1905. NEW ZEALAND.

RAILWAYS STATEMENT (25th July, 1905). BY THE MINISTER FOR RAILWAYS, THE HON. SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G.

Me. Speakeb,— In presenting the Eailways Statement for the year ending the 31st March, 1905, I am gratified to have to announce that the result of the year's working has again been satisfactory. The results may be summarised thus : — Year 1905. Year 1904. £ £ Total earnings ... ... ... ... 2,209,231 2,180,641 Total expenditure ... ... ... ... 1,492,900 1,438,724 Net profit on working ... ... ... £716,331 £741,917 GENERAL. The mileage of line open for traffic on the 31st March, 1905, was 2,374 miles, as against 2,328 miles for the previous year. The average number of miles operated during the year was 2,347. The following extensions were opened:— M. oh. Mangaweka-Taihape ... ... ... ... ... 12 76 Toko-Oruru ... ... ... ... ... ... 4 65 Ida Valley-Omakau ... ... ... ... ... 13 22 Owaka-Catlin's ... ... ... ... ... 3 37 Heriot-Edievale ... ... ... ... ... 6 17 Greymouth-State Collieries ... ... ... ... 4 79 Total 45 56 The capital cost of lines open for traffic has increased from last year to £21,701,572 for the year under review. This includes the cost of the steamers now run in conjunction with the Government Eailways on Lake Wakatipu. The net revenue, £716,331, is equal to a return of 330 per cent, on the capital invested in the open lines, and 3" 11 per cent, for the total capital, £23,003,704, invested in opened and unopened lines. The Kawakawa Section has again failed to pay working-expenses, the deficit being £363. The increase of 421,680 train miles run during the year represents additional facilities to meet the convenience of the travelling public. These figures include the permanent additions made to the time-tables, which amounted to 283,345 miles, representing a cost of £69,000. The train miles run during the year were 6,107,079, against 5,685,399 for the previous year. The principal additions to the passenger and mixed trains were as follows : Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Section—extra service between Palmerston North and Woodville ; Hurunui-Bluff Section—workmen's train between Pareora and Timaru, and an extra through express service between Christchurch and Invercargill. The facilities for travel between the North and South Island have been considerably improved by this extra express service, and by the acceleration of the Wellington-New Plymouth mail-trains, which enables the journey between the important centres of population in the northern and southern parts of the colony to be undertaken without unnecessary loss of time. This has been greatly appreciated by the largely increasing number of

passengers who now regularly travel between the two Islands, and to whom the saving of time is an important factor. The record of the late arrivals of the principal trains during the year gives the following results : — Average Late Arrival. Mins. Mins. For long-distance passenger trains ... .. 1-07, against 0-80 last year. For suburban trains ... ... ... ... 0-30, „ 032 For long-distance mixed trains ... ... ... 1-15, „ I'os „ The ordinary passenger traffic continues to maintain that elasticity which has been so remarkable a feature of the business during the past ten years. The number of such passengers carried during the year was 8,514,112, an increase of 207,729 over the previous year. Season tickets numbered 140,453, an increase of 10,534. " Workers' twelve-trip tickets " and " workers' weekly tickets" totalled 111,303, an increase of 9,246, or 9 per cent., on the issues for the previous year. The number of workers' tickets issued represents 79 per cent, of the total season-ticket business, but the revenue obtained from them is 22*41 per cent, only of the total amount derived from the issue of season tickets, which for the year under review amounted to £57,252. The holiday-excursion tickets issued during the year numbered 693,453, a decrease of 1,931 on the issues for the previous year. The total issue under the head of " School, Factory, and Friendly Societies' Excursions " was 113,659, an increase of 1,976 over the previous year. The number of school, factory, and friendly societies' excursions run in the chief centres of the colony was —Auckland, 29 ; Wanganui, 43 ; Welling-ton-Napier, 44; Christchurch, 139; Dunedin, 89; Invercargill, 43. The disparity in the number of excursions in the Auckland district as compared with the other centres is due to the fact that the Auckland Harbour abounds in attractive picnic resorts and places of interest which offer a particularly alluring day's outing to school and pleasure parties. The coaching traffic shows satisfactory increases in all classes grouped under that head—viz., parcels, an increase of 26,668; horses, 1,022; carriages, 172; dogs, 1,776. Under the heading of " Groods Traffic," cattle show an increase of 3,489 head; pigs, 7,500 head; wool, 6,310 tons; firewood, 3,108 tons; minerals, 62,037 tons. Decreases under the same heading are—sheep, 343,394 head; chaff, lime, &c, 848 tons ; timber, 16,385 tons ; grain, 87,973 tons ; merchandise, 27,312 tons. Having in view the enormous and unprecedented increase in sheep traffic during the year ending the 31st March, 1903, when no less than 1,096,473 more sheep were carried than during the preceding year —an increase of over 40 per cent. —it is not surprising to find a decrease in sheep business for the years 1904 and 1905; but, notwithstanding the falling-off when compared with the business done during a year when abnormal conditions prevailed, the business is still satisfactory, and shows an increase of 688,124 head as compared with 1902. The serious effect which the export of large numbers of ewe lambs during the two preceding years has had on the flocks of the colony is shown by the statistics published by the Agricultural Department, from which I gather that the number of sheep in the colony on the 31st March, 1904, was 1,388,174 head less than on the 31st March, 1903. This depletion of the flocks naturally reflects on the business of the railways in a twofold manner—first, in respect to the reduced number of sheep carried, and, secondly, in its bearing on the wool and frozen-meat tonnage, the latter being included in the merchandise business of the railways. The two provinces in which the largest depletion of flocks has taken place are Wellington and Otago, and the decreases in the railway live-stock business has been heaviest in those districts. The decrease of 16,385 tons in the timber traffic is accounted for by the cessation of the practice of shipping timber from Northern Wairoa to Helensville by water and railing thence to Auckland, the falling-off in logs sent from Auckland to Onehunga to be milled, slackness in the export business, and the fact that a number of mills in Southland have cut out the bush and ceased operations during the year. The decrease in grain tonnage is confined chiefly to the Canterbury and Otago Districts. In the former the decrease amounted to 90,612 tons, and in

II

D.-2

the latter to 9,096 tons, and is attributed to the fact of grain not coming forward as rapidly this season as last, owing to producers and others holding in anticipation of prices hardening. Other districts show slight increases in the business under this head, leaving the net decrease 87,973 tons, as stated above. The decrease in.merchandise —27,3l2 tons—is accounted for by the fallingoff in the frozen-meat traffic handled at Wellington, Wanganui, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Invercargill for export, and by the increase in the quantity of goods now water-borne to Dunedin-wharves direct, as the result of the improvement in the upper harbour, instead of being landed at and railed from Port Chalmers as heretofore. These two factors accounted for over 23,000 tons of the decrease ; the balance represents fluctuations in the ordinary business in various parts of the colony in respect to both shipping and local trade. The policy of improving and augmenting the rolling-stock has been pursued with unabated vigour during the year, and very satisfactory results have been achieved in this respect in the various workshops of the colony. Not only has the whole of the rolling-stock, machinery, and other plant and appliances with which lines were equipped on the 31st March, 1904, been maintained in a high state of efficiency, but the rolling-stock—which at that date consisted of 377 locomotives, with a tractive power of 3,572,3461b.; 809 passenger-carriages, with seating-accommodation for 31,858 passengers; 301 brake-vans; 12,372 fourwheeled and 760 bogie trucks, with a capacity of 92,533 tons —has during the year ending the 31st March, 1905, been increased by the addition of 14 locomotives, 55 carriages, 11 brake-vans, and 445 wagons. Of the 14 locomotives added to the stock, 7 were built in the railway workshops, and 7 under contract by Messrs. Price Bros., of Thames. The additions and improvements made to the rolling-stock during the year have increased the tractive power by 5*73 per cent., the passenger accommodation by 8 - 74 per cent., and wagon carrying-capacity by 5£ per cent. The wagons added to the stock have a carrying-capacity equal to 836 of the old style 6-ton four-wheeled wagons. The cushioning of second-class-car seats has now been practically completed, 498 such cars having been fitted with cushions ; 304 cars have also been fitted with lavatories. These conveniences are much appreciated by the travelling public. The average number of men employed was 9,361, against 8,782 last year, the increased mileage of line open for traffic, additional train services and consequent extending of the hours of business, together with further installation of safety appliances, necessitating a considerable augmentation of the staff. During the year 175 members of the permanent staff resigned, 116 retired on superannuation, 36 died, 53 were dismissed, and 733 engaged. Seven appeals against decisions of the Department were heard by the Bailway Appeal Boards, two of which were allowed and five dismissed. Twenty-three members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division during the year. The sum of £3,277 has been paid as compensation and compassionate allowance to members retired from the service and to relatives of members deceased. This sum includes £3,002 paid under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act. The Lake Wakatipu steamer service was maintained with punctuality throughout the year. The unfavourable weather during the Christmas and New Year holidays and the lateness of the Easter holidays caused a falling-off in the number of passengers. The goods traffic has also been affected by the diversion of business consequent upon the extension of the Otago Central Eailway to Omakau and the further decline of the dredging business. The diversion of business due to the extension of the Otago Central was foreseen, and I do not anticipate that the steamer business will be affected to any considerable extent by the further extension of the line. Notwithstanding the drop in the business, the steamers have been worked with satisfactory results during the year. Ninety miles of main line were relaid with 701b. rails, and five miles of branch line relaid with the second-hand rails taken out of the main line. REVENUE. The gross revenue, £2,209,231, exceeded the estimate by £29,231. The net revenue was, however, £25,586 less than the preceding year.

III

D.rt- 2

Passenger revenue has increased by £28,825 ; season-ticket revenue by £4,672 ; coaching traffic, £4,900 ; miscellaneous by £6,993. Goods revenue has decreased by £15,193, and rents and commissions by £1,607. The receipts per train mile amounted to 86 - 50 d., as against 91-75 d. for the previous year. The earnings of the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £5,897, against £6,997 last year. The net return was equal to 4-25 per cent, on the capital cost (£16,436), which, in view of the fact that the business diverted from the steamers has gone to the railway, is very satisfactory. EXPENDITURE. The total expenditure has been £1,492,900, including £5,198 incurred in connection with Lake Wakatipu steamers. The expenditure for working has absorbed 67-58 per cent, of the revenue, an increase of 1-60 per cent, over the rate for the previous year. 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. 1904-1905. 1903-1904. 1904-1905. 1903-1904. £ £ Traffic ... ... ... 402,715 374,347 18-28 17-22 Locomotive ... ... 535,635 526,156 2431 24-20 Maintenance ... ... 508,735 490,819 23-09 22-58 Management ... ... 68,353 68,223 3-10 3-14 1,515,438 1,459,545 68-78 67-14 Less credit recoveries ... 27,736 26,869 1-26 1-23 1,487,702 1,432,676 67-52 65-91 Lake Wakatipu steamers ... 5,198 6,048 0-06 0-07 £1,492,900 £1,438,724 67-58 65-98 The amount expended on maintenance of line, buildings, and other structures, £508,735, is an increase of £17,916 on the amount spent during the previous year, and gives an average expenditure of £216-64 per mile, against £212-94 per mile for the preceding year, an increase of £3-70 per mile. The increased expenditure has been incurred on the Kawakawa Section, £46; Whangarei, £105 ; Kaihu, £361; Auckland, £9,120; Gisborne, £21; HurunuiBluff, £8,501; Westland, £1,670 ; Westport, £601; and Picton, £1,748. The cost of maintenance has decreased on the Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Section by £4,048, and Nelson by £209. Additions and improvements to lines and structures, costing £12,391, which might fairly have been charged to capital, have been made during the year and charged to working-expenses. The expenditure on account of bridge renewals and repairs amount to £62,083, all of which was debited to working-expenses. The increased traffic expenditure is due to extra train services and the extension of safety appliances, which necessitate the employment of additional staff, and to the charging of the cost of renewals and repairs to tarpaulins to the Traffic Branch instead of to the Locomotive Branch. The increase in the Locomotive Branch is due to additional consumption of coal consequent on additional train mileage, increases in wages, and heavy renewals and repairs. The Head and Departmental Office expenditure has practically remained stationary. The sum of £291,240 has been expended under the head "Additions to Open Lines," and charged to Capital Account. Of this amount, £210,639 has been expended on rolling-stock, tarpaulins, Westinghouse brake, and machinery for workshops. The rolling-stock in respect to which the charges are made consists of 12 locomotives, 54 carriages, 8 brake-vans, 412 wagons, 250 tarpaulins, and 1 crane completed on the 31st March last; and 7 locomotives, 68 carriages, 13 brake-vans, 522 wagons, 390 tarpaulins incomplete, but in hand at that date ; and £79,777 on water services, buildings, sidings, land, signals, "and interlocking, safety appliances, bridges, workshops, and Departmental Offices.

In connection with the doubling of the Hutt Eailway line, the sum of £32,103 has been charged to Capital Account under the provisions of the Hutt Eailway and Eoad Improvement Act of 1903, and represents value of work already done in connection with that important undertaking.

CONCLUDING EEMAEKS, AND FOEECAST. The important train services foreshadowed in my last year's Statement were brought into operation some months ago, and have been the means of providing the public with rapid and convenient means of communication between the important centres of population in the two Islands. The inauguration of these train services necessitated a very large amount of work in connection with the recasting of the time-tables of all the important lines of the colony, as it was found necessary to alter the greater part of the local train services. Exhaustive inquiries were made with a view to ascertaining the requirements of the travelling public, and the new time-tables were compiled to meet, as far as possible, the suggestions received from various sources. I am gratified in finding that the services as now arranged are satisfactory to the large majority of the travelling public, and that the additional fast services are so much appreciated and so well patronised. The alteration in the availability of single tickets has also been very much appreciated, as it enables persons who require to make a long journey to book through at the lowest possible rate, and to break their journey en route as circumstances necessitate. The running of the steamers between Lyttelton and Wellington, and New Plymouth-Onehunga, in connection with the through fast trains was very satisfactory, and contributed greatly to the public comfort and convenience. During the last session of Parliament authority was obtained for the duplication of the Auckland-Penrose, Christchurch-Eolleston, and Dunedin-Mosgiel lines. The surveys in connection with the Auckland-Penrose line have been commenced, and those connected with the Christchurch-Eolleston and DunedinMosgiel lines will be undertaken as early as possible; and as soon as the necessary data has been obtained the work of construction will be actively prosecuted. Considerable progress has been made with the new Dunedin station building and the improvement of the Hutt Eailway. The line between Lower Hutt and Petone has been duplicated, and the new station buildings and yards are approaching completion. To enable the stone required for the breastwork to be obtained a quarry has been opened out at Pencarrow, a wharf built, and contracts are being let for quarrying and delivering the stone. . Steady progress has been made during the year in the important matter of extending the safety appliances. Signals and interlocked points were fitted during the year at Newmarket, Penrose, Greymouth, Palmerston North, and Anderson Bay Eoad Crossing, Dunedin; aud 66 tablet instruments and 85 miles of line fitted up and tablet-working installed between Auckland and Onehunga, Newmarket and Henderson, Penrose and Mercer, Lyttelton and Heathcote, Ida Valley and Omakau, Westport and Granity, and at Weedon's Station. Other extensions of tablet system are in hand, and will be vigorously pushed forward. The installation of these instruments adds very materially to the safety of the travelling public. The staff-and-ticket system of block-working was extended Mangaweka to Taihape. This appliance, like the tablet and interlocking system, has given satisfaction wherever it has been installed. The Government has now had control of the railways for ten years, and the time therefore appears opportune for giving a brief comparison of the traffic and rolling-stock for dealing therewith at 31st March, 1895, 31st March, 1900, and at 31st March, 1905, and a resume of the policy adopted to popularise and improve the efficiency of the railways. Dealing first with the quinquennial period extending from 31st March, 1895, to 31st March, 1900, it will be found that the mileage of line open for traffic increased from 1,993, with a capital cost of £15,352,613, to 2,104 miles, with a capital cost of £16,703,887, the distance added to the open line being 111 miles, with an increased capital cost of £1,351,274. The passenger business increased by 1,562,706 passengers, equal to 40 per cent.; season tickets by 34,712, 121 per cent. ; parcels by 179,134, 40 per cent.; horses 289, 3 per cent. ; carriages 409, 55 per cent.; dogs 3,549, 15 per cent.; drays 640, 91 per cent. ; cattle 24,173, 59 per cent.; sheep 1,003,866, 66 per cent.; chaff 40,320 tons, 109 per cent.; wool 1,293 tons, 1 per cent.; firewood 7,024 tons, 8 per cent.; timber 136,099 tons, 68 per cent.; grain 375,477 tons, 97 per cent.; merchandise 158,490 tons, 42 per cent.; minerals 360,781 tons, 42 per cent. The total tonnage increased

VI

1).—2

by 1,079,483 tons, 53 per cent., and the revenue by ,£473,040, 41 per cent. During the same period the rolling-stock was increased by the addition of 35 locomotives, with an increased tractive power of 651,1011b., the increase beingequal to 13 per cent, in respect to the number of locomotives, and 37 per cent, in regard to tractive power. The number of passenger-carriages was increased by 79, equal to 16 per cent., and the seating-accommodation by 4,635, or 27 per cent. Jirake-vans increased by 16, 8 percent.; sheep-trucks by 219, representing 56 per cent. Total increase in trucks 1,811, equal to 22 per cent. The truck carrying-capacity increased by 12,917 tons, equal to 25 per cent. Train mileage increased from 3,221,620 in 1895 to 4,187,893 miles in 1900, an increase of 966,273 train miles, or 30 per cent, of the total mileage run in 1895. Dealing next with the period 1900 to 1905, it is found that the mileage of line open for traffic increased from 2,104 miles in 1900 to 2,374 miles in 1905, giving an added length of 270 miles, an increase of 13 per cent, on the mileage open on 31st March, 1900. The capital cost during the same period was increased by ,£4,997,685, or 30 per cent. Passengers increased by 3,045,828, or 56 per cent. ; season tickets by 77,118, or 122 per cent.; parcels by 201,353, 32 per cent.; horses 4,177, 36 per cent. ; carriages 1,069, 92 per cent.; dogs 11,526, 43 per cent.; drays 962, 72 per cent.; cattle 45,861, 70 per cent.; sheep 889,197, 35 per cent. ; pigs 41,719, 116 per cent.; chaff 54,422 tons, 70 per cent.; wool 3,004 tons, 3 per cent. ; firewood 17,048 tons, 19 per cent.; timber 158,650 tons, 47 per cent.; merchandise 94,404 tons, 18 per cent. ; minerals 587,662 tons, 48 per cent. : total tonnage 883,637, 28 per cent.; total revenue, £585,340, 36 per cent. During the same period the number of locomotives was increased by 85, 28 per cent. ; locomotive tractive power by 1,369,635 lb., 57 per cent. ; passenger-cars by 287, 50 per cent.; passenger-seating accommodation by 12,553, 57 per cent. ; brake-vans by 87, 40 per cent.; sheep-trucks by 239, 39 per cent. ; total number of trucks all classes by 3,503, 35 per cent. ; carryingcapacity of trucks by 33,771 tons, 53 per cent. Train mileage advanced from 4,187,893 to 6,107,079 miles, an increase of 1,919,186 train miles, or 46 per cent, of the total mileage for year ending 31st March, 1900. The foregoing figures show conclusively that the growth in the business has been well maintained throughout both of the periods dealt with, and that although the increases which marked the traffic of the first five years ending 31st March, 1900, were phenomenal, the traffic for the five years ending 31st March, 1905, has been even more remarkable. Seeing that the railways of the colony form the means by which the greater bulk of the commercial business is carried on, the results of working the lines may safely be regarded as indicating the commercial condition of the colony, and the figures which I have quoted above indicate in the strongest manner the fact that the colony not only has during the past years been in a most prosperous condition, but that that condition still exists in a remarkable degree at the present time. Having dealt with the railway business in two quinquennial periods above, I append hereto an interesting statement giving a comparison of the railway traffic and rolling-stock accommodation on 31st March, 1895 and 1905.

It will be observed that the ordinary passengers have increased by 118 per cent., season tickets by 391 per cent., cattle by 171 per cent., sheep by 124 per cent., pigs by 79 per cent., total goods tonnage by 96 per cent., and total revenue by 92 per cent. During the same period the number of locomotives has increased by 45 per cent., the locomotive tractive power by 115 per cent., passenger-cars by 73 per cent., passenger-seating accommodation by 98 per cent., sheep-trucks by 117 per cent., trucks of all classes by 64 per cent., carrying-capacity of trucks by 92 per cent., while the train mileage has increased by 90 per cent. During the same period the mileage of line open for traffic has been increased by 381 miles, equal to 19 per cent., and the capital cost of the lines by £6,348,959, 41 per cent. During the ten years ending 31st March last the following work was turned out of the railway workshops of the colony :- - Locomotives built new ... 39 Converted and rebuilt, 25 Erected, 57.

When the control of the railways was resumed by the Government in 1895 the rolling-stock was only barely sufficient to meet the requirements of the traffic at that time, and the enormous expansion of business which occurred during the first three years after the resumption of control of the railways by the Government rendered it imperatively necessary to largely augment the rolling-stock, which had proved to be totally inadequate to cope with the business of the Department. After fully investigating the matter, the Government determined to deal comprehensively with the question of the rebuilding and strengthening of bridges, improving lines and curves, relaying, respacing sleepers, enlarging and equipping the workshops with up-to-date machinery, improving station accommodation, equipping railway-lines with safety appliances such as tablet, interlocking of points and signals, installation of Pintsch gas system of car-lighting, cushioning second-class cars, provision of footwarmers, augmenting the supply of rollingstock, and equipping the same with the Westinghouse brake. In accordance with this determination I prepared and submitted to Parliament, embodied in the Eailways Statement for year ending the 31st March, 1900, a schedule of the works proposed to be carried out, at an estimated cost of £2,500,000, spread over a period of five years. This programme has since been vigorously prosecuted, and as a result of the policy followed the railways are to-day in a more efficient state than at any other period of their history. It was also decided to adopt a comprehensive and progressive scheme for dealing with the conversion of the old four- and six-wheeled cars into up-to-date bogie vehicles. This, besides adding largely to the capacity of the cars, rendered available for use for many years to come a considerable number of cars that would otherwise have been obsolete and useless for service at the

VIII

present time. The tractive power of many locomotives has also been largely increased by rebuilding and reboilering, giving increased steam-pressure. Large economies have resulted from these two works. In addition to the stock actually added to the railways during the past ten years there were under construction on the 31st March last in the workshops of the colony, but incomplete at that date, 8 locomotives, 71 carriages, 13 brakevans, 132 bogie wagons, and 392 four-wheeled wagons. All these vehicles will be completed and brought into use during the current year, and will represent the completion of the 1904-5 programme. When the lines were taken over the Government had fully determined to build all rolling-stock required for the railways of the colony within the colony, and thus find further remunerative employment for its artisans. The phenomenal manner in which the railway business increased from 1895 onwards, however, rendered it utterly impossible to fully adhere to this policy until such time as the rolling-stock had been augmented to an extent sufficient to enable the business of the country to be properly dealt with. No imported stock has been placed on the lines since the year 1902, and I am glad to say that since that year the whole of the rolling-stock required for the use of the Eailway Department, with the exception of seven locomotives which have recently been built by Messrs. Price Bros., of Thames, has been constructed in the railway workshops of the colony; and not only has the quantity of rolling-stock since turned out of the workshops kept pace with the demands of the business, but the output has been sufficient to reduce the deficiency which existed. The increased carrying-capacity of the wagons added to the rolling-stock for the ten years ending the 31st March, 1905, was 92 per cent., the increased tonnage during the same period being 96 per cent. With a view to keeping pace with the increasing business and further augmenting the stock, a comprehensive programme has been prepared for rollingstock to be built in the workshops for the year ending 31st March, 1906. This comprises 60 carriages, giving seating accommodation for 3,240 passengers; 299 wagons, with a carrying capacity of 3,047 tons; four 47J ft. and five 30 ft. bogie brake-vans. The additional wagons will be equivalent to 508 ordinary four-wheeled wagons. Besides furnishing the means whereby a Very large number of the artisans of the colony will be kept in constant employment, this stock will, when complete, be of very material assistance in connection with the transport of the goods and passenger traffic. The Westinghouse brake, with which it was decided to equip the colony's rolling-stock in the year 1900, has, up to the 31st March last, been fitted to 343 locomotives, 752 carriages, 217 brake - vans, 9,708 wagons, and 6 travelling-cranes, has been found to be highly efficient, and an eminently satisfactory adjunct to our railway system.. Its utility is particularly noticeable in the daily handling of the fast passenger and heavy goods trains. But for its adoption the satisfactory increase which has been made in the speeds of the through passenger trains could not have been undertaken, as an efficient brake is a sine qua non in all such cases. The installation of the electric tablet, train staff and ticket systems, and the interlocking of points and signals, was commenced in 1901, and up to the 31st March. 1905, the tablet has been installed at 132 stations, 500 miles of line have been erected, and signals and points interlocked at 28 stations, and staff and ticket working installed over 66 miles of line. With a view to providing for the heavy traffic between Auckland and Penrose, Wellington and Lower Hutt, Christchurch and Eolleston, and Dunedin and Mosgiel, power has been taken by Act of Parliament to duplicate the lines. The policy of the Government has been throughout to regard the railways as adjuncts to the settlement of the country, and to look upon the earning of a large profit as of minor importance compared with the incalculable benefits that accrue to the State by giving the settlers a convenient and cheap means of transporting the produce of their farms to the markets, and any surpluses which have accrued after the payment of the minimum of 3 per cent, on the capital cost of the lines have been returned to the users of the railways in cheapened freights and

ii—D. 2.

increased facilities. The wisdom of the policy adopted is manifested in the results of the past ten years' working of the railways and the prosperity of the colony, and has enabled valuable concessions to be made to the general community by reductions in fares and freights during that time. It is estimated that the amount returned by the railways of the colony to the users of the lines in the matter of reduced rates has approximated £680,000, cf which sum £480,000 has been given in benefits to the agricultural and pastoral community. The most important concessions have been made in respect to ordinary and suburban passenger-fares—reduced on two occasions; season-ticket rates; travellers' ticket rates ; inauguration of cheap fares for schools, factories, and friendly societies; issue of workers' tickets on suburban lines; inauguration of holiday-excursion fares ; concessions to teachers, newspaper reporters, delegates to religious bodies and friendly societies, to judges attending shows, pupils attending technical schools ; inauguration of checked-luggage system; more liberal arrangements in respect to carriage of ordinary passengers luggage, commercial travellers' luggage, and theatrical companies' luggage ; reduction in rates for parcels, race-horses, hunters, polo ponies, hounds, milk, bicycles; abolition of the rate of Id. per mile for goods carried over branch lines and the extra rate charged on the Eimutaka Incline ; reduction in rent of private sidings; free carriage of lime for manuring farm lands; reduction in rate on returned racehorses and show stock, frozen meat, live-stock, firewood, grain, wool, chaff, lime, timber, fruit, butter, cheese, honey, ham, bacon, poultry, manures, cement, phosphorked pollard for destruction of rabbits, bricks, clay, coal, coke, New-__ealand-grown fruit, vegetables, nuts, green flax, onions, artificial manures, guano, manure salt, rock salt, linseed, beans, bran, native flax, flour, peas, sacks in bales and bundles, acids, tar, tussock-grass, bark, store sheep, material for manufacture of colonial earthenware, stone, stone piles, settlers' biscuits, sago, tapioca, weed-killer, steel, groats, patent fencing, circus material, furniture, baskets, sheep-dip, paper bags, and very many other articles of every-day use. In addition the train services of the colony have been largely added to at a cost of many thousands of pounds, and with a view to meeting the convenience of the general public. The condition of the railway-lines has been materially improved, large sums of money having been spent in the betterment of the lines, new rolling-stock, the equipping of the rolling-stock with automatic brake, the installation of safety appliances, improved accommodation at railway-stations, erecting of new stations, conversion of obsolete rolling-stock, the enlargement of workshops, erection of new workshops, and improvement of workshop machinery. Pintsch's gas system, which has been adopted for car-lighting, has been fitted to all the bogie cars and many of the bogie brake-vans on the principal sections. Second-class cars have been fitted with cushions, and a very large number of the cars with lavatory accommodation. The condition under which the railway men of the colony laboured has also received very careful consideration. It was found in 1895 that the pay of the employees was unsatisfactory and many grievances existed. The Government, having taken steps to inquire into the condition of the men and satisfied itself as to the position, prepared a classification scheme, which came into force in 1897. The passing of this Act conferred very material benefits on railway employees, and resulted in the then existing staff receiving during the first year the scale was in operation £5,500 more than they would have otherwise obtained, and this amount increased yearly. In 1897 an alteration was made in the Classification Act by which apprentices, crossing and bridge keepers, firemen, and carpenters received an increase of pay involving an additional expenditure of £6,230 on the Department. On the Ist January, 1899, all men in receipt of 6s. 6d. per day were given a special allowance of 6d. per day. The value of this concession will be recognised when I state that for the three months ending 31st March, 1899, £2,856 was paid to the men entitled to receive the additional 6d.; for the year ending 31st March, 1900, the amount so paid was £12,383; for the following year it reached £15,352 ; and for the year ending 31st March, 1902, £20,951. In four years, therefore, the Government granted to the low-paid men in the Second Division of the railway service no less a sum than £51,542 over and above the amount provided by the Classification Act of 1896.

During the session of 1901 the Government railway service was reclassified. The new Act came into operation on the Ist April, 1902, from which date the allowance of 6d. per day referred to above ceased, as under the new Classification Act all men who had previously been in receipt of 6s. 6d. per day had their pay permanently increased to 7s. per day. This new Classification Act still further improved the condition and pay of the railway men of the colony; the benefits accruing therefrom, on the basis of the staff as it existed on the 31st March, 1902, was estimated at £30,000 per annum. The minimum pay for cadets under the Commissioners' scale was £30 per annum; under the Government Eailways Department Classification Act it is £40 per annum, and £10 additional is allowed to engineering and drafting cadets. Junior platelayers, labourers, porters, and shunters were paid at a minimum rate of 3s. per day, with annual increases of 6d. per day to 6s. 6d., against the present minimum rate of 4s. per day, with annual increments of 6d. per day to 6s. and then an increase of Is. to 7s. per day, the result being that the greater portion of the men in the railway service who were labouring for a wage of 6s. 6d. per day when the Government took control, and could not get beyond that amount except by waiting for the vacancies, which were few and far between, now receive 7s. per day, with greatly improved chances of promotion. An alteration has recently been made in respect to the pay of casual hands employed in ballast gangs, special earthworks gangs, and casual labourers on the works staff. These men were formerly paid at the rate of 7s. per diem for time actually at work, but are now paid at the rate of Is. per hour for time worked. The alteration, therefore, has resulted in an increase of their wages by Is. per day for each full day worked, with a proportionate increase where broken time is involved. The value of the concession is approximately £8,500 per annum. An increase in the lodging-allowance of Is. per night has also been granted to guards and enginemen when absent from home on duty; and maintenancemen who have not hitherto been granted any allowance when absent from home and provided with sleeping-accommodation will in future be granted an allowance of Is. per night, and be provided with sleeping-accommodation as heretofore. Besides the concessions made in pay, members of the service have been granted many other substantial benefits in respect to hours of duty and other privileges. In addition to passing the Classification Acts, which apply to the permanent staff only, the Government in 1898, recognising that casual workers suffered considerable hardship in consequence of the stoppage of pay during the time they were incapacitated by injuries received in the ordinary course of employment by the Eailway Department, undertook the insurance of the men for the purpose of securing an allowance to them in the case of accidental injury, the premiums necessary to secure the allowance being paid by the Eailway Department. In 1903 the railway workmen were brought under the operation of the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act, and are still paid under that Act. In 1902 the Government Eailways Superannuation Fund Bill was passed. This beneficent measure enables the railway men to make provision for themselves in the case of sickness and old age, and for their wives and families in the event of death overtaking the breadwinner, and the manner in which the railway staff availed themselves of the provisions of the Act is conclusive proof of their appreciation of the superannuation scheme. Already a considerable number of old and tried servants have proved its value, as have likewise the widows and children of a number of others who have unfortunately passed away. The balance-sheet of the Superannuation Fund for the year just ended, submitted to the House by me on behalf of the Board of Administration, shows that the superannuation allowances paid during the year amounted to £14,933 10s., granted to 293 members of the railway service retired voluntarily or by reason of their being medically unfit; £1,484 os. lOd. was paid as allowances to widows and families of deceased members of the railway service; £806 17s. 7d. was refunded to members who left the railway service from various causes, and who were not entitled to superannuation at the time of their retirement. The balance to the credit of the Fund at the 31st March was £68,670 7s. Bd.

Appeal Boards were constituted under the Classification Act of 1895 for the purpose of enabling railway employees to have their grievances adjudicated tm by an independent tribunal. Two Boards were appointed—one for each Island. Originally the Board consisted of a Judge or a Stipendiary Magistrate and one member elected by the First and Second Divisions of the Eailway service respectively. In 1901, however, a request was made for an alteration, with a view to enabling sections of the Second Division to be represented on the Board, and this was given effect to under the Classification Act of 1901. It is doubtful, however, if the change is an improvement, and many of the men are in favour of a return to the original system. The functions of the Board being judicial, it follows that nothing is to be gained by varying the personnel of the Board when dealing with different appeals. Since their establishment the Boards have heard 110 appeals, of which twenty-three have been upheld and eighty-seven dismissed. The Government has under consideration the question of improving the position of the lower-grade men on the permanent staff of the railway. The question is, however, one of very considerable magnitude, and is moreover surrounded by many difficulties apart altogether from the financial aspect. To treat the permanent staff now in receipt of 7s. per day in the same manner as the casual ballast men would involve an expenditure of £50,000 per annum. The position of members of the various branches of the permanent staff varies considerably in regard to the opportunities for promotion. The great majority of the seven-shillings-per-day men in the Locomotive and Traffic Branches have many avenues of promotion open to them, consequently their promotion is rapid, and their cases do not require the same consideration as the men employed in the Maintenance Branch, where the opportunities of promotion are limited. For this reason, therefore, lam of opinion that it would be proper and prudent to confine any alteration in the rate of pay to the lower-paid men in the Maintenance Branch. To give an increase of Is. per day to such men would involve an additional expenditure of £20,000 per annum. Data is being obtained in connection with a proposal for shortening the hours of enginemen, firemen, and guards. The adoption of a forty-eight hours week for such men would be very costly, involving an annual increase in the expenditure of at least £14,000. Apropos of this matter, it may be mentioned that recently instructions were given to shorten the maximum daily time trainmen were called upon to work when running certain trains, but as soon as the arrangements were brought into operation a considerable number of the men requested to be allowed to revert to the old system which has been in operation for many years. Sleepers have been respaced on about 1,200 miles of line, and many of the bridges strengthened. New steel viaducts have been erected at Kopua, Makotuku, Piri Piri, and Mangatera. During the five years ending 31st March, 1900, 225 miles were relaid with 531b. and 561b. rails, and during the corresponding period ending 31st March, 1905, 110 miles of track were relaid with 53 lb. and 56 lb. rails, and 228 miles with the 70 lb. rail, adopted as the standard for all main lines in 1900. The total relaying done during the ten years 1895-1905 was. therefore 563 miles —335 miles with 531b. and 561b. rails, and the balance with 701b. rails. With a view to increasing the durability of New Zealand timber used for sleepering the railway-lines, a creosoting plant was imported and erected at Woodville during the year ending 31st March, 1903; a similar plant also commenced operations in the Invercargill district at the same time; and up to date have treated a large number of sleepers. Sufficient time has not, however, elapsed to enable the result of creosoting New Zealand timbers being ascertained, but there are good reasons for supposing that the process will result satisfactorily. Additional facilities have been afforded at flag stations by the appointment of caretakers and tablet-men. The appointment of caretakers has been made at such stations as the business warrants, tablet-men being, of course, appointed to such stations as are fitted from time to time with the tablet instruments.

XII

D.—2

Altogether 146 tablet-men and caretakers were employed at 31st March last, and this number is being increased from time to time with the extension of the tablet working. The Midland Eailway was taken over by the Government on 23rd July, 1900. The rates charged by the company for conveyance of traffic over the lines were immediately abolished and the Government scale brought into operation. This course resulted in material reduction in charges for carriage of passengers and goods. The train services were also improved, and have been added to as business warranted. Considerable benefits have been conferred on the district by the taking over of these lines. The purchase of the Wakatipu steamers by the colony and the reduction made in passenger and goods rates has had a beneficial effect, the cheap weekend excursions having been the means of bringing the scenic beauties and health-giving properties of the district prominently before the public. During the time the railways have been under the Government control they have had to deal with the unprecedented demands of traffic made in connection with the visit to the colony of their Eoyal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales (then Duke and Duchess of York), the Indian Contingent, and the departure from our shores of the New Zealand Contingents for South Africa ; and it was gratifying to find that, in addition to carrying on the ordinary business of the colony, they proved in every instance equal to the heavy demands of the extraordinary traffic in connection with the unique events alluded to. With a view to relieving the congestion of the cities and enabling the workers to live under more healthful conditions, workers' cheap tickets were introduced on all the Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin suburban lines. They are available for one outward and one homeward trip per day, and for use by trains arriving at destination before 8 a.m., and are charged at a uniform rate of 2s. per week for distances up to ten miles. The tickets are largely availed of, and are much ■ appreciated by the workers, in whose interests they were introduced. The expansion of business on the Eimutaka Incline has rendered an increase in engine-power imperative. Two of the New Zealand built goodsengines, class B, have been converted to class We, and, together with one class W engine, placed on the Incline, and have proved an unqualified success, and arrangements have been made to build all the engines required for the Incline in the New Zealand workshops instead of importing additional Fell engines. The new engines will be compound double-ender tank engines. Goods and passenger traffic has been separated wherever the business was sufficient to justify such a step being taken, and the practice will be extended from time to time, as circumstances warrant. The adoption of motor cars for use on our railways has been engaging attention for some time past. The experiments which have been made in other countries have been closely followed, and as it is evident that motors have now passed the experimental stage, I have decided to have cars built in the colony for trial on the suburban lines. Advantage has been taken of the visit of the General Manager of Eailways to America and Europe to ascertain what class of motor has been found to be most satisfactory and economical in actual working, and at the same time likely to prove most suitable to our lines. It has also been decided to build a number of powerful four-cylinder balanced compound engines for use on the passenger- and goods-train. These engines will have a greater tractive-power than any of the existing types, and will be a valuable acquisition to the rolling-stock. Designs are also being prepared for heavy goods-engines to be used on the heavy-graded portion of the North Island Main Trunk Eailway, and it is intended to make a commencement with the construction of these engines at an early date, in order that they may be completed in readiness for the opening of the line. The dining-cars which were placed on the Auckland-Eotorua express trains in December, 1903, have continued to give satisfaction to the public, and as a result of the experiment tried in connection with the catering on that line it was

iii.—D. 2.

XIII

D.—2

arranged for the Department to take over the catering of the refreshment-cars run between New Plymouth and Wellington, and Christchurch and Dunedin, as from Ist April last. The alteration is one which has been highly appreciated by the travelling public, and many eulogistic references have been made regarding the improvement in the catering and cuisine. I hope to extend this convenience to other portions of the railway system as occasion warrants. It has been decided to discontinue the issue of licenses for the sale of alcoholic liquors at railway refreshment-rooms, and in the leases entered into on the Ist April last this was done. Arrangements have been made for the inauguration of a system of numbering the seats in carriages, with a view to enabling passengers to reserve seats on presentation of their tickets. This will meet a long-felt want, and tend greatly to the comfort of long-distance passengers particularly, who will appreciate being able to leave their seats for a short space without the fear of finding them in the possession of other persons on their return. Notwithstanding the opinions which have been expressed to the contrary, I feel confident that indications point to the fact that the buoyancy which has marked the business of the colony during the past ten years will again continue during- the next financial year. I estimate the railway revenue for the year ending 31st March, 1906, at £2,240,000, and the expenditure at £1,520,000. I am pleased to state that the conduct of the staff has been uniformly satisfactory, and that the onerous duties they are called upon to perform have been cheerfully and successfully carried out. The usual reports are attached hereto.

ANNUAL EEPOET OF THE GENEEAL MANAGEE OF NEW ZEALAND GOVEENMENT EAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Eailways, Head Office, Sic,— Wellington, June, 1905. I have the honour to report upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended the 31st March, 1905 :— The capital cost has increased from £20,692,911 to £21,701,572. The revenue for the year was £2,209,231, against £2,180,641 last year—an increase of £28,590. The net revenue was £716,331, against £741,917 last year. The expenditure was £1,492,900, against £1,438,724—an increase of £54,176. The rate of interest earned on capital was £3 65., as compared with £3 lis. Bd. last year. The revenue per train mile was 7s. 2Jd. and the cost per train mile 4s. 10Jd., as against 7s. 7fd. and ss. Ofd. respectively last year. The following extensions have been opened during the year:— M. oh. Mangaweka-Taihape ... ... ... ... ... ... 12 76 Toko-Oruru ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 4 65 Owaka-Catlin's ... ... ... ... ... ... 3 37 Ida Valley-Omakau ... ... ... ... ... ... 13 22 Greymouth-State Collieries ... ... ... ... ... 4 79 45 56 The total mileage added to the system during the year under review was thus 45 miles 56 chains, making the total mileage open for traffic on 31sfc March 2,374 miles, as against 2,328 miles at the close of the previous year. 8,514,112 ordinary passengers were carried, yielding a revenue of £680,905, and 140,453 season tickets, yielding a revenue of £57,252, were issued during the year, being an increase of 207,729 ordinary passengers and £28,825 revenue, and 10,534 season tickets and £4,672 revenue, over the traffic under these heads for the previous year. 60,101 children and teachers and 53,558 adults travelled by school and factory excursions, yielding a revenue of £7,490 —an increase of 1,976 passengers and £66 revenue over the preceding year. 693,453 passengers travelled at holiday-excursion rates, the value of the fares being £130,069 — a decrease of 1,931 passengers, but an increase in revenue of £4,445. The coaching traffic has been well maintained during the year, but there is a falling-off in the goods traffic. Increases. Coaching. —Parcels, 26,668 ; horses, 1,022; carriages, 172 ; dogs, 1,776. Eevenue, £4,900. Goods. —Cattle, 3,489 ; pigs, 7,500 ; wool, 6,310 tons ; firewood, 3,108 tons ; minerals, 62,037 tons. Decreases. Goods.— Sheep, 343,394 ; chaff, lime, &c, 848 tons ; timber, 16,385 tons ; grain, 87,973 tons; merchandise, 27,312 tons. Eevenue, £9,807. Large additions were made to the train services during the year, the most important of which were the duplication of the expresses between Christchurch and Invercargill, with a view to improving the facilities for travel between the North and Middle Islands. Coincident with the inauguration of this improved service in the Middle Island the mail-trains between Wellington and New Plymouth were accelerated, a considerable saving of time being thus effected in respect to the journey between Wellington and New Plymouth. Local train services have been recast and added to throughout the colony wherever the circumstances necessitated. The extent of the facilities afforded is seen by the addition to the train mileage during the year, which totalled 421,680 miles more than for the preceding year. Satisfactory progress continues to be made with the equipping of rolling-stock on the HurunuiBluff Section with the Westinghouse brake, and it is anticipated that the contract will be completed within the next financial year. Messrs. Price Bros., Thames, who entered into a contract for the building of ten locomotives of the Wp class have already delivered seven of the engines, and it is very gratifying to have to report that the engines have given entire satisfaction, and reflect great credit on the contractors. The balance of the engines (three) will be completed and handed over within the contract time. Seven engines, 55 carriages, 11 brake-vans, and 445 wagons were built in the railway workshops and added to the stock during the year; and on the 31st March last eight engines, 71 carriages, 13 brake-vans, and 132 bogie and 392 four-wheeled wagons were under construction in the railway workshops. Steady progress is being made in interlocking points and signals, installation of electric tablet, and improvement of railway telegraph and telephone facilities, all of which tend greatly to increase the safety of railway-working.

Maintenance. Mr. J. Coom, Chief Engineer, reports as follows :— Permanent-way. —Generally the track has been maintained in good condition. Ninety miles of line have been relaid with 70 lb. steel rails, and five miles of branch line relaid with the second-hand rails taken out of main lines. The rate of relaying for the year was satisfactory. During the year 331,910 sleepers were laid, of which 31,929 were imported hardwood, the balance being of native timbers. The total quantity was some 20,000 below the number used in the previous year, but the expenditure was £2,146 higher, owing to the larger stock carried over from the preceding year. The expenditure on track-renewals was nearly £5,000 less than for the previous year, mainly due to the carrying-forward of a balance of rails which were in hand on the Ist April, 1904. Slips and Floods. —No slips or floods of any consequence occurred during the year. The line to suffer most was the Kaihu, in the North, but the amount of damage done was comparatively small. Some slips took place on the newly opened North Island Main Trunk Eailway. The subsidence of a portion of the Waitangi Tunnel, North of Auckland, has necessitated considerable expenditure in repairs in order to keep the line fit for traffic. Ballasting. —It may be found necessary in the near future to make provision for more extended ballasting of the tracks Bridges. —Bridges have been maintained in a good and safe condition. The usual amount of strengthening and renewals has been carried out, and some £8,000 more than in the previous year has been spent on repairs and renewals. In the Wellington-Napier District the renewal of the Ormondville Viaduct has been commenced, and in the Invercargill District large expenditure has been incurred on new bridges and deviation of line at Eiverton. Water Service. —Several minor improvements to water services have been carried out during the year. Wharves. —Considerable alterations have been made to the George Street Pier at Port Chalmers.

The usual returns are attached. Traffic. Mr. H. Buxton, Chief Traffic Manager, reports as follows: — Hurunui-Bluff Section. From this section the revenue was £1,062,625, a decrease of £26,300. The passenger business yielded £347,550, an increase of £13,284. The number of passengers was 3,912,505, an increase of 54,418. The number of season tickets was 63,249, a decrease of 628.

Wool increased by 5,782 tons, and minerals by 14,287 tons. The train-mileage was 2,849,898, as compared with 2,694,182 for the previous year. The Canterbury District contributed to the revenue £476,349, a considerable drop as compared with last year. The passenger and parcels business was satisfactory, but in the goods traffic there were large decreases in sheep, chaff, timber, grain, and frozen meat. The Otago District contributed £359,697, about the same as last year. Excepting a slight falling off in the suburban passenger traffic in the immediate vicinity of Dunedin, the passenger and parcels business was satisfactory, the revenue therefrom being in excess of last year. The goods business fell off, chiefly in grain and merchandise. The receipts from the Southland District were £226,579, an increase of about £2,000. Passenger and parcels traffic show a large increase, but, as in Canterbury and Otago, the goods business shows a drop, particularly in live-stock (cattle and sheep) and timber. Chaff,*" grain, and minerals show substantial increases. Lake Wakatipu Steamer Service. From this service the receipts fell short of last year by £1,100. Both passenger and goods traffic show a decline, which is mainly due to a diversion of traffic to the Otago Central line since the opening of the extension to Omakau. The week-end excursions to Queenstown have also declined considerably.

In both districts the passenger and parcels traffic was largely in excess of last year, and both equally shpw the falling-off in sheep and merchandise. The extension of the North Island Main Trunk Eailway has increased the timber traffic in the Wanganui district, but the output from the Wellington-Napier mills fell off considerably. The New Plymouth Exhibition caused considerable additional excursion traffic locally. Auckland Section. From this section the revenue was £299,023, an increase of £25,403. The suburban passenger business shows a falling-off, but otherwise both passenger and goods traffic give satisfactory results. The receipts from passenger traffic increased by £5,325, from parcels and luggage by £2,547, and from goods and live-stock by £17,531. The number of passengers carried was 1,170,428, and the goods and live-stock tonnage was 394,283 tons ; and, excepting chaff, wool, and timber, all classes of goods traffic show large increases. The coal traffic particularly shows great expansion. The rapid expansion of the dairy industry in this district is indicated by the following figures :— Quantity of Cream and Butter oareied by Eail for the Years 1902 to 1905. Gallons Cream. Tons Butter. Tons exported trom Onehunga. 1905 .. .. .. .. 490,092 6,808 3,181 1904 .. .. .. .. 431,410 5,100 2,700 1903 .. .. .. .. 400,309 4,351 1,969 1902 .. .. .. .. 360,502 3,550 1,434 The train-mileage was 864,107, as compared with 836,876 for the previous year.
