1913. NEW ZEALAND

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

Mr Speaker,— The presentation of the Railways Statement for the year ending 31st March, 1913, imposes on me the pleasing duty of having to announce that the result of the year's operations has been satisfactory. The revenue has maintained the buoyancy that has characterized it during recent years, and the actual earnings have exceeded the estimate by £226,002 and the earnings of the preceding year by £294,493. The results may be summarized thus : — Year 1913. Year 1912. jg jg Total earnings ... ... ... ... 3,971,002 3,676,509 Total expenditure ... ... ... ... 2,705,609 2,465,896 Net profit on working ... ... ...£1,265,393 £1,210,613 GENERAL. The mileage of line open for traffic on the 31st March, 1913, was 2,860 miles, as against 2,808 miles for the previous year. The average miles operated during the year was 2,840 miles. The following extensions were opened during the year : — M. oh. Westport-Te Kuha ... ... ... ... ... ... 5 61 Waikohu-Otoko ... ... ... ... ... ... 7 79 Te Wera-Pohokura ... ... ... ... ... ... 8 51 Mina - Parnassus ... ... ... ... ... ... 8 51 Kiwi - Glenhope ... ... ... ... ... ... 12 45 Te Hana-Kaiwaka ... ... ... ... ... ... 8 67 52 34 The capital cost of lines open for traffic, including plant and steamers on Lake Wakatipu, has increased from £30,506,089 to £31,611,220. The net revenue (£1,265,393) is equal to a return of 4-04 per cent, on the capital invested in the open lines, and 3-74 per cent, on the capital (£33,831,783) invested in opened and unopened lines. The number of train-miles run during the year was 9,016,224, being an increase of 644,537. The increased train-mileage represents additional facilities to meet the requirements of the business and public convenience, and has cost over £193,000.

The addition made to the train services in the North Island account for 499,951 miles, and in the South Island services for 107,376 miles. The principal additions and alterations involving the extra mileage were : — In the North Island : Extension of Saturday night train Hikurangi to Hukerenui; Auckland suburban services increased and extended north to Swanson and south to Papakura ; express service, Auckland to and from Helensville ; extra train Frankton Junction to Thames and back; morning train, Huntly to Mercer and back on Saturdays ; extra express, Auckland to and from Morrinsville ; motor train between Morrinsville and Putaruru ; extra services between Te Kuiti and Taumarunui; improved services between Wellington and Paekakariki, WellingtonUpper Hutt, Palmerston North - Foxton, Wellington-Woodville ; extra trains run to Te Aro instead of terminating at Lambton (Wellington); extra express between Wellington and Auckland during summer season. Of these services the Hiku-rangi-Hukerenui, Huntly-Mercer, Lambton-Te Aro, Wellington-Auckland second express, and Auckland-Morrinsville expresses diave been discontinued owing to unsatisfactory results. The Putaruru-Morrinsville motor service does not nearly pay operating-expenses, but, as it meets a want in a district that is growing in importance and has few trains, it is being continued and extended in the hope that traffic may be developed in the near future. In the South Island: Workers' train, Christchurch-Templeton; accelerated service, Ashburton-Christchurch, two days per week ; extra train between Methven and Rakaia also, Timaru to Christchurch and back, on one day per week; improved suburban service, Dunedin to Mosgiel and Port Chalmers; workers' train, BluffInvercargill; improved service, Gore-Lumsden and Invercargill-Orepuki-Tuatapere. The Christchurch-Templeton workers' train and the Timaru-Christchurch-Methven and Cheviot Branch Wednesday services proved unpayable, and were consequently discontinued. Floods and slips of a heavy character occurred on several occasions during the year and caused considerable interruption to the train services. The Main Trunk line was blocked for four days from the 20th to 24th June by slips at Poro-o-tarao and Horopito, passengers and mails having to be transhipped by coaches run between Ohakune and Cheviot-Eyreton and Methven lines were flooded on the 11th, 12th, and 13th July; Wellington-Woodville liae interrupted by washouts and slips on the 16th and 17th July. Canter bury-West Coast line was blocked from the 17th to the 20th July by a slip near Broken River, passengers being transhipped by coach. The North Island Main Trunk line was blocked by a slip near Horopito from the 11th to the 16th October, passengers being transhipped by coaches run to and from Ohakune. On the 28th and 29th March heavy floods in Southland caused suspension of traffic until the 31st March, when train services were resumed between Clinton-Invercargill-Kingston, and on Waimea Plains, Waikaka, Forest Hill, and Seaward Bush lines. The Nightcaps and Tuatapere lines resumed working on the Ist April, and Wyndham and Mararoa Branches later. On the 29th March a heavy flood in the Rangitata River damaged the railwaybridge, rendering it unsafe for trains to cross. Passengers were transferred to trains on either side, but it was not until the 2nd April that repairs were sufficiently far advanced to make the bridge safe for the passage of trains drawn by light engines. The following figures, which give the record of the late arrival of the principal trains during the year, indicate that, notwithstanding various alterations made in the train services and the difficulties encountered in connection with and arising out of floods, slips, and other unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, the trains as a whole have maintained punctuality.

The passenger traffic for the year increased very materially, the number actually carried being 13,123,879, an increase of 1,232,745 over the previous year. Season tickets issued number 265,259, an increase of 28,302. The number of workers' twelve-trip tickets issued was 53,697, and of workers' weekly tickets available over suburban lines 148,954, an increase of 4,621 twelve-trip and 19,430 workers' weekly tickets over the previous year. Holiday excursion tickets issued numbered 964,695, an increase of 124,222 on the traffic of the previous year ; school, factory, and friendly societies' excursions numbered 133,897, a decrease of 928 on last year's figures. The coaching traffic shows substantial increases under each of the headings under which the traffic is grouped. The increases are : Parcels, 129,966 ; horses, 1,461 ; carriages, 103J; dogs, 1,232. In the goods and live-stock traffic the increases are : Drays, 285 ; cattle and calves, 14,049 head ; chaff, lime, &c, 21,528 tons ; wool, 6,128 tons ; firewood, 1,636 tons ; grain, 232,343 tons ; merchandise, 34,768 tons ; minerals, 84,200 tons. There were decreases in—sheep, 65,638 head ; pigs, 11,138 head ; and timber, 23,353 tons. The principal factor in connection with the decrease in sheep traffic was the labour trouble with the slaughtermen. This restricted the operations of the various freezing companies to a very considerable extent, as shown by the fallingoff of 272,000 head of sheep in the Wellington, Picton, and Invercargill districts. In other districts the sheep business shows an advance on that of the previous year. The decrease in the number of pigs was caused through a drop in the number raised by dairy-farmers, there being more inducement for farmers to rear calves than pigs. The heavy drop in the timber traffic is chiefly in the Westland and Christchurch districts, and is ascribed to the financial stringency on the West Coast causing a material decrease in the export of timber to Canterbury ports. The average number of men employed on the railways during the year was 14,213, against 13,523 for the previous year. During the year 13 members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division ; 462 members of the permanent staff resigned, 98 retired on superannuation, 42 died, 97 were dismissed, and 1,209 were engaged. The sum of £12,616 was paid during the year under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act. The rolling-stock was augmented by the addition of twenty new engines. Of this number thirteen, comprising five large tender engines, Class Ba, and eight heavy tank engines, Class Wg, were built in the Government railway workshops. Seven Class Ad 72-ton four-cylinder balanced compound tender engines were completed under the contract with Messrs. A. and G-. Price (Limited), of Thames. There were 77 new bogie cars, 5 bogie brake-vans, 1,032 wagons, and 1,267 tarpaulins turned out of the railway workshops during the year. 2,182 modern steel axles were placed under cars, brake-vans, and wagons in substitution of the old iron axles. The effect of this alteration is to increase the carrying-capacity of each wagon by 2 tons, while giving greater stability to the wagon. The quantity of Pintsch gas manufactured at the railway gasworks was 9,994,930 cubic feet. On the sections not provided with Pintsch gas the cars are lighted with acetylene gas, and practically all the cars on the small sections are now equipped with this system of lighting. Dining the year 104J miles of track wen v relaid : 83| miles of main line with 70 lb. rails, 20 miles of branch line with 53 lb. rails removed from main lines, and three-quarters of a mile of branch line with new 55 lb. steel material. Ballast to the extent of 290,000 cubic yards and 235,378 sleepers were put into the track during the year. Difficulties experienced by shipowners in respect to labour prevented the Department from getting delivery of sleepers contracted for, and this materially retarded relaying operations.

A considerable number of improvements have been carried out at various stations connected with the railway system throughout the Dominion. They consist of iucreased accommodation at stations, additions to station buildings, erection of verandas, extension of sidings, provision of water-services and stock-yards, social halls for staff, erection of turntables, cranes, houses for staff, improved lighting at stations, workshops, strengthening bridges, sanitary conveniences, fire-prevention services, and many other works too numerous to particularize. The programme now in hand comprises works that are intended to give increased facilities for meeting the public requirements and at the same time enable the Department to carry on its operations satisfactorily. The signal and interlocking systems have been brought into operation during the year at Gore, Abbot's Creek, Black Jack's Point, Fendalton tramway crossing, Paeroa, Pokeno grade-easement crossing, Otahuhu, and Westfield. The interlocking has also been added to and rearranged at Abbotsford, Christchurch, Pukerua, Thorndon, Taihape, and Remuera. Eighty-two electric tablet instruments and 115 miles of line have been brought into operation on the sections Waipukurau-Napier, Greymouth-Dunollie, HendersonKaukapakapa, Morrinsville-Putaruru ; and Waikumete, Pokako, Kakahi, Porewa, Hangatiki, Marakeke, Okahukura, Linton ballast-pit have also been installed as tablet stations. Automatic tablet exchanges were fitted at twenty-seven additional stations. The electric lock-and-block system for double-line working was brought into operation between Abbotsford and Abbot's Creek. Thirteen additional stations were equipped with fixed semaphore signals, and the telegraph and telephone system increased by 493 miles of wire. 1,504 miles of line are now controlled by the electric tablet system, 39| miles of double track by the electric lock-and-block system. The railway telegraph and telephone facilities now comprise 2,295 miles of poles and 6,133 miles of wire. The expenditure on the various adjuncts to safety since 1901 has amounted to no less than £301,051. 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 £3,971,002. It exceeded the estimate by £226,002 and the gross revenue for the preceding year by £294,493. Passenger revenue shows an increase of £128,514 ; season tickets, £14,244 ; coaching traffic, £11,875 ; goods and live-stock, £124,902 ; miscellaneous, rents and commission, £14,958. The receipts per train-mile from the North Island main line and branches amounted to Bs. ljd. against Bs. 4d. for the previous year, a decline of 2jd. per trainmile in gross receipts. The net revenue per train-mile was 2s. 7 - 30 d., against 2s. 10'76d. last year, a decline of 3"46 d. From the South Island main line and branches the gross receipts per train-mile were 9s. 2|d., against Bs. 9jd. for the previous year, an advance of s|d. per train-mile in gross receipts. The net receipts per train-mile advanced by 3*osd. For all lines the gross receipts were Bs. 9|d., as against Bs. 9|d. for last year, an increase of 0-25 d. per train-mile. The net earnings amounted to £446 per mile for the average number of miles open, and gave a return of 4-04 per cent, on the capital cost. This return is the highest but one ever earned by our railways. The earnings of the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £7,021, as against £6,669 last year.

EXPENDITURE. The expenditure for the year, including the sum of £6,618 incurred in connection with the Lake Wakatipu steamers, amounted to £2,705,609, an increase of £239,713 over the previous year, and absorbed 68-13 per cent, of the revenue, as against 67*07 per cent, for the previous year. Expenditure. Per Cent, of Revenue. 1912-13. 1911-12. 1912-13. 1911-12. jg £ Traffic ... ... ... 768,937 670,632 1940 18-27 Locomotive ... ... 1,059,292 952,482 26-73 25-96 Maintenance ... ... 765,860 735,546 19-32 20-04 Management ... ... 104,902 101,239 2-64 2-76 2,698,991 2,459,899 68-09 67-03 Lake Wakatipu steamers ... 6,618 5,997 0-04 0-04 2,705,609 2,465,896 68-13 67-07 The increased expenditure in the Traffic Branch is due to the additional trainmileage, increases in wages of the staff, extension of tablet system and extra staff required to carry on the increasing business and operate the safety appliances installed. In the Locomotive Branch the increase is due to the extra train-mileage, additional staff to meet requirements of the business, advances in salaries and wages, and the prices paid for fuel, stores, and material. The increase in the cost of 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, has increased from £735,546 to £765,860, representing an average of £270*61 against £263*46 per mile of railway for the previous year. The increased expenditure has been incurred on the Whangarei-Kawakawa Section, £187 ; Gisborne, £1,579 ; North Island main line and branches, £27,414 ; South Island main line and branches, £3,099 ; Westland, £1,091 ; Picton, £91. The cost of maintenance has decreased on the Kaihu Section, £144 ; Westport, £1,315 ; Nelson, £1,688. In this branch also the principal increase has resulted from advance in the wages of the staff and the price of materials. Additions and improvements to lines, structures, rolling-stock, &c, costing £50,319, which might reasonably have been debited to capital have been made during the year and charged to working-expenses. The sum of £444,101 was expended under the head " Additions to open lines " and charged to Capital Account. Of this amount £279,524 was expended on rollingstock, tarpaulins, pneumatic coaling-cranes, Westinghouse brake, Pintsch gas, steam heating-gear, foot-warmers, workshop machinery, and steamer for Lake Wakatipu service. The rolling-stock in respect to which the charges were made consists of 20 locomotives, 71 carriages, 4 brake-vans, 40 bogie and 927 four-wheeled wagons, and 1,267 tarpaulins completed on the 31st March, 1913 ; and 44 locomotives, 99 carriages, 26 brake-vans, 113 bogie and 1,438 four-wheeled wagons, and 2,025 tarpaulins incomplete but in hand on that date. The sum of £164,577 was spent in additions to station buildings, extension of station-yards and siding accommodation, water-services, additional dwellings, purchase and reclamation of land, additions to workshops, cranes, weighbridges, turntables, stone-crusher, bridgework and subways, fire-prevention services, wharves, gasworks, extension of signal and interlocking system, tablet-installation, telegraph and telephone facilities, duplication of line, reduction in grades and improvement of curves, &c. DUPLICATION OF LINES. Expenditure under the Railways Improvements Authorization Act, 1904— Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication and deviation of line, £29,253 13s. 3d.

RESULTS OF WORKING. The following is a summary of results of working, for year ending the 31st March, 1913, as compared with 1912: —

CONCLUDING REMARKS AND FORECAST. The Hutt Road having been completed in readiness for handing over to the local bodies, a Commissioner was appointed in terms of the Act to hear evidence and apportion the charges incurred in connection with the formation of the road. The report of the Commissioner has now been received, and is engaging the attention of the Government. I anticipate that a final decision will be come to at an early date, and, as it is essential that the Railway Department should be relieved of the responsibility attaching to the upkeep of the road, over which it has practically no jurisdiction, arrangements are being made to vest the control of the

thoroughfare in the Wellington City Council, which body has the largest interests involved. The apportionment of the charges as fixed [by the Commissioner will also be gazetted in due course. During the year an extension of about three-quarters of a mile of the double line between Dunedin and Mosgiel was opened for traffic, and steady progress has been made with the piercing of the Chain Hills tunnel. The bad ground met with interfered materially with the boring operations, but as more favourable indications are now in evidence better progress is anticipated from now onwards to the completion of the tunnel, of which some 15 chains remain to be bored. Considerable progress has been made in connection with grade improvements in the North Island. On the Main Trunk line the improvements between Buckland and Tuakau, and at Pukekohe, have been completed, and a commencement made at easing grades between Tuakau and Pokeno. On the Wanganui - New Plymouth line the earthworks for the Manawapou Viaduct improvement are finished as far as practicable pending completion of the viaduct, construction of which is in hand. The reclamation of land in Mechanics Bay, Auckland, is in hand, and the sum of £11,089 was paid to the Auckland Harbour Board for reclamation carried out by the Board under agreement with the Railway Department. Messrs. Price (Limited) delivered during the year seven Ad locomotives constructed by them under contract, and have still to construct thirteen engines of the same type under existing contract. The rolling-stock under construction in the railway workshops on the 31st March consisted of 10 Class X 94-ton four-cylinder balanced compound, 1 Class Ba goods engine, and 20 Class Wg tank engines. The improvements and additions made to the rolling-stock during the past eighteen years have increased the tractive power by 259 per cent., seating-capacity by 208 per cent., wagon-capacity by 212 per cent. During the same period the rolling-stock equipment has been increased by 244 locomotives, 784 cars, 181 brake-vans, 1,053 sheep-trucks, 9,813 goodswagons. Special and sustained efforts are made to build rolling-stock with despatch so as to keep pace with the demands of the existing and prospective traffic. The programme for 1913-14 comprises 65 bogie cars, 19 bogie brake-vans, 68 bogie wagons, 522 four-wheeled wagons. The total rolling-stock actually under order at the present time comprises 44 locomotives, 108 cars, 27 brake-vans, 113 bogie wagons, and 1,475 four-wheeled wagons. The investigations made into the results of the motor-car experiments carried out over extended periods by other railway systems has shown the wisdom of proceeding cautiously in regard to ordering motor-cars for use on the New Zealand railways. Material alterations and improvements in this class of vehicle are daily taking place, but as a consequence of the satisfactory result of extended trials made on the South African lines two cars have been ordered for trial purposes on our railways. They will be placed in commission as early as possible after arrival in the Dominion, and if the results come up to anticipation the use of the cars will be extended as circumstances permit. The new steamer, " Barnslaw," built for the Lake Wakatipu service by Messrs. McGregor, of Dunedin, was placed in commission during the last summer season. The vessel fulfilled all requirements of the contract. It has a gross tonnage of 329 tons, carries 1,000 passengers, and steamed on trial trip 15 knots per hour. The vessel has already established itself as a favourite on the lake, but it is too large and costly to run during the winter season when the traffic is light. With a view to bringing the producer and consumer into closer relations, for the mutual benefit of both, arrangements were made for the through booking of fruit from various parts of the Dominion. Delivery at destination was also provided for in the case of larger centres, and a minimum rate of freight was fixed for both rail and sea transport. The steamship companies readily joined in the scheme and assisted as far as practicable. The Postal Department co-operated and arranged that orders for fruit might be transmitted through Postmasters to growers direct. Wide publicity was given to the arrangements, and every endeavour made in other directions to ensure the success of the project. The traffic results

D.—2

were, however, distinctly disappointing, the resultant business being insufficient to recoup the cost of bringing the arrangements into force. In response to strong representations made respecting conveyance of fruit from Auckland to Wellington by express, special arrangements were made, on the assurance of those concerned, that the traffic would amount to about 5 tons per day. In actual practice it did not average 5 cwt. per day, a quantity altogether inadequate to justify the running of a bogie wagon. Similar experience followed the efforts made to foster the fish industry and meet the requests of fishermen for improved means of transport. The traffic did not expand, consequently the cost of operating became greater than the value of the business, and loss resulted. This will readily be understood when it is remembered that 56 lb. of fruit can be railed any distance over a connected railway for 6d., and 7 lb. of fish any distance for 6d. Consumers who deal direct with producers can obtain the benefit of these rates, and it is a matter of surprise that the producer and consumer do not, under such circumstances, get into direct touch and take advantage of the facilities provided to enable them to save the cost inseparable from dealing through intermediaries. During last session an Act amending the schedule to the Government Railways Classification was passed. I have since further reviewed the matter, and in accordance with the intimation given to the representations of the Railway staff last year propose to ask Parliament to further amend the schedule. The regulations under the Act have also been carefully considered and revised to bring them more closely into line with the regulations applicable to other branches of the Public Service so far as leave of absence and travelling-allowances are concerned. The amended regulations will be gazetted shortly, and in addition to other improvements will Gontain provision for the issues of a privilege ticket to a superannuated member of the Railway service and his wife once a month. The regulations also contain provision under which members of the Second Division may qualify for transfer to the Eirst Division if they elect to attend at stations in their own time or to utilize the opportunities that may be afforded them at other periods to acquire a knowledge of accounting and other duties appertaining to the First Division. I trust members of the Second Division will take advantage of the regulation which has been made with a view to giving greater scope for their advancement to positions in the First Division, it being fully recognized that men who have had practical experience in the Second Division and subsequently qualify themselves for promotion are as a rule decided acquisitions to the First Division. The advent of road motor-vehicles has materially altered the conditions that existed in respect to railway-crossings when horses and bullocks provided the principal form of traction. The high rate of speed at which drivers of motor-vehicles drive over the public roads and dash over railway-crossings is a menace not only to the occupants of the cars, but to other persons who are using the road and to trains running on the railway. During the past year there have been a number of accidents on railway-crossings, some, unfortunately, attended with loss of life and severe personal injury to occupants of motor-cars driven on to crossings in the face of approaching trains. As the use of the motor-car extends, these risks will increase; and, with a view to providing additional safeguards, I have given instructions for the designing of automatic signals for use on railway level crossings. It is quite feasible to provide such appliances, and it is proposed to instal them on the busier crossings only at the outset, afterwards extending their use to additional crossings after practical experience has demonstrated the reliability and usefulness of the appliances. Automatic appliances of every kind are, however, liable to fail occasionally no matter what care and attention, is bestowed on their upkeep. The interests of the State must be safeguarded in this respect before any expenditure is incurred in erecting automatic alarms. The necessary legislation will be introduced this session. In view of the indifference persons in charge of vehicles display when approaching railway-crossings, and their disregard of warning bells, sign-posts, and even the signals of crossing-keepers, more stringent measures will require to be adopted in the interests of public safety and heavier penalties be pressed for in future cases where breaches of the by-laws are committed. During the year I have made investigation into the causes that are responsible for the percentage of working-expenses to earnings being so high, and find that

D.—2

the factors which in the main conduce to bring about the position are increased wages and shortening the hours of the staff, increasing train services by running trains for experimental development niany of which are unremunerative, opening of new sections of railway in undeveloped country where business is necessarily very restricted and unprofitable, additional staff necessitated by the expansion of interlocking and safety appliances which has resulted in a large proportion of what were unattended flag stations being converted into tablet stations, many of which are double-manned on account of long hours. The more extended hours trains are now running on the Main Trunk systems also necessitates increased staff. The rates paid for fuel, stores, and materials of every description used by the Railway Department have advanced in sympathy with the improvement that has taken place in working-conditions and wages in foreign countries and foreign and local industries.' My research into this aspect of the railway question has revealed the fact that New Zealand is by no means singular in respect to the advance of percentage of operating expenses to earnings. Every large railway system shows the same upward tendency following on their general advance of wages and shortening of the hours of staff, the increase in price of coal and other materials, more lavish train services without increasing the tariff to bring in additional revenue to correspond with the advance in expenditure. A comparison of the percentage of working-expenses in the railways of other Australian States, as shown in Table 15, if compared with the similar table of last year, will show that the working-expenses of all of these railways have increased with the exception of Tasmania, and in most cases the increases have been greater than those in New Zealand. New South Wales, for instance, increased from 61-09 in 1911 to 64-23 in 1912, and the latest report of the Commissioner gives the percentage as 68-82 in 1913. In other countries the same conditions occur, and the New Zealand percentage, though higher than I would like to see it, is not higher than that obtaining in other parts of the world. In the Canadian railways, for instance, the percentage for 1912 was 68-7, and in the United States railways 69-33, as against New Zealand 68-13. The running of trains in excess of the immediate requirements for the purpose of developing the country and inducing settlement, thus creating a traffic that will ultimately be remunerative, is sound in principle as a business proposition. So long, therefore, as the close scrutiny that has in the past been kept on this and all other items of railway expenditure continues I am satisfied the best results will follow, and an advance in the rates of expenditure to earnings need be no cause for misgiving in so far as railway operations are concerned. The effect increased train-mileage has on the financial results of working the railways is illustrated by the following figures relating to the North and South Island main lines and branches respectively. The North Island train-mileage was increased by 499,951 miles during the year, and the South Island main lines by 107,376 miles. The earnings per train-mile in the North Island declined from Bs. 4d. last year to Bs. a decrease of 2|d. per train-mile, indicating that train services were in advance of the traffic. The earnings of the South Island lines advanced from Bs. 9jd. to 9s. 2fd., an increase of sjd. per train-mile, indicating that traffic had more than kept pace with the increased train services. The interest on capital earned by the North Island main line and branches receded from £4 19s. 7d. per cent, to £4 17s. sd. per cent., while that earned by the South Island main line and branches advanced from £3 2s. per cent, to £3 Bs. per cent. I am of opinion that the time has arrived when it is desirable for the Railway Department to establish in each of the four principal centres a booking-office from which passengers may purchase, the day or the day before they intend to travel, a ticket for any journey they contemplate taking by railway. I propose also arranging for the collection and delivery of parcels and passengers' luggage at each of the four centres, and for the conveyance of luggage between the ferry steamers and Wellington Railway-stations, also to inaugurate the system of " cash on delivery " parcels. These arrangements will, I have no doubt, be a public convenience.

The accumulated balance to the credit of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund at the 31st March amounted to £264,455, an increase of £30,998 on the previous year. The total income for the year was £102,951, and the amount outgoing was £71,953. Of the latter the sum of £61,783 represented the charge involved in payments to 1,261 beneficiaries, comprising 807 members of the service who have either voluntarily resigned or who have been retired on account of being medically unfit, 179 widows and 275 children dependents of- deceased members of the service who had not retired on superannuation at the time of their death. As indicated in His Excellency the Governor's speech, Mr. E. H. Hiley was selected out of 104 applicants to fill the post of General Manager. Mr. Hiley will shortly arrive in the Dominion and will take up his duties. The thanks of the Dominion are due to the retiring General Manager for his long and faithful services. As promised in last year's Statement a long and exhaustive investigation has been made into the question of shunting. Some valuable information has been received, which is now being gone into by the General Manager and the principal departmental officers. I hope shortly to lay a report on the subject before honourable members and to be able to take such steps as will minimize the danger to which shunters are subject. The visit of the Battleship " New Zealand," though not falling altogether into last year's operations, caused great activity on the railways, and I think that the way in which the vast crowds travelling by rail were handled without a hitch reflects the greatest credit on the railway staff, both officers and men, and the thanks of the Dominion are due to them. I have personally to thank all the staff for their efforts on this occasion and also for their efforts on the occasion of the floods in the South Island. 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:— 31st March, 31st March, T Per Cent of 1895. 1913. increase.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways, Sir,— Head Office, Wellington, 30th August, 1913. I have the honour to report upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended the 31st March, 1913. The capital cost has increased from £30,506,089 to .£31,611,220. The revenue was £3,971,002, against £3,676,509. The expenditure for the year amounted to £2,705,609, against £2,465,896 last year. The rate of interest on the capital was £4 os. 9d., as compared with £3 19s. 7d. for the preceding year. The revenue per train-mile was Bs. 9jd. and the expenditure, ss. llfd., as compared with Bs. 9|-d. and ss. 10|d. respectively last year. The following extensions were opened during the j'ear : — M. oh.

During the year 13,123,879 passengers were carried, yielding a revenue of £1,314,340, and 265,259 season tickets were issued, the revenue derived therefrom amounting to £147,533. There was thus an increase of 1,232,745 ordinary passengers and £128,514 revenue, and 28,30 i! season tickets and £14,244 revenue over' the traffic carried under these heads during the previous year. 72,763 children and teachers and 61,134 adults travelled by school and factory excursions during the year, the revenue derived therefrom amounting to £9,509. 964,695 passengers travelled at holiday excursion fares, yielding a revenue of £271,612. The coaching and goods traffic has been well maintained during the year, and shows increases under all heads with the exception of sheep, pigs, and timber. Increases. Coaching. — Parcels, 129,966; horses, 1,461; carriages, 103; dogs, 1,232. Revenue, £11,875. Goods. —Drays, 285; cattle and calves, 14,049 head; chaff, lime, &c, 21,528 tons; wool, 6,128 tons; firewood, 1,636 tons; grain, 232,343 tons; merchandise, 34,768 tons; minerals, 84,200 tons. Decreases. Goods. —Sheep, 65,638 head; pigs, 11,138 head; timber, 23,353 tons. Several additions and alterations were made to the train services during the year to meet traffic requirements and to give greater facilities to the public. The train-mileage was 9,016,234, an increase of 644,537 miles. The increase on the North Island main line and branches was 499,951 miles, and on the South Island main line and branches 107,376 miles. During the year floods and slips have caused serious delays to traffic, but the train services generally were well maintained. There was no serious train accident during the year, and no passengers were injured as the result of train accidents. Locomotive. Mr. A. L. Beattie, Chief Mechanical Engineer, reports as follows :— The engines, rolling-stock, plant, machinery, and appliances have been maintained in thoroughly efficient working-order, the details of work completed and in hand being as follows : — Locomotives.—On the Ist April, 1912, there were 493 engines in service, and on the 31st March, 1913, there were 513 engines. Twenty new engines were added to stock. Of the new engines added to stock thirteen were built in the Government Railway workshops, and comprised five large tender engines, Class Ba, and eight heavy tank engines. Class Wn; seven Class Ad, 72-ton tender engines, four-cylinder " balanced compound," were completed under the contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames. In the Government Railway workshops to date 110 engines have been built, and twenty-four old locomotives have been rebuilt to modern designs.

D.—2

Six hundred and seventy-seven locomotives passed through the workshops during the year, the details being as follows : —

Included in above are six engines for the Public Works Department and two engines for private railway companies. At the close of the year there were under construction in the Railway workshops thirty-one locomotive engines, comprising one Class Ba tender engine, ten Class X 94-ton tender engines, four-cylinder " balanced-compound " type, and twenty heavy tank engines, Class Wg. The contract entered into last year with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames, to construct ten Class Ad 72-ton tender engines was increased to twenty engines. Of this number there were incomplete on the 31st March, 1913, thirteen engines, so that altogether there were in hand at the close of year forty-four locomotive engines. The new 1 icomotives added, together with boiler-renewals, increased the total tractive power by 341,4341b., equal to 571 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. Sixteen new locomotive-boilers were constructed. The following statement shows the details of boiler-work :—

Forty-three new boilers were under construction at the close of the year, comprising one Class D, three Class F, three Class J, five Class R, one Class Wf, twenty Class Wg, and ten Class X. Carriages. —The car stock on the Ist April, 1912, consisted of 1,212 cars, and the number on the 31st March, 1913, was 1,282 cars. Seventy-seven new bogie cars were built and added to stock, and six old cars were written off and replaced; one old car was converted to a sleepingvan, and is being replaced with a new bogie car. Satisfactory progress has been made with fitting second-class cars on long-distance trains with chair seats, also fitting platform gates, gangways, and additional handrails on all sections. The following table shows the details of car-work during the year :—

One hundred and eight new bogie cars are under construction in Railway workshops.

Brake-vans .—The number of brake-vans on the line on the Ist April, 1912, was 381, and the number on the 31st March, 1913, was 385. Five new bogie brake-vans were built, four being additional stock and one to replace a van written off. The repairs, &c, to brake-vans were as follows : —

Twenty-seven bogie brake-vans are under construction. Wagons. —The wagon stock on the Ist April, 1912, comprised 18,140 vehicles, and on the 31st March, 1913, the number was 19,130. Twenty-two old wagons were written ofi and replaced, twenty wagons were sold to the Public Works Department, and one old wagon was sold to a frozenmeat company, and these are being replaced. One thousand and thirty-two new wagons were built and added to stock. Of this number 1,010 wagons were additional stock, and the balance to replace stock written off; also one old car was converted to a sleeping-van. The carrying-capacity of the wagon stock was increased by 9,734 tons, equal to 655 percent., or an equivalent of 1,622 ordinary wagons. The following table gives particulars of wagon-work during the year : —

One thousand five hundred and eighty-eight new wagons were under construction in Railway workshops at the close of the year, and these comprised 113 bogie and 1,475 four-wheel wagons. Tarpaulins. —The stock of tarpaulins on the Ist April, 1912, was 13,955, and the number ou the 31st March, 1913, was 15,222. One thousand two hundred and sixty-seven new tarpaulins were made and added to stock; 2,374 worn-out tarpaulins were written off-and replaced with a similar number of new tarpaulins. The fallowing table gives details of the work on tarpaulins for the year : —

There were 2,035 new tarpaulins in hand at close of year. Stationary Engines and Cranes. —The repairs and renewals were as follows : —

Axles. —During the year 2,182 car, van, and wagon axles were replaced with modern steel axles; this number does not include new stock. The replacement of old iron axles with modern steel axles is now practically completed. The steel axles increase the carrying-capacity of wagons by 2 tons.

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. The work of equipping the engines and rolling-stock on Whangarei and Gisborne Sections with the Westinghouse brake has been put in hand. Car-lighting. —The oil-gas manufactured at the five separate Pintsch gas works amounted to 9,994,930 cubic feet, costing 2s. 1■ 31 d. per 100 cubic feet. The rise in cost was due to the increased price paid for oil. On sections not provided with Pintsch gas cars are lighted with acetylene gas, and practically all the cars on the isolated sections are now supplied with this system of lighting. Motor-cars, Gulverden-'llanmer. —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 was completed and put into commission during the year. Re-tareing Wagons. —Whenever wagons are in workshops for repairs the tare weight is checked and adjusted before the 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. Sheep-wagons. —The work of fitting grated floors to all the older wagons is now completed. All new live-stock wagons are built with grated floors. These grated floors are found to be of great assistance in carrying live-stock in good condition. Renewals and Replacements. —During the year under review six old cars, one brake-van, twenty-two wagons, and 2,374 worn-out tarpaulins were written off and replaced with six new cars, one new brake-van, twenty-two new wagons, and 2,374 new tarpaulins. In accordance with the practice of the Department the cost of the new cars, brake-van, wagons, and tarpaulins was debited to working-expenses. Seven new bogie cars are in hand (cost debited to working-expenses) for replacing old cars sold, and 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 1911-12 the increase in 1912-13 is 644,537 train-miles, or equal to 77 per cent., and 779,847 engi ue-miles, being equal to 6"9 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 lines, 53 lb. and 56 lb. relaid with 70 lb. steel material _.. .. 83| Branch lines, 40 lb. relaid with second-hand 53 lb., &c, steel material removed from main lines .. .. • • • • • • • • .. 20 Branch lines, 40 lb. relaid with new 55 lb. steel material .. .. .. f Total relaying for the year .. .. .. • • 104J Short supplies of sleepers prevented a greater length being done. Between 125| m. and 126| m., Wanganui district, near Turakina, an improvement of the alignment from minimum 6-cliain to 15-chain curves, preparatory to relaying, has been put in hand as a charge to working-expenses. The work of fitting sharp curves with check-rails to lessen the wear on outer rail has been continued. Sleepers. —23s,37B sleepers were put into the track during the year. Respacing to provide the standard number of sleepers to strengthen the track has been gone on with so far as the supply permitted. Slips and Floods.— Traffic on the North Island Main Trunk was twice interrupted by slips in the Ohakune district, where, in two places, deviations of the line had to be made. In such country there is great liability to interruptions by slips. A heavy storm did some damage to the sea-wall between Kaiwarra and Petone. In the South Island heavy rains were experienced in July and November, 1912, and in March of this year, causing delays to traffic. In the latter month exceptionally heavy floods did considerable damage to the main line and all branches (except the Tapanui, which, was not damaged) in the Inver-

cargill district. The North Rangitata Bridge in Canterbury was also damaged, being blocked for traffic for three days, until repairs were effected. The district staffs concerned met these unusual difficulties in a creditable manner. Ballasting. —Ballast to the amount of about 290,000 cubic yards was used on the track during the year. This is less than the average yearly quantity used during the previous five years. Scarcity of labour accounted for this decrease. A steam navvy is being used for loading ballast in Invercargill district, and a Quertier excavator in the Wellington district. The provision of further mechanical loading plants is under consideration. A second crushing plant is being installed in the quarry at Te Kuiti, and a crushing plant at Mount Albert, Auckland. Bridges, &c. —Bridge structures have been maintained in a safe condition. The renewal of timber superstructures in steel has been continued. Where desirable, the alignment has been improved when rebuilding bridges. New steel-girder bridges over the New North Road, Morningside, and Park Road (Auckland), and new steel viaduct at Manawapou (Wanganui district), are in hand. Fences. —A good deal of work has been done in the way of enclosing the line, about 48J miles of fences having been erected on the Manawatu line alone. Locomotive Water-services. —Improvements have been made at a number of stations. Wharves. —New ferro-concrete wharf at Picton completed. Additions to the Lake Wakatipu wharves have been completed, and a patent slip is being constructed. Heavy repairs to Port Chalmers wharves are in hand. Buildings. —New engine-depots are in course of construction at Newmarket and Linwood (Chris tchurch). The maintenance-works depot at Newmarket is being shifted to Penrose, to make room for the new engine-depot. The removal of maintenance-works depots to Kaiwarra and Addington has been completed. Social halls for the use of employees have been provided at Auckland, Ohakune, and Marton. Bathrooms and other additions have been supplied at a large number of cottages. Albert Bond building at Christchurch, recently purchased by the Department, is being converted to offices for district staffs. Miscellaneous Works. —Additions and improvements were carried out during the year amounting to £26,101, which was charged to working-expenses.

Doubling and- Improvement of Lines. —Dunedin-Mosgiel : A further distance of about three-quarters of a mile to Abbot's Creek has been opened for double-line working. The Chain Hills Tunnel has been pushed on steadily. Bad ground has been met, but indications are now more favourable. There is a length of about 15 chains to complete this tunnel. Maintenance of the new Hutt Road is still in the Department's hands, and is being charged against the construction authority. Grade-improvements. —A sum of £33,031 has been spent during the year on the grade-easements on the North Island Main Trunk line. The improvements between Buckland and Tuakau and at Pukekohe, including new station-yard and station at Pukekohe, have been completed, and the TuakauPokeno easements are now in hand. The earthworks for improvements at the Manawapou (Wanganui district) Viaduct have been finished as far as possible till the viaduct now being erected is completed. Reclamation, Mechanics Bay, Auckland. —£11,089 has been paid for reclamation carried out by the Auckland Harbour Board under agreement with that body. The provision of new stations and station-yards at Wellington and Auckland, and of large additions at Palmerston North, Lyttelton, Christchurch, Timaru, and Invercargill, is becoming a matter of urgency as the traffic is rapidly outgrowing the capacity of the existing accommodation. It is probable that further duplications will be necessary in the near future. • Expenditure. —The cost of maintenance was £765,860, equal to about £270 per mile of railway maintained. In addition a sum of £222,501 was spent on new works and works chargeable to other Government Departments, public bodies, and private parties, making the total expenditure of my branch for the year £988,361. The increase in maintenance working-expenses was mainly caused by' the higher rate of wages paid to the workmen, amounting to over £10 per man.
