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, 1917, I have to announce that, notwithstanding the abnormal conditions which have prevailed during the year, the railway earnings, which constitute a record for the Dominion, amounted to £4,800,810. This is an advance of £252,454 on the earnings for the year ended 31st March, 1916, and £350,810 in excess of the estimated revenue. The following gives a summary of the results : — Year, 1917. Year, 1916. £ £ Total earnings ... ... ... ... 4,800,810 4,548,356 Total expenditure ... ... ... ... 2,926,864 2,910,883 Net profit on working ... ... £1,873,946 £1,637,473 The mileage of lines open for traffic on the 31st March, 1917, was 2,970, no new extensions being opened during the year. The capital cost of all lines open for traffic, including the steamers and plant on Lake Wakatipu, increased from £34,857,882 to £35,378,664. The net revenue, £1,873,946, is equal to a return of 5-30 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for traffic, and 4-91 per cent, on the gross capital (£38,187,173) invested in the opened and unopened lines. The gross receipts per train-mile for all lines amounted to 125-75 d., against 116-50 d. for the previous year, an increase of 9-25 d. per train-mile. The receipts per train-mile from the North Island main line and branches were 12300 d., against 112-25 d. last year, an increase of 10-75 d. The South Island main line and branches produced a gross return of 124-75 d. per train-mile, against 117-25 d. last year, an increase of 7-50 d. per train-mile. The expenditure for the year (£2,926,864) was £15,981 more than the preceding year, but £118,136 under the estimate (£3,045,000). The percentage of working-expenses to earnings was 60-97 per cent., against 64-00 per cent, last year, a decrease of 3-03 per cent. The sum of £296,276 was expended under the head " Additions to open lines" in providing additional rolling-stock, workshops machinery, car-light-ing, Westinghouse brake, steam-heating gear, interlocking, telegraph, telephone and tablet facilities, purchase of land, improvements to wharves, &c. During the year 23 new locomotives, 29 carriages, 58 bogie and 332 fourwheeled wagons, and 250 tarpaulins were completed and put into traffic; and 27 locomotives, 46 carriages, 16 brake-vans, 205 bogie and 956 four-wheeled wagons, and 1,050 tarpaulins were in hand on the 31st March.

RESULTS OP WORKING. The following is a summary of results of working for year ending the 31st March, 1917, as compared with 1916 : —
In view of the uncertainties created by the war conditions, more especially in regard to overseas shipping, the dearth of which affects our imports, exports, and manufactures very seriously, it is quite impossible to make anything beyond a conservative forecast of the railway revenue and expenditure for the year ending 31st March, 1918. Having regard, therefore, to these circumstances, I do not consider it prudent to anticipate a higher revenue than £4,200,000, or to fix the expenditure at less than £2,943,500. Although constrained by the uncertainties and adverse conditions of the moment to make a conservative estimate of the results of working for the ensuing year (1918), I deem it essential to emphasize the advisability of making ample provision to carry on comprehensively and progressively the improve.

tnents referred to in the special report made by the General Manager in 1914. [t was definitely stated at that time, and has been emphasized since, that unless the works enumerated were completed within five years very serious disabilities would occur in dealing with the railway traffic. At that date the revenue was verging on four millions per annum. In the succeeding four years it has advanced to £4,800,000, an increase of £800,000, or 20 per cent, per annum. 1 am firmly convinced that not long after hostilities cease this country, with its great natural resources, will enter upon an era of unprecedented industrial activity, and our railways will be called upon to deal with a greatly increased business. During ten years, 1905-1914, under normal conditions the railway revenue increased by over 83 per cent., and the tonnage by per cent. The experience of the last four years confirms my opinion that this rate of advancement will be maintained, if not exceeded, when normal conditions are restored. It is obvious that facilities that were insufficient for the business in 1914 will be totally inadequate to deal with the 50-per-cent. greater traffic that will be offering before the works can be completed five years hence. Much valuable time has already been lost through unavoidable circumstances. This cannot be recovered, but the consequent disabilities can be rendered less acute by at once making such provision as will enable the improvements to be commenced and hastened on vigorously and uninterruptedly as soon as materials and labour are available. SUPERANNUATION FUND The total amount standing to the credit of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund at the end of the financial year was £377,585, an increase of £14,775 on the balance to credit to the fund on the 31st March, 1916. The total income for the year was £125,434, and the outgoing amount £110,659. Of the latter sum, £89,859 represented payments to 1,019 members of the service who have retired voluntarily or by reason of being medically unfit, 250 widows and 347 children who are dependants of deceased contributors to the fund who were members of the service at the time of their death. The income from actual contributions of members totalled £82,983, or £10,870 less than the estimated annual liability. The receipts are, however, augmented by the subsidy received from the Government, £25,000, and amounts received by way of interest, on funds invested and fines imposed under the regulations and a donation : these amounted to £17,451.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. g lßj — New Zealand Government Railways, Head Office, Wellington, 13th August, 1917. 1 have the honour to report on the working of the New Zealand railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1917. The total mileage open for traffic is 2,970 miles, no new lines being taken over by the Working Railways during the year. The capital invested in the lines open for traffic, including the plant and steamers on Lake Wakatipu, on the 31st March was £35,378,664, as against £34,857,882 for the previous year, an increase of £520,782. This represents expenditure on new works chargeable against Capital Account under Additions to Open Lines, £285,543; and Railways Improvement Authorization Act, 1914, £225,597; also £10,394 expended in the Greymouth and Westport districts, less a Public Works credit on last year's Capital Account of £752. The gross receipts amounted to £4,800,810, against £4,548,356 for the year ended 31st March, 1916, an increase of £252,454. The net revenue, £1,873,946, is equal to a return of 5"30 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for traffic, and 491 per cent, on the capital invested in the opened and unopened lines. These figures constitute a record for the railways. The train-mileage for the year (9,146,331 miles) was 210,191 miles less than the previous year, but as the previous year included an extra working-day the actual decrease on the basis of an equal number of days was approximately 180,000 miles. The reduction on the North Island main line and branches was 96,000 miles, on the South Island main line and branches 59,000 miles, and the balance on the smaller sections. The goods train-mileage generally has fallen in sympathy with the reduced tonnage, but the decrease mainly represents economy effected as a result of grade improvements and the employment of an increasing proportion of heavy and more powerful locomotives. Already, therefore, the expenditure incurred in grade-easements has become productive of good and lasting results. Heavy floods and extensive slips occurred on various lines, causing disorganization and serious delays to trains. Owing to a slip near Mount Allan, on the Otago Central line, from the 3rd to the 7th August it was necessary to tranship passengers and mails, but goods traffic was suspended. On the 7th and Bth September floods in the Invercargill district caused interruptions to traffic, the Kingston and Nightcaps lines being chiefly affected. Damage to the bridge over the Manganui River near Midhirst necessitated the transhipment of passengers and mails from the 9th to 13th November. Goods traffic was suspended. On the 9th and 10th November a slip blocked the Whangamomona Tunnel, and trains were run between Stratford and Pohokura only. A further slip caused a blockage of the same tunnel from the 27th to the 29th November. A slip on the main line near Paerata from the 21st to the 24th December necessitated the organization of a temporary service and the transhipment of passengers at the blockage, but the Christmas holiday traffic was seriously affected and all goods traffic suspended. In the Whangarei district floods on the 3rd, 4th, and sth February affected the line between Waiotu and Opua, and on the Kaikohe Branch. Through traffic on the main line was resumed on the 6th, but the blockage on the Kaikohe Branch was not removed until the 10th February. A further flood occurred on the 21st February, repairs being effected during the day. Floods on the Kaihu Section disorganized traffic from the 3rd to the 9th February. On the 7th idem a temporary passenger service was established, but ordinary traffic was not resumed until the 9th. Owing to floods and slips on the North Auckland line it was necessary to suspend all traffic north of Kaukapakapa from the 3rd February to the 2nd March. On the 3rd and 4th February all traffic was suspended on the Thames line, but on the sth passengers were able to tranship, through communication being resumed on the 6th February. Further floods on the Kaihu line caused a cessation of traffic from the 21st February to the 2nd March, when a passenger service was established, passengers transferring at the blockage. Through traffic was restored on the Bth March. The following figures, which give the record of the late arrival of the principal trains during the year, indicate that notwithstanding the difficulties experienced in connection with slips, floods, and other unforeseen circumstances, the trains have, as a whole, kept good time :— Averago Late Arrival. Mm. Mm. Long-distance passenger-trains ... ... 2 - 38 against 2*13 last year. Suburban trains ... ... ... ... 0 - 36 ~ o'3B ~ Long-distance mixed trains ... ... ... 3 - 10 ~ 2 - 73 ~ The number of ordinary passengers carried during the year was 14,173,115, a decrease of 28,391 on the number for the previous year. Season tickets issued numbered 355,832, an increase of 25,210. Workers' twelve-trip tickets numbered 91,909, and workers' weekly tickets issued on the suburban lines 200,303, an increase of 19,855 twelve-trip and 7,964 workers' weekly tickets over the preceding year. Holiday excursion tickets totalled 903,566, as against 900,091 last year, an increase of 3,475. There was a decrease of 7,161 in the schools, factory, and friendly societies excursion tickets. There have been no alterations in rates or fares during the year.

The goods tonnage was 5,826,265, a decrease of 135,999 tons when compared with the previous year. The decreases were as follows :— Sheep ... ... ... ... ... 98,652 head. Figs ... 19,073 „ Timber ... ... ... 46,438 tons. Minerals ... ... ... ... ... ... 44,436 ~ Other goods ... ... ... ... ... ... 45,125 ~ Cattle show an increase of 31,240 head. The increase is due to the demand for beef for military purposes. The decrease in the number of sheep carried in the North Island was 346,361. The erection of new freezing-works in sheep-producing localities no doubt has had the effect of diverting a proportion of the business to roads in cases where the distance from farm to works is short, but the paucity of oversea ships available for transport of meat, and the consequent congestion of all the freezing-works, has been the greatest factor in the matter of decreased sheep traffic. In the South Island there was an increase of 247,709, where in addition to the fatsheep traffic there were large movements of store sheep from the southern districts to Canterbury. The goods tonnage shows a decrease of 135,999 tons, chiefly in coal and timber. Chaff traffic last year was very heavy owing to abnormal oversea demand resulting in heavy export. Whangarei shows an increase of 2,800 tons of timber, Kaihu 8,000 tons; while Gisborne (3,000 tons), North Island main line (31,000), South Island lines (22,000), Nelson (1,100), Picton, (400), Wakatipu steamers (100) represent the decreases, amounting to 57,600 tons. Minerals: Gisborne (4,000 tons), North Island main line (7,000), and Westport (9,000) represent increases. Whangarei (14,000 tons), South Island main line (41,000), Westland (8,000), Picton (1,000), Nelson (1,000) represent decreases in coal. Net decrease, 44,000 tons. Other goods : Whangarei (2,500 tons), Gisborne (3,200), North Island main hues (27,000), and Picton (8,000), (total 40,700), represent increases, while Kaihu (1,200 tons), South Island main lines (81,000), and Westland (2,800), (total 85,000) represent decreases, leaving net decrease of 45,000 tons. The average number of men employed during the year was 13,708, against 14,968 for the year ended 31st March, 1916. Twenty-five members of the Second Division, were promoted to the First Division; 758 members of the peimanent staff resigned, 92 retired on superannuation, 158 died, 106 were dismissed, and 1,075 engaged. The sum of .£15,710 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 26 new locomotives, 29 bogie cars and 1 rail motor-car, 2 bogie brake-vans, and 433 wagons. Of the new engines added to the stock, 17 were built in the Railway workshops—viz., 7 simple superheated tender engines, Class Ab, and 10 heavy tank engines, Class Ww. Nine simple superheated heavy tender engines, Class Bb, were completed under contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames. Four obsolete tank engines, 2 cars, 2 brake-vans, and 47 wagons were sold or broken up. 517 tarpaulins were condemned and written off. Three heavy tank engines, 1 car, 2 bogie brakevans, 43 wagons, and 517 tarpaulins have already been constructed as replacements; the balance is under construction. The cost of the whole of the replacements is debited to working-expenses. During the year 176 modern steel axles were placed under cars, brake-vans, and wagons in substitution of the old iron type, increasing the carrying-capacity of each wagon by 2 tons. The additional 26 locomotives taken in conjunction with boiler renewals of locomotives in service have increased the tractive power by 570 per cent. The new carriages increase the seating-capacity by 1,486 passengers, or 2 per cent. The new wagons added to the stock give an additional capacity of 4,714 tons, equivalent to an addition of 786 ordinary 6-ton trucks, or 256 per cent, in carrying-capacity. Diagrams showing the increase each year in the tractive-power of engines, seating-capacity of cars, and carrying-capacity of the wagons will be found at the end of the report. The rolling-stock actually on order and in hand on the 31st March comprised 27 locomotives —viz., 9 simple superheated tender engines, Ab; 1 heavy suburban tank engine, Ws; 10 heavy tank engines, Ww; 7 simple superheated tender engines, Bb; 46 carriages, 16 bogie brake-vans, 205 bogie and 978 four-wheeled wagons. The installation of Westinghouse brake on rolling-stock on Westland Section is now in hand. The permanent-way buildings and structures and appliances have been efficiently maintained. The mileage of track relaid during the year was 21£ miles of main line with 701b. material, 7-J miles of branch line with new 55 lb. metals in substitution of 40 lb. metals, and 1 mile of branch line with second-hand metals removed from the main line; a total of 30 miles. This is considerably below the ideal standard fixed at 100 miles per annum, but in view of the abnormal conditions resulting from the war it is essential that the existing stocks be conserved to meet ordinary requirements. 92,419 new sleepers and 239,002 cubic yards of ballast were placed in the track during the year, and over 9,000 tons of rock have been used in strengthening the river protective works on the Midland Railway. Considerable difficulty has been experienced in obtaining structural steel for bridges, but notwithstanding this a number have been strengthened for the running of heavier locomotives. A large number of works having for their object the provision of greater facilities to meet the growing requirements and increase efficiency in working have been completed during the year. These include additions to water-services, wharves, buildings, workshops, station-yards, and increasing the accommodation generally.

During the year the interlocking and tablet systems have been considerably extended. Ten additional stations were equipped with fixed signals and 62 stations with distant signals in addition to their previous equipment of home signals. 295 stations are now equipped with fixed signals and 96 are interlocked; 103 have yet to be dealt with. Eighty-nine electric repeaters have been fitted to signals during the year, making a total of 324 now in use. The electric tablet system is now in use at 376 stations controlling 2,925 miles of single line, and the lock-and-bloek operates at 36 stations over 44 miles of double track. All stations on the North Island Trunk lines, Auckland to Wellington, previously equipped with fixed signals have now been provided with distant signals, and with the exception of nine stations the South Island main lines (Lyttelton-Bluff) have been similarly equipped. This extension of distant signals constitutes a radical improvement in the signalling system, and materially increases the factor of safety where train-crossing has to be effected. Automatic electric warning-bells have been installed at seventeen level crossings during the year. Bells and switches were also installed at two crossings in Christchurch, and a mechanical alarm-bell in Lyttelton Tunnel. Owing to the war it has become almost impossible to obtain electrical material; the very limited stock in hand must therefore be conserved for the maintenance of the appliances already in operation throughout the railway system. Revenue. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £4,800,810, and exceeded last year's earnings by £252,454, and the estimated revenue by ,£350,810. The particulars are as follows:— 1917. 1910. £ £ Passengers, ordinary ... ... ... 1,717,847 1,566,380 Season tickets ... 155,201 156,322 Parcels, luggage, and mails ... 243,832 236,705 Goods ... ... ... 2,498,862 2,423,493 Miscellaneous, rents, (fee. ... 185,068 165,456 £4;800,810 £4,548,356 The gross receipts per train-mile for all lines were 125'75d., as against 116 - 50 d. for the previous year, an increase of 9'25d. per train-mile. The North Island main line and branches produced 123'00d. per train-mile, against 112'25d. for the preceding year, an increase of 10'75d. The receipts per train-mile on the South Island main line and branches were 124'75d., against 117-25 d. last year, an increase of 7'sod. The earnings from the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £7,184, as against £7,243 for the previous year, a decrease of £59. The net earnings per average mile of railway open for traffic increased by £77 per mile—viz., £632, against £555 for the jjreceding year. The net revenue, £1,873,946, was equal to a return of 5 - 30 per cent, onthe capital invested in the lines open for traffic (£35,378,664), and 4 - 91 per cent, on the capital invested on the open and unopened lines (£38,187,173). Expenditure. The working-expenses for the year, which include £6,602, the cost of working the Lake Wakatipu traffic, amounted to £2,926,864, an increase of £15,981 over the expenditure for last year. The ratio of expenditure to earnings was 6097 per cent., against 6400 per cent, for the preceding year, a decrease of 303 per cent. The percentage of expenditure to earnings for the year 1914-15 was 71" 14, therefore the ratio of expenditure to earnings shows a decrease of 1017 per cent, in two years. Diagrams attached to this report illustrate the fluctuations for the last few years in the ratio of expenditure to earnings. The diagrams also show for comparative purposes the net profit* earned by the Australian State railways recently. Expenditure.

The increase in the Locomotive Branch is due to increase in wages, and advance in the cost of fuel, stores, and materials for repairs and upkeep of plant and appliances. The expenditure in the Maintenance Branch shows a decrease when compared with last year. This is due to the inability of the Department to obtain materials for carrying out works authorized, consequently the works have had to stand over meantime. The expenditure per mile of railway was £244, as against £251 for the previous year.

The sum of £45,955 was expended in the Maintenance Branch and charged to Capital Account under the head "Additions to open lines." These comprise additions to station buildings, extension of station-yards, tablet-installation, telegraph and telephone facilities, interlocking of points and crossings, additions and improvements to wharves, purchase of land, waterservices, &c. In the Locomotive Branch the sum of £250,321 was expended in the provision of additional rolling-stock, Westinghouse-brake, steam-heating gear,' electric light for cars, and workshops machinery. The rolling-stock in respect of which the charges were incurred include 23 locomotives. 29 carriages, 58 bogie and 232 four-wheeled wagons completed on the 31st March, and 27 locomotives, 46 carriages, 16 brake-vans, 205 bogie and 956 four-wheeled wagons incomplete but in hand on that date. The operations of the Department in both the Locomotive and Maintenance Branches have been greatly retarded on account of the difficulty in obtaining materials from abroad in fulfilment of orders given at various periods since August, 1914. This has resulted in the suspension for the time being of a large number of essential works for which authority had been given. Future Railway Revenue and Expenditure. Notwithstanding the fact that the year's operations were satisfactory on the whole, there was an absence of that buoyancy which has hitherto been so remarkable a feature of the railway business during the war, and the effects of nearly three years of war manifested themselves, especially towards the close of the year. Passenger traffic gave, clear indications of languishing, the direct result undoubtedly of the absence on service of so many young men, the reduction in the number of oversea passengers arriving at and departing from New Zealand ports, and a spirit of caution in regard to expenditure on unnecessary travel. The goods business is now showing unmistakable signs of the effect of the dearth of oversea shipping and the embargo placed on exports overseas by the British Minister of Munitions, these causes affecting very seriously both the import and export traffic and the railway business at the ports. In view of the above tendencies to restrict business a considerable reduction in gross revenue both in passenger and goods traffic must be anticipated for the coming year, whilst on the other hand, unfortunately, there will be considerable difficulty in effecting any equivalent economy in working owing to the rapidly rising prices of railway material. The serious effects of the enhanced prices on expenditure can be appreciated to some extent by a study of the quotations given below of the increased cost of a few typical lines of commodities used extensively in the Locomotive Branch. In the examples given present prices are compared with normal prices in 1914 : — Canvas for tarpaulins, 1914, Is. Id. per yard, advanced to 3s. per yard; increased cost to Railway Department at normal rate of consumption, £11,500 per annum. Spring steel, £11 15s. to £50 per ton; increased cost, £5,300 per annum. Steel plates, £8 10s. to £50 per ton; increased cost, £16,200 per annum. Bar iron, £10 to £20 per ton; increased cost, £16,880 per annum. Cotton-waste, £30 to £65 per ton; increased cost. £4,500 per annum. Boiler-tubes, sd. to Is. 9d. per foot; increased cost, £21,800 pei- annum. Iron, galvanized, £14 to £70 per ton; increased cost, £16,000 per annum. Pig iron, £4 to £11 per ton; increased cost, £14,000 per annum. Draw-bar springs, ss. to 10s. 3d. per spring; increased cost, £2,500 per annum. Copper plate, £90 to £236 per ton; increased cost, £3,400 per annum. Copper ingot, £80 to £135 per ton ; increased cost, £6,600 per annum. Tin, £170 to £239 per ton ; inoreased cost, £1,200 per annum. Aluminium, £96 to £220 per ton. There are a number of other lines of material used in the railway workshops in large quantities the prices of which have risen practically in the same ratio as the examples quoted above, and as prices have still a strong upward tendency it is impossible to calculate to what extent railway expenditure will be affected by the end of the year, and afterwards. It is very questionable whether the cessation of hostilities will have the immediate effect of cheapening the prices of engineering material, as there will be an urgent demand as soon as peace is declared for such material for reconstruction purposes in Europe. There is, therefore, little prospect of any reduction in railway-operating costs in the near future to compensate for the inevitable loss of revenue. Price of Locomotive Goal. —The increase in the price of coal in New Zealand for locomotive purposes is also a most serious factor in estimating the trend of railway-operating expenditure in the future. Since 1914 the price of West Coast coal (including increased steamer freights) delivered at the main ports, such as Wellington, &c, has increased so as to represent a difference in cost to the railways on an annual consumption of 150,000 tons of over £50,000 per annum. The increased cost to the railways of lignite coal over 1914 prices represents on an annual consumption of 56,000 tons about £10,000. The increased price to the railways on 120.000 tons of Newcastle coal represents an increased cost of £63,000 per annum. The total increased cost to the New Zealand railways of locomotive coal (West Coast, lignite, and Newcastle) at present prices as compared with prices in 1914 represents an additional payment on this item alone of £123,000 per annum. It is noteworthy when comparing the ratio of working-expenses to revenue on the New Zealand railways with the Australian railways that whilst the average cost of locomotive coal in New South Wales (according to figures contained in an official report dated 20th July, 1917) is 9s. 9d. per ton, the average cost of hard coal for the New Zealand railways landed at the main port*
D.—2
VIII
(Wellington, Lyttelton, &o.) is £1 12s. per ton, a difference of £1 2s. 3d. per ton. This difference represents, on the normal yearly consumption on the New Zealand railways of 270,000 tons of hard coal, an increased annual expenditure on coal of about £300,000. New Class Ab Locomotive. Credit is due to the Chief Mechanical Engineer and his staff for the success of the new locomo tive, Class Ab, built and brought into traffic operation since the last report. The engines are simple superheated tender engines of the Pacific type. It is anticipated now they have been adopted as a standard type that the Ab engines will cost at least £1,000 less to build per engine than the Class A. four-cylinder compound passenger-engine which the Ab is designed to take the place of. The Ab engine has in addition proved itself at least 20 per cent, more economical than the Class A type in the consumption of coal and water whilst hauling considerably increased loads on express trains in the South Island. The new engine is more convenient for repair on the road, and it is anticipated that it will be considerably more economical to maintain. Photographs of this engine and the new tank engine are attached to the report. Grade-easements . The principal ruling gradients between Auckland and Mercer have now been eased, and marked economy in working has resulted. The Kakariki deviation was completed, and a considerable saving in train-mileage effected. The expenditure incurred on these works was £28,175. Reclamation at Auckland. The reclamation of St. George's Bay has been completed. The new engine-shed has been finished and a portion of the new station-sidings laid. The amount expended on the work during the year was £148,915, bringing the total amount spent already up to £301,677. The negotiations for settlement of the claims of owners of land who will be disturbed by the Department's scheme have progressed considerably. A number of settlements were made during the year. Although the congestion at Auckland has been somewhat relieved by the completion of the reclamation, no really material benefit will be obtained until the new line Auckland to Westfield has been completed. Railway Improvements. The amount expended in connection with works authorized by the Railways Improvements Authorization Act, 1914, and charged to capital account was £225,597. In my special report of 1914 reference was made to the difficulties then being experienced as a result of the lack of facilities and accommodation at various important centres, and a scheme of works was submitted having for its object the removal of the disabilities under which the Department and the users of the railways were alike labouring. It was estimated that five years would be required to complete the scheme, and emphasis was laid on the desirability of making an early and comprehensive start on the programme. Further reference was made to the subject in my reports of 1915 and 1916, but up to the present sufficient funds have not been available to enable a satisfactory commencement to be made. Notwithstanding the unprecedented conditions resulting from the war the railway business has expanded by 20 per cent, in the four years that have elapsed since the original report was written, and I am strongly of opinion that at least the pre-war rate of progression will continue. It is indeed, to my mind, practically a certainty that as soon as the difficulties now obtaining in respect to shipping are removed and peace conditions again prevail a considerable impetus will be given to New Zealand staple products and industries. This will undoubtedly result in greatly increased demand for railway transport, and very grave difficulties must arise through lack of facilities for the efficient handling and carrying-on of the traffic. It is apparent that facilities that were insufficient to deal with the traffic in 1914 will be hopelessly inadequate in another five years' time when the traffic will be at least 50 per cent, greater than it was in 1914. It is impossible to now make up for the time lost, but if a sufficiency of funds is provided without further delay the Department will be enabled to make all the preliminary arrangements required, and to vigorously prosecute the works without intermission immediately materials and men are obtainable. The postponement of the financial arrangements until the last moment will accentuate the difficulty arising from time already lost. The serious prosecution of the new works referred to immediately peace is declared will aflord an opportunity for the profitable and prompt employment of a large number of returned soldiers. Railwaymen at the Front. From the Ist April until November, 1916, the date the Military Service Act came into opera tiou, 1,066 railwaymen, members of the permanent staff, volunteered for service with the colours. This brought the total number of members of the permanent staff enlisted up to 3,000. Taking cognizance of the enlistment of the casual hands who regularly work for the Department, the railwaymen already released for military service total 5,500, representing 30 per cent, of the normal staff. Prior to November, 1916, the Department had not found it necessary to restrict volunteering except in the case of a few specially trained experts engaged on important duties. The near approach
D.—2
IX
of the busy season for all classes of railway business compelled the Department to reluctantly intimate its inability to agree to the further decrease of the number of trained and experienced hands until after Easter. The Department nevertheless fully realized the vital importance of releasing more men at the earliest moment, and with that end in view has carefully revised the train time-table and submitted to the Government proposals having for their object the release at regular intervals of drafts aggregating 1,000 additional railwaymen if that number was-able to satisfactorily pass the military tests. The scheme, which necessarily involved curtailment of train services, received a great deal of close attention. All services have been co-ordinated to ensure as far as practicable the least inconvenience to the users of the railways. The ability of the Department to maintain the normal train services up to the end of the financial year in spite of the depleted staff was to a great extent due to the loyal and cheerful service of all grades of the Railway employees. With the continued enlistment of the staff for military service to the extent above indicated the curtailed train service under contemplation can only be undertaken satisfactorily during the summer months, when the live-stock and grain traffic entails much special running, by the most complete and loyal co-operation of all members of the Railway service. The effort required when the business is heavy in the summer will entail longer hours and considerable sacrifice on the part of all concerned, and specially upon the depleted staff in the traffic working and running branches; but the manner in which the staff have met their obligations in the past leaves no ground for doubt that they will carry out ungrudgingly their share of the extra obligations thrown upon them on account of the war, and perform their duties cheerfully as a national service. I have, &c, E. H. Hiley, The Hon. the Minister of Railways. General Manager.
MAINTENANCE. Mr. F. W. Mac Lean, Chief Engineer, reports as follows : — I submit the following report on the Maintenance Branch for the year ended 31st March, 1917. The track, buildings, structures, and appliances have been maintained in good order and repair. Permanent-way. —The relaying during the year has been as follows : — Main and branch lines, 53 lb. and 56 lb. steel and 70 lb. iron rails relaid Miles, with new 701b. materials ... ... ... ... ... 21| Branch lines, 401b. relaid with new 551b. material ... ... ... 1\ Branch lines relaid with second-hand material removed from main line ... 1 Total relaying for the year ... ... ... 30 The amount of relaying is much below the average of recent years, but as fresh supplies of rails have not been available the existing stocks have had to be conserved. It seems unlikely that further supplies of relaying-material can be obtained at an early date, and the amount of relaying will probably have to be curtailed still further in the ensuing year. . Sleepers. —92,4l9 new sleepers were placed in the track during the year. In addition to this a large number of serviceable second-hand sleepers were used in renewals. Ballasting. —239,oo2 cubic yards of ballast were placed in the track during the year. The scarcity of labour has prevented more of this class of work being carried out. Slips and Floods. —Towards the end of 1916, and in February, 1917, heavy rains in the Auckland Province caused numerous slips and washouts in the W 7 hangarei, Kaihu, Kaipara, Main Line, and Thames Railways, and consequent delays to traffic. The greatest trouble was experienced in the Kaipara district, in the northern part of which the railway was closed for about a month. It will take a considerable time for the railway-works to be restored to normal conditions. In November the Whangamomona Branch had to be closed for five days owing to extensive flooding and slips. Slips and washouts were also experienced in the Gisborne, Picton, Otago Central, and other districts. Over 9,000 tons of rock have been used in strengthening the river-protective works on the Midland Railway. In August and September heavy storms did considerable damage to the protective works at Oamaru foreshore. Every effort was made to carry out repairs expeditiously to minimize inconvenience to the public. Bridges. —These have been maintained in good condition. A number of bridges have been strengthened for the running of heavier engines. This work has been delayed owing to the difficulty of obtaining structural steel. Water-services. —These have been maintained in good order Additional storage has been provided and improvements effected at a number of stations. Wharves. —The widening of George Street Pier, Port Chalmers, has been completed.

The principal works undertaken were: Auckland —new engine-sheds; Newmarket—new car and wagon shops; Johnsonville—new station building; Picton—new locomotive depot and workshops. Station-yards. —Additional accommodation has been provided and a number of stations rearranged. The works include Auckland, Ohakune, Kakariki, Smart Road, Te Roti, Johnsonville, Ashburton, and Prebbleton. Railway Improvements .—Auckland Station : The reclamation of St. George's Bay has been completed. The new engine-shed has been finished, and a portion of the new station-sidings laid. Auckland-Mercer grade-easements : With the completion of the Manurewa Bank improvement the principal ruling gradients have now been eased, and marked economy in working as well as improved running of trains have been effected. Expenditure on this work during the year amounted to £25,941. Feilding-Marton grade-easements : The Kakariki deviation was completed during the year, and a substantial saving in train-mileage effected. Additions to Open Lines. —The expenditure under this heading during the year was £46,155, the principal works being : Signalling and interlocking, block-working, telegraph and telephone facilities, &c, additional siding accommodation, Gisborne; rearrangement Johnsonville (part), Ohakune (part), Kakariki (part), Ashburton (part); new locomotive-engine depot, Picton (part); wharf-shed, Opua; widening- George Street Pier, Port Chalmers (part); office accommodation for depot chargeman, Greymouth, Nelson; water-service, Belgrove; improved stockyard accommodation, Otiria Junction; pit for car-shop, Nelson; brake-shed lavatory accommodation, Whangarei; purchase of land, Gisborne, Prebbleton, Fordell, Taumarunui, Carterton, Omimi, Petone, Riverton, Hayward's.

The works include —Additions and improvements to station buildings, yards, sidings, &c, Swanson (part), Smart Road (part), Taumarunui, Frankton Junction, Inglewood, Featherston (part), Thorndon (part), Lincoln, Lyttelton (part), Ranfurly, Oturehua; rearrangements, Ashburton (part), Prebbleton (part), Dalefield (part); deviation and duplication, Ravensbourne (part); overbridge, Otago Central; public station at 5Jm., HuntlyAwaroa (part); improved station approach, Stratford; shunting-legs, <fee, Feilding, Halcombe, Greatford, Morven, Woodville, Temuka; workshop additions, &c, East Town (part), Petone, Addington; installation electric power, Addington Shops; improved lighting (electric), station buildings, (fee, Rotorua, Trentham, Thorndon, Invercargill; stockyard improvements, Marton and Stratford; new houses, Pukekohe, 5Jm., Huntly-Awaroa (part); hot-water services installed in seventeen cottages; 30-cwt. crane, Levin; engine-shed extension, Cross Creek; goods-shed additions, Te Kuiti; stores and orderly-rooms for Railway Battalions, Frankton Junction, Palmerston North, Timaru, Greymouth; improved drainage, Taihape, Morniugside; waterservice improvements, Palmerston North, Otaki, Hunterville, Hihitahi, Morrinsville; Pintschgas holder, Frankton Junction; Waiteti Viaduct, strengthening (part); additions to Traffic Offices, Wellington; porters' room, Hastings; dredging-booms, Dargaville. Expenditure. —The expenditure for the year was as follows : — £ Maintenance, charged to working-expenses ... ... 720,840 New works, charged to capital ... ... ... ... 271,752 Other Government Departments, public bodies, and private parties 22,518 Total expenditure ... ... ... ... £1,015,110 The maintenance expenditure, charged to working-expenses, amounted to £243 10s. per mile, compared with £251 per mile in 1915-16, and £254 per mile in 1914-15. When supplies of rails, structural steel, and other materials now difficult or impossible to procure can be obtained the expenditure will have to be increased to overtake arrears of work. Meanwhile every effort is being made to carry out in advance of requirements repair and renewal work for which materials can be obtained. The extent to which this can be done has been limited owing to scarcity of labour. Mileage. —No new lines have been opened during the year. The mileage open for traffic on the 31st March, 1917, therefore is the same—2,969 miles 77 chains. Lands and Leases. —Number of leases registered during the year, 427; annual rental, £2,897. Leases current at 31st March, 1917, 5,385; annual rental, £35,824. Private siding agreements registered during the year, 79; annual rental, £2,374. Private siding agreements current at 31st March, 1917, 418; annual rental, £10,085. Proclamations taking or giving up land, 46. Total amount of compensation paid during the year for land, £82,213. iStaj7.--Maintenance Branch working staff, 3,718; office staff, 152: total, 3,870.

The expenditure for the year on signalling and interlocking works was as follows : New works, £22,584 os. lid.; maintenance, £13,317 Is. 4d. Block-working (Electric Tablet). During the year sixteen additional tablet instruments and thirty-seven miles of line have been fitted with electric-tablet working and brought into use, embracing the Rangiora-Waikari and Hornby-Lincoln Sections; also Kakariki and Smart Road have been installed as switch-out stations in place of Bell Block and Rangitikei Bridge. The total mileage now equipped with tablet apparatus is 1,657 miles of single line, out of 2,925 miles of single line open for traffic. The number of tablet instruments now in use is 900, at 376 stations. Eleven automatic tablet-exchangers have been installed at nine additional stations. The total now in use is 345. Lock and Block. During the year the electric lock-and-block system for double-line working has worked satisfactorily. The total mileage equipped is forty-four miles of double line. Lock-and-block instruments in use, eighty, at thirty-six stations. Parnell tunnel-box has been converted to a switch-out during the year. Telegraph and Telephone Facilities.

The variations of traffic in the individual districts were approximately as under :— Auckland. —Revenue, £934,451; increase, £77,169. Passengers decreased 93,161. The traffic was affected by bad weather conditions causing floods and slips. There was also some reduction in the northern suburban area on account of tramway competition. In the southern portion of the district the business improved. Season tickets increased 6,643. Parcels revenue increased £3,147. Cattle and calves increased 19,365; but sheep and pigs decreased 6,800. Timber decreased 9,257 tons. General goods increased 27,890 tons, and minerals 9,465 tons.

Average Late Arrival of Trains, Year ended 31st March, 1917.
LOCOMOTIVE. Mr. H. H. Jackson, Chief Mechanical Engineer, reports as follows :— Locomotives. —On the Ist April, 1916, there were 585 engines in service, and on the 31st March, 1917, there were 607 engines. Four second-hand tank engines were sold and written off. Twenty-six new engines were added to stock. Of the new engines added to stock seventeen were built in the Government railway workshops, and comprised seven Pacific type simple superheated tender engines, Class Ab, and ten 4-6-4 (Baltic type) heavy tank engines, Class Ww; nine 4-8-0 simple superheated heavy tender engines, Class Bb, were completed under contract with Messrs.

The following table shows the work done on brake-vans during the year : —
Included in the above is one brake-van rebuilt for a private line. Sixteen bogie vans are under construction. Wagons. —The wagon stock on the Ist April, 1916, consisted of 21,554 vehicles, and the number on the 31st March, 1917, was 21,940. Twenty-nine worn-out wagons were broken up and written off, six wagons were sold to the Public Works Department, and twelve second-hand wagons were sold to private companies. Four hundred and thirty-three new wagons were built and added to stock. Of this number, 390 were additional stock, and the balance, forty-three, was to replace wagons sold and wagons worn out and written off. The carrying-capacity of wagon stock was increased by 4,714 tons, equal to 256 per cent., or an equivalent of 786 ordinary wagons. The following table gives particulars of work done on wagons during the year : —
One thousand one hundred and eighty-three wagons were under construction in the railway workshops at the close of the year, and comprised 205 bogie and 978 four-wheel wagons. Tarpaulins.— -The tarpaulin stock on the Ist April, 1916, was 17,282, and on the 31st March, 1917, the number was 17,532. Two hundred and sixty-two new tarpaulins were made in railway workshops, 250 being additional stock, and 12 for the Public Works Department; 517 worn-out tarpaulins were condemned and written off and replaced with a similar number of new tarpaulins. The following table gives details of the work on tarpaulins for the year :—
One thousand and fifty tarpaulins were being manufactured in the railway workshops at the close of the year. Stationary Engines and Cranes. —The repairs and renewals during the year were as follows :—
Axles. —During the year 176 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 Westland Section is 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 airbrake is in operation are equipped with it before being put into service.

Gar-lighting. —The oil-gas manufactured at the five separate Pintsch-gas works during the year amounted to 11,466,500 cubic feet, and cost to manufacture 2s. 7"10 d. per 100 cubic feet, the increase in cost of production being due to increased charges for oil owing to war conditions. On sections not provided with Pintsoh gas all cars are lighted with acetylene gas. Motor-cars. —The motor-cars in use on the Culverden-Hanmer service have been kept in good and efficient working-order. Bail Motor-cars. —The Thomas transmission-rail motor-car was erected during the year and employed on suburban services. The Westinghouse petrol-electric rail motor-car has also been employed on suburban services. Steamers. —The Railway Department's steamers on Lake Wakatipu service have been maintained in good working-order. Benewah and Replacements. —During the year four second-hand tank engines, two cars, one brake-van, and eighteen wagons were sold, and one brake-van and twenty-nine worn-out wagons were written off; also 517 worn-out tarpaulins were condemned and written off. To replace the engines and rolling-stock sold or written off three heavy tank engines, one car, two bogie brake-vans, and forty-three w r agons were built, and 517 tarpaulins were made. To replace the remaining wagons sold new stock is under construction. Train Running and, Mileage. —There has been a decrease in train-mileage amounting to 210,191 miles as compared with 1915-16. This has been due chiefly to the provision of new and more powerful locomotives. There has been a decrease in the engine-mileage of 424,033 miles as compared with 1915-16. The decrease is partly due to the lesser number of work-trains supplied and the use of Class An locomotives, mentioned in my last report. More of these engines have been built, and there are now twelve of this type at work. These locomotives are cheaper in first cost than the Class A locomotives, haul greater loads, and are much more economical to work and maintain. A heavy tank engine, with boiler, cylinders, wheels, &c, interchangeable with the Ab, is almost completed, and will be used for the heavy passenger trains on the grades between Taihape and Taumarunui and Wellington-Paekakariki. The following table shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile : —
STORES. Mr. H. Baxter, Comptroller of Stores, reports as follows: — The value of stores, material, and plant (purchased, under the Railway vote) on hand at the 31st Maich, 1917, at the various stores, depots, and sawmills amounted to £392,597 13s. Bd., as against £428,065 15s. sd. on the 31st March, 1916. The value of stores on hand on account of additions to open lines amounted to £15,212 6s. Bd., as against £25,945 ss. 6d. on the 31st March, 1916. The whole of the; stock is in good order, has been carefully and systematically inspected, and is valued for the amounts stated.
