RAILWAYS STATEMENT BY THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, THE HON. J. A. MILLAR.

Mr. Speaker,— The presentation of the Railway Statement for the year ending 31st March, 1910, imposes on me the pleasing duty of announcing that the year's operations, when compared with those of the previous year, have on the whole been exceedingly satisfactory. The results may be summarised thus :— Year 1910. Year 1909. £ £ Total earnings ... ... ... ... 3,249,790 2,929,526 Total expenditure ... ... ... ... 2,169,474 2,114,815 Net profit on working ... ... £1, 080,310 £814,711 GENERAL. The mileage of line opened for traffic on the 31st March, 1910, was 2,717, against 2,682 miles for the previous year. The average miles operated during the year was 2,704. The following extensions were opened during the year : — M. oh.

The net revenue, £1,080,316, exceeded that of the previous year by £265,605, and is equal to a return of 3-80 per cent, on the capital, £28,513,476, invested in the open lines, and 3-58 on the total capital, £30,321,191, invested in opened and unopened lines. The cost of working the Kawakawa Section exceeded the gross earnings by £2,958. The net revenue from the Kaihu Section amounted only to £55. The number of train-miles run during the year was 7,889,166, being an increase of 430,930. The increased train-mileage represents additional facilities to meet the requirements of the business and the public convenience, and in round figures has cost £118,500. The major portion of this increased mileage represents services laid on in the North Island on the Thorndon-Longburn, Main Trunk lines, and Auckland Suburban lines. The balance, approximately 32,000 miles, represents additions|to the South Island main line and West Coast services. The following figures, which give the record of the late arrivals of the principal trains during the year, indicate that, notwithstanding the various changes made in the train services, the trains as a whole have maintained punctuality : — Average Late Arrival. Mm. Mm. For long-distance passenger-trains ... ... 215, against 1-29 last year. For suburban trains ... ... ... 048, „ 0-36 „ For long-distance mixed trains ... ... 269, „ 1-88 „ These figures include delays arising from all causes, and embrace accidents, slips, floods, &c. The passenger traffic shows a gratifying increase, the number of ordinary passengers carried being 11,141,142, an increase of 683,998 over the*.previous' year. Season tickets issued numbered 199,371, an increase of 6,824. Workers continue to take advantage of the opportunity afforded them by the workers' tickets to live out in the suburbs; 150,074 such tickets were issued during the year, an increase of 2,585 over last year. 863,838 passengers travelled at holiday excursion fares, an increase of 73,659 when compared with last year, and 115,405 passengers travelled at the school and factory rates. The coaching and goods traffic show substantial increases under each of the headings under which the traffic is grouped, carriages, sheep, chaff, lime &c, firewood and timber excepted. In the coaching the increases have been—parcels, 86,513 ; horses, 1,447 ; dogs, 437 : and in live-stock and goods traffic —cattle, 16,528 head ; pigs, 9,304 head ; wool, 13,135 tons ; grain, 250,675 tons ; merchandise, 9,696 tons ; minerals, 144,073 tons. The decrease in the sheep traffic is 84,727 head ; chaff, lime, &c, 2,764 tons ; firewood, 4,260 tons ; timber, 59,014 tons. The traffic in the agricultural produce class for the first time in the history of the railways totalled over a million tons. The large increase of a quarter of a million tons is accounted for by the late harvest last year and the bountiful early harvest in the current year, which resulted in a considerable portion of the cereals grown in two seasons being presented for carriage by rail during the financial year just ended. The decrease in the sheep traffic is mainly confined to the North Island, and is attributed to the advances in the wool-market making it more profitable for stockowners to hold their sheep for the clip than to dispose of them in a dull meat-market. The traffic has also been affected to some extent by the through carriage between Wellington-Napier-Taranaki and Auckland Sections. Formerly such traffic was driven between the railheads and reconsigned, making two separate transactions for one lot of stock, nominally increased the number of sheep carried. Although the sheep traffic compares unfavourably with that of 1909, it is nevertheless greater by about 500,000 head than the traffic for any other previous year. The decrease in the timber traffic is mainly in respect of water-borne timber on the Canterbury Port lines, and in Westland export traffic—no doubt due to dullness in the building trade in various parts of the Dominion affecting the output and export from the mills. The average number of men employed during the year was 12,224, against 12,505 for the previous year. During the year 266 members of the "resigned, 127 retired on superannuation, 42 died, 128 were dismissed, and 563 engaged.

Twenty-two appeals were heard during the year by the Railway Appeal Boards. Of these, four were upheld, seventeen dismissed, and in one case the punishment was mitigated. Eight members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division. The sum of £9,277 has been paid as compensation during the year under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act. The rolling-stock was augmented by the addition of 4 four-cylinder balanced compound tender engines, Class " X," weighing 94 tons in working trim, designed for the North Island Main Trunk line, and 2 heavy tank engines, built in the Railway Workshops ; also by 8 four-cylinder balanced compound tender engines, weighing 72 tons in working trim, built under contract by Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited) ; 26 new cars, 11 bogie brake-vans, and 1 Fell brake-van; 733 goods-wagons, and 500 new tarpaulins. Eight hundred and forty-seven modern steel axles were placed under cars and wagons in substitution of the old iron axles. The effect of this alteration is to increase the carrying-capacity of each wagon by 2 tons, while giving greater stability to the wagon. The quantity of Pintsch's gas manufactured at the Railway Gasworks was 7,326,780 cub. ft. A large proportion of the cars in which this illuminant is used are fitted with incandescent mantles, which materially improve the light and the remainder of the cars are being fitted as quickly as possible. The sum of £5,612 was expended on new and improved machinery for the workshops. The running of the railway road motor-cars, previously restricted to Culverden - Waiau Ferry, was extended to Hanmer on the Ist November last. A new car has been obtained and put into the service which is meeting all the present requirements of the passenger and mail traffic. The whole of the railway equipment, consisting of rolling-stock, machinery, and appliances, track, bridges, buildings, and other structures has been maintained in a thoroughly efficient condition. One hundred and thirteen miles of track were relaid during the year—eightytwo miles of main line with 70 lb. rails, and thirty-one miles of branch line with 53 lb. steel rails taken out of the main line. Ballast to the extent of 366,242 cubic yards was used in track-maintenance, and 256,647 new sleepers were laid. A considerable number of improvements have been carried out at various stations connected with the railway system throughout the Dominion : they consist of increased accommodation at stations, additions to station buildings, erection of verandahs, provision and extension of sidings, water-services, installation of fireprevention appliances in goods-sheds, erection of stockyards, cranes, houses for staff, improved lighting at stations, workshops, and in yards, strengthening bridges, additional signal appliances, weighbridges, sanitary conveniences, and wharfextensions. Many other works, too numerous to particularise, but having for their object the promotion of the public convenience and efficiency of railway service, were undertaken, and will be pushed on to completion as quickly as possible. Floods that occurred at Gisborne and in the vicinity of Paeroa, Thames, and Waihi during March caused considerable damage to the railway, and necessitated the suspension of the local train services for a few days. As a result of inquiries made and data obtained, an order has been given for the construction of two self-contained motor-cars, which will be built in the Railway Workshops as soon as the machinery required for generating the motive power of the cars arrives. The cars will be tested experimentally, and if found in practice to be suitable to the local requirements, additional cars will be put into service from time to time as the business warrants. Plans and specifications have been prepared for the building of a new twinscrew steel .steamer for the Lake Wakatipu service. The vessel is to be built within the Dominion, and to be delivered on Lake Wakatipu ready in every respect for service after such practical trial as may be required. Tenders will be invited accordingly at an early date.

Considerable advancement has been made during the year in connection with the installation of the signalling and interlocking appliances, which were brought into operation at Kaiwarra, Ngaio, Parnell Tunnel, Ngaurukehu, Tawa Flat, Marton, Paekakariki, Sockburn, Templeton, Islington, and Ngahauranga; and with the schemes for double-line working between Aldington and Rolleston, Kensington and Cattle-yards, and Auckland and Penrose. Seventeen stations were equipped with fixed semaphores ; and Perham's Siding at Rangataua was interlocked with tablet system. The interlocking of Frankton Junction, Blackball, and Caversham is in hand. Fifty-two Tyer's electric tablet instruments were installed and brought into operation on sections Woodville to Waipukurau, Pukeuri to Washdyke, Granity to Stockton. Automatic tablet-exchanger was fitted at forty stations. Electric lock and block for double-line working has been brought into use between Kaiwarra and Lower Hutt and Rolleston-Heathcote double lines. At the end of the year under review there were 1,261 miles of line controlled by the electric tablet, 21 miles by the electric staff and ticket, 12 miles double line by electric lock and block. 1,809 miles of poles and 5,051 miles of wire were comprised in the system of train-signalling, railway telephones and telegraphs. Since 1901 the sum of two hundred and twenty-five thousand eight hundred and seventeen pounds sterling has been spent on these adjuncts to safe railway working. REVENUE. The gross revenue for the year under review amounted to £3,249,790; it exceeded the estimate by £199,790, and the gross revenue for the previous year by £320,264. Passenger revenue shows an increase of £149,380; season tickets, £10,001 ; coaching, £5,545 ; goods and live-stock, £141,843 ;] miscellaneous and rents, £13,495. The receipts per train-mile amounted to 98 - 75 d. as against 94d. for the previous year. The earnings of the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £6,763, as against £6,438 last year. The net earnings, which amounted to £400 per mile for the average number of miles open, exceeding the previous year's net earnings •by £80 per mile, gave a return of 3'Bo per cent, on the capital cost, against 3-13 per cent, for 1909. EXPENDITURE. The expenditure for the year, including £5,139 incurred in connection with the Lake Wakatipu steamers, amounted to £2,169,474, an increase of £54,658 over the previous year; and absorbed 66-76 per cent, of the revenue, as against 7219 per cent, for the previous year : — Expenditure. Per Cent, of Revenue. 1909-10. 1908-9. 1909-10. 1908-9. £ £ Traffic ... ... ... 615,033 605,940 18-96 2073 Locomotive ... ... 833,392 794,260 25-70 27-17 Maintenance ... ... 620,008 656,154 19-12 22-45 Management ... ... 95,902 92,445 2-96 3-16 2,164,335 2,148,799 66-74 7351 Less credit recoveries ... ... 39,042 ... 1-33 2,164,335 2,109,757 6674 72-18 Lake Wakatipu steam ere ... 5,139 5,058 002 001 £2,169,474 £2,114,815 66-76 72-19 The increased expenditure in the Traffic Branch is due to additional trainmileage, extra* staff to carry on the business and operate the safety appliances consequent on the extended hours that trains are now running in the more important districts, increases in of staff under the Classification Act, and the cost of working the Wellington and Manawatu Railway for a full year, against four months only during the year 1909. In the Locomotive Branch the increase is due to the working of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway for a full year, as compared with fourVmonths in 1909, additional staff consequent on longer hours of running, increases in pay, cost of fuel and materials generally.

The cost of Head and Departmental Offices has been affected by the incidental charges previously charged under sectional heading but now charged against management, and the scale increases due to staff under the Classification Act. The cost of maintenance of line, buildings and structures has decreased from £656,154 to £620,008, representing an average expenditure of £229-94, against £257-63 per mile of railway for the previous year. Increased expenditure has been incurred on the Kawakawa Section, £1,947 ; Gisborne, £223 ; North Island main line and branches, £5,010 ; Westport, £599 ; Picton, £876. The cost of maindecreased on the Whangarei Section, £857 ; Kaihu, £381 ; South Island main line and branches, £38,840 ; Westland, £4,179 ; Nelson, £544. Additions and improvements to lines and structures costing £6,093, which might been debited to capital, have been made during the year and charged to working-expenses. The sum of £318,090 was expended under the head " Additions to open lines " and charged to Capital Account. Of this amount, £228,332 was expended on rollingstock, tarpaulins, snow-plough for North Island Main Trunk Railway, Halley motorcar for Hanmer service, and machinery for workshops. The rolling-stock in respect to which the charges are made consists of 13 locomotives, 22 carriages, 11 brakevans, 34 bogie and 649 four-wheeled wagons, and 500 tarpaulins completed on the 31st March, 1910; and 32 locomotives, 62 carriages, 17 brake-vans, 47 bogie and 1,245 four-wheeled wagons, and 325 tarpaulins incomplete but in hand on that date. £89,758 was spent in tablet, signals and interlocking, telegraph and telephone extensions, purchase of land, bridge-work, sidings, wharves, reclamation-work, turntables, electric lighting and gas installation, Kakahi Sawmill, fencing, steamnavvy, stone-crushing plant, excavating-machine, additions to workshops, station buildings and dwellings, &c. DUPLICATION OF LINES.

meeting all the Commissioners of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia, these being the only States that time would permit of my visiting. I was met with the greatest courtesy by the Commissioners, who went out of their way to afford me all information possible, much of which was of great value to myself, and, I believe, will be of advantage to the administration of the Railway Department of New Zealand. It was somewhat difficult owing to the varying conditions in the several States to make an absolute comparison with New Zealand, but there is no doubt that all the States I visited possess advantages over this Dominion. Briefly stated these are :— In New South Wales, coal, which is a very important factor in railway working, costs at least 60 per cent, less than coal can be obtained for in New Zealand, whilst in Victoria it is at least 33 per cent, lower. Then, again, the physical features and vastness of the Australian Continent, the position of its ports and principal markets, induces very long hauls of the traffic. This of itself is of material advantage from the standpoint of economical service. In most of the Australian States one central management can work the whole system, owing to the whole of the lines of the system being directly connected with the main centre of each State. In contradistinction to this we have in New Zealand ten separate sections divided from each other by considerable distances, and we are compelled to have several complete sets of departmental officers. Our chief sections consist only of one of 1,322 miles, and another of 1,073 miles. Many miles of these lines run in close proximity to the seaboard, and have to contend with keen sea competition. Our numerous harbours within short distances of each other influence the length of rail haul, which is invariably for short distances only ; the geographical configuration of the country and the position of our principal cities and important provincial towns are such as to preclude the likelihood of long-haul traffic being obtained to any extent. Again, the centralization of population in large cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane permit of most effective and cheap methods of dealing with the suburban traffic, which are unattainable in New Zealand's large centres with thfir present populations. For instance, Flinders Street Station, in Melbourne, alone deals with nearly 150,000 people daily, who come into the metropolis by the morning trains and return to their homes at night. In Sydney a somewhat similar position is found, but there is also in addition a valuable adjunct in their tramways system, which forms a part of the railway system of that State. Altogether there are 11,114 miles of railway in the one Southern and three Eastern States, forming in effect one great connected system affording the means of direct communication and interchange of the products of one State with the other. I ascertained from the Australian Commissioners the method adopted by them in dealing with the railway accounts, the average amount of money expended in maintenance, the conditions under which their employees work, and also the salaries and wages paid to them. This information I propose to submit to the House when it will be seen that, all things considered, our charges in the aggregate are lower for the carriage of the natural products of the country. It will also be seen that our passenger rates generally compare favourably with those in Australia, whilst the salaries, wages, and conditions of railway employment in New Zealand are more desirable than those obtaining in Australia. The amount expended in New Zealand on the maintenance and renewal of track, charged to revenue, is much greater per mile than in Australia; moreover, our rolling-stock, taken all round, compares quite favourably with that in use in Australia. Taking into consideration all the natural difficulties existing in New Zealand, and also the fact that no system of railway management- is successful in giving universal satisfaction, I venture, after impartially surveying Australia from a railway point of view, to express the opinion that having regard to the consideration given to the producers' interests, and the extent to which our railways have during the past fifteen years of State management in New Zealand been used as a means of developing the Dominion, the New Zealand system will compare favourably with the railway systems in other parts of the world, and I have no hesitation in saying that in no part of the world does the question of the safety of the travelling public receive more careful consideration.

CONCLUDING KEMARKS AND FOEECABT. Considerable progress has been made with the various duplication works in hand at the close of the last financial year. The Auckland-Penrose line has been completed and brought into use, and alterations to Auckland passenger-yard and station, necessitated by the opening of the double line, have been carried out. The duplicated section of the Hutt Railway between Ngahauranga and Kaiwarra has been opened, and two tracks are now regularly used daily by trains running between Lower Hutt and Kaiwarra. The construction of the new main road is well in hand, and it is anticipated that the whole works—railway and road—will be practically completed during the coming financial year. The Addington-Rolleston duplication has been completed and opened for traffic. The Caversham Tunnel has been completed, and the new track between Dunedin and Cattle-yards has been opened for single-line working. The Chain Hill Tunnel has been commenced, and the work generally in connection with the duplication of the line between Dunedin and Mosgiel is being pushed on as fast as circumstances will permit. Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of the Thames, have now completed their contract to build and deliver 20 Class " A " four-cylinder balanced compound tender engines. The whole of the engines built by the firm under their various contracts have been up to standard and specification, and given highly satisfactory results in practical every-day work. The same firm were successful tenderers in respect of a further contract to build 10 Class " A " four-cylinder balanced compound locomotives, and it is anticipated that some of these locomotives will be delivered during the financial year 1910-11. The Railway Workshops are engaged in building 2 Class " X," 10 Class " B," and 20 Class " Wg " locomotives, which, added to those to be manufactured by Messrs. Price, makes a total of 42 locomotives now under order. Sixty-two bogiecars, 18 bogie brake-vans, 47 bogie and 1,212 four-wheeled wagons, are also under construction in the Railway Workshops. Considerable attention has recently been devoted in America to the question of engine failures, and many of the American Railroad Companies are now keeping records of the mileage run for each locomotive breakdown. There is, however, great dissimilarity in the basis adopted by the roads concerned ; some take cognisance of failures involving a delay of two minutes or over in case of a passenger train, and five minutes or over in respect of a goods train ; others deal only with failures involving delays of 5 minutes or more to a passenger train and twenty minutes or more to a goods train. There is equally as great a divergence of opinion in regard to what constitutes good locomotive service ; some Roads consider 5,000 miles per failure is satisfactory, others require a standard of 16,000 miles for goods-train and 20,000 miles for passenger services. The subject being of importance, the following particulars of the results achieved on our own railways during the past two years will be of interest: For the year 1908-9, 24,462 engine miles were run for each failure on the Auckland Section,' 46,897 engine miles for each failure on the Wellington - Napier - New Plymouth line, and 69,594 engine miles for each failure on the HurunuiBluff Section. During the year 1909-10 there were no failures on the Kaihu Section, 26,766 miles were run for each failure on Kawakawa Section, 15,362 miles for each failure on Whangarei Section, 27,274 miles for each failure on Gisborne Section, 35,344 miles for each failure on North Island Main Trunk line, 127,272 miles for each failure on South Island Main Trunk line and branches, 18,168 miles for each failure on Picton Section, 38,673 miles for each failure on Nelson Section, 209,882 miles for each failure on Westport Section, and 26,545 miles for each failure on the Westland Section. Taking the whole railway system, 48,990 miles were run for every enginefailure that occurred. Judged on the basis adopted by American Roads it must be conceded that New Zealand results, which include every failure occurring to engines employed in running-train services, irrespective of the period of train-delay, constitute a very good record. The arrangements made for booking passengers through between , stations in North and South Islands have been found to be a convenience and to give satisfaction, as does also the through checking of luggage, in connection with which a contract has been let for the carting of checked luggage between the ferry-boat and the Wellington Railway-station. The total charge made is 2d. per package of checked luggage, and is in (strong contrast with the rate ordinarily levied by carters for a between the railway-stations and, I,have no doubt that as the advantage of the system becomes more generally known, it will be availed of to a much greater extent than at present,

D.—2

To further facilitate the handling and transport of passengers' luggage, arrangements have been made with the Department's Wellington contractors whereby they will collect itt starting stations, check, and deliver at the final destination packages of bona fide Luggage belonging to passengers journeying by train, or by train and steamer. A passenger booked from Auckland, or other town in the North Island, to a town in the South Island or vice versa can therefore, if he elects, hand over his luggage to the Contractor at Auckland, and have it carted to station, checked, and delivered by the Contractor to his address in the South Island on payment of such cartage charges as are mutually agreed upon by the passenger and Contractor. The Contractor will perform the whole or any part of the services stated—that is, he will collect and check at starting station, handing checks to passenger, leaving him to make his own arrangements for delivery at final destination, or if checks are handed to him by passenger he will take delivery and cart- luggage to address given on its arrival at destination. In order to check luggage through it is, of course, essential that the passenger holds a ticket for the actual points between which he desires to check. Where ticket is not held when luggage is collected, the Contractor will collect the fare and hand the person concerned an order to be exchanged at the bookingoffice window for a ticket for the journey to be made. By this means the convenience of the passenger is fully met, and the interests of the railway are conserved. Since 1895 196 locomotives, 642 passenger-carriages, 163 brake-vans, and 8,589 wagons have been added to the rolling-stock equipment of the lines. These additions have increased the tractive power by 211 per cent., the passenger-seating accommodation by 174 per cent., wagon-carrying capacity by 166 per cent, compared with the position in 1895. To provide still further for meeting the demands of the prospective increase of traffic that will inevitably follow closely upon the settlement now taking place along the railway routes, arrangements have been made to construct the following rollingstock for the year 1910-11 : 19 bogie-cars, 6 bogie brake-vans, 6 bogie and 875 foiirwheeled wagons. The total rolling-stock actually on order at the present time is, therefore, 42 locomotives, 81 bogie-cars, 24 bogie brake-vans, 53 bogie and ?087 fourwheeled wagons. Nine hundred and ninety-six persons were, on 31st March, in the enjoyment of benefits accruing to them from the Government Railways Superannuation Fund. The sum involved represented an annual charge of £48,468 Bs. lid., and is payable in respect of 622 contributors who have retired voluntarily on account of being medically unfit, 140 widows, and 234 children under the age of fourteen. The accumulated fund now amounts to £173,876 Is. Bd. Since the inception of the Fund on Ist January, 1903, 107 beneficiaries have died, 7 retired as medically unfit recovered and resumed duty, 14 widows remarried, 5 widows and 4 children under fourteen years of age died, and 77 childrenfhave attained the age of fourteen years ; the annual liability of the Fund has thus been reduced by £8,329. Owing to the financial depression which existed in the early part of last year affecting the revenues of the Department, it was regretfully found necessary to make some retrenchment, as the outlook at that time did not justify the Department in continuing the expenditure at the rate then existing. The retrenchment thus forced upon the Department prevented the usual number of promotions being made and necessitated expenditure on account of increases in salary and wages being accordingly restricted to the limits of the Act. The completion of the special building programme for the North Island Main Trunk Line also resulted in a reduction of hands in the different workshops, but with the returning prosperity which is now evident it will be necessary to make provision for the estimated increase of trade, and this, it is hoped, will enable the Department to re-employ some of those men who, unfortunately, had to be retrenched. During last session it was stated that the railwaymen in the Second Division were desirous of being brought under the Arbitration Act, and I intimated that if this were so they would be given an opportunity of voting on the question. Accordingly the Executive of the Amalgamated of Railway Servants, which represents the Second Division of the service, have been requested on more than one occasion

during the past few months to give an authoritative pronouncement on the questici. Having now intimated that they were taking a vote on the question, the arrangements I had made for the Department to take a ballot are being held in abeyance to enable the society to complete its undertaking and notify result. During the past few months I have been approached on several occasions by representatives of the Locomotive Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners' Association, with a view to obtaining recognition of their society. I arranged to discuss the matter with delegates representing the Locomotive Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners' Association and Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants. The parties failed to come to any mutual understanding, and, subsequent negotiations having failed, the Locomotive Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners' Association has renewed the request for recognition. They are still endeavouring to arrange for a modus vivendi in the direction of providing for direct representation of the Locomotive Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners' Association on the Board of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, and Parliament will, I anticipate, have an opportunity this session of dealing with the matter. The visit of Lord Kitchener to the Dominion was the only event of an historical character that occurred during the year, and, in addition to conveying the ordinary passenger traffic, the Department carried ? 7,974 cadets and officers and 6,952 Volunteers, and a large number of horses, to and from the various encampments and manoeuvring-grounds. I have devoted considerable attention to the important question of the economies that could be effected in the working of our railways by a judicious expenditure incurred in reducing grades and flattening curves on the principal main lines, thus enabling full advantage to be taken of the great power of the locomotives running thereon. A very large expenditure has been incurred during recent years in relaying track with heavy metals, respacing sleepers, and strengthening bridges, for the purpose of enabling heavy rolling-stock to be utilised ; also in the construction of rolling-stock with increased carrying-capacity and locomotives of increased weight and tractive power. The maximum load of the largest locomotives being governed by the steepest grade the train has to traverse during any portion of the journey, a considerable loss of haulage-power over many miles of line not infrequently results from the existence of one severe grade, and a second engine or train has to be employed to overtake work that could otherwise be efficiently performed by the one engine. It will readily be understood that in such circumstances the full benefit is not being derived from the expenditure already incurred in improving the lines and rolling-stock, and that a considerable reduction could be made in the operating-expenses by reducing grades and curves, thus enabling the locomotives to haul heavier trains and so materially reduce the train-mileage and its attendant expenses for fuel, stores, staff, &c. The restrictive effect exercised by grades on the loads of trains is clearly demonstrated in and will be readily understood by a perusal of the following figures, which give the hauling-capacity of a locomotive exerting a tractive force of 15,330 lb. on the grades specified : — Hauling-capacity in Tons at a Speed of Grade. 20 Miles per Houi. 1 in 30 ... ... ... ... ... ... 125 1 in 40 ... ... ... ... ... ... 175 1 in 50 ... ... ... ... ... ... 210 1 in 60 ... ... ... ... ... ... 245 1 in 70 ... ... ... ... ... ... 280 1 in 80 ... ... ... ... ... ... 305 1 in 100 ... ... ... ... ... . 355 It will be seen that the engine-load is 68 per cent, greater on a grade of 1 in 50 than 1 in 30 ; 60 per cent, greater on a grade of 1 in 70 than on a grade of lin 40; 45 per cent, greater on a grade of lin 80 than on a grade of lin 50; and 69 per cent, greater on a grade of 1 in 100 than on a grade of 1 in 50.

There are at the present moment no less than 35 miles 71 chains of grade steeper than 1 in 40 ; 79 miles 36 chains of grade between lin 40 and linso ; 68 miles 41 chains of grade between 1 in 50 and 1 in 60 ; 90 miles 40 chains of grade between lin 60 and lin 70; 59 miles 72 chains of grade between lin 70 and 1 in 80 ; 30 miles 52 chains of grade between lin 80 and lin9o ; 29 miles 41 chains of grade between 1 in 90 and lin 99: making a total of 394 miles 33 chains of grades steeper than 1 in 100 on the principal main lines of the Dominion. About 250 miles of these grades occur on the trunk lines connecting Auckland with Invercargill, the balance on the Eotorua, Thames, New Plymouth, and Napier lines. As these lines are traversed daily by the major portion of our train-services, the baneful influence the grades have on the operating-capacity and working-expenses will be at once apparent. The continued expansion of railway traffic renders it essential that works such as are referred to which will contribute to safe and economical operation of the lines, be remunerative in character, and materially increase the efficiency and capacity of the existing lines, should be put in hand at the earliest possible date. I therefore recommend that a special vote be, taken for the purpose of these works, and that the sum of £25,000 annually be spent in reducing grades and otherwise improving the alignment of the trunk lines, commencing with the Auckland-Wellington Main Trunk line and afterwards continuing on the Kotorua, New Plymouth, Napier, and Hurunui-Bluff lines in order of importance. The table of engine-loads, and practical experience in connection with the Milburn bank in the South Island, indicate clearly that a considerable reduction in train-mileage, with corresponding saving in operating-expenses for all time, will result from carrying out the proposals. Other material advantages incidental to the work will be-— (1.) .Removal of necessity for double-heading a large number of trains; (2.) Quicker transport of traffic consequent on increasing hauling-capacity of locomotives; (3.) Increased capacity of rolling-stock owing to reduction of time taken in transport of traffic; (4.) Eeduction in train and engine mileage, fuel and stores ; (5.) Saving in operating-expenses, which on the basis of existing business is estimated at .£25,000 per annum when the trunk-line grades are reduced, and will be an increasing amount as traffic expands and grades on other lines enumerated are lowered; (6.) Increasing the capacity of existing lines, thus providing for largely increasing business, and delaying for many years the time when extensive duplication of portions of the main lines will be necessary. Preliminary surveys and plans dealing with the reduction of grades and improvement of curves on those portions of the North Island Main Trunk line, on which it is desirable operations for reductions should first commence, have been completed. It is proposed that the grades shall be reduced to a minimum of 1 in 70 on straight roads and 1 in 80 on curves, and the radius of curves shall be flattened to 1 in 15 where practicable and 1 in 12 where it is found that the cost of flattening to 1 in 15 would be excessive. One of the first works undertaken by the original Board of Commissioners, over which Mr. Eddy presided, in New South Wales, was the reduction of grades and improvement of curves. Considerably over £2,000,000 was spent in carryingout the alterations, which have been highly remunerative to the Department, and at the present time about £480,000 is being spent in deviating the track over the Blue Mountains to cut out the well-known Zig-zag, and enable still further advantage to be obtained from the previous expenditure. A computation of the benefits accruing from the alterations made some years ago showed that at least £100,000 per annum was being saved at the end of five years; that saving has since steadily increased with business, and the results accruing from the expenditure incurred have fully justified and amply repaid the outlay. I earnestly commend these proposals to the careful consideration of the House, being firmly convinced that if effect is given thereto the financial results

will fully justify my recommendation, and the convenience of the public will be greatly increased. With a view of securing a more uniform system of working the railway traffic throughout the various sections in the Dominion, I invited a conference of District Traffic Managers to be held in Wellington with the Chief Traffic Manager, when many important matters were discussed. The results of this conference will, I think, be of benefit not only to the officers themselves, but to the public with whom they have to deal. It is my intention to hold such conferences with the General Manager and the chief officers of the different Departments from time to time. 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 81st March of the present year:— 31st March, 31st March, T Per Cent of 1895. 1910. increase.

I estimate the revenue at £3,250,000, and the expenditure at £2,223,275. In conclusion, I may remark that with the proposed reduction of grades, the increased hauling-power of our engines, and the additional rolling-stock that will shortly be available, I hope that the Department will be able to continue paying its own interest, and I am confident that the policy proposed will enable further facilities to be granted to the people of the Dominion, either in the direction of improved services, the acceleration of the speed of trains, or by making reductions in rates, thereby enabling the railways to carry out to the fullest extent their function in assisting the further opening up and development of our country.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE (GENERAL MANAGER OF NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways, Head Office, Sir,— Wellington, 30th June, 1910. I have the honour to report upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended the 31st March.. 1910. The capital cost has increased from £27,762,592 to £28,513,476. The revenue was £3,249,790, as against £2,929,526 last year. The expenditure for the year under review has been £2,169,474 against £2,114,815, an increase of £54,659. The rate of interest on capital was £3 165., as compared with £3 2s. 7d. last year. The revenue per train-mile was Bs. 2fd. and the expenditure ss. 6d., as compared with 7s. 10d. and ss. Bd. respectively last year. The following extensions were opened during the year : — M. Ch. Wayby-Wellsford 3 18 Waikohu Extension .. .. .. .. . . 0 42 Ruatapu-Ross .. .. .. .. .. .. 7 19 Riversdale-Switzers .. .. .. .. .. 13 67 Waihoaka-Tuatapere .. . . . . .. .. ..87 Catlin's-Houipapa . . . . .. .. . . .. 2 30 35 23 The total mileage added to the system was thus 35 miles 23 chains, making the total mileage open for traffic on the 31st March, 1910, 2,717 miles, as against 2,682 at the close of the previous year. During the year 11,141,142 ordinary passengers were carried, yielding a revenue of £1,070,790, and 199,371 season tickets were issued, the revenue derived therefrom being £100,249. There was thus an increase of 683,998 ordinary passengers and £149,380 revenue, and of 6,824 season tickets and £10,001 revenue, over the traffic carried under these heads during the previous year. 61,728 children and teachers and 53,677 adults travelled by school and factory excursions during the year, the revenue derived therefrom being £7,965. 863,838 passengers travelled at holiday excursion fares, yielding a revenue of £211,133, an increase of 73,659 excursionists and £44,662 revenue as compared with the previous year. The coaching and goods traffic has been well maintained during the year, and shows increases under all Leads with the exception of carriages, sheep, chaff, lime &c, firewood and timber. Increases. Coaching. —Parcels, 86,513 ; horses, 1,447 ; dogs, 437. Eevenue, £5,545.

Goods.— Sheep, 84,727 head ; chaff, lime, &c, 2,764 tons ; firewood, 4,260 tons ; timber, 59,014 tons. In December last a second express train each way was put on between Wellington and Auckland, but, with the exception of the duration of the Christmas holiday period, the traffic did not prove sufficient to warrant its retention, and it was discontinued early in January. Since the 6th December last the Welllington-Napier mail trains have been run via Palmerston North. The Invercargill-Christchurch express trains have been further accelerated, and, in conjunct inn with the fast ferry-boat " Maori," provide a through connection between Invercargill and Auckland on three days a week. The acquisition of the Wellington and Manawatu Railway has had satisfactory results, and enables traffic from the East and West Coast and Main Trunk lines, which formerly had to be conveyed at a great expense by way of the Wairarapa and over the Rimutaka Incline when consigned " via Government line," to be diverted to the shorter and more economical route via Longburn. Since the line was taken over very considerable additions have been made in the train-services and accommodation at stations and sidings. Heavy floods experienced on the Gisborne Section and Auckland District during MaTch disorganized the train-services on the Te Aroha - Thames - Waihi and Gisborne lines, necessitating suspension of train-running operations for some days. On the Kingston-Invercargill line a straying bullock was struck by the engine of a south-bound mixed train, which was badly derailed, and the engine-driver was slightly injured. No one else was, however, hurt. Good progress continues to be made in the work of equipping the hues with electric tablet interlocking, telegraphs and telephones, automatic tablet-exchangers, and semaphores. The lock-and-Uo:k system for double lines has also been brought into operation ' where suitable circumstances and conditions obtained. Altogether the tablet system is now in operation on 1,261 miles of railway, and the lock-and-block on 13 miles of track.

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 done and in hand being as follows : — Locomotives. —The number of engines in service on Ist April, 1909, was 452, and the number on 31st March, 1910, was 465. Fourteen new engines were added to stock, and one tank engine was sold to Westport Harbour Board. Of the fourteen new engines added to the stock, six were built in the Government Railway Workshops, and comprised four Class X, 94-ton tender engines, four-cylinder " balanced-compound " type, specially designed and built for the North Island Main Trunk line, and two Class Wf heavy tank engines ; eight Class A, 72-ton tender engines, four-cylinder " balancedcompound " type, were completed under the contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames. In the Government Railway Workshops to date 79 engines have been built, and 24 old locomotives have been rebuilt to more modern types. Five hundred and eighty-nine locomotives passed through the workshops during the year, details being as under : —

Included in above are eight engines for Public Works Department. At close of year there were under construction in the Government Railway workshops two Class X 94-ton tender engines, four-cylinder " balanced-compound " type, ten heavy tender engines, and twenty large tank engines. During the year a contract was entered into with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames, to construct ten large engines and tenders complete of the four-cylinder " balanced-compound " type, so that altogether there were in hand at the close of year forty-two new locomotive engines. During the year the contract entered into with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames, to construct twenty Class A, 72-ton tender engines, four-cylinder " balanced-compound " type, was completed, and the engines delivered, being in every respect up to specification. The new locomotives added, together with boiler-renewals, increased the total tractive power by 297,384 lb., equal to 5-77 per cent. ; the new engines building and boilers under construction will, when completed, still further largely augment the tractive power. Boilers. —The work on new boilers, renewals, and boiler-repairs has been kept well up to date. Thirteen new locomotive boilers were completed. The following are details of boiler-work : —

Forty - three new boilers are under construction, comprising 10 Class B, 3 Class D, 3 Class F, 1 Class J, 2 Class P, 3 Class R, 1 Class S, and 20 Class Wo. Carriages. —The car-stock on Ist April, 1909, consisted of 1,116 cars, and on 31st March, 1910, was 1,140 cars. Two cars were destroyed by a fire at Fairlie Station, and were replaced with two new cars, and twenty-four new cars were built and added to stock. Equipping cars with lavatory accommodation, cushioned seats in second-class compartments, and platform gates and gangways has made satisfactory progress during the year, the work being carried out as required.

The following table gives details of repairs, &c, to cars during the year : —

Sixty-two new bogie carriages are under construction in Eailway Workshops. Brake-vans. —The number of brake-vans on Ist April. 1909, was 356, and the number on 31st March. 1910, was 367. Twelve new bTake-vans were built, comprising eleven bogie and one Fell van. One old brake-van was written off, and replaced with a bogie brake-van. The repairs, &c, to brake-vans were as follows : —

Eighteen new bogie brake-vans are under construction in Railway Workshops. Wagons. —-The wagon stock on Ist April, 1909, comprised 16,120 vehicles, and on 31st March, 191U, the number was 16,853. Two wagons were written of! : one was worn out, and the other destroyed through an accident ; both were replaced. Seven hundred and thirty-three wagons were built for ordinary traffic, and five wagons were built for Napier Harbour Board. The carrying-capacity of wagon stock was increased by 7,059 tons, equal to 5£ per cent., or an equivalent of 1,177 ordinary wagons. The following table gives particulars of repairs, &c, to wagon stock for year : —

One thousand two hundred and fifty-nine wagons are under construction, comprising 47 bogie and 1,212 four-wheel wagons. Tarpaulins. —The stock on Ist April, 1909, was 12,397 tarpaulins, and on 31st March, 1910, the number was 12,897 tarpaulins. Five hundred new tarpaulins were made and added to stock ; 1.890 worn-out tarpaulins were written off, and replaced with a similar number of new tarpaulins. The following table gives details of the work on tarpaulins for the year : —

There were 325 new tarpaulins in hand at close of year.

Stationary Engines uml Crane*. The repairs and renewals to stationary engines and cranes were as follows : —

Axles. —During the year 847 car, van. and wagon axles were replaced with modern steel axles: this number does not include new stock. The replacement of old iron axles with modern sled axles is being pushed on as expeditiously as possible. The steel axles increase the carrying-capacity of fourwheeled wagons by 2 tons. The sides and ends of high-sided wagons are being raised to enable full loads of coal to be carried, and this will further increase the usefulness of the wagon stock. Weslinghouse Brake. —All new engines and rolling-stock built for North and South [elands Main Lines and Branches are equipped with the quick-acting Westinghouse brake before being placed in traffic. Efficient arrangements are in force for examination and upkeep of the Westinghouse brake. Car-lighting. The oil-gas manufactured a 1 the five separate Pintsch Gasworks amounted to 7,326.780 cub. ft., costing 2s. 2-73 d. per 100 cub. ft. A large number of cars has been equipped with incandescent mantles, and the work on the remaining cars is being pushed on as quickly as possible. Motor-cars. —Cars in service have been kept in good and efficient order. One new car was added tn stock during the year. Steamers. —The Railway Department's si earners on Lake Wakatipu have been maintained in good order and condition. Retaring Wagons. —Whenever wagons are in workshops for repairs tare weight is checked, and adjusted when necessary ; also, at intervals not exceeding twelve months the tare weight of .ill goodswagons in service is checked and adjusted. Cattle and Sheep Wagons. —New cattle and sheep wagons are all fitted with grated floors, and the older wagons are also being provided as quickly as practicable with the grated floors, considerable progress having been made therewith. Grated floors for wagons carrying live-stock have been found to be a very greal improvement. Renewals and Replacements. —During the year under review two bogie cars were destroyed by fire at Fairlie Station ; one old four-wheel brake-van, two coal hopper-wagons, and 1,890 worn-out tarpaulins were written off stock. These were respectively replaced with two 50 ft. standard cars, one 30 ft. bogie brake-van, two 8-ton standard coal hopper-wagons, and 1,890 new tarpaulins. In accordance with the practice of the Department, rolling-stock destroyed, sold, or worn out is written off, and replaced with standard vehicles, and the cost debited to working-expenses. Train Running and Mileage. —-There has again been a marked increase in train-mileage. Compared with 1908-9 the increase for 1909-10 is 430,930 train-miles, or equal to 5-78 per cent., and 236,958 engine-miles, being equal to 2-27 per cent. There has been a reduction in the total cost per train-mile. The following table shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile : —■

Maintenance. Mr. J. Burnett, Chief Engineer, reports as follows :■— Permanent-way. —The track has been maintained in good condition. During the past, financial year relaying with heavier rails has been carried out as follows : — Miles. Main line, 5:5 lb. and 56 lb.. relaid with 701b. steel material .. .. 82 Branch lines, 30 lb. and 40 lb.. relaid with second-hand 53 lb., <fee., steel material removed from main line .. .. . ■ • • .. 31 Total relaying for the year. . .. .. .. ..113

The electric train-tablet system of block working has worked with every satisfaction. During the year 52 tablet instruments and 103 miles of line have been fitted and brought into operation, embracing the following sections : Woodvilleto Waipukurau, Pukeuri to Washdyke, Granity to Stockton. The following have also been installed as tablet stations : Ngaurukehu, Birchfield, and Bushy Ballast-pit. The equipment of the sections Gore to Invercargill and Ngahere to Blackball is in progress. Automatic tablet-exchanging apparatus has been installed at forty additional stations, and is giving every satisfaction. The installation of the electric lock and block system for double-line working has been completed and brought into operation between Lower Hutt and Kaiwana, and the work is in hand on the double lines between Christchurch-Rolleston and Christchurch Beathcote. Telegraph «m/ T</<-/>li<)n, Facilities, <in<l Electric Lighting. During the year 2U7 miles of wire and 157 miles of poles have been erected and brought into use; also various alterations and additions have been made to improve existing lines.

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 at Thorndon and Norman by Stations and Cattleyards Station, and signals. The expenditure on the electric block working, telegraph and telephone facilities, and electric lighting for the year was, — a b. <).

Mr. H. Buxton, Chief Traffic Manager, reports as follows :— Kawakaua Section. Revenue, £2,932 ; increase, £942. There were increases in all classes of traffic, except coal. The export of coal from the local mine has now ceased. Flax and timber traffic has improved. The revenue was materially assisted by the construction-work in progress. Whangarei Section. Revenue, £28,386 ; decrease, £2,100. The bulk of the decrease was in log-timber traffic. There was also a slight decrease in the output of coal. Passenger revenue was slightly less than for the previous year, when there were local attractions which were not again provided.

K'lilni Section. Revenue, '- 1,319 ; increase, £ 16. The variation was due bo a slight improvement in passenger and parcels traffic. Gisborne Section. Revenue, £12,956 ; increase, £1,864. Tin-chief increase was in gravel traffic. Sheep, chaff, and wool also showed improvement, but there was little variation in other items. North Island Mam Line and Branches. Revenue, £1,566,251 : increase, £205,232. The principal items of traffic were, Number. Number.

Id.), and per train-mile from 7s. 2.1 d. to 7s. 6d. The variations of traffic in the different districts were approximately as Follows: Auckland District. Receipts, £575,724 ; increase, £89,824. There wen- large increases in all classes of traffic. There was an increase of over 200,000 passengers, chiefly in the Auckland suburban area and south of Taumarunui. The inclusion of two Easter periods in the year under review counterbalanced to some extent the unusual attraction caused by the visit of the American Fleet in the previous year. The increase of season tickets is chief)\ on the northern line. The issue of workers' tickets in Auckland and suburbs has increased from 16,248 in 1906 to 23,146 last year. There was a large increase in parcels traffic, mainly consequent upon the connection with the lines in the southern portion of the Island. Cattle increased 13,237, and pigs by 9,000, but there is an apparent falling-off in the number of sheep. This falling-off is caused by the through railage of sheep which were formerly driven for a part of the journey and reloaded in the Auckland District. During the past five years the live-stock traffic in the Auckland District has almost doubled in volume. Chaff, &c. increased 8,806 tons, wool 1,170 tons, firewood 2,960 tons, grain 8,905 tons, merchandise ">,721 tons, and coal 34,656 tons. Timber, and minerals other than coal, showed small decreases. The shipments of butter from Onehunga increased by 1,000 tons, and in addition the direct shipments from Auckland were considerably greater than during the previous year. The district is very prosperous, and the business is expanding rapidly. Wiinganui District. —Revenue, £334,317 ; decrease, £64,202. The decrease is only apparent, and is owing to the rearrangement of the districts. Taking the restricted district and comparing ii with the same portion for last year an increase of £9,719 is shown, being chiefly derived from stations on the main trunk line. The passenger traffic shows a slight falling-off as compared with the previous year, during the greater part of which the passenger traffic to and from Auckland went via New Plymouth. Local traffic continues to improve except at Wanganui, where the installation of electric trams has reduced the Wanganui-Aramoho traffic. In parcels traffic a steady increase is shown. There was a considerable falling-off in sheep and pigs from the northern portion of the district. Cattle, however, improved. Increases are shown in the tonnage of wool, grain, and road-metal. Decreases are shown in chaff firewood, timber, merchandise, and coal. Butter shipped at New Plymouth and Patea shows a decrease of 960 tons, but cheese shipped at the same ports increased by 2,588 tons. Wellington District.—Revenue, £656,210 ; increase, £179,610 The increase is due largely to the inclusion in this district of the line from Wellington to Palmerston North. In the absence of details of the traffic on the Manawatu Company's line prior to its acquisition, comparisons with the figures for the previous year are of little value. The passenger traffic shows an increase of 458,749 ordinary passengers, the major part of which is represented by the traffic on the Manawatu line. There is also an increase in the suburban traffic on the Hutt line, except at Te Aro. Season tickets show a corresponding improvement. There was a general increase in the parcels traffic throughout the district. Larger numbers of cattle and pigs were carried, but sheep show a decrease of over 70,000. Chaff. &c, and wool show considerable increases, but timber and coal show a falling-off. I'icton Section. Revenue, £28,554 ; increase, £2,539. Increases in passengers, live-stock, chaff, grain, and merchandise. Decreases in wool, firewood, (amber, and coal.

Nelson Section. Revenue, £23,359 ; increase, £2,248. Passenger traffic improved slightly, but there were decreases in chaff, firewood, timber, and gravel. The establishment of freezing-works is responsible for an improvement in the sheep traffic, and the visits of ocean-steamers for the mutton have improved the exports of other produce. The acquisition of the private; wharves has resulted in increased revenue from wharfage charges. Westport Section. Revenue, £116,028 ; increase, £13,565. The principal feature of the business was an increase of 103,533 tons of coal. There was an unusual demand in consequence of the temporary stoppage of the mines in New South Wales. The traffic in mining-props increased. The Wax business also revived ; but sawn timber decreased slightly. fVestland Section. Revenue, £129,649; increase, £6,060. Of the increase, £2,726 was in passenger traffic, due chiefly to increase of settlement. There was an increase of nearly 23,000 tons in the coal-export. The output is expected to be much larger when new mines in course of development are in full working-order. There was a decrease of 9,000 tons of timber ; but the business has recently shown signs of recovery. The mileage of this section increased from 130 to 138 by the opening of the section from Ruatapu to Ross. The business on the Ross line has been veiy light so far. South Island Main Line and Branches. Revenue, £1,330,563 ; increase, £89,542. The principal items were. Number. Number.

Id.), and per brain-mile from 7s. lljd. to Bs. 6d. The traffic expenses decreased as follows : Pel rent, of revenue, from £22*90 to £20-76; per mile of cailway, from £220:25 to £210-82 : per train mile, from 21-81 d. to 2117 d. The particulars of traffic in the different districts are as follows : Christchurch District. Revenue, £584,008; increase, £29,171. There was an increase of 80,000 passengers. Improvement was shown in all parts of the district, luit more especially in the vicinity of Christchurch. Cattle decreased slightly, l>ut sheep show an increase of nearly 50,000, and pigs of 3,400. There was aii increase of 135,000 tons of grain, due to some extent to an early season. Wool also showed an improvement, bul chaff, firewood, and timber decreased. Dunedin District.—Revenue, £442.759 ; increase, £29,822. Passengers increased by about 100.Q00. The increase was largely within the suburban area. Parcels t raffic also improved. Sheep traffic increased by nearly 90,000, pigs improved slightly, but cattle showed no improvement. The traffic in locally grown fruit was about the same as last year. Wool, grain, and merchandise show considerable increases, timber also improved slightly ; but ehan I . firewood, and coal show a falling-off. The use of electric power in Dunedin has adversely affected the local coal traffic. Invercargill District. Revenue, £303,796 ; increase, £30,549. Passengers increased by about 50,000, chiefly at excursion fares' though there was a general improvemeni in the local traffic throughout the district. Parcels traffic shows an improvement. About 55,000 sheep more than for the previous year were carried. Wool shows a substantial increase, and there were also increases in timber, merchandise, and coal; bul chaff, firewood, and road-metal decreased. There was an increase of over 60,000 tons of grain. Nearly the whole of the 1909 grain crop wan carried during the year, as well as a considerable portion of the 1910 crop. It is probable, therefore that the grain-tonnage for current year will show some decrease. Lake, WakatijM Steamers. Revenue, £6,763 ; increase, £325. There was a decrease of 881 passengers, due principally to a falling-off in week-end excursions. Parcels traffic shows a good increase. There was an increase of 4,700 sheep. Goods traffic generally, except firewood, shows improvement. The principal item. 265 tons of bridge-timber, is traffic of a non-recurrent character.
