The Board has the honour to transmit, for the information of Parliament, the following report upon the transactions of the Government Railways Superannuation Fund for the year ended 31st March, 1930 :— The Revenue Account, Balance-sheet, and statements in connection therewith will be found appended. The balance of income over expenditure for the year amounts to £133,245 os. 7d., as compared with £127,548 2s. 9d. for the previous year. Members' Contributions. —The income under the heading of members' contributions shows a steady increase, being £175,872 35., as compared with £166,439 3s. 3d. for the previous year, an increase of £9,432 19s. 9d. Table B, Statement of Contributors, discloses that there is a net increase of 326 members. The contributors at 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 per cent, have increased by 394, 18, 12, 4, and 1 respectively, while contributors at 3 per cent, and 4 per cent, have decreased by 44 and 59 respectively. Contingent Contributors. —During the year 67 casual employees elected to contribute to the fund, so that in the event of their subsequently being permanently appointed they would not be faced with having to pay accumulated arrears on account of service prior to permanent appointment. The total number of employees so contributing at the end of the year under review was 235, and the amount standing to their credit £10,826 2s. 9d. Subsidy. —During the year the sum of £170,000 was paid into the fund by the Working Railways Department. Interest. —The interest earned amounts to £73,123 Bs. 2d., an increase of £7,586 2s. Bd. as compared with the previous year. Reference to Table C, State of Investments, shows that the average rate of interest on securities held at the 31st March, 1930, was 5-780 per cent., and the average rate earned on the mean funds for the year 5-770 per cent., as against 5-823 per cent, and 5-761 per cent. respectively for the previous year. Owing to the increase in interest collections the expenditure, under the heading " Public Trust Commission," is £202 Bs. Bd. in excess of the figures for the previous year. Life Allowances. —The expenditure on account of life allowances to members amounts to £249,235 15s. 2d., an increase of £8,525 9s. lOd. as compared with the figures for the previous year. The increases under this heading were £12,849 9s. lid. for the year ended 31st March, 1929, and £12,610 13s. 4d. for the year ended 31st March, 1928. On referring to Table A, Statement of Allowances, it will be seen that the average amount of the 130 allowances granted during the year is £197 14s. 9d., and that the average amount of the 94 allowances discontinued is £124 17s. Id. Allowances to Widows and Children. —The expenditure under the heading of allowances to widows and children shows a decrease of £322 17s. 9d. The sum of £12,111 18s. 9d., being £224 13s. 6d. less than the previous year, was transferred from the Working Railways Account during the year on account of the increased payments to widows and children as provided in section 114, Part 111, of the Government Railways Act, 1926. Approval was received for the continuance of the cost-of-living bonus to annuitants in cases of special hardship where the allowance was less than £100, the amount of bonus granted being sufficient to bring the allowance up to £100, but with a maximum bonus of £26. The bonus is provided for out of the Working Railways Account, and is not a charge on the Superannuation Fund. At the 31st March, 1930, there were 1,514 members, 502 widows, and 421 children, making a total of 2,437 persons actually on the fund, involving an annual liability of £272,504 10s. lid.
