Session 11. 1912. NEW ZEALAND.
PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT. BY THE HON. WILLIAM FRASER, MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS. 18th OCTOBER, 1912.
Mr, Speaker,— As 1 only assumed office as Minister of Public Works on 10th Jul} 7 , it is scarcely necessary to state that all references in this Statement to operations during the last financial year are strictly departmental. As regards the future, however, I desire to offer some remarks. In my opinion, to give the settlers of the Dominion access to their holdings by means of roads should he the first consideration in any scheme of public works. I have no desire to minimize the value of railways to the Dominion, but these are of secondary importance if the settlers cannot reach them. Now, road-making in New Zealand is difficult and expensive, owing to the configuration of the country and to the absence m many localities of suitable metal. Hence considerable sums have to be provided each year for this class of work. In view of the fact that the unexpended balance of authorities for roads and bridges on 31st March, 1912, was £466,367, and that between Ist April last and 31st July further authorities amounting to £145,796 were issued, I found myself at the latter date faced with commitments totalling £612,163 for roads and bridges alone, without allowing for the provision requiring to be made for applications for new votes. These applications now amount to over a million and a half. The total provision for roads and bridges for the current year is very similar in amount to that of last year. The total provision for rail winconstruction for the year is £847,500, which is £83,789 more than was expended on new railways last year. Full particulars in regard to each line of railway in hand are furnished under the heading of " Railway-construction " It will doubtless be a source of disappointment to many resident in Central Otago that no provision is made in this Statement for continuing the Otago Central line towards Hawea, but in view of the present stringency of the London money-market this is quite impossible. Let me now say a few words regarding the so-called co-operative system. Most of the advocates of this system seem to be under the impression that the word " co-operative " is synonymous with small contracts. If the latter is what is desired, then I am in perfect accord with them. True co-operative work presupposes a certain number of workmen voluntarily joining together to execute certain undertakings and sharing the proceeds of their labour. As far as practicable I intend to give effect to this principle. I realize fully, however, that no one system will suffice for carrying on all our public works in a manner satisfactory to the workers and to the community as a whole. This subject will have my careful attention during the recess.

TOTAL EXPENDITURE. The total expenditure of the year on public works was not only in excess of that of the previous year, but was the largest in any single year for over thirty years, and amounted to the very Luge sum of £2.476.156 —viz., £2,387,411 out of the Public Works Fund and allied special accounts, and £88,745 out of the Consolidated Fund. The following table shows the brief particulars of the expenditure of the year, and also the total under each class of work from the inauguration of the public works policy up to the 31st March last : —

I will now give as concise an account as I can of the present position of each of the railways under construction, of what has been done on each of the lines during tii 7 > past year, and what is proposed to be done during the current year. Kaihu Extension. Formation-works on the extension of this line were completed during the year, but four small bridges have yet to be erected and some culverts put in before the rails can be laid to the end of the line. Timber for the bridges is arriving, and the current year should witness the completion of the extension. The expenditure on this line during the last financial year amounted to £6,171, and for the current year a vote of £15,000 is proposed. Kawakawa-Hokianga. During the year earthworks were completed, rails laid, and ballasting practically finished up to Ngapipito Station, seven miles from the junction point at Otiria. Formation over a further section of eight miles and a half is approaching completion, but several small bridges have yet to be built. Temporary structures are being provided to carry the rails, which are expected to reach Otuhi Station during the coming summer. Formation-work was not carried quite up to Kaikohe, pending a final decision as to the site of the Kaikohe Station-yard. The expenditure on the line during the last financial year amounted to £50,527, and for the current year a vote of £40,000 is asked for. Kawakawa-Grahamtown. The final section of this railway between Whangarei and the new wharf at Grahamtown was opened on the 2nd October, 1911, and has been carrying regular traffic since. An oil-engine to operate the lifting span of the Whangarei Bridge was installed, and several details in connection with station buildings attended to. The expenditure during last financial year amounted to £11,647, and for the current year a vote of £3,000 is provided to meet the expenditure which has come to charge since the 31st March last. North Auckland Main Trunk. The construction of the section to Kaiwaka, nearly nine miles beyond the Te Hana terminus, was completed in June last, but, owing to the probability of slips in the clay cuttings during the winter months, the section was not handed over to the Railway authorities. Goods and passengers are being carried over it, however, by the ballast-train. Formation is practically completed up to Otamatea, and is well in hand as far as Maungaturoto, seven miles beyond Kaiwaka. There are two tunnels on the last five miles, one of which is more than half-way towards completion, and the more important one, 24 chains in length, is making good progress. A steel bridge over the Otamatea tideway is being erected by contract. The contract time has already expired, but it will, I fear, be some months before the bridge is completed. The same contractor has the erection of a railway-wharf at Otamatea in hand, and is making fair progress with the work. Beyond Maungaturoto a short length of formation is in hand, and from Kaikohe, where the line will ultimately join the Kawakawa-Hokianga system, about two miles of light formation-work has been carried out. The Kaipara tidal waterways have been utilized to some extent for the transport of heavy materials to the sites of construction-works. During last financial year the total expenditure on this line amounted to £78,622. which is the largest on record for this line, and for the current year a vote of £80,000 is proposed. Huntly-Awaroa. This fine has been located for a distance of five miles and a half, and construc-tion-work over the first three miles has been in progress during the year, but much of the country traversed is low-lying, and progress has been interfered with to some extent by the water in the swamps. Trial surveys have been run over the remainder of the authoiized line and as far as the Waingaro Saddle, the latter part of the route running through rough and difficult country. The contractor for the erection of
D.—l
V
the combined railway and road bridge which will carry the line over the Waikato River is proceeding with his work, but the time fixed for the completion] of the bridge has already expired and a good deal still remains to be done. The total expenditure on the line, including the bridge contract, during last financial year amounted to £7,819, and for the current year a vote of £20,000 is asked for. East Coast Main Trunk. A section from Waihi to Athenree, nine miles in length, was authorized last session, and construction-work commenced on the 11th March last. Formation has since been in progress over a length of about four miles, and the line is located to within a mile of the limit of its authorization. There will be some heavy rockwork on this section, and, as it is not likely to be revenue-producing for quite a considerable period, the Government has decided to suspend operations for the present. On the Maunganui - Te Puke Section the permanent-way has been laid up to the Te Puke Station. The swamps on the Te Puke Section are giving considerable trouble, and are still not showing much sign of final settlement. After examination of several rock-deposits in the locality it was decided to obtain ballasting-material from Moturiki Island, and a branch line half a mile in length has been laid from the terminal station, at Maunganui to a suitable quarry-site, where a complete crushing plant has been installed and in operation since February last. The formed line is now being ballasted with material from this source, which also supplies suitable metal for concrete culverts and other purposes. In order to complete the ballasting as quickly as possible another quarry is to be opened at Te Puke, so that the work may be proceeded with from both ends. Between Te Puke and Paengaroa the line has been located, and formation is in progress over the first two miles, and is within measurable distance of completion. A trial survey has been made over the country from Tauranga westward to the Wairoa River, and a route selected for this portion of the line. During the year considerable surveying-work has been done to ascertain whether a route from Pongakawa, the end of the present authorization, via Lake Rotoma, to Te Teko would be more favourable for the main line than the previously suggested route along the sea-coast. Plans have been prepared and are still under consideration. A trial survey has also been made of the country between Rotorua and Paengaroa, via Okere, with a view to selecting a route for a line to connect the East Coast Railway with the existing terminus at Rotorua, and a suitable route with fair grades has been located. At the Gisborne end the important steel viaduct which carries the railway over the Otoko Gorge was satisfactorily completed under contract, the line ballasted up to the Otoko Station, and the section from Waikohu to Otoko, nearly eight miles in length, opened for regular traffic. The opening took place on the Bth April last. Beyond Otoko formation is complete, and the rails laid to Rakauroa, but frequent slips in the heavy cuttings have at times to be dealt with. Three bridges have been erected, a fourth is approaching completion, and a tunnel eleven miles beyond Otoko has been excavated. The pit at Te Karaka, from which ballast for this line has hitherto been obtained, is exhausted, and a new pit is about to be opened at Te Puha, two miles further on. The gravel still has to be conveyed a considerable distance, but no more suitable source of supply is available at present. Bushfelling is in progress beyond Matawai, and formationworks are following as rapidly as weather-conditions and difficult roads will permit. The foremost formation parties are located beyond the Matawai Station-yard, forty-five miles from Gisborne. The section of railway to connect Gisborne with Napier has been located for a distance of eighteen miles from the junction point at Makaraka, and the trial line has been continued to a point opposite Tiniroto, forty-six miles from the junction. Formation-work was commenced at various places up to the ninth mile in April last.

At the Napier end the line has been authorized for about fifteen miles, located for about ten miles, and the light formation along the Western Spit was commenced in February last. Up to the present about six miles of formation have been completed, while work is in hand over another mile, and borings have been made to test the nature of sites for the bridge to carry the line across the Inner Harbour. As the work that has been in hand on this line will be useless until the bridge over the harbour has been built, and liable to deterioration by the weather and wandering stock, it has been decided to suspend it for the present. It can easily be resumed when the bridge is approaching completion. The expenditure during last financial year on the different sections of the East Coast Railway between Waihi and Napier was as follows :— £ Waihi to Athenree . . . . . . . . 22 Tauranga to Paengaroa .. .. .. .. 26,740 Gisborne to Motu .. .. .. .. 78,614 Cisborne to Napier, north end . . . . . . 1,437 Gisborne to Napier, south end . . . . . . 294 For the current year votes are proposed as under : — Waihi Tauranga .. .. .. .. .. 5,000 Tauranga-Paengaroa . . . . . . . . 25,000 Gisborne-Motu . . . . .. .. . . 80,000 Napier-Gisborne, north end . . . . . . 15,000 Napier-Gisborne, south end . . 12,000 Total .. .. .. .. . . 137,000 Stratford - Main Trunk. Steady progress has been made during the year with the heavy constructionworks at the western end of this line, although the nature of the country traversed and the weather-conditions prevailing during the greater part of the year handicapped the operations to an appreciable extent. The section from Te Wera to Pohokura. 8 miles 55 chains in length, has been finished, and Landed over to the Railway Department for regular traffic. Beyond Pohokura the 30-chain tunnel through the Whangamomona Saddle was finished in March, the heavy formation-works up to Whangamomona practically completed, and the piers for a bridge between the tunnel and the township built in readiness for the superstructure, which is being manufactured under contract. Some smaller bridges Lave still to be erected before the township is reached. Slips in several of the heavy cuttings on this length Lave given trouble, and it is expected that further slips will occur owing to the liability of the papa formation to give way. Rails have been laid to within two miles of AVLangamomona, and ballasting completed up to the tunnel, about a mile behind the rail-head. Beyond Whangamomona earthworks are in hand over a length of seven miles and a half, and temporary bridges have been built over most of the streams to facilitate the transport of materials, shingle, and cement. A tunnel through the Tahora Saddle, seven miles from Whangamomona, Las been commenced. The country beyond Tahora is of an exceptionally difficult nature for railway-construction, and careful trial surveys are being made so as to ensure the selection of the best available route to carry the line into the Ohura Valley. With the object of giving the settlers in. the fertile Ohura district the benefit of access to a railway during the years which must elapse before the line from Taranaki can reach their settlement, it was last year decided to commence the construction of this line from the eastern end, and after investigation a good route was found, leaving the Main Trunk line about one mile and a half south of Te Koura Station, leading up the Okahukara Valley, negotiating the dividing-range by means of a 74-chain tunnel, running down the Otahu Valley to Matiere, and thence on to Ohura. This route is six miles sLorter than the original one from Ongarue. The new line was authorized last year, and formation-work started in November last. A serviceroad, over seven miles in length, is being formed, which will, on completion, serve as a main road from the Ohura Valley to Taumarunui. The railway-route has been cleared from the junction up to the tunnel-site, and cuttings opened in various places
D.—l
VII
along the first two miles. Plans of the projected tunnel are being prepared, with a view to inviting tenders for its construction. During the financial year the expenditure on the works at both ends of this line amounted to £81,806, and for the current year a vote of £00,000 is proposed. Mount Eomont Branch. A small amount of formation-work was carried out during the year, timber for bridges procured, and investigations made as to the best means of working the stone-quarry which the line is to serve. Expenditure during the last financial year amounted to £2,653, and for the current year a vote of £10,000 is asked for. Opunake Branch. Tn April last a commission was appointed to inquire and report as to the best means of serving by railway the fertile and closely settled portion of Taranaki lying to the westward of the existing main line. The Commission made a thorough investigation throughout the district, and in its report, which has already been laid before Parliament, recommended the construction of a line from New Plymouth in a south-westerly direction between Mount Egmont and the sea, passing close to Opunake. traversing the rich Waimate Plains, and joining the existing line near Te Roti Station. A short brancL from Kapuni to Kaponga was also recommended, capable of extension to Stratford, and also a second branch from the same place (Kapuni) to Manaia. The total length of construction recommended by the Commission was 72i miles, estimated to cost £530,000. The programme outlined is more comprehensive and costly than appears necessary to serve the present requirements of the district : but railway facilities are undoubtedly required for the transport of the large and increasing output from the dairy factories between the existing main line and the western sea-coast. After mature consideration the Government has decided to ask Parliament to authorize the construction of a branch railway from the main line to Opunake. The line will be twenty-three miles in length, and, the country along the route being for the most part favourable, the cost of construction will probably be below the average of recent years. Ohakune-Raetihi Branch. Construction-work was formally commenced at Ohakune Station in February* but further investigation disclosed a more suitable route than that originally selected, and the line has now been relocated on the new route. Some clearing-work has been carried out near Ohakune Township, two miles distant, where the route is not affected by the change in the junction-point. The expenditure during the late financial year was very small —namely, £104; but for the current year a vote of £10,000 is proposed. Manawapou Deviation. A deviation of one mile and a quarter of the line between Manutahi and Mokoia (Wellington - New Plymouth main line) in connection witli the renewal of the Manawapou Viaduct is in hand under the Railway Department. The old timber viaduct is being replaced by a modern steel structure on concrete and steel piers at a level 28 ft. above that of the old bridge. The whole cost of the new bridge (about £8,000) is being charged to railway maintenance. The deviation, for which funds have been provided by the Public Works Department, comprises heavy earthworks, farm overbridges, &c, on the new alignment. The gradient approaching the bridge is improved from 1 in 50 to 1 in 70. The works on the deviation are nearly finished. A small proportion of earthwork which cannot be done till the new bridge is erected will complete the job. The expenditure out of last year's vote amounted to £10,993, and for the current year an amount of £4,000 is asked for.

South Island Main Trunk. Formation from the terminus at Ward to Mirza Station, three miles and a half distant, is almost completed, and the whole length is ready for platelaying. The formation between Mirza and Mills, a little to the south of the Ure River, is of a heavier character, and works are in hand over the whole of it. A tender has just been accepted for the construction of a combined road and railway bridge over the Ure River, two miles and a half south of Mirza, the contract price being £3,859. Extensive plantations of sand-binding grasses and shrubs are being made on the cuttings and banks and adjacent areas on this section. The engineering survey of the Kekerangu Section is in hand. At the south end work has been carried on principally on the Parnassus Section, eight miles and a half in length, which is practically finished, and is in hand on the Mendip Section for nearly four miles beyond Parnassus. During the last financial year the expenditure at both ends of this line amounted to £55,661, and for the current year votes of £20,000 and £30,000 are proposed for the north and south ends respectively. Westport-Inangahua. The first section of 5 miles 74 chains to Te Kuha was completed and opened for traffic in April last. Construction-work, consisting mainly of rock-cuttings, with occasional short tunnels along the north bank of the Buller River, has been in progress during the year for a further distance of over four miles. The first half-mile is being carried out by co-operative labour, and is approaching completion, and the remainder Las been let in seventeen small contracts, principally taken up by parties or workmen. Five of the contracts have been completed, one was abandoned by the contractors, on two others progress is somewhat tardy, but on the remainder the rate of progress is quite satisfactory. The Department's experience on this line is that rock-excavation costs less under the contract system than by co-operative labour, but that there is no appreciable difference in the cost of tunnels or bushfelling. The line is authorized for eight miles beyond the limit of the formation contracts. During last financial year the expenditure on this line amounted to £21,572, and for the current year a vote of £20,000 is proposed. Greymouth - Point Elizabeth. Unfavourable weather-conditions during the greater part of the year, and numerous slips in the heavy cuttings, retarded the completion of this length of railway, which is to serve the new State colliery at Point Elizabeth. Formation is practically complete, and platelaying and ballasting are beingjpushed on with all possible expedition. The central brake-rail for the Fell system on the incline has yet to be fixed in position, and one small bridge remains to be finished. The expenditure on the line during last financial year amounted to £25,420, and for the current year a vote of £12,000 is asked for, which should carry the line to completion. Ross-Mikonui. The construction of an extension of the- railway from Ross to the south side of the Mikonui River, about four miles in length, was authorized last year, and a vote of £5,000 on account of the work appeared on the estimates. During the year a survey of three miles of the route was made and plans prepared, but no construction-work was done. The expenditure out of the appropriation amounted to £51. Midland. At the Nelson end the section between Kiwi and Glenhope, 12 miles 58 chains in length, was completed and op mcd for traffic on the 2nd ultimo. The opening of this section is a matter of some importance to the settleis along tht Buller River and in the Murchison district, as it brings the line into the watershed of the Buller River, shortening tlie coach journey by twenty-two miles, and saving the heavy haulage over the Hope Saddle. Bushfelling and clearing along the next two miles
D.—l
IX
has been completed, and formation-works are in hand over most of the same length, and the survey has been extended to Kawatiri. At the Reefton end of the line the section between Cronadun and the Inangahua Landing was finished early in the year, but still remains in the hands of thePublic Works Department. On the next section of five miles to the Inangahua Junction formation-work is approaching completion, only the platelaying and ballasting remaining to be done. It is proposed to complete the line to a temporary station on the west side of the Inangahua, pending consideration of the best point for a junction with the railways that will eventually connect with Westport and Nelson. The most important feature on the unfinished portion of the Westland-Canter-bury line is the Arthur's Pass Tunnel, a contract for the construction of which was let in August, 1907. The time fixed for the completion of the work expired on the Ist August last, by which time the contractors had driven the bottom heading for a total length of 2 miles 20 chains, and completed excavation for 1 mile 63 chains. There remained 3 miles 5 chains between [the headings, and a distance of 3 miles 42 chains between the two ends of the fully excavated tunnel. On the expiry of the contract time the contractors informed the Government that their financial resources were exhausted, and that they were consequently unable to carry the work to completion. They have applied to be relieved of the contract, and their petition is still under consideration by a special Committee of Parliament. On the Canterbury side steady progress is being made with the formation between the terminus of the opened line at Cass and the Bealey, where the tunnel contract commences. The works are of a very heavy nature, including rock-cuttings, shingle-banks along the Waimakariri and Bealey River beds, and bridges over several snow-fed streams. Stone protective works are necessary in many places. Formation is complete to within about three miles of Bealey, and is well in hand over the remaining length. Three bridges have yet to be built, but it is probable that under favourable conditions the line to the Bealey Valley will be completed during the coming summer. The Bealey Valley Station will be the terminus until the completion of the Arthur's Pass Tunnel. The expenditure on the different sections of the Midland Railway during last financial year was as follows :• — Nelson end.. .. .. .. .. .. 19,869 Reefton end .. .. . . .. .. 14,051 Otira-Bealey .. .. .. .. .. 56,914 Bealey-Cass .. .. .. .. .. 42,290 For the current year the following appropriations are proposed : — £ Nelson end .. .. .. .. .. 30,000 Reefton end .. .. .. .. .. 17,000 Otira-Bealey .. .. .. .. .. 70,000 Bealey-Cass .. .. .. .. .. 50,000 Total .. .. .. .. .. £167,000 Waimate Branch Extension. Last year's authorizations included an extension of the Waimate Branch line from Waihao Downs to Waihaorunga, about four miles through good grain-growing country, and a vote of £5,000 was provided on the estimates to make a commencement with the work. The route has never been properly surveyed, and during the year the services of a competent Engineer could not be spared to locate the fine ; consequently no construction-work was undertaken, and there was no expenditure out of the allocation. Last year's vote of £5,000 is repeated on the estimates. Catlin's-Waimahaka. This railway is complete to Puketiro Station, 7 miles 22 chains beyond the terminus of the open line at Houipapa, but the new section is still retained in the hands of the Public Works Department to permit of the convenient haulage of ballast and stone from the quarry at Houipapa for the length ahead. The rails have also been laid on the next section as far as Caberfeidh Station and the line

partly ballasted, and formation-work is in progress to the Papatowai Station site, and progress is satisfactory considering the difficult nature of the country and the unfavourable weather-conditions which have prevailed during the year. Slips have been frequent, in one instance necessitating a deviation of the line to avoid moving ground. A service tramway has been laid ahead of the works for the transport of plant and supplies, as service-road construction in this locality would be difficult and expensive. A temporary goods service is carried on from Houipapa to Puketiro for the convenience of settlers and workmen until the section can be opened for regular traffic. The line has been located up to the end of the present authorization in the Tahakopa Valley. A contract has been let for the erection of a bridge to carry the railway over the Maclennan River, at a cost of £3,121. At the Waimahaka end a few minor works to complete the recently opened Tokonui Section were attended to, and a further length of nearly seven miles beyond Tokonui was located. Five miles and a half of the new section was authorized by the Act of last year, but it is not intended to resume construction-work at this end during the current year. The expenditure on both ends of this line during last financial year was £52,688. and for the current year a total vote of £50,000 is proposed. Lawrence-Roxburgh. The excavation of the Big Hill Tunnel has been in progress during the year. The bottom heading is through, and enlarging and lining are being carried on from both ends. Formation-work is in hand for two miles beyond the tunnel, and the line has been located up to the Beaumont Township. The expenditure during the last financial year was £15,964, and for the current year a vote of £20,000 is proposed. Orepuki - Waiau Extension. On last year's appropriations there was a vote of £5,000 for the extension of the railway from Tuatapere, and a line through Orawia to the Wairakei River was authorized. Representations were, however, made to the Government in favour of the adoption of an alternative route from Waikouro, on the Nightcaps Branch, to serve the Orawia and adjoining districts, and it was decided to make a trial survey of the latter route before any construction was begun. The survey has recently been completed, and the result is under consideration. There was no expenditure out of last year's allocation. Winton - Heddon Bush. Last year also a branch line thirteen miles in length was authorized, from Winton to Heddon Bush, a fertile agricultural district, and a vote of £10,000 provided for commencing its construction. There was no expenditure out of the allocation, but a vote of £8,000 is proposed for the current year. Total Appropriations for Railway-construction. In addition to the votes already mentioned, an appropriation of £100,000 is required for permanent-way materials for all lines ; also £1,500 for land claims and other liabilities on account of votes of previous years which have not been renewed ; also a vote of £5,000 for surveys of projected new fines : making a total proposed vote for railway-construction purposes of £847,500. Other Railway Works. During the year under review the sum of £134,892 was spent in providing signals and interlocking, lock and block and tablet installation, telegraph and telephone extensions, purchase of land, bridge-work, sidings, wharves, weighbridges, turn-tables, water services, additions to workshops, station buildings and dwellings, electric-light and gas installation, deviation of line, reduction of grades, and curves. £227,302 was spent on rolling-stock, tarpaulins, motor rail-car, pneumatic coaling-cranes, workshops machinery, and the new steamer for Lake Wakatipu.

The work connected with the duplication of the Dunedin-Mosgiel line is being pushed on as fast as practicable. Double track has been opened as far as Abbotsford, but the difficult nature of the ground through which the Chain Hills Tunnel is being pierced has retarded the operations somewhat. The expenditure last year on railway duplications and contingent works was £59,133, made up as follows : — £ Wellington-Hutt duplication-work .. .. .. 1,635 New Hutt Road (including land for same) .. . . 6,070 Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication and deviation of line . . 51,428 £59,133 For the current year provision has been made on the estimates to the extent of £47,300 for,— £ Wellington-Hutt duplication-work . . .. 2,000 New Hutt Road .. . . .. 5,300 Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication and deviation .. .. 40,000 Total .. .. . . .. .. £47,300 The amount proposed to be voted for the current year for " Additions to Open Lines " is £457,000, of which sum £270,000 is for new rolling-stock and workshops machinery, &c. ; £7,000 for Lake Wakatipu new steamer ; and £180,000 for various new works. Light Railways. Railway-construction throughout the Dominion has, during the last ten years, been proceeded with at a rate as rapid as can be considered warrantable by any one having regard to the financial obligations which we, as trustees for posterity, are justified in incurring. Each year witnesses an appreciable increase in the mleage of lines completed and opened for traffic ; nevertheless the applications received from all parts of the country for new railways and for extensions of existing lines— in many cases with every prospect of returning a profit sufficient to pay interest on the cost of construction—are more than the Government can see its way with prudent financial administration to entertain. A moderate calculation places the length of railways still required to give an efficient service throughout the Dominion at 1,500 to 2,000 miles, the cost of which, calculated at £8,000 per mile (which is a fair average under prevailing conditions), will amount to £12,000,000 to £16,000,000. Hitherto all our railways have been constructed in accordance with a high standard as regards stability of formation, weight of rails, and quality of permanent-way generally, but I suggest to honourable members that the time has arrived when we should consider the question of providing lighter and cheaper railways to serve the districts where settlement is advancing and where the maintenance of roads, in fit condition to carry produce to the main fines throughout the year, is likely to prove a heavy burden to the settlers. In the interior of the North Island, particularly, road-construction is an expensive undertaking, and the maintenance under heavy and regular traffic is in many instances likely to be a continuous burden owing to the absence of metal and th§ rapid deterioration of the formation through broken country in wet weather. If the bulk of the produce could be carried on rails to the main lines, or to an outlet to the markets, the roads would be relieved of the worst of the traffic, and the settlers would not be exposed to the heavy charges, and sometimes long delays, now incurred in bringing their produce to a distant railway. It is not proposed to depart from the standard 3 ft. 6 in. gauge, but considerable saving can be effected by decreasing the width of banks, avoiding tunnels and heavy cuttings by adopting a steeper maximum grade and sharper curves, constructing bridges of fight design, using lighter rails than the present minimum of 55 lb., reducing the standard depth of ballasting, and greatly curtailing the expenditure on station buildings. The retention of the 3 ft. 6 in. gauge is important, as the experience of countries where a gauge as narrow as 2 ft. has been adopted is that rolling-stock has still to be provided of standard height with greatly reduced width, which renders the passenger-carriages and covered vans less capable

of resisting wind-pressure unless permanently loaded with dead-weight at the base, which is undesirable. In a country like New Zealand, where high winds are frequent in most parts, it would often not be safe to run regular traffic, particularly in mountainous localities, on a line only 2 ft. wide. The most favourable lines to operate as light lines are disconnected sections carrying their own locomotives and rolling-stock, which never go off the section. It will not be feasible to adopt much lighter construction where a line is traversed by express trains carrying passengers at a high rate of speed, or on lines where coal or timber forms any considerable portion of the freight to be handled, as both these commodities require heavy rolling-stock and a line up to the standard of strength. It is desirable that any section on which the system is tried should be long enough to maintain in use its own equipment of locomotives and rollingstock. 4 Short branches of a main line, which would necessarily have to be traversed by the rolling-stock of the main fine, would be better built in accordance with the usual standards. ROADS AND BRIDGES. The provision made on last year's appropriations for road and bridge works under all votes and accounts (including the Consolidated Fund vote for maintenance) amounted to a total of £838,060. As in the previous year, in nearly every case where it was anticipated that the local bodies would undertake the work they were given the opportunity of doing so. The offers of expenditure of available balances on the votes provided on the main and supplementary estimates were despatched on the 16th and 27th October, being the respective dates on which the estimates were presented to Parliament, so that there can be no just complaint of delay in advising local bodies of what moneys were available. Authorities to proceed with works which were to be carried out by the Department's own Engineers were also issued promptly after the passing of the appropriations. Including the unexpended balances of authorities brought forward from the previous financial year, the total authorized during the year amounted to no less a sum than £992,856. Despite these facts, however, the expenditure of the year amounted to only £526,489, leaving an unexpended balance of authorities amounting to £466,367 as at 31st March last. Between the Ist April last and 31st July further authorities amounting to £145,796 were issued, making the total amount authorized as at 31st July £612,163. The expenditure brought to charge during the four months, Ist April to 31st July, amounted to £160,003. The large sum of money authorized during the financial year shows clearly that an earnest effort was made to give every opportunity of fully expending the votes, but the fact that only £526,489 was expended seems to indicate that it is impossible to expend in the time available so large a sum as was authorized. Shortage of suitable labour at the best time of the year, and the unusually wet weather-conditions which prevailed, doubtless to a large extent adversely affected the progress of works; but one reason I think why the amount voted was not fully expended is the multiplicity of small votes. On last year's appropriations the average amount of votes provided under " Roads, &c." vote for the North Island was approximately £210, the total number of items being about 2,300. It may safely be asserted that the smaller the average amount of individual votes the greater will be the cost of administration and the difficulty of expending them. It is much easier and also less costly to expend £5,000 on one road than to expend £500 on each of ten roads in different localities, and, apart even from the question of facilitating expenditure, I am convinced that a policy of concentrating expenditure of whatever moneys may be available on roads of primary importance instead of doling out a few hundred pounds yearly to each of a ridiculously large number of roads, some of which are only of third- or fourth-rate importance, will result in far greater material progress in the roading of our backblock districts, and eventually prove itself to the best interests of all concerned. The existing obligations in regard to votes previously provided for on the appropriations and works in hand rendered it impracticable to make a commencement with such a policy in compiling the estimates for the current year; but during the recess the question will be carefully gone into, and, combined with a measure giving more assured finance to local governing bodies, I hope to see results achieved in the near future which will speedily remove the disabilities under which many of our settlers at present labour owing to want of adequate means of communication with markets.

Since assuming office I have observed that difficulties frequently arise as to the approval by departmental Engineers of plans prepared by local bodies for erection of bridges to be built out of Government grants. With a view to overcoming this, instructions will be issued for the preparation of standard drawings for bridges of varying sizes and classes, which, when completed, will be available for use by local authorities. By this am assured that economy in construction and, generally speaking, a very much better class of bridge should result. My predecessors have had occasion to draw attention to the unwillingness of some local bodies to accept their proper responsibilities in regard to maintenance-work. I have again to emphasize the matter. The law provides that all roads in a county are county roads unless specially declared by Order in Council to be Government roads, and the duty of maintaining such county roads unquestionably devolves upon the local governing body. Local bodies in some cases plead that they are financially unable to undertake the work, but in such cases it is usually found that they are not levying the full amount of rates which the law allows. The neglect of local bodies in this matter and the exceptionally wet season necessitated the expenditure out of the Consolidated Fund vote for maintenance of £37,449 during last financial year, and during the four months of the current year ended the 31st July last a further sum of £17,290 was authorized. A considerable proportion of the expenditure last year and of that authorized this year represents work which should have been provided for by the local authorities. Roads on Goldfields. The total authorizations last year under this head amounted to £97,444, on account of which a vote of £55,320 was taken. The vote was made up of no less than 460 different items, so that the average amount voted to each item was only about £120. The expenditure during the year amounted to £41,067. It is necessary to continue;, to assist local authorities by means of grants and subsidies towards the construction of roads and tracks to facilitate the opening-up of our mineral lands and to enable prospecting operations to be carried on, and a substantial vote for this purpose is included in the estimates. I found on closely examining the items of last year's vote that several of them were really not for roads in connection with mining enterprises at all, and such votes, where it was necessary to renew them, have accordingly been transferred to the general roads vote or to the vote for backblocks roads. Total Appropriations for Road-works. Last year's appropriations were as under :— £ Roads, &c. .. .. . . .. .. 297,945 Backblock roads .. .. .. .. 301,545 Roads on goldfields .. .. .. .. 55,320 Opening up Crown Lands for Settlement Account .. 100,000 National Endowment Account . . . . 19,350 Land for Settlements Account .. .. .. 14,900 New Hutt Road .. .. .. 14,000 Maintenance of roads (Consolidated Fund) .. .. 35,000 Total .. .. .. £838,060 The provision for the current year is as under : — • £ Roads, &c. .. .. .. .. .. 300,000 Backblock roads.. .. .. .. .. 200,000 Roads on goldfields .. .. .. .. 50,000 Opening up Crown Lands for Settlement Account .. 100,000 National Endowment Account .. .. .. 19,200 Land for Settlements Account .. . . .. 20,000 New Hutt Road .. .. .. .. 5,300 Maintenance of roads (Consolidated Fund) .. .. 40,000 Total .. .. .. .. £734,500

DEVELOPMENT OF GOLDFIELDS. The extension of the Kumara Water-race referred to in last year's statement has since been completed, and was formally opened by my predecessor on the 12th April last. The miners have since been getting their claims into working-order, and it is hoped that employment for a considerable number of men will be assured for some years to come. Expenditure under the heading " Assistance towards Prospecting and Mining Companies " is now provided for under the Mines, Miscellaneous, vote of the Consolidated Fund, as it is considered that such expenditure is a fairer charge against a revenue vote than against Capital Account. Good work has been done by the Department's drills, the results being so satisfactory that it has been decided to procure another keystone drill for use in connection with the alluvial deposits of the West Coast. The amount expended last year on the development of our goldfields was £21,245, and a vote of £13,000 is proposed for the current year. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The total expenditure on public buildings last year amounted to £491,921. The amount is made up as under :— £ New buildings (Class XVIII, Public Works Fund) . . 350,655 Maintenance-works (Class V, Consolidated Fund) . . 48,864 Maintenance-works (Schools) (Class XV, Consolidated Fund) .. .. 92,402 £491,921 For the current year the following appropriations are proposed :— £ New buildings (Public Works Fund) . . 465,500 Maintenance-works (Consolidated Fund) 64,792 Maintenance-works (Schools) (Consolidated Fund) . . 95,550 £625,842 General. Under this head the principal expenditure occurred in connection with the new Departmental Buildings at Christchurch and Invercargill, while smaller sums were expended in connection with the Parliament Buildings, and the two Government Houses, &c. The current year's vote provides a further substantial instalment on account of the Christchurch Departmental Buildings, and also £36,000 in connection with the new Parliament Buildings ; also smaller sums for the Departmental Buildings at Hamilton, New Plymouth, Stratford, Blenheim, and Hokitika, and sundry other items. The alteration of the grounds in connection with the proposed new Parliament Buildings and the rearrangement of the surrounding streets is well in hand and in some respects is approaching completion, and the detailed plans of the buildings themselves are nearly ready, a portion of the plans having already been placed on exhibition in the present temporary Parliament Buildings. The foundations for the first section of the building are being carried out by day labour under the supervision of the Public Works Department and are well advanced. It is proposed to invite tenders for the erection of the building when the foundations are complete. The Government is in hopes that the first section of the building will be completed and available for occupation for the session of 1915. Judicial. Courthouses. —The principal buildings in hand during the year were the new Courthouses at Auckland, Masterton, and Greymouth, and the additions at New Plymouth. The current year's vote provides for completing the buildings already mentioned, and, in addition, provides for new Courthouses at Kaitaia, Kaikohe, Waipu, Otoro-

hanga, Ohakune, Raetihi, Wanganui, Martinborough, Takaka, Methven, Balclutha, and Wyndham, and also covers additions and alterations to buildings at other places. Gaols.— -Last year's expenditure was principally in connection with new gaols at Invercargill, Auckland, and Gisborne. The proposed vote includes further provision on account of the buildings mentioned, and also the purchase of land for a reformatory farm, &c. Police-stations. —A very large number of police-stations were dealt with during the year, the principal being Wellsfo' d, Mount Albert, Grey Lynn, Eden Terrace, Parnell, Morrinsville, Frankton, Te Kuiti, Te Puke, Napier, Waverley, Taihape, Otaki, Johnsonville, Wellington (Mount Cook), Wellington South, Rangiora, New Brighton, Riccarton, Timaru, and South Invercargill. For the current year provision is made for increased accommodation at Waipu, Herekino, Maungaturoto, Warkworth, Northcote, Takapuna, Devonport, Kingsland, Freeman's Bay, Mount Roskill, Mount Eden, Ponsonby, Epsom, Howick, Huntly, Ngaruawahia, Thames, Tokaanu, Otorohanga, Taumarunui, Tokomaru Bay, Gisborne, Patutahi, Mohaka, Hastings, Porangahau, Whangamomona, Wanganui, Masterton, Wellington, Island Bay, Kilbirnie, Eastbourne, Brooklyn, Wakefield, Murchison, Charleston, Cobden, Ross, Islington, Ashburton, Temuka, Waitati, Dunedin, Mornington, North-east Valley, Middlemarch, Mataura, Tapanui, Nightcaps, and sundry other places. Post and Telegraph. The business of the Post and Telegraph Department is increasing very rapidly, and to provide the necessary facilities to enable the work to be overtaken an extensive building programme has been and still is necessary. During the last financial year very extensive and handsome buildings have been in course of erection at Auckland and Wellington, which have entailed considerable expenditure ; and smaller new offices have been erected or extensive additions provided at Kaeo, Warkworth, Kingsland, Ellerslie, Kirikiriroa, Te Awamutu, Te Aroha, Ongarue, Taupo, Matata, Taneatua, Manutuke, Wairoa, Taradale, Tikokino, Rahotu, Eltham, Manaia, Wanganui, Rangiwahia, Shannon, Hutt, Porirua, Wellington (Tinakori Road), Wellington (Adelaide Road), Kilbirnie, Murchison, Granity, Westport, Runanga, Culverden, Amberley, Leeston, Rakaia, Waimate, Green Island, Balclutha, Kaitangata, and Riverton, while work of less magnitude has also been carried out at numerous other places. The vote for the current year provides for new buildings or extensive additions at Awanui, Kaitaia, Kaikohe, Kawakawa, Hikurangi, Dargaville, Mangawai, Northcote, Takapuna, Auckland (Wellesley Street), Mount Albert, Ponsonby, Newton, Remuera, Otahuhu, Manurewa, Papakura, Waiuku, Tuakau, Hamilton, Raglan, Ohaupo, Awakino, Waihou, Matamata, Tirau, Putaruru, Rotorua, Taumarunui, Ohura, Kakahi, Owhango, Raurimu, Tokaanu, Opotiki, Napier, Clive, Havelock North, Pukehou, Otane, Waipukurau, Ormondville, Whangamomona, Okaiawa, St. John's, Halcombe, Pongaroa, Eketahuna, Petone, Kaiwarra, Brooklyn, Seddon, Wakapuaka, Port Nelson, Takaka, Millerton, Reefton, Waiuta, Woodend, Papanui, Christchurch (Avon Road), Sydenham, Upper Riccarton, Sumner, Lyttelton, Tai Tapu, Akaroa, Little River, Timaru, Pleasant Point, Ravensbourne, North-east Valley, Dunedin, South Dunedin, Anderson's .Bay, Hawea Flat, Roxburgh, Arrowtown, Mataura, Balfour, Bluff, Otautau, and Orepuki Post-offices, besides the completion of the new buildings at Auckland and Wellington, and a large new bulk store in Wellington. Mental Hospitals. At Auckland shelter-sheds have been erected in the male and female airingcourts, and a pavilion on the bowling-green. Plans for additions for seventy-five patients near the main building are now being prepared. Alterations at the old quarantine-station on Motuihi Island are being made for the temporary accommodation of sixty males and thirty females, pending the erection of the permanent buildings at Auckland. Compensation has been paid for the Native land taken at Tokanui, and a contract for the permanent buildings for the accommodation of patients has been let, and a building for fifty patients is under way. The land is being fenced and brought into cultivation, and cottages are being erected for attendants. A pressure water-supply is being provided.

At Porirua additions for the accommodation of forty patients and twenty attendants have been commenced, and an auxiliary reservoir has been provided. The question of a suitable system of filtration for the water-supply has been under consideration, and something in this direction will have to be done shortly. An amount has been placed on the estimates for this. The old gaol at Hokitika which was handed over by the Justice Department has been fitted up for the accommodation of patients, and sixty males were transferred there from Porirua at the end of June. At Christchurch a refrigerating plant has been installed, and additions for fifty female patients commenced. At Seacliff additions to Simla and a new infirmary block at the rear of the main building are under way. A contract for a new water-supply has been let, and the work is now being carried out. There has been a shrinkage in the water-supply in recent years, which rendered the provision of a new supply a matter of necessity. At the Waitati auxiliary a building to accommodate fifty patients is being erected. School Buildings. The amount expended out of the Public Works Fund on school buildings during last financial year was £89,535. Of this amount, over £78,000 was paid in the form of grants to the respective governing bodies for the erection and equipment of public schools and teachers' residences, secondary schools, and technical schools. The balance of nearly £11,000 was expended on buildings directly under the control of the Education Department—viz., industrial schools, Native schools, and the Home for Backward Children, Otekaike, near Oamaru. The following were the principal works carried out at these schools : A cottage was erected for the gardener at Auckland Industrial School, and a gymnasium was built and an additional cottage home completed at the Boys' Training-farm, Weraroa ; this institution was also connected with the Levin Borough water-supply. At the Girls' Reformatory (Te Oranga Home) at Christchurch improvements were made to the water-supply, and a subsidy was granted towards the cost of a swimming-bath. Native schools (and residences) were erected at Taharoa (Kawhia), and at Rangiahua, Waihua, and Whakaki (all in the Wairoa district, Hawke's Bay). At the Home for Backward Children an additional block of buildings was provided. Workers' Dwellings. There has been considerable activity in the work of erecting dwellings for workers during the year, the expenditure having amounted to £22,644. A much larger expenditure is anticipated during the current year, however, and provision to the amount of £60,000 is made on the estimates. This sum includes the cost of acquisition of land, road-formation, and the erection, alteration, and enlargement of dwellings. All the work is being carried out under of the Department of Labour. Hospitals. Under the heading of " Hospitals and Charitable Institutions " there was an expenditure of £12,745 on new buildings and additions, principally in connection with the St. Helens Hospital at Wellington. The items on this year's estimates total £17,800, on account of which a vote of £9,500 is required. It is proposed to provide substantial additions to the St. Helens Hospital, Christchurch, or an entirely new building, the question of which course should be taken not having yet been settled, also an isolation cottage and other additions at St. Helens Hospital, Dunedin. The isolation ward has now been completed and opened. Provision is also made for an infectious-diseases hospital and a cottage hospital at Rotorua, and this work is now well in hand. There is an item of £2,000 for special cases in general hospitals. This is to provide special accommodation for mental cases which obtain admission to the general hospitals. Such accommodation has already been erected at Palmerston North, Greymouth, Invercargill, Gisborne, and New Plymouth, and other of the larger hospitals are moving in the matter. The Government T hasJundertaken the initial cost incurred by Hospital Boards in providing accommodation of this nature.

Agriculture. The steps taken by the Agricultural Department to provide a course of training for lads in practical farming at the experimental farms have proved popular. At Ruakura, where the scheme was inaugurated, all the available accommodation has been taken up, and there are numerous applications on hand for vacancies. Some expenditure was necessary last year in completing and equipping the buildings ; but, with the demand for places, it will be necessary to consider the provision of additional accommodation. Further drainage-work was carried out on the farm. Owing to the wet nature of the land, expenditure on drainage will be necessary for some time to come. The cost is, however, amply repaid by the increased productivity of the soil. At Waerenga Experimental Farm the provision of an adequate and permanent water-supply was completed. The Department's lease from the Native owners of portion of the Moumahaki Experimental Farm ran out year, and it was decided to purchase the area and add it permanently to the farm. Considerable improvements had been effected by the Department on the land acquired. At Weraroa Experimental Farm the stumping of paddocks previously under bush was continued, thus increasing the area available for cultivation. Some alterations were carried out with a view to providing accommodation for a few learners. A fumigation-shed was erected at Invercargill in order to enable the fumigation of fruit and plants to be carried out there, thus avoiding the necessity for sending consignments to Dunedin for this purpose. DEVELOPMENT OF WATER-POWER. The installation of the electric-power plant at Lake Coleridge for the supply of Christchurch and Canterbury generally has been pushed on during the year. The following contracts for necessary headworks and plant have been placed :—
Plans and specifications for the power-house buildings are ready for issue, the excavation for the foundation is already in hand, and this work will be completed by October, 1913. Owing to the proximity of excellent shingle in the Rakaia River bed and to the cost of transport of other materials, the power-house has been designed entirely in ferro-concrete. A site for the main substation near the Addington Workshops is being acquired, and the substation building will be completed by September, 1913. These will complete the necessary contracts with the exception of the trans-mission-line poles, tenders for which have been received, under which delivery is to be made within eight months. It is thus anticipated that the whole of the necessary plant will be to hand between March and July of next year, when erection and installation will be proceeded with at once.

In the meanwhile the necessary extension of the main road (four miles) to give access to the power-house and the necessary service roads (four miles and a half) for the tunnel have been completed, and the tunnel inlet and outlet works are in hand, and will be completed in ample time. The site for the permanent staff village has been fenced and roaded, and the contract for the staff cottages is practically completed. The determining feature in the completion of the installation and the commencement of supply is the tunnel contract. This was let on the 16th February, 1912, and the contract date for completion is the 16th August, 1913. The country being encountered is very easy and rapid progress should be made, but on the 20th September only 18| out of 107 chains had been driven, and the lining had not been commenced. Steps are being taken to ensure more rapid progress, and it is anticipated that the tunnel will be completed by the end of next year. Under these circumstances arrangements have been made with the Christchurch City Council and a provisional contract entered into to commence supply as from the Ist May, 1914. The annual charge agreed upon, which will form the basis of other similar agreements, is at the rate of £8 13s. 4(1. per kilowatt (£6 10s. per horse-power) of maximum load up to 300 kilowatts (400 horse-power), and £5 per kilowatt (£3 15s. per horse-power) of maximum load for all over 300 kilowatts. This will enable the city authorities to convert, distribute, and retail the energy at about one-half their present charges. Investigations with regard to the most suitable sources of supply in the North Island have been and are still being made. The question is being dealt with in a comprehensive manner with a view to making electric power generally available throughout the Island, not only in the cities but also in country districts, and for the operation of light railways and ultimately main-fine railways. The sources of power investigated so far are Lake Waikaremoana, and the Hutt, Makuri, Waiohine and Tauherenikau Rivers, but as several additional sources still have to be examined in detail no definite and final proposals can yet be drawn up. Last year's vote for development of water-power was £50,000, but only £9,082 was expended. For the current year an a ppropriation of £85,000 is proposed. Railway Electrification. Complete investigations have been made and specifications drawn up for the electrification of the Christchurch-Lyttelton line so that tenders can be invited for this work without delay as soon as the power from Lake Coleridge is available. Similar investigations are in hand in connection with the Wellington - Upper Hutt Railway in conjunction with the electric-power proposals for the North Island. IRRIGATION. The details of the Ida Valley scheme were pretty fully described in last year's Statement. The law requires that every proposed scheme shall be authorized by an Order in Council, and that before such Order is issued the owners and occupiers of the lands to be benefited thereby shall be given an opportunity of entering into contracts with the Crown to take water from the works when completed at such price as the Governor may approve, and that unless at least half the holder;, enter into such contracts the scheme cannot be gone on with. The price fixed for the water in this instance was at the rate of 10s. per acre per annum for the area proposed to be or capable of being irrigated. The landholders were duly interviewed, and a majority of them signed the necessary agreements, and the Order in Council authorizing the scheme was then issued, and a commencement Las recently been made with the work. Some of the settlers have since petitioned Parliament, saying that they cannot pay so high a rate as 10s. per acre, and suggesting an alteration to 4s. Some modification of the scheme may therefore have to be made, and with this object in view I propose to visit the district during the recess and go into the details with the settlers affected. Other very necessary schemes are under consider;! tion: notably one, to bring water from the Manuherikia River towards the Dunstan Flat, via Springvale; and
XIX
XIX
another, the irrigation of the Cromwell Flat from the Roaring Meg or other suitable sources. Out of last year's vote a sum of £2,794 was expended, and for the current year a vote of £30,000 is proposed. TOURIST AND HEALTH RESORTS. The principal items of expenditure during the year have been on improvements and new buildings at Rotorua, installation of natural gas at Te Puia, boring for further supplies of hot mineral water at Hanmer Springs, and on the construction of the new hostel at the Mount Cook Hermitage. For the current year a vote of £15,000 is proposed, mainly absorbed by the Nurses' Home, drainage and watersupply at Rotorua, extensions to Waitomo House, the completion of the Mount Cook Hostel, and improvements at the various resorts under the control of the Department. i'ELEGRAPH EXTENSION. The expenditure on telegraph and telephone extensions during the year amounted to £147,692. The length of the lines erected was 489 miles, the total lengtli of wire used being 2,153 miles. Among the principal land lines erected or under erection are the following : Auckland-Wellington new line, W'hangarei-Kawakawa (trunk telephone circuit), Auckland-Pukekohe (metallic circuit), Ngaruawahia-Mercer, Rotorua-Tauranga, Taumarunui-Hamilton (metallic circuit), Whakatane-Opotiki, Takapau-Ormond-ville-Waipukurau, Aohanga-Porangahau, Pahiatua-Dannevirke, Mastertou-Tinui -Castlepoint, Wellington - Palmerston North, Hororata - Lake Coleridge, TimaruGlenavv, Lawrence-Dunedin. Dunedin-Balclutha. The telephone-exchange construction shows an increase of 154 miles of poles and 4,432 miles of wire. The total telegraph and telephone construction was, therefore, 643 miles of poles and 6,585 miles of wire. The total mileage under all headings in use at the end of the year amounted to 13,343 of poles and 77,242 of wire. The erection of high-power wireless stations is being carried out at Awanui and Bluff, and low-power stations are nearing completion at Auckland and Wellington. The vote of £200,000 asked for this year for telegraph and telephone extensions, embracing wireless telegraphy, includes liabilities amounting to £111,372, principally for telegraph and telephone material under order at the commencement of the financial year. I.I(iHTHOUSES, HARBOUR-WORKS, AND HARBOUR DEFENCES. Lighthouses. The lighthouse-works undertaken during the year were—the commencement of the erection of the new lighthouse on Castle Point, and of the automatic light on the Chickens Islands ; the re-erection of the lighthouse on Tuahine Point, which had to be. temporarily dismantled on account of heavy landslips ; the replacing of the old light on Dieffenbach Point, Picton, by an automatic acetone-gas light; the completion of erection of the fog-signal on Patiti Point, Timaru ; and the purchase of the lantern and apparatus for the new light on the North Cape. The new works to be provided for in thejpurrent year are—a lighthouse in Cook Strait; an automatic light on Channel Island, Uauraki Gulf: the removal and re-erection of the Marine Department's Store at Pipitea Point, owing to the present site being required for railway purposes ; and the improvement id' the road to Godley Head Lighthouse. For these works, arid for the completion of the works commenced during the previous year, a sum of £10,000 will lie required this year. Harbour-works. The works carried out during last year were—the erection of a new Louse for the Boatman at Hokianga ; river-improvements at Waipu and Matakana ; erection of a beacon light at Shelly Beach. Kaipara Harbour ; removal of rocks at Kaipara ; cutting-up and roading the Manukau Harbour endowment for leasing purposes; river-improvements at Karamea ; repairs to wharves at Half-moon and Horseshoe Bays. Stewart Island. For the current year, in addition to providing for the items unexpended last year, it is proposed to provide for the following works : Improving the navigation of Wade River; harbour improvements at Matakana; wharves at
I).—]
XX
Rangiriri, Mokau, Marakopa, and German Bay (Akaroa) ; a launch-landing at Kohukohu ; improvements to the rivers at Awakino and Karamea, and to the channel between Lake Waihola and the Taieri River. The sum of £10,000 will be required to provide for harbour-works during the current year. Harbour Defences. A small amount of work was executed last year entailing an expenditure of £1,144. This work consisted of carrying on the construction of the 6 in., Mk. VII, battery at Auckland, provision of improved telephonic communication between forts, alterations to engine and dynamo rooms, also the formation and maintenance of roads and tracks on Defence reserves. A moderate expenditure will be necessary during the current year to provide for the completion of the works now in hand. A vote of £2,000 for this purpose is provided on the estimates. WAIHOU AND OHINEMURI RIVERS IMPROVEMENT-WORKS. Work has been commenced under the scheme specially authorized by the Legislature for the improvement of the Waihou and Ohinemuri Rivers. The work so far done consists principally in the poisoning and removal of willows along the beds and banks of both rivers, and the clearing of the bush on the site of the Ngararahi and Koutou diversions. The excavations of these diversions down to ordinary water-level (so as to take flood-water only at present) has also been commenced. Plans and specifications for the suction dredge to complete the Ngararahi and Koutou cuts and to remove the silt from the beds of the rivers have been prepared, and tenders for the construction of the dredge will shortly be invited. Last year's expenditure amounted to £3.700. and for the current year a vote of £20,000 is proposed. The special Act authorizing these improvement-works also empowers the Governor to take, as for a public work, at its present value, all the land that is likely to be largely improved by the carrying-out of the river-improvement works. A committee consisting of the Commissioner of Crown Lands for the district, tbe Public Works Land Purchase Officer, and the local Engineer in charge of the improve-ment-works has recently been set up to advise what area of land should be taken under this provision, and their report is just to hand. The matter is an important one, and will receive the careful consideration of Ministers, as it is desirable that the State, which is incurring large expense in this matter, should secure the principal share of the enhancement in the value of the adjoining property due to the Government's operations. GROSS TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS. In addition to the votes specifically referred to, the estimates make provision for the undermentioned services : — £ Departmental . . . . .. . . . . 54,0.00 Immigration . . .. . . .. . . 20,000 Lands Improvement .. .. .. .. 49,000 Contingent Defence . . .. . . . . 55,000 thus bringing the total amount of the proposed appropriations, including special accounts, up to £3,049,500, as against £3,265.317 voted and £2,319,941 actually expended last year. CONCLUSION. I have endeavoured to distribute the funds at my disposal in such directions as will, in my opinion, conduce most effectively to assist settlement throughout the Dominion, having regard especially to the pressing requirements of the several localities. Whilst impressed with the advisability of expediting tbe construction of the several works specified in tbe estimates it is imperative not to lose sight of the fact that only one-half of our ways and means are immediately available, possession of the remainder being dependent on raising the proposed loan of .£1,750,000. The heavy commitments for roads and bridges alone, to which I have drawn attention, involve responsibilities which cannot be ignored when requisitions for new authorities are being made, and in view of the disquieting aspect of affairs in Eastern Europe it will be necessary for the Cabinet to closely observe tbe financial pulse of tbe Dominion.

vanced up to 15 m. 40 eh. An approach-road over \ mile in length has been made to Otuhi Station, 13 m. 60 eh., from the Mangakahia Road. Temporary trestles are being erected over the majority of the culverts. The material for the culverts will be brought up by train when rails are laid. Huntly-Awaroa Railway. Huntly-Awaroa Section (7 miles 34 chains in length). —The first 3 miles of formation are in hand, but high water in the swamps has retarded progress. The work on the bridge over the Waikato River is somewhat behind, owing to the contractor's difficulty in obtaining suitable labour. All the ferroconcrete piles are driven, seven piers are completed, two 40 ft. spans are in place, and one 100 ft. span in progress, which is very slow indeed generally. East Coast Main Trunk Railway. Waihi-Tauranga. Waihi Southwards. —Work was started on this line in March, 1912, and formation and culverts are in hand for a distance of 4 miles. Taura nga-Opot iki. Maunganui - Te Puke Section (13 miles in length). —The formation on this section is practically completed, but the subsidence which has taken and is taking place on the swamps crossed by the line renders a large amount of work in lifting the banks necessary. Stability will not be reached for some time yet. Drifting sand has caused some trouble, but is being successfully coped with. The rails have been laid for a distance of 8f miles. A ballast-quarry was opened up on Moturiki Island; 1 mile of line constructed thereto; crushers, elevator, and bins have been installed; and ballasting started. The first lift of ballasting has been done for a distance of 3 miles 45 chains, and also a quantity of metal for culverts and road-crossings has been supplied. The telephone-line has been laid from the Mount to Te Puke and from the junction at 45 m. to the Tauranga office, including a cable across the harbour. 7J miles of fence (both sides) with gates have been completed. In order to push on with the platelaying and ballasting an additional crusher is being installed, and two locomotives with ballast-trucks are at work. Te Puke-Paengaroa Section (5 m. 65 eh.). —Work has been in progress on this section since April, 1912, and is making satisfactory progress. . Gisborne-Motu. Otoko Section (23 m. 50 eh. to 31 m. 45 eh.—7 miles 75 chains in length). — A good deal of work has been necessary in the removal of slips. The Otoko Viaduct is completed. Immediately on completion of the viaduct the ballasting of the remainder of the section, including the Otoko Station yard, was finished, and the section was handed over to the Working Railways Department on the Bth April, 1912. Rakauroa Section (31 ra. 45 eh. to 38 m. 25 eh. — 6 miles 60 chains in length). —The formation on this section is well advanced, although a great deal of trouble has been experienced with heavy slips. On this section the most notable works are a 10-ft.-diameter water-tunnel, 350 ft. long, at 33 m. 61 eh. (the filling over this gully is 250 ft. long by 81 ft. high) ; three bridges ranging up to 80 ft. in height, with two spans of 66 ft., two of 44 ft., eight of 33 ft., and four of 22 ft. The bridge-piers at the Waikohu River Bridge at 37 m. 52 eh. are ready for the girders. The rails are laid to 37 m. 50 eh. Owing to the exhaustion of the ballast-pit at Te Karaka, ballast for only a light lift could be put on the worst places. A new pit at Te Puna is now being opened up. Four cottages have been erected at Rakauroa Station. The fencing is complete. Matawai Section (38 m. 25 eh. to 44 ra. 10 ch. — s miles 65 chains in length). —The formation on this section is almost complete in the ordinary way, but owing to the unstable nature of the country many of the cuttings are still slipping and bulging, so that it is difficult to say when finality will be reached. The large cutting at 39 m. 55 eh. is making good progress, but is being pushed on and will soon be cut through. The tunnel at 42J m. is all excavated, and the lining is in hand. The piers of the bridge at 38 m. 32 eh. are well advanced, and the superstructure is nearly ready. The Matawai Station yard, with approach-road formation, is completed, and four cottages are in course of erection. The fencing is complete, with exception of some gates. Motu Section (44 m. 10 eh. to 50 m.). —Works on this section have just been commenced. The almost impassable state of the roads has prevented a vigorous prosecution of the works on this section during the recent wet weather. Gisborne-Napier, Gisborne End. Ngatapa Section (om. to 11 m. 41 eh.) —Formation-work on this section has been in hand about three months. The earthworks are manned up to about 9m. One mile of fencing has been erected, and some culvert-sites excavated. The survey is completed to 11 m., and is in hand beyond. Gisborne-Napier, Napier End. Eskdale Section (about 10 miles in length). —The works on the first portion of this section are light, and 4| miles have already been formed. The survey is complete for 9 miles. Borings are in progress to test the nature of the bottom of the inner harbour, across which the line runs for nearly 2 miles, and over which one or two bridges will be required.

Stratford - Main Trunk Railway. Western End. Pohokura Section (22 in. 65 eh. to 31 in. 40ch. — 8 miles 55 chains in length). —This section is complete, and arrangements have been made to hand it over to the Railway Department. Whangamomona Section (31 in. 40 eh, to 37 in. 53 eh. — 6 miles 13 chains in length). —Most of the earthworks on this section are complete, although several of the cuttings which slipped badly continue to give trouble, especially on the eastern side of Whangamomona Tunnel. At 35 m. the line was slightly deviated to avoid a bad slip. The Whangamomona Tunnel (30J chains) is complete. The platelayinu is complete to 35 m. 71 eh. The first lift of ballasting is done to 35 m. 71 eh. The ballasting is finished to 34 m. 10 eh. To facilitate the transport of materials ahead and hasten the erection of bridges, a horse-tram has been constructed from the rail-head to the Whangamomona Township, and will be extended to the end of works as soon as possible, as carting has become practically impossible. The piers of bridge at 35 m. 71 eh. are nearing completion, and other bridges are in hand. Tahora Section (37 ra. 53 eh. to 47 m. 30 eh.). —All earthworks are in hand up to 45 m., and are practically complete to 38 m. There are two bad slips at 37 m. 57 eh. and 38 m. 12 eh. Most of the creeks have been temporarily bridged until material for the culverts can be brought by train and tram. At Tahora Saddle four water-drives, totalling 1,166 ft. in length, have been driven to drain banks between 44 m. 56 eh. and 44 m. 68 eh. The very large cutting at 44 m. 70 eh. is started. To facilitate and expedite its excavation a heading is being driven through. The bottom heading of tunnel at 44 m. 52 eh. is commenced. All the tunnel-blocks and washed gravel for this tunnel are ready at Skinner Road ballast-pit. Eastern End. Okaroa Section. —After exhaustive examination a route was found connecting with the North Island Main Trunk line at Okahukara instead of at Ongarue, as originally intended, which was shorter by a distance of 6 miles. This route was adopted, and has been permanently surveyed for a distance of 9| miles. A service-road to give access to the line during construction, and which will serve afterwards as a main road through the Whatitokarua Block, is being formed and pumiced. This road is well advanced, and should be available for through traffic before Christmas. The clearing of the line of railway is completed to the eastern side of the Summit Tunnel. The culverts on the first If miles are well advanced, and every cutting on that length that can be conveniently manned is being worked. Information is being collected to enable tenders to be called for the construction of the tunnel, 74 chains in length, and its approaches. Mount Eomont Railway. This line has been cleared up to 8 m. 10 eh., and formation is nearly completed to 8 m. The Little River diversion is approximately half-finished, as is also the formation of the stationvan! at the. foot of the Rope incline. Timber for the Little River bridges is being squared in the busli near the site. Full information has been obtained of the extent and lie of the rock-deposit. The inclination of both the top and bottom of the rock, and also the surrounding country, is such that the devising of a practicable scheme for cheaply working the quarry has been a matter of some difficulty. A contour survey (with plan) extending over a very large area was found necessary and was carried out, and the working arrangements are now being elaborated. Ohakune-Raetihi Branch Railway. Though the first sod of this line was turned on the 19th February, very little has been done, owing to the necessity for a considerable amount of trial survey before the best route could be ascertained. The permanent line has been pegged for a distance of 2 miles, and plans are being prepared ; meanwhile a few men are engaged on bushwork. South Island Main Trunk Railway. North End. Mirza Section, (48 m. 9 eh, to 51 in. 45 eh — 3 miles 36 chains in length). —The formation of this section is so far advanced as to be ready for platelaying throughout, including the Mirza Station yard. Most of the material is on hand for platelaying. A school for the use of workmen's children has been erected at Mirza Station. Mills Section (51 ra. 45ch. to 56 in. 6ch. — imiles 41 chains in length). —The formation on this section, which is comparatively heavy, is well advanced as far as the Ure River (54 m.), and is in hand to 54 m. 70 eh. Two water-drives, totalling 384 ft., were driven and lined at 53 m. 14 eh. and 53 m. 24 eh. The excavation of the tunnel at 53 m. 2 eh. is in hand, and lining-material is being obtained and blocks moulded. Owing to the country along the line south of the Ure River being composed entirely of sand, it has been found necessary to thickly plant all the slopes of cuttings with marramgrass and also to partially cover large areas of adjacent bare sand with marram, lupin, and other sandbinding plants. Plans of the Ure River Bridge are ready for the calling of tenders.

South End. Parnassus Section (35 m. 50 eh. to 44 m. 13 eh. — Bmiles 43 chains in length). —With the exception of one loop at Spotswood, the formation, platelaying, and ballasting are complete. The buildings are in hand, and should be finished and the line ready for handing over in about two months. Mendip Section (44 in. 13 eh. to 51 m. — 6 miles 67 chains in length). —A contract has been let for the steel girders of the Leader River Bridge. A fair amount of work has been done up to 48 m., but beyond nothing is in hand except a water-drive at the Hookamsnywy Creek. Midland Railway. Nelson~W estland Section, North End. Glenhope Section (49 in. 55 eh. to 59 in. 17 eh. — 9 miles 42 chains in length). —This section is completed with the exception of a few days' work boxing-in the ballasting on the last mile, and the Glenhope Station buildings, which are well advanced. The Summit cutting at 55 m. 30 eh. gave a good deal of trouble in slipping, but now appears stable. Kawaliri Section (59 in, 17 eh. to 65 in. —-5 miles 63 chains in length). —The bushfelling and clearing has been done on the first 2 miles of this section, and cuttings are in hand up to 60 m. 60 eh. Culverts are being built in advance of the earthworks as required. Nelson-W estland Section, Sunlit End. Cronadun—Landing Section (45 m, 40 eh. to 54 m. — 8 miles 40 chains in length). —The station buildings at Rotokohu and Landing are completed, and general maintenance-work has been carried out, pending the handing-over of the section to the Railway Department. Landing - Inangahua Junction Section (54 ra. to 60 m. — 6 miles in length). —The bushwork is completed as far as 59 m., to which point the formation is also in hand. Pending the construction of the junction with the Westport-Inangahua Railway, a temporary station will be constructed at 58 m. 30 eh. The foundations of the Hard Creek Bridge have been excavated. Canterbury-W estland Section, West End. Otira Section (50 iii. 38 eh. to 51 ra. 10 eh. — 1 mile 2 chains in length). — Extensive groyne protection has been rendered necessary by the encroachment of the Otira River on the railway bank approaching the Rolleston Bridge. This work is now in hand. Arthur's Pass Tunnel Contract (51 ra. 40 eh. to 59 m. 40ch.—8 miles in length). —At the Otira end 1 mile 30J chains of tunnel have been completed, and the, bottom heading is 38f chains further advanced. At the Bealey end 23| chains have been completed, and the heading driven a further IJ chains. This leaves 3 miles 8J chains between headings and 3 miles 51 chains between completed portions. The approach-banks are making fair progress, and the Arthur's Pass Station is being formed. Canterbury-Westland Section, East End. Cuss Section (12m. 18ch. to 27 ra. 40 eh. — 15 miles 22 chains in length). —The buildings have been completed and handed over to the Railway Department, who have been operating the line since December, 1910. Bealey Section (21 m. 40 eh. to II n>. 46 eh., or east end of Arthur's Pass Tunnel Contract—l 3 miles 75chains in length) . —The formation of the section is complete to 38 m., ami the balance is about half-finished. The work includes heavy cuttings and shingle-banks along the Waimakariri and Bealey Rivers, necessitating a large amount of protective works by means of wire gabions and heavy rock. The gabion protection-work is completed to 38 m., but a good deal of heavy rock is still required. The ('ass, Waimakariri, and Douglas Creek bridges are finished, and those over the Bealey, Halpin Creek, and Rough ('reek are about to be started. The rails are laid to 36 in., and partly ballasted to 31 m. Two cottages have been erected at Coralin. Westport-Inangahua Railway. Te Kuha Section (0 m. to 5 ra. 74 eh. — 5 miles 74 chains in length). —This section has been completed ami handed over to the Railway Department, Ist April, 1912. Cascade Section (5 in. 74ch. to 12 m. — 6miles 6chains in length). —Portion of this work under the co-operative system, 5 m. 74 eh. to 6 m. 35 eh., is almost completed, and the balance as far as 10 m., let in small contracts, is well in hand. The tunnel at 6m. loch, is completed. Though through granite, it required timbering and then lining throughout. Contract No. 1 (6 m. 35cii. to 6m. 70 eh.) : Over half the contract is completed. Contract No. 2 (6 m. 70 eh. to 7m. 2 eh.) : This contract should be completed within a month ; portion of the tunnel on this contract was taken out as an open cutting ; the rest gave no trouble. Contract No. 3(7m. 3 eh. to 7m. 135 eh.) : Completed. Contract No. I (7m. 135 eh. to 7m. 21 eh.) : Completed. Contract No. 5(7m. 22 eh. to 7m. 33 eh.): Completed. Contract No. 6(7 m. 335 eh. to 7m. 385 eh.) : Completed, Contract No. 7(7 m. 46-60 eh. to 8 m.) : This contract is about one-third completed ; the work done includes the concrete abutments of bridge at 7m. 65 eh. Contract No. 8(8m.to Bm. 385 eh.): Not much progress has been made with this contract. Contract No. 9(8 m. 42 - 4 eh. to Bm. 50*5 eh.) : This contract is more than halffinished. Contract No. 10 (8 ni. 505 eh. to Bm. 65 eh.) : Very little progress is evident on the con-

tract; the contractors have been allowed to take out an open cutting instead of the tunnel between Bm. 51 eh. and Bm. 55 eh. without extra payment. Contract No. 11 (7 m. 3850 eh. to 7m. 46"60 eh.): Nearing completion. Contract No. 12 (Bm. 65ch. to Bm. 79ch.): Contractors made very poor progress, and finally abandoned their contract in May, 1912. Contract No. 13 (9 m. 55 eh. to 9m. 28 eh.); Contract No. 14 (9 m. 28 eh. to 9m. 39 eh.); Contract No. 15 (9 m. 39 eh. to 9m. 53 eh.) : These contracts are little more than started, but contractors are attacking the work in earnest. Contract No. 16 (9 m. 53 eh. to 9m. 595 eh.); Contract No. 17 (9 m. 595 eh. to 10 m.) : Just begun work. A contract has been let for the bushfelling from 10 m. to 12 m., and work is progressing well. Ngahere-Blackball Railway. The gatekeeper's cottage at Ngahere Bridge has been completed, and the gates fixed at ends of bridge. Greymouth - Point Elizabeth Collieries Railway Extension. Coal Creek Section (3 miles 69 chains in length). —The persistent wet weather and the magnitude of the slips which have required to be removed have resulted in a very small progress for the year. All the formation for the back-shunt sidings is completed, and part of the platelaying of same also. The Fell central braking-rail has not yet been fixed on the incline. The bridges are complete except the superstructure of the Seven-mile Creek. A water-supply has been brought in from the Davey Creek, and a temporary engine-shed erected at 8 m. Ross-Waitaha Railway. Plans of the 3 miles south of Ross have been completed, and drawings and specifications for t he bridge over the Mikonui River prepared. Catlin's-Waimahaka Railway. Catlin's End. ■ Papatupu Section (24 m. 8 eh. to 27 m, 50 eh. — 3 miles 42 chains in length). —This section is complete, and goods traffic is being worked by the Public Works Department. Puketiro Section (27 m. 50ch. to 31 in, 30ch. — 3 miles 60 chains in length). —The formation on this section is completed. In places where slips occurred or threatened it has been necessary to flatten the batters, notably at 31 m. 20 eh. The bank at 26 m. 37 eh. slipped badly after protracted bad weather, and traffic was suspended for a week, during which time the subsidence was made up with rock. The culvert will require lengthening. Platelaying, including the Puketiro Station yard, was completed. Ballasting was carried to 31 m. 17 eh., but final boxing-up was not done beyond 30 m. 5 eh., and on some of the high banks where further settlement under traffic is expected only temporary packing was done. Fencing is complete, also telephone-line. .Additions were made to station building at Papatupu, and a cottage was erected at Puketiro. Papatowai Section (31 in. 30 eh. to 37 ra. — 5 miles 50 chains in length). —The bushwork, including clearing of Papatowai Station yard and sites for four cottages, is completed. The extreme wetness of the year militated against rapid progress in the earthworks, but, as all cuttings were fully manned immediately the culverts were completed, and double shifts worked in the larger cuttings, the progress was substantial. A bad landslide took place near 33 m. 55 eh., consequently the line was deviated for some distance in order to partially avoid the bad ground. Other slips have occurred, and some are still giving trouble. Caberfeidh and Papatowai Station sites are being levelled, and are well advanced. Road overbridges were constructed at 31 m. 31 eh. and 33 m. 4650 eh. The service-tram was laid to 36 m. 12 eh., and a temporary telephone-line to the same point. A cottage was erected at Papatowai. Waimahaka End. Tokonui Section (24 in. 48 eh, to 32 m. 75 ch. — B miles 27 chains in length). —This section was completed and handed over to the Railway Department on the 20th September, 1911. A turntable has yet to be provided. Lawrence-Roxburgh Railway. Beaumont Section (29 m. 33 eh, to 35 in. — Smiles 47 chains in length). —The approach-cutting to the Lawrence end of the Big Hill Tunnel was completed, and the tunnel put in hand at that end also. The bottom heading is now pierced, and enlarging and concreting are in hand from each end. The Beaumont portal and 101 chains of the lining are complete. A further portion is enlarged, and it is hoped that the tunnel will be completed by the beginning of 1913. The formation is well advanced to 30 m. 67 eh. On the section 30 m. 67 eh. to 31 m. 35 eh., which has been let by contract, very poor progress has been made. From 31 m. 35 eh. to 32 m. the work is progressing satisfactorily. Fencing has been erected both sides up to 30 m. 76 eh. A cottage has been erected at 31 m. 76 eh., and the telephone-line extended to this point.

ROADS AND BRIDGES. The quantity of work carried out under this head, though considerable, has not been equal to expectations, owing to the extremely wet weather experienced between October. 1911, and the end of this year, during which period the greater part of the year's work is usually done. This year, however, very many of the roads did not dry up sufficiently to allow of any satisfactory work beingdone. It is feared that the endeavour to gel something done in spite of the climatic conditions lias not resulted in the usual amount of value being obtained for the expenditure. Under all votes and accounts except roads on goldfields, the total expenditure on roads during the last financial veai' amounted to £485.422. The amount expended during the quarter ended 30th June, 1912, was £113,852. The Ohura Road, connecting the Te Kuiti district with southern Taranaki. and giving access to the greater part of central Taranaki. is now connected through with the exception of two bridges over the Tangarakau, which it is hoped will be sufficiently advanced to admit through road traffic before the New Year. However, numerous slips have occurred for many miles, and a large expenditure will be required in open the road and, for some time yet, to keep it open. Hodge's Bridge, Awanui; Waipu Gorge Bridge; Ongarue Bridge, near Taumarunui; Mangonui-o-le-Ao Bridge; Whangamomona (Porangi) Bridge; Kohuratahi Bridge; Hooker Bridge. —These bridges, mentioned in last year's report as being in hand, are now completed. The approaches and their protective works at the Big Wanganui Bridge are well in hand. The river changed its course somewhat during the erection, rendering protective groynes ami a lengthening of the bridge, necessary. The lengthening is not yet completed. Wanganui Town Bridge (Dublin Street). A contract has been let by the Borough Council for the erection of this bridge, and the contractor has all the. piles manufactured and a fair amount of plant and material on the site. Pile-driving has been commenced, but has not proved satisfactory, and is now hung up. Taieri Mouth Bridge. This is the structure, for which, on the Department's design, the local authorities were unable to obtain tenders anything like the estimate, and called on the Government to make good its estimate. The work was accordingly taken over by the Department, the material purchased, and everything carried out for a sum comfortably within the, estimate. Waiau Bridge, Southland. —A contract, has been let for this, and the work is in hand. So far the contractors have not made much progress and have now come to a stop. Shotover Bridge. —The deadlock between the contractor and the local body still continues, but negotiations are in train with the idea of the Government taking over control, and it is hoped that he structure and its approaches will be completed early in the New Year. Henderson Pound Bridge. —-This is a reinforced-concrete arched bridge, and was erected by the local authorities. It is now proposed to erect a similar structure at Wade, under Government subsidy. Waimoko Bridge. —This structure was completed. Nuhaka Bridge. This bridge was completed. Esk River Bridge, —This is a ferro-concrete structure built during the current year by the local authority. Waipukurau Bridge. —Extensive repairs were carried out to this bridge. Rai and Brown River Bridges. —Bridges and approaches thereto were constructed over these ivers. Wairau Flood Damage. —An expenditure of nearly £4,000 was necessary to repair the damage as a pound-for-pound subsidy paid to the local authorities, who did the repairs. Ashley Traffic-bridge. —This ferro-concrete structure was erected by the local authorities. Waikato Bridge at Tokaanu. —Owing to erosion of the river-bank and consequent change in course of river, it was found necessary to shift the bridge, and the opportunity was taken during dismantling and re-erecting to thoroughly repair it. The re-erection is nearing completion. Tongoio Lagoon Deviation. —An extensive deviation of the main road to avoid the outlet of the lagoon was constructed. Coalgate to Gorge Road. —Owing to the local body nt»t keeping this road in a fit state to carry the heavy traffic caused by the hydro-electric works at Lake Coleridge, it has been decided that the Department should take over the road, and arrangements are being made accordingly. Waimana Bridge, Opouriao. —The plans of this structure were supplied by the Department to the local body, who are carrying out the work.

Otekaike Settlement. —The scheme for the irrigation of a portion of the Otekaike Estate (acquired for closer settlement), lying on the western side of the Otekaike River, was completed and handed over to the Lands Department, who arc arranging with the settlers for its future management and maintenance. Central Otago Irrigation. —lda Valley No. 1 scheme : All the necessary information was obtained in connection with the location and design of the impounding reservoirs in the Manorburn and Poolburn Valleys, from which the scheme will be supplied. Investigations made to ascertain the possibilities of turning other creeks into the reservoirs and so increasing the water available showed that Maori Creek could bo easily turned into the Poolburn No. 2 Reservoir, but other diversions were not favourable. The balance of the smaller distributaries were sit out. and plans of same made. Some of the distributaries in connection with the Ida Valley No. 2 scheme were also set out. The plans of the Manorburn Dam. the Bonanza Race widening, the Moa Creek diverting weir, and about 70 miles of races are so far advanced as to admit of work being started. The settlers to be served were met, and the terms of the irrigation agreement discussed, and a considerable majority of those concerned signed agreements. The Order in Council authorizing the work was issued, and a start has just been made with the work. Surveys of the Manuherikia scheme to supply water from the river to irrigate the country on either side between Chatto Creek and Clyde were started, and a large amount of trial levelling done. Owing to the large number of possible alternatives, a great deal of trial work was necessary to decide on the best routes to be followed by the races. SEACLIFF MENTAL HOSPITAL WATER-SUPPLY. A contract has been let for bringing in an auxiliary water-supply to the above institution from the W'aitiripaka Creek, distant about 10 miles from the institution. The greater part of the material is to hand, but the work is not progressing very fast. The dam-erection was interrupted by the slipping of the hillside above the site, which necessitated the selection of a fresh site. OHINEMURI SILTING. Contracts have been let for the clearing of the bush on the Ngararahi and Koutou diversions, and for the removal of the material above water-level. This material, having a large proportion of roots in it, is unsuitable for removal by the suction dredge. A large amount of work has been done in killing and removing willows from the bed and banks of the Ohinemuri River. Surveys to determine the areas totally and partially destroyed have been made. The plans and specification of the suction dredge to complete the Ngararahi and Koutou cuts and remove silt from beds of rivers are now nearly completed. TRAMWAYS.

APPENDIX F. ANNUAL REPORT ON BUILDINGS BY THE GOVERNMENT ARCHITECT. The Government Architect to the Hon. the Minister op Public Works. Sir,— Public Works Office, Wellington, Ist July, 1912. I have the honour to submit the following report on the various building-works throughout the Dominion carried out by the Department during the year ended 30th June last :— New Parliament Buildings. The work connected with the scheme for the erection of these buildings was commenced in March last, and the foundation-stone was laid on the 23rd of that month. As the accommodation to be provided in the portion of the building first to he erected was very extensive, including House of Representatives, the Council Chamber, the lobby, Ministers' suites of offices, Cabinet suite, Speakers' suites of rooms for both Houses, offices for the permanent officials of both Houses, Committee-rooms, waiting-rooms, and several members' rooms, it was necessary to occupy a large area of ground and at the same time not to interfere in any way with the temporary wooden Parliament Building (old Government House), nor to encroach on the lawn and garden areas beyond the front of the old Parliament Buildings. It was resolved, therefore, to close Sydney Street so as to permit of the new building extending over it, leaving sufficient space for air and light between the new and the old Parliament Buildings, provision being made also for setting the building well back from Bo wen and new Museum Streets. The spoil from the foundation-trenches, the street-widening operations in Bowen Street, and the new Museum Street formation was used to fill in Sydney Street in front of the position of thejproposed new building, and also to fill up the low-lying parts of the grounds. These operations occasioned the destruction of picturesque shrubbery, and many trees, most of which were, however, old dingy pines that screened and gave privacy to Government House. The best of the shrubs and trees were either saved in position or are being transplanted, and the result will, when complete, be an open park-like extent of grounds in front with a few selected trees, several clumps of shrubs and flower-beds disposed in a manner suitable to the surroundings of a great national building and in full view tor public enjoyment. The close, high fences will be removed, and the whole of the grounds surrounded with a low wall which will not obscure the view of the grounds or of the building. The foundations and basement walls are being erected by day labour under the direction of the Department, and these will be carried up uniformly to the level of the terrace carriage-drive in front. The low level of Sydney Street compared with the grounds on either side affords facilities for extensive fireproof basement cellerage for storing State and departmental papers and for heating-chambers. &c. The building as planned will provide all the accommodation required and a few spare rooms additional. Provision has also been made for future extension of the seating-accommodation in both houses should such be required, and for further additional rooms for any required purpose, without in any way disturbing the appearance of the building when completed, or without causing inconvenience during full occupation of the building. The plans provide for an absolutely fireproof structure throughout, due regard being paid also to resistance to earthquake-shocks. None but the most durable materials will be employed, and these will be obtained within the Dominion, if possible. Every effort has been made to design a building which should endure, and which should become an historical record wrought in stone and steel for the interest and benefit of many generations. General.

The work has been satisfactorily carried out by the contractors, Messrs. J. and W. Jamieson (Limited), of Christchurch, the contract price being £95,551. Work on the contract was commenced at the beginning of June, 1909, and has thus been over three years in hand. The site, which is at the lower end of Queen Street, where in early days coasting-vessels were moored to a wharf, was reclaimed, and the foundations had therefore to be piled through the reclamation and through many feet of soft alluvial mud below the reclamation material. The piles are of reinforced concrete, ranging from 40 ft. to 50 ft. and over, and the care required in driving the long piles caused considerable delay in carrying out the work. The building is erected in a substantial manner of permanent and fire-resisting materials throughout. The use of timber has been reduced to a minimum, even the window-sashes and private letter-boxes being made of steel. The front—towards Queen Street-—is faced with stone, the lower portion for a height of 25 ft. being of Coromandel granite—a very fine durable material. The entire frontage, including side arches, is 236 ft. The accommodation, besides that required by the Postal and Telegraph Department, includes offices for the Traffic and Engineers' Sections of the Working Railways Department. Awanui Wireless Telegraph-station. —Erection of the station was commenced in January last, and is making satisfactory progress. Residences for the officers are also being erected.

APPENDIX G. ANNUAL REPORT ON ELECTRICAL WORK AND POWER SCHEMES, BY THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER. The Elkctrical Engineer to the Hon. the Minister of Public Works, Sir.— Public Works Office, Wellington, 13th September, 1912. 1 have the honour to submit the following report on the various works entrusted to me during the past year :- — Electric Light and Power Licenses. The duly of issuing licenses authorizing local bodies and other persons to erect and use electric lines I'm- lighting and power purposes, and the preparation of the conditions prescribing the manner in which the work is to be carried out in the interest of public safety, also inspection during and after construction, has been taken over by the Public Works Department since the Ist January, 1912. Since that date the following licenses have been issued : —
In addition to the above, licenses have been or are in course of being drawn to authorize the following local bodies and others to erect new electric lines and extensions of existing lines : Napier Borough Council, Hastings Borough Council. Wellington Steam Kerry Company, Wairoa Borough Council. Featherston Motor-garage Company, (.ore Borough Council. Invercargill Borough Council. Mangaweka Town Board, Oamaru Borough Council, Thames Borough Council, Thomson-Payne Picture Company of Napier. Taihape Borough Council. Te Kuiti Borough Council. Ngaruawahia Town Board. Inspection. Inspection under licenses for electric lighting have been made for Mataura. Christchurch, Napier, and Hastings. Reports were made to the following Borough Councils: Akaroa (hydro-electric works) and Whangarei (proposed utilization of Wairua Falls for electric light and power purposes). Standards of electric pressure and frequency have been adopted as follows : Where alternating current is used the frequency to be 50 cycles per second, and where three-phase currents are used the pressure to be 400 volts between phases and 230 volts between each phase and the neutral. For direct current the pressures adopted are 230 volts and 460 volts. This standardization of pressure and frequency will result ultimately in cheapening the supplies for lighting and power purposes throughout the Dominion. Tramways. The duty of supervising the use of electricity as a motive power under the Tramways Act, 1908, has also been taken over by the Public Works Department since the 14th December, 1911. An inspection of the electrical equipment of the Invercargill Borough Tramways and rolling-stock was made, and the work was found to comply with the requirements of the authorizing Order in Council. An inspection was also made of the Hackthorne Road extension of the Christchurch Electric Tramways, which was also satisfactory. Gauging Rivers. Gauge readings are being taken of the following rivers : Kaituna. Waikato, Hutt, Northern Wairoa. and Makuri.

Lake Coleridge Power-works. Roads to gain access to the site of the power-station, and also connecting the power-station to the inlet and outlet works, have been constructed. The main road between Coalgate has been taken over by the Department, and will be maintained during the construction period. A contract has been placed for driving a tunnel between Lake Coleridge and the valley of the Rakaia. and the work is now in progress. A contract has been placed for construction of cottages for the working staff at Lake Coleridge, which is now approaching completion. The following contracts have been placed for plant and machinery : Pipe-line, turbines, generators, switch-gear, transformers, overhead travelling-crane, insulators for transmission and distribution lines, and the wire conductors for same. For this purpose aluminium has been adopted in place of copper, as the market prices at the time enabled a saving of £10,950 to be thus effected. Tenders will shortly be invited for the construction of the power-station building and for the supply of poles and standards for the transmission-line. A provisional contract has been entered into with the Christchurch City Corporation for the supply of electrical energy by the Ist May, 1914. It is anticipated that 4,000 h.p. will be required for this puipose within five years from the date atjwhich the supply becomes available. Negotiations will shortly be entered into with prospective power-users in Canterbury generally. Supply of Electrical Power in the North Island. This subject is being studied in a comprehensive manner with a view to making electricity generally available throughout the Island, not only for town use and industrial purposes in the neighbourhood of towns, but for working light railways, also main lines under construction, and eventually the existing main lines. In this way the interest of the country as a whole is being considered rather than the interest of any particular district. This involves considerable investigation into the probable demand in different districts, the distribution of the population and industries, and the best source or sources of supply. An estimate has been made of the cost of the works at Waikaremoana and the Hutt River, and the possibilities of the Makuri, Waiohine. and Tauherenikau Rivers have been investigated and estimates made, in order to ascertain their possible use as sources of supply. Estimates have been made of the cost of transmission-lines and of primary distribution necessary to adequately serve the different districts. Investigations are proceeding with a view to ascertaining the best and most economical method of supplying electricity for all purposes throughout the Island. Railway Electrification. A complete and exhaustive report, has been prepared regarding the electrification of the railway between Lyttelton and Christchurch. The report deals with the electrical system to be adopted, tne capital cost of the same, also the working and other annual expenses under electrical operation. Characteristics of runs between the different stations for various classes of trains have been calculated and plotted, and from these have been constructed energy-consumption curves, enabling an accurate forecast of the load on the substation to be plotted. The nature and number of the electrical equipments required have been fully investigated and determined, and an investigation has been made of the general lay-out and design of the overheadconstruction. As a result of the latter investigation the catenary system of overhead-construction is considered the most suitable, excepting in the tunnel, for which a special suspension has been designed. The nature and extent of the railway traffic between Wellington and the Hutt Valley and the best manner of dealing with the same by means of an electric service is being investigated, including the size and frequency of motor-car trains, and also the terminal arrangements in Wellington.
