1942. NEW ZEALAND.

RAILWAYS STATEMENT (BY THE MINISTER OF RAILWAYS, HON. R. SEMPLE).

Mr. Speaker,— At the close of the fiscal year 1940-41 and with the prospect of a continuance of war conditions, indications were not lacking that the Dominion's railways would be operated under conditions of increased piessure during the succeeding twelve months. The results of working for the financial year which ended on 31st March last reveal that this expectation has been realized to the full, more business having been handled by the railways during the past twelve months than in any previous year in the history of the Dominion.

FINANCIAL. The financial results of the year's working may be regarded as very satisfactory. The gross revenue reached a new high level of £11,938,338, eclipsing the previous record figure established last year by no less a sum than £778,120 (6-97 per cent.), and maintaining the progressive gain in earnings which has been so marked a feature of railway working since 1935. Expenditure for the twelve months was £10,056,034, and the net revenue £1,882,304. These figures represent an increase of £590,460 (6-24 per cent.) and £187,660 (11-07 per cent.) respectively compared with 1940-41. On a percentage basis the net return on capital was 2-90 per cent., compared with 2-64 per cent, in the preceding twelve months and 1-96 per cent, in 1940. Both earnings and expenditure were affected by the abnormal conditions arising from the "war. Revenue benefited by the diversion to rail of road traffic due to restrictions on the sale and consumption of petrol, to shipping difficulties, and as the outcome of the Government's policy of co-ordinating rail and road transport, and was further augmented by the carriage of military personnel and large quantities of war supplies and equipment. Expenditure was higher by reason of an increase in maintenance and transportation expenses necessitated by the increased volume of traffic handled and of the payment to the lowerpaid staff of the cost-of-living bonus for a full twelve months, as against only seven months in the previous year.

RAILWAYS AND THE WAR. Both on the productive side and in its fundamental sphere—the maintenance of transport services—the railways contribution to the Dominion s war effort has been particularly comprehensive, the Department's well maintained and equipped workshops establishments and operating-plant having enabled it to meet, efficiently and expeditiously, all calls made upon it as a result of the expansion of national productive activities and the carriage of military personnel and war supplies.

The manufacturing facilities of the railway workshops are being used increasingly for the production of war materials, and a wide diversity of munitions, ranging from universal carriers, beaverettes, Bren-gun carriers, trench mortars, and casings for bombs to such smaller items as camp-kitchen utensils, are being produced on an ever-increasing scale. Nearly one thousand of the workshops staff of skilled artisans and technicians are now exclusively engaged on munitions work. Many of these members are working long hours daily and at week-ends in order that defence orders may be fulfilled to schedule. The transport of troops and their equipment during the year has thrown a heavy burden on the Department's operating-plant and resources and has aggravated an already very difficult staffing position. During the twelve months under review no less than 2,176 special trains were made available for the conveyance of approximately 1,250,000 members of the armed forces. These special trains were provided without the necessity of cancelling or curtailing any of the regular time-table services available to the public and "were scheduled during a year of record freight traffic, much of it being primary produce for overseas despatch which required rapid rail transport to main ports in order to keep shipping moving during the still critical stages of the" battle of the oceans. Associated with the movement of troops by rail has been the provision of meals, the Department's provedoring services having been extensively availed o"f to provide set meals and light counter refreshments to members of the armed forces undertaking journeys by rail. The result was the highest revenue in the history of the catering branch of the Service and a great strain on a staff depleted by war conditions. In addition to the services rendered by members of the railways staff in connection with the foregoing activities, a total of 5,935 employees have been released for service with the armed forces, while a further 141 have been loaned to outside organizations engaged on works of national importance. Further depletion of the staff establishment may be anticipated as the war continues, additional personnel being released for military service from time to time. Appeals by the Department for the retention in their civil occupation of trained personnel have been reduced to a minimum consistent with the urgent need for maintaining railway supply and transport services. Large numbers of temporary male workers, also women, and in recent months retired railwaymen, have been recruited to replace those members of the staff who are now serving with the defence forces. A recent innovation has been the employment of women on portering duties, an experiment which has given satisfactory results and is now being extended to all main railway centres. . Because of the necessity for conserving paper-supplies, the usual extensive review of the Department's operations has been omitted on this occasion. While to _ the members of the community generally the significance and extent of the railways' services in this time of national crisis can only be conjectured, it is probably true to say there is universal recognition and appreciation throughout the Dominion that, both directly and indirectly, the railways are making a most impressive and vital contribution towards the defence of our country. CONCLUSION. In conclusion, I desire to record my keen appreciation of the manner in which the General Manager, Mr. E. Casey; the Assistant General Manager, Mr. J. Sawers; togeth.er with the executive officers and all sections of the staff have responded to the onerous demands made upon them in connection with the prosecution of the national war effort during the most trying as well as the most successful twelve months of the railways' existence. I would like also to mention that at no time have the men of the railway service been more loyal and worked to better advantage and that the relationships between the Minister, the Management, and the employees are thoroughly harmonious.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. New Zealand Government Railways Department, Head Office, Wellington, 26th June, 1942. The Hon. the Minister of Railways. Sir, — I have the honour to submit my annual report on the working of the New Zealand Railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1942. The report covers only the more important aspects of the year's operations, the usual comprehensive review of activities having been dispensed with on this occasion in view of the urgent need to conserve paper-supplies.

WORKING RESULT (Whole Undertaking).

Revenue. —The gross revenue earned, £11,938,338, was a record and exceeded the previous record figure established in the previous year by no less a sum than £778,120 (6-97 per cent.). The increased revenue was mainly due to conditions arising from the war—i.e., limited use of motor transport as a result of restrictions on the sale of petrol, movement of the armed forces, carriage of war equipment and supplies, and to longer haulages of goods consequent upon the centralization of shipping at main ports. Expenditure. —The expenditure for the year amounted to £10,056,034 and exceeded last year's figure by £590,460 (6-24 per cent.). Most of the increase was in maintenance and transportation expenses and was brought about by the greater volume of traffic handled. The payment of the cost-of-living bonus to the lower-paid staff for a full year, as against only seven months of the previous financial year, absorbed an additional £97,000. The ratio of operating expenditure to revenue was 85-73, compared with 86-72 in 1941 and 90-66 in 1940. Net Revenue — The net revenue amounted to £1,882,304, an improvement of £187,660 compared with the preceding financial year. This satisfactory result was achieved notwithstanding that in the twelve months under review the sum of £1,378,461 was set aside from the revenue account for depreciation, renewals and other reserves, and superannuation subsidy prior to arriving at net revenue. INTEREST CHARGES. The net revenue fell short of the full interest charge for the year by £873,842. Interest charges for 1941-42 amounted to £2,756,146, compared with £2,746,544 in the previous year, an increase of £9,602. MILEAGE OF LINES OPEN FOR TRAFFIC. The total mileage of lines open for traffic on 31st March, 1942, was 3,389 miles 74 chains. CAPITAL ACCOUNT. On the 31st March, 1942, the capital invested in the lines open for traffic, including the steamers and plant on Lake Wakatipu and other subsidiary services, was £64,904,020. This represents an increase of £141,226 as compared with the previous year.

RAILWAY OPERATION. lhe results of railway operation (excluding subsidiary services and miscellaneous non-operating revenue) on the various sections for the year ended 31st March, 1942, were as under

OPERATING REVENUE. The following table shows the operating revenue under the main headings, together with appropriate comparisons with the previous year's figures. Information regarding receipts from subsidiary services and miscellaneous non-operating revenue appears later in this report.

With the exception of luggage, which shows a small decline, the revenue under all heads has again shown improvement, the variations with the previous year for main classes of traffic being- - Passenger, 13-72 per cent, increase ; parcels, 6-98 per cent, increase ; goods, 5-21 per cent, increase : and miscellaneous, 6• .18 per cent, increase. Passenger journeys (ordinary) in 1941-42 exceeded the previous year's figures by 1 665 540 (17-64 per cent.) and reached the high total of 11,105,627. This substantial increase was brought about very largely as the result of diversion of road traffic to rail in consequence of petrol restrictions and to the movement of the armed forces. Receipts from the conveyance of goods and live-stock, and the tonnage of goods carried, were the highest ever recorded in the history of the system, the figures for 1941-42"compared with the previous year being :— r t> 1941.

General merchandise traffic benefited by the placing on rail of large quantities of military stores and equipment.

Increased maintenance and transportation charges brought about by the heavier volume of traffic handled were the principal causes of the higher expenditure. Other items of increased expenditure were the payment of the cost-of-living bonus for a full year, as against seven months m the preceding twelve months, £97,000 ; E.P.S. expenditure, £33,354 ; and increased cost and consumption of coal, £11,805. SUBSIDIARY SERVICES. The following table shows the variations in revenue and expenditure for the year as compared with 1940-41

The variations in subsidiary services revenue and expenditure, as indicated in the foregoing summary, may be attributed, in the main, to factors arising from the war and to which reference has been made earlier in this report. STORES BRANCH. An analysis of the amount expended in connection with the purchase of stores during the year is as under :—

The increases in payments are due to the receipt of heavy shipments of munition materials and also to increased importations of sleepers and hardwood timbers from Australia. The total issues to all Branches (including coal) for the year amounted to £3,120,190 3s. 5d., as against £3,014,015 ss. 7d. for the previous year, an increase of £106,174 17s. lOd. PUBLICITY ACTIVITIES. Although a regular flow of railway publicity to the press was maintained throughout the year, influences arising from the war have restricted activities considerably. As in past years, however, adequate publicity has been given, as required, to the travel and other facilities made available by the Department and to railway operations generally. , . Continuing a practice of many years standing, a friendly liaison has been maintained between the Department and the press generally, and I'desire to express my appreciation of the kindly consideration and assistance extended to the Department in this regard. RAILWAYS AND THE WAR. Last year's report gave an indication of some of the special activities which have been undertaken by the Department and its staff in connection with the prosecution of the national war effort. In the twelve months under review these activities have been enlarged and are being energetically pursued. Large quantities of war munitions covering a wide range of vehicles and other equipment and materials have been manufactured in the railway workshops during the year, nearly one thousand members of the workshops staff of skilled artisans and technicians being exclusively engaged on this special work. Twelve divisions of the Railways Emergency Precautions Service, which was established as a separate branch of the Emergency Reserve Corps on 11th February, 1942, are now functioning at mam railway centres throughout the Dominion. The total membership is approaching the 15,000 mark.

Emergency equipment in considerable quantities lias been made available during the course of the year, and with the addition of mobile fire-fighting trains, which are about to be placed in service and located at strategic points, the Department is well organized to meet any emergent conditions which might arise as a result of offensive action by the enemy. As at 31st March, 1942, the number of employees serving with the armed forces totalled 5 935. It is a matter of profound regret that seventy-nine members of the Department's staff have sacrificed their lives whilst serving with the armed forces during the present war. Since its inception, the National Patriotic Fund has benefited to the extent of £14,152 by way of voluntary subscriptions deducted from the pay of railway employees. In addition, the Department's staff have deposited m fortnightly instalments the sum of £26,342 in National Savings Accounts. TRACK, PLANT, AND ROLLING STOCK.
