RAILWAYS STATEMENT (1st August, 1906). BY THE MINISTER FOR RAILWAYS, THE HON. SIR J. G. WARD, K.C.M.G.

Mr. Speaker,— The presentation of this my seventh Railways Statement affords me very great pleasure, inasmuch as it imposes the pleasing duty of having to announce that the result of the operations for the year ending the 31st March, 1906, has been most satisfactory; and, notwithstanding the liberality of the forecast made at the end of the previous year, the actual earnings have exceeded the estimate by £109,704. The result may be summarised thus:— Y ear 1906. Year 1905. g""-* £ £ Total earnings .. .. .. .. .. 27*349,704 2,209,231 Total expenditure .. .. ... .. 1,621,239 1,492,900 Net profit on working .. ..' .. .. £728,465 £716,331 GENEKAL. The mileage of line open for traffic on the 31st March, 1906, was 2,406 miles, as against 2,374 miles for the previous year. The average miles operated during the year was 2,391. The following extensions were opened : — m. ck Kaiteratahi - Te Karaka .. .. .. .. ..55 Ahuroa - Kaipara Flats .. .. .. .. 5 46 Scargill-Ethelton .. .. .. .. .. 8 52 Paeroa-Waihi .. .. .. .. .. .. 12 24 Total .. .. .. .. .. .. 31 47 The capital cost of lines open for traffic, including plant and steamers on Lake Wakatipu, has increased from £21,701,572 last year to £22,498,972 for the year under review. The net revenue, £728,465, is equal to a return of 3*24 per cent, on the capital invested on the open lines, and 3*02 per cent, on the total capital of £24,092,085 invested in opened and unopened lines. The Kawakawa Section is the only section that has failed to pay workingexpenses, the deficit being £1,239. The number of train miles run during the year was 6,413,573, being an increase of 306,494. The increased train mileage represents additional facilities to meet the requirements of the business, and has cost over £75,000. The permanent increase to the train-service represents 30,838 miles per annum. The following figures, which give the record of the late arrivals of the principal trains during the year, indicate that the train-services have maintained punctuality. Average Late Arrival. Mina.

The total number of ordinary passengers carried was 8,826,382, an increase of 312,270 over the previous year. Season tickets numbered 147,989, an increase of 7,536. The number of workers' twelve-trip tickets was 38,029, and of workers' weekly tickets available on suburban lines 77,556. These tickets continue to maintain their popularity, and the steady increase in the issue points to the fact that the workers for whose benefit they were introduced are forsaking in greater numbers the overpopulated city areas and making homes in the suburbs where more healthful conditions prevail. Holiday-excursion tickets issued numbered 737,675, an increase of 44,222 over the previous year. School, factory, and friendly societies' excursion tickets numbered 120,220, an increase of 6,561. The number of school, factory, and friendly societies' excursions run in the principal districts was —Auckland, 24 ; Wanganui, 54; Wellington-Napier, 50 ; Christchurch, 161 ; Dunedin, 90 ; Invercargill, 39. The coaching and goods traffic show large increases under each of the various headings under which the traffic is grouped, sheep, firewood, and merchandise excepted. In coaching traffic the increases have been—parcels, 66,569 ; horses, 1,357 ; carriages, 148 ; dogs, 1,505 : and in " Live-stock and goods traffic " —cattle, 8,387 head ; pigs, 14,934 head ; chaff, lime, &c, 13,170 tons ; wool, 8,462 tons ; timber, 41,206 tons ; grain, 39,778 tons ; minerals, 132,188 tons. The decrease in the firewood carried is 2,664 tons, merchandise, 2,230 tons, and sheep, 64,299 head. The decrease in the merchandise traffic is attributable to the increasing number of Home boats which now proceed direct to Dunedin instead of discharging all or part of their cargoes at Port Chalmers, and the consequent diversion of shipping traffic from Port Chalmers to Dunedin. The decrease in sheep traffic is traceable to the mortality among the flocks in Otago and Canterbury during the severe winter of 1902, and to the depletion of flocks by over-export of ewe lambs during the years 1902 and 1903. There are, however, indications of a return to a more satisfactory condition of affairs in regard to sheep, the high prices of wool acting as an incentive to farmers to increase their flocks instead of selling for freezing. The average number of men employed was 9,795, against 9,361, an increase of 434. During the year 166 members of the permanent staff resigned, 70 retired on superannuation, 33 died, 62 were dismissed, and 658 engaged. Six appeals against decisions of the Department were heard by the Railway Appeal Boards, all of which were disallowed. Twenty-three members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division during the year. • The sum of £4,833 has been paid as compensation and compassionate allowance to members retired from the service and to relatives of members deceased. This sum includes £4,603 paid under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act. Steady progress continues to be made in the Eailway workshops in the matter of building rolling-stock for the equipment of the lines of the colony, and profitable employment is thus found for a large number of artisans. During the year 5 new locomotives, 42 47J ft. bogie cars, 10 bogie brake-vans, and 238 wagons were built in the Railway workshops for the Working Railways in addition to 45 wagons for use by Public Works Department in railway-construction work. The additions thus made to the plant during the year have increased the tractive power by 3*Bl per cent., passenger seating accommodation by 7*04 percent., wagon carrying capacity by 3*54 per cent. On the 31st March there were 13 locomotives, 91 bogie passenger-carriages, 18 bogie brake-vans, 143 bogie and 508 four-wheeled wagons under construction in the workshops of the colony. Ninety-two miles of main line were relaid with 70 lb. steel rails, and twenty miles of branch line were relaid with second-hand 53 lb. and 56 lb. steel rails taken out of main line. EEVENUE. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £2,349,704, and exceeded the estimate by £109,704, and the gross revenue for the preceding year by £140,473. The net revenue, £728,465, was £12,134 in excess of that for the preceding year.

Passenger revenue shows an increase of £42,961, season tickets £5,754, coaching traffic £27,591, goods and live-stock £68,062 ; while miscellaneous and rents have decreased by £3,895. The receipts per train mile amounted to 87"75, as against 86*50 for the previous year. The earnings of the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £5,986, against £5,896 for last year. The net revenue was equal to a return of 4 - 62 per cent, on the capital cost. EXPENDITURE. The total expenditure amounted to £1,621,239, including £5,227 incurred in connection with the Lake Wakatipu steamers, being an increase of £128,339 over the previous year. The expenditure for working has absorbed 69 per cent, of the revenue, as against 6758 for the previous year. Expenditure.

The increased expenditure has been incurred on the Kawakawa Section, £762 ; Whangarei, £336 ; Auckand, £10,704; Gisborne, £514; Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth, £17,204; HurunuiBluff, £6,977; Westland, £1,815; Nelson, £1,158. The cost of maintenance has decreased on the Kaihu Section £172, Westport £348, Picton £879. Additions and improvements to lines and structures costing £12,235, which might fairly have been debited to capital, have been made during the year and charged to working-expenses. The increased expenditure in the Traffic Branch is due to the additional train mileage consequent on improved train-services and extra staff to meet requirements of the expanding business and for working interlocking-signalling and electric-tablet systems, cost of catering on the dining-cars previously run by contractors, the increase of wages and allowances to members of the Second Division, and the general increase of traffic. In the Locomotive Branch the increase is due to extra train mileage, heavy renewals and repairs, increased consumption of coal, and increases in wages and allowances to the members of Division 11. The increase in the cost of management is mainly incidental to the scale increases of salaries of the staff under the Classification Act. The sum of £353,025 was expended under the head " Additions to Open Lines," and charged to Capital Account. Of this amount £264,230 was expended on rollingstock, tarpaulins, Westinghouse brake, and workshop machinery; the rolling-stock comprises 8 locomotives, 39 carriages, 9 brake-vans, 238 wagons, and 110 tarpaulins completed on the 31st March last; and 21 locomotives, 130 carriages, 22 brake-vans, 882 wagons, and 610 tarpaulins incomplete, but in hand on that date; and £88,795 on tablet and interlocking extension, signals, telegraph and telephone facilities, wharves, bridges, land, electric lighting, sidings, dwellings, station buildings, fencing, junction for Waihi Railway and reclamation of Mechanics' Bay, Auckland. DUPLICATION OF LINES. On duplication-works the following sums were charged to Capital Account under the provisions of the special Acts relating thereto passed in 1903, 1904, and 1905 respectively, viz. :— £ Wellington - Hutt duplication-works .. .. .. .. .. 44,864 Auckland-Penrose and Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication-works .. .. 11,848

CONCLUDING REMAKES AND FORECAST. In my last year's Statement I alluded to the position of the lower-grade members of the railway staff, and intimated that the question of making some alteration in respect to such members was under consideration. After mature deliberation the Government decided to include in the supplementary estimates placed before Parliament during the session of 1905 an amount sufficient to enable an allowance of Is. per day being paid to men in receipt of 7s. per day, and 6d. per day to other men. The allowances apply to all members except tradesmen, enginemen, firemen, guards, and signalmen in receipt of Bs. per day and over. It was also decided at the same time to reduce the hours of locomotive enginemen, firemen, guards, and signalmen from fifty-four to forty-eight per week of six days, such alteration to take effect from the Ist April, 1906. The cost of these concessions on the basis of the staff existing on the Ist November, 1905, was approximately £65,000 per annum, and it will, of course, increase proportionately with the growth of the staff. In view, however, of the enhanced cost of living and labour-conditions generally, I feel assured that the concessions made to the Railway staff are fully justified, and are, further, of a character to commend themselves to every one. The duplication of the Auckland-Penrose and the Dunedin-Mosgiel lines has been put in hand. Surveys for the duplication of the Addington-Rolleston line are nearly complete, and the actual construction of the duplication will be gone on with as soon as the data are available. The Lower Hutt - Wellington line has been duplicated and opened for traffic from Lower Hutt to Rocky Point, a distance of about three miles, and the new station-yards at Lower Hutt and Petone have been completed. Owing, however, to unforeseen circumstances the contractor has up to the present been unable to deliver the stone required for facing fast enough to keep pace with the work, and progress has been very much impeded in consequence. The matter has, however, been receiving attention, and the contractor, having now opened out a second quarry from which suitable stone is obtainable, anticipates being able to deliver regularly the full quantity specified under the contract, and is also hopeful of making up arrears. With a view to further facilitating the progress of the work, the Department has arranged to obtain a quantity of suitable stone from Paekakariki. The approach to Wanganui Station has been materially improved by the deviation of the Aramoho - Wanganui Branch line for a distance of approximately threequarters of a mile, which was put in hand and completed during the year. It has also been decided to make an alteration in the railway approach to New Plymouth. Surveys have been completed, and it is intended to put the actual construction-work in hand as soon as the plans are available. Good progress continues to be made in the matter of equipping the lines with safety appliances. During the year the signalling and interlocking system was brought into use at Woodville, Lower Hutt, Petone, Petone Junction, Rocky Point, Longburn, Te Aro, Heathcote, Chri?tchurch (south end), and at Lincoln Road and Riccarton Road tramway crossings, and a commencement was made in installing similar appliances at Christchurch (north end), Lyttelton, Dunedin, and Upper Hutt. Tyre's electric train-signalling tablet instruments were installed between Hawera and New Plymouth, Awapuni to Racecourse, Mercer to Frankton, and Prankton to Morrinsville, and also at Kaiwarra, Pitcaithly's, Silverstream, and Trentham Stations. These installations cover a distance of ninety miles, and comprise ninetytwo instruments. Considerable extensions of the system in hand are being pushed on as quickly as possible. New stations were erected and brought into use at Longburn, Temuka, Seacliff, Petone, Lower Hutt, and Gore, the latter to replace the station that had been destroyed by fire. The new Dunedin Station is approaching completion, and will be ready for occupation very shortly. It will supply much-needed facilities for the transaction of public business. The contract for equipping the rolling-stock of the Hurunui-Bluff Section with the Westinghouse brake was completed in December last, four months before the expiration of the contract time. All the vehicles on the Auckland, Wellington - Napier - New Plymouth and Hurunui-Bluff Sections are now equipped, and by arrangement made with the Westinghouse Brake Company all new rolling-stock built for these sections will be equipped with the brake m the Railway Workshops,.

D.—2

four-cylinder balanced compound engine, Class A, was built in the Addington Workshops, and one Class E Mallet articulated compound tank-engine at Petone, during the year. The former is for use in working passenger and goods trains on the Hurunui-Bluff Section, and the latter for use on the Rimutaka Incline. Both engines have been undergoing severe practical trials, and have fully demonstrated their entire suitability for the requirements of our railways. The A compound has been tested on the heavy grades of the Dunedin Section against the Baldwin Class Q, the most powerful type of locomotive previously in use on New Zealand railways. Under favourable circumstances and on a dry rail the two engines (A and Q) hauled an equal load, but under adverse conditions and on a wet rail the A easily outclassed the Q, for whereas the load taken by the Q on the wet rail was only about 66 per cent, of that hauled on a dry rail, the A was found to be unaffected by the condition of the rail, and was able to haul the same load as on a dry rail. The A further proved to be most economical in respect to both fuel and water, two very important items in everyday working. The trials have shown that a single A engine will be able to take on the express between Dunedin-Oamaru, a load that would frequently require the use of two Class Q engines. The E class was tried between Upper Hutt and Summit, and readily hauled a load of forty-five vehicles. Two Wp powerful double-ender tank engines would be required to haul a similar load between the same points. The Eis now working on the Rimutaka Incline, up which it has hauled a load of 100 tons, which is 35 per cent, greater load than can be taken by a Fell engine. I allude thus fully to this subject in order to remove any wrong impression that may have been created by the criticisms of the engines by irresponsible writers to the public Press. The last three of the locomotives due under the contract of Messrs. A. and G. Price, Thames, were delivered during the year well within contract time. These engines as well as the seven previously built and delivered by the same firm have been in every respect satisfactory. The system of numbering seats in carriages referred to in my last year's Statement has been introduced on the mail and express trains on the Hurunui-Bluff Section. It has not yet been availed of to any extent. I am, however, of opinion that as passengers become acquainted with the system and recognise its advantages it will come greatly into use. On the 24th June a heavy flood occurred in the Waimakariri River, which overflowed its banks and saturated the railway-embankment at Chaney's, which gave way as a train was passing over it, causing a bad derailment, and, I regret to say, the death of two passengers, and injury to nine others. As intimated in my last year's Statement, the question of using motor-cars on our lines has been receiving considerable attention, and, as a result of observations made and information obtained by the General Manager of Railways during his visit to America and Europe last year, it has been decided that the most suitable method of working such a service is by a small locomotive with a combination car and van attached. This system has been adopted on several of the principal railways in England, and is found to possess many advantages over the self-propelling motor-car, and is being adopted by lines which at the outset had favoured and even gone to the expense of running self-propelling motor-cars. In order to give the system a trial a car 60 ft. in length, having accommodation for twenty-four first-class and fortyeight second-class passengers, in addition to a compartment for guard, parcels, and luggage, has been built at Petone Workshops. Should the service prove successful it will be extended from time to time as circumstances warrant. In view of the complaints that are made regarding shortage of rolling-stock, and the statements that the lines are not so well equipped in this respect as they were in 1890, I have had the matter looked into, and append a statement showing the position in 1890 and to-day, from which it will be seen that a very material improvement has taken place.

Comparison of Tonnage and Wagons, 1890-1906.

This statement shows that the average load per truck is exceedingly small, due to the length of time the bulk of the trucks are allowed by consignees to remain under load; it also shows that the rolling-stock has increased at a greater rate than the traffic, the figures being—traffic increase, 105 per cent.; rolling-stock capacity increase, 111 per cent.: difference in favour of rolling-stock, 6 per cent. The report and balance-sheet of the Government "Railways Superannuation Fund for the year just ended shows that the fund is making satisfactory progress. On the 31st March, 1903, the accumulated fund amounted to £7,056 11s. 9d. In 1904 it was £40,357 17s. 3d. In 1905, £68,670 7s. Bd., and at the 31st March, 1906, it stood at £90,984 11s. 10d. The allowances paid during the year amounted to £21,521 10s. Id., representing grants to 525 persons. £422 4s. 3d. was paid to legal representatives of deceased members, and £1,830 18s. 6d. refunded to contributors who left the service voluntarily or otherwise. The annual liability of the fund at the 31st March last was £25,462 Is. 10d.

In view of the increased settlement going on in our midst, the commercial activity and general prosperity of the community, I am confident that the traffic during the financial year now entered upon will be equally as satisfactory as in previous years, and therefore estimate the revenue for the year ending the 31st March, 1907, at £2,450,000 and the expenditure at £1,750,000. Owing to the lamentable death of the Right Hon. R. J. Seddon, Premier of the colony, and the assumption by me of the office held by him, necessitating my relinquishing the portfolio of Minister for Railways, this will be the last Railway Statement I shall have the honour of placing before the House. I look back with much pleasure to the seven years I have held the responsible position of Ministerial head of this great Departmentjof State. Few people, if indeed any, will take exception to my saying that within that period great development and improvements in the service, both to the public and the staff, have been effected. I take this opportunity of putting on record my appreciation of the loyal and capable assistance I have at all times received at the hands of the General Manager, Mr. T. Ronayne, and his responsible officers. I desire also to thank the members of all grades of the railway service for the assiduity displayed in the discharge of their onerous duties and for their uniformly good conduct.

ANNUAL EBPOBT OP THE GEMEEAL MANAGEE OF NEW ZEALAND GOVEENMENT EAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Kailways, Head Office, Sib,— Wellington, July, 1906. I have the honour to report upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended the 31st March, 1906 : — The capital cost has increased from £21,701,572 to £22,498,972. The revenue was £2,349,704, against £2,209,231 —an increase of £140,473. The net revenue was £728,465, as against £716,331 last year—an increase of £12,134. The expenditure for the year under review has been £1,621,239, against £1,492,900 —an increase of £128,339. The expenditure per cent, of revenue was 6900, as compared with 67-58 last year. The rate of interest on capital was £3 4s. 9d., as compared with £3 6s. last year. The revenue per train-mile was 7s. 3fd., and the cost per train-mile ss.

The following extensions have been opened during the year:— M. oh, Kaiteratabi-Te Karaka ... ... ... ... ... 5 5 Ahuroa-Kaipara Flats ... ... ... ... ... ... 5 46 Scargill-Ethelton ... ... ... ... ... ... 8 52 Paeroa-Waihi ... ... ... ... ... ... 12 24 31 47 The total mileage added to bhe system during the year under review was thus 31 miles 47 chains, making the total mileage open for traffic on the 31st March 2,406 miles, as against 2,374 miles at the close of the previous year. During the year 8,826,382 ordinary passengers were carried, yielding a revenue of £723,867, and 147,989 season tickets were issued, the revenue derived therefrom being £63,006, beirg an increase of 312,270 ordinary passengers and £42,961 revenue, and 7,536 season tickets and £5,753 revenue over the traffic under these heads in the previous year. 63,193 children and teachers and 57,027 adults travelled by school and factory excursions during'the year, the revenue derived therefrom being £7,883 —an increase of 3,092 children and teachers, 3,469 adults, and £392 revenue over the preceding year. 737,675 passengers travelled at holiday excursion fares, yielding a revenue of £140,940 —an increase of 44,222 excursionists and £10,871 revenue, as compared with last year. The coaching and goods traffic has been well maintained during the year, the aggregate of both classes of business showing substantial increases on the previous year's traffic, notwithstanding the faliing-off recorded in firewood, merchandise, and sheep. Increases. Coaching. —Parcels, 66,569; horses, 1,357 ; carriages, 148 ; dogs, 1,505. Eevenue, £27,592. Goods. —Cattle, 4,665 ; calves, 3,722 ; pigs, 14,934 head ; chaff, lime, &c, 13.17 X) tons ; wool, 8,462 tons ; timber, 41,206 tons ; grain, 39,7/8 tons ; minerals, 132,188 tons. Eevenue, £64,167. Total increase in goods and live-stock tonnage, 229,698 tons. Decreases. Firewood, 2,664 tons ; merchandise, 2,230 tons ; and 64,299 sheep. Several additions were made to the train service during the year, the most important of which was the provision of an extra train between Woodville and Masterton to give an improved connection between the Wairarapa, Palmerston North, and Dannevirke ; an extra train was also run during the summer months between Hastings and Waipukurau. A tri-weekly passenger service in lieu of the previous mixed-train service has been inaugurated between Frankton Junction and Taumarunui, at which places the Wanganui Eiver steamers connect, and with a view to facilitating through travel the journey-time on the days this service runs has been considerably reduced. The experiment of running a Sunday service between Auckland and Otahuhu and a daily service between Waimate and Waiho Downs was made during the year. Both services, however, proved unremunerative and were consequently discontinued. The permanent increase to the train service represents 30,838 miles per annum, at a cost of over £7,700. The contract for fitting the rolling-stock on the Hurunui-Bluff Section with the Westinghouse brake has been completed, and all engines and rolling-stock on the Auckland, Welling-ton-Napier-New Plymouth and Hurunui-Bluff Sections are now equipped with this brake. Messrs. A. and G. Price, of Thames, completed their contract to build ten Class Wf tank locomotives. The engines have been exhaustively tried, and have given general satisfaction. The following rolling-stock was built in the Bailway Workshops during the year:— For the Working Eailways, 5 engines, 42 bogie carriages, 10 bogie brake-vans, 238 wagons. For the Public Works Department, 45 wagons for railway-construction purposes. On the 31st March 13 engines, 91 bogie cars, 18 bogie brake-vans, 143 bogie and 508 fourwheeled wagons were under construction in the Eailway Workshops of the colony. The Government having done me the honour of appointing me as its representative at the International Eailway Congress, I left Auckland for Washington, D.C., United States of America, on the 22nd March, 1905, joining the Vancouver boat at Suva. During my journey through Canada and the United States I received every courtesy, and was afforded exceptional facilities for

inspecting all the important workshops, depots, and stations connected with the leading railway systems, and obtained much valuable information as to the methods adopted in dealing with all branches of railway-work. The International Conference opened on the 4th May and concluded its labours on the 13th May. The Conference was strikingly international in character. It was attended by the representatives of every important railway system in the world, and is an invaluable means by which railway experts can personally exchange views and acquire first-hand and reliable information on the many subjects connected with every-day railway-working. After the conclusion of the Conference I visited the United Kingdom and the Continent, observing closely the methods adoped in the different countries and by various railway systems in dealing with every-day railway business. I arrived back in Wellington on the 31st August, 1905. As a result of my observations, I am satisfied that, having regard to the circumstances and conditions of the colony, the New Zealand railways compare most favourably with the systems in operation in any of the countries I visited. A full report concerning the deliberations of the International Eailway Congress and the results of my observations of various railway methods has already been submitted to you. Maintenance. Mr. J. Coom, Chief Engineer, reports as follows :— Permanent-way. —The track has been well maintained, and at present is in thoroughly good condition. Ninety-two miles of the main line have been relaid with 701b. steel rails, and the second-hand rails, mostly 531b. steel, taken out of the main line have been used in relaying 301b. and 401b. track on the branches. The rate of relaying for the year forms a record for the colony. 336,424 new sleepers have been laid: 26,732 were imported hardwood sleepers used mainly on curves, turnouts, and crossings; the balance, 309,692, were of native timber, of which 90,342 were creosoted. The cost of track renewals this year is high, due to the length relaid, the higher cost of rails, and increase in wages. Slips and Floods. —During the year some slips have occurred on the Otago Central and on the North Island Main Trunk lines, but there has been nothing of serious moment. Ballasting. —A considerable quantity of ballast, amounting to 19,960 cubic yards of broken metal and 242,283 cubic yards of shingle and gravel ballast, has been used during the year. Bridges.— Bridges have been maintained in a safe condition ; a large amount of strengthening and renewal has been done. The principal works in hand or completed under this head are as follows: In the Wellington-Napier district, Ormondville Viaduct; in the Christchurch district, the Hurunui, Eakaia, and Eangitata South bridges; in the Invercargill district, the Biverton bridges and deviation. Water Services. —These have been maintained in good order. Wharves. —These have been efficiently maintained. Additions to the Nelson and Picton wharves are the most pressing works of the future. Buildings. —The new station building at Dunedin is well on towards completion, and new stations at Petone and Lower Hutt have been completed. Station buildings at Gore, which were burnt down, have been rebuilt. New station buildings have been erected at Longburn, Temuka, and Seacliff, alad a new building is in hand at Blenheim. The expenditure under this head during the year amounts to £47,522, which is in excess of any previous year. Miscellaneous Works. —Additions and improvements have been made during the year amounting to £12,235, which has been charged to working-expenses. The principal works are as follows : Additions and alterations to sidings—Marton, Woodville, Pigeon Bush, Kaiwarra, Lyttelton, Timaru, Barewood, Crichton, Waiwera, Palmerston, Invercargill, Eiverton, Westport, Seddon.

The cost, which has been charged to capital, amounts t0"£88,795. Doubling and Improvement of Lines. —A commencement has been made with the doubling of the Auckland-Pen rose and Dunedin-Mosgiel lines, and surveys are practically completed for the doubling of the Addington-Kolleston line. Hutt Boad and Railway Improvement: The line has now been opened between Lower Hutt and Boeky Point, a distance of about three miles. A contract has been entered into for quarrying and delivering stone from Pencarrow, but there has been considerable delay on the part of the contractor in supplying the material, whereby the progress of the work has been much hindered. Eailway Deviations, Wanganui and New Plymouth : A short deviation of the WanganuiAramoho Branch for a distance of about three-quarters of a mile was completed. This has considerably improved the approach to the station by the flattening of a very sharp curve and reducing a grade. Surveys to determine the proper location of the New Plymouth new approach-line have been put in hand. Expenditure. —The expenditure on maintenance amounts to £543,039, equal to £227 per mile ; of the increase nearly 50 per cent, is due to the increase in wages and extra allowances for the staff, the balance to additional lines and higher charges for materials. Mileage. —The mileage open for traffic at the 31st March was 2,405 miles 74 chains, the length opened during the year being 31 miles 57 chains. Private Sidings. —On the 31st March there were 307 private sidings, at an annual rental qf £5,237. Fourteen new rights were issued during the year. Leases. —2,so6 leases were current on the 31st March, at an annual rental of £17,814. 365 new leases were issued. Staff. —The working staff consisted of 3,105 men ; office staff, 107 : total, 3,212. I attach the usual returns. Signal and Blbcteical. Fixed Signals. —During the past year four stations have been fitted with fixed signals—viz., Paeroa, Taihape, Hunterville, and Oporo. The expenditure for the year on new work was £236 3s. 6d., and for maintenance £1,273 3s. 3d. Interlocking of Points and Signals. —The signalling and interlocking at stations has worked with the most satisfactory results. The following stations have been fully equipped with signalling and interlocking, and brought into operation during the year: Woodville, Lower Hutt, Petone, Petone Junction, Longburn, Te Aro, Heathcote, Christchurch (south end), Lincoln Eoad tram-crossing, Biccarton Eoad tramcrossing, and Eocky Point. The work has also been commenced a,t Christchurch (north end), Lyttelton, Dunedin, and Upper Hutt. The expenditure for the year on new work was £14,269 165., and for maintenance £1,150 16s. 9d. Block-working. —The electric train-tablet system of block-working has worked with every satisfaction. During the year ninety-two tablet instruments and ninety miles of line have been fitted up and brought into operation, embracing the following sections : Hawera to New Plymouth, Awapuni to Eacecourse, Mercer to Frankton, Frankton to Morrinsville. Tablet instruments have been installed at Kaiwarra, Pithcaithly's, Silverstream, and Trentham Stations. The equipment of the sections from Waitati to Oamaru and Invercargill to Bluff is in progress. Telegraph and Telephone Facilities. —During the year 252 miles of wire have been erected and brought into use, also various alterations and additions have been made to improve existing lines. The construction of new telephone-lines between Te Awamutu and Otorohanga, Waitati and Oamaru, and Invercargill and Bluff is in progress ; eighty-seven telephones have been fixed and brought into operation; also eight additional connections have been made with the public telephone exchanges, and six portable telephones brought into use. Bight old-pattern telephones have been replaced by new and modern ones. Greater facilities are still needed in some of the districts to suit the more pressing requirements. The expenditure on the electric block working, telegraph and telephone facilities, for the year was : New work, £10,097 16s. Id. ; maintenance, £7,661 3s. Bd.; public telephone exchange connections, £1,696. Electric Light. —The electric light at Wellington, Bluff, and Port Chalmers Stations is giving every satisfaction. The Hawera Station has been fitted up with electric light, and the fitting-up of Dunedin New Station and Inglewood Station is in progress. Locomotive. Mr. A. L. Beattie, Chief Mechanical Engineer, reports as follows : — The engines, rolling-stock, machinery, plant, and appliances have been maintained in good and efficient working-order. Locomotives. —The number of engines in service on the Ist April, 1905, was 389, and the number on the 31st March, 1906, was 395. Two small tank engines were sold and 8 new engines were built, 5 of these being built in Government Eailway Workshops and 3 by Messrs. A. and G. Price, of Thames. The engines sold are being replaced with 2 larger engines.

The new locomotives, together with boiler renewals, increased the total tractive power by 144,079 lb., equal to 3'Bl per cent.; the new engines building and boilers under construction will, when completed, still further augment the tractive power. In the New Zealand Government Eailway Workshops to date 50 locomotive engines have been built, and, in addition, 24 old locomotives have been rebuilt to more powerful types. Four hundred and fifty-three locomotives passed through the workshops during the year, details as follows :—

Included in above return are 4 engines for Public Works Department. The following locomotives are under construction in Government Eailway Workshops—viz., 6 large tender engines of the four-cylinder " balanced compound" type, 1 large tender engine, and 6 Class Wp tank engines, making a total of 13 engines. During the year Messrs. A. and G. Price, of Thames, completed their contract to build: 10 Class Wp locomotives. This contract was completed well within the specified time, the engines being in every respect up to specification. Boilers. —The work on boiler repairs, renewals, and new boilers has made satisfactory progress. Thirteen new boilers were made. The following statement shows the details of the work done during the year : —

Twenty new locomotive boilers are under construction, comprising 7 Class A, 1 Class D, 1 Class J, 5 Class E, and 6 Class Wf. Carriages. —The car-stock on the Ist April, 1905, comprised 864 cars; the stock on the 31st March, 1906, was 906 cars. Forty-two new ft. bogie cars were built and added to stock.

Brake-vans. —The number of brake-vans on the Ist April, 1905, was 307, and the number on the line on the 31st March, 1906, was 315. One old four-wheel brake-van was sold and one written off, and are being replaced with standard bogie brake-vans. Ten new bogie brake-vans were built and put into service. The repairs. &c, to brake-vans during the year were as follows : —

Eighteen new bogie brake-vans are under construction. Wagons. —The wagon-stock on the Ist April, 1905, comprised 13,578 wagons, and on 31st March, 1906, the number was 13,812 vehicles. JPive old wagons were sold and are being replaced with 5 new wagons. One old obsolete brake-van was converted to Glass X sleeping-van. Two hundred and thirty-eight new wagons were built and put into traffic. There were also built in the Government Eailway Workshops 4.5 work-train wagons for Public Works Department. The carrying-capacity of wagon-stock has been increabed by 3,456 tons, equal to 3-54 per cent., being an equivalent of 576 ordinary wagons. The following table gives particulars of repairs, &c, to wagon-stock : —

There were under construction at close of year in Government Bail way Workshops 651 wagons, consisting of 143 bogie and 508 four-wheel wagons. Tarpaulins. —The stock of tarpaulins on the Ist April, 1905, was 10,252 tarpaulins, and on the 31st March, 1906, the stock consisted of 10,362 tarpaulins. One hundred and ten tarpaulins were made and added to stock, and 1,375 old worn-out tarpaulins were written off the stock and replaced with a similar number of new tarpaulins manufactured in the Government Eailway Workshops and charged to working-expenses. Sixteen tarpaulins were also made for other Departments. The following table shows the work on tarpaulins for the year:—

Axles. —During the year 1,311 car, van, and wagon axles were replaced with modern steel axles : this number is exclusive of the new stock built. Westing house Brake. —The South Island contract for equipping with Westinghouse brake engines and rolling-stock on Hurunui-Bluff Section was completed in December, 1905, well ahead of contract time. All engines and rolling-stock used for traffic purposes on Auckland, Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth, and Hurunui-Bluff Sections are now equipped with quick-acting Westingbouse brake. As new engines and rolling-stock are built for these sections they are equipped in the Government Eailway Workshops with the Westinghouse brake. Gar-lighting. —The oil and acetylene gas manufactured during the year for car-lighting at the five separate Pintsch gasworks amounted to 3,777,702 cubic feet, costing 2s. 8-J-d. per 100 cubic feet. During the year it was found necessary to increase the storage-capacity at Christchurch Gasworks by adding one high pressure storeholder. Workshops. —The plant and appliances in workshops have been augmented during the year by additional tools and machinery. Steamers. —The Kailway Department's steamers on Lake Wakatipu have been maintained in good and efficient condition. Each steamer was thoroughly overhauled during the slack season, and many improvements effected for the comfort and convenience of the travelling public. Train Running and Mileage. —There has again been a large increase in train-mileage. Compared with 1904-5 the increase for 1905-6 is 306,494 train-miles, equal to 502 per cent., and 491,976 engine-miles, equal to 5-98 per cent. The increased cost per train-mile has been mainly caused by extra cost of fuel, wages, and generally enhanced cost of materials and stores. The following statement shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile : —

The usual returns are attached. Traffic. Mr. H. Buxton, Chief Traffic Manager, reports as follows : — Hurunui-Bluff Section. Eevenue, £1,107,351, an increase of £44,726. No. Amount.

The passenger business increased by nearly 65,000 passengers, both ordinary and excursion bookings showing considerable expansion. The parcels traffic also shows a steady growth, the number of parcels carried having increased by 12,328. The sheep traffic in Canterbury shows an increase of 189,957 head, and is exceptional in this respect, similar traffic in the other districts having declined. The coal, timber, and general goods traffic was largely in excess of last year. The Otago District contributed £367,300, an increase of over £7,000. The returns show large increases in both ordinary and excursion passengers. The parcels and other coaching traffic was also heavier than last year. There was a falling-off of 53,764 sheep and 11,000 tons of merchandise, the latter due to the diversion of shipping from Port Chalmers to Dunedin, and to a decline in the exports of fiozen meat. The goods business was otherwise satisfactory. The dairy industry continues to expand, the returns under this head being well in advance of last year. The Southland District contributed £225,551, which is slightly below last year's figures. The passenger and coaching business has improved, and shows an increase of over £4,000, The goods traffic shows a decline in timber, agricultural produce, and merchandise. In timber the falling-off is due to mills ceasing operations after exhausting supplies.

The decline in agricultural tonnage is chiefly on account of an exceptionally late season due to unfavourable weather conditions. The closing of flax-mills and a decline in frozen-meat exports account for a decrease in the tonnage of merchandise. Lake Wakatipu Steamer Service. Eevenue, £5,986 ; an increase of £89. The passenger and parcels business has improved, but there is a slight falling-off in the goods traffic. Picton-Nelson and West Coast Sections. Picton. —Eevenue, £21,279; an increase of £4,773. Both passenger and goods traffic show satisfactory increases. Nelson. —Eevenue, £18,448; an increase of £910. Excepting timber and live-stock, which have slightly fallen off, the business generally shows an all-round increase. Westport. —Eevenue, £81,074 ; a decrease of £2,496. The business has declined owing to a slackness at the coal-mines. The coal traffic was 20,842 tons less, and the passenger traffic over •6,000 passengers less than last year. Westland. —Eevenue, £92,775 ; an increase of £9,418. The coal tonnage increased by 67,611 tons and the timber export by 8,000,000 ft., as compared with last year. .

The passenger business shows continued expansion, the number of passengers carried being 80,000 in excess of last year. parcels and coaching traffic also shows a steady growth. The goods traffic has been well maintained, the receipts therefrom being nearly £3,000 more than last year. The sheep traffic fell off by 86,728; timber and merchandise (meat for export) also show a slight decline. The Wanganui District contributed £278,000, nearly £23,000 more than last year. The passenger and coaching business was largely in excess of last year, and in goods traffic there are substantial increases under all headings except sheep, which declined by 53,774. The weight of butter carried was 557 tons more than last year, but cheese fell off by 426 tons. Auckland Section. Eevenue, £334,095 ; an increase of £35,072. No. Amount.

In the passenger business both ordinary, excursion, and tourist bookings show a steady growth. The tonnage of coal was 20,000 tons in excess .of last year, and timber increased by 9,000 tons. The tonnage of dairy produce was about the same as last year. The traffic on the Waihi branch, which was opened on the 9th November, has contributed largely to the general increase. The completion of the Taupo Totara Timber Company's line has also had a favourable effect. North Auckland Sections. Whangarei. —Eevenue, £25,654 ; an increase of £788. Timber traffic fell off by 5,000 tons, and road-metal by 3,000 tons, but other goods business and passengers show good increases. Kawakaica. —Eevenue, £1,800 ; a decrease of £180. The falling-off is chiefly in the coal and merchandise traffic. Kaihu. —Eevenue, £7,073 ; a decrease of £255, which is due to a falling-off in the timber traffic. Gisborne Section.
