RAILWAYS STATEMENT BY THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, RIGHT HON. W. F. MASSEY.

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting the Railways Statement for the year ending 31st March, 1920, I have pleasure in announcing that, notwithstanding the curtailment of the, train service brought about by the shortage of coal between the 2nd July and 27th September last, the gross receipts amounted to £5,752,487, an increase of £763,855 on the earnings for the year ended 31st March, 1919, and £752,487 in excess of the estimated revenue. The following gives a summary of the results:— Year 1920. Year 1919. £ £ Total earnings .. .. .. 5,752,487 4,988,632 Total expenditure .. .. 4,105,067 3,308,575 Net profit on working . . £l, 647,420 £l, 680,057 The mileage of lines open for traffic on the 31st March, 1920, was 3,006 miles. The Culverden-Waiau line, 12 miles 75 chains, was opened for traffic on the 15th December, 1919. The capital cost of the lines open for traffic, including the steamers and plant on Lake Wakatipu, increased from £36,167,681 to £36,390,115. The net revenue, £1,647,420, is equal to a return of 4-53 per cent, on the capital (£36,390,115) invested in the lines open for traffic, and 4-12 per cent, on the capital (£39,997,340) invested in the opened and unopened lines. The gross receipts per train-mile for all lines amounted to 186-OOd., as against 160-OOd. for the previous year, an increase of 26-00 d. per train-mile. The receipts per train-mile from the North Island main line and branches were 183-50 d., as against 161-00 d. for the previous year, an advance of 22-50 d. The South Island main line and branches provided a gross return of 195-50 d., as against 159-OOd. last year, an increase of 36-50 d. The expenditure for the year, £4,105,067, was £796,492 more than the previous year, and exceeded the estimate by £530,067.

The percentage of working-expenses to earnings was 71*36, as against 66-32 for the previous year, an increase of 5-04 per cent. The sum of £160,323 was expended under the head of " Additions to open lines " in providing additional rolling-stock, tarpaulins, workshops machinery, Westinghouse brake, improvements to workshops and engine-depots, station facilities, additional dwellings, tablet-installation, and purchases of land. During the year four new heavy tank engines, three bogie cars, and 279 wagons were built in the workshops and put into traffic. Forty engines, forty cars, sixteen brake-vans, ninety-nine bogie and 526 four-wheeled wagons were on order or under construction at the close of the financial year.

Having regard to the world-wide unsettled conditions that exist as a consequence of the war, and the impossibility of forecasting when normal circumstances will be restored, prudence compels me to adopt a conservative view in respect to the railway revenue and expenditure for the year ending 31st March, 1921. I anticipate, however, that the revenue will be £6,000,000 and the expenditure £4,612,500. It is a matter of regret that circumstances have precluded any material progress being made with the important essential works proposed in 1914. The lack of accommodation results in congestion of traffic, and is a serious obstacle to successful operations. SUPERANNUATION FUND. The total amount standing to the credit of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund at the end of the financial year was £408,233, an increase of £44,428 on the balance to the credit of the fund on the 31st March, 1919. The gross income for the year was £196,615, and the outgoing amount £.152,187. Of the latter amount, £94,464 represents grants to 1,117 members of the service who have retired voluntarily or have been retired medically unfit, 391 widows and 547 children dependants on deceased contributors to the fund who were members of the service at the time of their death. The income from the actual contributions of members totalled £104,130, or £11,677 less than the estimated annual liability. The receipts are, however, augmented by a. Government subsidy of £75,000 and amounts received by way of interest on funds invested and fines imposed under the regulations. These amounted to £17,769. The financial position of the fund is such as to entirely preclude any possibility of its being able to bear any increase in the liabilities already imposed under existing statutes ; but, having regard to the disabilities suffered by beneficiaries of the fund owing to the increase in the cost of living, consideration is being given to proposals having for their object the granting of temporary allowances, which will not, however, be a charge against the Superannuation Fund.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. Sib, — New Zealand Government Railways, Head Office, Wellington, Bth September, 1920. I have the honour to report on the working of the railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1920. The Culverden-Waiau extension, 12 miles 75 chains in length, was taken over in December last, making the total mileage open for traffic at the 31st March 3,006 miles. The capital invested in the lines open for traffic, including the steamers and plant on Lake Wakatipu, on the 31st March was £36,390,115, as against £36,167,681 for the previous year, an increase of £222,434. This amount includes £74,277 construction charges on lines already taken over from the Public Works Department, £160,323 on new works charged against capital account under " Additions to open lines," and £92,994 expended under the Railway Improvement Authorization Act, 1914. The gross receipts for the year amounted to £5,752,487, as against £4,988,632 for the previous year, an increase of £763,855. The net revenue, £1,647,420, is equal to a return of 4-53 per cent, on the capital invested in the linos open for traffic, and 4-12 per cent, on the capital invested in the opened and unopened lines. The train-mileage for the year, 7,108,608 miles, was 68,975 miles less than the previous year, due to the curtailment of train services to economize coal-consumption. Traffic in Otago District was seriously disorganized by floods and slips in July and August. On the 4th and sth July traffic on the Outrain Branch was blocked by floods. On the 4th July a slip occurred on the Otago Central Branch at Salisbury. From the 18th to the 22nd August traffic on the Outram Branch was suspended through flood. Traffic was suspended between Mosgiel and Milton on the 19th August through a flood. On the 20th August a flood interfered with the traffic between Mosgiel and Clinton. Between the 19th and 28th August traffic on the Otago Central Branch was interrupted through slips between Wingatui and Ranfurly. In the Auckland District, a flood between Hoteo and Wayby, on the North Auckland Railway interrupted traffic on the 27th March. In addition to the above there were a number of smaller slips and washouts which caused delays to trains, but did not involve any actual suspension of traffic. The following figures, which give the record of the late arrival of the principal trains during the voar, indicate that, despite the difficulties experienced in connection with the shortage of coal and other unforeseen circumstances, the trains as a whole have run well up to time : — Average Late Arrival. Mm. Mm. Long distance, passenger trains .. .. .. 5-02 against 2-94 last year. Suburban trains .. .. .. .. .. 0-80 ~ 0-53 ~ Long-distance mixed trains .. .. .. 7-67 „ 4-67 „ The number of ordinary passengers carried during the year was 12,760,814, an increase of 1,386,293. Season tickets issued numbered 400,621, an increase of 49,497. Workers' weekly twelve-trip tickets numbered 83,365, and workers' weekly tickets issued on suburban lines 248,071, an increase over the preceding year of 9,093 twelve-trip and 33,917 workers' weekly tickets. The improvement in passenger traffic of all classes is attributable to the restoration of Sunday trains and excursion fares, removal of restrictions on travel imposed during the later period of the war, and the greater facilities afforded by a return to approximately pre-war time-tables in December, 1919. The passenger traffic for the year ended 31st March, 1919, was adversely affected by the influenza epidemic. Although the increase of 1,386,293 ordinary passengers constitutes a record increase for any year in the history of the railways, the year's total of 12,760,814 shows a decline of 1,440,692 passengers compared with the 14,201,506 passengers carried in the year 1915-16. The goods and live-stock tonnage was 6,000,279 tons, an increase of 388,541 tons. The increases were as follow :— Cattle .. .. .. .. .. 11,432 head. Sheep 641,214 ,; Timber .. .. .. .. .. 123,442 tons. Other goods 378,580 „ Decreases were — Pigs .. .. .. .. .. 16,418 head. Minerals .. .. .. .. •• 143,247 tons. Consequent on the partial removal of congestion of frozen-meat works by shipping facilities for export of frozen meat, an impetus has been given to the movement of fat cattle and sheep for freezing. A considerable number of both cattle and sheep were also railed for depasturing as a result of shortage of feed in Hawke's Bay and Otago.

The increase in the tonnage of timber carried is due to the keen demand for building-material throughout the Dominion, the establishment of now mills, and increased shipping facilities for carriage of timber for export. The mineral traffic was adversely affected by shortage of labour at some of the mines and the influenza epidemic at two of the mining towns on the Coast. Minora! traffic, which declined by 128,569 tons last year, shows a further decrease of 143,247 tons for the year under review. The quantity of coal railed from the Westport and Greymouth mines decreased by 174,741 tons, an average, of 3,300 tons per week, during the year ended 31st March last. Under the heading of " Other goods " the increase of 378,580 tons is due to heavy grain traffic in Canterbury, large shipments of frozen moat, tallow, pelts, &c, and the import of grain and other merchandise from overseas. The average number of men employed for the year was 13,385, against 12,391 for the previous year. Thirty-four members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division, 1,083 members of the permanent staff resigned, 136 retired on superannuation, fifty-one died, 112 wore dismissed, and 881 engaged. The sum of £12,633 was paid under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act during the year to members who sustained injuries while in the execution of their duty. The additions made to the rolling-stock during the year consisted of four heavy tank engines, Class " Ww," three bogio cars, and 279 wagons, all of which were built in the Railway workshops. Eight second-hand tank engines were sold and written off stock. The rolling-stock on order at the close of the year under review consisted of forty engines, forty cars, sixteen brake-vans, ninety-nine bogie and 526 four-wheeled wagons. Two hundred and seventy modern car, van, and wagon axles were substituted for the old iron typo during the year, thus increasing the carrying-capacity of each vehicle by 2 tons. The permanent-way, buildings, structures, and appliances have been efficiently maintained, and a considerable number of improvements has been made in the accommodation at various stations. About seven miles of track wore relaid. This is much below the fixed standard, but great difficulty has been experienced in carrying out even the most essential works owing to the shortage of suitable labour. 82,908 new sleepers and 86,805 cubic yards of ballast were placed in the track during the year, and protective work carried out on the Midland Railway, at Oamaru, and on the Westland Section. Interlocking and signal appliances have been extended and sidings and station-yards improved. Grade easements have been continued in the Auckland District, and station rearrangements in connection therewith. During the year eight stations have been equipped with fixed signals, while thirty-eight stations were provided with distant signals in addition to previous equipment of home signals. 298 stations are now equipped with fixed signals, and 100 stations are interlocked. Special switch-locks wore provided at eight stations, and special locking arrangements for points and signals were installed at ten switch-out tablet stations. The railway telegraph and telephone systems were extended during the year, and now comprise 287 Morse sets, 1,642 telephones, 286 electric bells, 2,606 miles of poles, and 7,193 miles of wire. Electric lighting has been installed at a number of station buildings, yards, offices, engine-sheds, and dwellings. Revenue. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £5,752,487, an increase of £763,855 on the earnings of the previous year and £752,487 above the estimates. The particulars are as follow : — 1920. 1919. £ £ Passengers, ordinary .. .. .. ..2,138,391 1,799,381 Season tickets .. .. .. .. .. 165,596 150,901 Parcels, luggage, and mails .. .. .. 290,453 258,524 Goods .. .. .. .. .. .. 2,956,237 2,608,336 Miscellaneous, rents, &c. .. .. .. .. 201,810 171,490 £5,752,487 £4,988,632 The gross receipts per train-mile for all lines were 186-00 d., as against 160-00 d. for the preceding year, an increase of 26-OOd. per train-mile. The North Island main line and branches produced 183-50 d., as against 161 -00d. per train-mile for the previous year, an increase of 22-50 d. The South Island main line and branches gave a return of 195-50 d., as against 159-OOd. last year, an increase of 36-50 d. The earnings from the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £7,878, an increase of £1,196 over the revenue for the previous year. The net revenue, £1,647,420, was equal to a return of 4-53 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for traffic (£36,390,115), and 4T2 per cent, on the capital in the opened and unopened lines (£39,997,340).

Expenditure. The working expenditure for the year under review, including £7,964, the cost of working the Lake Wakatipu traffic, amounted to £4,105,067, an increase of £796,492 over the expenditure for last year. The ratio of expenditure to earnings was 71-36, as compared with 66-32 for the preceding year, an increase of 5-04 per cent. Expenditure. Per Gent, of Revenue. 1919-20. 1918-19. 1919-20. 1918-19. £ £ Traffic .. .. .. 1,301,935 1,032,609 22-66 20-73 Locomotive .. .. 1,785,491 1,381,797 31-08 27-74 Maintenance .. .. 837,910 752,558 14-59 15-10 Management .. .. 171,767 134,626 2-99 2-70 4,097,103 3,301,590 71-32 66-27 Lake Wakatipu steamers .. 7,964 6,985 0-04 0-05 £4,105,067 £3,308,575 71-36 66-32 The expenditure for 1919-20 includes the increases in salaries and wages granted under the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1919, and the cost-of-living bonus granted from Ist January, 1920. The increased expenditure in the Traffic Branch, Head and Departmental Offices resulted mainly from regulation scale increases and the increases and bonus referred to above. The increase in the Locomotive Branch is due to increases in salaries and wages, bonus, and the enhanced cost of fuel, stores, materials for repairs, and upkeep of plant and appliances. The increased expenditure in the Maintenance Branch is due to increases in salaries and wages and bonus, and the advance in the cost of materials. The expenditure per mile of railway was £281, as against £252 last year. The sum of £52,722 was expended in the Maintenance Branch and charged to capital under the head " Additions to open lines." These comprise additions to workshops and engine-depots, water services, station facilities, additional dwellings, tablet-installation, telephone and telegraph facilities. and purchase of land. In the Locomotive Branch £80,662 was expended in the provision of additional rolling-stock, tarpaulins, workshop machinery, and Wostinghouse brakes. The rolling-stock in respect of which the charges were incurred under the head " Additions to open lines " included four locomotives, three carriages, thirty-nine bogie and 240 four-wheeled wagons. and 585 tarpaulins completed on 31st March, and forty locomotives, thirty-five carriages, twelve brake-vans, ninety-seven bogie and 500 four-wheeled wagons, and 765 tarpaulins incomplete but in hand on that date. The operations in both the Maintenance and Locomotive Branches were again considerably hampered by the inability to obtain the necessary material from abroad and the shortage of suitable labour. Coal. The quantity of coal carried on the Westport Section was 459,452 tons, against 551,410 tons for the previous year, a decrease of 91,958 tons, or 16| per cent. On the Greymouth Section the quantity carried was 283,665 tons, against 366,448 tons the previous year, a decrease of 82,783 tons, or 23 percent. The output of coal carried on the Greymouth Section for the year ended 31st March, 1915, was 514,795 tons, compared with 283,665 tons at 31st March, 1.920. The decrease, 231,130 tons, represents a decline of 45 per cent, in the output of West Coast coals in six years. Price of Coal. —The cost of coal has again been substantially increased, and the tendency is towards a still further advance owing to increase in cost of labour and sea freight where sea-borne coal is concerned. Coal-saving Time-table. —Consequent on the difficulties experienced during the years 1916-19 in obtaining adequate supplies to replenish the Department's coal stocks, serious depletion had taken place by 31st March, 1919, and the outlook was then causing anxiety. Strong efforts wore made to improve the position and obtain adequate supplies, but owing to shipping and labour difficulties a full measure of success did not immediately result. Stocks rapidly diminished, and on the 2nd July, 1919, a drastic curtailment of the, time-table was brought into operation, and remained in force until the 27th September. The causes leading up to the coal-cut were investigated by a Royal Commission last year. Although the position in respect of coal has improved in consequence of the savings effected by the curtailed train services, there is still necessity for the exercise of unremitting attention and constant vigilance in the matter of coal-supplies. Pulverized Fuel. —Arrangements have been made for the practical testing of pulverized fuel at an early date. A pulverizer has been obtained, and will be fitted up as soon as some essential materials come to hand and labour is available to assemble the appliance and erect the necessary building, &c.

Time-table. On the 14th December last a full time-table on the pre-war basis was brought into operation Coincident with this, issue of holiday, school, and other excursion tickets was reinstated, and the running of Sunday trains resumed. The restrictions imposed on passenger and goods traffic during the period the curtailed time-table was in operation resulted in the accumulation of some 12,000,000 ft. of timber and considerable quantities of other non-essential goods. Special arrangements were made to clear up the arrears with the least possible delay. Train Accidents. On the 14th May a goods-train got out of control when running on a down grade leaving Hihitahi, and was derailed near Mataroa. Thirty-two wagons were wrecked. Both the driver and fireman were scalded by escaping steam. The driver, I regret to say, subsequently succumbed to his injuries. On the 21st February ten wagons on a goods-train were derailed at Opapa, seven wagons being badly damaged. Railway Improvements. The amount expended during the year in connection with works authorized by the Railway Improvements Authorization Act, 1914, and charged to Capital Account was £78,818. The total expenditure on the scheme up to the 31st March was £635,265. It was estimated in 1914 that the scheme which was to provide accommodation and facilities that were at that time imperatively necessary to enable the Department to deal efficiently with the traffic would be completed in five years. The intervention of the war, however, has prevented any material progress being made, and as a consequence the Department is now in a position of having to deal with greatly increased traffic with out-of-date and inadequate facilities. During the five years 1915 to 1920 the revenue has increased by £1,647,030, and there is every indication that this rate of increase will be maintained. It is therefore imperatively necessary that the railway-improvement scheme of 1914 should be vigorously pushed on. The Department could find regular employment for at least five years for 2,500 suitable men. Rolling-stock. In consequence of the difficulty of obtaining the necessary material and the depletion of the staff during the war period, the building of new rolling-stock was greatly restricted ; and, as the arrears cannot bo made up by the manufacture of locomotives and wagons in the Railway Workshops of the Dominion, arrangements have been made to invite tenders for the construction of twenty-five locomotives and 2,500 wagons from abroad, and also to invito offers from manufacturers within the Dominion for the building of an additional 500 wagons. A. contract has also been lot to Messrs. A. and G. Price for the construction of twenty locomotives in their workshops at Thames. Housing of Staff. Considerable difficuly is experienced by the staff in obtaining house accommodation, especially in the North Island, where the shortage of houses is very acute. With a view to overcoming this it has been decided to enter upon a largo housing scheme and to provide houses for all permanent members of the Railway staff. Land has been acquired in various centres, and an up-to-date factory will bo erected at Frankton Junction, where timber will be cut to standard and the complete house will be sent to the locality in which it is to be erected. In addition to dealing with the timber for houses, the factory will bo capable of turning out timber suitably cut for other railway purposes ; and as soon as its own urgent requirements are met in regard to houses the Department will be in a position to supply other Government Departments with, house material cut to size. Apart altogether from the economy in erecting factory-cut houses, the number of houses that can be built in a given time will be greatly increased as compared with the ordinary method of building. A number of houses are now in course of erection at Kaiwarra, I have, &c, R. W. McVilly, Tho Hon. the Minister of Railways. General Manager.

MAINTENANCE. Mr. F. W. Mac Lean, M.lnst.(l.E., Chief Engineer, reports as follows : — The track, buildings, structures, and appliances have been maintained in efficient order and repair. The difficulty in carrying on not only urgently needed new work, but also ordinary maintenance work during the year: has been even greater than in the preceding years. Although, at much increased cost, it has been possible to obtain materials to some extent, yet owing to the shortage of labour it has been possible to make only a limited use of these materials. Some of the rails previously ordered have been delivered in New Zealand, but very ittle relaying of track could be carried out for lack of men. If the essential work of maintenance is to be carried on efficiently, arrears of work overtaken, and tin; large extensions and alterations which increasing traffic demands to be carried out, it seems obvious, in view also of the large works contemplated by the Government and others, that special steps will have to be taken to obtain the necessary labour. Permanent-way. - -The relaying during the year has been as follows : — Miles. Main and branch lines, 53 lb., 56 lb., 65 lb., and 100 lb. steel rails relaid with new 70 lb. material . . . . .. .. .. .. . . 5 Branch lines, 401b. relaid with 55 lb. material .. .. .. .... Branch lines, relaid with second-hand material ..' .. .. ..If Total relaying for the year .. .. .. .. .. 6§ Sleepers. —B2,96B new sleepers were placed in the track during the year, Ballasting,— -86,805 cubic yards of ballast were placed on the, track during the year. Slips and Floods. Slips and floods of a minor character which do not call for special comment occurred in the Auckland, Ohakune, Wanganui, and Invercargill districts. Heavy rain during the middle of August caused a heavy flood in the Taieri River, traffic on the Main South Line and Outram Branch being suspended for two or three days. A large slip also occurred on the Otago Central Railway, blocking the, line for several days. 1,680 tons of rock were used on protective works on the Midland Railway, and about 1,300 tons of rock to protect the foreshore at Oainaru. 7,279 tons of stone were also used on protective works on the Westland Section. Mr. Borlase's quarry at Sawyer's Bay has been purchased by the Department.
