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

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting the Kailways Statement for the year ending the 31st March, 1915, I have pleasure in announcing that, notwithstanding the fact that the exceptional circumstances created by the European war prevailed during the greatfl part of the fiscal year, the gross receipts (£4,105,457) were the highest on reeoid* The following table gives a summary of the results : — Year 1915. Year 1914. £ £ Total earnings .. .. .. .. .. 4,105,457 4,043,328 Total expenditure .. .. .. .. 2,920,465 2,880,323 Net profit on working .. .. .. £1,185,002 £1,163,005 The mileage of lines opened for traffic was increased from 2,863 at 31st March, 1914, to 2,955 for the year 1915. The average miles operated during the year under review was 2,917, against an average of 2,861 the previous year. The extensions opened during the year totalled 91 miles 25 chains. The capital cost of lines open for traffic, including plant and steamers on Wakatipu, advanced from £32,355,087 to £34,133,825. The net revenue (£1,185,002) is equal to a return of 3-53 per cent, on the capital invested in the working railways, and 328 per cent, on the capital (£36,133,155) invested in the opened and unopened lines. The gross revenue (£4,105,457), while in excess of the earnings of the previous year, fell short of the estimate by £144,543, but a saving of £109,545 effected in the expenditure brought the net revenue to within £34,998 of the estimate. The gross receipts per train-mile from North Island Main Line and Branches were 96 - 75 d., against 97d. last year, a decline of o'2sd. The South Island Main Line and Branches earned 110 - 5 d., against 109 d. last year, an increase of Tsd. per train-mile. The gross earnings per train-mile from all lines advanced 0'75d., and the expenditure increased by o's4d. per train-mile. The net result was therefore 0 - 21 d. better than achieved last year. The expenditure amounted to £2,920,455, being £109,545 less than the estimated amount. The percentage of expenses to earnings were 7D14, against 71*24 per cent, last year, a decrease in cost of 010 per cent. The sum of £524,391 was expended under the head of Additions to Open Lines in providing for signal interlocking, water services, grade-improvements, new office and station accommodation, Westinghouse brake, car lighting and heating, workshops machinery, and rolling-stock. During the year under review 24 locomotives, 34 carriages, 8 brake-vans, 84 bogie wagons, and 928 four-wheeled wagons were completed and added to the stock, and 48 locomotives, 75 carriages, 28 brake-vans, 102 bogie wagons, and 1,268 fourwheeled wagons were on order on 31st March. This will keep the railway workshops fully employed during the ensuing year.

The accumulated amount standing to the credit of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund on the 31st March was £346,156, an increase of £50,686 over the balance at credit on the 31st March, 1914. The total income for the year was £138,829, and the outgoing £88,143. Of the latter sum, £77,036 represented payments to 916 members of the service retired voluntarily or by reason of being medically unfit, 212 widows and 321 children, dependants on deceased contributors to the fund, who had not retired on superannuation at the time of their death. The income from actual contributions of subscribers amounted to £75,023, while the charges on the fund were £79,936. The total contributions were, therefore, £4,913 short of the liabilities. The receipts are, however, supplemented by the Government subsidy of £25,000 per annum and amounts accruing from interest on funds invested and fines imposed under the Railway Regulations. These amounted last year to £13,795.

In view of the conditions induced by the European war, in which the Empire has been actively engaged for several months, it was deemed imprudent to commit the Dominion to any large expenditure in connection with the prosecution of the important scheme of works outlined in last year's Statement. Operations were, therefore, confined to portions of the general scheme that were in hand before the crisis occurred, the restricted expenditure being tentatively provided for out of the ordinary funds voted for the Department. The fact that a record in railway traffice was created during a year when the adverse conditions alluded to prevailed for two-thirds of the period can only be regarded as a strong indication of the imperative necessity for going ahead with the proposed scheme of works immediately the financial stringency is removed. I find that during the past ten years the train-mileage has increased by 54 per cent. ; the passenger traffic by 59 per cent. ; goods traffic by 51 per cent. ; and, notwithstanding the increase in the tractive power of the locomotives and the greater capacity of the lines resulting from improvements such as grade-easements, deviations, and like works, congestion, of traffic is still severely felt in the busy areas and depots. I am confident that on the conclusion of the war a great impetus will be given to the various industries of the Dominion, and considerable development of its vast natural resources must take place. At the ordinary rate of expansion the traffic would, exceed the capacity of the busier portions of the existing lines within the next five years. If, therefore, the railway system is to be placed in a position to deal effectively with the traffic that will undoubtedly require to be handled in the near future, arrangements must be made, as soon as funds are available, to push on the works with rapidity and complete them at the earliest moment. I estimate that the revenue for the year ending the 31st March, 1916, will be £4,000,000, and the expenditure £2,920,000. lam not including in this estimate the extra percentages levied by Gazette notices of the 16th September, 1915, for war purposes. The railway men have come forward in considerable numbers to serve the Empire in the war, and in many other practical ways have shown their sympathies for those whose lot necessitates the establishment of relief funds for, alleviation of distress. I desire to place on record my appreciation of their loyal and valuable services.

ANNUAL REPORT 01 THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways, Sic, — Head Office, Wellington, 30th September, 1915. I have the honour to report on the working of the New Zealand Railways for the financial year ending 31st March, 1915. The mileage of line open for traffic at the close of the year was 2,955 miles, an increase of 92 miles, which represents extensions opened for traffic during the year. These were, — M. eh. Otiria-Kaikohe . . .. .. . . .. 16 36 Kaihu-Tarawhati .. .. .. .. .. ..2 26 l'ohokura Whangamomona . . .. . . .. . . 6 15 Cass - Arthur's Lass . . .. .. .. . . 14 66 Cronadun-Inangahua .. . . .. .. .. . . 13 ,07 Kaiwaka-Otamatea ..... .. .. .. .. 2 47 ■ Otoko-Matawai .. .. .. .. .. .. 12 58 Big Hill-Beaumont .. .. .. .. .. 5 36 Houipapa Tahakopa .. .. .. .. .. ..17 54 91 25 The capital invested in the lines open for traffic, including the plant and steamers on Lake Wakatipu, was £34,133,825, an increase of £1,778,738 on the figures for the previous year. The gross earnings were £4,105,457, against £4,043,328 for the year 1914. The net revenue amounted to £1,185,002, equal to 3-53 per cent, on the capital invested in the railways open for traffic, and 3-28 per cent, on the total capital (£36,133,155) invested in the opened and unopened lines. The continuation all the year round of the second Auckland-Wellington express trains, the opening of railway-extensions on the North Auckland, Whangarei, Kaihu, and Stratford-Whangamomona lines, and the additions made to the Auckland and Wellington suburban services, resulted in an increase of 56,595 train-miles in the North Island, while the train-mileage in the South Island advanced by 7,557 miles, consequent on the opening of extensions of the West Coast, Catlin's River, and Beaumont Railways, and the running of additional trains on the Waipara and Orepuki lines for a portion of the year. The total train-mileage was 9,383,420, against 9,319,268 for 1914, an Increase of 64,152 miles. Traffic in the Gisborne district was completely disorganized from the 18th to the 26th May as a result of floods, which seriously damaged the permanent-way. The train services on the Stratford-Whangamomona lines were suspended between Pohokura and Whangamomona from the 14th to the I.9th December, as the.result of slips at both ends of the Whangamomona Tunnel. Coaches ran between the two ends of the interrupted line, enabling passengers to complete their journeys. The lines in the Westland district suffered from floods in December and February. The flood on the 14th December resulted in suspension of traffic on the Blackball line on the 14th and 15th of that month. A washout on the Reefton line caused considerable delay to train services, and necessitated the transhipment of passengers. The Otira and State Collieries lines were also damaged. On the 21st December the Blackball line was interrupted a second time, but traffic was resumed on the following day. On the 23rd February traffic on the Otira and State Collieries line was interrupted for some hours, and passengers on the Reefton line had to be transhipped on the 24th February. Slips on the Wairarapa line caused minor interruptions, with consequent delays to trains on the 14th December. Traffic on the Wcstport line was delayed by slips which occurred on the 27th February. The following figures, which show the record of late arrival of the principal trains during the year, indicate that, despite the difficulties experienced from floods, slips, and other unforeseen circumstances, the trains have, as a whole, run well up to time. Average Late Arrival. Mm. Mm. For long-distance passenger-trains .. .. .. 140 against 140 last year. Suburban trains .. .. .. .. • .. 0-36 ~ 0-48 ~ Long-distance mixed trains .. .. .. 2-09 ~ 2-28 „ The number of ordinary passengers carried during the year was 13,565,772, an increase of 209,879 on the previous year's business. Season tickets issued number 302,912, an increase of 15,875. Workmen's twelve-trip tickets numbered 63,954 ; workers' suburban weekly tickets 172,656 ; an increase of 5,587 twelve-trip and 9,357 workers' weekly suburban over the preceding year. Holiday excursion tickets totalled 926,615, an increase of 111,348 on the previous year's traffic. Schools, factories, and friendly societies' excursions decreased by 84,970, the total issue for 1915 being 104,017, against 188,987 for the year 1914. The decrease under this head is mainly due to the visit of the battleship H.M.S. " New Zealand " in 1913, and the Auckland Exhibition, in connection with both of which events special school-excursion trips were arranged. A number of the schools, moreover, decided to forego their excursions this year and donate the funds to the Belgium Relief Fund. The total traffic under the head of " Coaching," which includes parcels, horses, carriages, and dogs, was 1,485,977, an increase of 14,247 on the total for last year.

The total goods tonnage was 6,075,282, an increase of 413,942 tons over the previous year. Increases are as under : — Cattle .. .. .. .. .. 59,928 head; Sheep .. .. .. .. .. 62,811 head; Figs .. .. .. .. .. 17,382 head; Wool .. .. .. .. .. 6,293 tons; Firewood .. .. .. .. .. 2,440 tons; Grain .. .. .. .. .. 52,957 tons; Minerals .. .. .. 436,414 tons; and decreases as follows :— Lime, chaff, &c. .. .. .. .. 17,312 tons; Timber .. .. .. .. .. 54,895 tons; Merchandise.. .. .. .. .. 11,955 tons. The live-stock traffic of last year was abnormal as the result of the labour-conditions prevailing in 1913. The increase in live-stock traffic for the year just ended must therefore be regarded as satisfactory, especially in view of the unusual [and disadvantageous conditions prevailing during two-thirds of the year as a result of the European war. Owing to the inability of the shipping available to deal with the frozen-meat export traffic, the freezing-works became blocked, and were forced to wholly or partially close down, seriously retarding the movement of fat stock for slaughter. The effect was, however, counteracted to a large extent by. a considerable movement of shcop from drought-stricken areas for depasturing elsewhere. The increase in goods traffic is confined mainly to minerals —principally native coal. This business showed a drop of 209,000 tons in 1914 as the outcome of labour troubles, which seriously restricted the output from the Westport and Westland coal-mines. During the year just ended there was an extraordinary demand for bunker coal for naval purposes, and the output from the Westport coal-mines increased by 140,000 tons, and from the Westland coal-mines 190,000 tons, over the output of the previous year. The increase in grain traffic is mainly in the Canterbury District, where the exceptionally high prices ruling in consequence of the war has induced a free movement of grain traffic, and resulted in the releasing by owners of considerable quantities of grain that had been held in stock from the last year. The decrease in chaff, lime, &c, is largely due to the effect of the dry season on the oat crop, and also to the fact that the flax-milling industry has been affected considerably by the outbreak of the war. There has been a general falling-off in the timber traffic in all districts. To|some extent this is due to a depletion of milling-areas in close proximity to the railway, but there has in addition been a diminution in the output of a large number of mills consequent on the restriction in the demand for building-timber. This has had a material effect on the export trade and the quantity of timber shipped to ports on the East Coast for railing inland. The average number of men employed on the railway during the year was 14,614, against 14,176 for the year ending the 31st March, 1914. Ten members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division ; 403 members of the permanent staff resigned; 99-retired on superannuation; 32 died; 116 were dismissed; and 1,283 engaged. The amount paid under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act during the year in respect to members who sustained injuries in the execution of their duty was £13,996. The additions made to the rolling-stock during the year comprised 24 new engines, 34 bogie cars, 8 bogie brake-vans, 1,012 wagons. Sixteen of the new engines—viz., ten heavy tank, Class Ww, six four-cylinder balanced-compound tender engines, Class X, 94 tons —were built in the Government railway workshops ; and eight engines —viz., six four-cylinder balanced-compound 72-ton tender engines, Class An, and two large simple superheated tender engines, Class Bb —were completed under contract by Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), Thames. Two cars damaged in collision, two vans damaged, one worn out and one sold, and thirty-one wagons worn out and damaged, thirteen wagons sold last year and two sold this year, have been replaced by an equal number of new cars, vans, and wagons respectively, all of which have been paid for out of revenue. 1,310 worn-out and condemned tarpaulins were also written off and replaced with new tarpaulins, charged against revenue. During the year 140 modern steel axles were placed under cars, vans, and wagons in substitution of old iron, axles. By this means the carrying-capacity of each wagon is increased by 2 tons, and greater stability given to the vehicle. The additional twenty-four locomotives taken in conjunction with boiler-renewals of locomotives in service has increased the tractive power by 7-33 per cent. The new wagons added to the rolling-stock give an increased capacity of 9,889 tons, equivalent to an addition of 1,648 ordinary 6-ton wagons, or 5-93 per cent, in truck capacity. The rolling-stock actually on order and under construction on the 31st March comprised 58 locomotives of heavy type—viz., 10 Aa superheated tender engines, 10 Ab tender engines, 18 Bb simple superheated tender engines, and 20 Ww heavy tank engines—77 carriages, 30 bogie brake-vans, 104 bogie and 1,286 four-wheeled wagons. Good progress has been made in respect to the equipment of the rolling-stock on the Whangarei Section with the Westinghouse brake, and it is anticipated the work will be completed at an early date. Instructions have also been given for fitting the Westinghouse brake to the rolling-stock on the Westland Section.

The motor-oars in use on the Culverden-llanmer run continued to do good service. The Westinghouse petrol electric car imported at the close of the preceding year has been placed in commission and utilized in running an experimental motor service between Wellington and Johnsonville, where it has provided a public convenience. The car is not, however, sufficiently powerful to haul a trailer on the heavy gradient of 1 in 40, and for that reason steam traction has to be resorted to whenever the passenger traffic exceeds one-car capacity. A new car of a more powerful type already on order will shortly arrive, and be placed on the Wellington-johnsonville run, liberating the Westinghouse car for service in a locality where easier grades predominate. The whole of the permanent-way and structures have been maintained in a satisfactory condition. During the year 95| miles *of track have been relaid, comprising 70j miles of main and branch lines, with 70 lb. material; fourteen miles of branch line with 55 lb. material in substitution for 40 lb. rails; 11J miles of branch line with 531b. and 561b. steel material removed from main lines and placed in branches in place of 40 lb. material. Owing to the extraordinary conditions prevailing the rate of relaying, although slightly below the standard of 100 miles per annum, is regarded as being satisfactory. During the year 228,644 sleepers and 371,385 cubic yards of ballast were used on the track. The policy of respacing sleepers to strengthen the track has been continued, the cost being charged against revenue. The strengthening of bridges on the main line with a view to enabling the heaviest locomotives to be run without restriction is now being undertaken, and the construction of bridges in steel instead of timber is being carried out wherever practicable. A large number of works having for their object the provision of greater facilities to meet the public requirements and increase efficiency in operating the railways have been completed during the year. Other similar works were in hand on the 31st March. These include additions and improvements to water-services, workshops, engine-depots, goods-sheds, enlargement of station-yards, and increasing the accommodation generally. The interlocking of points and signals has been brought into operation at Morningside, Mount Albert, Henderson, Sawyer's Bay, Ravensbour.no, and service siding at 26 m. 14 eh., while additions to and rearrangement of the system have been made at Parnell Signal-box, Newmarket, Otahuhu, Te Kuiti, Wingatui, and Mosgiol. Alterations have also been carried out at Mount Albert, Morningside, Aramoho, Thor.ndon, and Mosgiel. Fourteen flag stations and sidings have been locked with the tablet system. Thirty-five stations have been fitted with fixed semaphore signals. Of the total number of officered stations, 280 are equipped with fixed signals, 87 are interlocked, and 126 have yet to be dealt with. Special switch locks, which prevent signals from being lowered unless the facing points to which the signal applies are unlocked, have been fitted to sixty-four stations during the year —viz. three in the North Island, and sixty-one in the South Island. One hundred and" twenty-eight of the North Island stations are now equipped with this appliance. The electric-tablet system was installed and brought into operation between Morrinsville and Thames and at Avondale Brick Company's siding, Paerata service siding, Taratahi, Mangaroa, and Heretaunga. The tablet system is now operating at 362 stations, covering 1,583|- miles of single line. Forty-four miles of line were equipped with lock and block. The railway telegraph and telephone facilities have been added to materially during the year, and at the 3.lst March there were in use 276 Morse sets, 1,453 telephones, 230 electric bells, 2,529 miles of poles, and 6,727 miles of wire. Provision for the further extension of signalling arrangements and appliances, tablet system, interlocking, telegraph, and telephone facilities has been made, and the installation is going on uninterruptedly throughout the railway system. Electric light has been installed at Auckland Goods-yard, Te Kuiti, Ravensbourne, Wingatui, Mosgiel, and additional lighting has been provided at Wellington and Petone Workshops. Electric cranes have been installed at Invercargill and in the Stores yard, Wellington. Electrical work connected with the installation of additional motors for driving machinery at Hillside, Addington, and Petone has been carried out. Revenue. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £4,105,457, and exceeded the earnings of the previous year by £62,129. But for the unpropitious circumstances prevailing for eight months of the financial year, consequent on the war into which the Empire has been plunged, the estimated revenue of £4,250,000 would undoubtedly have been reached and probably exceeded. The sources from which revenue was derived were, — 1915. 1914. Increase. Decrease. £ £ £ £ Passengers 1,482,383 1,450,480 31,903 Parcels, luggage, and mails .. 227,521 236,761 .. 9,240 Goods.. .. .. .. 2,319,045 2,283,149 35,896 Rents and commissions .. .. 76,508 72,938 3,570 4,105,457 4,043,328 71,369 9,240 Notwithstanding the fact that the gross receipts fell short of the estimate by £144,543, the net revenue —£1,185,002 —exceeded that of the preceding year by £21,997, and was only £34,998 below the estimate owing to a saving of £109,545 in the estimated expenditure. In the North Island the receipts per train-mile amounted to 96-75 d., against 97d. for the preceding year. The net revenue per train-mile amounted to 28-14 d., against 28-84 d. last year. This represents a decline of 0-70 d. per train-mile. The gross receipts per train-mile in the South Island advanced from 109-od. last year to 110-50 d. for 1915, giving a net return of 28-69 d., a decline of 0-15 d. on the figures for last year. For all lines the gross earnings per train-mile advanced from 104-od. to 104-75 d., an increase

D.—2

VII

of 0-75 d. per train-mile. The net earnings per train-mile were 30-21 d., against 30-od. for last year, an advance of 0-21 d. per train-mile in the net earnings for the year. This can be considered as satisfactory, having regard to the additional services run to meet the public convenience. The gross earnings per average mile of railway declined by £6 per mile, but the workingexpenses decreased by a similar amount, leaving the net earnings per average mile open at £408, the same as for last year. The return from the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £6,851, an increase of £60 on the earnings for the previous year. Arrangements are in hand for placing this service under closer supervision, which I am convinced will lead, to more satisfactory financial results. The net return , £1,185,002, was equal to 3-53 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for traffic, and 3-28 per cent on the capital invested in the open and. unopened lines (£36,133,155). Expenditure. The working expenditure for the year amounted to £2,920,455, an increase of £40,132 on the year 1914, but a saving of £109,545 on the estimated expenditure, which was £3,030,000. The ratio of expenditure to earnings was 71-14 per cent., a decrease of 0-10 per cent, as compared with the figures for the previous year. Expenditure.

In the Locomotive Branch the increased expenditure is due to the extension of train services, working of new lines, and to the material advance that has taken place in the cost of fuel, stores, wages, and repairs. The advance in the Head and Departmental Office expenditure resulted mainly from increase in salaries under the Classification Act. In the Maintenance Branch the expenditure has been curtailed in respect to works usually debited to working-expenses, and a saving has been effected through the curtailment of mileage relaid. The expenditure per mile of railway, £254, against £267 last year, represents a decrease of £13 per mile in the cost of maintenance. A considerable number of works of miscellaneous character and representing additions and improvements to lines, structures, and rollingstock, aggregating £14,035, which could fairly have been charged against capital, have been carried out during the year and debited to working-expenses. £217,006 was spent in the Maintenance Branch on works charged to capital account under the heading of " Additions to open lines." These comprise extension of signalling and interlocking, block working, station yards and sidings, additional watorservices, houses for staff, purchase of land, erection of new station buildings, goods-sheds, engine-sheds, social halls, wharf-extensions, reclamation, overbridges, tunnel-duplication, and grade-improvements. In the Locomotive Branch £307,385 was spent in the provision of additional, rolling-stock, tarpaulins, pneumatic coaling-cranes, fitting cars and vans with steam heating-gear, purchase of petrol electric car, fitting Westinghouse brake and workshops machinery. The total expenditure under " Additions to open lines " was £524,391. The rolling-stock in respect to which, the charges were incurred comprised 22 locomotives, 35 carriages, 5 brake-vans, 84 bogie wagons, 882 four-wheeled wagons, completed on 31st March, 1915 ; and 48 locomotives, 75 cars, 28 brake-vans, 102 bogie wagons, and 1,268 four-wheeled wagons in hand but incomplete on that date. Duplications. The double line between Dunedin and Mosgiel was brought into operation on the Ist June, 1914Th c Parnell new double tunnel was completed on the sth March ; one line of rails was laid and brought into use on the 28th March. The completion of this work will materially assist traffic operations in busy seasons, and the line through the old tunnel will give additional relief during periods when traffic is congested. The loads of north-bound trains from Mercer to Auckland have been materially increased as the result of the grade-easements already completed up to the end of the year. When the deviation of the line from Pacrata Station northwards, a distance of 3 miles 65 chains, which was in hand on the 31st March, has been completed, the grade against south-bound trains will be reduced from 1 in 40 to 1 in 100. This will enable south-bound trains to take considerably heavier loads, ensuring further economy in operating. Deviation and grade-easement at Kakariki is in hand. On the Picton Section grade-easements between Koromiko and Tuamarina have been completed with beneficial effects on the working. The expenditure incurred during the year in connection with grade-improvements north of Mercer was £28,828. Reclamation at Auckland. Considerable progress has been made with the Mechanics Bay reclamation, which has been carried out by the Auckland Harbour Board in conformity with an agreement with the Department. The expenditure, including the sum involved in the purchase of land, was £37,999. Arrangements have been

made for the construction of the new 100 ft. road. At the present rate of progression the reclamation of Mechanics and St. George's Bays will be completed during the year 1917. This reclamation constitutes the first step in connection with the Auckland new station-yard. Staff Organization. The proposals outlined in my special report of the Ist August, 1914, in respect to the appointment of Assistant Traffic Managers and Commercial Agent in the Traffic Branch have been carried into effect, and the new allocation of duties consequent thereon have been arranged, with satisfactory results. The benefits accruing from the alterations are already apparent, and will become more so as the officers concerned gain experience in their new duties. The appointment of Commercial Agent has been particularly beneficial to the Department by reason of the facility it affords for getting personally into touch with our customers, and inquiring on the spot into many matters that form the subject of complaint, the satisfactory settlement of which would be tedious and often impracticable if correspondence was solely relied upon. Signal Engineer's Branch. —Owing to the highly technical character of the work undertaken in the Signalling Department, and the necessity for obtaining in the first instance an officer who has had a wide and varied experience in connection with the supervision, laying-out, erecting, and installing signals and interlocking appliances, as well as a practical knowledge of mechanical, electrical, electro-pneumatic systems, block, and telegraphs and telephones, the appointment of Assistant Signal and Interlocking Engineer has not yet been made. Inquiries have been made throughout Australasia, and the replies indicate the improbability of obtaining a suitable man in any of the States. Applications have been invited in the United Kingdom, and the result is now awaited. Information already received points to the fact that the prospects ahead of qualified men in their present spheres are so good that they are disinclined to accept offers abroad, while the attention that is being devoted to signalling-improvements on many important railway-systems has created a demand, which is in excess of the supply of qualified men available at the moment. Locomotive Branch. —An Office Engineer has now been appointed, and the office organized to fit the altered conditions. General. —A commission of three officers has been appointed for the purpose of investigating the work and conditions at the various stations with a view to a reclassification. Owing, however, to the inroads made into the Railway staff as a result of members enlisting for the front it became imperatively necessary for members of the Commission to resume their ordinary railway duties temporarily before they had finished their investigations. Arrangements will, however, be made for the resumption of the special duty at the earliest possible moment, as I am desirous of dealing comprehensively and finally with the subject at the earliest possible date. The Committee has been specially directed to note carefully the stations which in their opinion would be suitable to members of the Second Division. Advertising. The advertising on railway premises has been taken over by the Department. An Advertising Branch has been established, and suitable arrangements made for securing renewal of many advertising contracts previously in force, conserving the interests of clients by seeing that advertisements are promptly erected and properly maintained. The general object aimed at is the improvement of the appearance of stations by a standardization of advertisements, and the display, as far as possible, of specially attractive and artistically designed matter. The number of advertisements will also be limited, and their display restricted to certain positions. The display of departmental notices has also received attention, and arrangements have been made to ensure uniformity throughout the system. The net result will be the enhancement of the value of Railway premises as advertising media. Town" Ticket-offices. Good results have followed the opening of a town ticket-office in Wellington, the office being extensively patronised for booking, inquiries, &c, with a consequent desirable relief of the bookingoffice at the stations. Inquiries have been made with a view to obtaining suitable offices in other centres. Such sites as have, up to the present, been brought under the notice of the Department have not been suitable for our requirements, and as the prevailing conditions are such as to render it inadvisable to incur additional expenditure at the present juncture it has been decided to defer action in respect to other centres meantime. Train Services. After carefully reviewing the time-table arrangements a number of important alterations were made and brought into operation on the Ist November last. These included the acceleration of through passenger-trains, thus materially reducing the journey-time between Wellington, Auckland, Napier, and New Plymouth. The arrangements have worked satisfactorily. Further improvements will probably be made in the long-distance services in the near future. One of the greatest difficulties that the Department has to contend with in connection with acceleration of train services is the persistent demands that are made for increasing the number of stops. Frequent stops are, of course, incompatible with a faster service. Construction of New Lines. During the year just' ended a number of lines have been handed over to the Working Railways Department, and a considerable programme for new lines has also been approved without the Working Railways Department —which must for all time be most vitally interested and concerned —being afforded an opportunity to furnish an estimate showing the probable volume of traffic, cost of working, and to what extent the proposed lines will ultimately show a profit or loss. In view of the importance of the subject, I deem it desirable to repeat in extenso the following recommendation made in my special report, D.-2b, of the Ist August, 1914, and urge that effect be given thereto : — " The arrangements under which new railways are authorized and built in the Dominion are, I would respectfully suggest, capable of considerable improvement. At the present time a new line is undertaken without any consultation with the Railway Department, and in consequence the only

!).—2

official estimate available before the country is committed to additional expenditure is the Public Works Engineer's estimate of the cost of construction. The Department which will ultimately take over and work the new railway is not consulted as to the route, grades, and alignment nor are the plans submitted to it before the new line is commenced. No estimate is obtained from the Railway Department as to the cost of building the additional rolling-stock required. No estimate is made of the annual cost in the shape of working-expenses, and no figures are prepared by the Railway Department as to the probable revenue from the proposed line, therefore no reliable calculation can be made as to whether the net revenue will represent a profit, or a loss. " I show below the form of statement which I suggest should be prepared in future before now lines are authorized. The statement is similar to that submitted to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railways in Victoria. The procedure in that State is worthy of consideration. Proposals for new lines are submitted to a Parliamentary Standing Committee of Railways, which obtains from the Engineer full reports as to the routes proposed, the Working Railways Department submitting estimates as to the probable traffic, working-expenses, and net revenue. The Committee, after consideration of tho figures submitted, makes a recommendation to Parliament, that body finally determining whether the railways shall be built or not. The Railway Committee is constituted on non-party lines. " The practice in New Zealand is to hand new railways over to the Working Railways Department entirely bare of rolling-stock, the expense for providing which has to come out of the annual grant of " Additions to open lines," which has often been inadequate for the purpose. This has contributed in no small degree to the shortage of rolling stock now prevailing. " I believe I am correct in stating that there are over twenty new railways in course of construction at the present time, and I submit that this is not an economical method of procedure. It must be obvious that if the work of construction was concentrated upon, say, five of these railways, the cost of supervision would be lower and the speed at which the railways would, be finished and become traffic-bearing and revenue-earning would bo at least four times as rapid. Over twenty uncompleted and unremunerative railways are a serious handicap to a comparatively small undertaking. The Working Railways Department is vitally interested in economical construction, because the expenditure ultimately becomes a portion of the capital upon which interest has to be earned- " New Zealand Railways. — -Report on Proposed Railway.

Railway Improvements. The European War, which commenced after my special report of last year was drafted, has rendered it necessary to proceed much more slowly than was originally proposed in carrying out the work to be charged to loan. The programme has been recast to meet the altered circumstances, and a number of works forming part of the major scheme have been deferred, or in the meantime been charged against the ordinary vote for " Additions to open lines." This arrangement is, however, a tentative expedient the result of abnormal financial conditions created by the war. The experience of the past twelve months has confirmed the conclusions I had formed previously as to the necessity of undertaking at the earliest possible opportunity the improvements advocated in my special report of last year. It is evident that the programme of extensive works alluded to cannot be undertaken during the existing financial stringency, but no review of the present conditions and future requirements would be complete without a clear indication of the imperative necessity that exists for providing the additional accommodation in the near future. Traffic on the Main Trunk lines and the suburban lines in the neighbourhood of the principal cities is already very congested with the existing traffic, and there is every indication of great expansion taking place. It will be impossible to deal efficiently, expeditiously, and economically with the natural growth of the railway business with the present accommodation. It was estimated that the larger works enumerated in last year's schedule would take five years to complete. The date of commencement of the new works is now uncertain, yet, before five years have elapsed, the traffic, under normal conditions, will have attained a magnitude that will compel the provision of additional means of handling. The works in question were dealt with in detail in last year's special report, but briefly may be summarized as under :— Complete reorganization of the station and yard accommodation at Auckland, Wellington, Palmerston North, Hastings, Lyttelton, Christchurch, Addington, and Timaru, where the operations of the Department are greatly hampered owing to the obsolete and insufficient accommodation now provided. Grade-easement, deviations, and duplication of lines where train services are greatly congested and the maximum limits of existing capacity have almost been reached. Bridge-strengthening, completion, of signalling and interlocking on main systems, installation of alarms at level crossings, and erection of up-to-date workshops for the manufacture of locomotives and other rolling-stock. As far as the Railway Improvements Authorization Loan is concerned, no moneys are being expended except upon works already in progress or purposes to which the Department is already pledged. No new work that does not come within the above category has been commenced under the loan proposal. At Auckland the Mechanics Bay reclamation, already half-finished, must be completed, whilst the 1 mioval of the engine-shed to allow of improvements to roads, &c, is being carried out in fulfilment of an undertaking to the Harbour Board. A series of grade-easements in progress before the war cannot be abandoned without serious waste. Certain improvements in signalling are regarded as urgent, otherwise the new works referred to above andjncluding the loan have been deferred. Railway Battalions. The Railway battalions organized under the defence scheme in 1911 have already proved their utility. Under instructions of the General Officer Commanding Defence Forces the battalions were mobilized and utilized in protecting the railway-line for a period of nearly one month after the outbreak of the war. Every tunnel and bridge connected with the New Zealand system was guarded day and night by members of the Railway Battalions. A Railway contingent of 258 men and officers was also sent to Samoa with the Advance Expeditionary Force. These men represented every company of Railway Engineers, and the whole of them reached Wellington for embarkation, fully uniformed, armed, and equipped, within forty-eight hours from the time the order was given for them to be called up. Instructional camps for officers and non-commissioned officers have been held in both the North and South Island. They were well attended, and the training received has proved of considerable value to officers concerned. The Railway Department has provided miniature rifle-ranges at Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, and Dunedin in order to encourage rifle shooting and the defence movement among the staff. War Servicks. Railway men have by no means been backward in showing their loyalty in the crisis that has overtaken the Empire. A large number of members of all grades of the service, embracing members of the Railway battalions and civilians, have enlisted and gone abroad with New Zealand Expeditionary Forces to uphold the integrity of the Empire; while the men employed in the railway workshops at Petone and Addington rendered valuable assistance to the cause by the enerpy and ability displayed in construction in record time of ammunition-carts, limbers, and other vehicles for the New Zealand Forces at the front. Many letters have also been received from other members of the staff intimating their willingness to forego leave and in other ways to assist the Department to tide over the temporary difficulties of working with depleted staff, and I have no doubt should this difficulty become acute the service as a whole would most loyally co-operate by all means in their power so that the Department could give to the public an adequate service for carrying on the

D.—2

business of the Dominion. The names of those who answered the Empire's call and those who have given up their lives or been wounded in the cause of the Empire are included in the roll-of-honour list which is appended hereto. Relief Funds. Iho members of the service have enthusiastically and most generously supported various funds having for their object the relief of the Belgians or the sick and wounded New Zealand soldiers. Entertainments have been promoted at various centres with good results, while in some districts members of the Railway service are regularly subscribing a fixed sum monthly for the alleviation of the distress arising out of the war.

m MAINTENANCE. Mr. J. Burnett, Chief Engineer, reports as follows: — Permanent-way. —The track has been maintained in good condition. Relaying as follows has been done during the financial year : — Miles. Main and branch lines, 53-56 lb. relaid with 701b. material ... . . 70 1 Branch lines, 40 Ib. relaid with new 55 Ib. steel material ... ... 14 Branch lines, 40 lb. relaid with second-hand 53 lb. and 56 lb. steel material removed from main lines ... ... ... ... ... 114 Total relaying for the year ... ... ... ... 951 This is the smallest mileage relaid since 1904-5. It is most desirable that the rate of relaying be kept up to at least 100 miles per annum. All labour and material in connection with relaying is charged to working-expenses. Sleepers. —22B,644 sleepers were put into the track during the year. Good supplies of sleepers are available. Respacing to strengthen the track has been continued. Slips and Floods. —On the Gisborne Section floods caused interruption of traffic for some days and considerable damage to the line. Floods in the Westland District caused a large washout on the Blackball line, and necessitated the provision of protective works in several places. Considerable quantities of stone have been quarried and placed in river protective works on the Midland line. A large amount of work in lightening slopes and strengthening banks has been carried out on the Otago Central Railway. Ballasting. —37l,B3s cubic yards of ballast has been used on the track during the year. At Te Kuiti quarry a second stone-crusher, with necessary siding and other works, has been installed. At Mount Egmont pit, where labour has been difficult to obtain, a mechanical ballast-loader has been erected, and is giving satisfaction. The Quertier excavator has also been used. Additional plant is being obtained to enable ballasting to be kept up to date. About 10,000 cubic yards of spoil and sand has been deposited and track lifted on the Rukuhia Swamp. Bridges, (fee.—Bridge structures have been maintained in a safe condition. Renewal of timber superstructures in steel has been continued. Painting iron and steel bridges has been attended to. The strengthening of main-line bridges to enable the heaviest engines to run is now in hand. It will be necessary in the near future to rebuild several long timber bridges. The use of steel instead of timber is being continually increased. Water-services. —Additional water-storage and other improvements to water-services have been provided. Wharves. —Port Chalmers : Extensive repairs to Export Wharf in hand. Queenstown : Slipway nearly completed. Westport : Staiths being demolished. Picton : Old wharf taken down. Buildings. —Newmarket : Considerable improvements and additions to workshops have been carried out. Linwood : Engine-depot well advanced. An electric traverser for moving engines is being installed. Invercargill: New goods-shed, with overhead electric cranes, and yardextension finished; new maintenance workshops completed, and machinery now being erected. Goods-sheds provided and station accommodation enlarged at several stations. A number of houses for employees have been built, and the work of enlarging and improving house accommodation has been continued. Additions to Open Lines. —.£2l7,oo6 was spent on these works and charged to Capital Account, the principal items being the following : Signalling, interlocking, block-working, &c.; additions to station buildings, yards, and sidings at Hamilton (completion), Hastings (completion), Newmarket, Otahuhu (completion), Avondale (part), Picton (completion), Invercargill, Penrose (com-

Miscellaneous Works. —Additions and improvements were carried out during the year amounting to £9,562, which was charged to working-expenses. The principal works were : Additions and improvements, Papatoetoe (completion), Christchurch (completion), Kai Iwi, Whangarata, Puha, Kaituna; siding additions and alterations, Chertsey, Porewa; additions to houses, Papatawa, Kai Iwi, Kaipara Flats, Porirua, Mount Albert (part); hot-water services at houses, Ohakune, Taihape, Rangataua; water-supply to houses, Taihape; engine-shed additions, Taihape, Arthur's Pass; new goods-sheds, Riversdale, Tariki; additions to goods-sheds, Newmarket (part); fire-prevention at goods-sheds, and engine-depot, Dunedin (completion); new stockyards, Arthur's Pass; additions to water-services, Duntroon, Otahuhu (part), Kai Iwi, Paekakariki, Papakura, Kohatu (part), Belgrove (part), Waiouru, Waipukurau, Frankton, Upper Hutt, Brightwater, Waipuku; water-service to carriage-washing sidings, Auckland; drainage to cottages, Frankton; sanitary improvements, Taihape (part); latrines, Mangaroa; connecting W.C. at Stationery-store, Wellington, with city sewer; veranda and platform extensions, Sheffield, Matamata, Kaukapakapa Goods-shed; platform., &c, at Egmont Box Company's Siding, Winiata; lighting stations, Reefton (electric light), Taihape (electric light) (part), Paekakariki engine-depot (gas), Papatoetoe (gas) • additional lighting, Waipukurau, Masterton (gas); loading-accommodation, Cliff Road, Evansdale, Rotomanu, Seddon; rifle range, Auckland, and improvements to rifle ranges, Wellington and Auckland; deviation of line at Bonny Glen (completion); alterations to barriers, Trentham; protecting skylights with wire netting, Addington shops; store for 1.P.W., Taihape; office for loco, foreman, Cross Creek; removal of house from Christchurch to Waipara; weighing-pit and storeroom, Hillside Workshops; additional loco, accommodation, Gisborne; purchase of land, Dargaville, Willowbridge, Templeton; level crossing, Morrinsville. Doubling and Improvement of Lines. —Dunedin-Mosgiel : This work is practically completed. Double-line working through from Dunedin to Mosgiel was brought into operation on the Ist June, 1914. Grade improvements, North Island Main Trunk line: £28,728 was spent during the year. The loads of north-bound trains, from Mercer are largely increased. A very small amount of work will complete the improvements between Paerata and Mercer. Ihe deviation from Paerata Station northwards to 24f in., reducing the grade against southbound trains from. 1 in 40 to 1 in 100, will be completed during the year 1915-16. The deviation and grade-easement at Kakariki has been put in hand. Grade-easements at Koromiko and Tuamarina-Picton line have been completed. Parnell Tunnel duplication : The tunnel was completed on the sth March, 1915 ; one track laid and in use on the 28th March, 1915. The second line is now being laid. The line through the old tunnel will give relief in times of very heavy traffic. Mechanics Bay Reclamation. —This work has been continued by the Auckland Harbour Board under agreement with the Department, and will be finished during the coming, financial year. Expenditure for the year, including purchase of land, £37,999. Arrangements have been made for the construction of the new 100 ft. road.

St. George's Bay Reclamation. —This work, being the first step towards the Auckland Stationyard works, is now being put in hand for the Department by the Auckland Harbour Board. Expenditure. —The expenditure of the Maintenance Branch for the year was as follows : Maintenance, charged to working-expenses, £738,550 = £253 per mile of railway maintained; other expenditure, charged to capital, other Government Departments, and public and private parties, £255,811 : making a total of £994,361. The cost of maintenance per mile of railway maintained is much lower than in any of the preceding three years. This is due to curtailment of expenditure on works of improvement debited to working-expenses, and to the smaller mileage relaid. The rate must be expected to increase. Mileage. —Mileage open for traffic on the 31st March, 1915, 2,954 miles 41 chains; opened during the year, 91 miles 25 chains. Land and Leases. —Number of leases registered during the year, 559; annual rental, £7,197. Leases current at 31st March, 1915, 4,947; annual rental, £38,185. Private-siding agreements registered during the year, 67; annual rental, £1,175. Private-siding agreements current at 31st March, 1915, 379; annual rental, £8,250. Proclamations taking or giving up land, 53. Total amount of compensation paid during the year for land, £19,696. Staff. —Maintenance Branch working staff, 4,080 men; office staff, 137 : total, 4,217. Signal and Electrical. Fixed Signals at Officered Stations. During the past year thirty-five stations have been fitted with fixed semaphore signals —viz., Wellsford, Wharepapa, Matamata, Hinuera, Tirau, Arahiwi, Mamaku, Tarukenga, Awatoto, Whakatu, Mangatainoka, Mangamaire, Hukaimi, Mangamahoe, Mangaroa, Pitcaithly's, Paremata, Matawai, Nelson Port, Nelson, Wakefield, Richmond, Belgrove, Kohatu, Sergeant's Hill, Dunollie, Moana, Mina, Waitaki Bridge, Hindon, Pukerangi, Waipiata, Balfour, Fairfax, and Orepuki. Total number of officered stations (including tablet stations), 493; equipped with fixed signals, 280; interlocked, 87; unequipped, 126. Interlocking of Points and Signals. The electric pneumatic installation at Dunedin has worked satisfactorily during the past year. The following places have been signalled and interlocked : Morningside, Mount Albert, service siding at 26 m. 14 eh., Henderson, Sawyer's Bay, and Ravensbourne. The interlocking has been added to and rearranged at Parnell signal-box, Newmarket, Otahuhu, Te Kuiti, Wingatui, and Mosgiel, and alterations have been carried out at Mount Albert, Morningside, Aramoho signal-box, Thorndon, and Mosgiel signal-box. The following sidings and flag stations have been interlocked with the tablet : Winstone's siding; Gaol siding and Public Works Department's siding, Mount Eden; service siding near Paerata; Messrs. Joughin and Hume's siding, W T aihi Branch; Hawke's Bay Farmers' Meat Company's siding, Whakatu; Messrs. William Cook and Union Timber Company's siding near Palmerston North; Terrace End local end ballast-sidings; Taonui Station; Makino Road Station; Eastown Workshops siding; Bassett's Siding, Wanganui; Awapuni Station; Manawatu Ballast-pit siding near Longburn; Makerua Station; sand and quarry sidings, Paekakariki; and Khandallah Station. Ihree additional stations in the North Island and sixty-one stations in the South Island were fitted during the year with special switch locks interlocking the facing-points with home signals. The interlocking at Waikumete, New Lynn, Avondale, Khandallah, and Lower Port, Chalmers is now in hand. Total stations now interlocked, 87; tramway crossings interlocked, 6; intermediate sidings interlocked with tablet, 43. Expenditure for the year was —New works, £20,486 Bs. 5d.; maintenance, £9,517 7s. 2d. Block Working (Electric Tablet). During the year fifty-four tablet instruments and forty-four miles of line have been fitted and brought into operation, embracing the following sections: Morrinsville—Thames; also, new stations have been installed as follows: Avondale Brick Company's siding, Paerata service siding, Taratahi, Mangaroa, and Heretauuga. Total mileage now equipped with tablet apparatus, 1,583|- miles, single line. Electric tablet instruments now in use, 874, at 362 stations. Automatic tablet-exchanging apparatus has been installed at seventeen additional stations. The total now in use is 330. Lock and Block. The electric lock-and-block system for double-line working has worked satisfactorily. Sections, Newmarket - Parnell Tunnel, f of ,a mile, and Abbot's Creek - Mosgiel, 3J miles, have been brought into use. Total mileage of line : Double line, 44 miles; single line, 2,910 miles. Total mileage equipped with lock-and-.block apparatus, 44 miles, double line. Total mileage now equipped with tablet instruments, 1,583& miles, single line.

Electric lock-and-block instruments in use, 80, at 36 stations. Electric tablet instruments in use, 874, at 362 stations. Automatic tablet exchangers in use at 330 stations. Telegraph and Telephone Facilities. Three hundred and four miles of wire and 189J miles of poles have been erected and brought into use, also various alterations and additions have been made to improve existing lines. Sixty-eight telephone connections have been brought into operation. Twenty additional connections and four extensions have been made to public exchanges. Two additional Morse connections and eight Morse instruments in Christchurch learners' gallery have been installed. A number of old-pattern instruments have been replaced by modern up-to-date appliances. All telegraph, telephone, and block wires between Addington and Sockburn have been placed underground. Totals now in use: Morse sets, 276; telephones, 1,453; electric bells, 230; miles of wire, 6,727; miles of poles, 2,529. The following work is in progress : Palmerston North - Napier (Morse line); WaipukurauPort Ahuriri (Morse line); Christchurch - Little River (telephone line); Amberley-Rangiora (telephone line); East Oxford - West Oxford (telephone line). Electric Lighting and Power. Electric light has been installed at Auckland Goods-yard, Te Kuiti, Ravensbourne, Wingatui, Mosgiel, and District Engineer's house at Invercargill, and additional lighting has been provided at Wellington and Petone Workshops.

TRAFFIC. Mr. H. Buxton, Chief Traffic Manager, reports as follows :— Whangarei Section. Revenue, £49,233 ; increase, £6,512. Passengers increased 21,849. Last year there was a decrease of 15,000, owing to restriction of travel in consequence of the outbreak of smallpox. The traffic on the Kaikohe Branch, which was opened on the Ist May, and the inclusion of Easter traffic have added to the numbers this year. Parcels increased 3,926, chiefly cream traffic. There was an increase of 26,570 tons of minerals. The output of coal was affected during the previous year by strikes. There was a slight improvement in live-stock, merchandise, and firewood ; but grain and timber decreased. Kaihu Section. Revenue, £5,575 ; increase, £587. An extension of two miles and a half of line was opened on the Ist June. The principal increases were 5,300 passengers and 2,330 tons of timber. Gisborne Section. Revenue, £22,857 ; decrease, £646. An extension of thirteen miles was opened on the 2nd November. Passenger revenue increased £485 and goods revenue £1,444, but in the previous year a considerable sum was received for the hire of engines and wagons, which accounts for the gross decrease.

The principal features of the traffic were increases of 26,470 sheep and 2,243 tons of timber, and a decrease of 3,046 tons of minerals. North Island Main Line and Branches. Revenue, £2,166,669 ; increase, £8,568. The principal items of traffic Were — Number. Number.

Goods .. .. .. .. 1,856,678; decrease, 15,940 The increase of passenger revenue was £25,733. Parcels levenue decreased £3,276. The decrease is caused by the competition of the parcels-post and the general tendency to economy of expenditure. The increase in numbers is caused by the number of small lots of cream, due to the use of home separators. Goods revenue decreased £13,888. The decreases were : Chaff, &c. 18,786 tons ; firewood, 842 tons ; timber, 31,530 tons ; gi am, 3,809 tons ; merchandise, 6,081 tons. There was an increase of 43,856 tons of minerals. Live-stock traffic was somewhat retarded by a shortage of shipping for frozen meat, but there were considerable movements of stock from districts where pasturage was short owing to the dry season. The annual revenue per mile of railway fell from £1,976 ss. 7d. in 1913-14 to £1,972 9s. 2d. or 1914-15. The revenue per train-mile decreased -|d. (from Bs. Id. to Bs. Ofd.). Following are the principal variations in the districts :— Auckland District. —Revenue, £762,054 ; ncrease, £26,839. Passengers increased by 38,314, due chiefly to Easter holiday bookings. Season tickets increased by 5,472, and parcels 25,083. Cattle increased 16,873, calves 3,771, sheep 49,730, and pigs 11,104. Wool increased 298 tons, and coal 38,000 tons ; but there was a decrease in other minerals (roadmetal, bricks, &c.) of 24,000 tons. Chaff decreased 8,910 tons, timber 11,667 tons, grain 4,036 tons, and merchandise 4,119 tons. Ohakune District. —Revenue, £280,003 ; decrease, £8,910. Passengers increased by 29,154, due to Easter bookings and removal of restriction placed on travel by Maoris during smallpox outbreak. Parcels increased 20,600, due chiefly to cream traffic. Cattle increased 3,000, and sheep 14,800 ; but timber decreased 17,200 tons, and grain 576 tons. Wanganui £410,597 ; decrease, £8,797. Passengers decreased 48,295. Last year large excursions took place in connection with the visit of H.M.S. " New Zealand." This year school excursions were abandoned, and passenger traffic generally has fallen off. Cattle increased 9,500, and sheep 16,000. Timber increased 3,470 tons (chiefly inward shipments of Oregon pine at Breakwater, and merchandise 1,500 tons. Decreases occurred in chaff, 2,882 tons ; pigs, 2,700 ; wool, 134 tons ; firewood, 618 tons ; grain, 2,200 tons ; and minerals, 2,100 tons. Wellington District.— Revenue, £714,015 ; decrease, £564. Passengers increased 322,879, due to Easter traffic and to traffic in connection with the military camp at Trentham. Season tickets increased 4,271. Parcels decreased 10,774 in number and £514 in revenue. Cattle increased 9,455, and pigs 2,265 ; but sheep decreased 20,558. Goods traffic was affected by the slump in the hemp (dressed flax) production, the restricted export of frozen meat and by-products from Petone and Ngahauranga, and the dislocation of shipping. Another factor was that last year the merchandise traffic was swollen by the waterside workers' strike forcing on to the railway large quantities of goods which would in the ordinary course have gone by coastal boats. Grain increased 2,979 tons, and minerals 31,355 tons. Chaff, &c, decreased 5,634 tons, timber 2,953 tons, and merchandise 3,635 tons. Picton Section. Revenue, 31,408; decrease, £842.

Included in " Built new " is one wagon for the Public Works Department. One thousand three hundred and ninety wagons were under construction in the railway workshops at the close of the year, and comprised 104 bogie and 1,286 four-wheel wagons. Tarpaulins. —The tarpaulin stock on the Ist April, 1914, consisted of 17,282 tarpaulins, and on the 31st March, 1915, the number was 17,074. By a fire at East Town Workshops on the 1 8th February last 208 tarpaulins were destroyed. These sheets will be replaced at an early date. Seventy-five fcarpaurins were made for other Departments, and 1,310 worn-out tarpaulins were condemned and written off, and replaced with a similar number of new sheets. The following table gives details of the work on tarpaulins for the year : —

Stationary Engines and Cranes. —The repairs and renewals during the year were »r follows :—

Axles. —During the year 14(1 car. van. and wagon axles were replaced with modern steel axles: this number, however, does not include axles for new rolling-stock. Practically all the iron axles in service have now been renewed with modern steel axles. The steel axles increase the carrying-capacitj of each wagon by 2 tons. Westinghouse Brake. —-The work of equipping engines and rolling-stock on the Whangarei Section with the automatic quick-acting Westinghouse air-brake lias made good progress, and will be completed during the current year; the work on the Westland Section will be put in hand at an early date. Efficient arrangements are in force for the examination and upkeep of the Westinghouse brake. All new engines and rolling-stock built for sections upon which the air-brake is in operation are equipped with if before being put into service. Car-lighting.---The oil-gas manufactured at the five separate Pintsch-gas works amounted to 11,136,940 cubic feet, oosting 2s. 4'lsd. per 100 cubic feet. The increased cost was duo to the price of gas-oil and repairs to plant. On sections not provided with Pintsch all oars arc now lighted with acetylene gas. Motor-cars. —The motor-cars in use on the Culverden—Hanraer service have been kept in good and efficient working-order. One Westinghouse petrol-electric rail motor car was completed in the railway workshops and put into traffic on suburban services. Steamers. —-The Railway Department's steamers on hake Wakatipu service have been maintained in good working-older. Renewals and Replacements. — During the year two tank engines, one brake-van, and ten wagons, all second-hand, were sold ; also two cars, two brake-vans, and six wagons were damaged; one brake-van, twenty-five wagons, and 1,310 worn-out tarpaulins were all written off. To replace the engines and rolling-stock sold or written off during the year under review and also last year, two heavy tank engines, two bogie cars, three bogie brake-vans, forty-six wagons were built, and 1,310 new tarpaulins were made. To replace the cars, vans, and wagons' sold or written off, new stock is under construction. In accordance with the practice of the Department, the cost of replacing engines and rolling-stock sold or worn out and written off is debited to workingexpenses. '/'rain Eunnmg and Mileage. —There has again been an increase in train-mileage. Compared with 1913-14 the increase in 1914-15 is 64,152 train-miles and 42.014 engine-miles. With the heavier engines now employed and taking bigger loads a material reduction in train and engine mileage is to be expected.
