RAILWAYS STATEMENT BY THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, THE HON. W. H. HERRIES.

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting the Railways Statement for the year ending 31st March, 1912, I have pleasure in announcing that the results of the year's operations have been satisfactory. The earnings exceeded those of the preceding year by £182,327, and are the highest yet obtained in the history of the railways of the Dominion. The results may be summarized thus :— Year 1912. Year 1911. £ £ Total earnings ... ... ... ... 3,676,509 3,494,182 Total expenditure ... ... ... ... 2,465,896 2,303,272 Net profit on working ... ... ..£1,210,613 £1,190,910 GENKR.VL. The mileage - of line open for traffic on the 31st March, 1912, was 2,808 miles, as against 2,761 for the previous year. The average miles ope. a ted during the year was 2,801 miles. The following extensions were opened for traffic during the year :— M. cb. Kawakawa - Towai ... ... ... ... ... ... 20 50 Seddon - Ward ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 14 55 Waimahaka-Tokanui ... ... ... ... ... ... 8 26 Kioreroa - Onerahi ... ... ... ... ... ... 2 60 46 31

The capital cost of lines open for traffic, including plant and steamers on Lake Wakatipu, has increased from £29,606,546 to £30,506,089. The net revenue (£1,210,613) is equal to a return of 3-98 per cent, on the capital invested in the open lines and 3-70 per cent, on the capital (£32,689,179) invested in opened and unopened Hues. The number of train-miles run during the year was 8,371,687, being an increase of 230,612 over the previous year. The increased train-mileage represents additional train facilities to meet the requirements of the increasing business and to meet the public convenience, and has cost over £67,000. The following figures, which give the record of the late arrivals of the principal trains during the year, indicate that notwithstanding the alterations made in the trains services, the trains as a whole have maintained punctuality. Average Late Arrival. \lin. Mm. For long-distance passenger trains ... ... 223 against 1-88 last year. For suburban trains ... ... ... ... 0-52 ~ 054 ~ For long-distance mixed trains... ... ... 2-99 ~ 2-80 ~ These figures include delays arising from all causes, and embrace accidents, slips, floods, &c. The passenger traffic increased very materially, the number actually carried being 11,891,134, an increase of 690,521 over the previous year. Season tickets issued numbered 236,957, an increase of 14,853. The number of workers' twelvetrip tickets issued was 49,076, and of workers' weekly tickets available on suburban lines 129,524, an increase of 2,698 tw r elve-trip and 7,800 workers' weekly over the previous year. 840,473 passengers travelled at holiday-excursion hares, an increase of 157,014 when compared with last year, and 134,825 passengers travelled at the school and factory rates. The coaching traffic shows increases under each of the headings under which the traffic is grouped. The increases have been—Parcels, 72,546 ; horses, 373 ; carriages, 50 ; dogs, 3,394. In goods traffic, firewood shows an increase of 1,036 tons; timber, 91,306 tons; merchandise, 2,723 tons; minerals, 21,533 tons. There were decreases in the livestock traffic as follows : Cattle and calves, 3,302 head; sheep, 456,848 head ; pigs. 13,111 head. Chaff, lime,|&c. [decreased by 6,752 tons; wool, 1,640 tons; and grain, 63,743 tons. The decrease in the live-stock traffic is mainly due to the unfavourable weather preventing the stock coming forward, and a further delay was caused in the Wellington and Wanganui districts owing to a temporary stoppage of the operations at the freezing-works Caused by labour troubles. In previous years there was also considerable movements of stock in the South Island on account of shortness of feed. The decrease in the grain traffic is owing to the partial failure of the grain crop in portions of the South Island last season and to the lateness of the current season. It is, however, expected that traffic under this] heading will show better results this coming year. The average number of men employed on the railways during the year was 13,523, against 12,881 for the previous year. • Twelve members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division. 504 members of the permanent staff resigned, 67 retired on superannuation, 33 died, 72 were dismissed, and 916 engaged. The sum of £8,822 was paid during the year under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act. The rolling-stock was increased by 14 locomotives, 46 carriages, 8 bogie brakevans, 477 trucks, and 723 tarpaulins. Of the locomotives, 8 were built in the railway workshops —viz., 4 Class Ba tender engines for goods traffic, and 4 Class Wg tank engines. The remaining 6 were Class Ad 72-ton four-cylinder balanced-compound, built under contract by Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), Thames.

2,357 modern steel axles were placed under cars, vans, and wagons during the year in substitution for old iron axles, and by this means the carrying-capacity was increased by 2 tons per wagon. The sides and ends of a large number of high-sided wagons were raised, thus increasing the capacity of this type of wagon. The seating-accommodation of second-class carriages on mail and express trains is being improved by substituting chair-seats for the longitudinal seats previously in use. Cars of all classes are being fitted with platform gates and gangways. Additional lavatory accommodation has also been provided, and improved lighting is being provided on the smaller sections by substituting acetylene-gas for the old type of oil-lamps. The amount spent on new and improved machinery for the workshops was £27,495. 118_ miles of track were relaid, 86| miles of main line with 70 lb. steel rails and 32 miles of branch line with steel rails taken out of the main lines. The labour troubles in the United Kingdom delayed delivery of the material on order, thus retarding relaying operations. Second-hand rails are also being utilized to provide check-rails on some of the sharp curves, and it is anticipated that the wear on the outer rails of the running-track will be considerably lessened by this means. 287,383 sleepers and 372,000 cubic yards of ballast were used in maintaining the track during the year. A large number of works were carried out during the year for the purpose of improving the facilities and increasing the accommodation. They comprised enlarging station buildings, erection of verandahs, weighbridges, houses for staff, water services, stockyards, fencing, social halls for staff, goods-sheds, lighting, and sanitary arrangements. Other works intended to promote the public convenience and facilitate the operations of the Department were in hand and well forward at the end of the financial year. The signal and interlocking systems have been brought into operation during the year at Mercer, Woolston, Weedon's, Linwood, Washdyke, Taihape, and Thorndon ; also at Kioreroa Bridge, Antigua Street (Christchurch), and Conon Street (Invercargill). A rearrangement of interlocking has been made at Abbotsford, Green Island, Burnside, Timaru, Addington, Penrose, and Auckland. Fifty-four Tyer's electric tablet instruments were brought into operation on sections Rolleston to Washdyke, Onehunga to the Wharf, Waipiata, and Paremata. Automatic tablet-exchangers were fitted up at twenty-two stations. Electric lock-and-block working was established between Christchurch and Heathcote, Templeton and Rolleston, and Burnside and Abbotsford. Twelve additional stations were equipped with fixed semaphore signals. The telegraph and telephone system was also increased by 345 miles of wire. 1,389 miles of line are now controlled by the Tyer's electric tablet, 38J miles of double line by lock and block, and 21 miles by train staff and ticket. The railway system of train-signalling by telegraph and telephones comprises 2,096 miles of poles and 5,640 miles of wire. The expenditure on these necessary adjuncts to safety since 1901 has been £278,546. The whole of the railway appliances and equipment, comprising rolling-stock, machinery, track, bridges, buildings, and other structures, have been maintained in an efficient and satisfactory condition. REVENUE. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £3,676,509, and exceeded the estimate by £151,509 and the gross revenue for the preceding year by £182,327. Passenger revenue shows an increase of £81,531 ; season tickets, £14,173 ; coaching traffic, £9,544; goods and live-stock, £71,706 ; miscellaneous and rents, £5,373. The receipts per train-mile amounted to Bs. as against Bs. 6|d. for the previous year. The earnings of the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £6,669 as against £6,643 last year. The net earnings amounted to £433 per mile for the average number of miles open, and gave a return of 3*98 per cent, on the capital cost.

EXPENDITURE. The expenditure for the year, including £5,997 incurred in connection with the Like Wakatipu steamers, amounted to £2,465,896, an increase of £162,624 over the previous year, and absorbed 67-07 per cent, of the revenue, as against 65-92 per cent, for the previous year.

In the Locomotive Branch the increase is due to extra train-mileage, additional staff, advance in salaries and wages of the staff, and in the prices the Department has to pay for fuel and materials. The increase in the cost of the Head and Departmental Offices is incidental to the inclusion in the Head Office vote of items that have previously been charged under the sectional heading and to scale increases of salaries under the Classification Act. The cost of maintenance of lines, buildings, structures, safety appliances, &c, lias increased from £693,445 to £735,546, representing an average expenditure of £263*46 against £253-58 per mile of railway for the previous year. The increased expenditure has been incurred on the Whangarei Kawakawa Section, £3,921 ; North Island main line and branches, £15,337 ; South Island main line and branches, £21,698 ; Westland, £4,950 ; Nelson, £260. The cost of maintenance has decreased on the Kaihu Section by £191 ; Gisborne, £2,475 ; Westport, £582; Picton, £817. Additions and improvements to lines, structures, &c, costing £39,080, which might reasonably have been debited to capital, have been made during the year and charged to working-expenses. The sum of £372,018 was expended under the head " Additions to Open Lines," and charged to Capital Account. Of this amount, £227,302 was expended on rollingstock, tarpaulins, motor-rail car, pneumatic coaling-cranes, workshops' machinery, and the new steamer for the Lake Wakatipu service. The rolling-stock in respect to which the charges are made consists of 14 locomotives, 48 carriages, 7 brake-vans, 23 bogie and 456 four-wheeled wagons, and 723 tarpaulins, completed on the 31st March, 1912, and 54 locomotives, 38 carriages, 1 brake-van, 31 bogie, and 1,058 four-wheeled wagons, and 997 tarpaulins incomplete, but in hand on that date. The sum of £144,716 was spent in signals and interlocking, lock-and-block and tablet installation, telegraph and telephone extensions, purchase of land, bridge-work, sidings, wharves, weighbridges, turntables, water services, additions to workshops, station buildings, and dwellings, electric light and gas installations, deviation of line, reduction of grades and improvement of curves, &c. DUPLICATION OF LINES. On duplication-work the following sums were charged to Capital Account under the provisions of the special Acts relating thereto : — £ Wellington-Hutt dupiication-works ... ... ... ... 1,635 ' New Hutt Road (including land for same) ... ... ... ... 6,070 £7,705 Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication and deviation of line ... ... ... £51,429

RESULTS OF WORKING. The following is a summary of results of working, for year ending the 31st March, 1912, as compared with 1911:—

CONCLUDING REMARKS AND FORECAST. The works connected with the Hutt Road and railway improvements being now practically completed, it is necessary and desirable that those local bodies who are responsible for the upkeep of the road should take it over at an early date. With this end in view, arrangements are being made to appoint a Commissioner, in terms of the Hutt Road and Railways Improvements Act, to apportion the charges incurred in the formation of the road among the respective local bodies concerned. In the meantime, the whole of the expenditure incurred on the road is being borne by the Railway Department and charged to a special account, so that full details of the

charges will be available for the use of the Commissioner when he is determining the matter. The work connected with the duplication of the Dunedin-Mosgiel line is being pushed on as fast as practicable. Double track has been opened for traffic as far as Abbotsford, but the difficult character of the ground through which the Chain Hills Tunnel is being pierced has retarded the operations somewhat. Good progress has been made with the grade-improvement works on the Auckland Section of the Main Trunk line, also with the deviation-works at Manawapou on the New Plymouth line, but the completion of the viaduct will be delayed owing to the difficulty in obtaining materials from Britain consequent on the recent strikes there. Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited) delivered six Class An four-cylinder balanced compound tender locomotives, thus completing their contract. In view of the necessity for further increasing the locomotive-power, a further contract was let to this firm to build another lot of twenty Class An engines. In the Railway Workshops there was under construction on the 31st March, six heavy type goods-engines Class Ba, ten Class X four-cylinder balanced compounds and 28 heavy tank engines, also 53 bogie-cars, 2 bogie brake-vans, 31 bogie, and 1,100 four-wheeled wagons. By the additions that have been made to rolling-stock during the past seventeen years the tractive power has been increased by 240 per cent., passenger-seating capacity by 194 per cent., and wagon capacity by 192 per cent. The additions actually made to the rolling-stock equipment in the same period comprised 224 locomotives, 714 cars, 177 brake-vans, 963 sheep-trucks, and 8,913 goods-wagons. The rapidity with which the business continues to increase makes it essential to continue building rolling-stock as quickly as possible. Special efforts are therefore being put forth in this direction. The programme for 1912-13 comprises 10 engines, 67 bogie carriages, 8 bogie brake-vans, 54 bogie wagons, 837 four-wheeled wagons, so that altogether there are at the moment 64 locomotives, 120 carriages, 10 brake-vans, 85 bogie wagons, and 1,937 four-wheeled wagons actually on order. The petrol-motor car for trial on our lines is now almost complete, and will be placed in commission shortly. The experiments being made in the Australian States with motor-cars are being closely watched. Full inquiries have also been made concerning the experience of foreign railways with regard to motor-cars, so that when cars are being obtained they will be of the type that has been found most satisfactory in actual every-day railway practice. On the 31st March the accumulated funds to the credit of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund amounted to £233,457, an increase of £26,215 on the previous year. The total income for the year was £94,544, and the outgoing amounted to £68,329. Of the latter, the sum of £57,482 represented the annual charge involved in payments to 1,184 beneficiaries, comprising 744 contributors voluntarily resigned or been retired on account of being medically unfit, 170 widows, and 270 children under the age of fourteen years. On taking over the control of the Department of Railways last month I found myself confronted with several great problems that needed investigation and, if possible, settling in a satisfactory way. The first was the question of the General Managership. Mr. Ronayne, who reaches the age-limit in January, 1913, had expressed to my predecessor and to myself his intention of retiring from the position which he has so long and faithfully filled. As announced in the Financial Statement, Cabinet decided on my recommendation to invite applications in London for the position of General Manager. It is not intended to do away with Ministerial control over the railway policy or to lessen the responsibility of the Minister to Parliament, but it is hoped that by getting a General Manager who has had experience of some of the great railway systems in the United Kingdom, or abroad, reform may be introduced into the railway system of New Zealand. The next burning question to be met was the question of the relations of the State to it employees on the railway. The State should be proud of its employees

in that Department, as taking them as a whole they are a fine body of men. They had, however, certain grievances which in some cases were justly founded, and last year they approached Parliament by petition. My predecessor, Mr. Myers, I am glad to say, relieved me of a portion of this intricate question by meeting the Executive of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, and, by going thoroughly into the matter with them, came to an agreement which is satisfactory to both sides. I have also met the representatives of the Locomotive Engine-drivers, Firemen, and Cleaners' Association, and heard their views, and have no doubt that in their case a satisfactory solution will be arrived at. In the case of the First Division, as soon as the question of the difference between the figures submitted by the Department and by the Railway Officers' Institute is settled by the Public Accounts Committee, to whom it has been referred by resolution of the House of Representatives, I intend to meet the Executive, and I have no doubt that in this case also a modus vivendi will be arrived at. When these agreements are come to, a Bill amending the Government Railways Act will be brought down and submitted to Parliament this session. It will be necessary shortly to put in hand a number of important works of very considerable magnitude so that the railway may be in a position to meet the demands of the rapidly expanding business. It is proposed that a special Act be submitted with the various items scheduled, and authority given for a sufficient sum of money to be borrowed, the expenditure being spread over a term of years. The state of the money-market, however, precluded the idea of introducing the Bill this session, but if the market improves it will be introduced next session. Another very important work that should be carried out on well-defined lines is the grade-improvements foreshadowed in last year's Railway Statement. Up to the present time that portion of this most important work that is in hand has been charged to the A.O.L. vote, but, as this provision is insufficient to meet the requirements and enable the work to be pushed on vigorously, it is hoped to deal with the matter comprehensively next session if the financial stringency is easier. Another question that is bound to give any Minister of Railways great concern is the question of the percentage of working-expenses to earnings. In the tables given in this statement this will be found to be 67-07 per cent., an increase of 1-15 per cent, over last year, due no doubt to a large extent by the alteration of the classification by the (Jovernment Railways Act, 1911, and this will probably be still further increased during the current year by the alteration of the classified rates which will be necessary by the agreements with the First and Second Divisions mentioned above. This is, of course, unavoidable, as to give the employees a fair wage should be the desire of every Minister. The percentage of working-expenses to earnings is, however, so high in New Zealand as compared with the Australian States that other causes besides the increase of wages must be operating, which it will be my duty to investigate. In 1911 the following was the percentage in the different States :— New Zealand .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 65-92 Victoria .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 61-10 New South Wales .. .. .. ... .. .. .. 61-09 Queensland . . .. .. .. . . . . .. 57-25 South Australia .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 60-(i(i Western Australia .. .. .. .. .. .. .. 65-95 Tasmania . . .. . . .. . . .. .. .. 77-55 Another problem which faces a new Minister is the disproportion of earnings of the two great lines of railways in the Dominion—the North Island main line and branches and the South Island main line and branches. The following table shows the differences, which are taken from Return 4 attached hereto : — Interest on Cost of Construction. £ s. d.

Increase 83 These tables show that, though there has been a small increase in the net revenue of the South Island Main Trunk line and branches during the period mentioned, it is not at all commensurate with the enormous increase in the revenue of the North Island main line and branches. Of course, the rapid increase of settlement and the activity consequent on opening up new country will account for a certain amount of the increases in the North Island ; but the whole question requires investigation as to whether the results are due to circumstances over which the Department has no control or whether they are due to the management of the railways. In dealing with this matter, it is not in any way my intention to pit the North against the South, but I will be failing in my duty if I did not call honourable members' attention to the facts which I have mentioned. Unfortunately, the net revenue of the most profitable line in the Dominion, situated in the South Island—namely, the Westport Line —which last year returned £12 Is. lid. per cent, on cost of construction, does not go to the Dominion, but goes as an endowment to the Westport Harbour Board under special Acts, and the Dominion at the same time is paying interest on the cost of construction. Another matter which is engaging my serious attention is the number of accidents which occur to railway employees, especially shunters. Fortunately, during the last financial year the average of accidents, fatal and otherwise, was lower than usual, but there are still more than 1 think there should be. I have directed the General Manager to look closely into the conditions of shunting, and report as to whether it is possible, either by mechanical means or by a different system of handling the rolling-stock, to minimize the danger. On receipt of the report, I hope to be able to take such steps as will lead to a diminution of these accidents.

The following statement shows a brief comparison of the traffic and the rolling-stock for dealing therewith when the Government resumed control of the railways in 1895 with that at 31st March of the present year: — Use Marcti. 31st March.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGBB OF NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways. Head Office, Sir,- Wellington, 27th June, 1912. I have the honour to report upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended the 31st March. 1912. The capital cost has increased from £29,606,546 to £30,506,089. The revenue was £3,676,509 against £3.494.182. The expenditure for the year amounted to £2.465,896, against £2,303,272 last year. The rate of interest on the capital was £3 19s. 7d., as compared with £4 Is. 3d. for the preceding year. The revenue per train-mile was Bs, 9jd. and the expenditure ss. 101 d., as compared with Bs, 6Jd. and ss. 7fd. respectively last rear. The following extensions were opened during the rear: — M. eh. Kawakawa-Towai . . . . .. . . .. .. 20 50 Seddon-Ward .. .. .. .. .. .. 14 55 Waimahaka-Tokanui .. .. .. .. 8 26 Kioreroa-Onerahi .. .. .. .. . . 2 60 46 31 The mileage added to the system was thus 46 miles 31 chains, making the total mileage open for trafficon the 31st March. 1912, 2,807 miles 56 chains, as against 2.761 miles 25 chains at the close of the previous year. During the year 11,891.131 passengers were carried, yielding a revenue of £1.185.825: and 236,957 season tickets were issued, the revenue derived therefrom amounting to £133,289. There was thus an increase of 690,521 ordinary passengers and £81,530 revenue, and 14,853 season tickets and £14,172 revenue over the traffic carried under these heads during the previous year. 71.213 children and teachers and 63,612 adults travelled by school and factory excursions during the year, the revenue derived therefrom amounting to £9,703. 840,473 passengers travelled at holiday-excursion fares. yielding a revenue of £206,473. The coaching and goods traffic has been well maintained during the year, and shows increases under all heads, with the exception of cattle, sheep, pigs, chaff, wool, and grain. Increases. Coaching. —Parcels, 72,546; horses, .'l7.';: carriages, 50; dogs, 3,394. Revenue, £9,545. Goods. —Drays, 463; firewood. 1,036 tons; timber, 91,306 tons: merchandise.

Various additions and alterations were made in the tram services during the year to meet the requirements of the traffic and to give greater facilities to the travelling public. These alterations involved a considerable increase in the train-mileage which was 230,612 miles greater than for the year ending 31st March, 1911. The train accidents during the year have not been of a serious nature, and there was not an injury to a passenger as a direct result of a train accident. Good progress was made in the work of equipping the lines with electric tablet, interlocking of points and signals, telegraph and telephone facilities, and fixed signals. The tablet system is now in operation on 1.389 miles of railway, and the electric lock-and-liloek system on 38 miles of track. Locomotive. Mr. A. L. Reattie, Chief Mechanical Engineer, reports as follows :— The engines, rolling-stock, plant, machinery, and appliances have been maintained in thoroughly efficient working-order, the details of work- completed and in hand being as follows : — Locomotives. —On the Ist April. 1911. there were 478 engines in service, and on the 31st March, 1912, there were 493 engines. Fourteen new engines were added to stock, and one engine was taken over from Department's sawmill. Of the new engines added to stock eight were built in the Government Railway workshops, and comprised four large tender engines, Class Ba and four heavy tankengines, Class Wo ; six (.'lass An 72-ton tender engines, four-cylinder "balanced compound" type, were completed under the contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames. This completed their contract for ten Class An 72-ton tender engines. In the Government Railway workshops to date ninety-seven engines have been built and twenty four old locomotives have been rebuilt to modern designs. _ .;

Included in above are seven engines for the Public Works Department. At the close of the year there were under construction in the Railway workshops forty-four locomotive engines, comprising six Class Ba tender engines, ten Class X 94-ton tender engines, fourcylinder " balanced compound" type, and twenty-eight large tank engines. During the year a contract was entered into with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames, to oonstrucl ten Class Ad 72-ton tender engines, so that altogether there were in hand at close of year fifty-four locomotive engines. The new locomotives added, together with boiler renewals, increased the total tractive power by 251,251 lb., equal to 4-39 per cent. ; the new engines being built and boilers under construction will, when completed, still further largely augment the tractive power. Boilers. -The work on new boilers, renewals, and boiler-repairs, has been kept well up to date. Thirteen new locomotive-boilers were constructed. The following statement shows the details of boiler-work :—

Fifty-eight new boilers were under construction at the close of the year, comprising six Class Ba one Class D. six Class F, four Class J, five Class R, two Class Wd, twenty-four Class Wo, and ten Class X. Carriages. —The car stock on the Ist April, 1911, consisted of 1,166 cars, and the number on the 31st March, 1912, was 1,212 cars. Forty-eight new bogie cars were built and added to stock. Two old six-wheel cars were sold and written off, and are being replaced with standard bogie cars. Satisfactory progress has been made with fitting up cars with lavatory accommodation, cushioned seats in second-class compartments, platform gates and gangways. All cars on all sections are being fitted with platform-gates and gangways with additional handrails. Second-class cars on mail and express trains are being fitted with chair-seats, and this wink will be completed during current financial year.

The work of raising sides and ends of high-sided wagons is being pushed through as quickly as practicable. This addition to these wagons enables full loads of coal to be carried, and increases the utility of this class of rolling-stock. Westinghouse Brake. —All new engines and rolling-stock built for North and South Island Main Lines and Branches are equipped with the quick-acting Westinghouse brake before being placed in service. Efficient arrangements are in force for the examination and upkeep of the Westinghouse brake. Car-lighting. —The oil-gas manufactured at the five separate Pintsch-gas works amounted to 8,609,720 cubic feet, costing 2s. 0-73 d. per 100 cubic feet, On sections not provided with Pintsch-gas arrangements have been made for lighting cars with acetylene-gas. The greater proportion of the cars have been so equipped, and it is estimated that all curs on the isolated sections will have this light during current year. Motor-cars, Gulverden-Hanmer. —Cars in service have been kept in good and efficient workingorder. Steamers. The Railway Department's steamers on Lake Wakatipu have been maintained in good order. A new steamer is in hand and al close of year was Hearing completion. Re-taring Wagons. Whenever wagons are in workshops for repairs the tare-weight is checked and adjusted before wagon goes into service again ; also, at intervals not exceeding twelve months, the tare-weight of all goods-wagons in service is checked and adjusted. Cattle anil Sheep Wagons.- The work of fitting grated floors to the older wagons has made good progress. All new live-stock wagons arc lifted with grated floors before being placed in traffic. These grated floors are found to be of great assistance iii carrying live-stock in good condition. Renewals and Replacements. —During the year under review seven old worn-out four-wheel brake vans were written off and replaced with seven standard bogie brake vans, twenty-seven bogie wagons for coal and timber traffic were converted from fifty-lour four-wheel wagons ; also eight worn-out coal-hopper wagons, fifteen low-side wagons, and 1,269 worn-out tarpaulins were writtten off and replaced with new wagons and tarpaulins respectively. In accordance with the practice of the Department, the cost of the new bogie brake vans, conversions, new wagons, and new tarpaulins was debited to working-expenses. Twelve new bogie cars are in hand (cost debited to working-expenses) for replacing two old cars sold and ten old cars, which will be written off when the new cars are completed. Train Running and Mileage. —There has again been an increase in train-mileage. Compared with 1910-11 the increase for 1911-12 is 230,612 train-miles, or equal to 2-83 per cent,, and 366,248 engine-miles, being equal to 3-35 per cent. The following table shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile : —

The increased cost per train-mile has been mainly caused by the extra cost of fuel and wages. Maintenance. Mr. J. Burnett, Chief Engineer, reports as follows : — Permanent-way. —The track has been maintained in good condition. The following relaying has been done during the financial year:— Miles. Main line, 53 lb. and 56 lb., relaid with 70 lb. steel material .. 86J Branch lines, 30 lb. and 40 lb., relaid with second-hand 53 lb., &c, steel material removed from main line .. .. .. ■. 31| Branch lines, 401b., relaid with new 55 lb. material .. .. .. Of Total relaying for the year .. .. .. 1184 A greater quantity of relaying would have been done but for the delay in obtaining supplies of material, due to strikes in England. A number of sharp curves have been fitted with check-rails to lessen the wear on the outer rails. The use of second-hand rails for this purpose is calculated to double the life of the outer rails, and will thus effect saving. Sleepers. —287,383 sleepers were put into the track during the year. The increasing difficulty in procuring supplies of native-timber sleepers renders the importation of Australian hardwood in large quantities absolutely necessary. Slips and Floods. —Traffic on the Picton Section was stopped for several days owing to damage by floods, and considerable similar damage was done on the Midland (Canterbury) line.

Ballasting. —About 372,000 cubic yards of ballast has been used on the lines during the past year A crushing plant has been installed at Ohingaiti, and a portable crushing plant provided in the Christchurch district. Bridges, &c. —Bridge structures have been maintained in a safe condition. A number of timber bridges have been rebuilt in rolled-steel joists and steel girders. Contracts havo been let for the supply of steel girders for the reconstruction of two timber bridges in Auckland District, and for a new steel-girder bridge over the New North Road at Morningside (Auckland). New steel viaduct, Tongahoe (Wanganui district), has been completed, and that at Manawapou (Wanganui district) is in hand, but is likely to be delayed by the recent strikes in England. The work of renewing timber structures in steel has been continued, and, in view of the cost of md difficulty in procuring ironbark, must be largely extended. The necessary strengthening of bridges to allow of running the heaviest locomotives from Wellington to Paekakariki will be finished this financial year. Similar bridge-strengthening on the State Colleries Branch at Greymouth has been completed. Locomotive Water-services. — Considerable improvements in the shape of additional storage and improved pumping-appliances have been made at a number of stations. Fencing. —A large amount of new fencing has been erected in various places. Wharves. —Extension of wharf, Nelson, is completed. New ferro-concrete wharf at Picton is well advanced, and will be completed during the present financial year. Port Chalmers wharves have required heavy repairs.

Doubling and Improvement of Lines. —Hutt Road and Railway improvement: These works are practically completed. The road is being maintained by the Department and cost charged to the construction authority. The cost of construction and maintenance should now be apportioned among the local bodies affected and the maintenance taken over. Dunedin-Mosgiel: Double-line working is now in operation between Dunedin and Abbotsford, and can be instituted for a mile further at any time. The progress of the Chain Hills Tunnel has been retarded by the difficult ground met with. Grade-improvements. —Grade-easements on I he Nbrl h Island Alain Trunk line, including new stations, Tuakau and Pukekohe, in connection therewith, have been in hand, a sum of about £22,000 having been spent on these works during the year. The deviation improving grades in connection with the new Manawapou (Wanganui district) Viaduct has been in hand and is approaching completion, which will, however, be hindered by delay (owing to English strikes) in connection with the viaduct contract. Expenditure. —The cost of maintenance for the year was £735,546, equal to about £263 per mile of railway maintained. In addition to this, £226,045 has been spent on new works and works for other Government departments, public bodies, and private parties, making a total of £961,591. The increase in the cost of maintenance is mainly due to the carrying-out of improvements, such as the removal of the work-depots (Wellington and Christchurch), deviation of line (Mercer), new engine-depot at Paekakariki, rearrangement of yard (Waikiwi). and social halls for the use of workmen ; and to the advance in the pay of the workmen.
