satisfactory, the accommodation and catering provided and entirely worked by the Department being much appreciated by the public. I have therefore decided that, on the expiration of the existing lease of the right to cater on the Palmerston North-New Plymouth and Christchurch-Dunedin express trains, the Department shall itself undertake the catering on those and any other lines on which dining-cars are run, and that it shall also run the railway refreshment-rooms, which will not be licensed, and the advertising at railway-stations. On pages ii and iii I have indicated the increase in the rolling-stock from 31st March, 1900, to 31st March, 1904. The table following furnishes an interesting study of the growth of business and increase of rolling-stock from Ist April, 1895, to 31st March, 1904. On the basis of carrying-capacity of trucks in 1895, 13,132 trucks in use on 31st March, 1904, were equivalent to 15,422 six-ton trucks of the class in use in 1895.

After a careful investigation I see no reason why the holders of long-distance single tickets when travelling upon the railways should not be given a reasonable time within which to complete their journeys so that they may, if desired, break it at intermediate stations and afterwards continue on to destination. I do not propose to make any alteration on the suburban lines, but purpose giving the holders of single tickets for stations beyond the suburban area one month within which to complete their journey. The alteration, which means a great reform, will be brought into operation in November next, and the convenience it will afford to the travelling public will be a very great one, and will, I am sure, be generally appreciated. If the shipping companies conducting business between Auckland and Onehunga and between Lyttelton and Wellington will conform to the requirements of the Railway Department, I also hope to have established a system for the through booking of passengers' luggage from, say, any hotel in Auckland to any hotel in any part of the colony to which the passenger may be travelling. I confidently anticipate that the commercial prosperity which has existed of late years will continue during the next financial year, and though I estimate the gross revenue at £2,200,000, I think, to be on the safe side, it is better to keep to the actual amount of last year's receipts, which in round numbers I put at £2,180,000. The usual reports and returns are attached hereto,

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways, Head Office, Sir, — Wellington, June, 1904. I have the honour to report upon the working of the ODen railways for the financial year ended the 31st March, 1904. The capital cost has increased from £19,081,735 to £20,692,911. The revenue was £2.180,641, against £1,974,038, an increase of £206,603. The net revenue has been £741,917, against £630,623, an increase of £111,294. The expenditure has been £1,438,724, against £1,343,415, an increase of £95,309. The expenditure per cent, of revenue was £65-98, as compared with £68-05 last year. The rate of interest earned on capital was £3 lis. Bd., as compared with £3 6s. Id. last year. The revenue per train-mile was 7s. 7fd., and the cost per train-mile ss. OJd., as against 7s. 3d. and 4s. lid. respectively last year. The following extensions have been opened during the year:— M. oh. Tahekeroa-Ahuroa ... ... ... • ... ... ... 4 68 Orepuki-Waihoaka ... ... ... ... ... ... 4 44 Poro-o-tarao-Taumarunui ... ... ... ... ... 28 24 37 56 The total mileage added to the system during the year under review was thus 37 miles 56 chains, making the total mileage open for traffic on the 31st March, 1904, 2,328 miles, as against 2,291 miles at the close of the previous year. During the year 8,306,383 ordinary passengers were carried, yielding a revenue of £652,080. and 129,919 season tickets were issued, yielding a revenue of £52,580, being an increase of 730,993 ordinary passengers and £75,551 revenue, and 11,488 season tickets and £3,411 revenue over the traffic under these heads in the previous year. 57,339 children and teachers and 54,344 adults travelled by school and factory excursions during the year, the revenue derived therefrom being £7,425, an increase of 9,751 children and teachers, 12,789 adults, and £1,374 revenue over the preceding year. 695,384 passengers travelled at holiday-excursion fares, yielding a revenue of £125,624, an increase of 93,370 excursionists and £22,345 revenue as compared with last year. The coaching and goods traffic has been well maintained during the year, a very considerable expansion of business having resulted under all heads, except sheep and wool. Increases. Coaching.— -Parcels, 67,038; horses, 1,892; carriages, 410; dogs, 2,614, Revenue, £22,879. Goods. —Cattle, 4,974 ; pigs, 8,424 ; drays, 419 ; chaff and lime, 11,470 tons ; firewood, 5,568 tons; timber, 73,704 tons; grain, 102,077 tons; merchandise, 24,459 tons ; minerals, 139,897 tons. Revenue, £104,762. Total increase in goods and live-stock tonnage, 340,956 tons. Decreases. Sheep, 64,955 ; and wool, 14,994 tons. The decrease in sheep and wool was not unanticipated, in view of the enormous increase in the previous year's business under these heads, and also of the severity of the last winter, which resulted in heavy mortality among the flocks in the Canterbury and Otago districts. The whole of the engines and rolling-stock in service on the Auckland and Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Sections have been equipped with the Westinghouse brake, and satisfactory progress is being made with the equipment of the South Island stock, of which 93 locomotives, 212 cars, 32 brake-vans, and 1,310 wagons were so fitted on the 31st March, 1904. All new stock built is fuily equipped with the Westinghouse brake in our own shops before being put into service. Six engines, 63 bogie-cars, 18 bogie brake-vans, and 426 wagons were built in the railway workshops and added to the stock during the year, while 11 engines, 63 bogie-cars, 15 bogie brake-vans, and 496 wagons were under construction on the 31st March last. Ten Wp Class tank engines were being built under contract by Messrs. A. and T. Price, at Thames. The new Railway Offices at Wellington were completed and occupied during the year. They are found to be very satisfactory, and provide up-to-date accommodation for the head and departmental offices which was much required, and is greatly appreciated by the staff. Several slips and floods have occurred during the year, but I am pleased to record that there has been no train accident of a serious nature.

Maintenance. Mr. J. Coom, Chief Engineer, reports as follows : — Permanent Way.— The track has been maintained in good condition and there is a general improvement in all the districts. Fifty-eight miles of track were relaid with 70 lb. rails. lam proposing to relay at least one hundred miles for the year 1904-5. As in the previous year, second-hand 521b., 531b., and 56 lb. rails taken up on main lines have been relaid on branch lines, sixteen miles and a half having been done. On most of the main lines of the colony the weight of rails is sufficient for the classes of rolling-stock now running, but this is not the case on several of the branch lines. On some parts of the main lines it will be necessary to relay with heavier rails before larger engines, which are required to provide for the increased traffic, could be used. During the year we have relaid 352,295 sleepers, of which 39,527 were imported hardwood, and the balance, 312,768, native timber. The creosote plants at Woodville and Invercargill have been worked during the greater part of the year. At Woodville 36,436 sleepers were treated, and at Invercargill 45,360, making a total of 81,796. A fair supply of sleepers for treatment has been procured, and stacked for seasoning. The expenditure for sleepers during the past year, exclusive of laying, was £61,056, showing a reduction of £15,832 on the previous year. The efforts which have been made during the past few years to overtake sleeper-renewals have placed us in a fair position, and I anticipate that the expenditure under this head will be reduced in the future. On track-renewals we spent the same as in the previous year. Slips and Floods. —Several slips and floods with consequent delay of traffic occurred during the year, but none of them can be classed as serious except the wash-out at the Huatoki Creek, New Plymouth, the Mungaroa slip on the Wellington line, the erosion of the river-bed and banks at Stewart's Gully, and the damage by floods in the Otago and Invercargill districts during March. There were slips of less importance in the Manawatu Gorge, on the Hutt line near Belmont, and at the Eyre Creek on the Kingston Branch. Traffic was interrupted by snow in parts of the Dunedin district in July. Ballasting. —The Gates stone-crushing plant at Mosgiel still continues to give great satisfaction. Bridges. —Bridges have been maintained in good condition. The Ngaruawahia, on the Auckland Section ; the Aramoho, Wangaehu, and Waiwakaiho, in the Wanganui district; and a number of smaller structures in the several districts have been strengthened to carry heavier engines. The expenditure on repairs and renewals was £59,186, as against £63,728 in the previous year. Signals, Interlocking and Block-working. —The Signal Engineer's report, attached, gives the details of the work which has been carried out. The results of the installation of these safety appliances continue to give great satisfaction, and it is to be hoped funds will be found to carry on this important work. Water-services. —These have been maintained in good order. Considerable alterations and additions have been made to the services throughout the colony. Wharves. —Nothing calling for special mention has been undertaken during the year. The structures have been maintained in good repair. Buildings.—New buildings have been completed at Dannevirke, Kaiapoi, and Fairfax. The Bluff Station is well on towards completion, arid the Dunedin Station, which is a large work, is in hand. The foundations and temporary works are finished, the bulk of the stone quarried, and masons are now employed in building. At several other stations considerable alterations have been made to meet the erowine wants of the Traffic Branch. 8 8 Turakina Station building and Stationmaster's house were burnt down on the 19th March. The Departmental Offices in Wellington are completed, and were occupied by the staff in November. The accommodation provided is in every way satisfactory. Miscellaneous Works.— Additions and improvements have been made during the year amounting to £13,566, which has been charged to working-expenses. The principal works are as follows : Improved coaling accommodation, Frankton ; stock-yards, Hangatiki; siding-extension, Pakipaki; additional siding accommodation, Middlefcon ; water-service, Waihao Forks ; additions to Studholme; office for Car and Wagon Inspector, Dunedin ; removal of central filling, George Street Pier, Port Chalmers; siding alterations, &c, for interlocking, and additions to stock-yards, Balclutha; houses for surfacemen, Aitcheson's and Borton's ; additions to Stationmaster's house, Milton; oil-engine, Mosgiel; replacing 50ft. turntables with 55ft. at Christchurch, Oamaru!

Locomotive. Mr. A. L. Beattie, Chief Mechanical Engineer, reports as follows :— The engines, rolling-stock, machinery, and plant have been maintained in good and efficient working-order. Locomotives. —The number of locomotive engines on Ist April, 1903, was 372, the number on 31st March, 1904, was 377. Six new engines were built during the year, and one old tank engine, Class L, was sold. The new engines built comprised one Class B tender engine for heavy goods traffic, one Class U engine for mixed traffic, and four tank engines—two of Class Fb type, one Class Wa, and one Class L engine. This L engine replaced the old engine sold. The new locomotives, together with boiler renewals, increased the total tractive power by 72,8871b., or equal to 2-08 per cent.; the new engines building, and boilers under construction, when completed, will still further increase the tractive power by 328,3281b., or an additional 9-19 per cent. In the New Zealand Government Railway Workshops up to date 23 tank and 15 tender, making a total of 38 locomotive engines, have been built; also 24 old locomotives have been rebuilt with greatly increased tractive power. Four hundred and seventy locomotives passed through the workshops during the year, details as follows :—

Included in above return are 5 engines repaired for Public Works Department, and 1 engine for Castleeliff Railway Company. The following new locomotive engines are under construction in Government railway workshops, viz. : one Class E compound double-ender tank engine for Rimutaka Incline traffic, and ten Class Wp tank engines : total, eleven. In addition to above, ten Class Wf tank engines are being built under contract by Messrs. A. and G. Price at Thames. A contract was let to this firm during the year, and satisfactory progress has been made with the work to date. Boilers. —Boiler-repairs, renewals, and new boilers are in a satisfactory position and well up to date. Seven new boilers were constructed. The following statement gives an outline of the work done during the year : —

Sixteen new locomotive boilers are in hand, consisting of one Class E, three Class F, one Class J, one Class T, and ten Class Wp boilers.

Stationary Engines and Cranes. —The repairs, &c., to stationary engines and cranes for the year were as follows: —

There were no new cranes built or converted. Two new 5-ton steam travelling-cranes are under construction. During the year 969 car, van, wagon, and crane axles were renewed with modern steel axles; this number is exclusive of the new stock built. Westinghouse Brake. —The North Island contract for the equipment of engines and rollingstock with the automatic air brake was completed on 31st December, 1903. All engines and rolling-stock in service on Auckland and Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Sections have been equipped with the air brake. All new stock built, before being put into service, is equipped by our own staff with the Westinghouse brake. The South Island contract for equipping with the Westinghouse brake all engines and rolling-stock on the Hurunui-Bluff Section was commenced in November, 1903, and satisfactory progress made by the contractors. On 31st March, 1904, there were in the North Island 155 locomotives, 331 cars, 129 brake-vans, 4,080 wagons, and 6 travelling-cranes equipped with the Westinghouse brake. In the South Island 93 locomotives, 212 cars, 32 brake-vans, and 1,310 wagons were also fitted with this brake. Gar-lighting. —The oil and acetylene gas manufactured at the five separate Pintsch gasworks during the year for car-lighting amounted to 2,877,191 cubic feet, costing 2s. 10£ d. per 100 cubic feet. Auxiliary acetylene-gas plants have been erected at Christchurch and Dunedin for the purpose of producing acetylene gas for mixing with and enriching the oil-gas. The brilliancy of the light has been largely enhanced by the admixture of acetylene gas, which, however, has increased the cost of production. _ During the year 73 cars and brake-vans were fitted with Pintsch gas, making a total of 709 vehicles fitted to date. Workshops. —The workshop plant, machinery, and appliances have been augmented by the addition of new buildings, machinery, and a number of special tools and appliances. An additional iron-foundry, also a foundry for the manufacture of steel castings, have been completed and brought into operation with satisfactory results. Pneumatic tools have now been furnished to all the principal workshops, thus enabling work to be more expeditiously and economically undertaken. An extension of the electric-light installation at Addington Workshops has been completed. A hot-water plant for washing out locomotive boilers was installed at Auckland. All the principal locomotive-depots on the existing railway system have now been so equipped. Tram Running and Mileage.— There has been a large increase in train-mileage. As compared with the preceding year the increase for 1903-4 is 242,066 train-miles, equal to 4-45 per cent., and 388,074 engine-miles, equal to 5-09 per cent. The following statement shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile :—

The increased expenditure per train-mile is largely due to exceptionally heavy renewals and repairs, and greater consumption of coal. The usual returns are attached.

Wellington-Napier District contributed £339,881, against £309,919 last year, an increase of £29,962. Passenger traffic shows an increase of 203,158 passengers and 6,925 season tickets.

In goods traffic there are decreases in cattle, sheep, chaff, wool, and minerals. The tonnage of butter and cheese forwarded from the district was—Butter, 8,437 tons ; cheese, 1,873 tons : as against 7,555 tons and 616 tons respectively last year. Auckland Section. The revenue from this section was £273,620, as against £236,342 last year, an increase of £37,278. The passenger revenue shows the substantial increase of £11,127, notwithstanding that there is a large falling-off in the suburban business due to the competition of the electric tramways. The location of the tram-lines through the business and residential streets gives the tramway company such advantages that, with its cheap and frequent service, it can command all the business en route. Regular travellers willingly pay a higher charge to be picked up and set down at the nearest street-corner to their houses or places of business than they would pay between the two railway-stations. It is impossible under present conditions for the railway to give a service which would divert any portion of the business from the tramway. The passenger traffic to Rotorua increased largely during the year, the figures being 16,956 against 10,895, an increase of 6,061 passengers and £2,916 revenue.
