1913. NEW ZEALAND.

PUBLIC WORKS STATEMENT. BY THE HON. WILLIAM FRASER, MINISTER OF PUBLIC WORKS. NOVEMBER, 1913.

Mr. Speaker,— Owing to the financial position obtaining at the close of last session, and in view of the heavy commitments already entered into, I did not feel justified in making available for immediate expenditure the whole of the new items appearing on the public-works estimates. All authorities issued and offers made in pursuance of previous years' appropriations were, however, duly honoured. New votes urgently requiring attention were also authorized on application. As soon as the success of the llotation of the new loan was assured all restrictions regarding expenditure of new votes were removed. Notwithstanding these precautionary measures the total expenditure of the past year on public works was not only in excess of that of the previous year, but was actually the largest in any single year for over thirty years, and amounted to the very large sum of £2,711,068—viz., £2,593,365 out of the Public Works Fund and allied, special accounts, and £117,703 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 publicworks policy up to the 31st March last :■ —

WAYS AND MEANS. At the 31st March, 1912, the available ways and means for £ public-works purposes were . . .. . . 82,580 and further funds were received as under: — Under the Aid to Public Works and Land Settlement Act, 1911 .. .. .. .. 950,000 Under the Aid to Public Works and Land Settlement Act, 1912 .. .. .. .. 855,226 Under the New Zealand Loans Act, 1908 .. 71,679 Transfer from Consolidated Fund .. .. 750,000 Miscellaneous receipts .. .. .. .. 119,969 Making a gross total of .. .. £2,829,454 The ordinary expenditure of the year amounted to £2,378,539, charges and expenses in respect of raising loans £72,950, and redemption of debentures £1,000, thus bringing the total disbursements up to £2,452,489, and leaving a credit balance at the end of the year of £376,965 (exclusive of £249,776 proceeds of 4-per-cent. stock loan to pay off debentures due 15th April, 1913). For the current year it is proposed to provide additional funds as under :■ — £ Balance of loan of 1911 .. . . . . 100,000 Balance of loan of 1912 . . .. .. 894,774 Transfer from Consolidated Fund . . . . 675,000 Proposed new loan . . . . .. .. 1,750,000 The above, with the balance brought forward, gives a gross total of £3,796,739. The estimated expenditure for public works for the current year (excluding separate accounts having their own ways and means) amounts to £2,995,575, leaving an estimated balance of £801,164 to be carried forward to next year. In addition to the above we have authority to "raise, outside the Public Works Fund, the undermentioned sums : — £ Under the Aid to Water-power Works Act, 1910 .. 450,000 For irrigation-works, under the Irrigation and Water-supply Act, 1913 .. .. .. 100,000 Under the Waihou and Ohinemuri Rivers Improvement Act, 1910 (balance) . . . . . . 50,000 EAILWAY-CONSTEUCTION. The following sections of railway were completed and opened for traffic during the last financial year, or since its close : — M. oh. Waikohu to Otoko . . . . 7 75 . . April, 1912. Westport to Te Kuha . . 5 74 . . April, 1912. Te Wera to Pohokura .. 8 55 .. August, 1912. Kiwi to Glenhope . . .. 12 59 . . September, 1912. Mina to Parnassus . . . . 8 43 . . September, 1912.

In addition to the above the following sections are approaching completion, and are expected to be ready to open for traffic during the current financial year : — M. oh. Kaihu Extension . . . . .. . . 2 44 Otiria to Kaikohe .. .. . . .. 16 25 Kaiwaka to Otamatea . . .. .. 2 45 Mount Egmont Branch . . .. . . 2 56 Cronadun to Inangahua Junction .. . . 12 70 Cass to Bealey . . .. .. .. 14 6 Big Hill to Athenaeum Flat .. .. ..30 Houipapa to Papatowai .. .. .. . . 12 72 The total expenditure on railway-construction and improvement-work during last financial year amounted to £1,179,077, as under :■ — £ Construction of new lines .. .. .. 684,196 Additions to open lines .. .. .. .. 464,636 Wellington - Hutt Railway duplication .. .. 991 Railways Improvement Account .. .. .. 29,254 Kaihu Extension. There was considerable delay in obtaining hardwood timber for four small bridges on this line. They are now, however, approaching completion, and only a portion of the ballasting and a few details will then remain to be done before the extension to Waima Station can be opened for traffic. Waima does not in many respects fulfil the requirements of a terminal station, and the Government is satisfied that the country would be better served and a large area of Crown land and timber country opened up by an extension of the line up the Waima Valley to Donnelly's Crossing, a distance of four miles and a half, and such an extension is included in the Railways Authorization Bill recently submitted to Parliament. The expenditure on this line during the last financial year amounted to £8,800, and for the current year a vote of £10,000 is proposed. Kawakawa-Hokianga. The line has been completed and ballasted up to Rakatau Station, ten miles from the junction at Otiria, and works are well advanced as far as Otuhi Station, from which point to Kaikohe the route is common to this and the North Auckland Trunk line. Rails are laid up to Kaikohe, buildings are being erected, and all the ballasting is done, except in the station-yards. It is expected that the section to Kaikohe will be ready for opening about the end of January next. The expenditure during the last financial year was £30,978, and for the current year a vote of £40,000 is proposed. North Auckland Main Trunk. Slips in the clay cuttings delayed the opening of the nine-mile length from Te Hana to Kaiwaka until the 18th March last, but trains have run over the new section regularly since then. The formation, platelaying, and ballasting over the next two miles and a half to Otamatea are completed, and a contract for the erection of the station buildings has been let, but the steel and timber bridge over the Otamatea tideway, for which a contract was let in February, 1911, is not yet finished, and for this reason platelaying cannot proceed. Beyond Otamatea one tunnel 8j chains in length is finished, and a much longer one near Maungaturoto is well in hand, although its excavation involves heavy work and great care is necessary to ensure perfect stability. The completion of this tunnel and the Otamatea Bridge will permit platelaying to proceed over the next section of the line to Maungaturoto Station. Careful surveys are being made to locate the best route north of Maungaturoto, two parties being in the field at different points along the line. A railwaywharf at Otamatea has been erected under contract at a cost of about £6,500, and will be available as soon as the line to this point is opened. The approach to the wharf has been constructed, and the rails laid upon it. The expenditure during the past financial year amounted to £73,936, and for the current year a vote of £60,000 is proposed.

Whangarei - North Auckland Main Trunk. The North Auckland Trunk Railway has now reached a point which renders it necessary to decide by what route a connection can best be made between the main line and the isolated system which has its southern terminus at Grahamtown Wharf, close to Whangarei. Careful surveys of different suggested routes have been made, and after comparison of the results it has been decided to locate the line on a route starting near Whangarei, passing through Mangapai, after skirting the harbour, going close to Maungakaramea, and continuing by way of the Tauraroa Valley to a suitable junction-point with the North Auckland Trunk line. The route adopted is not quite the shortest available, but the cost of constructing the line on this location will not exceed that of the more direct lines which were examined, and tin; chosen route has the advantages of serving Mangapai, and permitting of a branch line being taken to Waipu later oh at moderate cost. A. vote of £15,000 to permit of the construction of this railway being commenced is proposed. Huntly-A W ARO A. Construction-work over the first three miles has proceeded at a moderate rate during the year, and trial surveys of two alternative routes to carry the line about two miles and a half further have been completed. The combined road and railway bridge over the Waikato River has also just been completed. The expenditure during last financial year amounted to £11,732, and for the current a vote of £25,000 is proposed. Waiuku Branch Railway. Last year a branch railway to connect Waiuku with the Main Trunk line was authorized. Trial surveys to locate the most favourable route have been put in hand during the year and are still in progress. The small expenditure during the past year was charged to the vote for surveys of new lines, but for the current year a special vote of £10,000 is proposed to permit of construction-work being begun. East Coast Main Trunk. The permanent survey of the section between Waihi and Athenree, on which construction-works were suspended in November, 1912, has since been completed, and a vote is provided on the current year's estimates to permit of the resumption of construction-work thereon. Formation has been completed and rails laid between Maunganui and Te Puke, a distance of thirteen miles. To facilitate ballasting operations over the next section it has been decided to retain the line in the hands of the Public Works Department for the present, but a train service carrying goods and passengers has been inaugurated for the benefit of the settlers until such time as the working can conveniently be handed over to the Railway authorities. Fair progress has been made over the next five miles and three-quarters between Te Puke and Paengaroa. Formation is approaching completion, one permanent bridge has been erected, and a start made with the platelaying. Last year surveys were carried out to determine whether a route from Pongakawa via Lake Rotoma to Te Teko would be more favourable for the continuation of this line, but a comparison of this route with that nearer the sea-coast shows that the advantage is altogether with the coast route, which has therefore been adopted. In pursuance of this determination authority is asked in the Railways Authorization Bill for putting in hand another section of this railway between Pongakawa and Taneatua, a length of about thirty-five miles. Hitherto the only source of supply for ballast material for the Bay of Plenty section of the East Coast line has been the quarry at Moturiki Island, close to Tauranga Harbour. As the rails have now been laid for fifteen miles from this point, it is no longer economical to carry ballast from there, and a new quarry of suitable rock has been opened up near Te Puke from which supplies will be drawn to ballast the next section of the line, and also for the formation and maintenance of roads by the local bodies of the district. A branch line two miles

and three-quarters in length is required to carry the material to the main line, and this branch is also included in the schedule to the Railways Authorization Bill. The construction of the branch has already been put in hand. The sum of £2,000 appears on the estimates under the heading of Te Maunga Northwards. This is for the purpose of commencing the approaches to the bridge across the Tauranga Harbour. From the Gisborne end construction-work has been pushed on vigorously during the year, and the advance parties are now at work within three miles of Motu Township, or forty-eight miles from Gisborne. The terminus of the opened line is still at Otoko, but the rails are laid and the line partly ballasted up to Matawai Station, thirteen miles ahead, to which point a temporary goods and passenger service is being run daily. The works on this section have been of an arduous and varied character, comprising heavy cuttings, banks (up to 81 ft. high), one tunnel, and five steel and concrete viaducts of an aggregate iength of 947 ft., and ranging in height from 42 ft. to 73 ft. above the streams which they cross. Material for ballast has to be hauled from Puha, on the opened line, a distance of twenty-two miles, most of which is on steep grades. Between Gisborne and Napier earthworks are practically completed for 10| miles between the junction of Makaraka and Ngatapa. Several bridges have, however, still to be built on this length. Seven small contracts have been let for earthworks on the next section, at reasonable prices, and the contractors have commenced work. A strong party is engaged surveying the permanent location of the line ahead, and has already covered a length of twenty-four miles from Ngatapa. At the Napier end construction was suspended in October, 1912. Negotiations have been proceeding for some time between the Public Works Department on the one hand and the Napier Harbour Board and the Hawke's Bay County Council on the other in regard to the construction of a combined railway and road embankment and bridge across the Inner Harbour. There is no reason now why a satisfactory settlement of all difficulties should not be arrived at, and the sum of £10,000 has accordingly been placed on the estimates towards giving effect thereto. This embankment will connect the existing railway-line at Port Ahuriri with the earthworks already constructed on the northern side of the harbour. The expenditure during last financial year on the different sections of the East Coast Railway was as follows :■ — £ Waihi to Tauranga. . .. . . .. . . 5,363 Tauranga to Taneatua . . . . . . .. 28,462 Gisborne to Motu . . . . . . . . .. 57,548 Gisborne to Napier, north end . . .. .. 15,677 Gisborne to Napier, south end .. . . . . 11,438 For the current year votes are proposed as under :— Waihi to Tauranga .. .. .. ..10,000 Te Maunga Northwards . . . . .. .. 2,000 Tauranga to Taneatua . . . . . . .. 50,000 Gisborne to Motu ... .. .. .. ..60,000 Gisborne to Napier, north end . . .. .. 35,000 Gisborne to Napier, south end .. .. .. 10,000 Stratford - Main Trunk. The section to Pohokura, 31j miles from Stratford, was opened for traffic in August, 1912. Since then the 31-chain tunnel beyond Pohokura has been finished, heavy construction-works, with seven small bridges between the tunnel and Whangamomona, completed, rails laid into the station-yard, and ballasting almost finished. The section to Whangamomona will shortly be opened for traffic, and the train service will save settlers the difficult road journey over the Whangamomona Saddle. Beyond Whangamomona earthworks are nearing completion for over five miles, but the tendency of the country to slip in the cuttings has necessitated two small deviations. A 23-chain tunnel beyond Tahora has been pierced, and enlargement is now in progress. Four small bridges on this section are also in

13.—i

course of construction, the whole of the works covering a length of over seven miles beyond Whangamomona. The broken nature of the country [to be traversed between Tahora and the Ohura Valley involves examination of several possible routes, and careful trial surveys of different suggested lines have been made during the past two or three years. The most favourable route appears to be via the Raekohua Stream, across the Tangarakau River, then through the Maraekowhai Block to the Haeo Valley, and the line will probably be located along this route. At the eastern end, where construction-works were commenced in November, 1911, considerable progress has been made. As the country traversed for the first few miles from the Main Trunk line was not roaded, a service road nearly eight miles in length had first to be made across a broken range of hills. This has now been completed and metalled. The railway-formation is in progress for one mile and a half, and a contract has been let for the construction of the Okahu Tunnel, 74 chains in length, at a cost of £97,000, which also covers the formation of about a mile and a half .of line in addition to the tunnel. Four small contracts have been let for formation-works which will carry the line into the Ohura Valley, six miles from the junction, and it is proposed to let further contracts of similar nature and extent as the work progresses. The expenditure on this line during the past financial year amounted to £72,843 at the western end, and £22,448 at the eastern end. For the current year a total vote of £85,000 is proposed. Mount Egmont Branch. Trial surveys have been made to locate the most favourable line to the proposed quarry, and tests made to determine the extent of the rock at the suggested site. Three small bridges have been built, and some bush-clearing done adjacent to the line. Expenditure during last financial year amounted to £4,657, and for the current year a vote of £15,000 is proposed. Opunake Branch. Since April last surveys to determine the most favourable route for the recently authorized branch line to Opunake have been in progress, and the line has been located for a distance of about ten miles. The expenditure on this survey was debited to the vote for surveys of new lines, but for the current year a special vote of £15,000 is proposed, to permit of construction-work being commenced. Ohakune-Baetihi Branch. This line had to be relocated for the first two miles in consequence of an alteration in the junction-point. On the completion of the resurvey a small amount of formation-work was done over the first mile. Twelve small contracts are now being let, which will carry the line about half-way to Raetihi, and if the results are satisfactory further contracts of the same nature will be arranged. The expenditure during last financial year was only £2,022, but for the current year a vote of £20,000 is proposed. Manawapou Deviation. The earthworks for the Manawapou deviation improvements on the Wanganui - New Plymouth line are finished as far as practicable, pendingcompletion of the viaduct. The construction of the latter is in hand. The expenditure out of last year's vote was £4,007, and for the current year £1,000 is asked for. Featherston-Martlnborough. This line was included in last year's Railways Authorization Act, to serve the large area of settled land of which Martinborough is the centre, and it has been decided to commence its construction this year. A vote of £5,000 is accordingly provided. Trial surveys of alternative routes have been made, and the location survey of the adopted line is nearing completion. This railway will be of comparatively light formation, with easy curves and gradients, the bridges over the Tauherenikau and Ruamahunga Rivers being the chief items in construction.

South Island Main Trunk. At the northern end the line is open to Ward. From there to Mills, eight miles farther south, the formation is now constructed and ready for platelaying, with the exception of some light earthwork near Mills Station. This section includes some heavy cuttings and fillings, a tunnel 8j chains long and a combined railway and road bridge over the Ure River which is now nearly completed. To the south of the Ure Bridge, where the formation is through sandhills, marram-grass has proved entirely successful for heavy sandy batters, banks, and sand-drifts, but experiments with other binding-plants resulted in comparative failure. No rails have yet been laid beyond Ward, but large supplies of rails, sleepers and other permanent-way material are being forwarded to the rail-head, almost the whole quantity required for the eight miles to Mills having already been received there and stacked ready for use. The section from Mina to Parnassus, eight miles and a half in length, at the southern end of the line, was completed and opened for traffic by the Railway Department in September, 1912. Formation-work, which had extended over the next four miles, has been suspended, and. is not likely to be resumed during the current year. The expenditure during last financial year amounted to £21,877 at the north end and £23,964 at the south end. For the current year a total vote of £20,000 will be required. Midland. At the Nelson end, since the opening of the section to Grlenhope on the 2nd September, 1912, construction-work was carried on with a reduced number of men over about two miles of the route towards Murchison until April last, when the work was suspended. It is not proposed to resume the construction of this section of the line during the current year, but the road between Grlenhope and Murchison will be made more suitable for motor traffic. On the Reefton-Inangahua Section the formation-work to the proposed station near the Inangahua Junction has been completed, rails laid, and the ballasting is well under way. This station will be the terminus of the line for the present, as it is not proposed to undertake any work beyond the Inangahua River this year. On the Canterbury side of the dividing range formation has been practically completed between the Cass and Bealey Flat, and a train service to the temporary station at Halpin Creek has been inaugurated. Floods in the Waimakariri caused considerable damage to the formation during the year, which has been repaired, and measures taken for the future protection of the railway. Messrs. John McLean and Sons, contractors for the construction of the Arthur's Pass Tunnel, were relieved of their contract and the work taken over by the Government on the 28th December, 1912, in pursuance of a recommendation of a parliamentary Select Committee, since which it has been carried on, principally by day labour, from the Otira end, under the direct supervision of Public Works Engineers. At the Bealey end excavation by co-operative contract was tried, but was not successful, and the experiment was not persevered with. From the Otira portal the bottom heading is now in 2 miles 12 chains, and the tunnel fully excavated and lined for 20 chains less. At the Bealey end the figures are : Bottom heading, 45 chains; excavation to full size and lining, 33 chains. Thus there remains 2 miles 48 chains between the headings, and 3 miles between the points to which the enlargement and lining have been carried on either side. A larger number of capable men could be employed to advantage on this work, but the best men are not obtainable in large numbers. The expenditure on the different sections of the Midland Railway during last financial year was as follows :— £ Nelson end .... .... .... .... 23,366 Reefton end .... .... .... .... 10,073 Otira-Bealey .... .... .... .... 61,809 Bealey-Cass .... .... .... .... 36,786

For the current year appropriations are proposed as follows : — £ Nelson end .... .... .... .... 5,000 Reefton end .... .... .... .... 10,000 Otira-Bealev ... .... .... ... 70,000 Bealey-Cass .... .... .... .... 50,000 Westport-Inangahua. The formation-work, principally rock-cutting, which was in progress under contracts at the commencement of the year, has continued steadily and is still in hand. In all, eighteen contracts have been let, practically to small parties who carry out the work themselves. Six contracts have been satisfactorily completed, most of the others are making good progress, while one which was abandoned has been relet to a fresh party. The work in hand will carry the line to a point ten miles from Westport, and bushfelling and clearing is in progress over a further length of two miles. Beyond this point it is not proposed to undertake construction-work for the present. During last financial year the expenditure on this line amounted to £18,711, and to meet liabilities during the current year a vote of £20,000 is proposed. Greymouth - Point Elizabeth. The extension of this railway to serve the new State coal-mine has been completed, and the line, which has a third rail in the centre on .the incline from Dunollie to the new terminus, is now in operation. The country being very steep and rough, there has been much trouble from slips, but protective works have been put in where necessary, and the extension is now ready to hand over to the Railway Department for regular traffic. The expenditure during last financial year on this line was £9,980, and for the current year a vote of £20,000 is asked for. Cm,vkrden -Waiau. An extension of the existing railway from Culverden to the south bank of the Waiau River opposite the township of the same name was authorized last session. The line will be fourteen miles long, inexpensive to construct, will traverse a closely settled area,, and serve a large productive district beyond, the output of which has hitherto been restricted on account of its distance from the railway. A vote of £5,000 for making a commencement with this extension is provided on the current year's estimates. Waimate Branch Extension. There was no expenditure out of last year's vote of £5,000 for the extension of the railway from Waihao Downs to Waihaorunga, as it was not found practicable during the year to detach a suitable engineer to carry out the necessary survey of the route. The vote of £5,000 is, however, repeated on the current year's estimates. Otago Central. Recent examination by engineers of the route between Clyde and Cromwell proves that, provided the rate of speed is restricted, a line of the standard gauge with sharper curves, occasional slightly increased grades, and generally lighter formation can be taken for most of the way alongside the present road and constructed at far less cost than the original estimates indicated. Such a line would admirably serve the purposes of the settlers in the Upper Ciutha Valley and enable large quantities of grain of the highest quality, and also fat stock and fruit, to be conveyed to the coast. At present this is impossible, as it costs Is. per bushel to cart grain from Hawea to Clyde, and fat lambs would become stores by the time they reached the present terminus. A vote of £7,000 is included in the estimates to permit of construction-work being commenced as soon as the necessary re-survey is completed.

Lawrence-Roxburgh. The Big Hill Tunnel was completed in December last, and formation-works for a length of two miles and three-quarters beyond the tunnel are practically finished. It is proposed to put platelaying in hand with a view to opening a section of three miles to Athenaeum Flat for traffic as early as possible. Very little more in the way of construction-work will be required to permit of rails being laid to Beaumont Station, two miles and a half farther on, so that the completion of the line to that point may be looked for at a fairly early date. The expenditure on this line during the last financial year amounted to £17,392, and for the current year a vote of £10,000 is proposed. Catlins -Waimahaka. The terminus of the opened line is still at Houipapa, but rails are laid and the line ballasted up to Caberfeidh Station, 11J miles farther on, to which point a temporary goods and passenger service is in operation for the convenience of settlers. The roads in this district are not good, and a service tramway is laid ahead of construction-works to facilitate the transport of plant and supplies for the men. A bridge to carry the railway over the Maclennan River is being erected under contract, and on its completion will depend the opening of the line to Papatowai Station. Bushfelling and a little formation extending four miles beyond Papatowai are in hand. The expenditure on this line during last financial year amounted to £29,291, and for the current year a vote of £30,000 is proposed. Winton - Heddon Bush. There was no expenditure out of last year's vote for the proposed branch line from Winton to serve the productive agricultural district of which Heddon Bush is a convenient working-centre. There were local differences of opinion as to whether the district could not be more effectively served by a branch from the Riverton line, but the difference has now been settled in favour of the Winton connection, thirteen miles in length, and the vote of £8,000 to commence the construction of this line is renewed on the current year's estimates. Orepuki-Waiau Extension. The question whether the district surrounding Orawia shall be connected by rail with Orepuki or with Waikouro has not yet been decided. Further careful consideration is necessary, and the Engineer-in-Chief will visit the district during the recess and report to me thereon. Total Appropriations for Railway-construction. In addition to the votes already mentioned, an appropriation of £1,000 is required to provide for liabilities on account of the Kawakawa-Grahamtown Railway that did not come to charge against last year's vote ; £1,000 will also be needed for old land claims, damages,, and other similar charges; £5,000 for surveys of new lines ; and £90,000 for permanent-way materials ; thus bringing the total appropriations for railway-construction purposes up to £825,000. Other Rail way-works. During the year under review the sum of £300,059 was spent by the Railway Department on rolling-stock, tarpaulins, pneumatic coaling-cranes, steam heating-gear, workshops machinery, and steamer for Lake Wakatipu. The sum of £164,577 was spent on extension of station-yards, purchase of land, additions to workshops, cranes, bridge-work and subways, fire-prevention services, wharves, gasworks, and extension of signal and interlocking system, tablet installation, telegraph and telephone facilities, duplication of line, reduction in grades, and improvement of curves. A further extension of the duplication of the Dunedin-Mosgiel line was opened during the year, and the work of boring the Chain Hills Tunnel and completing the line from there to Mosgiel is in hand. Bad ground was met -with during the year, and this materially interfered with boring operations. As

more favourable indications are now in evidence it is hoped that better progress will in future be made towards the completion of the tunnel, of which about 15 chains still remain to be bored. The expenditure last year on railway-duplication and contingent works was £30,245, principally on the Dunedin-Mosgiel line. On the Main Trunk line between Wellington and Auckland considerable work has been done in the direction of improving the grades in the vicinity of Buckland, Tuakau, and Pukekohe. The cost of grade-improvements on the North Island Main Trunk line was £33,031. The work of reclaiming land at Mechanic's Bay, Auckland, for use as a site for the new station-yard is in hand, and the sum of £11,337 has already been paid to the Auckland Harbour Board in respect thereof. The amount proposed to be voted for the current year on account of " Additions to open lines " is £500,000, of which sum £800,000 is for new rolling-stock and workshops machinery, and £200,000 for various new works. A vote of £40,000 is asked for on account of the Dunedin-Mosgiel deviation. EOADB AND BEIDGES. 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 £746,950. The total amount authorized for expenditure during the financial year, including the unexpended balance of authorities brought forward at the 31st March, 1912, amounted to £845,248. The total expenditure for the year amounted, however, to only £468,972, leaving an unexpended balance of authorities amounting to £376,276 at 31st March last. Between the Ist April and 30th September a further £337,378 was authorized, and expenditure to the extent of £231,605 was brought to charge. The large amount of money which has been standing as authorized for expenditure, compared with the actual disbursements, indicates that the temporary restriction placed upon the authorization of new votes after the close of last session had but little effect on the expenditure. In my last Statement I expressed the opinion that it was almost impossible, under the existing conditions, to expend within any year the amount of money voted for that year for road and bridge works. The experience gained during the past twelve months has confirmed me in this opinion. Last year I referred to the disinclination of local bodies to make satisfactory provision for the maintenance of main roads. In localities where the main road passes through unoccupied Crown lands, sparsely settled districts, or Native lands, whence little or no revenue in the way of rates can be collected, such a feeling is to a great extent justified. All main roads, however, do not come under the above category, nor will it be an easy matter to define what constitutes a main road. I hope, however, during the recess to find a satisfactory solution of this problem, as also to the equally abstruse one of improving the present method of distributing grants for roads and bridges. Roads on Goldfields (Mines Department). The total authorizations under this head last year amounted to £74,416, on account of which'a vote of £50,6001 was taken. The expenditure during the year was £36,761. The sum proposed to be authorized for the current year is £65,743, on account of which a vote of £50,000 is asked for. Total Appropriations for Roadworks.

The value of the mineral-output for the year amounted to £3,042,224, being a decrease as compared with the output of the previous year. Work in the mines was hampered considerably by strikes, but as this year this trouble has not existed to anything like the same extent it is anticipated the output will be in excess of that of last year. Expenditure under this heading during the year was £10,644, and a vote of £9,300 is proposed to be taken this year. PUBLIC BUILDINGS. The total expenditure on public buildings during the last financial year amounted to £611,041, made up as follows : — £ New buildings (Class XVIII, Public Works Fund) .. 445,192 Maintenance-works (Class V, Consolidated Fund) . . 73,030 Maintenance-works, schools (Class XV, Consolidated . Fund) .. .. .. .. .. 92,819 £611,041 For the current year the following appropriations are proposed : — £ New buildings (Public Works Fund) .. .. 486,000 Maintenance-works (Consolidated Fund) ... .. 88,689 Maintenance-works, schools (Consolidated Fund) .. 102,200 Contribution to fund. for renewal or .reinstatement of buildings damaged or destroyed by fire .. .. 10,000 £666,889 General. The foundations for the proposed new Parliament Buildings have been completed ready for the superstructure, and the rearrangement of the grounds surrounding the site was finished in time to display a creditable sward on the lawns in the early spring. The adjacent streets have been widened, an ornamental fence|built around the property, and preparations made for the erection of the new building, for the first portion of which tenders have been received and are now under consideration. The total expenditure on building and grounds during the financial year amounted to £15,841, and £2,944 was spent on widening and altering the grades of adjacent streets. The most important departmental building completed during the|year was the new offices facing Cathedral Square and Worcester Street, Christchurch, which will accommodate most of the officials now located in the old Provincial Buildings, as well as an appreciable number occupying rented offices in various parts of the city. A large vote is provided on the estimates for this building, principally- to cover liabilities existing at the end of the financial year. The current year's vote provides also for the new departmental buildings at Gisborne and Stratford, additions at Blenheim, the completion of similar buildings at Hamilton, New Plymouth, and Hokitika, and for the erection of new publicworks and marine stores on the reclaimed land at Pipitea, necessary owing to the sites of the present buildings being required for railway purposes. Provision is also made for additions to the Government Printing Office, already in progress under contract.

Judicial. Courthouses. —Substantial buildings at Masterton and Greymouth were corncompleted during the financial year, and one at Auckland has been finished since its close. , The current year's vote provides for liabilities in connection with these buildings, as well as for new Courthouses at Kaitaia, Waipu, Te Puke, Wairoa, Martinborough, Raetihi, Motueka, Amberley, Balclutha, Wyndham, and Chatham Islands. Substantial additions are to be carried out at Hikurangi, Wanganui, Lawrence, and at the Supreme Court House, Wellington, while the vote also covers minor additions and improvements to existing buildings at various other centres. Gaols.- —The principal expenditure during the financial year was in connection with the buildings at Auckland and Invercargill, and additions at Addington and Timaru. Provision is made on the current year's estimates for commencing the erection of buildings at the Waikeria Reformatory Farm, in the Waikato district; for work in progress at Auckland and Invercargill; for new buildings at Palmerston North and Picton ; and for warders' cottages at Wellington, Lyttelton, and Invercargill. Police-stations. —There has again been considerable expenditure on the erection of police-stations at various centres throughout the Dominion, the larger items being for buildings at Maungaturoto, Gisborne, Taumarunui, Murchison, and Waipu. Stations were also provided during the year at Warkworth, Howick, Te Kuiti, Otorohanga, Wakefield, Cobden, and Islington. The Lambton Quay station in Wellington no longer provides adequate accommodation for the large number of mien who have their headquarters there, and it is proposed to erect a new station on a central site in the city formerly occupied by the Theatre Royal. A substantial vote for this purpose appears on the estimates. Negotiations are also in progress for the acquisition of a site upon which to erect a new building to accommodate the police officers now using the Manners Street Station. On the current year's estimates provision is made for new buildings at Houhora, Northcote, Takapuna, Mount Eden, Mount Roskill, Epsom, Ponsonby, Devonport, Herekino, Papakura, Hamilton, Ngaruawahia, Huntly, Raurimu, Tokaanu, Whangamomona, Tokomaru Bay, Motu, Patutahi, Porangahau, Masterton, Brooklyn, Eastbourne, Island Bay, Karori, Charleston, Ahaura, Stafford, Ross, Fendalton, Coalgate, Darfield, Ashburton, Waitati, Clyde, Middlemarch, Caversham, Mornington, Northeast Valley, Kaitangata, Tapanui, Mataura, Nightcaps, North Invercargill, and Gladstone. Increased accommodation is being provided by means of additions or alterations at O'Rorke Street (Auckland), Martinborough, Wanganui, Mohaka, Mount Cook (Wellington), and Dunedin. Post and Telegraph. The principal items of expenditure during the past financial year were in connection with the large new buildings at Auckland and Wellington, which were completed and opened for public business on the 20th and 26th November, 1912, respectively. To meet the continuous growth of the Department's business it is still necessary to provide additional accommodation, and appropriations for this purpose amounting to £206,011 are proposed on the current year's estimates. . During the last financial year buildings for postal and telegraph purposes were erected at Kawakawa, Ponsonby, Te Aroha, Matamata, Putaruru, Waihou, Whangamomona, Ohura, Clive, Awakino, Opotiki, Otane, Kaiwarawara, Sydenham, Pleasant Point, Ravensbourne, Kaitangata, Hawea Flat, and Balfour, while additions and alterations have been carried out at Otahuhu, Taumarunui, Inglewood, Carterton, Wellington Telephone Exchange, Cheviot, Sumner, and Lyttelton. A large brick building has been erected on the reclaimed land at Wellington for use as a bulk store. In addition to amounts previously authorized but not yet expended, provision is made on the current year's estimates for new post-office buildings at Papatoetoe, Mamaku, Manunui, Patea, Tokomaru, Kimbolton, Khandallah, Island Bay, Woodend, Duvauchelles, Methven, Dunedin, St. Clair, and Riversdale ; for alterations and additions at Hamilton, Gisborne, Raetihi, Palmerston North, and Christchurch; also for accommodation for the automatic-telephone system at Auckland, Hamilton, Masterton, Wellington, Blenheim, Oamaru, and Dunedin.

Mental Hospitals. The principal expenditure during the past financial year was in connection with the main block of the '"new Mental Hospital at Tokanui, which was completed under contract in|February|last. Nine cottages have been built for the staff, and temporary accommodation provided for patients and attendants. A substantial vote is proposed to continue work in connection with this Hospital during the current year. A new auxiliary building at Porirua was completed and equipped ; additions made to the Sunnyside institution, and alterations to provide additional accommodation were carried out at the Simla auxiliary at Seacliff. An additional block of buildings at Waitati was almost completed. Since the close of the financial year two contracts have been let for auxiliary buildings at Auckland Mental Hospital, for which a vote of £29,000 is provided, and items to cover necessary works at Porirua, Sunnyside, Waitati, Seacliff, and Nelson also appear on the estimates. Agriculture. Further expenditure is contemplated this year to provide up-to-date buildings and equipment for the experimental farms, to make these institutions object-lessons in all that makes for effective working and economy. When the farms were started there was an almost entire absence of modern equipment, and improvements are being effected generally, the expenditure being spread over a number of years. An experimental farm is being established at Mamaku, on which investigations into the cause of bush sickness in cattle may be continued. At Ruakura drainage operations which have materially increased the fertility of the land are to be continued. A noteworthy increase in the numbers of purebred live-stock imported involves extensions of the accommodation at some of the quarantine stations. At one or two places where resident officers find it practically impossible to rent suitable houses the Department is providing residences at moderate cost. Hospitals. Under the heading " Public Health, Hospitals, and Charitable Institutions," there was an expenditure last year of £9,126 out of the Public Works Fund. On the current year's estimates provision is made for £25,530, of which it is anticipated that £10,000 will come to charge before the 31st March- next. Last year's expenditure included hospital accommodation at Rotorua, and an up-to-date Maternity Hospital at Wellington. It is proposed to provide similar institutions at Auckland and Christchurch, and the largest items on the estimates relate to these respective proposals. School Buildings. The expenditure during the past year was £105,000, of which nearly £83,000 was paid to the respective governing bodies for the erection of schools, additions to existing buildings, equipment and sites for public schools, teachers' residences, technical and secondary schools, and University colleges. The purchase of the Stoke Industrial School property was completed and two residences provided. An addition was made to the day school at Weraroa Training Farm, and a gymnasium and cottage provided at Burnham Industrial School. The Sumner School for the Deaf was enlarged and a workshop built. New Native schools were established at Taemaro (Bay of Islands), Waiorongomai, and Horoera (East Coast). The vote proposed for the current year includes a substantial grant for a new site and building for the Auckland University College, as well as the usual grants for buildings and sites to the several Education Boards, Technical and Secondary Schools and University Colleges, and also provision for further buildings required in connection with the School for the Deaf, the Otekaike Home, and the different Native and Industrial Schools. Workers' Dwellings. The expenditure under this head during the past year amounted to £46,455 — an appreciable increase over that of the preceding year. The demand for workers' dwellings under the conditions provided in the Act is increasing, and for the current year an authorization of £75,000 is proposed for the acquisition of land, roadformation on sites, and erection of buildings. On account of this sum a vote of £65,000 is asked for for the requirements of the current year.

DEVELOPMENT OF WATEE-POWEE. Satisfactory progress has been made with the Lake Coleridge power-works. The works now under construction provide for headworks and buildings for supplying 10,000 horse-power, whilst the plant on order is capable of supplying 4,000 horse-power after allowing for one spare unit. Transmission lines will be erected in duplicate between Lake Coleridge and Christchurch, where a substation will be built containing the necessary transforming plant, also in duplicate. In connection with this substation a standby plant consisting of oil-enginesjdriving three-phase generators will be installed so as to maintain the supply to Christchurch and district in the event of failure of the transmission line. From the substation, which is situated in Addington, power will be supplied to Christchurch and to the surrounding district for a radius of twenty miles or thereabouts. In connection with these works a total of forty-two contracts have been entered into, the contract sums amounting to £167,686, in addition to which the Department is carrying out, by direct labour or on the co-operative principle, inlet works at the lake entrance of the tunnel and outlet works at the connection between the tunnel and the pipe-lines, foundations to pipe-lines, excavations for power-house foundations and for tail-race, maintenance of roads between Coalgate and Coleridge, and transportation and erection of plant. The total expenditure to date is £82,897, whilst the liability amounts to t1.21,236, and it is estimated that a sum of £48,484 is required to complete the works now under construction, making a gross total of £252,617. A contract has been entered into with the Christchurch City Council to supply them with power as from Ist May next at varying rates according to the load. At present there is a prospect that the works will be completed in time, the determining feature being the pipe-line, the contract for which is much behindhand. Negotiations for a supply of power to the Christchurch Tramway Board are proceeding, and similar negotiations will shortly be opened with other power users and local authorities within the area of supply from the substation. Last year's expenditure in connection with the development of water-power amounted to £35,009, and for the current year a vote of £200,000 is provided. Licenses for Electric Light and Power. Numerous licenses have been issued to local authorities and companies to enable them to distribute electricity for light and power purposes, also sundry water-power licenses. lEEIGATION. Steady progress was made during the year with the development of the scheme to irrigate the Ida Valley from reservoirs constructed in the Manorburn and Poolburn Valleys. A road has been made between the head of Ida Valley and the site of the proposed dam on the Manorburn, to permit of the transport of heavy materials for construction-work. Excavation for the concrete dam has been taken out, and preparations made to push the work on during the coming summer. The Bonanza Water-race has been enlarged for some distance to carry water for irrigation in a portion of the valley, and water was turned on to some of the land commanded by the race during last spring and summer. Diverting weirs in the Poolburn and Moa Creek have been laid out and a good start made with the excavations of Black's No. 3. race on the west side of the valley. Unfavourable weather-conditions and excessive snowfall in the winter interfered somewhat with the working of the teams during the greater portion of the year. The survey of the water-race from the Manuherikia River to the flat between Clyde and Alexandra having been completed, the work of constructing same will be undertaken at once. The expenditure out of last year's vote amounted to £14,689, but a much larger sum will be required this year, and a vote of £35,000 is accordingly provided on the estimates.

WAIHOU AND OHTNEMUEI EIVEES IMPEOVEMENT. Detail works in accordance with the authorized scheme for the improvement of these two rivers and of the adjacent land have been vigorously pushed on. The destruction of growing willows along the banks of the Waihou and Komata tributary and the removal of boughs and snags from the streams has proceeded over a distance of eight miles on either bank. A contract, let in January, 1912, for straightening the courses of the Waihou and Ohinemuri rivers by means of the Ngararahi. and Koutou cuts, designed to lessen the risk of damage by overflow, is approaching completion. Another contract — for constructing a stop-bank along the right bank of the Ohinemuri alongside the town of Paeroa —was let in February last, and the contractor is making fair progress with his work. A site for a flood-gate on Cooper's Creek near its confluence with the Ohinemuri River has been selected, and the construction of the gate is in hand. Extensive surveys are necessary in connection with these river-improvement works and have been in progress throughout the year whenever weather-conditions were favourable. Surveys have also been made of lands injured or destroyed by silt for the guidance of the Commission appointed under the Act of 1910 to assess the amount of compensation payable for damaged land to be taken in accordance with the provisions of the special Act authorizing the improvement schemes. A contract was placed in April last with the Stevenson and Cook Company, of Dunedin, for the manufacture of a suction-dredge for use in carrying out the improvement scheme, the time fixed for its completion being the middle of April next, and the machinery required for its equipment has also been ordered. Last yea.r's expenditure in connection with these river-improvement works amounted to £9,555. For the current year a vote of £30,000 is asked for. TOUEIST AND HEALTH EESOETS. The expenditure under this heading for the year amounted to £12,906, the principal part being in connection with the erection of the new hostel at the Hermitage. At Hanmer Springs boring for a further supply of hot mineral water was undertaken and was rewarded with success. The water is now laid on to the bath buildings and swimming-pools. At Rotorua further improvements were made to the reserves and buildings, also to the drainage and water-supply and electrical works. It is stated that a practicable track can be made from Milford Sound to the head of Lake Wakatipu via the Cleddau Valley. In the event of this turning out to be correct, steps will at once be taken to survey and form the track. For the current year a vote of £16,000 is provided, with which it is intended to complete and equip the new hostel at the Hermitage, make much-needed extension to Waitomo Caves hostel, and further develop and improve other scenic districts and resorts. TELEGEAPH-EXTENSION. The expenditure on telegraph and telephone extension during the year amounted to £251,375. Among the larger works undertaken may be mentioned the construction of the following land lines: Ohakune-Raurimu, Napier-Waipawa, WellingtonPalmerston North, Masterton Alfredton, Christchurch Kaikoura, ChristchurchRakaia, Christchurch-Timaru, and Invercargill-Lumsden, while high-power wireless stations at Awanui and Awarua and a low-power station at Wellington have been completed and opened for business. The vote for the current year amounts to £376,000, made up as under: — £ New telegraph and telephone lines .... .... 75,000 New telephone-exchange connections .... .... 220,000 Wireless installations .... .... .... 30,000 Submarine cables .... .... .... .... 10,000 Automatic-telephone installations ~.. .... 41,000 £376,000

LIGHTHOUSES. HARBOUR-WORKS, AND HARROUB DEFENCES. Lighthouses. The lighthouse works undertaken during the year were —the completion of the new lighthouse on Castle Point and the automatic light on the Chickens Island, and the erection of a new automatic light at the entrance to Whangarei Harbour, towards the cost of which the Government contributed a pound-for-pound subsidy. The apparatus for the new automatic light in Cook Strait has been ordered, and should arrive in the Dominion shortly. Arrangements are now being made for the construction of the tower. The apparatus for the new automatic light on Channel Islet, in the Hauraki Gulf, has arrived in Wellington, and the erection will be commenced shortly. A contract has been let for the erection of a new store for the Marine Department in Wellington, and the erection of the structure has been commenced. A new road to connect Godley Head Lighthouse with Lyttelton is under construction. The sum of £7,375 will be required for lighthouse-works during the current financial year. Harbour-works. The works carried out during last year were—the erection of a section of a breastwork along the face of the reclamation at Kohukohu ; the erection of wharves at Tangaihi (Kaipara), Ruakiwi (Whaingaroa), Lemon Point (Kawhia), Little Wanganui and German Bay (Akaroa), and the completion of the wharf at Half-moon Bay, Stewart Island ; removal of rocks in the Kaipara River ; improving navigation of the Wade River ; roading the Manukau Harbour Endowment ; improving the entrance to Awakino River ; erection and equipment of Meteorological Observatory in Wellington ; harbour-improvements at Takaka and Karamea ; and the installation of a more powerful oil-engine winch for the fishermen's boat-slip at Nugget Bay. The new works to be provided for during the current year are —further grants for the Kohukohu reclamation breastwork ; the deepening of the Mahurangi River ; the Karamea River improvements and the Nugget Bay fishermen's landing ; grants for ferry-slips at Raupo and Tikinui (Kaipara) ; improving navigation of Taheke, Wade, and Waikato Rivers ; wharves at Pahia (Bay of Islands), Whangamarino Falls, Raglan, Kutarere (Ohiwa), Collingwood, and Taieri Mouth ; and harbourimprovements at Wairau. An authorization of £15,811 is required for harbour-works, on account of which a vote of £11,000 is proposed for the current financial year. Harbour Defences. A 6 in. Mark VII battery at Auckland has been constructed, principally by prison labour, and other minor works have been carried out in other parts of the Dominion. The expenditure last year was very small, but a vote of £3,000 is asked for the current year. GROSS TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS. In addition to the votes already specially mentioned the estimates make provision for the undermentioned services : — £ Departmental .. ~ .. .. .. 64,200 Immigration .. .. ... .. .. 36,000 Contingent defence . . .. .. .. .. 50,000 Lands improvement .. .. .. .. 31,700 thus bringing the total amount of the proposed appropriations, including special accounts, up to £3,427,325, as against £3,143,111 voted, and £2,520,799 actually expended last year. CONCLUSION. The rapid increase of settlement necessitates year by year a corresponding increase of road and bridge construction, and the end thereof is not yet in sight. There are still far too many settlers who have had for years past either no access or quite inadequate access to their properties, but the number of these I am pleased to say is diminishing. Once these arrears have been overtaken it will be a much easier task to provide only for the needs of new settlers.

During the financial year a total length of 52 miles 51 chains of railway, as shown in the following table, was opened for general traffic : —

Kaihu Valley Railway (16 m. 67 eh. to 19 m. 24 eh. —2 miles 37 chains in length). Rails have been laid and ballasting is practically completed to 18 m. 40 eh. A bridge at this point is almost finished, as are also bridges at 18 m. 45 eh. and 18 m. 65 eh. A siding 30 chains in length was constructed into ballast-pit at Maropiu. The formation of Waima Station yard is finished. All works on this line should be completed within six months. Kawakawa-Hoki.\nga Railway. Ngapipito Section (0 m. to 7 m.J. —All bridges on this section have been completed. The ballasting is completed up to 6 m., leaving only 1 mile to finish. The railway reserve has been fenced on both sides. Kaikohe Section (7 m. 0 eh. to 16 m. 25 eh.). —The formation-work is nearing completion. The formation of Otuhi and Rakatau station-yards is in hand. Approach roads have been made to Rakatau and Kaikohe «tation-yards. All culverts, fencing, bridges, and platelaying on main line have been completed during the year. There are, however, still 2 miles of sidings to put in. All ballasting has been finished except about 1J miles of top lift on main line and the ballasting of station-yards; station buildings are being erected by day labour and petty contracts at Kaikohe, Ngapipito, and Otuhi station-yards. The permanent telephone-line is in course of construction. North Auckl.and Railway. Kaiwaka Section (72 m. eh. to 81m. 30 eh.). —A turntable was erected at Kaiwaka Station yard. Slips, especially between 77 m. 65 eh. and 80 m. 78 eh., were very troublesome. This section was finally completed and handed over to Railway Department on the 18th March, 1913. Otamatea Section (81m. 30 eh. to 83 m. 75 eh.). —The Kaitara bank and 10 ft. culvert have now been completed. The pug cuttings between 82 m. 10 eh. and 34 eh. slipped badly, but have since been cleared out. The rails have been laid to 83 m. 73'50ch., and the ballasting, except on the Kaitara bank, complete to 83 in. 68 eh. The Otamatea Wharf was completed at the end of May, and the approach-filling is now in hand. The contract for the erection of the Otamatea Bridge is considerably behind time; three 41 ft. and four 100 ft. spans have been completed. Bickerstaffe Section (83 m. 75 eh. to 88 m. 20 eh.). —The Bickerstafie tunnel, 8J chains long, has been completed. The bridge over Muddy Creek at 86 m. 70 eh. is almost completed. The driving of Maungaturoto Tunnel is proceeding slowly on account of the heavy nature of the country, about 7 chains of tunnel having been completed. The earthworks (with one or two exceptions) on this section are complete. Huarau Section (88 m. 20 eh. onwards). —Formation and culverts are in hand up to 88 m. 48 eh., but work has been delayed pending the location of the line further ahead. HuXTLY-AWAROA RAILWAY. Huntly-Awaroa Section (7 miles 2£ chains in length). —Earthworks have been completed up to 1 m. 40 eh., and are in hand up to 3 m. The combined road and railway bridge over the Waikato River at Huntly is nearing completion, there remaining unfinished the last 100 ft. span and a small extension rendered necessary by road-alterations in Huntly Township. East Coast Main Trunk Railway. Waihi—Tauranga. Waihi Southwards Section. —The bulk of the earthworks and many of the culverts on the first 4 miles are completed.

The works now under construction provide for headworks and buildings for supplying 10,000 h.p., whilst the plant now on order consists of three turbine generator sets, each of 2,000 h.p. capacity, making a total of 6,000 h.p., of which two units giving 4,000 h.p. will be available for supply purposes, leaving the third unit as spare. Transforming plant is being provided in duplicate for transforming up from 6,600 volts to 66,000 volts pressure, suitable for transmission throughout the Canterbury Province. The transmission-lines between Coleridge and Christchurch will also be in duplicate, and erected for the most part along separate routes, thus providing for the greatest possible immunity from interruptions due to atmospheric influences. A substation building is being erected in Addington, which will contain the transforming plant, which is also in duplicate. This plant is designed for transforming the pressure from 66,000 volts. at which the current will be transmitted from Coleridge, to 11,000 volts, suitable for distribution to Christchurch and for a radius of twenty miles from Addington. it is proposed further to provide a stand-by plant in this substation, consisting of oil-engines driving three-phase generators, which will enable the supply to be partly maintained in the event of failure of the transmissionline or generating plant. A list of contracts entered into for plant and works is shown in Table No. 1 annexed hereto— a total of forty-two contracts, amounting to £167,686. In addition to the above contracts the Department is carrying out by direct labour or co-operative contracts the following works : — [nlel works for establishing communication between the tunnel and the lake. Outlet works for connecting (he funnel to the pipe lines. Foundation to pipe lines. Excavating for power-house foundations. Excavations for tail-race. Maintenance of roads between Coaigate and headworks. Transportation and erection of plant. Reviewing the works as they now stand —Hist, as regards the tunnel, a shaft was driven from the surface approximately midway between the two ends, and the work of excavating the tunnel was carried out from the two outer faces inwards, and from the two inner faces outwards. The tunnel was driven through between the centre shaft and the outlet end on the 24th July, and the work of lining this portion is being proceeded with. The work of excavating the other portion of the tunnel between the centre shaft and the lake has been slower, as part of the excavation is in rock and 15 chains of tunnel remains to be excavated, which should be completed in ten weeks' time. It is estimated that the whole of the tunnel will be completed by the end of March. The pipe-line contract is in a very unsatisfactory state, and the contractors will require to double their rate of progress in of'der to complete in time to enable the Department to fulfil its obligations. Strenuous efforts are being made to expedite this portion of the work. The power-house buildings are also very much behind, and considerable improvement must lie made with this work also. The substation buildings are approaching completion. Witli regard to the plant, two of the turbines and the whole of the transformers have already arrived in the Dominion; the remaining turbine and generators, together with switch gear, will be shipped very shortly, and it is anticipated that the whole of the plant will be delivered by the end of December, when the work of erection will be vigorously proceeded with. With regard to the transmission-line, the conductors, flu- insulators, and other accessories have arrived, also 1,000 out of 1,750 poles--sufficient, in fact, to complete one transmission-line--and a contract has been placed fur carting and erecting the poles and insulators. The underground cables for connecting the substation in Addington to the municipal electricity works of Christchurch have come to hand, and arrangements are being made for laving the same. A quantity of material for serving the districts surrounding Christchurch has arrived, and will be erected when more definite arrangements for the supply of power to these districts'have been made. The maintenance of the roads between Coaigate and Coleridge is costing a good deal more than anticipated : some .£4,500 has already been spent, and £1,500 more will be required. The

83

D.—l

excess is mainly due to the presence of a belt of trees along part of the route which keeps the road from drying; the road was in a bad state for this reason when we took it over, and we have not been able to restore it to the extent of enabling traffic to be maintained in wet weather as well as in dry weather. The problem of transportation is a serious one, as we require to transport 95 tons of coal and cement per week —practically ten traction-engine loads—without interruption; in addition to this we require to transport the machinery, and the road has to be kept open for the power-house contractor, the pipe-line contractor, and the transmission-line. The Department is under contract to supply Christchurch by the Ist May, 1914, and as far as 1 can see there is reasonable prospect of acting up to our obligation. The critical elements at present are the pipe-line contract, delivery of machinery in good time, and the transportation of material from Coaigate to Coleridge. With regard to the cost of construction, a statement of the payments made to the end of July, the liabilities and estimate for completion against the several sections of the work, is shown in Table II herewith. The total expended is £82,897; the total liability is ,£121,236; estimate to complete, £48,484; total, £252,617. The original estimate for the completion of the works corresponding to the stage now under construction was £251,214, showing an excess of £1,403. The estimate to complete, however, includes contingency items which may or may not eventuate. At any rate, the works will be completed substantially in accordance with the original'estimate. A contract lias been entered into with the Christchurch City Council in the following terms :— 1. Supply shall be given in the form of three-phase current having a periodicity of 50 cycles per second at a pressure on 11,000 volts. 2. Power shall be delivered to the City Council at three points, viz. :- — (1.) The present generating-station at the destructor at Christchurch. (2.) A building situate in the Council's yard at the corner of Montreal Street and Moorhouse Avenue, or such other point as may be agreed upon. (3.) A building situate within the city area at a point to be determined. The Council shall pay the Department for the supply at the rate of £8 13s. 4d. per annum per kilowatt for 300 kilowatts, and £5 per kilowatt per annum for every kilowatt demanded by the Council in excess of 300. 4. The maximum demand shall be deemed to be the maximum output required at any one time during the year, averaged over half au hour, from the Department's substation to the Corporation's substations, as measured at the Department's substation by a meter to be provided by the Government. 5. The loss in the mains at maximum load between the Department's substation and the Corporation's substation shall not exceed 2| per cent. Should the loss exceed per cent, a proportionate reduction in charge shall be made by the Department. 6. Payments shall lie made quarterly, and shall be one-fourth the amount of yearly payment based upon the maximum observed during the last four quarters, including that for which payment is being made. 7. During the first year of operation and until the maximum for the year is ascertained payments are to be. made quarterly on the basis of the maximum observed in the interval between the date upon which supply commences and the date upon which payment becomes due; any difference between the sums paid and the total amount due to the Department on the basis of the yearly maximum shall be adjusted at the end of the first year. 8. The Council agrees to take a minimum supply of 500 kilowatts. 9. The Department will guarantee to supply 4,500 kilowatts if and when required by the Council after twelve months' notice. 10. The Department agrees to commence to supply and the Council agrees to take a supply of not less than 500 kilowatts not later than the Ist .May, 1914. 11. The scale of prices agreed upon is to remain in force for five years from the date of commencing the supply. At the end of the said five years the contract shall be renewed for a further term, and at such prices and for such period as may be agreed upon. 12. The Council agrees not to .charge power-consumers more than £10 per annum per kilowatt of maximum demand provided that the maximum demand is not less than 30 kilowatts, and £12 per annum per kilowatt if the demand is less than 30 kilowatts. 13. The Department undertakes not to supply any consumer within the city boundaries other than the City Council, tfie Tramway Board, Drainage Board, other local bodies, and the Railway and Government Departments : Provided that any consumer other than the City- Council supplied under this clause shall be prohibited from retailing energy. The substance of the agreement is that the Council have agreed to take a supply from the Department and to pay £8 13s. 4d. per kilowatt per annum of maximum demand for the first 300 kilowatts of power, and £5 per kilowatt per annum for every kilowatt in excess of this. Before entering into the agreement the Council engaged Mr. Frederick Black-, M.1.E.E., consulting enigneer, of AVellington. to report on the comparative cost of taking a supply from the Department and of generating electricity by gas, steam, or oil engines, and to estimate the cost of the necessary transforming plant and of reticulating the city. Mr. Black's investigation was exhaustive, his conclusions final, and his recommendations unequivocal for the conditions of load obtaining in Christchurch. Mr. Black made a comparison at two stages in the growth of the business —viz., 2,090 kw. and 3,250 kw., corresponding to 2,801 h.p. and 4,360 h.p. respectively, anticipated in 1916 and 1919—that is, two yerrs-and five years after the supply is first commenced. The comparison is as follows :—

The qualification made by Mr. Black, as to conditions of demand should be borne in mind, as it suggests that under other conditions the relative positions may be altered. It should also be noted that the Department's terms were only accepted after exhaustive inquiry and proof that there was a substantial advantage in accepting them. Air. Black, in his report, raised the question of a stand-by plant, and insisted in its necessity in the case of long transmission-lines, though in the case of the Waipori plant most of the interruptions experienced have been due to failure of the wooden flumiug at the headworks. Every precaution has been taken by the Department against failure in the works now under construction. The pipe-line is in duplicate; there is ample margin of spare plant; the trans-mission-line is in duplicate, carried on separate poles, and erected for the most part along separate routes; the plant in the main substation, and also the cables between the substation and the Council's works, are in duplicate; and the water storage is sufficient to maintain a supply of 10,000 h.p. continuously for 200 days without any inflow whatsoever. It has generally been recognized that a local stand-by plant is desirable in case of long transmission-lines : the difficulty has hitherto been that no previously existing form of fuel plant could be considered satisfactory for this purpose. A steam, plant to be of any use as stand-by must be kept under steam, involving attendance, fuel-consumption, and as much repairs and depreciation as if in full operation, and the same applies, though to a less extent, to a gas-engine plant. We have now, however, the benefit of a new invention —viz., the oil-engine —which is admirably adapted as a stand-by plant : it consumes no fuel when not at work, and it can be started up in a few minutes. It is true that the cost of oil renders the comparison with steam or gas unfavourable for long continuous service, but this disability does not apply when the plant is used for stand-by purposes. The principle of employing oil-engines as auxiliaries in conjunction with water-power plant as a cheap method of supplying intermittent demands in excess of the capacity of the water-power plant has been adopted by the Department; the plant so provided can be utilized for stand-by purposes. Negotiations are now proceeding with the Christchurch Tramway Board on the same basis of price as the City Council, but the conditions are very different, because the Board is equipped with an up-to-date steam plant, capable of supplying their whole requirements for a long time to come, consequently the margin or balance of advantage in favour of the bulk supply from Lake Coleridge is less, because interest and sinking fund have to be paid on the existing investment in plant and buildings; nevertheless'it is hoped that mutually satisfactory arrangements may be arrived at. There is an insistent demand for power from local authorities and power-users outside the limits of Christchurch, which we hope to satisfy in the course of the first year of operation, after which the duty of supplying power to other districts in the Canterbury Province will be entered into. A supply to the Government workshops at Addington is also under consideration, when it is hoped that it will be used not only for running the workshop tools but also for steel-making or steel-refining It has been evident during the progress of the works now in course of construction that successful results could only be obtained by placing the works in sole charge of an engineer wdio would devote his whole time to organizing the work with a view to economy and rapid completion of the same. Mr. Lawrence Birks, B.Sc, A.M.1.C.E., M.1.E.E., has now been appointed to this position. He will also carry out the duties pertaining to the local management of the undertaking as a business concern. Electric Light and Power Licenses. Licenses under the Public Works Act have been issued to the following local authorities and companies : Opotiki Borough Council, Hastings Borough Council, Napier Borough Council (amending regulations), Wellington Steam Ferry Company, Wairoa Borough Council, Mataura Borough Council (extensions), Acetone Illuminating and Welding Company, Thames Borough Council, Ngaruawahia Town Board, Hastings Borough Council (amending regulations), Silver

AA r ater-power licenses have been issued to the following: Mangaweka Town Board; Robert. Ellis, of Brightwater, for supply to Richmond and Brightwater; and the Dominion Portland Cement Company. In connection with the issue of licenses the Department supervises the work during construction and inspects after completion. The Department is also the authority to whom disputes are referred as regards the accuracy of wattmeters, voltmeters, and ammeters, or any other matters in dispute between the supply authority and the consumer. For this purpose it is necessary to maintain standard instruments for testing purposes, and a set of standards has been procured which constitute the standards of electrical measurement for the Dominion.
