PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT. BY THE HON. RODERICK McKENZIE, MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS. 16th OCTOBER, 1911.
Mb. Speaker,— In submitting the annual Statement of the operations of the Public Works Department and the proposals for the current year, I may congratulate the House on the substantial progress made with our public works during last year. TOTAL BXPENDITUEE. The total expenditure, though not quite equal to that of the previous year, was still very satisfactory, being no less than £2,190,954 —namely, under the Public Works Fund and separate accounts £2,109,851, and under the Consolidated Fund £81,103. The following table shows, as regards the Public Works Fund and separate accounts, (a) the total expenditure since the inauguration of the public-works policy to the 31st December, 1890; (b) the similar expenditure between the Ist January, 1891, and the 31st March, 1911; (c) the gross total expenditure to the 31st March, 1911; and (d) the expenditure for the late financial year: —

WAYS AND MEANS. At the 31st March, 1910, the available ways and means for public-works purposes were .... .... .... .... .... £312,366 and further funds were received as under:— Under the Loans Acts of 1909 .... .... 350,002 Under the Aid to Public Works and Land Settlement Act, 1910 ... .... .... 1,568,350 Under the New Zealand Loans Act, 1908 .... 66,390 Transfer from Consolidated Fund .... .... 800,000 Miscellaneous receipts .... .... .... 6,506 Making a gross total of .... .... £3,103,614 The ordinary expenditure of the year amounted to £1,892,851 ; debentures redeemed, £225; charges and expenses in respect of raising loans, £66,367; other charges, £4,126; thus bringing the total disbursements up to £1,963,569, and leaving a credit balance at the end of the year of £1,140,045. For the current year it is proposed to provide additional funds as under: — Balance of 1910 loan .... .... .... £181,650 Proposed loan of 1911 .... .... .... 1,500,000 Under the Aid to Water-power Works Act, 1910 500,000 Transfer from Consolidated Fund .... .... 500,000 Special provision for irrigation-works (section 20, Appropriation Act, 1910) .... .... 100,000 The above, with the balance brought forward, gives a gross total of £3,921,695. The estimated expenditure for public works for the current year (excluding separate accounts having their own ways and means) amounts to £2,921,000, leaving an estimated balance of £1,000,095 to be carried forward to next year. RAILWAY-CONSTEUCTION. The following sections of railway were opened for traffic during the last financial year or since its close :— M. oh. Opened. Hukerenuito Towai ... ... 4 30 ... 2nd May, 1910.

The total expenditure on rail way-works last year amounted to £1,183,033, made up as under : — £ Construction of new lines ... ... ... ... 743,145 Additions to open lines ... ... ... ... 360,926 Wellington-Hutt Railway Duplication ... ... ... 19,511 Railways Improvements Account ... ... ... 60,351 Total ... ... ... ... ... £1,183,933 I will now give a brief account of what has been done on the several railways which have been in hand during the year, and state what is proposed regarding each for the current year. Kaihu Extension. The formation on this line, carried out some years ago by the Kaihu Valley Eailway Company, has all been resurveyed and the line relocated. The widening and completion of the formation is now well in hand, and a start is about to be made with the erection of the bridges. Tenders for the bridges were invited, but the result was not satisfactory, and it has accordingly been decided to carry out the work under the direct control of the Department's Eesident Engineer. The expenditure during last financial year was small—namely, £2,327 ; but for the current year a vote of £15,000 is asked for. Kawakawa-Hokianga. Very satisfactory progress has been made with the works on this line, and ground has been broken at intervals over nearly the whole of the authorized section, and rail-laying at the Kawakawa end has been begun. Such good headway having been made, it will be desirable to have the second section of the line —namely, from Kaikohe to Horeke—authorized during the present session, and provision for this will be made in the Railways Authorization Bill accordingly. The expenditure on the line during last financial year amounted to £13,119, and for the current year a vote of £60,000 is asked for. X A W AX AWA-G EAH AMTOWN. This railway is now open for traffic for the whole distance between Kawakawa and Whangarei. The section between Hukerenui and Towai was opened in May, 1910, and the remainder of the line between Towai and Kawakawa on 13th April last. The extension from Whangarei to deep water at Grahamtown, including the Grahamtown Wharf, has also just been finished, and was handed over to the Railway Department for regular working on the 2nd instant. Last year's expenditure on this railway amounted to £65,936. For the current year a vote of £15,000 is required to meet the expenditure which has taken place since 31st March last, and to provide for a few finishing works. North Auckland. An exceptionally good year's work has been done on this railway. The section between Wellsford and Te Hana, 3 miles 27 chains, was opened for traffic on the 16th May, 1910, and the further section to Kaiwaka, 8 miles 65 chains, is approaching completion, the rails being iiqw laid into the Kaiwaka Station. The Ross Hill Tunnel was also completed and lined during the year. Work on the Otamatea and Bickerstaffe sections has been vigorously proceeded with, and contracts let for the Otamatea Bridge at Young's Point, and for a shipping wharf at the same place. A commencement has been made with the Bickerstaffe Tunnel, and the Maungaturoto Tunnel will shortly be taken in hand. The permanent survey of the line from Maungaturoto to McCarroll's Gap is proceeding and making satisfactory progress. It is proposed to ask Parliament to authorize a further extension of the line—namely, from McCarroll's Gap to the left bank of the Wairoa River, in the Maungaru Survey District—being an additional length of about twenty-five miles. This extension will connect with the Wairoa River, and thus enable water-borne freight to be brought to the railway from a considerable distance.
D.—l

As soon as a suitable length of the railway at the Wairoa Eiver end can be surveyed, it is proposed to put construction in hand at that end and work southwards, so as to meet the construction parties already working from Te Hana northwards. The expenditure on the North Auckland Railway during the previous financial year was stated to be a record, but I am glad to say that last year's expenditure was even larger, having amounted to no less than .£73,042. For the current year a vote of £120,000 is proposed, Honourable members will recollect that during last recess a Eoyal Commission was appointed to inquire as to the best route for the extension of this railway north of McCarroll's Gap, and it is very pleasing to me to be able to announce that the Commission, after going very exhaustively into the matter and taking a large amount of evidence, came to a unanimous conclusion— namely, that the railway should be expeditiously constructed to a junction with the section of the Kawakawa-Hokianga Railway, now in course of construction between Kawakawa and Kaikohe, by a route lying to the westward of the Tangihua Range. The Commissioners report that the route selected traverses throughout its entire length a large area of rich pastoral land of uniform quality capable of carrying a large population when removed from its present isolation. I have already stated that provision will be made in the Railways Authorization Bill to sanction the construction of the first portion of the line recommended by the Commission. HtJNTLY-AwABOA. Honourable members will recollect that the construction of the first section of this railway, three miles in length, was authorized last session. A contract for the large combined road and railway bridge over the Waikato River has been let, and the work is now in progress. The survey of the remainder of the threemiles section has been started so that construction-works thereon can shortly be commenced. It is also proposed to ask Parliament during the present session to authorize a further section of the line, about four miles and a half in length. This extension, besides opening up much valuable coal-bearing country, will be in the direction of an easy saddle which exists towards the Waingaro and Raglan country, so that a further extension of the line in that direction will be practicable at a later date. Only a very small sum came to charge against last year's vote, but for the present year an appropriation of ,£20,000 will be required. Raetihi-Main Trunk. The opening of the North Island Main Trunk Railway has led to a considerable development of the sawmilling industry between Ohakune and Raetihi, and urgent representations have been made to the Government as to the necessity of a branch line of railway from either Ohakune or Rangataua to enable the numerous sawmills to gain access to the railway system, and also to connect the agricultural district of Raetihi with the Trunk line. Provision will accordingly be made in this year's Railways Authorization Bill for the construction of a branch railway for a distance of about nine miles. A vote of £15,000 is included in the-estimates to make a commencement with the work. East Coast Main Trunk. In my last year's Statement I mentioned that a commencement had been made with the section of this railway from Maunganui Bluff (Tauranga) to Te Puke. The formation-works on this section are now nearly finished, rail-laying has been begun, and a locomotive and ballast-wagons have been sent to Tauranga for use in ballasting the line. An extension of the line from Te Puke to Paengaroa was authorized last year, and this section is now being surveyed. As the construction-works will be of an easy character, it will not take very long to complete the formation, and it
D.—l
V
is consequently desirable to have a further section authorized during the present session, and provision for this will be made in the Railways Authorization Bill. It is also proposed to put in hand a section of the line becween Waihi and Tauranga—namely, from Waihi to Athenree; also a westerly extension of the line already in course of construction, near Tauranga, as far as the right bank of the Wairoa River, a length of about eight miles. Provision for these extensions will be made in the Eailways Authorization Bill. On the Gisborne-Motu division of the railway a very large amount of work has been done. I mentioned last year that ballast-trains were being run as far as the Otoko Viaduct, but that they could not proceed beyond that point pending the completion of that structure. To enable rail-laying to be proceeded with, a cable-way was constructed across the Otoko Gorge, and by this means a locomotive was transported to the farther side of the river, and platelaying carried on for an additional four miles and a half. The viaduct is now nearing completion, and as soon as it is available for traffic ballasting can proceed for a considerable distance ahead. A very large amount of work has been done on the Eakaaroa and Matawai sections, and the formation now extends considerably beyond the Summit at 41 miles—namely, as far as the 43-mile peg. I mentioned last session that the expenditure during the previous financial year had been by far the largest on this line since the works were started, hut during last year the amount was even larger. In the Eailways Authorization Bill, 1910, provision was made for the construction of a section of the line from G-isborne towards Napier, and since its authorization a considerable amount of survey has been done, and during the present year it is proposed to put formation work in hand. It is intended this year to ask the House to authorize a section of the line from Napier towards Gisborne, and in anticipation of this being approved a surveyor has been sent to undertake the location of the first section. The expenditure on the different divisions of the Kast Coast Main Trunk Railway during last financial year was as under:— £ Tauranga-Paengaroa ... ... ... ... ... ... 15,292 Gisborne-Motu ... ... ... ... ... ... 68,668 Napier-Gisborne ... ... ... ... ... ... 131 For the current year the following votes are proposed: — £ Waihi-Tauranga ... ... ... ... ... ... 15,000 Tauranga-Paengaroa ... ... ... ... ... ... 30,000 Gisborne-Motu ... ... ... ... ... ... 85,000 Napier-Gisborne — North end ... ... ... ... ... ... 15,000 South end .. ... .. ... ... ... 20,000 Stbatfobd - Main Trunk. Very good progress has been made with the works on this line. The section between Huiroa and Te Wera was opened for traffic on the'2oth June, 1910, and the further section to Pohokura is finished, but is being rebained by the Public Works Department in consequence of its being required in connection with the construction of the next section. Goods and passengers are, however, being regularly conveyed not*only to Pohokura, but to the foot of the Whangamomona saddle on the next section, so that the settlers are reaping the benefit of railway communication. The Whangamomona Tunnel, which is over 30 chains in length, is proceeding satisfactorily, tbe bottom "headings" having already met, and enlarging to full size and lining is now being pushed on. Clearing and fencing on the Tahora section have been commenced, and the location survey of a further extension is in hand. Survey-work has also been in hand for some time at the eastern end of the line, and construction operations will be undertaken as soon as a section of convenient length has been finally located. The expenditure on this line last year amounted to £76,234, and for the current year I am asking for a vote of £100,000.

Mount Eomont Branch. The survey of the extension to the quarry-site is now finished, and clearing work lias been undertaken, not only on this section but also on the rope-incline road, and some earthworks are now in hand. The expenditure last year was .£BB2. For the current year a vote of £15,000 is provided. South Island Main Tbink. At the north end of this line the section between Seddon and Ward has been completed, and was opened for traffic on 15th April last, and considerable progress has been made with the formation of the Mirza section. Work has also been begun on the section to the Ure River authorized last session. It will be necessary to authorize a further section this year, and provision will accordingly be made in the Railways Authorization Bill for extending the line to the south side of the Kekerangu River, about eight miles and a half beyond the Ure River. At the south cud the section between Domett and Mina was completed and handed over to the Railway Department in August, 1910, and good progress has been made with the Parnassus section. The large combined road and railway bridge over the Waiau-ua River has been completed, and is already in use for road traffic. A commencement has also been made with the formation on the Mendip section, which was authorized last session. At this end of the line, also, it will be desirable to authorize a further extension, and provision will accordingly be made in the Railways Authorization Bill for another section, about ten miles in length, extending as far as the confluence of the Charwell and Conway rivers. Last year's expenditure on the railway amounted to £51,587 — namely, ,£21,111 at the north end and £30,476 at the south end. For the current year it is proposed to ask for a vote of £55,000 —namely, £'20,000 for the north end and £35,000 for the south end. Midland. At the Nelson end of this line the section between Kiwi and Tui has been finished, but as a matter of departmental convenience is still retained by the Public Works Department, though traffic for the settlers is being run over it. The work on the Glenhope section is also approaching completion, and it is expected that this section will be available for traffic about March next, when the whole line to Glenhope will be handed over to the Railway Department for regular working. A commencement will shortly be made on the further section between Glenhope and the confluence of the Hope and Buller rivers, the location survey of which is well in hand. It is proposed to ask for an authorization of another section of this line, about nine miles in length —namely, to the confluence of the Owen and Buller rivers, and provision for this will be made in the Railways Authorization Bill. At the Reefton end the section between Cronadun and the Inangahua Landing is practically finished, and work is in hand between the Landing and the Inangahua Junction. The exact site of the Junction Station has not at present been fixed, but surveys are now in hand to determine the best point for the crossing of the Buller River, as on this the question of the location of the Junction Station largely depends. A great deal of work has been done on the Canterbury-Westland portion of the line. In the Arthur's Pass Tunnel the " heading " has been driven for a total distance of lm. 6Weh., leaving 3m. 37 eh. yet to be pierced, and nearly a mile and a half has been enlarged to the full size and lined. A good deal of work has also been done outside the tunnel, and at the Otira end the embankment has now reached the bed of the Otira River, and some groins and protective works have been constructed. Some bank-formation has also been done at the Bealey end. Between Broken River and the tunnel the works have been in hand under the co-operative principle, and very satisfactory progress has been made. The
D.—l
VII
section between Broken Eiver and the Cass, 15 m. 22 eh. in length, was opened for traffic in December last, and a further section eleven miles long is approaching completion and is expected to be ready for traffic about the end of the current financial year. This section includes the bridges over the Cass and Waimakariri Rivers, and will carry the line up to the Bealey Valley, and reduce the distance which will have to be travelled by coach between the railheads to about fifteen miles. The expenditure on the different sections of the Midland Railway during the year was as under :— Nelson end ... ... ... ... ... ... . 23,861 Eeetton end ... ... ... ... ... . ... 15,675 Otira-Bealey... ... ... ... ... ... ... 73,179 Broken Eiver-Bealey... ... ... ... . ... 38,913 Total ... ... ... . . ... ... £151,628 For the current year the following appropriations are proposed: — Nelson end ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 35,000 Eeefton end ... ... ... ... .. ... ... 20,000 Otira-Bealey... ... ... ... . ... 90,000 Broken Eiver-Bealey... ... ... ... ... ... 50,000 Total £195,000 W kstport-Inanuaiiua. The first section of this railway between Westport and Te Kuha, 5 m. 74 eh., is finished, except the station-buildings, which are well in hand. On the completion of these buildings the section will be handed over to the Railway Department for regular working. Beyond Te Kuba the work is in progress for rather more than three miles, partly on the co-operative system and partly under small contracts let by public tender. The work is making ver} 7 satisfactory progress, and it will be necessary to ask this year for the authorization of a further section of the railway, and provision will be made for this in the Railways Authorization Bill. The expenditure last year was £18,557, and for the current year a vote of £30,000 is asked for. Ngahere-Blackball . 'I'his railway has been open for traffic for some time, but a good deal of work was done upon it last year, the expenditure having amounted to over £11,000. A few completion-works remained to be executed on :*lst March last, and a small vote of £2,000 to provide for these is included in the estimates. Gbeymouth - Point Elizabeth. The main line of this railway is complete with the exception of the centre rail, but some little work yet remains to be done on the back-shunt at the end of the line, where extensive slips have occurred. The whole railway will, however, be in working-order by the time the new State mine is in a position to put out coal. The expenditure last year amounted to £47,081, and for the current year a vote of £25,000 is asked for, and will be sufficient to complete the line. Ross-Mikonui. The local authorities in the Westland District—including the County Council, the Kumara, Hokitika, and Ross Borough Councils, the Hokitika Harbour Board, and the South Westland Railway League—have for sometime past asked for an extension of the railway from Ross to Waitaha, and the Government, after carefully considering the matter, proposes to undertake the first section of the line —namely, as far as Mikonui, a distance of about four miles. Formal authority for the construction of the line will be asked for in the Railways Authorization Bill, and a vote of £5,000 on account of the cost is
D.—l
VIII
included in the estimates. This line will provide an outlet for a very large quantity of milling-timber as well as opening up a considerable area of agricultural land. Waimate Branch Extension. Petitions have from time to time been presented to Parliament praying for an extension of the Waimate Branch Railway from its present terminus at the Waihao Downs to Waihaorunga, and it is considered that the time has now arrived for the work to be taken in hand. Provision for a suitable extension of the line will accordingly be made in the Railways Authorization Bill, and a vote of .£5,000 has been included in the estimates to make a commencement with the work. Lawrence-Roxburgh. The section between Lawrence and Big Hill, 7m. 37 eh. in length, was handed over to the Railway Department for regular working in October, 1910. Work in the Big Hill Tunnel is now in hand, and the construction of the line to Beaumont is making satisfactory progress. The expenditure last year amounted to £3,894, and for the current year a vote of £'20,000 is provided. Catlin's -Waimahaka. At the Catlin's end of the line the Papatupu section—3 m. 42 eh.—-has been completed, but is retained by the Public Works Department for the present so as to facilitate the transport of ballast from the Houipapa Quarry to the sections of the line under construction. Further substantial progress has been made with the work on the Puketiio and Papatowai sections. The rails are now laid to Puketiro Station, three miles and three-quarters beyond Papatupu. So well are the works proceeding that it will be necessary to authorize a further section of the line during the present session, and provision will accordingly be made in the Railways Authorization Bill for a five-miles extension to near the confluence of the Back Creek with the Tahakopa River. At the Waimahaka end the section from Waimahaka to Tokanui has been completed, and was recently handed over to the Railway Department for regular working. It is proposed to ask the House to sanction the construction of a further section of the line in the direction of Catlin's—namely, from Tokanui to Block XII, Mokoreta Survey District, a length of about five miles and a half. The expenditure on the railway last year amounted to £56,592, and for the current year a vote of £80,000 is asked for—viz., £60,000 for the east end and £20,000 for the west end. Winton-Heddon Bush. For many years past the Government has been pressed to connect the rich agricultural district of Heddon Bush with the railway system, and it is felt that this very reasonable request cannot any longer be denied. The line from Winton to Heddon Bush would be of very moderate length, and as the country is exceedingly favourable for railway-construction it is believed it can be built for less than £4,000 per mile. Provision for it will therefore be made in the Railways Authorization Bill, and a vote of £10,000 as a first instalment of the cost of its construction has been included in the estimates. Orepuki-Waiau Extension. Even before the completion of the line to the Waiau (Tuatapere) an agitation arose for its extension to Waicola and Orawia, but as there was some doub;t as to the best route for the extension the matter was allowed to remain in abeyance for a time. It is now proposed to extend the line to Orawia, and provision for such extension will be made in the Railways Authorization Bill. A vote of £5,000 for the line appears in the estimates.

Total Appropriations for Railway-construction. In addition to the votes already mentioned, an appropriation of £110,000 is required for permanent-way materials for all lines ; also £2,500 for land-claims and liabilities on account of votes of previous years which have not been renewed ; also a vote of £2,500 for surveys of new lines, making the total proposed vote for railway-construction purposes £1,083,000. Other Railway-works. During the year under review the sum of £248,075 was spent in providing additional rolling-stock and workshop machinery for the working railways, and £112,851 in tablet appliances, signals and interlocking, telegraph and telephone extensions, water-services, sidings, wharves, reclamation-work, dwellings, reduction of grades and improving of curves, and additions to station accommodation, making the total expenditure under the heading " Additions to Open Lines " £360,926. Considerable progress has been made with the Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication, and gangs of men are now engaged in the tunnel and formation-work between Burnside and Mosgiel. The expenditure last year on railway duplications and contingent works was £95,347, made up as follows : — £ Wellington-Hutt duplication-works .... .... 19,511 New Hutt Road, including land for same .... 15,485 Auckland-Penrose duplication-works .... .... 75 Addington-Rolleston duplication-works.... .... "1,805 Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication and deviation of line 58,471 £95,347 For the current year provision has been made on the estimates to the extent of £85,324, namely :— & Wellington-Hutt duplication-works .... .... 1,324 New Hutt Road .... .... .... .... 14,000 Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication and deviation of line 70,000 £85,324 The amount proposed to be voted for the current year for " Additions to Open Lines " is £370,000, of which the sum of £225,000 is for new rolling-stock and additions to workshops machinery, and £20,000 for the new steamer for Lake Wakatipu. DEVELOPMENT OF WATER-POWEE. In pursuance of the intention announced in my last year's Statement, to appoint an Electrical Engineer, Mr. Evan Parry has been appointed to the position, and entered on his duties in July last. Much preliminary work has been carried out in connection with the Lake Coleridge scheme. The available market for power in the Canterbury District has been investigated and the requirements ascertained, and plans and specifications are in course of preparation for works to provide for an ultimate demand of 10,000-horse power, and tenders will shortly be invited for a first instalment of the plant. Arrangements are being made for completing the first section of the works in two years. It is estimated that a capital expenditure of about £375,000 will be required to efficiently instal the full 10,000-horse-power plant, and that when installed the district between Rangiora in the north and Timaru in the south can be supplied with electrical energy, with branch lines to the different farming centres. It is hoped to make the system serviceable to country residents as well as to the inhabitants and industries of the cities and larger towns. In this we have very striking precedents in Switzerland, France, Germany, and, latterly in England, where farms and cottages in rural districts are supplied with electricity for lighting and power purposes at cheap rates.

The estimates of capital outlay and operating-expenses indicate that power can be supplied at about £6 10s. per horse-power per year for wholesale supply for distribution and for factories. Although the Lake Coleridge system is the first in importance owing to the urgent demand for an adequate supply of power in the city and suburbs of Christchurch, other available sources of electrical energy are receiving attention. An investigation of the available market in the Whangarei district, where hydro-electric power is available from the Wairua Falls, has been made, with satisfactory results, and preliminary steps are about to be taken for the development of power from those falls and from Lake Waikaremoana. The Electrical Engineer will visit both sources of power at an early date. It is of fundamental importance for the future development of this work that the fullest possible information should be collected with regard to the rainfalls and variations in flow of our principal rivers over an extended number of years. This information is essential in order that, as the population and the markets develop, accurate and reliable estimates may be formed of the waterpower available to meet the demands. For this purpose gauginga will be undertaken of all rivers and streams which are likely to be put under control. BAIL WAY ELECTRIFICATION. The conditions pertaining to the electrification of the Christchurch-Lyt-telton Railway are being investigated, and the requirements ascertained. It is anticipated that with a supply of power available from Lake Coleridge the conversion from steam to electric working will be profitable, and tenders for the work will be invited in due course with a view to its completion as soon as possible after the supply of current becomes available. After the application of electricity to the working of this line, its application to other sections will be considered. In the meantime all information on the subject is being collated, and the progress of electrification of railways in other countries is being carefully watched. In view of the rapid extension of electric working in France, Germany, Switzerland, Norway, United States, and England, it is intended to make a systematic study of the traffic and train movements throughout the Dominion, with the object of ascertaining definitely the power requirements of the different sections.' In other countries the electric working of railways, which has previously been limited to suburban services, is now being extended to main and branch lines, not only where the traffic is heavy, but also on lines with a comparatively infrequent service. The Department is consequently studying the application of electricity not only to suburban services, where its usefulness is undoubted, but also as an alternative to regrading, which is proving necessary on many of the main lines in order to cope with the increasing traffic. The use of electric traction would dispense with the necessity of regrading in a great many cases, inasmuch as steeper grades can be worked with electric haulage and at higher speeds than with steam-engines. On new lines also it would be possible to reduce the cost of construction considerably, and to expedite the work by the adoption of higher ruling maximum gradients than are possible with steam haulage, but which can be advantageously operated electrically. IRBIGATION AND WATER-SUPPLY. The surveys and explorations in connection with irrigation-works in Otago have been vigorously proceeded with during the year. In the Ida Valley, the irrigable area is divisible into several sections, each section requiring different treatment. It is intended to deal first with the southern section, which contains some of the best land, and the surface characteristics of which are such as to render it suitable for irrigation with a minimum of expense. The water required for this portion can be obtained directly by gravitation, the chief sources of supply being the Manorburn and the Poolburn, in each of which it is proposed to erect two dams at favourable
D.—l.
XI
points in their upper reaches. One of the reservoirs will have a capacity of approximately 1,400 million cubic feet. The others, though not of such large proportions, will still be of very considerable extent, the total area of water impounded being 2,887 acres of varying depths up to 78 ft. As the rainfall in this region has in the past shown remarkable fluctuations, being in the years of greatest precipitation as much as two and a half times that of other years, it is probable that the dams which will be constructed will not till all at once, and possibly not for a year or two ; but when once filled there will be a large surplus from wet seasons available to assist during dry years. With the water available we expect to irrigate about 16,000 acres by gravitation. It will be possible, by pumping up the surplus water which will run off after the irrigation of the higher parts of the valley, to irrigate a second block situated lower down the valley; and, after some years of constant application of large bodies of water have caused the ground-water level throughout the valley to rise, a third area may even be served by pumping from the same source. As the water is being brought from the Manorburn into the Ida Valley district it falls, in one case, 220 ft. in a distance of 13 chains. This would be a good site for a hydro-electric-power station, from which power could be transmitted and used in pumping water from the Manuherikia River to irrigate a further section of the Ida Valley. The Cromwell Flat is a locality for the irrigation of which there has been an agitation for many years. The water of the Roaring Meg has been retained by the Government, and can be used by direct gravitation to serve practically the whole flat; and although, owing to the extreme porosity of the soil, it may be necessary to pipe a great many of the distributaries, the scheme has promising features. The landowners will be invited to enter into the agreements required by the Public Works Act, with a view to this scheme being authorized at an early date. The water-rights of the Last Chance Gold-mining Company have been purchased, which will render water available for the irrigation of such country as is suitable in the locality of Bald Hill Flat. The flat ground between Clyde and Alexandra, also the Moutere Flat and the Galloway Flat, for the irrigation of which there has been a great deal of local agitation, can probably be served from the Manuherikia River, and without expensive impounding-reservoirs. The irrigation of the Maniototo Plain is also being considered. With the water that could be impounded in the Serpentine Reservoir (10,000 million cubic feet) it would be possible to irrigate at least 65,000 acres of land, after making a liberal allowance for probable loss by evaporation, seepage, and waste; and, in the conveyance of this water from the reservoir to the land to be irrigated, power to the extent of about 9,000-horse power can be generated, which could be transmitted electrically to pump residual water to irrigate a further area, or used for industrial purposes. Coming now to the work which has been actually accomplished : The first scheme to be completed was the irrigation of the Steward Settlement, an area of over 21,000 acres lying immediately south of the Waitaki River. The water for this area is taken from the Waitaki, a never-failing source of supply, and led by means of a branching system of distributaries so as to command every section (except one small one) on the settlement. In carrying out the scheme, sixty-three miles of races were constructed, ranging from 18 in. to 12 ft. in width. To reduce the fall and prevent scour, forty-two masonry overfalls were constructed, and the races, where they run'over terraces, varying in height from 5 ft. to 30 ft., have been lined with concrete. Though the bulk of the races were not constructed in time for last year's harvest, a few of the settlers were able to make use of the water towards the end of the season, and the effect upon the crops was excellent. A portion of the Otekaike Settlement on the western side of the Otekaike River, and lying between the foothills and the Waitaki River, was surveyed, and a scheme of irrigation drawn up and put in hand. The whole of the main race, five miles in length, has been finished, and the major part of the distributaries
D.-l
XII
necessary to serve approximately 1,000 acres is almost completed, so that the water will be available during the ensuing irrigating season. The supply for this scheme is from the Otekaike River, in which the water disappears under the shingle for many months in the year. In order, therefore, to insure a supply during the period required, it was decided to bring the main race from a point some miles above the land to be irrigated where the river is confined in a rockbound gorge. Even there the bottom of the gorge is covered with over 10 ft. of shingle carrying much water. Here a coffer-dam was constructed and the shingle excavated down to solid rock, and a concrete diverting-weir built so that all the water flowing might be available. This was a work of considerable difficulty owing to the very porous nature of the shingle and the large quantity of water flowing therein. The water now runs freely from the intake to the end of the furthest distributary, even when only one Government head of water is turned through the intake sluice-gate. There are some splendid areas of land admirably situated for irrigation at various points along the Waitaki Kiver which are well worth consideration. In connection with irrigation generally, accurate gaugings of the Taieri and Manuherikia Kivers have been taken at high, low, and mean levels of the rivers, and, in the case of the Taieri, at many intermediate stages. The expenditure last year amounted to £7,980, of which the expenses in connection with the Steward Settlement and Otekaike schemes, amounting to £6,418, were charged to the Lands and Education Departments, and £1,562 spent in survey-work in connection with the Ida Valley and other schemes to the special vote for irrigation and water-supply. The vote proposed for the current year under this latter heading in the estimates now submitted is i' 30,000. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The total expenditure on public buildings last year amounted to £432,750, being a considerable increase on that of the previous year. This was owing to the great expansion of business throughout the Dominion. The amount is made up as under : — £ New buildings (Class XX, Public Works Fund) .... 325,613 Maintenance-works (Class V, Consolidated Fund).... 49,566 Maintenance-works (Schools), (Class XV, Consolidated Fund) .... .... .... .... 57,571 £432,750 For the current year the following appropriations are proposed : — £ New buildings (Public Works Fund) .... .... 449,000 Maintenance-works (Consolidated Fund) .... .... 53,977 Maintenance-works (Schools), (Consolidated Fund) 90,300 £593,277 General. Under this head provision is made for-continuing work on the Cliristchurch and Invercargill departmental buildings ; for new Government Buildings at Hamilton, Gisborne, New Plymouth, and Masterton; for the completion of the Government Buildings at Hokitika ; for new offices for the Stamps and Native Departments in Wellington ; for making a commencement with the new Parliament Buildings ; and for sundry other items. In connection with the new Parliament Buildings, competitive designs were invited from architects practising within the Dominion, and four premiums, ranging from £1,000 to £200, were offered. The invitation met with a spirited response, and by 31st August, the closing date of the competition, thirty-three designs of a high average order of merit were received. In accordance with the conditions governing the competition, the Government secured the services of Colonel W. L. Vernon, formerly Government Architect of New South Wales,
__>.—1
XIII
and a distinguished member of his profession, to act as assessor and award the premiums. Colonel Vernon went very carefully into the merits of the various designs, and his report has already been published. Judicial. Courthouses. —The principal works undertaken were new buildings at Taumarunui, Opotiki, Waverley, and Petone ; and additions at Gisborne and Timaru. For the current year votes are asked for new buildings at Kaitaia, Kaikohe, Waipu, Auckland, Otorohanga, Ohakune, Eaetihi, Wanganui, Masterton, Takaka, Greymouth, Cheviot, and Methven; for additions at Hamilton and New Plymouth ; and for converting the police-station at Warkworth into a Courthouse. Gaols. —The principal expenditure last year was in connection with the new wing at Mount Eden, Auckland, the gaol at Invercargill, and the policegaol at Gisborne. The new votes include warders' cottages at Invercargill and Wellington, and provision for a reformatory farm. Police-stations. —The expenditure under this head was chiefly in connection with the erection or purchase of country and suburban stations. Owing to the increase of population in newly settled districts and the need of better buildings in the older settlements, a number of new structures were required, and during the year new stations were completed at Wellsford, Parnell, Frankton, Pongaroa, Otaki. Jolmsonville, Motueka, Blackball, Greymouth (police-gaol), and South Invercargill. Substantial additions were made at other stations, and suitable residential properties were purchased at Reinuera, Waitara, and New Plymouth (Fitzroy). Sites for new stations were also acquired in different localities. On this year's estimates provision is being asked for the erection of a number of very necessary buildings, some of them to replace rented premises, which are frequently inconvenient, and are responsible for a somewhat large annual charge against the Police Department. Among the more important works that are being proceeded with under last year's votes, and which will soon be completed, are additions to the Mount Cook (Wellington) Police-barracks, and a gymnasium and other accommodation at the Police-training Depot at Wellington South. Post and Telegraph. The expenditure on Post and Telegraph buildings is on the increase. The largest outlay last year occurred in connection with the new General Post Office in Wellington and the new Chief Post-office in Auckland, the expenditure on these two buildings during the year having amounted to £66,777. Other important offices that have been in hand are those at Helensville, Avondale, Mount Roskill, Frankton, Wairoa, Bull's, Westport, Waiau, Christchurch (Ferry Road), Addington, Rakaia, Waimate, St. Kilda, and a number of others. A valuable property has also been acquired at Wanganui. Owing to continued expansion of business, provision will have to be made for a considerable expenditure on building account this year in order to afford sufficient accommodation for carrying on the work with satisfaction to the public. As will be seen, there are large appropriations on account of the new buildings at Auckland and Wellington ; also votes for new buildings at Wellesley Street (Auckland), Ponsonby, Te Aroha, Hotorua, Manaia, Blenheim, Westport, Sydenham, Akaroa, Balclutha, and Kaitangata, and for a bulk-store at Wellington. Provision has also been made for new buildings at a number of other places. Votes are provided for the purchase of new sites or sites and buildings at Kawakawa, Hikurangi, Otahuhu, Raglan, Tokaanu, Wellington North, Adelaide Road (Wellington), Little River, and Ravensbourne.

Mental Hospitals. New laundry machinery has been installed at Auckland, and tenders have been invited for extensive additions to the buildings to meet present and future requirements. The Wolfe Bequest Reception-house has been completed and is in occupation. At Tokanui buildings for the new mental hospital necessary to relieve, but not to replace, the existing institutions are about to be erected at the extremity of the property nearest Te Puhi Railway-station. The area of land is 5,000 acres, and the intention is to build separate erections for the accommodation of each class and subclass of patients. There are very fine building-sites for this purpose sufficiently separated to eliminate the sentiment of a large institution. A start has been made in working the land, and when this can be extended by the labour of patients the proper-ty will be improved so much in excess of its cost that, quite apart from the ideal conditions for the treatment and classification of patients, it will be seen that the selection of this area was a very wise step. At Porirua the extensive additions were furnished, and immediately occupied. A second water-reservoir is being constructed, and many minor works have been carried out. The area of land in connection with the hospital is hardly adequate for the number of patients, and an additional area of eighty acres has been leased. The limited extent of land available will preclude any considerable extension of the buildings, but it is contemplated to make a moderate addition on the lines of the Wolfe Bequest Hospital in Auckland. At Sumryside a refrigerating-plant is being put in, and an extension of the single-room accommodation has been provided on the women's side. It is proposed to repeat here also the plan of the Wolfe Bequest Hospital in order that as many patients as possible may in the first instance be received and treated there instead of in the main institution. At Seacliff the dr) weather has demonstrated beyond question the necessity for an improved water-supply, and the necessary works are in progress. Some minor additions to the buildings are being carried out, and the accommodation at the auxiliary institution at Waitati is to be extended. Schools. During the year the sum of i'124,9'26 was expended out of the Public Works Fund on school buildings and £57,571 out of the Consolidated Fund. As usual, the greater part of this amount was paid to Education Boards, High School Boards, and other controlling authorities as grants for the erection of new buildings and additions, and for the purchase of sites and equipment, &c, for primary schools (including teachers' residences), secondary and technical schools, training colleges, and university colleges. The following were the principal works carried out directly under the control of the Government: Completion of the principal's residence and a classification cottage at the special school for boys, Otekaike; installation of a gas-lighting plant at Te Oranga Home (girls' reformatory), Christchurch; completion of a new wing at Burnham Industrial School; additional rooms for the staff and another cottage home at the Boys' Training Farm, Weraroa ; part purchase of land, buildings, stock, and equipment for the Boys' Industrial School, Stoke, Nelson; and four new Native schools, as well as additional accommodation at several existing ones. Wokkeks' Dwellings. On the supplementary estimates last year a vote of £ 15,000 was taken for workers' dwellings, and considerable preliminary work was done in pursuance of this appropriation. On the current year's estimates largely increased provision has been made —namely, for the acquisition of suitable sites, for road-formation to give access to same, and for the erection of suitable buildings. This work is being carried out under the direction of the Department of Labour.

Hospital Buildings. Under the heading of " Hospitals and Charitable Institutions " the principal items of expenditure were in connection with the Reefton Hospital, the St. Helens Hospital at Auckland, and the Auckland Veterans' Home. The current year's estimates provide for a renewal of the vote for a site and buildings for a new St. Helens Hospital, Wellington ; for a new St. Helens and site at Christchurch; for additional hospital accommodation at Rotorua; and some other minor works. Agricultural tbaining Works. Last year saw the completion and equipment of the training quarters at the Ruakura Farm of Instruction, and a number of lads are now in residence there. Further drainage operations have been carried out at Ruakura during the year. The land is very responsive to draining, and the marked improvement effected by this means since the farm was taken over has been a valuable object-lesson. Steps were taken last year to provide a permanent water-supply for Waerenga and Ruakura. At Weraroa stumping was carried out, which will enable more land to be brought under profitable cultivation. For the current year provision is made for the purchase of land for an experimental farm which it has been decided to establish in the South Island. New buildings required on experimental farms are also provided for. This is in continuation of the policy of gradually replacing the original buildings on the farms with buildings more in keeping with the character of the places, and better adapted for economically working them. ROADS AND BRIDGES. Liberal provision was made on last year's estimates for roads, and every effort has been made since the votes were passed to pash on energetically with the works. No time was lost in offering to local bodies the expenditure of such votes as it was anticipated they would be prepared to undertake. The expenditure of 1,503 items, totalling £292,116, was offered to local bodies, the offers in respect of the items provided for on the main estimates being made on the 15th and 16th November, and in respect of the supplementary estimates on the 12th and 13th December. When the offers to local bodies were made, they were invited to submit proposals for expenditure at as early a date as possible, and informed that authority would be issued so soon as such proposals had been approved. Between the 30th November and the 31st March no less a sum than £225,768 was authorized to local bodies and departmental Engineers, and between 31st March and 31st July authority for a further sum of £70,945 was issued. Some few local bodies declined to take up the items offered to them, others selected only those which presented little difficulty or expense in carrying out, and in almost every case where the local body was unwilling to undertake any particular work authority was promptly issued to the Department's local Engineer to carry it out. On the whole, however, the response may be regarded as quite satisfactory, so far as the willingness of local bodies to undertake work is concerned. Despite the fact that votes were made available at the earliest possible date, the expenditure at the 31st March had not reached the amount I anticipated. Of course, it will be understood that at that date there were many thousands of pounds' worth of work in hand under grants, much of which has since been completed. The system governing expenditure by local bodies of Government grants has been simplified as far as is consistent with properly safeguarding the expenditure of public money. Last session I announced the intention of the Government to give consideration to applications for grants where the local people were prepared to help themselves. A large number of substantial votes, on a pound-for-pound basis, were accordingly provided. The expenditure of these items has not so, far reached anything like the amount offered. In many cases this is doubtless
D.—l
XVI
attributable to the fact that when the votes were provided local bodies had not completed their arrangements for loans. An increased number of applications has been received this year for grants on this basis. It is unnecessary to detail all the various works carried out during the year, but they may be summarized as follows : — New dray-roads constructed.... .... .... 362 miles. Dray-roads metalled .... .... .... 195 „ Bridle-roads converted to dray-roads.... .... 127 „ New bridle-roads constructed .... .... 202 „ Engineering surveys made .... .... .... 445 „ Dray-roads maintained .... .... .... 1,940 „ Bridle-roads maintained .... .... .... 1,073 „ Bridges constructed, 20 ft. in length or over .... 149 Stock-bridges .... .... .... .... 72 Roads on Goldfields. The authorizations last year under this head were £86,795, on account of which a vote of £53,420 was taken. The vor,e was made up of a large number of quite small items. It is proposed to continue to assist local bodies by means of grants and subsidies towards the construction of roads and tracks to enable plant and stores to bo conveyed to mines in course of development, and also towards the construction of tracks in new localities so as to better enable prospecting operations to be carried on. Total Approphiations fob Road-wobks. Last year's appropriations were as under : — £ Roads, &c .... .... .... .... 312,545 Backblock roads ... .... .... .... 230,720 Roads on goldfields .... .... .... .... 53,420 Opening up Crown Lands for Settlement Account.... 100,000 National Endowment Account .... .... .... 15,935 Land for Settlements Account .... .... .... 20,865 New Hutt Road .... .... .... .... 20,000 Maintenance of roads (Consolidated Fund) .... 30,000 T0ta1.... .... .... .... £783,485 The provision for the current year is as under : — £ Roads, &c. .... .... .... .... 253,865 Backblock roads .... .... .... .... 296,135 Roads on goldfields .... .... .... .... 50,000 Opening up Crown Lands for Settlement Account 100,000 National Endowment Account .... .... .... 19,350 Land for Settlements Account .... .... .... 20,000 New Hutt Road .... .... .... .... 14,000 Maintenance of roads (Consolidated Fund) .... 35,000 T0ta1.... .... .... ....£788,350 DEVELOPMENT OF GOLDFIELDS. The mining industry maintains its position. The production of coal in New Zealand is steadily increasing, and affords an indication of the continual growth of our industrial enterprises. The extension of the Kumara Water-race is nearing completion, and it is anticipated that the water will be available for sluicing before the end of the financial year. The pipes have been successfully laid across the bed of the Teramakau River, and this is, L believe, the first instance of such a work being accomplished in the bed of so swiftly flowing a river as the Teramakau. The amount expended last financial year on the development of our goldfields was £10,845, and a vote of £25,000 is proposed for the current year.

TOURIST AND HEALTH RESORTS. The expenditure on the Eotorua Electrical Works was chiefly for completing the power-house extension, which will enable the production of a higher power, and consequently admit of a greater number of connections. Some buildings works were also carried out at Kotorua, arid a bath-house has been erected at Tokaanu. Improvements have been carried out at various tourist resorts. For the current year a vote of .£ 15,000 is proposed, the principal works provided for being a sanatorium for workers and other buildings at Kotorua, purchase of Native-township land at Te Puia, and the new hostel at Mount Cook. TELEGRAPH-EXTENSION. The expenditure on telegraph and telephone extensions during the year amounted to £111,868. The number of miles of poles and wire erected and in course of construction were 427 and 2,457 respectively. Among the principal land-lines erected or under erection are the following: Auckland-Wellington, Hamilton-Paeroa, Gisborne-Te Karaka, Napier-Gis-borne, Napier-Waipawa, Wellingtou-Feathersfcon, Wanganui-Marton, Amberley -Cheviot, Springfield - Cass, Dunedin Oamaru, Dunedin-Middlemarch, and Invercargill-Winton. During the past year matters in connection with the installation of the wireless-telegraph system have been pushed forward with all expedition. A great deal of initial work has been undertaken in the selection of suitable sites A the acquiring of the necessary land, the formation of roads, clearing of sites, and the preparation of the plans and specifications for the buildings. Contracts have been let for the erection of two high-power stations, one at Awanui, north of Auckland, and the other at Awarua, near the Bluff. Both these stations will have a daylight range of 1,250 miles, and thus uninterrupted communication will be kept up with vessels to and from Australia. Medium|)ower stations, having a daylight range of 300 miles, are to be erected on Mount Etako, North Tinakori Range, near Wellington; at North New Brighton, near Christchurch; at Gisborne; and on the Government steamer " Tutanekai." The vote asked for this year, ,£175,000, includes liabilities amounting to £71,904 principally for telegraph and telephone material under order at the commencement of the financial year. LIGHTHOUSES, HARBOUR-WORKS, AND HARBOUR-DEFENCES. Lighthouses. The works undertaken during the year were —the completion' of the Jackson's Head beacon, the erection of an automatic explosive fog-signal at Patiti Point (Timaiu), and a track leading to the fog-signal at Godley Head. The new works to be provided for are —the erection of lights at Castlepoint, North Cape, and Chickens Islands ; the re-erection of the Tuahine Point Lighthouse, which had to be temporarily dismantled last year owing to serious land-slides; and the connection of another lighthouse with the telegraph system. For the works mentioned above a sum of ,£8,885 will be required, on account of which a vote of £4,500 is provided on the estimates. Harbour-woeks. The principal works carried out last year were—Wharf at Matata (Bay of Plenty); extensions of existing wharves at Mercury Bay, Omokoroa, and Karamea ; harbour-improvements at Matakana, Mokau, Havelock, Takaka, and Karamea; protective works at Westshore (Napier); alterations to the ponds at the Portobello fish-hatchery, and the installation of an oil-engine winch and protective works at Nugget Bay for the benefit of the fishermen at that place. For the current year, in addition to renewing the unexpended items on last year's appropriations, it is proposed to provide for the following: Wharves at Jtuakiwi (Whaingaroa), Marakopa, Needles (Manukau), Mahau (Pelorus Sound), lights at Shelly Beach and Beacon Point (Kaipara), wharf-extension at Little Wanganui, wharf and river improvements at Otaeo (Waiwawa), removal of looks (Kaipara Kiver), and increased grants or subsidies for—Lemon Point

(Kawhia) Wharf, Wade River clearing, Matakana River improvements, Nugget Bay Landing and oil-engine, Kohukohu reclamation retaining-wall, and Karamea River improvements. The sum of £14,670 will be required for these works, on account of which a vote of £8,500 is proposed for the current year. Hahbour-pefences. A small amount of work was carried out last year, and a moderate expenditure will be necessary during the current year to provide for its completion. A vote of 43,000 for this purpose is provided on the estimates. WAIHOU AND OHINEMURI RIVERS IMPROVEMENT. A large amount of preliminary work has been done in pursuance of the Act passed last session to give effect to the recommendations of the Commission appointed to inquire into the silting of the Waihou and Ohinemnri rivers. The survey of the partially or totally destroyed agricultural lands is Hearing completion, and the plans are being compiled. Location-work in connection with the Ngararahi and Koutou deviations of the Waihou River has been completed, and contracts are being prepared with a view of inviting tenders for the full width of the cuts down to below high-water mark. The further excavating of the cuts to their full depth will be done by means of a suction dredge which is being specially designed for this river-improvement work. The Ngararahi Cut will be about 60 chains long and 170 ft. wide, while the ♦Koutou Cut will be about 10 chains long and 230 ft. wide. Instructions have been issued for the poisoning of the willows which encroach upon the channel of the Waihou River, and the extraction of the dead trees will be undertaken as soon as the poison has completed its work. Surveys have also been made in connection with the proposed removal of the Te Puke Wharf to a point below the Netherton Ferry. A vote of i' 20,000 for this work is included in the estimates. Gross Total Appropriations. In addition to the votes specifically referred to, the estimates include provision for the undermentioned services : — £ Departmental .... .... .... .... 48,000 Immigration .... .... .... .... 20,000 Lands-improvement .... .... .... .... 20,000 Contingent defence .... .... .... .... 20,000 thus bringing the total amount of the proposed appropriations, including special accounts, up to £3,145,674, against i' 3,248,210 voted and £2,039,508 actually expended last year. EMPLOYMENT ON PUBLIC WORKS. In accordance with the policy already outlined in the Financial Statement this year, the Government settlers who take up allotments under the proposed family land settlement system will, wherever possible, if they desire it, be employed part of their time on the public works to be promoted to give access to lands upon which they are settled. IRON INDUSTRY. In regard to the development of our iron-ores and ironsand, legislation will be introduced providing, in the alternative, for this purpose either by private enterprise or by the State. CONCLUSION. 1 have now reviewed the work of the past year, and given an epitome of the proposals regarding the current year. The votes proposed, while not excessive or extravagant, are nevertheless of an exceedingly liberal character, but are justified by the Government's policy of progressive development of the natural resources of the Dominion and of providing for the reasonable requirements of the people, and will admit of a satisfactory rate of progress being maintained with the various enterprises in hand. The works in progress and those proposed to be gone on with are all of a necessary character, and their execution will tend to still further advance the progress of the Dominion.

During the financial year a total length of 44 miles 56 chains of railway, as shown in the following table, was opened for general traffic : —
Appended hereto is a coloured diagram showing the lengths of railway opened for traffic each year since the initiation of the public-works policy. Kaihu Valley Railway (16 m. 67 eh. to 19 m. 24 eh.—2 m. 37 eh. in length). During the year arrangements have been made to extend this line from Kaihu to Waima, another 2 miles 37 chains The formation done by the old Kaihu Valley Railway Company had all to be resurveyed and the line relocated to suit this. This has been done, plans prepared, borings taken for bridges' of which there are four principal ones, a contract for their erection prepared and advertised, and now formation-work is just ready to be put in hand to complete the length so that the rails may be laid and the line opened for traffic. Kawakawa-Kaikohe Railway (16 m. 25 eh. in length). In November as the work slackened on the completion of the Opua-Grahamtown line, a start was made on the formation of the Ngapipito section of this line, 6 m. 30 eh. in length, and the men gradually moved on to this new work. To enable a proper junction station to be made and to suit all purposes, including the Turntable Hill road traffic, the Scoria Flat Station on the mam line to W hangarei was removed to the west about a mile to the junction of this line with the Kawakawa-Whangarei lme, and is now known as the Otiria Junction Station. All the sidings and buildings have been removed to this latter station, and the line laid in complete. , So far the work done this year has been chiefly clearing, draining, and earthwork in the heavy cuttings on the first 2 miles. Contracts for the timber and ironwork for the bridges have been prepared ; and progress will be somewhat retarded till the Ngapipito Bridges at 2£ m. are erected. Opua-Grahamtown Railway (58 m. 6 oh.). Kawakawa Southwards Section (7 to. 16 eh. to 19 m. from Opua Wharf) ; Ramarama Section (19 to. to 27 m 64 eh.); and Towai Section {16 m. to 21 m. Iron, Kamo).— Practically the whole of the work remaining unfinished on these sections at the date of my last report was duly completed durmg the year under review, and the line opened for general traffic on the 13th April, 1911, thus giving through railway connection between Opua (Whangarei) on the Bay of Islands and the present wharf at Extension from Kioreroa to Grahamtown (or Onemhi) (l)eepwater Section) (2 m. to 4 m. 50 eh.).— The balance of formation on this section at Onerahj. Station yard was completed. Rails were laid in the station-yard and the full ballasting over the whole section and in the station-yard and roadapproaches thereto was finished early in the year. The contractors for the erection of the deepwater wharf finished their work in November, and rails were laid on to it shortly afterwards. Various other minor works, such as culverting and drainage, including a stone wall 6 chains in length to prevent a slip at back of station-yard, were completed. The slopes of all banks exposed to the action of the sea were efficiently protected with heavy stone pitching, a quarry being opened up at Paiakiore for the purpose of obtaining the necessary material. The widening of formation at south side of Whangarei River Bridge was completed, as also was the fixing of balance-weights on lift span of the bridge. The oil-engine winch which is to operate the lift span has been ordered, and will be placed in position immediately it arrives. The telephone-line was continued from Kioreroa to Onerahi. A. contract has been let for erection of the Onerahi Station buildings, which comprise three cottages, Stationmaster's house, station buildings, goods-shed, and 6,000-gallon water-vat. A gravitation watersupply some 2J miles in length is being arranged to supply water to this station and wharf. It is anticipated that the section will be completed by the end of September.

North Auckland Railway. Kaiwaka Section (62 m. 46 eh. to 81 m. 30 eh.). — Work on this section has now been eompletedjip to and including the Topuni Station yard at 77 m. 40 eh., with the exception of a small amount of ballasting, and includes the Te Hana and Mainene Bridges, the Mainene Tunnel and Topuni Bridge; the two latter were in hand last year. This portion of the section is now open for the carriage of goods and mails, and should be ready for handing over to the Working Railways Department for general traffic at an early date. Beyond the Topuni Station work on the remainder of the Kaiwaka Section is in an advanced stage: culvert and formation work is finished, and rails laid up to 78 m. 70 eh., which is the commencement of the cutting leading into Ross Hill Tunnel. Sleepers, rails, and fastenings are now through the tunnel, and ;i commencement has been made with the laying of permanent-way over the finished formation towards the Kaiwaka Station yard. Work in the tunnel is being pushed forward. A length of 10£ out of a total of 17 chains has been iully taken out and lined ; the tunnel-fronts are in, and but little of the enlarging remains to be done. September should see the tunnel completed. Beyond the tunnel, formation is finished to the end of the section at Kaiwaka Station yard. Formation of this yard is complete, and the erection of station buildings is in progress. Otamatea Section (81 m. 30 eh. to So m. 75 eh.). —At the end of last year work on this section had just been commenced. Construction of culverts and formation throughout the section to the Otamatea Bridge at 83 m. 75 eh., near Young's Point, is now in hand, including the erection of staging in be used in building a bank and 10ft. culvert at the Kaitara Stream. Formation of the Otamatea Station yard is also under way. Contracts have been let for the building of a bridge over the Otamatea at Young's Point, and also for a wharf at the same place. The bridge consists of twelve 41 ft. spans and five 100 ft. spans, the short spans being supported by concrete piles and reinforced-concrete piers, and the long spans on cylinder piers. Three platelayers' cottages are in course of erection at Otamatea. Bickerstaffe Section (83 m. 75 eh. to 88 in. 20 eh.). —During the year this section has been opened up and earthworks have now been more or less completed up to 86 m., being the south end of the first short tunnel on the Bickerstaffe Estate, and is now being driven and lined as it proceeds, being in somewhat dangerous ground. Some of the preceding formation, thioughout a distance of 25 chains, shows a tendency to slip, though not to an unexpected degree. About a mile on from the first tunnel a tramway about a mile long is to be laid from Maungaturoto Wharf to the south end uf the Muddy Creek Tunnel, in order to facilitate obtaining material by sea for lining the tunnel, as there is no suitable stone on the ground. The completion of the detailed survey of the line from 88 m. 20 eh. to McCarroll's (Jap at 96 m. 40 eh. for constructional purposes will be put in hand and finished off as soon as possible. Huntly-Awarua Railway (7 m. 34 eh. in length). On this railway, which was authorized last year, the first step has been taken in the erection of a bridge across the Waikato River at Huntly, a contract for which was let in February last, the contract sum being £17,580. The bridge is designed to carry both railway and road traffic, and consists of two 40 ft. and eight 100 ft. spans supported on concrete abutments and reinforced concrete piled piers. East Coast Main Trunk Railway. Tα v ranga-Vacrujarot i. Maunganui-Te Puke Section (13 in. 27 eh. in length). —On the 19th July, 1910, a party of men was started on preparatory work in clearing and preparing tracks with a view to commencing active operations on the construction of this railway. At the end of that month earthworks were put in hand, and by the 10th August seventy men were at work. On the 30th June, 1911, earthworks finished, or at any rate so far advanced as to admit of the permanent-way being laid for nearly half the distance. A small wharf has been built at Maunganui for the purpose of landing materials required in connection with the works. The formation of this section was for the most part easily constructed, but carrying the line through the swamps involved extensive drain-work, and where subsidence of banks has taken place necessitated a large amount of extra work being done. The line through these swamps will probably continue to sink for some time, and therefore requires considerable work to maintain levels. Permanent-way is laid to 3m. 30 eh. or about 1 mile out from the terminal station at Maunganui. Various rock-deposits at and in the vicinity of Mount Maunganui were examined, and it has been decided to obtain rock from Moturiki Island and crush it for ballasting purposes. A branch line about 1 mile in length from Maunganui terminal station to this deposit has been laid out and a site fixed for the crushing plant. Four platelayers' cottages have been built by contract at the two terminal stations of the section —viz., two at Maunganui and two at Te Puke. A temporary engine-shed, with pit, coal-store, enginetanks, store, and shops for carpenters and blacksmiths have also been erected. Gisborue-Motu. Utoko Section (23 m. 50 eh. to 31 m. 45ch.—7 m. 75 eh. in length).— At the 30th June last the bottom lift of ballast on this section was completed nearly to Otoko. Since then the line has been completely ballasted to the site of the Otoko Viaduct (31 m. 5 eh.). The Otoko Station yard, which is on the far side, cannot be ballasted until the viaduct, which is being built by contract, is available. Pending completion of the viaduct, a wire ropeway was thrown across the valley for the purpose of transporting materials on ahead. For the greater part of the year passenger and goods traffic has been regularly run by this Department. Construction-work on this section, notwithstanding its difficult nature, has stood remarkably well, and
D.-l
56
with the exception of a washout at 26 m. 35 eh. only ordinary maintenance has been necessary. All fencing on this section has been completed. Work on the Otoko Viaduct has been in hand all the year and is now about three parts completed. All concrete-work is done excepting the finishing-oil of abutments. A large amount of the steel work has been prepared and the rest is in course of preparation. The finished portions consist of the main piers which are erected in position with most of the bracing. The plate-girders for pier-heads are ready, but not in place. Short end-span girders are in a similar condition and shop-work lias been commenced on the longer and main 66 ft. plate-girders. Rakauroa Section (31 m. 45 eh. to 38 m. 25 eh. — 6 m. 60 eh. in length). — Formation is nearly finished to 33 m. 15 eh., with the exception of slips to remove, a cutting at 32 m. 42 eh., a big filling at 32 m. 63 eh., and the bridge at 33 m. 12 eh., foundations for which are being started. From this latter point on to 36 m. 40 eh. formation is complete, but there are two considerable bridges still to erect, which are not yet started. From 36 m. 40 eh. on to the end of Rakauroa Section, which includes the stationyard, the formation-work is all in a very forward condition, but there still remains a big cutting at 37 m. 35 eh. and the bridge at 37 m. 50 eh. to finish and erect. A very great deal of cxi ra work has been occasioned through land-slides which have taken place between 31m. 35 eh. and ■'Win. 10 eh. At 32 m. 63 eh. a 10 ft. water-drive has been put through, the concrete lining of which is three parts completed. To enable the work-train to convey materials ahead of the big bank at 32 m. 63 eh. a deviation of a temporary character was run up a gully with a back-shunt down the other side, as there was no room to curve the line round, and this means was adopted to overcome the difficulty. A big gully at 33 m. 12 eh., which has to be bridged, was crossed by means of a temporary trestle. This and the deviation previously referred to allowed all supplies and materials to be taken forward by train for the Matawai Section, and also enabled jtlatelaying to proceed to 34 m. 10 eh. Levelling the stationsite at Rakauroa is nearly finished. The greater part of the fencing on this section has been done. Contracts have been let for the ironwork and timber required for the bridges. Matawai Section (38 m. 25 eh. to 44 m. 10 eh. — 5 m. 65 eh. in length). —From the commencement of this section at 38 m. 25 eh., formation, except the bridge at 38 m. 31 eh., is complete to 39 m. 45 eh., and the big cutting, which occurs at this latter point, has had a drive put through it for several chains, and two shafts have been sunk from the surface to enable material to be taken out as expeditiously as possible. From this on, with the exception of two cuttings which are well in hand, the formation has been completed to the summit of the grade at 40 m. 77 eh., the highest point on the line. The cutting on the top of this grade has not yet been all taken out, but beyond this again, to 42 m. 20 eh., formation is complete, and partially done to the end of the 43rd mile. The Matawai Section runs through country that has all until lately been standing bush, and consequently a large amount of stumping has been necessary. Fencing has been erected as far as 40 m. Location-survey work is proceeding on the next 2 miles, 44 m. to 46 m., which are almost ready for work. Stratford-Ongarue Railway. Te Wera Section (15 m. 68 eh. to 22 m. 65 eh. — 6 m. 77 eh. in length). —This section was handed over to the Working Railways Department on the 20th June, 1910. Since that date some work remaining uncompleted, and including a platelayer's cottage and two small traffic-bridges on a deviation of Ohura Road opposite Te Wcra Station, has been completed. Pohokura Section (22 m. 65 eh. to 31m. 40 ch. — B m. 55 eh. in length). —All platelaying and ballasting on this section, with the exception of part of the yard-work in Ngatimaru and Pohokura stationyards, has been completed. All fencing and the telephone-line are also complete. During the year 660 ft. of piping and 350 ft. of culverting were put down. Ngatimaru Station buildings have been completed, and Pohokura Station buildings are approaching completion. A bridge at 22 m. 67 eh. and a road-access bridge at Pohokura Station have been built. Only a few minor items require attention to completely finish the section. Goods traffic has been run since the 26th September, 1910, and passenger traffic since the 10th June last. Whangamomona Section (31 m. 40 eh. to 37 m. 53 eh. —6 m. 13 eh. in length). —The whole of this section has been cleared, and all earthworks are in hand. All road and creek diversions are complete except the road-diversion opposite 36 m. 70 eh. Fencing is complete up to 34 m. and in places where necessary up to the end of section. Rails have been laid up to 33 in. 71 eh., to which point the first lift of ballast has also been carried. A temporary siding has been put in at 33 m., near the foot of the Whangamomona Road saddle, and goods and passenger traffic are being carried thereto. During the year 1,100 lin. ft. of piping, 1,450 lin. ft. of wirter-drives, and 430 lin. ft. of concrete culverts have been constructed. The bridge at 31 m. 70 eh. is in hand, and timber is now arriving for some of the other bridges. The bottom headings of Whangamomona Tunnel (some 30J chains in length) met on 3rd April. 10 chains of the tunnel have been completed and lined, 14 chains fully excavated, and the other 6 J chains have still to be done and these two latter lengths lined. Tahora Section (37 m. 53 eh. onwards). —This section is cleared of bush to 38 m., and earthworks extending over the first 20 chains are in hand. Mount Egmont Branch Railway. The survey of the extension from 5 m. 64 eh. to the quarry-site near 8 m. 50 eh. is almost finished. Centre-line has been cleared from 5 m. 64 eh. to 6 m. 7 eh. and from 6 m. 20 eh. to 8 m. 10 eh. up the rope incline route, and clearing at foot station at 6m. 17 eh. is in progress. Earthworks are in hand from sm. 64 eh. to sm. 76 eh. A prospecting party is at work at the quarry-site driving under the rock in different places to find out the full extent and lay of the rock, and to test its quality.

South Island Main Trunk (Late Blenheim-Watpara) Railway. North End. Blind River Section (33 m. 45 eh. to 37 m. 7 eh.) and Ward Section (37 m. 7 eh. to 48 m. 9 eh.), (in all 14 m. 44 eh. in length) were completed and handed over to the Working Railways Department for general traffic on the 15th April, 1911. Mirza Section (48 m. 9 eh. to 51m. 45 eh. — 3 m. 36 eh. in length). —The formation of this section, which was untouched at the date of my last report, is now well in hand. Various concrete and pipe culverts and stream-diversions have been completed. A platelayers' cottage has been built at Mirza Station, and service workshops, stores, &c, at Ward Station. The formation of a further length, to the Ure River, is being put in hand. South End. Mackenzie Section (31m. 67 eh. to 35 m. 50 eh. —3 m. 63 eh. in length). —Work on this section was practically complete at the end of last year. What required to be done was finished off, and the line handed over to the Railway Department for general traffic on the Ist August, 1910, as far as Mina Station. Parnassus Section (35 m. 50 eh. to 44 m. 13 eh. — 8 m. 43 eh. in length). —The line on this section. after leaving Mina. rises over a saddle and then descends to the Waiau-ua River, which it crosses near the end of section. There are two intermediate station-sites—Phoebe and Spotswood. Formation and platelaying is now complete for about three miles, or as far as Phoebe ; thence to Spotswood, another 3 miles, line is nearly completed. Prom Spotswood to Parnassus the formation is light, and will be quickly disposed of. The bridge across the Waiau-ua —a combined road and railway structure (2,330 ft. long)—is finished and in use. Construction of the railway approach-banks is in hand, and heavy pro-tection-works are being put in. It was hoped to have this section complete by the end of February. but damage by flood which has occurred since the end of June may cause some delay. Mendif Section (44 m. 13 eh. onwards). —A commencement has been made in a few cuttings, and a service-road is under construction as far as 48 m. So far. practically only preliminary work has been dour.. Midland Railway. Nelson-Westland Section, North End. Tui (part of Manu) Section (46 m. 38 eh. to 49 eh. 55 eh. — 3 m. 17 eh. in length). —The work remaining unfinished on this section at the end of last year has been completed, including the erection of Tui Station buildings. Glenhope Section (49 m. 55 eh. to 59 m. 19 eh. — 9 m. 34 eh. (omitting short chainage) in length). — Earthwork from the end of Tui Section to the beginning of deviation at 57 in. 40 eh. lias been completed, except at small block cuttings at 53 m. 49 eh. through which only a gullet has been driven, 54 m. 34 eh. at overbridge, 55 m. 29£ eh. at saddle cutting, and 57 ni. 20 eh. A large slide in the saddle cutting at 55 in. 29| eh., which commenced in May last owing to a seam of soft material giving way at back of batter-line, has occasioned a good deal of trouble. Three parties are working at it, and it is anticipated that sufficient material will have been removed by the time the platelaying reaches that point to allow the rails to be laid through. Bushfelling and clearing on the deviation from 57 in. 40 eh. to 59 in. 15 eh. are completed to 58 m. 31 eh. A bridge at 50 m. 68 eh., consisting of five 20 ft. spans, has been built; also a bridge at 53 in. 16 eh., consisting of five 22 ft. and one 40ft. spans. All concrete-work at the piers has been completed, and the 40 ft. timber span has been erected. The 22 ft. plate-girders have come to hand, and riveting-up and placing on 'lie piers is in progress. Bridge at 55 in. 'M eh.. consisting of two 22 ft. and one Lo ft. spans. Concrete abutments and piers have been completed. Arched bridge at 55 m. 55 eh. : Concrete blocks were made for the arch, and erection of the bridge is in progress. The arch has been built, and wing walls and parapets are partially completed. Various water-drives, culverts, and pipe drains were put in where accessary. Platelaying south of Cat Creek was commenced in January, and has been extended up to the north cud ofthe bridge at '>:; m. i 1 eh., and siding has been laid at Kaka Station yard. The first lift of ballast ing is done up to 53 m. 14 eh., and the second lift up to 51 m. 73 eh., and boxing-in has all been done between Kiwi and Tui. A Dew stone crusher for ballast purposes has been erected at Kiwi, and is working satisfactorily. Fencing on both sides of the line from 48 m. 88 eh. to 52 m. 57 eh. was put up during the year. Nelson-Westland Section, South End. Cronadun-Landing Section (45 m. 40ch. to 54 m. — B m. 40ch. in length). The formation, which was well in hand at the beginning of the year, was completed, and platelaying put in hand. As soon as the rails reached the ballast-pit at Larry's Creek, ballasting was commenced, and has since been satisfactorily completed. A contract for erection of the bridges on this section was let in September, and completed in the following June. Two platelayers' cottages have been erected at the Rotokohu Station at 50 m. 17 eh., and another contract is now in hand for erection of station buildings at this and the Landing Station. Immediately on completion of the buildings the line can be opened for traffic. Arrangements are being made to put further work in hand on the first two miles of the next section, the big cutting and platelaying have been already completed as far as the Landing Bridge at 54 m. 28 eh.

( ' tinterbury-Westland Section, West End. Otira Section (50 m. 38 eh. to 51m. 40 eh.). —The only work done during the year has been the painting of the Rolleston River Bridge. A commencement was made with the painting of Goal Creek Bridge, but had to be discontinued owing to heavy frosts. GoodsJtritflie between Otira Station and the contractor's depot was run by the Railway Department. Arthur's Pass Tunnel Contract (51 m. 40ch. to 59 m. 40ch. 8 miles in length). The at 52 m. 67-22 eh. and ends at 58 m. 12-40 eh. At the Otira (west) end the bottom heading has been advanced from 53 m. 61 oh. to 54 m. 17 eh., a distance of 36 chains, or 10 chains more than last yea c; at the Bealey (east) end the heading lias been driven to 57 m. 75 eh., a distance of 6 chains for the year: thus 1 mile 47 chains of heading has been driven, leaving 3 miles 58 chains still to do. lining at the Otira end is finished to 53 m. 66£ eh., or 38| chains during the year. At the Bealey end it is complete to 57 m. 75f eh., or 14 chains for the year : total to date, 1 mile 16 chains complete. At the west end the bank which is being formed out of tunnel-spoil has been extended to 51 m. 78J eh., and has reached the bed of the Otira River. Groins and stone facing are being put in as protective works. Owing to the dry weather interfering with the supply of water for power purposes, work has had to be wholly or partially suspended on two occasions. £ At the Bealey end a 4 ft. culvert has been completed and some bank-formation work has been in hand in the Bealey Station yard. (Janlerbury-Westland Section. East End. Cass Section (12 m. 12 eh. to 27 m. 40 eh. -15 m. 22 eh. in length). Ballasting and platelaying were continued, and completed in time for handing the section over to the Working Railways Department on the 12th December, 1910. A contract for erection of Cass Station buildings was let and is getting on fairly well, but has not yet been completed. Bealey Section (27 m. 40 eh. to 41m. 46 eh. — 13 m. 75 eh. (deducting short chains) in length). — This section runs from Cass Station down the Cass River, up the Waimakariri and Bealey Rivers to junction with the end of the work included in the Arthur's Pass Tunnel contract. The line is mostly in the river-bed, involving a large amount of protective work. Formation to 35 m. was first put in hand, and is now in an advanced stage. Thence to 38 m. formation is well under way. but beyond that point not much work has been started yet. Protective works are nearly completed to 35 m. Boulders encased in wire crates, or gabions, is the method chiefly used for protection purposes, but a quarry has been opened up and large stone is being used for groins protecting the approaches to Cass. Waimal riri, and Bealey Bridges. Willow-planting is being done as a further means of protection. Platelaying has been carried on for 1 \ miles, or as far as Cass Bridge, and two lifts of ballast have been put down to the same point. Cass Bridge is complete except for the laying of the track. Piles are being driven for the Waimakariri Bridge, and the plate-girders for it are being made by contract and are due in September. Work has not yet been commenced on the Douglas Creek Bridge. Tinwhole of the section can probably be completed by December, 1912, if vigorously pushed cm. Westport-Inangahua Railway. Te Kuha Section (0 m. to sm. 74 eh. — 5 m. 74 eh. in length).- -With the exception of station buildings at Te Kuha, for the erection ol which a contract has been let, all work on this section has been completed. Cascade Section (5 m. 74 eh. to 12 m.- dm. 6ch. in length). Formation, &c, of this section has been carried out partly under co-operative contract and partly under ordinary contract. Work under the former system extends from sm. 74 eh. to 6m. 38 eh., and under the Litter from 6m. 35 eh. to 9 m. Co-operative contracts : The cutting through the rock spur from 5 in. 78 eh. to 6 m. 4 eh., and the bank from sm. 68 eh. to sm. 78 eh., were completed at the beginning of the year. The bank from 6m. 4 eh. to 6m. 7|ch. is almost completed. An 8 ft. by 8 ft. drive has been put through a cutting from 6m. 8 eh. to 6m. 10 eh. Material from this cutting is to be utilized in making the bank at 6m. 37 eh. when the tunnel is completed. The cutting is complete from 6m. 10 eh. to 6m. 13 eh. The approach to the tunnel at 6m. 15 eh. has been finished. Enlargement of the tunnel from 6m. 15 eh. to 6 m. 20 eh., from a top heading driven last year has progressed well, and the face excavation is now at 6m. 18-65 eh. The tunnel has been lined with'concrete, 12 in. thick, from the entrance to 0 in. 18-40 eh. All the blocks for the arch have been made. Although the excavation has all been in granite rock, the broken nature of the material has necessitated timbering all through. The cuttingapproach has been completed from 6m. eh. to 6m. 24 eh. Material therefrom is being tipped into the long bank at 6m. 38 eh. A trestle was built to carry the service-road over bridge-site at 6m. 36 eh. A 4 ft. arch concrete culvert has been built at 6m. 7 eh. in addition to these earthwork-co-operative contracts, bushfelling co-operative contracts have been let and completed from 7 m. 53 ch. to 9m. 40 eh. An average of forty men have been employed during the year. Ordinary contracts (6 m. 31 eh. to 9 m.) : In May, 1910, six contracts were let for formation from 6m. 35 eh. to 7 m. 38-3 eh. ; in March, 1911, five contracts, 6m. 46-6 eh. to 9 m. ; and in May, 1911, one contract for formation from 7 m. 38-5 eh. to 7 m. 46-6 eh., and for culverts from 7 m. 21 eh. to 7m. 47 eh. Work on the six contracts let in May, 1910, is about three-parts done ;on the other contracts work has practically only just been commenced. No. 1 contract (6 m. 31 eh. to 6 in. 70 eh.) : This work was commenced in May, 1911. An average of five men were employed, and 720 cubic yards have been excavated, extending from 6 m. 50 eh. to 6 m. 59$ eh.

D.—l
No. 2 contract (6 m. 70 eh. to 7m. 2 eh.): During the year the cutting on this contract has been almost completed ; 10,460 cubic yards have been excavated. The bottom drive (12 ft. by 8 ft.) in the tunnel is in 2 chains. The material, though fairly hard rock, will require timbering. An average of nine men were employed during the year. No. 3 contract (7 m. 3 eh. to 7m. 13-5 eh.): This contract is well on towards completion, about 12.400 cubic yards of solid rock having been taken out. An average of seven men have been employed. No. 4 contract (7 m. 13-5 eh. to 7m. 21 eh.) : 16,000 cubic yards of material, partly rock, partly soft material, have been taken out. Two large blasts of 1,5001b. of gelignite each were successfully fired. An average of seven men have been employed. No. 5 contract (7 m. 22 eh. to 7m. 33 eh.) : This contract was commenced in September, 1910. 10,970 cubic yards of rock have been excavated. Excavation of a further 800 cubic yards will complete ihe contract. An average of nine men have been employed. No. 6 contract (7 m. 33-5 eh. to 7 m. 38-30 eh.) : Work is well on towards completion, 10,000 cubic yards of rock having been taken out. A slip of 2,000 cubic yards came down into the cutting and has been removed. The material in the cutting is fairly hard rock but very much broken. An average of eight men have been employed. No. 7 contract (7 m. 46-6 eh. to 8 m.) : This work was commenced in May last, and 4UO cubic yards have been taken out. The rock is very hard. No. 8 contract (Bm. to 8 id. 38'5ch.) : Work lias not yet been commenced. No. 9 contract (8 m. 42-4 eh. to Bm. 50-5 eh.) : About 280 cubic yards have been excavated. Work was commenced in June. Nos. 10 and 12 contracts (8 m. 50-5 eh. to Bm. 79 eh.) : These two contracts have only just been started. No. 11 contract (7 m. 38-50 eh. bo 7 in. 46-6 eh.) : Excavation on this contract has only just been commenced. The average number of men employed on these contracts so far has been forty-five. <;<>od progress is nofl being made by all the contractors, and the work promises to be done at a satisfai fcory rate. Ngahere Blackball Railway (3m. 40ch. in length). This line, with the exception of a gatekeeper's cottage at Ngahere Bridge and gates to the bridge. both of which are now in course of erection, was completed and handed over to the Working Railways Department on the Ist August, 1910. Greymouth- Point Elizabeth Collieries Railway Extension. Coal Creek Section (3 m. 69 eh. in length). —Fine weather enabled good progress to be made with this line. All the earthworks and platelaying on the main line have been completed, with the exception of the Fell brake rail. On the back-shunt at the terminal station, however, slips have caused a considerable amouni of trouble and extra work. Formation is well in hand, but a good deal of work yet remains to be done. Formidable slips are threatening, but by deviating the line somewhat it is hoped to considerably reduce the amount of work to be carried out. With the exception of one mi wo doubtful places, the main line is standing well, and will be almost free of slips of any magnitude. Work has been commenced on the Seven-mile Creek Bridge on the back-shunt line. Two piers are in course of erection, and foundations are ready for three more. The foundations for this bridge have opened jout disappointingly, and consequently involved considerably more work than was anticipated. Catlin's Waimahaka Railway. Catlin's End. Papatupu Section (24 in. 8 eh. h> '-/ m. 50ch. 3m. 12ch. in length). Work on this section has been completed, and the line is now ready to hand over to the Railway Department. The Public Works Department is, however, retaining control so as to facilitate haulage of ballast from Houipapa quarry, (ioods traffic for the convenience of settlers is being run. Puketiro Section (27m. 50ch. to -il n<. 30ch. 3m. 60ch. in length). Earthworks on this section have been very heavy, and numerous large slips have occurred. This part of the work is, however, now practically finished, the portion remai finished at the end of last year, being between 28 m. t0 eh. and 31 m. 26 eh., having been completed arid trimmed, except for a small amount of work in the Puketiro Station yard. Side ditching and water-tabling has been done to •';! tn. and also all creek-diversions. Puketiro Station has been formed by widening the cutting on saddle, and is practically finished excepi for south end approaches. Metalling will be dune when platelaying is carried to this point. Fencing on both sides is nearly complete, and various crossings hav< in. A pi loadingbank, and shelter-shed have been buih ai Papatupu Station, and a platelayer's cottage'erected at Puketiro.

clearing, and logging has been completed from 31 m. 68 eh. to 37 m. The bulk of the earthwork is being pushed on between 32 m. and 35 m. 52 eh., and good progress has been made during the past season, the climatic conditions having been fairly favourable. Benching was done on the seats of all banks on sloping ground, and stone drains put into all watercourses where culverts do not drain them, as far as 35 m. 45 eh. The greater portion of Avery's Creek bank, at 32 m. 44 eh., has to be made up from the north side, where the cutting is being worked in two places to facilitate the filling ; as soon as the weather improves sufficiently, double shifts will be worked. The cuttings on either side of the Matai Creek bank, at 33 m. 14 eh. are being taken out in two places, and double shifts are being worked in all four faces. Caberfeidh Station, at 33 m. 56 eh., is about half formed, and al7 chain road-diversion has been formed with spoil from cutting. Two creek-diversions have been cut, and twenty-one culverts, totalling 2,185 tin. ft., have been put in between 32 m. and 34 m. 37 eh.

It is anticipated that the line will be ready for handing over to Working Railways Department by the end of September next. Lawrence-Roxburgh Railway. Beaumont Section (29 m. 33 eh. to 35 m. — 5 m. 67 eh. in length). —Plans and specifications were prepared with a view to letting a contract for construction of portion of this section from 29 m. 34 eh. to 30 m. 29 eh. (including Big Hill Tunnel). Tenders were duly invited, but those received were considered altogether too high, and it was decided in March. 1911, to carry the work out on the co-opera-(dve-contracl principle. The accessary plant and machinery, including engine and air-compressor, were sent on to the work in the same month, and an air-pipe line laid into the tunnel-workings. Engineshed, store, coal-shed, and smithy were also erected. The fannel-approach cutting has been advanced from 29 m. 33-65 eh. to 29 m. 34-8 eh. and face of cutting, which was at 29 m. 72-4 eh. (north end) when work was resumed, has been advanced to 29 m. 71 eh., while the bank into which excavated material is being run has advanced to 29 m. 73-83 eh. The old bottom heading of the tunnel has been ret im be red and debris cleared and a start made on the face, which stood at 29 m. 54-64 eh., in April. This has now advanced to 29 m. 51 eh., being a total distance of 6o chains from the portal. In addition, a top stope, 8 ft. by 7 ft. on roof of heading has been driven from 29 m. 57 eh. to 29m. 54-93 eh., a distance of 207 links, and the first length of full arch excavated and timbered.

Maraetai and Tauranga. —Portions of the foreshore at each of these places were examined, and reports prepared on the question of allowing the removal of sand. Tuahine Lighthouse. —An extensive landslip rendered the removal of the tower necessary, so a temporary light was installed pending the erection of a new permanent structure. Owing to the continued instability of the hill it was decided to build a concrete pedestal on the foreshore, on which the cast-iron tower with light apparatus would be placed. A contract for the construction of the concrete pedestal was prepared and let, and the work is now about half completed. Napier Lighthouse. —Some repairs and painting were carried out. Queen Charlotte Sound. —A small lighthouse consisting of an iron tower for carrying an automatic light was erected on Dieffenbach Point, at the junction of Tory Channel with Queen Charlotte Sound.

63
D.—l
for the purpose of leading the wire-rope to the positions occupied by the boats when on shore. This work has been carried out supplementary to the construction of a small groin, which was completed last year, for the purpose of arresting the coastal sand-drift and forming a suitable beach for the reception of the boats. The whole scheme has answered so satisfactorily that the number of boats engaged in the fishing business has increased from two to nine, while the conveniences provided will enable the size of the boats to be increased, with the result that the fishermen have approached the Government with a view to the installation of a much larger winch. Okarito. —Some protection-work to prevent the river encroaching on the wharf has been carried out. IRRIGATION. Steward Settlement. —The works for completing irrigation of this settlement have been completed by the Department within the estimated cost, tenders having been previously invited, but declined owing to the lowest one being considerably in excess of the estimate. The settlers have already utilized the water for irrigation to some extent. In order to prevent encroachment on the settlement by overflows from the Awamoko River, a stopbank with protecting groins Ims been constructed. All the works in connection with the irrigation of this settlement are now completed. Otekaike Settlement. —A survey was made and plans prepared for the irrigation of this settlement by water derived from the Otekaike River, and a start was made with the construction of the races and headworks in April last, but up to the end of June, owing to floods in the river, not much progress had been made. Central Otago. — Ida Valley. —During the past year the survey-work in connection with headworks required and with the main distributing-races has been practically completed. Some further surveywork is required in connection with the minor distributaries. Considerable information has been obtained with a view of improvement of the Bonanza Race for the purpose of bringing in water from the Greenland dam, and for the purpose of first utilizing this water for the generation of power before its distribution for irrigation, the object being to obtain power for the purpose of pumping the tailwater into the main distributaries and so utilizing it over again. The question of constructing additional reservoirs on the Manorburn has been fully investigated, and a site for a dam selected which will enableja considerable addition to the available watershed to be made. Some surveys have also been completed with the object of diverting water from adjacent creeks so that it can be utilized for the irrigation of the Ida Valley. The information now in the hands of the Department will enable construction-works to be put in hand on"short notice when the agreement with the landowners and occupiers has been completed. Survey-work has also been carried out with a view to testing the practicability of pumping water from the Manuherekia River to supplement other waters for this irrigation-work. The total length of line surveyed and levelled during the year amounts approximately to 340 miles. The rigorous climate in this district considerably retards outdoor work during the winter time, so that practically the whole of the survey-work has to be confined to about eight months in the year. Alternative plans have been prepared for the additional dam in the Manorburn, and also for the main distributary race intake-weir, Moa Creek. Maniototo. —A small amount of survey-work was carried out to approximately locate the main distributing-races below the Linburn-Pataeroa Ford across the Taieri River. SEACLIFF MENTAL HOSPITAL WATER-SUPPLY. Plans in connection with this work have been completed, contracts prepared and submitted for approval, but no work has yet been carried out. UTILIZATION OF WATER-POWER. Kaituna Water-power Scheme. —The gauging of the outflow of Lake Rotoiti has been continued during the year. Huka Falls Power Scheme. —Similar gaugings have been continued during the year. Hutt Power Scheme. —Gaugings of the flow in the Hutt River have been continued during the year. Lake Coleridge Power Scheme. —In consequence of the decision of the Government to put in hand the construction of this scheme, the completion of the*surveys was put in hand, and up to the end of the year full information as regards the outlet tunnel and the diversion of the Acheron River was obtained. A survey has been made of a road to give access to the site of the power-station and the residences of the employees who will be engaged there. This work has been completed, and contracts have been prepared and entered into for the construction of the road. Plans have also been prepared for a bridge over the Acheron on this road. OHINEMURI SILTING. Survey-work in connection with the location of the Ngararahi and Koutou diversions of the Waihou River has been completed, and contracts are in course of preparation with a view of inviting tenders for a part of the work for the purpose of removing the silt from the river below the confluence of the Ohinemuri, and also for the purpose of generally clearing and enlarging the bed of this river in order that the flow of the flood-waters may be facilitated. Drawings for the construction of a suction dredge
D.—l
64
with cutting-head on the suction-pipe are in course of preparation, and it is anticipated that they will be shortly completed, when tenders can be invited for the construction of the machine. TRAMWAYS. Takapuna Tramways. —During the year the construction of the Takapuna Tramways, which had been in hand throughout the previous year, was satisfactorily completed, the certificate enabling traffic to be run being given in December last. Proposals for altering and improving the siding accommodation at the Bayswater end were approved, and the work has been duly carried out. Improvements to the grades and curves have also been effected. Auckland Electric Tramways. —Plans of the Remuera duplication were approved in July, and construction immediately put in hand. The work was all finished and ready for traffic by the end of year. Plans for the Morningside extension were approved in March, but so far no work has been done. Drawings of ten new bogie-cars were approved, nine of which have been completed. The company has another fifteen cars on order. Three of these were completed and under examination at the end of year. Ten of these fifteen cars are being manufactured in the Dominion, and five are being imported. Air-brakes have been fitted to thirty cars. Wellington. —An extension of the Karori tramway to the Karori Park has been carried out during the year. The construction of an electric tramway to Wadestown has also been carried out. The duplication of a portion of the Kilbirnie route has been completed, likewise of two portions of the Thorndon Quay route. The construction of a second car-shed at Thorndon has been carried out. The removal of the centre poles supporting the overhead equipment along the single tracks forming the Thorndon Quay and Oriental Bay routes has been completed, with very great convenience to the working of the tramway and the safety of the public. The whole of the cars are now able to travel over these routes without restriction. The construction of the connecting-link between the tramway in Willis Street and that in the vicinity of the General Post-office has been put in hand. When completed, the Brooklyn cars will run through to the General Post Office, which will form the termination of the first section on that route. During the past year several new cars have been put in commission and several old ones have been reconstructed with a view to increased accommodation. As completed, these cars were duly inspected. Christchurch. —Burwood route : This section has been electrified. Burwood route extension to Beach : This section has been relaid with heavier rails. Cashel Street route (High Street to Canal Reserve) : The construction of this section has been completed, and the line is now in use.
