RAILWAYS STATEMENT BY THE ACTING MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, HON. D. H. GUTHRIE.

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting the Railways Statement for the year ended 31st March, 1921, I have pleasure in announcing that, notwithstanding the exceptional conditions which prevailed during the greater part of the year, the gross receipts amounted to £6,908,531, an increase of £1,156,044 on the earnings for the year ended 31st March, 1920, and £908,531 in excess of the estimated revenue. The following gives a summary of the results : — Year 1921. Year 1920. £ £ Total earnings .. .. .. 6,908,531 5,752,487 Total expenditure .. .. 5,636,601 4,105,067 Net profit on working .. £1,271,930 £1,647,420 The mileage of lines open for traffic on the 31st March, 1921, was 3,018 miles. The undermentioned extensions were opened during the year : RanganuiHuarau, 6 miles 33 chains ; Kioreroa-Portland, 5 miles 21 chains. The capital cost of lines open for traffic, including steamers and plant on Lake Wakatipu, increased from £36,390,115 to £37,235,254. The net revenue, £1,271,930, is equal to a return of 3 "42 per cent, on the capital invested on the lines open for traffic, and 3*07 per cent, on the capital (£41,425,496) invested in the opened and unopened lines. The gross receipts per train-mile for all lines amounted to 178 , 00 d., as against 186'OOd. for the preceding year, a decrease of 8 - 00 d. per train-mile. The receipts per train-mile from the North Island main line and branches were 180'OOd., as against 183 - 50 d. for the previous year, a decrease of 3 - 50 d. The South Island main line and branches produced a return of 173'00d., as against 195 - 50 d. last year, a decrease of 22-50 d.

The expenditure for the year amounted to £5,636,601, an increase of £1,531,534 over the previous year, and exceeded the estimate by £1,024,101. The percentage of working-expenses to earnings was 8T59, as against 71 "36 for the preceding year, an increase of 10 "23 per cent. The sum of £421,315 was expended under the head " Additions to open lines " in providing additional rolling-stock, tarpaulins, Westinghouse brake, workshop machinery, foot - warmers; improvement to workshops, engine - depots, station facilities, water - services; additional dwellings ; signal, tablet, and telephone installation ; interlocking ; gasworks extension ; and purchase of land. During the year thirty-four bogie and 127 four-wheeled wagons were constructed in the railway workshops and put into traffic. Eighty-five engines, thirty-five carriages, thirteen brake-vans, eighty-three bogie, and 2,887 four-wheeled wagons were on order or under construction at the close of the financial year. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales made an extensive tour of the Dominion in April and May, 1920. Landing at Auckland, he travelled by rail to Rotorua, returning to Auckland ; thence by rail to New Plymouth, Wanganui, Napier, and via Wairarapa line to Wellington. From Wellington he crossed to Picton, and travelled by railway and motor-cars to Nelson, Westport, and Hokitika ; thence to Otira by train, and Otira to Arthur's Pass by special coaches. Taking the train from Arthur's Pass he journeyed to Christchurch, and thence to Invercargili, and back to Lyttelton, from which port he sailed in the " Renown " on the 21st May, 1920. The railway-trains stopped en route at a number of stations, at each of which His Royal Highness was warmly welcomed by large and enthusiastic gatherings of the people from the surrounding districts, who had in numerous cases travelled long distances to do honour to His Royal Highness and show their loyalty to the King and Empire. The whole of the arrangements for the transport of His Royal Highness and his entourage by railway, motor-cars, and coaches were carried out in a highly satisfactory manner. The rapidity with which the Royal party moved added greatly to the difficulties of catering for their requirements. Such difficulties were, however, surmounted by the Controller of Railway Refreshment Services, and the staff gave very capable assistance, working under his direction throughout the tour. The excellence of the arrangements throughout was much appreciated by His Royal Highness and his party. In view of the continued unsettled conditions prevailing throughout the world, and the large drop in the imports and decline in the prices for our staple, products, principally meat and wool, it would not be prudent to take other than a conservative view in making a forecast of the Railway revenue for the coming year. I anticipate that the revenue will reach £7,250,000, and the expenditure will amount to not less than £6,490,000. SUPERANNUATION FUND. The total amount standing to the credit of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund, at the close of the financial year ended 31st March, 1921, was £464,490, an increase of £56,258 on the balance to the credit of the fund for the previous year. The gross income for the year was £219,923, and the outgoing £163,665. Of the latter amount, £109,982 represents grants to 1,152 members of the Railway service who have either retired voluntarily or have been retired medically unfit, and allowances amounting to £12,753 were paid in respect to 4.13 widows and 561 children dependants of 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 of the fund totalled £118,889, or £11,110 less than the estimated annual liability. The receipts are, however, augmented by the Government subsidy of £75,000 and amounts received by way of interest on funds invested and fines imposed under the regulations, together with a donation. These amounted to £22,396.

ANNUAL REPORT OP THE GENERAL MANAGER OP THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways, Sm, — Head Office, Wellington, 16th November, 1921. I have the honour to report on the working of the railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1921. The Ranganui-Huarau Section, 6 miles 33 chains, and the Kioreroa-Portland Section, 5 miles 21 chains, were opened during the year, making the total mileage open for traffic on the 31st March 3,018 miles. The capital invested in the lines open for traffic, including the steamers and plant on Lake Wakatipu, on the 31st March, 1921, was £37,235,254, as against £36,390,115 for the previous year, an increase of £845,139. This amount includes £360,746, construction charges on lines already taken over from the Public Works Department, £421,315 on new works charged against capital account under " Additions to open lines," and £63,078 expended under the Railway Improvement Authorization Act, 1914. The gross receipts for the year amounted to £6,908,531, as against £5,752,487 for the previous year, an increase of £1,156,044. The net revenue, £1,271,930, is equal to a return of 342 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for traffic, and 3-07 per cent, on the capital invested in the opened and unopened lines. The train-mileage for the year, 9,303,392 miles, was 1,894,784 more than the previous year. This increased mileage represents services put on at the end of 1919 to restore the pre-war time-table. The lines on which the additional mileage was run are —Whangarei, 1,799 ; Gisborne, 8,681 ; North Island Main Trunk, 1,082,414 ; South Island Main Trunk, 782,221 ; Westland, 18,968 ; Nelson, 2,409. Decreases totalling 1,708 miles were made on Kaihu, Westport, and Picton Sections. The increase in train-mileage has been followed by a marked decrease in the receipts per train-mile, the North Island lines showing a falling-off of 3'sod. and the South Island lines of 22-50 d., and all lines of 8-od. per mile for the whole of the train-mileage run throughout the year. Floods and slips caused serious disorganization of train services on several occasions during the year, and also the suspension of all trains north of Pohokura, on the Whangamomona line, from the 19th April to the 17th May ; on the Picton line, between Mirza and Wharanui, from the 21st August to the 11th September, and again from the 23rd September until the 27th November ; on the Outram Branch, from the 30th September to the 2nd October ; on the Main Trunk line, South Island, between Morven and Glenavy, on the 29th September ; and North Island, between Ohakune and Marton, on the Ist October, and Ohakune-Taihape on the 2nd October. 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, run well up to time : — Average Late Arrival. Mm. Mm. Long-distance passenger-trains .. .. .. 5-35 against 5-02 last year. Suburban trains .. . . .. .. . . Pl 6 ~ 0-80 „ Long-distance mixed trains .. ... . . . 7-72 ~ 7-67 „ The number of ordinary passengers carried during the year was 15,315,640, an increase of 2,554,826, over the previous year. Season tickets issued numbered 464,691, an increase of 64,070. Workers' twelve-trip tickets numbered 107,136, and workers' tickets issued on suburban lines 282,854, an increase over the preceding year of 23,771 twelve-trip and 34,783 workers' weekly tickets. The year's total of ordinary passengers carried constitutes a record for the Dominion. The increase in passenger traffic is accounted for by the heavy business resulting from the visit of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the diversion to railway during the Auckland tramway strike on two occasions of a considerable portion of the suburban traffic usually catered for by tramways, the inclusion in the year's business of the greater portion of traffic for two Easter holiday seasons, the traffic resulting from the Davis Cup contest held in Auckland, and the increase in the number of school, factory, and friendly-society and holiday excursionists.

The goods and live-stock tonnage was 6,487,279 tons, an increase of 487,000 tons. The increases were as follows :— Cattle .. .. .. .. .. 18,769 head. Pigs .. .. .. .. .. 314 „ Timber 1 .. .. .. .. .. 106,530 tons. Minerals .. .. .. .. .. 214,704 „ Other goods .. .. .. .. .. 166,894 „ Sheep decreased by 198,648 head. At the opening of the year there was congestion in the freezing-works, and this to a large extent accounted for the drop in the number of sheep carried. Unfortunately, as the congestion was relieved, the drop in meat-values checked freezing operations. Favourable prices, keen demand for supplies on the local market for housing, combined with good overseas market, gave a stimulus to the timber industry. A number of new mills have been established and commenced operations, and the result is reflected in the increase of 106,530 tons of timber carried during the year. Mineral tonnage was favourably affected by increase in phosphate, gravel and other roadmaking materials, as also by the quantity of overseas coal landed at the various ports for conveyance by rail to inland destination. This accounts for 150,000 tons of the increase ; the balance, 64,000 tons, represents the increase in the coal traffic from the New Zealand mines. The quantity railed from Huntly decreased by 14,658 tons ; Denniston Mine by 20,300 tons ; Seddonville Co-operative (closed owing to fire), 2,000 tons ; Kaitangata, 8,260 tons ; Paparoa, Brunner, State No. 1, 54,600 tons ; Blackball, State No. 2, and Reefton Mines increased by 84,000 tons, the local mines in Otago and Southland by 29,000 tons, Granity, Stockton, Mokihinui, and Co-operative Mines by 23,468 tons. The total quantity of coal railed from the mines of the Westport and Westland Sections was 774,685 as against 743,127 tons for 1920, an increase of 31,500 tons. The output of the Greymouth mines was 313,044 tons, an increase of 29,379 tons over 1920, but a decrease of 201,750 tons when compared with the output of 514,795 tons in 1915. Under the heading " Other goods " the increase of 166,894 tons is due to general expansion of business in Auckland District, increase in ships' overseas goods, and in frozen-meat, dairy-produce, manures, and other miscellaneous traffic. The average number of men employed for the year was 14,252, against 13,385 for the previous year. Thirty-two members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division, 805 members resigned, 100 retired on superannuation, 48 died, 140 were dismissed, and 1,431 engaged. The sum of £18,638 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 187 wagons ; 650 new tarpaulins were also made in the railway workshops. The rolling-stock on order at the close of the year consisted of eighty-five engines, forty cars, sixteen bogie brake-vans, and 2,976 wagons. Thirteen hundred and twenty-four car, van, and wagon axles were replaced by modern axles, this 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 have been made in the accommodation at various stations. Twenty-two miles of track were relaid, and 105,579 new sleepers and 89,866 cubic yards of ballast placed in the track during the year. Protective works were carried out on rivers in the Canterbury District, at Oamaru, and on the Westland Section. Interlocking and signal appliances have been increased and sidings and yards improved at a number of stations. The work in connection with grade-easements in the Auckland District has been continued during the year, together with station rearrangements in connection therewith. Fixed signals were provided at two stations, and twenty-one stations were equipped with distant signals in addition to home signals previously installed. The stations now equipped with fixed signals number 300, while at 100 other stations interlocking appliances are installed. Special switch-locks were provided at four stations. Special locking arrangements at three switch-out tablet stations, and tablet locking at a number of other stations, have also been installed during the year. The railway telegraph and telephone systems were extended during the year, and now comprise 288 Morse sets, 1,677 telephones, 301 electric bells, 2,618 miles of poles, and 7.233 miles of wire. Electric lighting has been installed at a number of station buildings, yards, offices, engine-sheds, and dwellings. Visit of H.R.H. the Prince op Wales to the Dominion. In April and May last His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales made a tour of New Zealand' travelling by rail from Auckland to Rotorua and back to Auckland, thence to New Plymouth., Napier> and Wellington via Wairarapa line. His railway journeys in the South Island were —Picton to Blenheim, Nelson to Glenhope, Reefton to Hokitika, thence to Otira and Arthur's Pass to Christchurch, Christchurch to Invercargili, and back to Lyttelton, from which port he sailed in the H.M.S. " Renown " on the 21st May, 1920. The passenger traffic to the centres visited by the Royal Party was exceedingly heavy. The whole of the railway arrangements were, however, made and carried out satisfactorily. The catering for the party reflected great credit on the Controller of Railway Refreshment Services and the capable staff working under his directions.

Revenue.

The gross revenue for the year amounted to £6,908,531, an increase of £1,156,044 on the earnings ol the, previous year and £908,531 above the estimates. The particulars are as follows : — 1921. 1920. ■•■■■£ £ Passengers, ordinary .. .. .. .. 2,459,362 2,138,391 Season tickets .. .. ~ .. .. 198,717 165,596 Parcels, luggage, and mails .. .. .. 335,754 290,453 Goods .. .. .. .. .. .. 3,676,665 2,956,237 Miscellaneous, rents, &c. .. .. .. .. 238,034 201,810 £6,908,531 £5,752,487 The gross receipts per train-mile for all lines were 178-OOd., as against 186-00 d. for the preceding year, a decrease of 8-00 d. per train-mile. The North Island main line and branches produced 180-00 d., as against 183-50 d. per train-mile for the previous year, a decrease of 3-50 d. The South Island main line and branches gave a return of 173-00 d., as against 195-50 d. last year, a decrease of 22-50 d. The earnings from the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £8,989, an increase of £1,111 over the revenue for the previous year. The net revenue, £1,271,930, was equal to a return of 3-42 per cent, on the capital invested in the lines open for traffic (£37,235,254), and 3-07 per cent, on the capital invested in the opened and unopened lines (£41,425,496). ExPENPITUKE. The working expenditure for the year under review, including £10,458, the cost of working the Lake Wakatipu traffic, amounted to £5,636,601, an increase of £1,531,534 over the expenditure for last year. The ratio of expenditure to earnings was 81-59, as compared with 7.1-36 for the preceding year, an increase of 10-23. Expenditure.

The balance, £649,166, or 42-39 per cent., represents the enhanced prices for stores and materials used during the year in carrying out the operations of the Department, and £21,805, or 1-42 per cent., the increase in the cost of miscellaneous services. The cost-of-living bonuses were incorporated in the schedule to the Government Railways Act, 1920, to operate retrospectively from the Ist April of that year. On 6th March, 1921, a further bonus of Is. per day was granted to tradesmen, and the forty-four-hour week which had been effective in the workshops since 1919 was made applicable to those members of the Second Division who had previously worked forty-eight hours, a corresponding reduction in hours being made in the case of those members performing light duties and whose week was longer than forty-eight hours. Of the total increase in the expenditure of the Traffic Branch, salaries and wages absorb £360,033, or 87-20 per cent. ; stores £32,095, or 7-77 per cent. ; and miscellaneous £20,752, or 5-03 per cent. In the Locomotive Branch salaries and wages absorb £320,011, or 36-72 per cent. ; coal, oil, and other stores and materials £515,436, or 59-14 per cent. ; miscellaneous £36,002, or 4-14 per cent. Maintenance increases are represented by salaries and wages, £151,548, or 70-47 per cent. ; stores, £61,789, or 28-73 per cent.; and miscellaneous, £1,720, or 0-80 per cent. Under the head " Management," salaries and wages absorb £28,970, or 90-11 per cent, of the increase ; stores, £3,178, or 9-89 per cent. The sum of £218,182 was expended in the Maintenance Branch and charged to capital under the head " Additions to open lines." These comprise improvements to workshops, engine-depots, station ■facilities, water-services, additional dwellings ; signal, tablet, and telephone installation interlocking ; gasworks extension, and purchase of land. In the Locomotive Branch £112,248 was expended in the provision of additional rolling-stock, tarpaulins, Westinghouse brake, and workshops machinery.

Included in the total amount of £330,430 spent on additions to open lines is the sum of £31,661, representing increased cost of wages accruing to the staff engaged on the various works enumerated, as a result of the recommendations of the Boards already referred to. The rolling-stock in respect of which the charges were incurred under the head " Additions to open lines " included thirty-four bogie wagons, 127 four-wheeled wagons, and 650 tarpaulins, completed on the 31st March, 1921 ; and eighty-five locomotives, thirty-five carriages, thirteen brakevans, eighty-three bogie and 2,887 four-wheeled wagons, and 1,115 tarpaulins, incomplete but in hand on that date. Coal. The difficulties connected with the coal-supply continued for the major part of the year, necessitating the exploitation of foreign markets. Supplies were obtained from America, Japan, and Great Britain. An officer was also sent to Australia with satisfactory results, and the position at the end of the year was better than it had been since 1917 so far as concerned the regularity of supplies to enable train-services to be maintained. Since the year ending 31st March, 1915, soft coal has advanced from 12s. per ton to 265. per ton, hard coal from 245. per ton to 85s. per ton. s The cost of the coal actually consumed during the year ended 31st March, 1921, was £940,000 greater than for the year ending on 31st March, 1915. Cost of Materials. The high prices ruling for all materials essential to the operations of the Department are reflected in the expenditure for the year. Such materials now held in stock have to be debited at the enhanced rate against the work for which they are used. The extent to which the expenditure is affected by the price of materials purchased during the war period and at prcseut-day ruling rates is indicated in the following figures, showing the increases on a number of representative items: —

The foregoing list represents but. a small portion of the articles used in every-day operations, but it will serve to illustrate the effect war prices will continue to have on the expenditure until such time as high-priced stocks have been used up and present prices recede to figures approximating the pre-war rates. A leading British manufacturer recently stated that the average total cost of 1 ton of finished steel in 1913 was 110s. 3-ld., the corresponding cost in 1920 being 3635. 3-l.d.—approximately three and a quarter times what it was in 1913. The wages-cost in 1913 was 68s. 4-9 d., and in 1920 2965. 6-Bd., or four and a quarter times what it was in 1913. The increased cost in 1920 over 1913 was 2535. per ton, of which 2285. 2d. went in wages and 245. lOd, in other charges.

Railway Improvements. The expenditure during the year in connection with works authorized by the Railway Improvements Authorization Act, 1914, and charged to Capital Account was £63,729. The total expenditure on the scheme up to the 31st March, 1921, was £698,993. The scheme was estimated to cost £3,250,000, spread over a period of five years, by which time it was anticipated the whole of the works would have been completed, and the Department would have then have entered upon a second programme of improvements to provide for the essential requirements of the traffic. A period of seven years has now elapsed, and the Department finds itself in the position of having to deal with a traffic from which a revenue of nearly £7,000,000 was obtained last year with facilities that were considered to be totally inadequate for a business producing a revenue of £4,000,000 per annum in 1914. The slow rate of progress made with the improvements scheme is the direct outcome of the conditions created by the late war. The present shortage of accommodation at the various termini and other important sub-centres of the railway system is now having a very serious effect on the operations of the Department. It is a fruitful source of delay to traffic, and increases the cost of dealing with it. Notwithstanding the fact that post-war conditions have for the time being checked the rate of progress in the Dominion, there can be no doubt that within a comparatively short period the country will again enter upon an era of prosperity which will result in the very material and continuous increase in railway traffic. The natural resources and productivity of the country are such that its advancement cannot be retarded for any lengthened period. In order, therefore, that the Department may be placed in a position to deal satisfactorily, efficiently, and economically with the large volume of business that it will have to handle in the near future, it is imperative that provision be made without further delay for carrying out not only the scheme outlined in 1914, but others equally essential at other important depots. The works that should be immediately undertaken are : Deviation and new station at Palmerston North, and new stations at Auckland, Hawera, Hastings, Wellington, Lyttclton, Christchurch, and Timaru, as well as important works connected with the Canterbury-Westland lines in anticipation of the early opening of the Otira Tunnel. Provided adequate funds can be made available for absolutely necessary works connected with the working railways, steady employment for a period of at least five years could be found for 2,500 suitable men. In many places the limit of the capacity of a single line has nearly been reached, and it will become necessary to consider the question of providing for duplications. The first essential is, however, the provision of adequate and convenient terminal facilities, which form the master-key of the railway-transport problem. The necessity for accelerating the rate of progress of these works cannot be too strongly emphasized. Houses for Staff. During the year ending 31st March eighty-four houses were completed and occupied by the Railway staff, and sixty-three others under construction, making a total of 147. The, Housing Factory. —Good progress has also been made in connection with the building of the housing factory and sawmill at Prankton Junction. When the factory is completed a material saving will be made in the cost of house building and equipment, special attention having been given to the elimination of man-power wherever possible. The housing programme of the Railway Department for its own staff is of considerable magnitude. Provided the necessary funds are available it will be possible to meet the urgent requirements of the railways in a comparatively short period, and the Department will, as intimated in my report of last year, be in a position to supply other Government Departments with house-material cut to size. The factory will also be capable of utilization in connection with the building of cars and wagons. Wages and Conditions of Staff. In accordance with the recommendation made by the Railways Committee in October, 1919, when the Government Railways Amendment Act was under consideration, a Board, consisting of two assessors and presided over by His Honour Mr. Justice Stringer, was appointed to deal with the claims of Railway staff for advances in pay in excess of the rates provided in the schedule to the 1919 Act. After full investigation, Mr. Justice Stringer recommended the payment of a bonus of Is. per day to married men and widowers and widows with children, and 6d. per day to single men and widowers without dependants. Effect was duly given to these recommendations ; but the Locomotive men, being still dissatisfied, struck on the 27th April, 1920, while His Royal Highness was at Rotorua, and the members of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants also ceased work. As a result of negotiations the men resumed work on the 3rd May, 1920. In June, 1920, a special Conciliation Commission was set up to further review the rates of pay and conditions of work of employees of the First and Second Division respectively, and to report what increases, if any, had taken place in the cost of living since the 1st April, 1920, and what allowances, if any, in addition to bonus, to the ordinary rates of pay should be made to members of the First and Second Divisions in respect of such increases. In respect to the First Division, the Board recommended that the bonus granted from the 1st January, 1920, in pursuance of the recommendation made by His Honour Mr. Justice Stringer, should be cancelled as from the 1st April, 1920, and a bonus at the rate of £20 per annum be granted to each member from Grade 8 of the First Division, and a bonus of £50 per annum to each member from Grades 2 to 7 inclusive, and to each casual employee in the clerical staff, and captains, mates, and engineers in the Wakatipu steamer service, to date from the 1st April, 1920.

In connection with the Second Division, other than members of the Locomotive-running, it was recommended that the bonuses granted by Mr. Justice Stringer be cancelled as from the Ist April, 1920, and a bonus at the rate of 3s. per day be granted to all members of the Second Division as from the Ist April, 1920, inclusive. In respect to the Locomotive-running, a revised scale of pay was recommended, and the Board reported that in fixing the rates they had given special consideration to the following three main factors : (1) Increased cost of living ; (2) present, standard of living ; (3) supply of and demand for labour. Any appreciable alteration, therefore, in any or all of these factors may necessitate further increases or decreases in wages. In February, 1921, another Board was set up, at the instance of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, to inquire into and report as to what increase, if any, had taken place in the cost of living since the Ist April, 1920, and what allowance, if any, by way of bonus, in addition to the ordinary rates of pay, should be made to the members of the Second Division of the staff in respect of any such increase. The Board recommended that an increase of Is. per day be granted to tradesmen, and the forty-four-hour week be made applicable to other members of the Second Division in grades specified in the schedule, corresponding reduction in hours of work being made in the case of those members employed in certain capacities to which the forty-eight-hours week had not applied: the alterations in rates of pay and conditions recommended in the report to be considered as being in full settlement of any claims made by the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants for any increases in wages in respect of any advance in the cost of living to date (3rd February, 1921), and to be operative from the 6th March, 1921. The forty-four hours were extended to the members of the Locomotive-running Branch. Full effect was given to all the recommendations of the respective Boards, with the distinct understanding that they shall be revised as the cost of living rises or falls. In addition to granting a direct monetary payment by way of bonus, recommendations were made which materially altered the conditions of employment, and incidentally added greatly to the cost of salaries and wages. On the 11th November, 1920, the statutory rates of pay were amended to embody the 3s. bonus, and became operative from Ist April, 1920. The following figures show the effect on the wages for the year ending 31st March, 1921, as compared with the previous year : — Year ending Hist Year ending 31st T March, 1921.

Bonuses paid to Members of the Second Division. Members of the Second Division have been granted the following bonuses :— From the Ist April, 1916 : Is. per day. From the 9th December, 1917 : Married men and widowers with children, Is. per day. From the Ist October, 1918 : Is, per day. From the Ist April, 1919, these bonuses were added to the daily rate of pay and granted to married and single men alike. From the Ist January, 1920— Married men and widowers and widows with children, Is. per day. Single men and widowers and widows without dependants, 6d. per day. On the Ist April, 1920, the bonuses granted on the Ist January, 1920, were cancelled, and 3s. per day added to the rates of pay, equivalent to a bonus of 3s. On the 6th March, 1921, members were granted a forty-four-hour week and the daily rates of pay altered to hourly rates to enable them to earn as much in forty-four hours as they had done previously in forty-eight. This alteration is equivalent to a bonus of Is. 4d. per day to the lowest-paid member. 6th March, 1921 : The tradesmen who had been granted the forty-four-hour week from a prior date were granted a further bonus of Is. per day to provide improvement in their pay commensurate to that enjoyed by other members from same date. The total bonuses, therefore, paid to members of the Second Division of the Railway staff since the Ist April, 1916, amount to 7s. 4d. per day. The total number of free passes issued to members of the Railway service and their families travelling on holiday leave was —First class, 13,212 ; second class, 6,668. These passes represent free travel of 18,762 first-class and 10,324 second-class passengers, making a total number of passengers carried free 2.9,086. The estimated value of the journeys covered by the passes was £149,811. Privilege tickets to the number of 128,000 were also issued to members of the staff at one-fourth the passenger rates, the total amount of fares paid being £14,403. The difference between privilege and ordinary rates represents a saving to the staff of £43,209. General. During the six years commencing 1916 the rate of relaying has not only fallen very far short of the ideal standard for that work, but is very much below the average of the relaying done in the six years from 1910 to 1915. The average rate of relaying for the six years 1910 to 1915 was — Main lines (70 lb. track) .. .. .. 84 miles per annum. Branch lines (53 lb. and 56 lb. track) .. .. 29 113 The average rate of relaying for the six years 1916 to 1921 was — Main lines (70 lb. track) .. " .. .. 17 „ Branch lines (53 lb. and 56 lb. track) .. .. .. 6 ~ 23 Owing to the inability of the Department to carry out during the war period the usual programme of relaying, sleeper renewal, and rolling-stock construction, the expenditure that would otherwise have been incurred on such works during the period intervening between 1914 and date was saved and the amount made available for use by the Government for war purposes. For many years the Department was strongly criticized regarding the high rate of expenditure on the maintenance of its tracks and rolling-stock. The present condition of the track, plant, and appliances after having stood the test of the war period, during which a minumum expenditure only could be incurred, amply proves the soundness of the policy followed in maintaining track, rolling-stock, and other appliances at the highest standard of practical efficiency. Nevertheless, it is very desirable to now make a strong effort, to overtake some of the belated work, and once more bring the lines back to the high standard they had attained before the war. The attainment of this end involves provision for carrying out a comprehensive programme of relaying on an increased scale and of normal pre-war construction of rolling-stock. Taking interest at 3| per cent., which is the rate the Department is required by the Government policy to earn on the capital (£37,235,254) invested in the lines, the year's operations show a deficit of £124,375. Omitting the increase in wages charged to " Additions to open lines " votes, &c, the increase of £860,563 in the ordinary working account made in the wages bill alone, in giving effect to the recommendations of the Wages Board, would of itself have been sufficient to pay 2-31 per cent. on the whole of the capital invested in the working railways. For the purpose of meeting the cost of the increased wages, fares and rates were increased by approximately 19 per cent., dating from August, 1920 ; but, by reas >n of the fact that the increases in pay were made to operate retrospectively as from the Ist April, the expenditure had been increased very materially for five months before any compensating benefit could be obtained from the amended rates which could not be made retrospective. Without taking interest charges into consideration, the expenditure for the year on the Whangarei line exceeded the total revenue by £540, on the Kaihu line by £1,286, on the Nelson Section by £5,512, and on the Lake Wakatipu steamers by £1,469 ; while the net returns from the Gisborne, South Island Main Trunk, Westland, Westport, and Picton Sections fell short of the amounts required to pay interest charges on the capital invested.

Allowing for interest at 3f per cent., the loss for the year on the Whangarei Section was £32,691 ; Kaihu Section, £5,042 ; Gisborne Section, £1.9,213 ; South Island main lines, £327,297 ; Westland Section, £57,528 ; Westport Section, £4,942 ; Nelson Section, £22,197 ; Picton Section, £24,680 ; Lake Wakatipu steamers, £3,108 ; total, £496,698. It is abundantly evident that so long as the inflated price of all stores and materials used in the operations of the Department and the existing high rates of wages and conditions of employment resulting from the war remain operative, a continuation of the pre-war policy, adopted when revenue was buoyant and operating-costs were low, of providing services as a convenience, will have a most serious effect on the finances of the Department. The existing conditions necessitate serious consideration being devoted to the question of whether the Department is to continue to run at a loss services that in the past were laid on as a pure convenience, or to provide only services that are essential to meet the reasonable and legitimate business requirements of the country. To this there should be only one answer ; nevertheless, every proposal of the Department to discontinue unprofitable train services and run the others on business lines has met with strong opposition from end to end of the Dominion, the cumulative effect of this is indicated in the figures quoted above. Reports dealing with the railways in South Africa., America, Great Britain, and the Australian States show quite clearly that the railways in those countries are suffering from the effects of the war to a much greater extent than New Zealand, and the deficits for the year greatly exceed ours. In summarizing the results several of the Administrations give prominence to the heavy cost involved in the increase in pay and alteration of conditions made by respective Wages Boards, and say definitely that the application to the railways of a rigid eight-hour day, each day standing by itself, makes the cost of operating prohibitive. This confirms the experience in this country, as indicated in the results of working for the year now under review. The extent to which railway administrations have increased their charges for the purpose of compensation for advanced cost is shown by the following figures : —

The latest report of the New South Wales railways shows a deficit of £577,032 for the year ended 30th June, 1921 ; South Australia, a deficit of £561,304; Victoria, £651,635 ; Western Australia, £418,370; and Queensland, £1,739,475; South Africa, for 1920, £598,898. In the United States alone forty-eight of the first-class lines earned revenue that was insufficient to meet the working expenditure. The causes of the deficit in operating the railways referred to above, and of the very serious losses made by Canadian, French, Italian, and American railway systems, have been the prime factors in producing the deficit of £124,000 resulting from the year's working of the New Zealand railways. In making this statement I do not wish to invite any general comparison as between the working of New Zealand railways and other countries. It is obvious that such a comparison, to be of any real value, must, owing to widely varying conditions, particularly in matters of policy, involve a much more thorough-going scrutiny of results than is indicated by the figures I have quoted. But when on a mere general survey of results, such as have been made above, the same tendency is observed on all the different systems, it bespeaks a common element affecting them all. This element is, of course, in the present instance, the influence of the war, and the purpose of the statement is merely to indicate how it has affected the railways in New Zealand in common with those in the other countries referred to. I have, &c, R. W. McVilly, The Hon. the Minister of Railways. General Manager.

MAINTENANCE. Mr. F. W. Mac Lean, M.lnst.C.E., Chief Engineer, reports as follows :— The track, buildings, structures, and appliances have been maintained in efficient order and repair. During the year it has been possible to increase the amount of relaying over that of recent years, but the extent of this and other necessary work carried out is still much below requirements. The difficulties referred to in former reports of obtaining labour and materials have now given place to the very urgent need at the present time to keep expenditure to the lowest possible limits. It appears to be out of the question under existing circumstances to overtake arrears, but essential renewals must be faced, and these cannot be undertaken without increased expenditure. 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 .. .. .. .. .. 20 Branch lines, 40 lb., relaid with 55 lb. material .. .. .. .. 1J Branch lines, relaid with second-hand material . . . . .. .. | Total relaying for the year.. .. .. .. ..22 Sleepers. —los,s79 new sleepers were placed in track during the year. Ballasting. —B9,B66 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 various districts. In June the Kaipara Branch north of Kaipara Flats was blocked for four days owing to slips and washouts. A number of slips came down in the southern portion of the Ohakune district early in October, resulting in a blockage of traffic for one and a half days. Further slips occurred in the same locality at the end of the same month, but delay to traffic was slight. A large slip occurred at the north end of Whangamomona Tunnel, Toko Branch, on the 19th April, and traffic was blocked until the 7th May. Heavy rain on the 26th'and 27th October caused slips and floods throughout the Wanganui district, the most serious delay to traffic occurring on the Foxton Branch, where traffic was suspended from the 27th October to the Ist November, 1920.
