RAILWAYS STATEMENT (13th October, 1909). BY THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, THE HON, J. A, MILLAR.

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting my first Kailways Statement, that for the year ended 31st March, 1909, I have to announce that the results of the year's operations, when compared with those of the previous year, have on the whole been satisfactory, and may be summarised thus :— Year 1909. Year 1908. £ _ Total earnings 2,929,526 2,761,938 Total expenditure 2,114,815 1,949,759 Net profit on working £814,711 £812,179 GENERAL. ■ The mileage of line open for traffic on the 31st March, 1900, was 2,082 miles, against 2,471 miles for the previous year. The average miles operated during the year was 2,556. The following extensions were opened during the year : — M. oh. Douglas-Huiroa ... ... ... ••• ••• ••• 4 59 Mount Egmont Branch ... ... ... ••• ••• «5 2 Tauhoa-Wayby ... ... ••• ••• ••• ••• 3 50 Puha-Waikohu ... ... ... ■•• ••• ••• 3 25 Mataroa-Taumarunui ... ... ... ••■ ... 84 58 Reefton-Cronadun... ... ... ••■ ■■• •■• 5 31 Waikaka Branch ... ... ... ••• ••• ... 12 57 Tadmor-Kiwi ... ... ... ••• ••• ••• 5 15 125 57 In addition, the Government acquired the Wellington and Manawatu Company's line, between Wellington and Longburn, 83 miles 67 chains. The mileage of State-owned railways was thus increased during the year by 209 miles 44 chains. The capital cost of lines open for traffic has increased from £24,365,647 last year to ,£27,762,592 for the year under review. The net revenue, £814,711, is equal to a return of 3-13 per cent, on the capital invested in the open lines, and 2'Bo per cent, on the total capital (£29,052,432) invested in open and unopened lines. The expense of working the Kawakawa and Kaihu Sections exceeded the gross revenue, the deficit being—Kawakawa £1.408, and Kaihu £310. The total train-miles run during the year was 7,458,236, an increase of 406,962 miles over the preceding year. The increased train-mileage represents additional facilities mainly in the North Island main line and branches. It is

largely clue to the inauguration of the through Wellington-Auckland service via the Main Trunk line, the inclusion of the Wellington-Manawatu line in the Government railways system, and the revision of the time-tables generally, making it necessary to provide additional trains to meet the altered circumstances of the country. In order to give the quickest connection possible between the various important towns of the North and South Islands, it was decided to accelerate the running of the first north and south bound express trains between Christchurch and Jnveroargill, and to reduce the number of stopping-places en route. One hour and thirty-five minutes were taken off the time, thus reducing the journey between Lyttelton and Invercargill to thirteen hours, and enabling the through journey by rail and steamer, Auckland to Invercargill, to be made in forty-eight hours including a stay of about three and a half hours in Wellington. The following figures, which give the record of the late arrivals of the principal trains during the year, indicate that the train service has maintained punctuality : — Average Late Arrival. Mm. Min. For long-distance passenger-trains ... ... 1-29, against 1'43 last year. For suburban trains ... ... ... 0'36, „ o'3B „ For long-distance mixed trains ... ... 1-88, „ 1'75 „ The passenger traffic increased very materially during the year, and for the first time in the history of the railways of the Dominion ordinary passengers totalled over ten' millions ; the number actually carried being 10,457,144, an increase of 700,428 over the previous year. Season tickets numbered 192,547, an increase of 7,373. The number of workers' twelve-trip tickets was 45,227, and of workers' weekly tickets, available on suburban lines, 102,262. The steady increase in. workers' tickets is a very gratifying evidence that the people for whose benefit they were established are realising the advantages derivable from living in the healthy suburban areas. I look forward, therefore, with confidence to a continued expansion of traffic from workers' tickets. Holiday excursion tickets issued numbered 790,179, an increase of 58,044 over the previous year. School, factory, and friendly societies' excursion tickets numbered 117,044, an increase of 3,964. The coaching and goods traffic show increases under the various headings under which the traffic is grouped, carriages, pigs, firewood, timber, and merchandise excepted. In the coaching the increases have been—parcels, 23,728; horses, 701 ; dogs, 3,032 :* and in the live-stock and goods traffic—cattle and calves, 9,133 ; sheep, 618,389 head ; chaff, lime, &c, 12,899 tons ; wool, 17,323 tons; grain, 54,225; minerals, 22,136. The decrease in the number of pigs carried was 8,361 head; firewood, 7,534 tons; timber, 34,032 tons; merchandise, 27,676 tons. The decrease in pig traffic resulted from low prices ruling this year, and in merchandise from a falling-off in the quantity of frozen, meat railed in the South Island, and the fact that Home vessels now invariably proceed direct to Dunedin to discharge, thus diverting the bulk of the shipping traffic from the Port Chalmers line. The decrease in timber resulted from the temporary closing-down of a number of mills owing to scarcity of orders, consequent on the dullness in the building trade. The average number of men employed during the year was 12,505, against 12,338 for the previous year. During the year 259 members of the permainent staff resigned, 64 retired on superannuation, 38 died, 132 were dismissed, 923 engaged, and 324 were taken over from the Wellington-Manawatu Railway Company. Twenty appeals were heard during the year by the Eailway Appeal Boards ; of these, seven were upheld, and thirteen dismissed. Twenty members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division during the year. The sum of £7,512 has been paid as compensation during the year under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act.

New rolling-stock actually turned out of the Eailway workshops completed during the year comprised two four-cylinder balanced compound Class X tender engines, weighing 94 tons each in working trim, and specially designed for use on the heavy grades on the Auckland Main Trunk line ; eight heavy tank engines ; four 50 ft. refreshment-cars ; six 50 ft. sleeping-cars ; twenty-four 50 ft. day cars ; fourteen Class A cars ; ten 50 ft. postal vans, ten bogie vans, 636 goods-wagons-, and 750 new tarpaulins. One thousand and nineteen modern steel axles were fitted to cars, vans, and wagons, in substitution for old iron axles. By this alteration the carrying-capa-city of each wagon has been increased by 2 tons, and greater strength is insured. All new car and wagon stock built in the workshops is equipped at the outset with steel axles, and this practice will be closely adhered to throughout. All locomotives, carriages, and wagons built in the workshops for the North and South Island Main Trunk lines and branches are fully equipped with the Westinghouse brake. Trials have been made of the use of incandescent mantles on lamps of carriages lighted by Pintsch's gas system. Beneficial results have been obtained, and all Pintsch gas-lamps are accordingly being fitted with mantles as rapidly as possible. During the year 5,690,390 cubic feet of Pintsch's gas were manufactured at the five Eailway gasworks installed in the North and South Island. Machinery of improved type and greater capacity has been added to the workshop equipment during the year, at a cost of £10,956. The whole of the rolling-stock, machinery and appliances, track, bridges, buildings, and other structures connected with the railway system throughout the Dominion have been maintained in a thoroughly efficient condition. A total of 123 miles of line were relaid during the year —ninety-three miles of main line with 70 lb. steel rails, and thirty miles of branch line with 53 lb. steel rails that had been removed from the main line. The number of new sleepers placed in the track was 292,549, and 385,891 cubic yards of ballast were used in track-maintenance. A laige number of improvements have been made at various stations throughout the Dominion : they comprise additions to station buildings, sidings, water-services ; improved lighting at workshops, stations, and in yards ; erection of houses for staff, signal appliances, goods - sheds, strengthening bridges, erecting stockyards, overbridges, and verandahs. New station buildings were provided at Fairlie, Mount Albert, and Glenavy, and new flag station between Takapau and Hatuma. A considerable number of other works, calculated to promote the public interests and the efficiency of the Eailway service, were undertaken. Some were incomplete at the end of the year; they are, however, being pushed on as rapidly as circumstances will permit. Traffic on the main line south of Dunedin was interrupted by floods in the Taieri Eiver in July last. On the Otago Central line heavy falls of snow interfered materially with the train operations, and for thirteen days the running of trains on the portion of the line between Clyde and Eanfurly, a distance of fifty-eight miles, was impracticable. In the North Island, traffic on the Poxton Branch was interrupted by floods for four days in August. On 11th July two passengers were slightly injured in a derailment that occurred between Awatuna and Stafford on the Greymouth-Hokitika line, the result of cattle straying on the railway. On the 2nd February a slight collision occurred at Marton Junction, owing to the driver of a shuntingengine running out on to the main line after the down mail from New Plymouth had been given the right of road into the station. The damage to the line and rolling-stock was slight, and I am pleased to say that no one was seriously injured.

REVENUE. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £2,929,526. It exceeded the estimate by £94,526, and the gross revenue for the previous year by £167,588. Passenger revenue shows an increase of £85,937 ; season tickets, £12,743 ; coaching, £10,165 ; goods and live-stock, £48,376 ; miscellaneous and rents, £10,367. The receipts per train-mile amounted to 94-00d., as against 93 - 75d. for the previous year. The earnings of the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £6,438, as against £6,637 last year. The net earnings gave a return of 3* 13 per cent, on the capital cost. EXPENDITURE. The expenditure for the year, including £5,058 incurred in connection with the Lake Wakatipu steamers, amounted to £2,114,815, an increase of £165,057 over the previous year, and absorbed 72-19 per cent, of the revenue, as against 70-59 per cent, for the previous year:— Expenditure. Per Cent, of Revenue. 1908-9. 1907-8. 1908-9. 1907-8. _ £ Traffic ... ... ... 605,940 534,634 20-73 19-40 Locomotive ... ... 794,260 733,403 27-17 26'62 Maintenance ... ... 656,154 638,560 22-45 2318 Management 92,445 76,082 3'16 2'76 2,148,799 1,982,679 73-51 71-96 Less credit recoveries ... 39,042 38,297 1-33 1-39 2,109,757 1,944,382 72-18 70-57 Lake Wakatipu steamers ... 5,058 5,377 0-01 0-02 £2,114,815 £1,949,759 72-19 70-59 The cost of maintenance of line, buildings, and structures has increased from £638,560 to £656,154, representing an average expenditure of £257 - 63 against £258'31 per mile of railway for the previous year. The increased expenditure has been incurred on the Kawakawa Section, £383 ; Whangarei, £73 ; Gisborne, £563 ; North Island main line and branches, £29,221; Picton, £3,247. The cost of maintenance has decreased on the Kaihu Section, £203; South Island main line and branches, £8,699; Westland, £477; Westport, £5,720; Nelson, £794. The increased cost of maintenance is a natural corollary of the demand created by the expanding traffic for engines of greater power, cars and wagons of increased carrying-capacity, and faster train-services. The relaying of the main lines and branches with heavier rails, respacing of sleepers, strengthening of structures, and provision of many other works calculated to increase the efficiency of the lines and enable them to meet all the existing and prospective requirements for a considerable time to come had necessarily to be undertaken and, where possible, completed. During the ten years intervening between 1899 and 1909, a total of 929 miles of track has been relaid, 768 miles with new materials and 161 miles of branch line with rails taken out of main lines, and the expenditure on track-renewals, including relaying and new sleepers, amounted to £1,678,526. The enhanced price of materials, increased rates of wages, and expenditure incurred on the works enumerated has had a marked effect on the maintenance expenditure, which has steadily increased during the past ten years. Our railway-lines are, however, in a better condition than at any other period during their history. I confidently anticipate that as a result of the expenditure incurred in connection with betterments during the past few years a diminution of maintenance expenditure is now within measurable distance. I observe that the effect of high-priced material on the maintenance of railroads is not confined to the Dominion, but has been making itself felt in the United States and United Kingdom, where the cost of materials is assigned by some of the leading companies as the reason for the advance in their operating expenses. Additions and improvements to lines and structures costing £13,308, 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, higher rates of wages and salaries under the Classification Act, 1907, extra staff to operate the safety appliances, the installation and staffing of additional tablet stations, the provision of stafi necessary to carry on the operations of the Department over a longer period of the day than heretofore, and provide for the requirement of the additional traffic. Incidentally it may be stated that a large number of the stations and tablet stations and signal-boxes' are now open for practically the whole twenty-four hours, and have to be staffed accordingly. In the Locomotive Branch the increase is due to extra train-mileage, heavy renewals and repairs, the increased cost of wages, fuel, and materials, and the additional staff to meet the requirements of the altered conditions since the opening of the Main Trunk line. The increase in the cost of Head and Departmental Offices is incidental to the inclusion in the Head Office portion of the vote of items that have previously been charged under the sectional heading, and to the scale increase of salaries to the staff under the Classification Act. The sum of .£398,097 was expended under the head " Additions to open lines " and charged to Capital Account. Of this amount, £269,156 was expended on rolling-stock, tarpaulins, steam-cranes, Westinghouse brake, and machinery for workshops. The rolling-stock in respect to which the charges were, made consists of 20 locomotives, 58 carriages, 7 brake-vans, 10 bogie and 570 four-wheeled wagons, 750 tarpaulins, and 2 cranes, completed on 31st March, 1909, and 15 locomotives, 44 carriages, 23 brake-vans, 65 bogie and 1,127 four-wheeled wagons, 325 tarpaulins incomplete but in hand on that date. £128,941 was spent in providing telegraph and telephone facilities, signals and interlocking, tablet and safety appliances, bridges, additions to station buildings, workshops, dwellings for staff, purchase of land, wharves, pile-driving and stonecrushing plant, sidings, loading-banks, stock-yards, crossings, additions to sheds, turntables, &c.

CONCLUDING REMARKS AND FORECAST. The work connected with the duplication of the railway-lines leading from the four main centres is progressing steadily. At Auckland the double line from Newmarket to Penrose Junction has been opened for traffic. One side of the two-track Parnell railway-bridge on the Auckland side of the tunnel has been completed, and is regularly used by trains. Work on the other side is progressing favourably. The Wellington-Hutt duplication was opened as far as Ngahauranga on 27th September, and the two-track line between Lower Hutt and Ngahauranga is regularly in use. It is anticipated that a further section —Ngahauranga to Kaiwarra—will be ready for use shortly. The construction of the new main road is now in hand, and portions of it are being daily used for vehicle traffic. Good progress has been made between Addington and Eolleston, and I anticipate that the double line between those stations will be ready for traffic very shortly. Of the Dunedin-Mogiel line the portion between Dunedin and Caversham is nearly completed. The Anderson's Bay Boad, King Edward Boad, and other smaller steel bridges have been erected, the engine-depot has been completed to meet present requirements, and about 39 chains of the Caversham Tunnel have been driven. The Culverden-Waiau motor service continues to give satisfaction, and it is anticipated that the bridges over the Hanmer, Percival, and Rogerson Streams will be completed in time to enable the motors to run tbrough to Hanmer next tourist season. This will entirely obviate the necessity for the running of the Waiau Perry and Hanmer. The rolling-stock under order and in course of construction in the Eailway workshops at the close of the year comprised 6 Class X tender engines of the four-cylinder balanced compound type, weighing in working-trim 94 tons each, 2 heavy tank engines, 12 new boilers, 48 bogie cars, 22 bogie and 1 four-wheel brake-van, 65 bogie and 1,129 four-wheeled wagons. Messrs. A. and G. Price, of Thames, have now delivered 12 of the Class A four-cylinder balanced compound locomotives, each weighing 72 tons in workingtrim, they were building under contract for the Railways, leaving 8 to complete the contract. The engines turned out by this firm have been very satisfactory. With a view to providing for the expansion of business that must occur in the near future as a result of the increased mileage of our lines and the op eningup and settlement of new districts, the following rolling-stock will be put in hand for the year 1909-10: 10 Class A, .10 Class B, and 20 Class Wo locomotives, 40 bogie cars, 12 bogie brake-vans, 16 bogie and 738 four-wheeled wagons. 1 am of opinion that the time has arrived when it is desirable to develop settlement within a reasonable distance of the main centres of population by a further inauguration of motor services. Satisfactory results have been obtained from the running of motor-cars in connection with various railway systems in different parts of the world, and, in view of the advancement that has been made in connection with the means of propulsion and construction of such cars, I am at present obtaining data respecting the results of working the different types of railway-motors used abroad, so that the most efficient and economical type of vehicle suitable for the requirements of New Zealand may shortly be brought into use on our lines. Signalling and interlocking equipment was installed and brought into operation at Lepperton Junction, Ngahauranga, Milton, Clinton, and Pukerua. Temporary systems w r ere installed at Newmarket Junction, Penrose Junction, Addington Junction, and Hornby Junction ; also, complete system for doubleline working at Newmarket, Remuera, Green Lane, Racecourse Platform, Ellerslie, and. Penrose. Borty-eight stations have been equipped with fixed semaphore signals, and the sidings known as Turner's, Gardner's, Booth's, and Palmer's have been interlocked with the tablet system, as has also a railway service siding at Burnside,

The equipping of Marton, Ngaio, Tawa Flat, Ngaurukehu, Sockburn, Templeton, Islington, and Parnell Tunnel is in hand, also the rearrangement of Addington, Hornby, and Rolleston to suit the double-line working. One hundred and thirty Tyer's electric tablet instruments were installed and brought into use on the sections embracing the line between Marton and Frankton and between Wellington and Longburn. The extension of the system over the sections Woodville to Waipukurau, Pukeuri to Washdyke, and Ngahere to Blackball, is in hand. The automatic tablet-exchanger was installed at 80 stations during the year. The main line, Wellington to Auckland, is fully equipped with this apparatus, which is being extended to other main lines as quickly as possible. Since the practical work connected with the equipment of the lines with up-to-date safety appliances was begun in 1899, 650 electric tablet instruments have been brought into operation at 274 tablet signalling-stations, embracing 1,158 miles of line; staff-and-ticket working installed on 21 miles of track, electric lock-and-block working on 4 miles of double line; 969 signals and 1,993 levers installed in connection with the signalling and interlocking at 59 stations; 451 signals and levers installed at 186 stations not fitted with interlocking ; 22 interlocked points fitted with Annett's or tablet locks ; 125 automatic tablet exchangers, 125 electric bells, 130 signal-repeaters, 1,045 telephones, 212 Morse instruments, and sixteen electric lock-and-block instruments installed; and 4,754 miles of railway-wire provided on 1,652 miles of telegraphpoles. Three events of unique and historical character occurred during the year — viz., the visit to Auckland of the American Fleet, the completion of the North Island Main Trunk line, and the acquisition by the State of the Wellington Manawatu Railway Company's line, eighty-four miles in length. The rail-heads of the North Island Main Trunk line were joined up on 3rd August, 1908. The first through passenger-train, conveying Ministers >4 the Crown, and members of Parliament to take part in the welcome to the American Fleet, left Wellington for Auckland at 9.55 p.m. on 7th August. The train consisted of nine passengercars, one dining-car, and one bogie brake-van, weighed 212 tons, and was worked by the Manawatu Railway Company to Longburn, thence to Waiouru by the Working Railways, Waiouru to Taumarunui by Public Works 1 )epartment, thence by the Working Railways Department to Auckland, where it arrived at 6.31 p.m. on Bth August. The return train left Auckland at 10.20 p.m. on 17th August, arriving Wellington at 6.10 p.m. on 18th August. The official opening ceremony of the Main Trunk line took place at Manganui-o-te-ao on 6th November, the last spike being driven by the Prime Minister, the Right Hon. Sir J. G. Ward, K.C.M.G. Special excursion trains were run from Wellington and Auckland respectively, and were availed of by a large number of passengers. Through goods and passenger traffic via the Main Trunk line were worked conjointly by the Working Railways and Public Works Departments from 9th November, 1908, until 15th February, 1909, when the last section was formally taken over by the Working Railways, and the Auckland-Wellington through express service commenced running daily. The terms upon which the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company's line could be acquired by the State having been mutually agreed upon, the company's line with 324 members of its staff and all appliances were taken over and incorporated as part of the State-owned railways on the 7th December, 1908. The rolling-stock acquired consisted of 20 locomotives, 56 bogie cars, 16 brakevans, 343 wagons, 225 tarpaulins, and 2 ten-ton hand cranes. A considerable amount of expenditure has been incurred since the line was taken over in extending the station and siding accommodation, installing the electric tablet system, and making such other alterations as were found essential for efficiently working the increased traffic consequent on the diversion of business formerly sent from the iNapier line to Wellington via the Wairarapa. This diversion of traffic has resulted in a material decrease in the business over the Rimutaka Incline, and a Considerable saving in operating-expenses will ultimately result therefrom,

The advent of the American Fleet caused a large influx of passengers to Auckland, and made heavy demands on the railway during the week the fleet remained in port. I am gratified at having to state that the whole of the requirements were fully met in a highly satisfactory manner. The inauguration of the through train service between Wellington and Auckland has already had a very marked effect on the passenger-traffic between stations in the Auckland, Wellington, Taranaki, and Hawke's Bay Provinces. Practically the whole of the passenger-traffic which formerly went by the sea routes via New Plymouth and Napier to and from Auckland now comes overland via the Main Trunk line. The steamer service between New Plymouth and Onehunga now consists of a bi-weekly service run by the Northern Company, the Union Company's passenger-boats having been withdrawn from the trade. The diversion of business has, however, considerably affected the receipts of the Wellington-New Plymouth mail trains, the traffic by which is practically reduced to the local business for stations up to New Plymouth. The concessions made in rates and fares comprised reductions in suburban tickets and in ordinary tickets between stations between which a suburban area intervenes; extension of distance over which workers' twelve-trip tickets are issuable ; extension of fifty-trip family and single commutation tickets to twentyfive miles, and reduction of rates therefor ; mileage rates on a graduated scale for annual season tickets; reduction in rates for timber for long distances, for road-metal for local bodies, for native coal for long distances, and for ships' goods conveyed on port lines. The amount of increased pay accruing to the Railway staff as a result of the operation of the Classification Act of 1907 was £147,000, and the additional amount involved in paying the marriage allowance under the regulation was £12,000 per annum. With a view to removing some of the disabilities of passengers who travel by the ferry boats between stations in the South Island and North Island, arrangements have been made whereby the Union Steamship Company can issue to passengers making rail and steamer journey a rail ticket from Wellington and Lyttelton respectively to the more important centres in the respective Islands. The system will be extended from time to time as found necessary. Arrangements are also in progress for the checking of passengers' luggage for the through journey by rail and steamer from and to stations in either Island. This will include cartage between railway-station and steamer at Wellington, the owner of luggage being required to pay the cost of the cartage, the right for which will be let by tender. The luggage will under this system be checked at the starting station, if the owner so desires, to the final destination in the respective Islands. To avoid any inconvenience, passengers are recommended to take articles required for use en route in a separate package, which may be checked to the port station or otherwise at their option, as luggage checked through will not be delivered short of the final destination. With a view to facilitating the movements of passengers who desire to make tours combining rail, coach, and steamer trips, arrangements have been made under which the New Zealand Government Tourist Branch will issue tickets for the rail journey at the same time that the ticket for the steamer or coach trip is purchased. The number of persons receiving the benefits of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund at the end of the year was 796, making an annual charge on the fund of £37,602 2s. 4d. The beneficiaries comprised 405 late members of the service who had voluntarily retired, 88 who had been retired medically unfit, 118 widows, and 185 children. In accordance with the provisions of section 55 of " The Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908," the Railway Servants' Society paid into the Government Railways Superannuation Fund the sum of £1,500 to purchase the broken time of the men who took part in the maritime strike in 1890. The Wellington-Manawatu Railway Company, in terms of section 96 of " The Government Railways Act, 1908," paid into the fund the sum of £5,000 to place its employees on the same footing as Government railway men in respect to

counting service with the company ; and the company's employees, in accordance with the provisions of the same section, have paid into the fund £5,478 ss. 7d. as the contribution towards purchasing back time for superannuation. A number of contributors who had broken time in the service of the State Railways have taken advantage of the provision in section 56 of "The Public Service Classification and Superannuation Amendment Act, 1908," and paid the amount required to enable their broken service to count for superannuation. The accumulated fund now amounts to £157,151 14s. 9d. A feeling appears to exist among a section of the contributors to the fund that widows of railwaymen who have retired on superannuation should, at the death of their husbands, receive the same allowance as widows whose husbands die before reaching the retiring-age. It has been pointed out on several occasions that the contributions at present made to the fund are the minimum, while the benefits are the maximum. It is obvious, therefore, that no additional charges can be put on the fund without a corresponding increase being made in the rate of contribution. The financial stability of the fund is of paramount importance to every contributor, and each such person should carefully consider the effect the adoption of the suggestion would have on the fund before seriously putting it forward. It should be definitely understood that no charge can be placed on the fund without a corresponding increase in the payments of each contributor thereto. The following statement shows a brief comparison of the traffic and the rolling-stock for dealing therewith when the Government resumed control of the railways in 1895 with that at 31st March of the present year:—

Although favourable circumstances of a non-recurring character existed during the last financial year, and there has been a slight depression during the first portion of the year just entered upon, I feel confident from present indications that a return to prosperity is assured, and am of opinion that the railways will again show satisfactory results. I therefore estimate the revenue for the year ending 31st March, 1910, at and the expenditure at £2,143,500.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS,

r>.-2

ANNUAL REPORT OP THE GENERAL MANAGER OP NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways, Head Office, Sir,— Wellington, 3rd July, 1909. I have the honour to report, upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended the 31st March, 1909. The capital cost has increased from £24,365,647 to £27,762,592. The revenue was £2,929,526 against £2,761,938, an increase of £167,588. The net revenue has been £814,711, as against £812,179 last year. The expenditure for the year under review has been £2,114,815 against £1,949,759, an increase of £165,056. The rate of interest on capital was £3 2s. 7d., as compared with £3 6s. Bd. last year. The revenue per train-mile was 7s. lOd. and the expenditure ss. Bd., as compared with 7s. 9|d. and ss. 6Jd. respectively last year. The following extensions have been opened during the year : — M> ch> Douglas-Huiroa .. .. .. .. .. .. 4 59 Mount Egmont Branch .. .. . . .. . . ..62 Tauhoa-Wayby 3 50 Puha-Waikohu .. 3 25 Mataroa-Taumarunui .. .. .. .. .. .. 84 58 Rccfton-Cronadun .. .. .. .. ... 5 31 Waikaka Branch .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 12 57 Tadmor-Kiwi .. .. .. .. .. .. 5 15 125 57 This added to the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company's line, 83 miles 67 chains, make? the total addition to the system during the year under review 209 miles 44 chains, bringing the total mileage open for traffic on the 31st March, 1909, up to 2,682 miles, as against 2,471 miles at the close of the previous year. During the year 10,457,144 ordinary passengers were carried, yielding a revenue of £921,411, and 192,547 season tickets were issued, the revenue derived therefrom being £90,248. There was thus an increase of 700,428 ordinary passengers and £85,937 revenue, and of 7,373 season tickets and £12,743 revenue, over the traffic carried under these heads during the previous year. 64,465 children and teachers and 52,579 adults travelled by school and factory excursions during the year, the revenue derived therefrom being £7,641. 790,179 passengers travelled at holiday-excursion fares, yielding a revenue of £166,471, an increase of 58,044 excursionists and £24,951 revenue as compared with the previous year. The coaching and goods traffic has been well maintained during the year and shows increases under most headings. Increases. Coaching.-- Parcels, 23,728 ; horses, 701 ; dogs, 3,032. Revenue, £10,165. Goods. —Cattle and calves, 9,133 head ; sheep, 618,389 head ; chaff, lime, &c, 12,899 tons ; wool, 17,323 tons ; grain, 54,225 tons ; minerals, 22,136 tons. Revenue, £48,376. Total increase in goods and live-stock tonnage, 65,232 tons. Decreases. Coaching. —Carriages, 279. Goods. —Pigs, 8,361 head ; firewood, 7,534 tons ; timber, 34,032 tons ; merchandise, 27,676 tons. Large additions were made to the train-services during the year. The most important of these consisted of the inauguration of the through fast services to connect Auckland and Invercargill after the completion of the North Island Main Trunk line. It was anticipated that the opening of this line would have a material effect on the trend of the traffic between the two Islands. A great deal of thought was therefore given to the time-table, and an effort made to establish at the outset a service that would reasonably meet requirements. The expresses from Lyttelton to Invercargill and Invercargill to hyttelton were accelerated, the journey-time being reduced by one hour and thirty-five minutes, suitable connection being made by the Union Steamship Company's steamer to permit of inter-Island passengers catching expresses at Wellington and Lyttelton respectively. Adjustment of train-services on other portions of the railway system were made to provide for the local requirements as far as possible. During the time the through trains have been running they have maintained punctuality. The Wellington-Auckland journey occupying a night, the train-equipment consists of sleeping, refreshment, and ordinary day cars, each 50 ft. long, and heated by steam and specially built for the line. The alterations and additions made to the services involved a considerable increase in the trainmileage, which was 406,962 miles greater than that of the year 1908. Three important events occured during the year —viz., the visit of the American Fleet to Auckland, the opening of the North Island Main Trunk Railway, and the incorporation of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company's line with the Government railways. Very heavy traffic resulted from the visit of the fleet, but all the requirements were satisfactorily met. I regret to report that on the 11th July two passengers were slightly injured in a derailment that occurred between Awatuna and Stafford, on the Greymouth-Hokitika line, caused through cattle straying on the line. A collision also occurred at Marton Junction on the 2nd February through a shunting-engine running out on to the main line after the signals had been lowered for the incoming south-bound mail-train from New Plymouth. No one was seriously hurt, and very little damage was done to the rolling-stock.

The installation of electric tablet, telephones and telegraphs, and interlocking made satisfactory progress during the year. Essential safety appliances have been installed at stations between Wellington and Longburn since the Manawatu line was taken over. Considerable improvements have also been made in the accommodation provided at stations on that line to meet the requirements of the traffic, a very large proportion of which now comes via Longburn instead of via the Rimutaka Incline as heretofore. Locomotive. Mr. A. L. Beattie, Chief Mechanical Engineer, reports as follows :— The engines, rolling-stock, plant, machinery, and appliances have been maintained in thoroughly efficient working-order, the details of work being as follows :— Locomotives.—The number of engines in service on Ist April, 1908, was 410, and the number on 31st March, 1909, was 452. Twenty new engines were added to st ck :of these, ten were built in the Government Railway Workshops, and comprised two Class X, 94-ton tender engines, fourcylinder " balanced-compound " type, specially designed and built for the heavy grades on North Island Main Trunk Line, and eight heavy tank engines; ten Class A, 72-ton tender engines, four-cylinder " balanced-compound " type, were completed under Messrs. A. and G. Price's contract. Two tank engines were taken over from Public Works Department after the completion of North Island Mam Trunk Line, and twenty engines were taken over in connection with the acquisition of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway Company. • _ In the Government Railway Workshops to date 73 engines have been built, and 24 locomotives rebuilt to more modern types. , Five hundred and fifty-eight locomotives passed through the workshops during the year, details as under :—

Included in above return are ten engines for Public Works Department. In the Railway Workshops at close of year there were under construction six large 94-ton tender engines, four-cylinder " balanced-compound " type, specially designed for North Island Main Line, and two heavy tank engines. Under the contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price, Thames, eight engines were still to deliver, so that altogether there were in hand at close of year sixteen locomotive engines. gSd Boilers.— Boiler renewals and repairsJhave been kept well up to date. Nineteen new locomotive boilers and two vertical boilers were completed. The following are details of boiler-work :—

Twelve new boilers are under construction, comprising four Class F, two Class J, one Class S, and Carriages.— The car stock on Ist April, 1908, consisted of 1,002 cars, and on 31st March, 1909, was 1,116 cars. Fifty-eight new cars were built in Railway Workshops, being four 50 ft. refreshmentcars, six 50 ft. sleeping-cars, and twenty-four 50 ft. day cars for North Island Main Trunk Line ; fourteen Class A cars, and ten 50 ft. postal cars. One worn-out four-wheel car was written off, and replaced with a new standard 50 ft. car.' Fifty-six bogie cars were taken over with the Wellington and Manawatu Railway. The car seating accommodation has been increased 9 per cent, by the additional cars. Equipping cars with lavatory accommodation, cushioned seats in second-class compartments, and platform gates and gangways has been carried out as required.

Wagons. —The wagon stock on Ist April, 1908, comprised 15,142 vehicles, and on 31st March, 1909, the number was 16,120. Two four-wheel horse-boxes destroyed by fire at Waverley were replaced with one bogie horse-box. Two coal hopper-wagons were written off : one was worn out, and the other was_ destroyed through an accident; both were replaced. Six hundred and thirty-six new wagons were built for ordinary traffic, and three hundred and forty-three wagons were taken over with Wellington and Manawatu Railway. The carrying-capacity of wagon stock was increased by 10,776 tons, equal to 9 per cent., or an equivalent of 1,796 ordinary wagons. The following table gives particulars of repairs, &c, to wagon stock for the year : —

In addition to the above, twenty stone-wagons were built for Maintenance Branch. One thousand one hundred and ninety-four wagons are under construction, comprising 65 bogie and 1,129 four-wheelers. Tarpaulins. —The stock on Ist April, 1908, was 11,422 tarpaulins, and on 31st March, 1909, the stock was 12,397 tarpaulins.

Stationary Engines and Cranes. —The repairs and renewals to stationary engines and cranes were as follows :— "

Two 10-ton hand-cranes were taken over with Wellington and Manawatu Railway. Axles. —During the year 1,019 car, van, and wagon axles were replaced with modern steel axles : this number does not include new stock built. The replacement of old iron axles with modern steel axles is being pushed on as expeditiously as possible. The steel axles increase the carrying-capacity of wagons by 2 tons. Westinghouse Brake. —All new engines and rolling-stock built for North Island Main Line and Branches, also for South Island Main Line and Branches, are equipped with the quick-acting Westinghouse brake before being placed in traffic. Efficient arrangements are in force for the upkeep and. examination of the Westinghouse brake. Car-lighting. — The oil-gas manufactured at the five separate Pintsch Gasworks amounted to 5,690,390 cub. ft., costing 2s. 2-44 d. per 100 cub. ft. Carriages lighted with Pintsch gas are being equipped with incandescent inverted mantles as quickly as possible. These mantles have effected a marked improvement in car-lighting, besides being more economical. Workshops. —Various additions to workshop plant and appliances have been effected. The sum of £10,956 was expended on new machinery during the year. Motor-ears. —Cars in service have been kept in good and efficient working-order. Steamers. —The Railway Department's steamers on Lake Wakatipu have been maintained in good order and condition. Retaring Wagons. —When wagons are in workshops for repairs the tare weight is checked ; also, at intervals not exceeding twelve months the tare of all goods-wagons in service is checked and adjusted. Renewals and Replacements. —During the year under review one old worn-out four-wheel car, three old four-wheel brake-vans, two coal hopper-wagons, and 1,627 tarpaulins were condemned and written off ; also, two four-wheel horse-boxes were destroyed by fire. These were respectively replaced with one standard 50 ft. car, three standard bogie brake-vans, two standard coal hopper-wagons, 1,627 new tarpaulins, and one new bogie horse-box. In accordance with the practice of the Department, rolling-stock sold, worn out, or broken up is written off, and replaced with standard vehicles, and the cost debited to working-expenses. Train Running and Mileage. —There has again been a very marked increase in train-mileage. Compared with 1907-8 the increase for 1908-9 is 406,962 train-miles, or equal to 5-77 per cent., and 788,773 engine-miles, being equal to 8-17 per cent. The increased cost per train-mile is due to the increased cost of wages, fuel, and materials. The following table shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile : —

A fair amount of relaying has been done during the past four or five years. It is still desirable, in view of the increase of traffic and in engine-weights, to keep ahead of pressing requirements. Between Ist April, 1899, and 31st March last (ten years) 929 miles of track have beenrelaid, viz.: — New material : — Miles. 56 lb. material (steel) .. .. .. .. .. .. 171 701b. „ .. •■ •• •• •• •• 5954 100 Ib. „„ H Total (new material) .. .. .. .. .. 768 Second-hand 53 lb. and 56 lb. material removed from main line (relaid with 70 lb.) and laid on branch lines, replacing 30 lb. and 40 lb. .. .. 161 Total relaying, Ist April, 1899, to 31st March, 1909 .. .. 929 The expenditure on track renewals, which includes relaying and the provision of new sleepers, during the ten years named amounts to £1,678,526. Sleepers. —During the year 292,549 sleepers were put in the .track. Slips and Floods. —The Foxton branch was flooded in August, interrupting traffic for four days. In July heavy floods were experienced in South Canterbury and Otago, and a heavy snowfall in the latter district, causing delay to traffic and considerable damage to the railway-works. Ballasting. —33s,B9l cubic yards of ballast were used on the track during the year. The plant on the Mount Egmont Branch has been kept fully employed for the moat part in supplying metal for local road authorities.

The Parnell Bridge on one side is completed, and is being used for traffic ; the other half of the bridge is now in hand. Hutt Road and Railway Improvement : These works have been carried on steadily, though slowly, a further length of track having been opened on the 27th September last, and the double line is now in use between Lower Hutt and Ngahauranga. The next portion to Kaiwarra will be ready in about three months. The construction of the road is being proceeded with. Addington-Rolleston : This work is approaching completion, and double-line working will soon be started. Dunedin-Mosgiel: During the year fair progress has been made, the new line between Dunedin and Caversham being nearly completed. The Anderson's Bay Road, King Edward Road, and several other smaller steel bridges have been erected. The new engine-depot at Dunedin, so far as at present required, has been completed.

The work has been commenced at Marton, Ngaio, Tawa Flat, Ngaurukohu, Sockburn, Templeton, Islington, Parnell Tunnel and the rearrangement of Addington, Hornby, and Rolleston to suit doubleline working. The expenditure for the year on new works was £25,213 3s. 7d., and for maintenance £3,450 Bs. lOd. Block Working. The electric train-tablet system of block working has worked with every satisfaction. During the year 130 tablet instruments and 270 miles of line have been fitted and brought into operation, embracing the following sections : Marton to Mataroa, Mataroa to Waiouru, Frankton to Taumarunui, Taumarunui to Waiouru, and Wellington to Longburn (Manawatu line). The following have been converted into switch-out stations : Papatoetoe, Papakura, Paerata, Buckland, Pokino, Whangamarino, Ohinewai, Taupiri, Horotiu, and service siding near Abbotsford. Ballast-siding, Ngawapurua Bridge, and Addington South signal-box have been installed as tablet stations. The equipment of the sections from Woodville to Waipukurau, Pukeuri to Washdyke, Ngahere to Blackball, is in progress. Automatic tablet-exchanging apparatus has been installed at eighty additional stations, and is giving every satisfaction. The Main Trunk line, Wellington to Auckland, is completed, and the equipment of the rest of the main lines not already' installed is well in hand. The installation of the electric lock and block system for double-line working has been completed and brought into operation between Newmarket and Penrose, and the work has been commenced on the double lines between Wellington - Lower Hutt, Christchurch-Rolleston, and ChristchurchHeathcote. Telegraph and Telephone Facilities, and Electric Lighting. During the year 822 miles of wire and 348 miles of poles have been erected and brought into use ; also various alterations and additions have been made to improve existing lines. Thirty-five Morse instruments and 118 telephones have been fixed and brought into operation, twenty-five additional and seven extension connections have been made with the public telephone exchanges, and eight portable telephones brought into use. A number of 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 electric light at stations where installed is giving every satisfaction. During the year electric light has been installed in the workshops at Invercargill, the signals and yards at New Plymouth, signals and stockyards at Ngahauranga, and at Waitara and Te Aroha Stations.

Traffic. Mr. H. Buxton, Chief Traffic Manager, reports as follows:— South Island Main Line and Branches. Revenue £1,241,021 ; an increase of £22,118. The principal items were, — Number.

Goods tonnage .. .. .. .. 2,018,469; increase, 31,960 The variations in the districts were approximately as follows :— Christchurch District. —Revenue, £554,837 ; decrease, £4,163. Passenger traffic shows an increase in all parts of the district. Parcels decreased slightly. Sheep and pigs decreased by 66,300 and 8,300 respectively. Last year the dry season caused a large movement of sheep. Lower prices this year have affected the carriage of pigs. There was an improvement in wool, chaff, firewood, grain, and minerals, but large decreases in timber and merchandise, the net decrease being over 6,000 tons. The decrease in merchandise was chiefly due to the smaller output of frozen meat. Dunedin District. —Revenue, £412,937 ; increase, £19,107. Passengers increased by over 85,000. About half of this increase was in the suburban area. The fine weather experienced during the principal holidays assisted the excursion traffic. Parcels traffic also increased slightly. Live-stock showed an improvement. Lime, chaff, wool, timber, and grain increased ; while firewood, merchandise, coal, and other minerals decreased. The net increase of tonnage was 13,300 tons. The decrease (13,000 tons) in merchandise was due to diversion of shipping from Port Chalmers to Dunedin. Invercargill District. —Revenue, £273, 247 ; increase, £7,174. A general improvement of passenger traffic took place throughout the district. There was a small increase in goods receipts. Wool, grain, coal, and gravel show substantial increases; but chaff, green flax, firewood, timber, and merchandise show a considerable falling-off. Fewer sheep by 24,000 were carried. The local business was good, but the figures of the previous year were swelled by the movement of store stock for depasturage from and to the districts further north which were suffering from want of rain. Lake Wakatipu Steamers. —Revenue, £6,438 ; decrease, £199. Passengers increased, but goods and live-stock traffic were not quite up to the average. A severe winter affected the sheep and rabbit traffic, and the yield of grain was less in consequence of a dry summer. Picton, Nelson, and West Coast Sections. Picton Section. —Revenue, £26,014 ; increase, £872. Increases in passengers, sheep, chaff, wool, and coal. Decreases in firewood, timber, grain! and merchandise. Nelson Section. —Revenue, £21,111 ; increase, £355. The improvement in revenue is due chiefly to increased traffic in timber and minerals. Live-stock, wool, and merchandise increased slightly; but firewood and grain show a falling-off. Westport Section. —Revenue, £102,463 ; increase, £4,483. CQal-exports increased by 35,500 tons. Passenger traffic also shows an improvement. Westland Section. —Revenue. £123,589 ; increase, £2,383. There was a considerable improvement in the passenger traffic, which accounts for the increase of revenue. The staple products, coal and timber, decreased. The abandonment of the Tyneside Mine at Brunner, and the idleness of the Blackball Mine consequent upon labour troubles, were the chief causes f decrease in coal. The completion of the Blackball and Paparoa lines, now in course of construction, will cause considerable expansion of business in the near future. Slackness in the building trade was answerable for a decrease of over 4,000,000 ft. in the timberexport. North Island Main Line and Branches. Revenue, £1,361,019 ; increase, £135,079. The principal items of traffic were, — Number. Number. Passengers .. .. .. .. .. 5,184,254; increase 509,349 Parcels, &c. ..

The approximate earnings of the different divisions were, — Auckland District. —Revenue, £485,900 ; increase, £46,800. Passengers increased by 228,000, chiefly at Auckland and suburban stations. There was a decrease of 5,600 at Onehunga Wharf owing to the diversion of the traffic from the steamers to the Main Trunk line. The visit of the American fleet was responsible for an increase of 70,000 passengers in the local traffic. Parcels traffic increased about 30 per cent. There was a slight falling-off in cattle, but sheep increased by 93,000. All classes of goods traffic (except chaff, green flax, and firewood) show increases. Wanganui District.—The inclusion of the Manawatu line in the Government railway system has entailed some alteration in the method of accounting during the last four months of the year. Comparisons with the figures of the previous year are therefore of little value. The figures which follow include the returns from the stations which were in the Wanganui district prior to the 7th December last. Revenue, £398,500 ; increase, £36,100. There were some local increases in the passenger traffic, but the bookings at New Plymouth fell off by 11,200 passengers as a result of the diversion of the Auckland traffic to the Main Trunk line. There was a large increase in live-stock. Cattle increased by 5,600, and sheep by 280,000. . Grain increased by 4,600 tons, and '.wool by 1,865 tons. Timber showed little variation, but merchandise and minerals decreased slightly. There was a good season for dairy-produce, and the export of butter and cheese increased by 3,200 tons. Wellington-Napier District. —The figures for this district also are affected by the alteration in accounting for through traffic, and they include four months' traffic of the Manawatu line. The revenue was £476,600, an increase of £52,100. There was a very large increase in the number of passengers, over 90,000 additional being carried from stations between Te Aro and Lower Hutt. The Manawatu line added 192,400 passengers. Season tickets also increased considerably. Parcels traffic decreased slightly. There was an increase of 238,000 sheep. Timber decreased on the Wairarapa-Napier line by 8,500,000 ft., owing to local supplies becoming exhausted, and dullness in the building trade. Firewood also decreased. Other classes of traffic show increases due to the inclusion of the Manawatu stations. North of Auckland Sections. Kawakawa Section. —Revenue, £1,990 ; increase, £6. Whangarei Section. —Revenue, £30,486 ; decrease, £80. Increases in passengers, parcels, live-stock, firewood, grain, and merchandise. Decreases in chaff, timber, and minerals. The supply of timber is failing, and the output of coal from the local mines was affected by labour troubles. Kaihu Section. —Revenue, £4,303 ; decrease, £124. The failing timber-supply and the closing of the flax-mills are the causes of falling revenue. Gisborne Section. Revenue, £11,092 ; increase, £2,695. The extension of this line is causing considerable accession of business. The mineral traffic decreased, but there were increases of wool, firewood, timber, and grain. The sheep traffic increased largely.
