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

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting the Railways Statement for the year ended 31st March, 1918, I have pleasure in announcing that, notwithstanding the conditions existing throughout the whole year, the gross receipts amounted to £4,687,700, an advance of £487,700 on the estimated revenue. The following gives a summary of the results compared with the previous year : — Year 1918. Year 1917. £ £ Total earnings .. .. ..4,087,700 4,800.810 Total expenditure .. .. 3,042,907 2,926,864 Net profit on working. . £l, 644,79:5 £l, 873,946 The mileage of lines open for traffic on the 31st March was 2,993. The following extensions were opened during the year : — M. eh.

The net revenue (£1,644,793) is equal to a return of 4-60 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for traffic, and 4-24 per cent, em the capital (£38,798,163) invested in the opened and unopened lines. The gross receipts per train-mile from the North island main line and branches were 150-25 d., against 123-OOd. last year, an increase of 27-25 d. The South Island main line and branches produced a gross return of 149-25 d., against 124-75 d. last year, an increase of 24-50 d. The gross earnings per train-mile for all lines amounted to 150-50 d., against 125-75 d. for the previous year, an advance of 24-75 d. per train-mile. The expenditure for the year (£3,042,907) was £116,043 more than the previous year, and £99,407 over the estimate, £2,943,500. The percentage of working-expenses to earnings was 64-91 per cent., against 60-97 per cent, last year, an increase of 3-94 per cent. The sum of £202,130 was expended under the head " Additions to Open Lines " in providing additional rolling-stock, tarpaulins, workshops machinery, Westinghouse brake, steam-heating gear, interlocking, telegraph, telephone, and tablet facilities, purchase of land, &c.

During the year 21 new locomotives, 9 carriages, 4 brake-vans, and 149 wagons, and 100 tarpaulins were completed and put into traffic ; and 15 locomotives, 38 carriages, 12 brake-vans, 175 bogie and 875 four-wheeled wagons, and 950 tarpaulins were in hand on the 81st March. EESULTS OF WORKING. The following is a summary of the results of working for the year ending 31st March, 1918, as compared with 1917 : —

With a view to mitigating to some extent the disabilities under which the lowerpaid members of the Railway service labour in respect of the enhanced cost of living, a war allowance at the rate of £15 per annum was granted to married members of the First Division in receipt of salaries not exceeding £220 per annum, and. Is. per day to all married members of the Second Division. These allowances became operative em the 9th December, 1.917, anel are in addition to the war bonus granted on the, Ist April, 1916, to members of the Railway staff in receipt of not more than £315 per annum and still in operation. The actual expenditure involved in the allowance and bonus is £2110,034,

The volume and movement of railway business were detrimentally affected by the retardation of overseas shipping consequent em the war conditions. Our local manufacturers were unable to procure essential materials from abroad, freezing-works and stores were blocked, and the movement of live-stock and the products of other staple industries were restricted, and the result is reflected in the railway receipts for the year. The year has been one eif exceptional difficulty to the Department, but the same policy has been carried out as was inaugurated at the commencement of the war. That policy may be stated in the following terms : (I) Tei release for duty at the front as many fit men as possible among the employees of the Department, consistent with carrying on the absolutely essential business eif the Dominion ; (2) to satisfy the requirements of the Defence Department with respect to transport of men and stores with promptness and despatch ; (3) to transport to the various ports of the Dominion as (prickly as possible all munitions of war and foodstuffs purchased by the Imperial Government, and all other goods required for the maintenance and support eif the Allied Armies or peoples ; (4) to maintain a st.'ong financial position; (5) subject to the above conditions, tei give the best service possible to the people eif the Dominion. In order to carry out the first item of the policy it was found imperatively necessary to curtail railway services. Accordingly, all non-essential train services, especially those for pleasure or recreation, had tei be eliminated, and the travelling-facilities generally considerably reduced. All essential business has, however, been carried on without serious inconvenience e>r loss. VI would further point out that even if there had been no shortage eif staff due to releasing men for war purposes, the serious shortage of coal during the year under review would have compelled an elimination of those train services that were non-essential. When travelling-conditions in New Zealand are compared with the real hardships imposed on the users of the railways in the Homeland in order to liberate men for military services the restrictions imposed in the Dominion sink into comparative insignificance. It is pleasing to record that the majority of the users of our railways have been patriotic and public-spirited enough tei regard such, inconveniences as they have had to suffer as a war service rendered to the Empire. I do not anticipate that any material improvement will take place in the shipping during the current year, and am constrained, therefore, to take a conservative view in forecasting the revenue and expenditure for the year ending the 31st March, 1919. Having regard to the existing circumstances 1 estimate the revenue at £4,725,000, and the expenditure at £3,244,231. With reference to the financial position, J am pleased to be able to say that the position is excellent, as will be seen from a study of the tables attached to this report. The interest earned on, capital invested, though, not quite so high as that of the previous record year, is very good, and compares favourably with the returns shown in. the Australian States. A. study of the comparative statements on page iv will show that the financial results of the working of the New Zealand railways during the war period are superior in nearly every respect to those of the railways of the Australian States. .During the year under review the whole of the war bonus granted in the previous year was charged against the workingexpenses of the .Department, instead of being paid by the Treasury out of a separate fund, as in the previous year. This amount and. that portion of the allowance to married men previously mentioned which came into the financial year added a sum of about £230,000 to the expenditure of the year under review. 'I 1*) meet this extra expenditure a 10-per-cent. increase was made on. fares anel freights, with certain exceptions, which increase came into eiperation em the 25th November, 1917. Certain anomalies of long standing with, respect to freights were alsei adjusted. The greatest care has been taken to strictly limit the expenditure upon new works, additions to buildings, &c, and 1 regret to say that many reasonable requests from users of the railways for improvements have had to be refused in consequence. The addition of the bonus and allowances for married, men, arid the enormous increase in the cost of materials, as shown in detail in the General Manager's report, made an, increase in expenditure inevitable, despite the utmost care. Notwithstanding these facts, the total, increase in gross expenditure in, four years of the war from the 31st March, 1914, to the 31st March, 1918, is only £162,584, which is not a large sum considering the bonus given and the increase in the price of material, and compares very favourably with the increases in gross expenditure in such States as New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia.

.!).—2.

Notwithstanding the fact that prudence and the exigencies of the moment impel me to make a conservative estimate for the ensuing year, I desire to again emphasize the desirability of making adequate provision tei enable the scheme of works outlined in the General Manager's special report of 1914 to be commenced as soon as it is practicable to obtain men and materials and pushed on vigorously until finished. Unless this is done it is obvious, from the development that has taken place in the railway traffic despite the four years of war conditions, that very serious congestion of business will inevitably occur as soon as normal conditions are again restored. I desire to place on record my sincere appreciation of the loyal and valuable services rendered by the Railway staff during a year of exceptional difficulties. SUPERANNU ATI ON FUND. The total amount standing to the credit of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund at the end of the financial year was £373,098, a decrease of £4,487 on the balance to the credit, of the fund on the 3.lst March, 1917. The gross income for the year was £.123,927 6s. 6d., and the eiutgoing amount £128,414. Of the latter sum. £95,971 representee! grants to 1,046 members of the service who have retired voluntarily or have been retired medically unfit, and. 280 widows and 377 children who are dependants on deceased contributors to the fund who were members of the service at the time eif their death. The income from the actual contributions of members totalled £81,250, or £17,074 less than the estimated annual liability. The receipts are, however, augmented by the Government subsidy of £25,000, anel amounts received by way eif interest on funds invested and fines imposed under the regulations, and a donation : these amounted tei £17,678.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. Sin, N.Z. Government Railways, Head Ofliee, Wellington, 31st October, 1918. I have the honour to report on the working of the New Zealand railways for the financial year eiiele-d 31st March, 1918. The total mileage of lines eipen feir traffic at the close of the- year was 2,993 miles, an increase of 23 miles, which represents extensions opened for traffic during the year. These were — M. oh. Matawai-Motuhora ... ... ... ... ... ■■■ 1 62 Waiuku Branch (Paerata-Patumahoe) ... ... ..." ... 5 0 Raetihi Branch (Ohakune Junction — Raetihi) ... .. ... 8 38 WhangauKjmona-Kohuratahi ... ... ... ... ... 4 50 Total ' 22 70 'the capital invested in the lines open for traffic, including the plant and steamers on Lake Wakatipu, on the 31st March was .£36,001,432, as against .£35,378,661 for the previous year, an increase of ,£622,768. This represents ceist eif construction of new sections of railway taken over from the Public Works Department, £307,277; expenditure on new works chargeable against Capital Account under Additions to Open Lines, £200,1.62; Railway Improvement. Authorization Act, 1911, .£.11.1,721; and £3,608 expended on railways and wharves in the Greymouth and Westport districts. The gross receipts amounted to £1,687,700, against £4,800,810 for the previous year. The net revenue, £1,644,793, is equal to a return of 460 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines opened for traffic, and 424 per cent, on the total capital invested in the opened and unopened lines. The train-mileage for the year (7,468,646 miles) was 1,677,685 miles less than the preceding year. Passenger and mixed trains decreased 1,264,710 miles, and goods-trains 412,975 miles. The reduction em the North Island main lines and branches was 984,000 miles, and in the South Island. 693,000 miles, due to drastic curtailment of services and severe restriction of gooels traffic for three weeks in April and May, 1917, under the coal-saving time-table, and by a reduced service brought into operation on the 14th May, 1917, for the purpose of enabling the Department to continue releasing drafts of men for service with the military forces at the front. The curtailment of trains under the staff-saving scheme was less drastic than under the coalsaving time-table, but it nevertheless involved the suspension eif one through express train each way between Auckland and Wellington, and between Christchureh and Inyercargill; reduction of week-day suburban services; the discontinuance of Sunday suburban trains, and abolition of all excursion trains and trains to and from racecourses, sports meetings, picnics, &c, and limiting the hours' during which the lines would be open so as to avoid night shifts as far as possible. The deorease in the goods-train mileage is due partly to the falling-off in goods anel live-stock traffic, anel partly to economy resulting from grade easements anel the use.of larger engines. Train services were disorganized by floods and slips, involving in some cases suspension of trains and serious delays in others. On the 28th May floeids in South Otago anel Southland affected nearly all lines south eif Mosgicl. In conseepienoe through traffic was suspended on the 28th, 29th, and 30th May, but on the 31st idem all the principal lines were again open for traffic, but. some of the smaller branches were not cleared until the 2nd June. On the 11th June, on the Gisborne line, slips caused a blockage between Mahaki and Otoko, passengers having to be transferred. Further slips and washouts occurred on the 13th and 14th June, from the 2nd to the 15th August, and from the sth to the Bth March. From the 12th to the 14th June traffic was suspended beltween Napier anel Hastings owing to heavy floods. The mail-train was able to get through to Napier on the evening of the 14th June. Prom the 14th to the 17th June traffic on the Foxton line was interrupted through floods between Foxton and Rangiotu. A subsidence of the Kaipara line near Wellsford on the lGth July caused interruption of traffic till the 21st idem. On the Whangarei Section the line was blocked near Hukerunui on the Bth and 9th August through floods. On the Ilth and 13th September the Midland line was blocked by slips between Avoca and Staircase. Traffic on the Outram Branch was disorganized on the 27th and 28th September owing to ihioels, and on the 9th and lOlli October it was again blocked by further floods. Owing to damage to the bridge at Waitahu the weekly trains between Reefton and Inangahua Junction were suspended from the 29th September to the 13th October. Traffic on the Rewanui line (Westland Section) was interrupted on the Bth, 22nd, and 27th October by slips. On the Ist January heavy floods on the Westland Section interrupted the traffic on the Reefton, Rewanui, and Otira lines. By the afternoon of the 2nd January ordinary traffic was resumed except on the Rewanui line, where, on account of the coal-bins having been destroyed by a slip, a reduced time-table was in operation till the enel of January. Damage to bridges by floods caused a suspension of the ordinary traffic between Hope and Bright water, on the Nelson Section, from the 19th to the 30th March inclusive. Traffic was maintained by trains on each side of the break, and passengers transferred by road to make the connection. Washouts occurred at Taringamotu on the Ilth January and 11th February, at Otane on the 11th January; and floods on the Kingston line on the 20th March, and Switzers Branch on the 21st March.

The following figures, which give the- record of the late arrivals 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, run well up to time :-— Average Late Arrival Mia. Mm. Long-distance passenger-trains .. .. .. 3-14 against 2-38 last year. Suburban trains .. .. .. .. ■■ 0-62 ~ 0-36 ~ Long-distance mixed trains .. .. .. 1--34- ~ 3-10 ~ The number of ordinary passengers carried during the year was 11,408,156, a decrease of 2,764,959. Season tickets issued numbered 322,487, a decrease of 33,345. Workers' twelve-trip tickets numbered 58,130, a decrease of 33,779. Workers' weekly suburban tickets numbered 205,139, an increase of 4,836. The decrease in the passenger traffic is attributable to cancellation of all excursiem fares, reduction of train services, and the curtailment of travelling facilities for pleasure and nonessential purposes, as war measures to release staff for service abroad, and to conserve coal and material. The goods anel live stuck tonnage was 5,742,968, a decrease of 496,105 when compared with the previous year. The decreases are as follows: — Cattle ... ... ... ... ... ... ... 40,635 head. Sheep .. ... ... ... ... ... ... 749,813 ~ Pigs ... 17,641 ~ Timber ... ... ... ... ... •■■ 55,644 tons. Mnierals ... ... ... ... ... 214,947 ~ Other goods ... ... ... ... ... . ... 182,538 ~ The decrease in cattle was chiefly in the North Island. Sheep, however, increased by 135,800 head in the North and decreased by 885,000 in the South Island. The season generally was unl'aveiurabale for fattening stock, but the falling-ofi in the business is attributable mainly to the freezing-works being glutted consequent on inability to obtain a sufficiency of ships to meet the requirements of export-meat trade. Although the freezing companies increased their storage, the shortage of shipping resulted in congestion of the stores, retarding the operations, and reduced the capacity of the works. The timber trade has been hampered by the shortage of labour and shipping, which has interfered with the export trade. The mineral traffic was affected by labour trouble at, the coal-mines in the early part of the year, by the difficulty in securing a sufficiency of shipping for the importation of coal from Australia in the usual quantity, anel by the restriction of roaelwork causing a reduction in the quantity of road-metal carried. The decrease in other goods may be attributed to the shortage of shipping. The imports and exports at all the: principal ports sheiw a falling-ofi when compared, with best year. 'flu: average number of men employed during the year was 13,002, against 13,708 for the previous year. Thirteen members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division; 896 members of the permanent stall resigned, 67 retired on superannuation, 196 died, 109 were dismissed, and 523 engaged. The sum of £15,877 was paid under the Workers' Compensation feir 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 eif 21 new locomotives, 9 beigie cars, 4 bogie brake-vans, and 149 wagons. Of the new engines added to the stock, 14 were built in the Government Railway Workshops, and comprised 7 simple superheated tender engines, Class An, 2 heavy suburban tank engines, Class Wab, and 5 heavy tank engines, Class Ww. Seven simple superheated heavy tender engines, Class Bb, were completed under contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames. Three second-hand tank engines were sold, and 1 tank engine was condemned. One car and 16 wagons were sold and written off, and 692 tarpaulins were condemned, written off, and replaced with a similar number of new tarpaulins. The rolling-stock actually on order and in hand at the end of the year comprised 15 locomeitives, 38 cars, 12 bogie brake-vans, 175 bogie and 875 four-wheeled wagons. Owing to the difiiculty in obtaining material the work has been considerably retarded, and the prospects for the near future in the matter of obtaining construction material from abroad are not encouraging. During the year 512 modern car, van, and wagon axles were substituted for the old iron type, increasing the carrying-capacity of each vehicle by 2 tons. The 21 additional locomotives taken in conjunction with boiler-renewals of locomotives in service has increased the tractive power by I'll per cent. The new wagons give an additional capacity of 2,547 tons, equivalent to an addition of 425 ordinary 6-ton trucks, or 135 per cent, in carrying-capacity. The permanent-way structures, buildings, and appliances have been efficiently maintained. 134 miles eif track were relaid during the: year with new 701b. material. This is, however, mud below the fixed standard, owing to the: difficulty in obtaining material and the necessity foi conserving the stock to meet any emergencies that may arise. A contract has been entered iute for the: supply of rails, bul the prospect of an early delivery is not promising. 93,480 new sleepers and Mi 1,807 cubic yards of ballast were replaced in the track during the year. The difficulty experienced in obtaining material lias retarded the work of strengthening the bridges, anel the removal of the- restrictions as to the use of the heavier type of locomotives oi certain portions of the main lines has in consequence had to be deferred. A considerable number of improvements have been made in the accommodation at various Stations. Interlocking and signal appliances have' been exteneled; water-services, sidings, statin] yards, and dwellings have been enlarged or improved to suit requirements. Fixed signals have been installed at 9 additional stations, and 15 stations have been equipped with distant signal in addition tei previous equipment of home signals. Distant signals have now been erected a all stations where- home signals were provided em the North and South Island main lines iron

Auckland to Bluff. Of the total number of officered stations, 305 are equipped with fixed signals, 97 are interlocked, anel 90 have yet to be dealt with. This impeirtanl work has been carried out under considerable difficulties owing to scarcity of labour and materials, hut ils completion increases the safety of the everyday operations. Speoial switch-locks have been fitted at, 11 additional stations during the- year. The electrical tablet system is,now operating at 376 stations, controlling 1,657 miles of single I rack, and the lock-anel-block system operates over 43 miles of double line. The railway telegraph and telephone systems were extended during the year, and now rumprise 281 Morse sets. 1,633 telephones, 280 electric bells, 2,606 miles of pules, and 7,077 miles of wire. Automatic warning-bells have been installed ;it 7 additional level crossings, making a total of 30 crossings so equipped, Eleotric lighting has been installed at a number of stations,'workshops, railway dwelling houses anel offices. R EvENUH. The gross revenue for the year amounted to .£4,687,700, a decrease eif £113,110 when com pared with last year's earnings, but £487,700 above the estimated revenue.

The: war bonus for the year 1916-17, which amounted to £189,606, was, as mentioned in last year's statement, charged to a special vote, and was not included in the working-expenses for that year; whereas this year that amount, as well as the war allowance of £34,000, has been charged against; working-expenses. The war bonus and allowance are esl imated to cost £350,000 per annum. The increased expeneliture in the Traffic Branch, Heael ami Departmental Offices, resulted mainly from regulation scale increases under the Classification Act, and the war bonus and allowance granted to the members of the staff. The increase in the Locomotive Branch is due to increases in wages, war bonus, and war allowances, and the 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 the previous year, this being due lo inability lo obtain rails and other materials for carrying out works authorized, consequently the works are- in abeyance meantime. The expenditure per mile eif railway was £239, as against £244 for last year. The sum of £53,049 was expended in the Maintenance Branch and charged to oapital account under (he head "Additions to open lines." These comprise additions to station buildings, extension of station-yards, additions lo workshops, tablet installation, telegraph and telephone facilities, interlocking of points and crossings, deviations and duplications, additions to wharves, and purchase of land.

In (he Locomotive Branch £149,081 was expended in the provision of additional rolling-stock, Westinghouse brake, steam-heating gear, and workshops machinery. The rolling-stock in respect of which the charges were* incurred under the heael " Adelitions to Open Lines " included 20 locomotives, !) carriages, 4 brake-vans, 30 bogie and 107 four-wheeled wagons completed on the 31st March, and 15 locomotives, 37 carriages, 12 brake-vans, 175 bogie anel 849 four-wheeled wagons incomplete but in hand em that date. . As mentiemed in last year's report, the operations in both the Maintenance anel Locomotive Branches are greatly retarded owing lo the difficulty in obtaining materials from abroad in fulfilment of orders given at various periods before' and since the war commenced, with Hie result that a number of important works for which authority has been given have.- had lei be held in suspense until material ami labour can be obtained. Railway Refreshment-rooms. During the year the running of dining-cars on the express trains was discontinued, and with a view eif meeting the requirements of the (ravelling public the Department took over the refreshment-rooms at Mercer, Frankton Junction, Marton, Palmerston North, ami I law-era in the North Island, and Ashburton and Oamaru in the South Island. In addition, a refreshmentroom was eipened at Christchureh, and the Dunedin room was also reopened eluring the Christmas and Master holiday periods. This alteration has increased the capacity of each train on which dining-cars were previously run by one passenger-car, thereby providing accommodation feir additional passengers. At the same time a total of 16 cars were released for fitting up as ordinary passenger-vehicles, providing immediate seating-accommodation feir 500 passengers. Haulagecharges were saved, and the public requirements in respect to meals better met. Future Railway Revenue and Expenditure. The restrictions on oversea shipping created by war conditions materially affected the volume and movement of railway traffic. Manufacturing industries were unable to obtain essential male-rials from abroad, and freezing-works and stores became glutted with meat and other local products feir export. Although additional storage-space was provided by some eif the freezing companies, the margin between the normal and increased accommodation was insufficient to counterbalance- the loss of room resulting from want of ships. Passenger traffic was also affected by the falling-ofi in the number of oversea passengers arriving at and departing from New Zealand. The absence of so many young men on. military service, and restrictions to travel imposed under the coal- anil staff-saving time-tables have also had an adverse effect on the passenger business. Shortage- of labour and inability to preicure essential materials from abroad have seriously restricted the- operations of manufacturing and other important local industries. This condition is reflected in the decline of the railway-goods business. There has been a further hardening of prices in essential railway materials, and it is impossible at the present juncture to form any opinion as to when this oondition will alter. The extent tei whie-h the: expenditure of the Railway Department is affected by the present prices will be apparent from a perusal of the following figures, which give the pre-war prices of 1914 and the rates ruling to-day for the same material : —

Although the foregoing statement does not by any means exhaust tin: list of male-rials used by the Department in carrying out its everyday operations, it represents an additional war expenditure of £198,900 per annum. There are many oilier lines of mate-rial used in large quantities in railway workshops the prices of which have advanced in practically the- same ral in as those in the examples given above. While the present unsettled conditions exist it is practically impossible to forecast with any certainly to what extent the railway expenditure will lie affected by the end of the year and afterwarels,

• Price of Coal. In common with other commodities the price of coal for locomotive purposes has materially advanced during the year. The increased expenditure for West Coast coal (including steamer freights) delivered at main ports, such as Wellington, on the railway consumption of 150,000 tons per annum, was £30,000; on Newcastle coal, it was .£36,500; and on lignites it. was £7,000. Assuming that no further advance is made in the price of coal, the increased cost to the New Zealand railways on locomeitivo coal (lignite, West Coast and Newcastle) for the year ending 31st March, 1919, will be about £200,000 greater than it was at the 31st March, 1914, the- cost (including freight) having in the interval risen by 62 per cent. Coat; Shortage. The difficulty in obtaining coal for locomotive purposes has been most acute throughout the year, and on more than one occasion the Department's stock of coal on hand has been reduced to perilously low dimensions in spite of the restricted time-table. It is a fact that hail the trainmileage not been reduced on account eif the depleted staff, reduction on. similar lines would have been forced upon the Department in order to conserve the available coal stocks. Railway Improvements. The amount expended eluring the year in connection with works authorized by the RailwayImprovements Authorization Act, 1.914, and charged to capital account was £111,720. At the outset I regarded the improvements sanctioneei in the 1914 programme as urgent, and being a first step towards bringing the railways up to date and into a state of thorough efficiency. It is a matter for regret that the war conditions have precluded the possibility of obtaining sufficient funds to enable a commencement on a comprehensive scale to be made on the scheme. The practical stagnation in progress on the authorized improvements, although doubtless unavoidable on account of the war has been most disappointing to me, and the prospect of a continuation of the stagnation in respect of essential railway-works will certainly be very disconcerting and a source of grave anxiety to those responsible for the future management anel working of the railways. I cannot too strongly urge the necessity of pushing on energetically with the 1914 programme at the earliest possible moment. The prosecution of these works on a large scale immediately peace conditions become re-established will open up a profitable avenue of employment to a large number of returned soldiers. Notwithstanding the acute war conditions the gross annual earnings of the railways have in"v<*ased by nearly £680,000 in the period that has elapsed since the recommendations were made in 1914. The urgent need of making arrangements to complete the scheme within five years was stressed wdien the scheme was promulgated, and has been referred to in the Railway Report for each succeeding year. The five-years programme sanctioned in 1914 would, under normal conelitions, now be Hearing completion, anel the Department and the public now be reaping the aelvantage of the increased facilities. It was proposed that on the completion of this programme in 1919 it should be immediately succeeded hv a second five-years programme (1919-24), a steady and progressive scheme of advancement in operating facilities being necessary to enable the Department to deal adequately and economically with the inevitable development of business in a young country. The completion of the 1914 programme cannot now be expected earlier than the year 1924. The Department will be greatly in neeel of the improvements embodied in this scheme as soon as the blighting effect of war has lifted from New Zealand, and unless sanction is granted for a secemd programme of improvements to run, concurrently with the 1914 programme New Zealand Railway facilities will be insufficient to cope with the business offering in the near future. I propose to submit for consideration, on completion eif my service with the Government at the termination of the current financial year, a memorandum embodying a list of additional railway-works which should be taken in hanel as soon as circumstances will permit, and also dealing with certain questions in connection with, railway organization and administration which, in my opinion, should in the general interests of efficiency be brought up for serious review at an early dale. • Reclamation at Auckland. Arrangements have been completed for the purchase of properties disturbed by the Department's scheme, and temporary arrangements made for carrying on the various works. The old engine-depot has also been removed. The amount expended on the work during the year amounteel to £60,765, bringing the total amount expended up to £362,442. Railwaymen at the Front. 'At the end of last financial year it was found necessary to revise the time-table for the purpose of releasing a thousand additional railwaymen for military service. The Department has continued the practice of sending'drafts into camp regularly. The number of men released for military purposes during the year was 1,250. The staff have ably secontled the efforts of the Department to meet public requirements under war conditions. Three hundred and sixty of their comraeles have made the supreme sacrifice at the front. Having regard, therefore, to what they have done in the past, I am confident that they will continue to meet their obligations and zealously perform any duties devolving on them as a national service. As a consequence of the inroads made on the staff the Department is finding it increasingly difficult to provide for the everyday requirements of the business and to do more than carry out repairs to rolling-stock and appliances. No new works of any magnitude can be undertaken, and even repair work is retarded by the difficulty of obtaining sufficient skilled labour and in some cases inability to get material. I have, e&c, E.

MAINTENANCE. Mr. F. W. Mac Lean, Chief Engineer, reports as follows : — The track, buildings, structures, anel appliances have been maintained in good order and repair. Owing to the difficulty in obtaining supplies of material anel tei the shortage of labour, much work which would otherwise have been carried out has had to be postponed till conditions are more nearly normal. As indicated in the report for the- preceding year, relaying has had to be curtailed further. A contract has been entered into for the supply of rails, but there does not appear to be much prospect of delivery being made in time, or of suitable labour being available, to allow of much being done in the ensuing year towards overtaking arrears of relaying. Permanent-way. —The relaying during the year has been as follows :— Main and. branch'lines, 5311). and 561b. steel anel 701b. iron, rails relaid with Miles, new 70 lb. materials .. .. .. . . . . .. 13£ Branch lines, 401b. relaid with new 55 Hi. material Branch lines relaid with second-hand material removed from main line Total relaying feir the year .. .. .. .. .. 13|Sleepers. —93,480 new sleepers were used in renewals eluring the year. Ballasting.- 161,807 cubic yards of ballast were placed in the track during the year. The scarcity of labour and reduction of work-trains has curtailed the amount of work done. Slips and Floods, &c. —Following the damage caused by floods and slips in the early part of the year in the Auckland district, further damage occurred in the Kaipara, Whangarei, and Kailm localities. Floods and slips in the Central, Wanganui, and Wellington districts were not very serious. The, long-continued wet weather in the Gisborne district caused extensive slips and washouts, which will involve considerable reconstruction work. In the Christchureh district slips occurred on the Midland anel North Canterbury lines. About 6,000 tons of rock were deposited for river-protection on the Midland Railway. In Dunedin district about 3,000 tons eif rock were deposited to protect the foreshore at Oamaru. The railway near Puketeraki Tunnel having shown signs of weakness, it has been deviated somewhat farther from the cliffs. Extensive fluids occurred in the Clutha and Catlin's elistrict. Considerable floods occurreel throughout Southland during May. A former washout on the Mararoa Branch which had been bridged was filled in. Fully 3,000 tons of rock have been used in river-protection works in Westland district. Floods in the Nelson district in March caused extensive damage and considerable delay to traffic. No effort has been spared to effect repairs promptly where damage has caused delays to traffic, and these delays have not been serious in most cases. Bush-fires in the neighbourhood of Ohakune damaged a number of bridges. Bridges. —These have been maintained in good condition. Owing to the: difficulty in obtaining materials it has not been possible to do much in strengthening brielges for heavier engines. Water-services. —These have been maintained in good order. Improvements have been effected at a number of stations. Wharves. —Wharves belonging to the Department have been maintained in good repair. Buildings. —Extensive repairs anel renewals have been carried out, and a number of new buildings and elwellings have been erected to replace old buildings and those destroyed by fire. Station-yards. —Additional accommodation has been provided, and a number of stations have been rearranged. Railway Improvements. —Auckland District : Auckland Station —Arrangements have been completed for the purchase of properties, anel temporary arrangements have been carried out. The old engine-depot has been removed, Auckland-Mercer grade-easements —Further portions of this work have been completed, and a new station combining Drury and Runciman stations is in hand. The total expenditure under Railway Improvement Account during the year was £111,721. Additions to Open Lines. —The expenditure under this heading during the year was £53,049, the, principal works being —Signalling and interlocking, block-working, telegraph and telephone facilities, (fee,, rearrangements, Johnsonville (part), Ashburton (part), Kakariki (part), Prebbleton, Ohakune (part), Bennett's Junction ; new loe-omotive-depot, Picton (part) ; rearrangement of engine-shed yard, Christchureh (part); alterations tei sidings on No. 6 wharf, Lyttelton, consequent on reconstruction by Harbour Board ; locomotive workshop additions, East Town, Gisborne, Addington ; improved watering facilities, &c, Palmerston North, Otaki, Raurimu ; goods-shed extension, Te Kuiti; boatlanding, new wharf, Picton ; improved access to stockyards, Taupiri; improved drainage, Cross Creekarid Petone ; provision of public station at 5| m., Huntly-Awaroa (part) ; crossing siding at 24f m., Drury -Paerata ; extension of sidings, &c, Ashhurst, Waimiha, Erua, Oamaru ; alterations and additions to station buildings, Invercargill and Thorndon ; additional refreshment-room accommodation, Frankton Junction, Marton, Palmerston North, Christchureh, and Oamaru; accommodation for repairs to rolling-stock, Wellington ; additions to Locomotive Foreman's office, Frankton Junction ; installing telephones and bells in refreshment-rooms at Mercer, Frankton Junction, Marton, Hawera, Palmerston North, Ashburton, Oamaru; asphalting floors of coal-bins, Frankton Junction; car and wagon repair shop, Woodville ; oil-store, Newmarket; installing 55 ft. turn-table, Palmerston North ; provision of footbridge, &c, Kioreroa Bridge, Whangarei; electric lighting, Newmarket shops (part), East Town shops, Ashburton, Heathcote, and Kaiapoi; purchase of land, Taupiri, Marton, Haywards ; purchase of house and land, Wyndham.

As indicated in the earlier part of this report and in previous reports, much work has had to be held over owing tei lack of materials and labour. When conditions become normal the expenditure will have to lie increased materially to overtake arrears. Mileage. The mileage open for traffic on the 31st March, 1918, was 2,992 miles 67 chains. During the year 22 miles 70 chains additional lines were opened for traffic. Lands and.Leases. —Number of leases registered during the year, 380 ; annual rental, £2,727 ss. 3d.

Staff. -Maintenance Branch: Working staff, 3,414; office staff, 150: total, 3,564. The staff has been considerably affected by enlistments. Signal ash Electbical, Fixed Signals at Officered Stations. During the year nine stations have been equipped with fixed signals, viz.: Karaka Crossing, Paerata Junction, Claude-lands, Walton, Otokia, Sefton, Balcairn, Prebbleton, and Ladbrook's. Fifteen stations have been equipped with distant signals in addition to previous equipment of home, signals, viz. : Hamilton, Ruakura, Eureka, Motumaoho, Kiwitahi, Matamata, Hinuera, Allanton, Henley, Waihola, Milburn, Clifton, Awarua, Greenhills, and Bluff. Distant signals have now been erected fit' all stations where home signals were provided on the North and South Island main lines from Auckland to Bluff. The erection of distant signals on the Rotorua, Branch is now in hand. The total number of officered (including tablet) stations is 192, eif which 305 arc equipped with fixed signals, 97 arc interlocked, and 90 not yet equipped. Interlocking of Points and Signals. The electric pneumatic installation at Dune-din has given satisfaction during the year. The only station equipped with signalling and interlocking was Johnsonville, where a complete scheme of electrical detectors was installed. Alterations have been made: to the signalling and interlocking at Palmerston North, Woodville, Christchureh (south end), Sawyer's Bay, Greymouth, Burnside, Makarewa Junction, and Conon Street tram-crossing tit Livercargill. The following flag-station sidings and private sidings were interlocked with the tablet system during the year: Kioreroa Junction, service sidings at 13 m. 2 e-li. and 22 m. 15 eh. (two), (Auckland district); service siding near Lake Road (Ohakune district); Ngaroto Station; ballast-siding near Te Awamutu ; Te Mawhai Station ; Kiokio Station ; Te Kumi Station ; Kopaki Station ; Mangapeehi Station ; Waimiha Sawmilling Company's private siding between Waimiha and Ongarue ; Te Koura Station.; Taringamotu Station ; ballast-pit siding at Matapuna ; Manunui Station ; Oio Station ; ballast-pit siding near Burnham ; Normanby Station (Christchureh district) ; ballast-pit siding near St. Andrew's; Otaio Station; Hook Station; Willowbridge Station; Livercargill Corporation's private siding at Greenhills ; oyster sieling at Bluff.

TRAFFIC. Mr. H. Buxton, Chief Traffic Manager, reports that the following are the leading features of the traffic in the various districts : Whangarei Section. Revenue, £52,840; decrease, £1,125. Passengers decreased, 4,758 ; LiVe-stock, 7,735 ; timber, 3,488 tons, and minerals 27,093 tons. General goods increased 4,776 tons. Bad weather and the scarcity of labour affected the timber business. The decrease in minerals was caused b}' the flooding of a coa.l-n.iinc for a portion of the year. Kailm Section. Revenue, £7,171 ; increase, £693. Passengers increased 788. Timber increased 2,004 tons, minerals 201 tons, anel general goods 542 tons. Fleiods considerably affected traffic in the previous year.

LOCOMOTIVE. Mr. H. H. Jackson, Chief Mechanical Engineer, reports as follows : — Locomotives. —On the Ist April, 1917, there were, 607 engines in service, and on the 31st March, 1918, there were 624 engines. Three second-hand tank engines were sold, and one tankengine was condemned. These lour engines were written off stock. Twenty-one new engines were added to stock, of which fourteen were built in the Government railway weirkshops, and comprised seven Pacific type simple superheated tender engines, Class An; two heavy suburban tank engines, 4-6-4 type, Class Wab; and live heavy tank engines, 4-6-4 type, Class Ww. Seven 4-8-0 simple superheated heavy tender engines, Class Bb, were completed under contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price (Limited), of Thames. The contract which this firm undertook has been now completed to the satisfaction of the Department. In the Government railway workshops to date 186 engines have been built, and twenty-four old locomotives have been rebuilt. Five hundred anel eighty-four locomotives passed through the workshops during the- year, the de-tails eif work done being as billows :-

Included in the above are two engines for Public Weirks Department and erne engine for a private line. At the close of the year there were on order in the railway workshops fifteen engines, consisting of ten Pacific type simple superheated tender engines, Class Ab, and five heavy tank engines 4-6-4 type, Class Ww. As the necessary material is now unobtainable the work e>f building new locomotives has ceased at Aldington, and at Hillside the work will be completed within the next few months. Owing to material not being procurable no further contracts for locomotives can be made in the meantime. The new locomotives addeel, together with boiler renewals, increased the: total tractive power by 370,771 lb., or eejual to 4-41 per cent. The new engines being built and the boilers under construction will, when completed, still further maternally increase the tractive power. Boilers.- The work on new boilers, renewals, and repairs has been kept well up to date, but as material is not now procurable no new boilers can be put in hand, and the work of repairing the older ones is a matter of increasing difficulty. The following statement shows details of boiler-weirk eleme : —

Fifteen new boilers were on orde-r at close, of year, and comprised ten Class Ab and, five Class Ww. Carriages. —The stock on the Ist April, 1917, was 1,480 cars, and on the 31st March, 1918, the number was 1,488. One: car was sold and written off. Nine new bogie cars were built and added to stock.

Thiity-eight cars were under construction in the railway workshops at close of the year, but owing to want of material the work is progressing very slowly. Brake-vans.- -The number of brake-vans on the line on the Ist April, 1917, was 440, and the number on the 31st March, 1918, was 444. Eour new vans were built and added to stock. The following table shows the weirk done on brake-vans during the year : —

Twelve bogie vans were under construction at close of the year. Wagons.—The wagon stock on the Ist April, 1917, consisted of 21,940 vehicles, and the number on the 31st March, 1918, was 22,073. Sixteen wagons were sold. One hundred and forty-nine new wagons were built and added to stock. Of this number 137 were additional stock, and the balance, twelve, was to replace wagons sold. The carrying-capacity of wagon stock was increased by 2,547 tons, equal to 1-35 per cent;., or an equivalent of 425 ordinary wagons. The following table gives particular's eif work clone on wagons during the, year : —

One thousand and fifty wagons were under construction in the railway workshops at the close of year, and comprised 175 beigie and 875 four-wheel wagons, but the work is proceeding very slowly* owing to want of material. Tarpaulins.— The tarpaulin stock on the Ist April, 1917, was 17,532, and on the 31st March, 1918, the number was 17,632. One hundred new tarpaulins were made in railway workshops and added to stock ; 692 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 :■ —

Nine hundred, and fifty tarpaulins were being manufactured in the railway workshops at the close of the year, but the shortage of canvas is seriously retarding the work. Stationary Engines and Cranes. The repairs and renewals during the year were as follows : —

Axles- During the year 512 car, van, anel wagem axles were replaced with modern steel axles ; this number does not include axles for new rolling-stoe-k. The- steel axles increase the carrying: capacity eif eaedi wagon by 2 terns. Weslinghouse Brake. The work of equipping engines and rolling-stock on the Westland Section is in hand, but so far only the Greymouth- Gtira passenger-trains have- been equipped, owing to want of material. Efficient arrangements are in force for the examination and upkeep of the Westinghouse brake-. All new engines anel rolling-stock built for sections upon which the air-brake is in operation are equipped with it before being put into service.

Car-lighting. —The oil-gas manufactured at the five separate Pint ch-gas works during the year amounted to 8,137,260 cubic feet, and cost to manufacture 3s. I-Del. per 100 cubic feet, the increase in cost eif production being due: principally to increased charges for oil owing to war conditions. On sections not provided with Pintsch gas all cars are lighted with acetylene gas. Motor-cars.- -The motor-cars used on the Culverden-Hanmer service were solel during the year. Rail Motor-cars. —The Thomas transmission rail motor-car was out of commission, due to repair parts not being obtainable eiwing lo the war. The Westinghouse petrol-electric rail motor-car was withdrawn from service when the reduced time-table came into operation. Steamers. —The Railway Department's steamers em Lake Wakatipu service have been maintained in good working-order. Renewals and Replacements. During the year three second-hand tank engines, one ear, and sixteen wagons were solel ; also 692 worn-out tarpaulins were condemned anel written off. . To replace engines anel rolling-stock solel one heavy tank engine anel twelve wagons were built, and 692 tarpaulins were made. Tei replace the: balance of rolling-stock sold new vehicles are- under construction. Train Running and, Mileage. There has again been a, decrease in train-mileage, amounting tei 1,677,085 miles, as compared with 1916 17. The decrease is due to reduced train service's and the provisiein of more powerful engine's. The engine-mileage has decreased by 2,133,514 miles as compared with 1916 17. The decrease is principally due to the reduction in train services and the use of Class An engines mentioned in my last report. Me>re of these locomotives have been built, and there: are- now nineteen eif this type at work. These engines are now usee) on all express trains, and continue to give great satisfaction. During the year the heavy tank engines referred to in last report have' been regularly used between Taihape and Taumarunui on express and either trains, and have given good results. These engines on 50 per cent;, less coal-consumption are doing almost equal work to the Chiss X compounds. The following table shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile :

The increase in cost per train-mile is distributed as follows :—

In this increased expenditure is included the cost of fuel, which in 1917 was £318,000, or equal to 9-13(1. per train-mile, while in 1918 it was £367,600, or equal to 11-81(1. per train-mile ; also war bonus anel allowances amounting to £73,600 were charged to working-expenses. Another item was the increased percentage of non-productive mileage tei train-mileage, which, amounted tei 1-63 per cent, over 1917, or equal to £10,467. Material for Repair Work. —It is now becoming more difficult to obtain the necessary material for the repair and upkeep of rolling-stock, many special lines essential for this purpose being absolutely v n procurable. General.— During the year East Town shops have been equipped with electric light, and the . Newmarket shops have been electrified and the old steam-power plant dismantled. STORKS. Mr. 11. Baxter, Comptroller of Stores, reports as follows : The value of stores, material, and plant (purchased under the Rail-way vote) on hand at the 31st March, 1918, at the various stores, depots, and sawmills amounted to £437,788 3s. 5e1., as against £392,597 13s. Bd. on the: 31st March, 1917. The value of stores on hand on account of additions to open lines amounted to £13,244 Is. 2d., as against £15,212 6s. Bd. on the 31st March, 1917. The: whole stock is in good order, has been systematically and carefully inspected, and is value for the amounts stated.
