PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT. BY THE HON. W. HALL-JONES, MINISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS, 29th AUGUST, 1905.
Me. Speakek,— It is my pleasing duty to place before honourable members my tenth consecutive Public Works Statement, and to report that good progress has been made with the various works undertaken. The gross expenditure upon the North Island Main Trunk Railway (including the value of permanent-way materials issued to the line) during the year amounted to .£154,436. The sum voted for all classes of roads was £410,975, against which authorities were issued amounting to £469,444. The exceptionally wet weather experienced in the early summer considerably retarded the progress of some of the works, particularly road-construction works, and consequently the expenditure up to the end of the financial year was not so large as I had anticipated. Since the period referred to good progress has been maintained. In view of the New Zealand International Exhibition which is to be held next year, I desire to say, so that the information may be circulated for the benefit of likely visitors during the Exhibition season, that the Government anticipates that either prior to the opening of the Exhibition or during the season it will be practicable to take the through journey from Auckland to Wellington by the route of the North Island Main Trunk Railway, and also to travel by road and rail in one day from Greymouth or Hokitika to Christchurch. The programme at present in course of execution and in contemplation for the North Island Main Trunk line provides for the rails at the north end reaching the Waimarino Plain, and probably up to the site of the Makatote Viaduct, by the date referred to. By the same date the rail-head at the southern end should be at Waiouru. From Waiouru to Raetihi a mail-coach road already exists, and the railway service-road between Raetihi and Makatote will be completed, so that a coach could travel from rail-head to rail-head. As regards the Midland Railway, honourable members are aware that the contract for the Staircase Viaduct and Broken River Bridge is now being carried out. The contract time for completion expires on the 12th of October, but the work is not likely to be finished for some little time. I am, however, urging the contractors to use every expedition in finishing. The instructions issued to the departmental officers are that the rails must be laid across Staircase and up to and across the Broken River Bridge by the commencement of the Exhibition season, and a good service-road is in course of construction from Broken River to the Cass. It will therefore be possible to rail passengers' from Christchurch to the west side of Broken River, leaving a coach journey of only forty miles from there to Otira, which, as already stated, will enable the through journey to be accomplished in one day. In addition to the above, the Otago Central Railway should be completed to Clyde by the date mentioned, thus placing further facilities in the way of tourists visiting the beautiful cold lake scenery of the Middle Island. i—D. 1.

TOTAL EXPENDITUEE. The expenditure during last financial year was less than during the previous year. 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 ; (b) the similar expenditure between the Ist January, 1891, and the 31st March, 1905; (c) the gross total expenditure to the 31st March, 1905 ; and (d) the expenditure for the late financial year : —
WAYS AND MEANS. At the 31st March, 1904, the available balance of ways and means for public-works purposes was £393,802; and further funds were received as under :— £ Balance of £1,000,000 raised under the Act of 1903 ... ... 416,050 Amount raised under the Act of 1904 ... ... ... ... 717,063 To provide for debentures falling due ... ... ... ... 755,200 Transferred from revenue ... ... ... ... ... 600,000 Miscellaneous receipts . ... ... ... ... ... 11,633 Making a gross total of ... ... ...£2,893,748 The ordinary expenditure of the year amounted to £1,219,838. In addition to this, £62,540 was transferred to the credit of the State Coal-mines Account in respect of the Point Elizabeth Eailway; debentures to the amount of .£365,600 were paid off, and others to the amount of £384,100 were renewed ; thus bringing the total disbursements up to £2,032,078, and leaving a credit balance at the end of the year of £861,670. For the current year it is proposed to provide additional funds as under :— £ Balance of 1904 loan ... ... ... ... ... 32,937 New loan of 1905 ... ... ... ... ... ... 1,000,000 ■ Transfer from the Consolidated Fund— For public works generally ... ... ... ... 500,000 For development of water-power ... ... ... ... 50,000 For irrigation water-supply ... ... ... ... 50,000 This will give a total available ways and means of £2,494,607. The estimated expenditure for public works for the current year (excluding separate accounts having their own ways and means) amounts to £2,286,719, thus leaving a balance of £207,888 to be carried forward to next year.

EAILWAYS. As we are now in the last session of a Parliament, it would not be out of place to review what has been accomplished in the matter of railway-construc-tion during the term of office of the Liberal Administration—namely, since the 24th January, 1891. During this period 461 miles 75 chains of railway, constructed by the Public Works Department, has been opened for public traffic, while a length of 105 miles 61 chains has been acquired from private owners and added to the Government railway system; the total increase in the mileage of the Government railways during the period being 567 miles 56 chains. The different sections are as under : —
In addition to the above total of 567 miles 56 chains, we have 41 miles '21 chains upon which goods traffic is already being carried, and which will be available for passenger and other traffic in a few weeks. I will now refer to the different lines of railway that have been in hand during the last year, and state the proposals of the Government with regard to each for the current year. Kawakawa-Grahamtown . Construction-work has recently been resumed at the northern end of this line on a section about four miles in length, and fair progress is being made. The distance between the completed formation at the Kawakawa end and the terminus of the open railway at the southern end is rather under eighteen miles. The

Government is being urged to resume construction at the southern end —namely, from Hukerenui towards Towai—and the appropriation proposed for the current year provides for a resumption of work at this end. On the section between Whangarei and Grahamtown the earthwork has been proceeded with throughout the year, and plans and specifications have been completed for the deep-water wharf at the latter township. When this wharf is completed it will be possible for vessels up to 2,500 tons to lie at the berthage at all stages of the tide. Tenders for building the wharf will-be invited in due course. The total expenditure on this railway last year amounted to £8,610, and as considerably more work will be in hand during the current year a larger expenditure must be anticipated. The vote proposed is therefore .£20,000. Helensville Northwards. The section between Ahuroa and Woodcock's was opened for public traffic on the 12th May last, and the formation of the next section—namely, to Kaipara Flats—is nearly finished, and the platelaying and ballasting is in progress. Formation is also well in hand on the section between Kaipara Flats and Tauhoa. This railway is fully surveyed as far as Hoteo, but as a considerable extension of the line was authorised last session it is proposed to put further survey-work in hand as soon as a staff location engineer is available. Some of the landowners along the route have offered to give the land required for the railway free, and as soon as the route has been definitely determined the necessary formal agreement to give effect to this arrangement will be submitted to them for signature. Last year's expenditure amounted to £9,320, and for the current year an appropriation of £30,000 is asked for. Paeroa-Waihi. Satisfactory progress has been made with the works on this line during the past year. Coal traffic is now being carried on as far as the Waihi Goldmining Company's battery at Waikino. The formation is finished to Waihi; rail-laying on the last section is well in hand, and the erection of the station buildings is in progress. As gravel is not available, all the ballast on this line has to be crushed, and the rate of progress is therefore slower than would otherwise obtain. The railway will be completed to Waihi and handed over to the Eailway Department for regular traffic at an early date. The expenditure on this railway last year amounted to £39,676, all of which was charged to the special account established for this line. At the close of the financial year a balance of £8,861 remained at the credit of this account, but as some additional works are necessary that sum will not quite meet the cost of completing the line, and it is proposed to take a vote of £6,000 to close accounts in connection with it. GISBORNE-KoTORUA. The section between Kaiteratahi and Karaka was opened for public traffic on the 13th April last. The survey of the extension authorised last year has been proceeded with, and several miles of same are now located, so that it has been possible to make a start with the earthworks. The trial survey has been carried as far as the summit on the Gisborne side of the Motu Valley. This summit is 1,964 ft. above sea-level, and the distance from Gisborne is 43J miles, and 25| miles from Karaka. Before permanently Jocating any farther portion of the line beyond the section, which has just been commenced, it is considered advisable to remove the survey party to the Opotiki side of the main range, as the question of the most advantageous point to enter and cross the Motu Valley is largely influenced by the question of the best point to leave that valley and to make a descent to the low lands in the Bay of Plenty. The expenditure last year amounted to £16,068. This was in excess of the vote, but under all the circumstances it was thought advisable to push on the works' to completion so as to make the expenditure interest-bearing as soon as possible. For the current year a vote of £20,000 is proposed.

Mamaktj - TV, Puke. A rough exploration of a projected railway route between the above points has been made. Mamaku is the summit station on the liotorua line, and the projected railway, if constructed, would connect the fertile lands of the Bay of Plenty with the Auckland railway system. From the rough examination of the country that has been made it appears that a very favourable route for constructing a line at comparatively small cost can be obtained. It is proposed during the year to have a trial survey made, and I hope to be able to submit the result to the House next session. Stbatfobd-Ongabue . The section of this line between Toko and Oruru was opened for regular traffic on the Ist March last; and formation on the Huiroa Section has been begun. The extension of this line will be of material assistance in developing a good class of country, and will eventually form an important connection between Auckland and Taranaki. The expenditure last year was £6,217, and for the current year an appropriation of £20,000 is provided. Mount Egmont Bbanch. This is one of the new lines authorised last session. The earthworks were commenced in January, and have now been completed for a distance of four miles, and the bush felled for a mile and a half further. A start has also been made with the platelaying, and machinery for stone-crushing has been ordered. Probably by about the end of the financial year the output of stone ballast from this railway will have commenced. The expenditure last year was comparatively small, having amounted to £1,986 only, but for the present year a vote of £15,000 is proposed. This will complete the line to the point where the first deposit of stone is met with, and will also cover the cost of the crushing plant. Nobth Island Main Tbunk. At the northern end the rail-head has been advanced to Owhango, 190 miles from Auckland. The formation is complete for four miles further, and is in hand as far as and a little beyond Pukerimu, 198 miles from Auckland. The works on this section are rather heavy, and include two tunnels—one nearly 5 chains and the other 19 chains in length. Beyond this point the service-road is in course of construction. The formation has already reached the edge of the Waimarino Plateau, and is being pushed forward to the site of the Makatote Viaduct so as to facilitate the work of erecting that structure. The contract for the Makatote Viaduct was let to Messrs. J. and A. Anderson, of Christchurch, in June last, for the sum of £53,369. Though both longer and higher than the Makohine Viaduct, the structure at Makatote will not be of so difficult or costly a character. The principal reasons for this are the shorter spans and the safer material on which to build the foundations. At the former the foundations were in papa, and necessitated the use of enormous concrete monoliths, while at the latter the material is much harder, and less work and expense is necessary. The longest spans at Makatote will be 100 ft., whereas at Makohine they were 247 ft. A drawing of the Makatote Viaduct is appended to this Statement. At the southern end platelaying between Taihape and Mataroa is in hand, and ballasting has been begun. The " heading " through the Mataroa Tunnel has been finished for some time, and the work of enlarging and lining is being vigorously pushed on, the parties working night and day. As soon as the lining of this tunnel is finished the platelaying on the section to Turangarere will be put in hand, the formation of that section being now well advanced. Work is also in hand on both the Waiouru and Murimutu Sections, and preparations are being made for taking in hand a further section of the unfinished portion of this railway during the coming summer. The number of men at present employed on the line exceeds thirteen hundred, and this number will be increased as soon as carting can be resumed.

The surveyed line of the railway in the neighbourhood of Eaetihi is about seven miles distant from the Eaetihi Township. The Department has been urged to deviate the line so as to pass through Eaetihi; but, as it is desirable that the Main Trunk Eailway between Auckland and Wellington should be constructed by the shortest and most direct route, I could not recommend the proposed deviation. A trial survey will, however, be made to ascertain the cost of connecting with Eaetihi by means of a branch line, which branch line could ultimately be extended to Pipiriki if thought necessary. The construction of the service-road to connect the works at the Auckland and Wellington ends will also be proceeded with during the ensuing summer. The expenditure on the North Island Main Trunk Eailway last year amounted to £154,436—name1y, £136,372 out of the ordinary construction vote, and £18,064 out of the vote for permanent-way materials. A larger expenditure will be required this year, and a vote of £300,000 is therefore asked for. Blenheim-Waipara. Formation-works have been resumed at the north end of this line— namely, on the section between Seddon and Flaxbourne. The work having only recently been commenced, no great progress has yet been made. At the southern end considerable work has been done, and but for the unusually wet weather experienced the line would ere this have been opened for traffic to Hurunui Station. 1 fear it will now be impossible to open it until about the Ist October. Work in the Hurunui Gorge is in hand. Tenders for the station buildings at Westlands have been invited. This station will be upon the Cheviot main road, and I hope to be able to have the railway to that point opened for traffic at a reasonably early date. Last year's expenditure totalled to £23,195, and for the current year (to meet the cost of works at both ends of the line) a vote of £45,000 is proposed. Midland. At the Nelson end the rail-head has been advanced to within half a mile of Tadrnor, and the ballasting is in progress, so that we should be in a position to carry goods to Tadmor at an early date. A further section of this line, 10| miles in length, was authorised in the Eailways Authorisation Act of last session, and formation-work thereon has been started. At the Eeefton end considerable work has been done. A combined road and railway bridge has been built over the Waitahu Eiver; and a similar bridge over the Inangahua, at the landing, has also been finished. Progress has been made with the earthworks, especially on the embankments approaching the Waitahu Bridge. At the Otira end a contract has been let for the bridges over Goat Creek and the Eolleston Eiver, and a start has been made with the earthworks. The surveys for the permanent location of the summit tunnel at Arthur's Pass are now well advanced. Honourable members will realise that a work of the magnitude of the Arthur's Pass tunnel demands much more accurate survey than is ordinarily required in railway undertakings. In view of the special nature of this tunnel and the plant that will be required to carry it out expeditiously, the Government has determined to invite tenders for its construction. While the surveys are going on, all necessary data is being obtained for the utilisation of a water-power plant to generate electricity for use in working the traffic on the tunnel section of the railway. At the Springfield end good progress has been made. The line as far as Staircase Gully is regularly used for the conveyance of goods; the Staircase Gully Viaduct is in course of erection, and making good progress ; the formation between Staircase and Broken Eiver is well advanced ; the piers for the Broken Eiver Bridge have been begun ; and the earthworks between that point and Sloven's Creek are in hand. A service-road is also in course of construction between Broken Eiver and the Cass.
D.—l
The total expenditure on the Midland Eailway last year was £55,468. This year a larger vote will be necessary, and an appropriation of £100,000 is therefore proposed. Westpobt-Inangahua. The first twelve miles of this railway was authorised last year. The survey of the whole line has been in hand for some time, and is nearing completion. It is proposed, as soon as the appropriations for the current year are passed, to commence formation-work at the Westport end, and a vote of £10,000 for the purpose appears on the estimates. Ngahebe-Blackball . The approaches to the Ngahere Bridge sustained some damage during a heavy flood in the Grey Eiver which took place a short time since, but the damage was speedily restored and protection-works constructed. The formation of the railway beyond the bridge is in hand. Last year's expenditure amounted to £7,249, and for the current year a vote of £10,000 is proposed. GtßEYMouth - Point Elizabeth. This railway was completed and handed over to the Eailway Department for regular working on Ist December last. Some supplementary works have since been and are still in hand, but will shortly be completed. The expenditure last year amounted to £11,420, which was charged to the State Coal-mines Account, but transferred at the end of the year, together with the expenditure during previous years on this railway, to the debit of the Public Works Fund, as provided in the Appropriation Act of last session. An expenditure of about £2,500 will be necessary during the current year to complete the work, and a vote for this amount is provided accordingly. Hokitika-Eoss. The combined road and railway bridge over the Hokitika Eiver was finished in October last. A contract for the bridges over the Mahinapua and Fisherman's Creeks has been let, and the latter bridge is now completed and the former well advanced. The formation-works are practically finished for eight miles and a half, and some rail-laying and ballasting have been done. The first section of the railway —viz., to Ogilvie's, abreast of Lake Mahinapua—will probably be available for traffic during the year. Last year's expenditure amounted to £17,174, and for the current year a vote of £20,000 is asked for. Culverden-Eothebham-Hanmeb. This is another of the new lines, a section of which was authorised last session. A survey of the line between Culverden and Hanmer has recently been completed, and the plans are now being prepared, so that we shall be in a position to commence construction-works shortly. A vote of £10,000 is proposed accordingly. Culvebden-Waiau. This projected line would be a branch from the Culverden-Hanmer Eailway. Its construction has not yet been authorised, but, as proposals have been made to provide the whole of the funds required on terms "similar to those approved by Parliament in the case of the Paeroa-Waihi Railway, it is proposed to introduce a Bill to authorise its construction accordingly. Otago Centbal. The earthworks on the section between Omakau and Chatto Creek have been completed, and the laying of the rails is in hand. Earthwork is also finished between Chatto Creek and the second bridge over the Manuherikia Eiver. A contract for the erection of the bridge is let to Messrs. G-. M. Fraser

and' Co., and the work is well in hand, but is not progressing as fast as I should like to see it. The contract time expires in November next, but at the present rate of procedure I am doubtful if it will be completed within the time. lam urging the contractors to use the utmost expedition with the work, as if it is not completed within the contract period it will have the effect of delaying the progress of the railway, as the formation between the bridge-site and the third crossing over the river near Alexandra is already well advanced. The contract for the third bridge over the Manuherikia has also recently been let to Messrs. Fraser and Co. The date for its completion is the 30th October, 1906. Formation-work has also been started on the Alexandra - Clyde Section, and as it is of an easy character it will not take very long. The completion of the whole railway to Clyde is therefore now well in sight. Last year's expenditure amounted to .£44,924, and for the current year a vote of £100,000 is asked for. Lawbence-Eoxbubgh. This is one of the new railways authorised in last year's Act. It is proposed to commence formation-work at the Lawrence end shortly, and a vote of £10,000 is provided in the estimates for the purpose. Hebiot Extension. This railway has now been completed, having been taken over by the Railway Department for regular traffic on 15th February. The expenditure last year amounted to £6,422. As some of the expenditure in connection with the completion of the undertaking did not come to charge before 31st March it will be necessary to take a vote of £3,000 in the current year's estimates to provide for same. Gobe-Waikaka . This is another of the new lines authorised last session. In this case, as in the case of the Culverden-Waiau line, proposals have been made to the Government to provide the funds for the construction of the railway on similar terms to those authorised in regard to the Paeora-Waihi line, and a Bill to sanction the acceptance of these terms will be submitted to Parliament shortly. C ATLIN' S-WAIMAH AKA. Work has recently been commenced on a new section at the Catlin's end of this railway. Bushfelling has been completed for about two miles, and earthwork is in hand. After mature consideration, it has now been definitely decided to construct the extension at the Waimahaka end on the Tokonui route, and formation-work has just been begun. Last year's expenditure on this railway amounted to £4,193, and for the current year an appropriation of £20,000 is proposed. RIVEBSDALE-SwiTZEES. The only work done on this line last year was the completion of the bridge over the Mataura River. The formation-work between Riversdale and the Mataura Bridge, which was executed several years ago, is now a good deal out of order. It is proposed to have this put into satisfactory condition, and to also undertake an extension of the line beyond the bridge so as to reach a point where a profitable traffic may be expected. Last year's expenditure amounted to £1,302, and for the current year a vote of £5,000 is proposed. Obepuki-Waiau. Nothing has been done on this line since the completion of the section to Waihoaka, but it is now proposed to take a further length in hand, and a vote of £10,000 is accordingly proposed.

Total Appbopbiations fob Bailway-consteuction. Including the vote of ,£lOO,OOO for permanent-way materials and the small votes for old land claims and surveys of new lines (£l,OOO and £3,000 respectively), the total appropriations proposed for railway-construction purposes amount to £860,500. This is materially in excess of last year's vote, and is a consequence of the more vigorous programme adopted. EOADS AND BRIDGES. The particulars of the appropriations administered by the Department of Roads, and the expenditure thereunder, for the year 1904-5, are shown in the following table :—
From the above, it will be seen that the total sum voted for roadworks under the control of the Eoads Department was £374,075. The authorities issued exceeded that amount by £37,094. The gross expenditure by that Department during the year was £257,166, of which £3,194 was afterwards recovered, leaving a net expenditure of £253,972. At the end of the year there were outstanding liabilities amounting to £72,775, which, added to the £257,166 actually paid during the year, shows that the total value of work in hand during the year amounted to £329,941. This, for the reasons already mentioned, was less than was anticipated. In addition to its own votes, the Department has supervised works for other Departments to the amount of £10,805, which amount, added to the expenditure above mentioned, gives a total of £267,971. The outdoor work done during the year consisted of— Engineering surveys ... ... ... ... ... 441 miles.

The roads constructed during the year were nearly all in forest country, where the work is much more costly than in open land. The country also, as a rule, was broken and remote from supplies, which adds to the cost and arduousness of the work. During the year about fifteen hundred selections of country land took place, all involving more or less road-making to give the holders access. The appropriations proposed for the current year are as under:— Eoads, Departmental ... ... ~. ... ... 18,775 Eoads generally... ...

The vote last year under this head amounted to £36,900. The expenditure was £26,112, with contingent liabilities at the end of the year of £32,163. The sum proposed to be authorised for the current year is £78,512, on account of which a vote of £50,000 is proposed. DEVELOPMENT OF GOLDFIEDS AND MINING. The gold-mining industry maintains its position. Although the yield for the year 1904 shows a slight decrease compared with the preceding twelve months, which was the highest for thirty-three years, the falling-off was very slight. For the year 1904 there was exported from the colony 520,320 oz. of gold, value £1,987,501, and for the previous year 533,314 oz., value £2,037,831. For the first time in the history of the colony the export of silver, which is a by-product principally from the gold-mines in the Ohinemuri district, reached a total of upwards of a million ounces, whilst the excess in value was £21,378 compared with the value of the production for the preceding twelve months. There is no reason to suppose that the mining industry, which is being vigorously prosecuted all over the colony, will not keep up to the standard attained during recent years. The amount expended last financial year on works for the development of the goldfields was £6,258, while the liabilities at the close of the year amounted to £1,795. It is proposed to take a vote of £30,000 for the current year. TOUEIST AND HEALTH EESORTS. The expenditure last year amounted to £17,108, the drainage-works at Eotorua absorbing £5,445. The works carried out at Hanmer included a new swimming-bath, erection of a tea-house, and additions to the spa, &c. The enlargement of Pukaki Accommodation-house was completed in time for the opening of last season. Oil-launches for Lakes Tarawera and Eotomahana were purchased, and have proved a means of successfully and profitably increasing traffic. The estimates now submitted make provision for commencing the new bath-buildings at Eotorua, tenders for which have been invited, and an amount on account of a new water-supply at the same place. Items are also included for the acquisition of steamers and an accommodation - house at Lake Te Anau, increased hut accommodation on the Te Anau-Milford Track, and for additions to Glade House. Provision is also made for a water-supply at Hanmer and drainage-improvement at Te Aroha. The gross authorization asked for is £28,153, on account of which a vote of £26,000 is proposed. TELEGRAPH-EXTENSION. The total amount expended during the year out of the vote for telegraphextension was £79,298. There were fifty-two new lines and extensions undertaken, on which were opened fifty-seven new offices.
D.—l
Among the more important lines may be mentioned Kaitaia-Herekino, Gisborne-Manutuke, Hunterville-Koeke, Dannevirke-Umutaoroa, AshburtonLongbeach, Owaka-Purekireki, and Invercargill-Winton. As in past years, the principal expenditure has been on the telephone exchanges. There is an ever increasing demand not only for additional connections in the existing exchanges, but also for new exchanges. There were 1,318 new subscribers during the year, and four new exchanges were opened. There are now eighty-five exchanges with 13,423 connections. The installation of metallic circuits rendered necessary by the electric-tram systems at the four chief centres has caused, and will continue to cause during the current year, a heavy additional expenditure. The number of outlying settlements desiring communication with the telegraphic system is still considerably beyond the limits of expansion set hj the allocation for the purpose, but as the cost of construction per mile has been largely reduced good progress will be made during the year. The amount asked for this year is £100,000, including £30,114 liabilities, leaving £69,886 for new lines, existing exchanges, and additional exchanges not previously authorised. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The total expenditure on public buildings out of votes under the control of the Minister for Public Works amounted last year to £142,946 —namely, £26,268 under the Consolidated Fund and £116,678 under the Public Works Fund. This shows a considerable diminution on the figures of the previous year. For the current year votes totalling to £26,410 under the Consolidated Fund and £216,700 under the Public Works Fund are proposed. These figures are irrespective of the substantial votes for school buildings out of the Consolidated Fund proposed on the estimates under the control of the Minister of Education. General. Under this head the amount expended was £9,068, the principal items being the new offices and laboratory of the Mines Department, Wellington ; the partial reconstruction of the Departmental Buildings at Napier ; and additions and alterations at the Alexandra Depot. For the current year a vote of £7,000 is proposed. This provides for commencing the much-needed additions to the Departmental Buildings at Auckland; proceeding with the offices at Napier ; additions to the Parliament Buildings, and offices and laboratory for the Geological Department, Wellington ; and sundry minor works. Judicial. Courthouses. —The principal expenditure took place in connection with the new Law Courts in Dunedin, and some alterations at the Supreme Court, Wellington. Provision is made on the estimates, now submitted, for new Courthouses at Hamilton, Te Kuiti, Tauranga, Dannevirke, Eltham, Taihape, Masterton, Brightwater, Hawkesbury, Kaitangata, and Campbelltown; for important additions at Auckland, Stratford, Feilding, Palmerston North, Christchurch, and Alexandra, &c. Gaols. —The expenditure under this head was not large. Work was carried on throughout the year at the new building in Auckland, and a new wing was provided at Wellington. Further provisions for the same works is made on the estimates, also for proposed new Gaols at Gisborne and Invercargill. Police-stations. —The vote for Police-stations embraced a considerable number of items, but none of them were of any magnitude. The total expenditure on police buildings during the year amounted to £6,782. For the current year a somewhat larger vote is proposed, the principal items being new Police Barracks at Newton (Auckland), and Christchurch; new stations at Helensville, Avondale, Karangahake, Waiuku, Eaglan, Taumarunui, Tologa Bay, Newtown (Wellington), Collingwood, Bingsland (Christchurch), Addington, Ngapara, and Gore ; substantial additions at Wellington (Lambton Quay); and new quarters at Nelson.
XI
D.—l
Post and Telegraph. Under this class also the number of items was considerable, but the expenditure was not very large in connection with any of them, the largest being for the new Post-offices at Eltham, Otaki, and Kaiapoi. The appropriation proposed for the current year provides for new offices at Waipu, Newmarket, Parnell, Cambridge, Whakarewarewa, Tauranga, Whakatane, Waipiro, Tokomaru, Tuparoa, New Plymouth, Waitotara, Taihape, Bulls, Palmerston North, Manakau, Lower Hutt, Nelson, Collingwood, Millerton, Brunnerton, Greymouth, Mornington, Winton, Otautau, and Half-moon Bay (Stewart Island) ; extensive additions at Christchurch ; additions at Auckland, Rotorua, Napier, Dannevirke, Pahiatua, Greytown, Wellington, G-ore, and Bluff; new quarters at Havelock and Arrowtown; the purchase of a property at Linwood, and of additional land and providing a water-supply at Wakapuaka. Customhouses. The new Customhouse at Wellington has been completed and occupied. The expenditure in connection with the building during the year amounted to £13,018, and a further vote of £7,700 is necessary to clear off liabilities. Mental Hospitals. The expenditure on buildings of this class amounted to .£15,949, which was nearly the same as during the previous year. The principal expenditure took place in connection with the four large institutions at Auckland, Porirua, Sunnyside, and Seacliff. In the estimates now submitted, provision is made for fairly extensive additions at the same institutions, and also at Mount View, Wellington, as well as for minor works at Nelson, Hokitika and Waitati. Schools. Our expenditure on school buildings is now being brought more and more on to the Consolidated Fund. Last year's expenditure totalled to £110,727, of which £68,006 was debited to revenue and £42,721 to the Public Works Fund. For the current year still larger votes are proposed out of the Consolidated Fund, and £85,000 out of the Public Works Fund. Of the works carried out directly under the control of the Government, the principal structures in hand during the year were the Levin Industrial School, the School for Deaf-mutes at Sumner, and the Home for Defectives at Richmond. The Native schools at Waitahanui, Okuanui, Te Rawhiti, Waimarama, and Mangaorongo have been completed, the teacher's residence at Puniho enlarged, and the disused buildings at Huria removed and added to the Paeroa School. Additions and alterations are now being made at Whangape. Otheb Buildings. Hospitals. —A small expenditure took place in connection with our general hospitals, in the shape of grants for additions at Whangarei, Coromandel, Wairoa, Wanganui, and Picton. A contract was let for a new wing at Greymouth, but very little expenditure came to book during the year. The estimates for the current year provide for aid to new buildings or additions at Northern Wairoa, Rawene, Waihi, Stratford, Napier, Masterton, Blenheim, Westport, Reefton, Greymouth, Hokitika, &c. Agricultural. —Last year's operations under this head were of a very limited character, and consisted chiefly of the erection of some small buildings at Wallaceville, and the purchase of land at Te Mata for a viticultural nursery. The vote now proposed provides for buildings at Auckland, Arataki, Palmerston North, Wallaceville, Wellington, Hokitika, and Bluff. Public Health. —The only expenditure under this class occurred in connection with the Cambridge Sanatorium and the Vaccine Laboratory at Wellington. During the current year it is proposed to erect suitable offices for the Health Department in Wellington; new wharves at the Quarantine-stations at Motuihi
XII
D.—l
and Somes Island; hospital and water-supply at the latter station; and provision for these works is made on the estimates accordingly. Provision is also made for subsidies for Infectious Diseases Hospitals at Auckland, Waihi, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill; and for annexes for consumptives at New Plymouth, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, and Invercargill. LIGHTHOUSES, HAEBOUB-WOEKS, AND HAEBODB DEFENCES. The expenditure on lighthouse-works amounted to £2,168 only, and was incurred on works at Kahurangi Point, Jack's Point, and Cape Campbell. For the current year provision is made for completing the works at Cape Campbell, and also for connecting some of our lighthouses with the colonial telegraph system. Application has been made to the Government to provide a low-level light at Pencarrow Head. This, however, is, strictly speaking, a harbour light, and as such it is the duty of the Harbour Board to provide for same. In view, however, of any possible benefit to coastal shipping, the Government will favourably consider providing for the annual maintenance of the light if the Harbour Board will provide for its first cost. The expenditure on harbour-works was again small, being even less than last year's. On the current year's estimates new votes are provided for wharves at Horeke, Deep Creek (Waitemata), Orua, Graham Beach, and Moeraki, and for protective works at the Western Spit, Napier. Several unexpended votes of last year are also renewed. On harbour defences at the chief ports the sum of £2,51-5 was spent during the late financial year. A number of other works are still required, and a vote of £4,000 is asked for to provide for the same. UTILISATION OF WATEE-POWEE. Two reports on this subject were submitted to Parliament last session— one by Mr. Hancock, of San Francisco, and the other a Public Works Departmental report, giving more complete and detailed information than Mr. Hancock was able to supply. A further report by Mr. Allo has been submitted during the present session. Surveys have been put in hand during the year to procure the necessary data for the design of works to utilise the power available at Huka Falls on the Waikato Eiver and in the Tauherinikau, Clarence, Opihi, and Teviot Eivers; also further surveys will in a short time be started at the Hutt Eiver, Lakes Eotoiti, Coleridge, and Hauroko. The places indicated appear to be the most suitable in the first instance to give supplies of power to the present industrial centres of the colony. The Huka Falls and Eotoiti-Kaituna schemes would be alternative; whichever appears on an exhaustive examination to be the better would be first developed. The same remark holds for the Hutt and Tauherinikau Eivers. In Canterbury it is a question to be decided whether a central scheme at Lake Coleridge or two schemes, one at Hanmer using the Clarence Eiver and another at Opihi, would be the more favourable. The two schemes combined would command the whole of Canterbury in a very efficient manner, and the conditions of the Clarence scheme at Jollies Pass are very favourable. If carried out an electric railway from Culverden to Hanmer would easily be possible, or even from Christchurch to Hanmer. The survey of the Teviot Eiver shows that a scheme of about 25,000-horse power should easily be practicable. A series of power schemes is obtainable on this river, as there is a fall of nearly 1,800 ft. between Lake Onslow and the flood-level of the Clutha just below Eoxburgh. This is after deducting the fall in the conduits. There would be, say, four schemes, in series, along the Teviot Eiver. The last of the series—that next the Clutha Eiver—shows a fall of 870 ft., and would have a conduit two miles and a quarter in length, and ' about one mile and a quarter of pipes. The power available
XIII
D.—l
would be about 25,000 brake horse-power. All the four Teviot schemes together should yield over 50,000 brake horse-power. Lake Onslow is about fifteen miles from the Clutha. Its area is a little over two square miles. It is formed by a short masonry dam, 26 ft. high. By increasing the dam to 90 ft. in height the area of the lake would be ten square miles, probably more than will-be required to store all the water in the watershed of the Teviot above the dam. This is probably the most favourable site for a reservoir in the colony. The Teviot scheme is the largest available near Dunedin, so far as is at present known. It is possible to get a large power scheme by diverting the waters of the Upper Taieri through the Rock and Pillar Range. It remains to be determined whether such a scheme would compare favourably with the Teviot one. It is likely to be relatively much more costly. So far, the results to date of the surveys made show that the forecasts of power obtainable for the several schemes given in the Departmental report last year have been fully justified. Full information is being obtained as to the possibilities of working the Arthur's Pass Tunnel by electric traction, utilising the water of the Otira—and of the Rolleston if necessary—to provide the necessary motive power. Every attention is being given to the developments in electric traction on railways, so that full advantage may be taken of any power scheme that may be inaugurated. Developments of industries that require large supplies of power are also being studied, as the introduction of such into this colony would enable some of our more easily workable schemes to be profitably utilised.. The total amount of water-power readily available in New Zealand may now be put down at about 550,000-horse power in the North and 3,450,000---horse power in the South Island, or, in round figures, 4,000,000-horse power (estimated as brake horse-power on the turbine-shafts) for the whole colony; but these figures are not by any means exhaustive or final. In developing water-power schemes in New Zealand for objects other than the local use of power, or local consumption of the products of industries using such power —such, for example, as the manufacture of products for sale in foreign markets —it will be necessary to study well the colony's position in the world as a possessor of water-power resources, so that no disaster may follow from attempting to compete against foreign schemes working possibly under more favourable conditions. About a year ago, it was estimated that only about 2,000,000-horse power was in use in the whole world, in hydro-electric installations. This estimate was founded on statistics of a somewhat earlier date, which showed 1,500,000---horse power actually in use. Of this latter figure, less than one-third was in use in the United States, and only 12,000-horse power in Great Britain. The amount of power being utilised in the world is, however, increasing very rapidly. At Niagara there will soon be over 500,000-horse power made use of. The schemes proposed for immediate consideration, the amount of power expected to be derived from same, the probable total cost, and the amounts proposed to be voted for the current year are as under :— Scheme. Horse-power Estimated Cost. Proposed Vote.

The power used in the colony last year was about 400,000-horse power, of which the railways employed about one-half. By the judicious development of our great
XIV

resources in this respect there can be no doubt that many industries which cannot at present be profitably carried on in this colony could be successfully established, and thus greatly add to the general prosperity and afford employment to a largely increased population. CONCLUSION. Before concluding this Statement I wish to say a few words in reference to the career of a very old public servant who has been identified with the Public Works Department from its earliest days. On the 31st March next Mr. William Henry Hales, who now holds the position of Engineer-in-Chief of the colony, closes the active portion of his official career by retiring on the pension to which he is by law entitled. Mr. Hales entered the service of the late Provincial Government of Wellington on the 30th December, 1861 ; joined the General Government service in March, 1866; and entered the Public Works Department in March, 1872. He became Bngineer-in-Chief on the Ist April, 1892, and at the date of his retirement—after forty-four years continuous service—will have held that high and responsible position for fourteen years, or twice as long as any other occupant of the post has held it. He will relinquish the performance of his duties on the 31st December next. In allocating the amounts proposed for the various public works, very careful consideration has been devoted to the claims and necessities of the different parts of the colony. The total amount proposed to be voted this year is £2,381,616. It is with feelings of pleasure, therefore, that I look forward to the year's work. If New Zealand is to maintain its proud and prosperous position, facilities must be provided for the development of its natural resources, and this cannot be better accomplished than by a vigorous public-works policy.

During the financial year a total length of 45 miles 72 chains of railway was opened for traffic. The following contains the particulars of the sections: —
Appended hereto is a coloured diagram showing the lengths of railway opened each year since the commencement of the public-works policy. Kawakawa - Grahamtown. Section 7m. Iβ eh. to 15 m. {about 8 miles long). —The line has been completed up to the point, but has not yet been formally opened for public traffic. Some troublesome slips have occurred on the last half-mile. Beyond the 15-mile point the earthworks are in hand for about a mile. At the Whangarei end the earthworks have been in progress during the year, but have been delayed by relatively heavy slips occurring. The large bridge crossing the harbour has been completed during the year, also two small bridges. Helbnsville Northwards . Komokoriki Section. —The remaining portion of this section from 54 m. 29 eh. to 56 m. 30 eh. has been completed so far as to be open for traffic up to 56 m. 70 eh., including about half a mile of the Kaipara Flats section. Kaipara Flats Section (56 m. 70 eh. onwards). —The formation-works have been completed up to the Kaipara Flats Station. The formation of this station-yard is in progress, and the small bridges are being built. About one mile of platelaying is done, and the ballasting is in progress. Beyond 58 m. 70 eh. the formation-works are in hand up to 61 m. 40 eh. There are some heavy works on this length. Paeeoa - Waihi. Length, 12 miles lfi chains. —Good progress has been made during the year with all the works on this line. The headings in the Karangahake tunnel met in the beginning of September last, and the tunnel was completed by the end of January. The bridges over the second and third crossings of the Ohinemuri River have been finished, and the remaining small bridges on the line have just been completed. The rails are laid up to 9m. 50 eh., and this part of the work will be finished to Waihi in about two months. As broken stone for ballast has to be provided, it will take longer than this to finish the ballasting. A contract for station buildings at Waikino has been finished, and a contract for the station buildings at Waihi is about half finished. The coal required by the Waihi mine has been carried by the railway since the 3rd April last. GISBORNE - KaRAKA. Karaka Section (12m. 65ch. to 18m.; length, sm. loch.). —The large bridge over the Waipaoa River was completed in September last, and the other principal work on the section, the tunnel at 13 m. 10 eh., 210 yards long, was completed in October last. The platelaying was started immediately after the completion of the Waipaoa Bridge, and, although delayed by slips, this and all other works were in a sufficient state of completion to allow of the line being opened for public traffic to Karaka Station on the 13th April last. Since that date all necessary works have been completed up to the end of the Karaka Station. North Island Main Trunk Railway. North End. Taumarunui Section (76 m. 55 eh. to 83 m. 28 eh.; length, 6 miles lf.B chains). —The decking of the Taumarunui Bridge for vehicle traffic has been completed during the year. The ballasting of the section has been completed. This work was delayed by heavy slips and by the Wanganui River cutting into the railway-work. It took about six months' work to deal with the slips and build protective works and groynes to defend the railway works against the river. It is probable that there will yet be considerable trouble from slips on this section. Whakapapa Section (129 m. to 119 m., Marton mileage; length, 10 miles). —The formation and bridge-works on this section are so far completed that the rails have been laid on a length of 7| miles, and it is expected that they will be laid over the whole section in about two months. Owhango Section (119 m. to 111 m.; length, 8 miles).—All the bushfelling has been done on this section; the service-road has been finished up to Pukerimu at the end of the section, and considerable progress has been made with the earthworks.

Makaretu Section {111 m. to 10 J/, m.; length, 7 miles). —Work is in progress on this section, including bushfelling, construction of service-road, and formation-works. The approach-cutting to the longest of the tunnels on the section has been completed. The manufacture of the steel superstructure for all the bridges up to Makatote is now nearly completed; several of the bridges are erected. A contract has just been let to Messrs. J. and A. Anderson, of Christchurch, for the erection, complete, of the Makatote Viaduct. The contract sum is £53,369, and the time for erection two years. A Public Works sawmill has been started at Kakahi. When all the machinery is at work about 9,000 to 10,000 superficial feet per day will be put out. Planing machinery, &c., is to be added shortly. South End. The line up to Taihape was opened for goods traffic on the Ist August, and taken over on the 10th September by the Railway Department; but work on clearing slips, also some minor works, occupied the attention of this Department for some months after that date. There were many very heavy works on this section —about 13 J miles long —including seven tunnels, large banks, and culverts, the Mangaweka Viaduct, and the Toitoi Bridge. The station formation and equipments at Taihape also involved the execution of a large amount of work. A road bridge is being built over the Hautapu River to give better access to the Utiku Station. Paengaroa Section (Jβ m. Iβ eh. to 50 m. 70 eh.; length, 10 miles SO chains). —The first halfmile of this section is included in the section opened. The formation-works up to 49 m. 20 eh. have been completed, including a short tunnel 5| chains long. The platelaying of this finished portion is in hand, and will shortly be finished up to the Mataroa tunnel. The work of enlarging and lining this tunnel is being vigorously carried on, and it is hoped to have it finished before the end of the year. The excavations for the Mataroa Station are practically finished, and only one large bank remains to be completed. The approach-roads to the station-yard have yet to be formed and metalled. Turangarere Section (50 m. 70 eh. to 61m. Iβ eh.; length, 10 miles 50 chains). —The culverts have all been finished, and the earthworks are now well advanced towards completion. As soon as possible double shifts will be started on all necessary remaining earthworks to accelerate the completion of the formation-works on the section. Slips have given trouble on this section, owing to the presence of numerous springs. The concrete abutments and piers for the bridge over the Hautapu River at 51 m. 12 eh. are being built, and work on those for the second bridge will be started soon. A short tunnel near Hautapu Falls is in progress. Waiouru Section (61m,. Iβ eh. to 69 m.; length, 7 miles Jβ chains). —Some culverts have been finished, but not enough to enable all the earthworks on the section to be put in hand. All the heavy cuttings have been started, the work extending up to 66 m. Beyond this point the earthworks on the section are not heavy. An effort will be made to complete all the concrete-work on the section next summer, go that there may be no chance of the earthworks being delayed in completion. A cart service-bridge has been built over the Hautapu near 62 m. 67 eh., and a large cement-shed near the same place. Stone is being quarried and broken, ready for delivery at the various culvert and bridge sites as soon as the ground is firm enough for carting. Only a little over three months were available for carting during the year. The roads did not become practicable for carting until the end of January, and heavy rains set in early in May; work had therefore to be carried on under very adverse conditions. Murimutu Section (69 m. to 82 m. 70 eh.; length, 18 miles 70 chains). —A start has been made with a drive for a culvert at 70 m. 49 eh., and as soon as the roads are open all the heavy works on the section will be put in hand. Near 71 m. a two-roomed cottage has been built for the officers who will be in charge; also a stable, blacksmith shop, store, and a cement-shed. The bushfelling and clearing on the sections beyond Murimutu will be started shortly. All the steelwork for the bridges up to 87 m. is completed. Preparations are being made for starting the works over the whole length of the line next summer. Stratford - Whanoamomona. Oruru Section (6m. 26 eh. to llm. 16 eh.; length, £ miles 70 chains). —The earthworks were completed early in the year, and then the platelaying and ballasting were pushed on. The section was handed over to the Working Railways Department on the Ist March. Euiroa Section (llm. 16 eh. to 15 m. 68 eh.; length, J/, miles 52 chains). —The earthworks on this section have been started, including the summit cutting at 14 m. 15 eh., and fair progress has been made during the time worked. Severe weather has somewhat hindered work. Mount Egmont Branch Railway. The earthworks on this line were started in January last. The works being very light, about 4 miles of formation have been finished, and the bush has been felled for another \\ miles. A considerable amount of work is required in the construction of the junction-station yard, and this is not yet finished. A start has been made with the platelaying. One mile and a half of fencing has been finished and 4 miles of telephone-line erected. Surveys have been made for site for stone-crushing station and for water-power schemes to work the crushing plant. Midland Railway. Tadmor Section (Sim. to /(.I m. 29 eh.; length, 10 miles 29 chains).— The protective works to the approach-banks to the Motueka Bridge have been finished. The line has been finished up to Maniaroa Station ready for traffic. The station is 4m. 55 eh. beyond Motupiko Station. The
D—l
52
rails have been laid to 40 m. 34 eh.; the line is partly ballasted up to 39 m., and has been fenced where it runs through private property. Beefton-lnangahua Section—A. combined road and railway bridge has been built over the Waitahu River, about 2J- miles beyond Reef ton. The bridge over the Inangahua River at the Landing Ferry has also been finished, and road-approaches have been made to it. One pier was damaged by flood in June last, and stone protection is being put round it. Some progress has also been made with the earthworks. Large parties of men are employed on the approach-banks to the Waitahu Bridge, and on stone protection for these banks. Arthur's Pass Section.-A. contract was let this month for the erection of the bridges over Goat Creek and the Rolleston River, and a start is being made with the construction of all works required between Otira Station and the Rolleston end of the Summit tunnel, excepting the banks to be made up from the tunnel-spoil. There is one large cutting on which several parties will be started, and special efforts made to secure its early completion. The distance from the end of the Otira Station-yard to the Rolleston end of the tunnel is 2 miles 28 chains. Mount Torient Section (6 m. to 18 m.; length, 12 miles).—The line is finished up to Staircase, and has been opened for goods traffic to that point. It is now fit to be opened tor passenger traffic to 9 miles 30 chains. There is only a short length of unfinished formation between Staircase and Broken River-about a quarter of a mile-but some of the works thereon are heavy About a mile of service-road has been completed during the year, and at present about 21 miles are under construction. Work on the two unfinished tunnels between Staircase and Broken River is being carried on vigorously; one of these tunnels is 261 chains and the other 301 chains long Of the first, 7 chains are completed and the heading put through, and 11 chains of the second is also completed, whilst the heading is about three-quarters driven. A start will shortly be made to work at four faces in the first of these tunnels-four faces are now being worked in the second in enlarging and lining 'it. Block-making for tunnel-limng has been carried on uninterruptedly during the year. The concrete foundation-blocks for the Staircase Viaduct were finished in December last. The contractors for the steelwork began erection in January this year, and the central steel pier has now been finished; the short span at the east end of the viaduct is nearly completed, and the staging for the other two large spans is being erected Four small bridges beyond Staircase are finished, and the masonry and timber piers and abutmen s for two other somewhat larger bridges are now well advanced towards completion The steelwork or these two bridges is being manufactured by contract. The foundations for the.piers for the Broken River Bridge have been excavated, and preparations are being made to build the concrete piers. The line has been fenced up to Staircase Station. Picton - Waipaea. All the works between Scargill and the Hurunui Station, just north of the Hurunui River crossin" are finished, except the ballasting of the Hurunui Station-yard. The rails are laid up of the station. The station buildings are being erected. A road has been made up the Hurunui Gorge to give access to the Hurunui Station from the mam road This station s 8 miles 54 chainf beyond Scargill Station. The formation-works ere in hand for about three mik beyond Hurunui Station. The works are not heavy, but an old slip has to be crossed in the koX and this may give trouble in excessively wet seasons. The questions of tunnelling lehind the dip or brTdging over the toe of it near the river, were carefully considered, as alternatives to making the"me oler the slip, as is now being done. The construction of culverts is being kept well rXnce of the earthworks. The bridge over the Hurunui River was completed in August last. Ngaherb - Blackball Railway.

between Alexandra and Clyde, some work having been done at about 129J miles. All culverts are finished up to 121 J miles, and are in hand up to 128 miles 68 chains. Some of the piers for the bridge over the Manuherikia, at the second crossing at 121 miles 26 chains, are finished, but the progress made by the contractor is not satisfactory. The timber for two short-span pile bridges, between the second and third crossings of the Manuherikia, will shortly be delivered, when their erection will immediately be put in hand. A contract has been let for the erection of the bridge over the Manuherikia, at the third crossing at 128 in. 72 eh. The timber for the bridge over Waikerikeri Creek, the last bridge before reaching Clyde, will be ordered immediately. Catlins River Railway Extension. The bushfelling has been completed for 2 miles 10 chains beyond 21 m. 60 eh., to which point the line is opened, but the clearing is being left till the weather is better. Some other work has been done in preparation of the swampy portions of the line to receive the banks. Waipahi - Hekiot Railway. The line has been completed from Heriot Station to Edievale, a distance of 6 miles 23 chains. Some of the station-buildings were removed from Heriot to Edievale. The section was opened on the 15th February last. Surveys of New Lines, Land-plan Surveys, etc. All the fieldwork for land-plan survey for the eighteen miles of line from Kawakawa to Hukereuui has been finished, the plans for ten miles have been passed by the Survey Department, and those for the remaining length are completed.

The drainage-pipes have been relaid in all the main streets, but the work in the residential portion of the town has yet to be done. Some of the work required to be done below lake-level was somewhat troublesome. The collecting-tank has been made serviceable, and an oil-engine for pumping has been obtained. No house connections have yet been made for a new water-supply. A survey has been made of a pipe-line from Rotorua to Moerangi springs; the distance is five miles and three quarters. It is proposed to lay a large-diameter pipe sufficient to give a good fire-supply in addition to ample domestic supply. The water from the Moerangi springs is of very good quality. Since this work was done other springs have been suggested as a source of supply, and the question as to their suitability is now under consideration. HANMER WATER-SUPPLY. Fresh surveys have been made for water-supply to the Hanmer Township; the proposed water-power scheme at Jollies Pass would seriously affect the scheme at first suggested. ELECTRIC TRAMWAYS. A very large amount of work has been done during the year in connection with approving plans for electric tramways, and in passing sections of tramways, and the rolling-stock on same, as completed. UTILISATION OF WATER-POWER. A complete survey for the utilisation of the Huka Falls on the Waikato River is in progress. When this work is done the survey for the alternative scheme to utilise the flow from Rotorua and Rotoiti Lakes by works located in the Kaituna River valley or otherwise will be started. A survey to determine all necessary data for the Tauherinikau scheme has been in progress for some time; though much hindered by the wet winter a large part of the work is now done. The survey of the Hutt River will then be put in hand to determine which will be the better scheme to develop for the supply of electric power for Wellington City and surrounding districts. An exhaustive survey is in progress at Jollies Pass to determine the extent of and the best location for works to utilise the water flowing in the Clarence River, by diverting it by a tunnel through Jcllie's Pass. The possibility of increasing the storage-capacity of Lake Tennyson by a dam is also being investigated; it will apparently be possible to do so at no relatively great expense, and thus the control of the flow from the headwaters of the Clarence River will become possible. It appears almost certain that over 20,000-horse power will be obtainable. An alternative to taking the water from the Clarence through Jollies Pass is to divert it through Jack's Pass. This does not appear at first sight to be so good as the Jollies Pass scheme, but sufficient data will be got to enable a correct decision being arrived at. A survey is now nearly completed for a water-power scheme to utilise the water from the two Opuhas, the Opihi, and the Tengawai. A considerable amount of water can be stored by the building of a dam at the upper end of the Opihi Gorge; the flow of water in the streams is considerable, and a good scheme appears to be available. As much as possible of the high-water flow of the two Opuhas and the Tengawai would be diverted into the reservoir on the Opihi. Some further information of a preliminary character has been got as to the possibility of a tunnel and pipe conduit to divert the water from Tekapo Lake into the Opihi. This is apparently quite possible. After the Opihi survey is finished some further information will be obtained regarding Lake Coleridge. A survey of the Teviot River scheme has been completed. A very large storage-lake can be formed by building a masonry dam. The available fall from Lake Onslow to the Clut'ha for power schemes is 1,780 ft. A series of power schemes would be possible; the lowest one would be the 10—D. 1.

58
first to be constructed; the fall obtainable for it would be about 870 ft. The result of the survey is to show that a very good power scheme is available on this river. Some data has been got as to the possibility of diverting the upper waters of the Taieri by a tunnel through the Rock and Pillar range. About 1,000 ft. of fall is obtainable, but the works would be costly. By storing water in a favourable reservoir-site a considerable power scheme could be got on the Earnscleugh River, near Clyde. Some further consideration has been given to possible additional power schemes on the Mohaka River, Hurunui, Ashley, Waiau-ua, and others, and to schemes already proposed on the Clarence, Mangawhero, &c, but no further special examinations to ascertain probable extent or location of works for these schemes have been made.
