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

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting the Railways Statement for the year ended 31st March, 1916, I have pleasure in announcing that, notwithstanding the exceptional circumstances existing throughout the whole year, the gross receipts amounted to £4,548,356, and exceeded the earnings for the previous year by £442,899. The following gives a summary of the results : — Year 1910. Year 1915. £ £ Total earnings .. .. .. .. ..4,548,356 4,105,457 Total expenditure .. .. .. ..2,910,883 2,920,-155 Net profit on working .. .. .. £1,637,473 £ 1,185,002 The mileage of lines open for traffic on the 31st March was 2,970. The extensions opened during the year totalled 15 miles 36 chains. The capital cost of all lines open for traffic, including the steamers and plant on Lake Wakatipu, advanced from £34,133,825 to £34,857,882. The net revenue amounted to £1,637,473, and is equal to a return of 4-72 on the capital invested on the lines open for traffic and 4-39 on the capital (£37,335,080) invested on the opened and unopened lines. The gross revenue (£4,548,356) exceeded the earning for the previous year by £442,899 and the estimated revenue by £548,356. The gross receipts per train-mile from the North Island main line and branches were 112-25d., against 96-75d. last year, an increase of 15-50d. The South Island main line and branches produced a gross revenue of 117-25d. per train-mile, against 110-50d. last year, an increase of 6-75d. per train-mile. The gross earnings per train-mile from all lines amounted to 116-50d., against 104-75d. for the previous year, an advance of 11-75d. The expenditure for the year (£2,910,883) was £9,572 less than the preceding year and £9,117 less than the estimated amount. The percentage of expenses to earnings was 64 per cent., against 71-14 per cent, last year, a decrease of 7-14 per cent. The sum of £389,995 was expended under the head of " Additions to open lines" in providing additional rolling-stock, workshops machinery, car-lighting, and Westinghouse brake, telegraph and telephone and tablet facilities, duplication of lines, purchase of land, &c. During the year 35 new locomotives, 53 carriages, 28 brake-vans, 90 bogie and 653 four-wheeled wagons were completed and put into traffic, and 52 locomotives, 36 carriages, 3 brake-vans, 148 bogie and 643 four-wheeled wagons were on order on the 31st March.

RESULTS OE WORKING. The following is a summary of results of working, for year ending the 31st March, 1916, as compared with 1915 :—

In September last a war impost was made of Id. in each shilling on ordinary passenger-fares, and 10 per cent, on the rates for parcels and goods traffic (except timber). It is estimated that the revenue from this source up to 31st March amounted to £220,000. It appears quite evident that the development of the natural resources which have been going on in the country for some years must result in a continuation of increase of the productivity in respect to our staple products. The fact that the receipts from the railways during the two years of war are in advance of previous years gives ground for a feeling of the greatest confidence in regard to the future.

Looking back at the railway returns over a period of years I find the record of one year broken by that of the following year. Having regard to this and the resourcefulness of the country, I anticipate a very marked increase in the railway traffic in the near future, and in order to provide for it a commencement, and in a comprehensive way, should be made with the improvements outlined in the special report of the General Manager [in 1914, otherwise great difficulties will inevitably arise in dealing with the traffic. Railway business cannot be handled economically and satisfactorily by the Department unless proper facilities are available. I estimate the revenue for the year ending 31st March, 1917, at £4,450,000, and the expenditure at £3,045,000. SUPERANNUATION FUND. The amount standing to the credit of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund at the end of the financial year was £362,810, an increase of £16,654 on the balance to credit to the fund on the 31st March, 1915. The total income for the year was £118,906, and the outgoing £102,252. Of the latter sum, £83,703 represented payments to 972 members of the service who have retired voluntarily or by reason of being medically unfit, 223 widows and 305 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 members totalled £78,403, or £7,936 less than the actual liability on the 31st March. The receipts are, however, supplemented by the subsidy received from the Government, £25,000, and amounts accruing from interest on funds invested and fines imposed under the regulations : these amounted to £15,503.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways, Sir,— Head Office, Wellington, 21st July, 1916. I have the honour to report on the working of the New Zealand railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1916. The total mileage of line open for traffic is 2,970 miles, an increase of 15 miles on last year's total. This is comprised of the Huntly-Awaroa line of 7 miles 43 chains and the Ward-Wharanui Extension, Picton Seotion, of 7 miles 73 chains. The capital invested in the lines open for traffic, including the plant and steamers on Lake Wakatipu, on the 31st March was £34,857,882, an increase of £724,057 when compared with the previous year. The gross receipts amounted to £4,548,356, against £4,105,457 for the year 1915, an increase of £442,899. The net revenue amounted to £1,637,473, equal to a return of 4-72 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for traffic and 4-39 per cent, on the total capital invested in the opened and. unopened lines. The train-mileage for the year (9,356,522 miles) was 26,898 miles less than the preceding year. The financial year just ended, however, included an additional working-day due to leap year. Allowing for this extra day, the decrease in train-mileage is approximately 57,000 miles, representing a saving of £17,130. The saving has been effected in goods-train mileage, and is due to some extent to the decrease in the tonnage handled, but is mainly the result of economies arising from grade improvements and. the employment of a greater number of heavy and powerful locomotives, enabling trains to take increased tonnage over busy sections of the line. Further economy in operating will be effected as the projected grade easements are extended. Heavy floods and extensive slips on various portions of the system caused disorganization and serious delays to trains in June, July, September, and November. On the 19th June a slip near Puketutu caused four and a half hours' delay to the AucklandWellington express and two other trains. A work-train engaged in clearing the road ran into the slip and was derailed. On the 10th July slips near Konini caused derailment of engine and two cars of passenger-train and a delay of three hours and a half. A slip near Maharahara caused four hours' delay ; washout near Cliff Road, three hours' delay. On same date slips blocked the Toko Branch, which was not cleared till the 12th July. On the 11th July slips near Te Kuiti stopped traffic for several hours, causing a delay of nine hours to express Auckland to Wellington, and three hours to Wellington-Auckland express. Slips on Toko Branch caused complete suspension of traffic from the 21st July till the 24th July, when train-running was resumed from Stratford to Douglas. The portion of the line between Douglas and Pohokura was not reopened till the 29th July, and communication with Whangamomona was not restored till the 7th August. On the 21st .July slips occurred between Mangaroa and Summit. On the 22nd July slips between Taihape and Ma'taroa delayed traffic for eight hours. On. the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th July floods and slips disorganized traffic between Taumarunui and Otorohanga : through traffic was restored, on the 25th July. On the 17th September and sth, 6th, and 7th November trains on the Wairarapa line were delayed by slips and floods. On the 11th and 12th November slips and washouts at Puketutu and Porootarao caused several hours' delay to the train services. On the 16th November Rakaia Bridge was damaged by floods, and passengers had to be transferred while repairs were being effected : these were completed by midday on the 18th November. The East and West Coast line was damaged by floods near Otira on the 16th November, and passengers had to be transferred by coaches up to the 23rd November. A washout at Cass necessitated transhipment of passengers from the 17th to the 30th November. Slips on the State Collieries line near Rewanui commenced on the 9th July, and continued intermittently until the 13th December. The following figures, which give the record of the late arrival of the principal trains during the year, indicate that, despite the difficulties experienced in connection with slips and other unforeseen circumstances, the trains have as a whole kept good time :• — Averago Late Arrival. Mm. Man. Long-distance passenger-trains .. .. .. 2-13 against 1-40 last year. Suburban trains .. .. .. .. .. 0-38 ~ 0-36 ~ Long-distance mixed trains .. .. .. 2-73 „ 2-09 ~ The number of ordinary passengers carried during the year was 14,201,506, an increase of 685,734 on the previous year's business. Season tickets issued numbered 330,622, an increase of 27,710. Workers' twelve-trip tickets numbered 72,054, and workers' weekly tickets issued on suburban lines 192,339, an increase of 8,100 twelve-trip and 19,683 workers' weekly suburban over the preceding year. ' Holiday excursion tickets totalled 900,091, as against 926,615 for the previous year. There was also a decrease of 16,690 in the schools, factory, and friendly-societies excursion tickets. Many annual excursions have been discontinued temporarily owing to the war, and several school excursions were abandoned this year owing to a prevailing epidemic. The total traffic under the head of " Coaching," which includes parcels, horses, carriages, and dogs, was 1,488,806, an increase of 2,829 on the total for last year. The total goods tonnage was 5,960,562, a decrease of 114,720 tons when compared with the previous year.

The increases were as follows: — Drays .. .. .. .. .. 316 Cattle .. .. .. .. .. 57,310 head; Sheep .. .. .. .. .. 281,520 head; Pigs J .. .. .. .. .. 19,288 head; Chaff, lime, &c. .. .. .. .. 72,712 tons; Timber .. .. .. ..... 3,903 tons; Merchandise.. .. .. .. .. 29,476 tons; and the decreases were — Wool .. .. .. .. .. 7,369 tons; Firewood .. .. .. .. .. 16,008 tons; Grain .. .. .. .. .. 41,365 tons ; Minerals .. .. .. .. .. 156,069 i tons. The increase in the cattle traffic is due to the movement of horsss for military purposes, the transport of stock for depasturing owing to drought, and the increased demand for beef for export. The increase in the number of sheep carried, largely due to the movement of flocks for depasturing purposes owing to the drought and the long continuation of the dry season, resulted in considerable numbers of the sheep sent for: depasturing being afterwards tailed for, slaughter and freezing instead of used for stocking farms. The erection of new freezing-works in various parts of the area served by railway has, on the other hand, caused a diversion of sheep from railway, considerable numbers of fat sheep being driven by road to local works, instead of being railed long distances to works as heretofore. The goods tonnage decreased by 114,720. tons, due chiefly to the decline in export of coal from the West Coast ports and the reduction in quantity of road material carried for local bodies. Grain shows a falling-ofi, owing to lighter crops resulting from the dry season and the holding of stocks in anticipation of prices again advancing. The traffic was also affected by the difficulty experienced in obtaining manures. Chaff and lime gave a substantial increase, owing to a heavy demand for chaff in local and foreign markets at prices that, were favourable to producers ; and the merchandise traffic; also shows an improvement. The average number of men employed during the year was 14,968, against 14,614 for the year ended 31st March, 1915. Twenty-four members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division ; 599 members of the permanent staff resigned, 89 retired on superannuation, 92 died, 104 were dismissed, and 1,420 engaged. The sum of £12,565 was paid under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act during the year to members who sustained injuries in the execution of their duty. The additions made to the rolling-stock during the year consisted of 28 new locomotives, 54 bogie cars, 1 petrol rail motor-carriage, 28 bogie brake-vans, 735 wagons. Fourteen of the locomotives —viz., 4 simple superheated tender, Class Ab, and 10 heavy tank, Class Ww, were built in the Government Railway Workshops; 12 simple superheated tender engines, Class Bb, by Messrs. Price (Limited), of Thames, under contract; and 10 simple superheated tender engines, Class Aa, were imported from the Baldwin Locomotive Works in America. Eight, obsolete tank engines were sold and written off and replaced by a corresponding number of the new up-to-date engines specified in the preceding paragraph. Two old cars, 2 four-wheeled '■''"brake-vans, and 43 old wagons have been sold or broken up and replaced by up-to-date stock, all of which has been paid for- out of revenue. 566 tarpaulins worn out and condemned and 208 destroyed by fire have been replaced by new tarpaulins, charged against revenue. During the year 198 modern steel axles were placed under cars, vans, and wagons in substitution for old iron axles, increasing the wagon-capacity by 2 tons each. The additional 28 locomotives taken in conjunction with boiler-renewals of locomotives in service have increased the tractive power by 9-30 per cent. The new carriages increase the seating-capacity by 2,941 passengers, or 5 percent. The new wagons added to the stock give an increased capacity of 7,724 tons, equivalent to an addition of 1,287 ordinary 6-ton trucks, or 4-37 per cent, in carrying-capacity. The rolling-stock actually on order and in hand on the 31st March comprised 52 locomotives — viz., 16 simple superheated tender engines, Ab, 20 heavy tank type, Ww, 16 simple superheated tenderengines, Bb, 37 carriages, 4 bogie brake-vans, 149 bogie and 660 four-wheeled wagons. The rolling-stock on the Whangarci Section has been completely equipped with Westinghouse automatic air-brake, and the installation of the appliances on the Westland Section is now in hand. The Thomas Transmission rail motor-car, to which reference was made last year, has now arrived and is to be placed in commission on the Wellington -Johnsonville line, where heavy gradients and numerous tunnels abound. When the men. in charge of the operating of the car gain experience in handling it good results are anticipated. The motor-cars on the Oulverden-Hanmer run continue to do good service. The steamer service on Lake Wakatipu has been efficiently maintained. The appointment of ah officer in charge who has had experience in shipping traffic has been beneficial, but notwithstanding this the traffic does not show any material advance. It will therefore be necessary to review the rates operating, with the object of obtaining a return more commensurate with the value of the services' rendered and the capital invested in the plant employed in connection with the Lake services. The whole of the permanent-way and structures have been maintained in a satisfactory condition. The mileage of track relaid during the year was 36| miles of main line with 70 lb. material, 9 miles of branch line with new 55 lb. material in substitution for 40 lb. metals, and 12 miles branch line with second-hand metals removed from main lines : total, 57-J miles. This is considerably below the

D.—2

VI

standard of 100 miles per annum, but in view of the impossibility of obtaining materials from abroad owing to the war, and the necessity for husbanding the very limited stock of rails on hand, it was impracticable to do more. When normal conditions again prevail it will be prudent to raise the standard distance for a year or two until the arrears are overtaken. During the year 158,223 sleepers and 406,544 cubic yards of ballast have been placed in the track. The cost of relaying the track, including respacing and replacing sleepers, is being charged to revenue. Difficulty has been experienced in obtaining the steel required for strengthening some of the bridges. This, although unavoidable, is unfortunate, as it will retard the work in hand and delay the removal of restrictions to the use of the heavier type of locomotive on certain portions of the main lines. A considerable number of improvements have been made in the accommodation at various stations throughout the railway system. Interlocking and signalling appliances have been extended ; waterservices, engine-depots, goods-sheds, and sidings and station - yards enlarged or improved to suit requirements; grade easements have been carried out in the Auckland District and between Feilding and Marton as part of the general scheme of improvement. Fixed signals have been installed at 5 additional stations, and distant signals at 52 stations. Of the total number of officered stations, 285 are equipped with fixed signals, 92 are interlocked, and 118 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 correctly set have been fitted to 40 stations during the year —viz., 30 in the North Island and 10 in the South Island. The interlocking of points and signals was brought into operation at Waikumete, New Lynn, Avondale, Khandallah, Sockburn Crossing, and Port Chalmers, and additions and rearrangement made at Kioreroa Bridge, Henderson, Linwood, and Sockburn. Flag stations and sidings have been - interlocked with the tablet system. The electric tablet system is now operating at 367 stations, controlling 1,620 miles of single track, and the lock-and-block operates over 44 miles of double line. The railway telegraph and telephone systems were extended during the year and now comprise 276 Morse sets, 1,535 telephones, 253 electric bells, 2,588 miles of poles, and 6,964 miles of wire. Automatic warning-bells have been installed at 6 level crossings, and the work for 50 more crossings is in hand. Electric lighting has been installed at a number of stations, railway dwellinghouses, offices, and yards. An electric traverser has been installed at the new locomotive depot, Linwood, and an overhead crane at Petone Workshops. Revenue. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £4,548,356, and exceeded the earnings of the previous year by £442,899 and the estimated revenue by £548,356. The particulars are as follows : — 1910. 1915. Increase. £ £ £ Passengers .. .. .. ..1,722,702 1,482,383 240,319 Parcels, luggage, and mails .. .. 236,705 227,521 9,184 Coods.. .. .. .. .. 2,423,493 2,249,399 174,094 Miscellaneous, rents, &c. .. .. .. 165,456 146,154 19,302 4,548,356 4,105,457 442,899 On the North Island main line and branches the receipts per train-mile amounted to 112-25d., against 96-75d. for the preceding year. The net revenue per train-mile amounted to 43-62d., against 28-14d. last year. The gross receipts per train-mile on the South Island main line and branches advanced from UO-50d. last year to 117-25d. for the current year, giving a net return of 35-73d. For all lines the gross earnings per train-mile advanced from 104-75d. for 1.915 to .Ll6-50d. for the current year, an increase of 11-75d. per train-mile. The net earnings per train-mile were 42-00d., against 30-21d. for last year. The gross earnings per average mile of railway increased by £130. The earnings from the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £7,243, an increase of £392 on the earnings of the previous year. The net revenue, £1,637,473, was equal to 4-72 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for- traffic (£34,857,882), and 4-39 per cent, on the capital invested in the open and unopened lines (£37,335,080). In September, 1915, the rates and charges for the conveyance of parcels and goods traffic (except timber) were increased by 1.0 per cent., and ordinary passenger-fares by 8£ per cent. At the same time week-end excursion tickets available from Saturday to midnight Monday were brought into operation. The latter afford opportunity for cheap travel every week-end, and there are indications that the arrangement will become popular and induce traffic; it is desirable, however, to stress the fact that the restrictions as to the use of these cheap tickets are essential to protect the Department's ordinary passenger business, and they cannot be departed from. It is estimated that approximately £220,000 of the increase in revenue may be ascribed to the additional rates, the balance, £222,899, representing the advance that would have accrued from the traffic in the ordinary course. In view of the abnormal conditions prevailing during the past two years I do not regard it as prudent to anticipate thai; normal pre-war conditions will reassert themselves in the immediate future. The tendency will, I consider, bo in the direction of further enhancement of prices for all and to provide for this the earning-power of the service must at least be maintained at its present standard.

Expenditure. The working expenditure for the year, including £6,377 representing the cost of working Lake Wakatipu steamers, amounted to £2,910,883, a decrease of £9,572 on last year's figures. The ratio of expenditure to earnings was 64-00 per cent., against 71-14 per cent, for the preceding year, a decrease of 7-14 per cent. : — Expenditure.

There has been a decrease in the Locomotive expenditure resulting from a decrease in the trainmileage consequent on the use of larger engines and completion of grade easements on busy parts of the road where heavy grades ruled heretofore. The gross expenditure in the Maintenance Branch is slightly in excess of last year, although the expenditure per mile of railway was £251, as against £254 for the preceding year. A considerable number of works of a miscellaneous nature, and representing additions to lines, structures, and rolling-stock, costing £11,129, which might reasonably have been charged to capital, having been carried out and debited to working-expenses. The sum of £65,444 was expended in the Maintenance Branch and charged to Capital Account under the head " Additions to open lines." These comprise additions to station buildings, workshops, and dwellings, extension of station-yards, tablet installation, telegraph and telephone facilities duplication of line, purchase of land, water-services, stock-yards, &c. In the Locomotive Branch £324,551 was expended in the provision of additional rolling-stock, Westinghouse brake, workshops machinery, steam-heating gear, and electric light for cars. The rolling-stock in respect to which the charges were incurred include 35 locomotives, 53 carriages, 31 brake-vans, 238 bogie and 1,296 four-wheeled wagons completed on the 31st March,, and 52 locomotives, 36 carriages, 3 brake-vans, 148 bogie and 643 four-wheeled wagons in hand but incomplete on that date. The expenditure was affected by the inability of the Department to obtain delivery of supplies of material from the United Kingdom. This militated against the operations of the Department and prevented the execution of works that had been authorized. The enlistment of a considerable number of railway men for service at the front is also responsible for some of the reduction in the expenditure. '* Duplications and Grade Easements. The duplication of the Parnell Tunnel was completed early in the year, and has been of considerable advantage and materially assisted, traffic operations during the busy periods. The grade easements between Auckland and Mercer are well advanced, and the work has been practically completed from Runciman to Mercer, a distance of about 23 miles. The alteration of the gradients between Otahuhu and Runciman is in hand. The Kakariki deviation between Feilding and Marton is also practically completed. The expenditure incurred in those works was £37,289. Reclamation at Auckland. The reclamation of land at St. George's Bay is well in hand, the new engine-shed is in an advanced state, and extensive sidings which form a part of the new station scheme have been laid. The expenditure incurred in connection with this work was £73,424. Negotiations with the owners of land who have been or will be disturbed by the Department's working scheme are in progress, and a number of claims have been settled by mutual arrangement. Advertising. The control of advertising on stations by the Department is proving satisfactory. A considerable improvement is gradually being brought about in the display of notices and advertisements at stations, and satisfactory results are accruing from the point of view of business and revenue. Railway Improvements. Further experience impels me to again refer to the urgent necessity that exists for proceeding with the various works referred to in my special report of 1914 and Railway Report of 1915 without

D.—2

VIII

any further delay. At the outset I stressed the point that the larger works would take five years to complete, and that before that time had elapsed the business under normal conditions will have attained a magnitude that will compel provision of additional accommodation. Much valuable time has already been lost in making a commencement with the scheme. Normal conditions have not prevailed, yet notwithstanding the disturbing elements created by the war the railway business has expanded considerably. The operations of the Department are already being carried on at the main centres with, difficulty and under most disadvantageous circumstances. The time lost cannot be made up, but if further delay occurs in making a comprehensive start with the works there will be grave risk of the railway facilities proving unequal to the strain put upon them by the new business offering before the works are completed. Railway Men at the Front. During the year a considerable number of railway men have volunteered for service with the colours abroad. The total number who have enlisted to the 31st March was 1,728. Fifty-two members have fallen in defence of the Empire up to that date. Up to the present it has not been necessary to place any restriction on enlistment by members, although the reduction in numbers in certain grades is now creating a somewhat serious problem. The names of all who answered the Empire's call are included in the roll of honour list appended hereto.

MAINTENANCE. Mr. F. W. Mac Lean, Chief Engineer, reports as follows : — The track, buildings, structures, and appliances have been maintained during the year in good working order and repair.

Main and branch lines, 53-56 lb. relaid with 701b. material ... ... 36J Branch lines, 401b. relaid with new 551b. material ... ... ... 9 Branch lines, 401b. relaid with second-hand material removed from main lines ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 12 Total relaying for the year ... ... ... ... 57J The reduced amount of relaying this year is due partly to the late arrival of shipments of rails from England, partly to the necessity for keeping some stocks in hand for future requirements in view of the difficulty in obtaining further supplies during the war. The amount of relaying is considerably below what, is desirable, and to overtake arrears increased expenditure in this direction will be required when conditions are normal. Sleepers. —lsB,223 new sleepers were put into the track during the year. This number is also considerably below the usual rate, owing pricipally to the reduced amount of relaying. Slips and Floods. —In July, 1915, extensive floods and slips occurred on the North Island Main Trunk Railway between Taihape and Te Kuiti, on the Wellington-Wairarapa Railway, the Stratford-Whangamomona Branch, and other parts of the railway system, causing considerable delays to traffic. Traffic has also been delayed by slips and washouts in other localities. Repairs were carried out promptly and every effort made to minimize inconvenience to the publio. Extensive protective works have been carried out where damage has occurred or is anticipated. Ballasting. —4o6,s44 cubic yards of ballast have been placed on the track during the year. A new ballast-pit is being opened out near Wiri. At Te Kuiti quarry the two stone-crushers have been kept fully at work. In addition to our own requirements, stone has been supplied from this quarry for the Public Works Department and for local bodies. At the Egmont pits a Bishop ballast-loader has been used with success. A large quantity of ballast has been supplied from this pit for the Public Works Department. About 12,500 cubic yards of earth and sand have been deposited on the Rukuhia Swamp, which is every year becoming more consolidated. Bridges. —Bridge structures have been maintained in safe condition. The difficulty of obtaining structural steel has delayed some of the work of strengthening bridges which is in hand. The use of reinforced concrete in bridge structures is being developed. Water-services. —These have been maintained in good order, and considerable improvements effected to meet increased demands. Wharves. —The wharves belonging to the Department have been maintained in good repair. At Helensville about 15,000 yards have been dredged to increase the berthage available. Training-works have been carried out with a, view to maintaining the increased depth at the wharf. At Port Chalmers extensive repairs have been carried out, and the George Street pier is at present being widened.

engine-power during this year, a charge not hitherto debited, the expenditure was really £11 per mile less than in 1914-15 and £24 per mile less than in 1913-14, notwithstanding a considerable increase in the cost of most materials. Although it is no doubt advisable to curtail expenditure at the present time to the lowest possible limits, any decrease in expenditure now must entail increased expenditure later unless the standard of maintenance is to be lowered, which I think inadvisable.

At the close of the year there were under construction in the railway workshops thirty-six engines, consisting of sixteen " Pacific type " simple superheated tender engines, Class Ab, and twenty heavy tank engines, 4-6-4 type, Class Ww. Under contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), oi Thames, there were sixteen 4-8-0 type simple superheated tender engines to complete. An order for an additional ten of these engines was placed during the year with this firm, thus increasing the contract from twenty to thirty engines. Thus at the end of the year there were altogether in hand fifty-two locomotive engines. The new locomotives added, together with boiler renewals, increased the total tractive power by 674,6291b., or equal to 9'30 per cent. The new engines being built and the boilers under construction will, when completed, still further materially increase the tractive power. Boilers. —The work on new boilers, renewals, and repairs has been kept well up to date. Twenty-three new locomotive boilers were constructed. The following statement shows details of the boiler-work done :—

Thirty-five new boilers were under construction at close of year, and comprised thirteen Class Ab, two Class F, and twenty Class Ww. Carriages. —The stock on the Ist April, 1915, consisted of 1,397 cars, and on the 31st Mai-ch, 1916, the number was 1,452 cars. Two cars were sold to the Public Works Department and written off. Fifty-six new bogie cars were built, and one petrol rail-motor-car was added to stock.

The following table shows details of car-work done during the year : —

Thirty-seven cars were under construction in the railway workshops at close of the year. Brake-vans. —The number of brake-vans on the line on the Ist April, 1915, was 410, and the number on the 31st March, 1916, was 440. Thirty new bogie vans were built and added to stock, twenty-eight being additional stock and two to replace second-hand four-wheel vans sold in previous years. The following table shows the work done on brake-vans during the year : —

Four new bogie vans are under construction. Wagons'. —The wagon stock on the Ist April, 1915, consisted of 20,816 vehicles, and the number on the 31st March, 1916, was 21,554. Thirty-one worn-out wagons were broken up and written off, eight wagons were sold to the Public Works Department, and four second-hand wagons were sold to a private company. Seven hundred and seventy-three new wagons were built and added to stock. Of this number, 735 were additional stock, and the balance, thirty-eight, was to replace wagons sold and wagons worn out and written off. Right bogie frozen-meat wagons were purchased during the year and added to stock. The carrying-capacity of wagon stock was increased by 7,724 tons, equal to 4"37 per cent., or an equivalent of 1,287 ordinary wagons. The -following table gives particulars of work done on wagons during the year : —

Eight hundred and nine wagons were under construction in the railway workshops at the close of the year, and comprised 149 bogie and 660 four-wheel wagons. Tarpaulins. —The tarpaulin stock on the Ist April, 1915, was 17,074 tarpaulins, and on the 31st March, 1916, the number was 17,282. Two hundred and eight tarpaulins which were destroyed by fire at Fast Town Workshops on the 18th February, 1915, were replaced with new tarpaulins. Six new tarpaulins were made for the Public Works Department, and 566 worn-out tarpaulins were condemned and written off and replaced with a similar number of new tarpaulins.

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

Axles. —During the year 198 car, van, and wagon axles were replaced with modern steel axles : this number, however, does not include axles for new rolling-stock. The steel axles increase the carrying-capacity 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 was completed during the year. The work on the Westland Section has been taken in hand. 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 it before being put into service. G air-lighting. —The oil-gas manufactured at the live, separate Pintsch-gas works during the year amounted to 11,248,470 cubic feet, and cost to manufacture 2s. 2'3ld. per 100 cubic feet, the reduction in cost of production being due to improvements in the plant and the use of a better gas-producing oil. On sections not provided with Pintsch gas all cars are lighted with acetylene gas. Motor-cars. —The motor-cars in use on the Culvordon-Hanmer service have been kept in good and efficient working-order'. Pail Motor-cars. —The Westinghouse petrol-electric rail motor-oar put into service last year has been kept in efficient working-order and employed on suburban services. An addition to this form of traction lias been made by importing a Thomas transmission-rail motor-car. The erection of this car is now in hand in the railway workshops. Steamers. —The Railway Department's steamers on Lake Wakatipu service have been maintained in good working-order, Renewals and Replacements. —During the year eight second-hand tank engines, two cars, and twelve wagons were sold, and thirty-one worn-out wagons were broken up and written off; also 566 worn-out tarpaulins were condemned and written off. To replace the engines and rollingstock sold or written off one heavy tank engine, three bogie carriages, two bogie brake-vans, and thirty-eight wagons were built, and 774 tarpaulins were made. Of this number of tarpaulins, 208 were to replace tarpaulins destroyed by the fire at Fast Town Workshops on the 18th February, 1915. To replace the remaining engines 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 working-expenses. Train Running and Mileage. —This year there has been a decrease in train-mileage amounting to 26,898 miles as compared with 1914-15. This has been due to the increased use of larger engines, which take heavier loads and thereby cut down the number of special trains and doubleheaded trains. As more of these heavy engines are built and put into service further reduction in train-mileage is to be expected. There has been an increase in engine-mileage of 62,901 miles as compared with 1914-15. The increase is partly due to the larger number of work-trains supplied. The following table shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile : —

As the increased cost per train-mile is only 0'09d., it must be considered, when all the circumstances are taken into account, as a very satisfactory year's working.
