1944 NEW ZEALAND

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

Mr. Speaker,— This is the fourth Railways Statement it lias been my pleasure to present, and I am gratified to be able to report another very good performance on the part of the railways. FINANCIAL The financial results of the year's operations may be regarded as entirely satisfactory. The gross revenue, £15,325,306, set a new record, exceeding last year's revenue by £1,196,313 (8-47 per cent.). Expenditure for the twelve months amounted to £12,757,336, an increase of £1,454,923 (12-87 per cent.). The net revenue of £2,567,970 showed a decrease of £258,610 (9-15 per cent.) compared with 1942 -43, and on a percentage basis the net return on capital was 3-71 per cent., as compared with 4-31 per cent, last year. A factor in the increased expenditure which warrants special mention is the provision of £410,500 for deferred maintenance. During the war period the extraordinarily heavy volume of traffic has meant abnormal wear-ami-tear on the rollingstock, track, and equipment generally, while the shortage of material due to war requirements, coupled with the difficult man-power situation, has necessarily meant that less renewal and replacement work could be done than would have been the case in time of peace. In such circumstances it is better, while railway finance is buoyant, to charge to working-expenses an amount estimated to meet maintenance expenditure which would have been incurred but for wartime conditions rather than to make a more favourable showing for the present and load such costs on to the post-war period. TRAFFIC The amount of traffic handled during the year was greater than ever before in the history of the railways. The number of ordinary passenger journeys exceeded last year's record by 1,146,109 (6-67 per cent.), and the tonnage hauled also set a new record of 9,026,626 tons, an increase of 1 -56 per cent, over last year's figure. Both the traffic handled and the revenue would have been substantially greater had it not, unfortunately, been necessary to impose restrictions on both goods and passenger traffic in January of this year. Up till that time the results showed much greater increases over the comparable figures for last year than obtained at the end of the year. COAL POSITION Following the mention of the restrictions which had to be imposed, it is of interest to note the heavy increase in the purchases and consumption of coal by the railways since the outbreak of war. For the year ended 31st March, 1940, the purchases of New Zealand coal amounted, in round figures, to 490,000 tons, while for the year under review the purchases reached 615,000 tons'; the consumption figures for coal used by the Locomotive Branch in the same years were 492,000 tons, as against 634,000 tons, an increase of nearly 29 per cent.

D.—2

STAFF The staff position has been eased somewhat by the return to railway duty of the 16th and 17th Railway Operating Companies, which had given splendid service overseas. There are still, however, 5,440 railwaymen serving with the Armed Forces, and the staff is still short of its pre-war strength by 2,123, or 8-24 per cent. While this gap remains, heavy demands will continue to be made on the railway employees, but with the easing of the situation they have been able to overtake at least some of the overdue leave and enjoy a well-deserved rest. PROSPECTS One cannot overlook the fact that the phenomenal increase in railway traffic during the last four years has been largely brought about by the wartime conditions, resulting, as they have, in a shortage of tires and petrol, a shortage of coastal shipping, longer haulages due to the centralization of shipping, and the heavy movement of Armed Forces personnel and military stores and equipment. During the year under review the revenue from both military fares and freights showed substantial increases, and fares from this source provided 34 per cent, of the total passenger revenue, while military freights provided over 9 per cent, of the total goods revenue. Under present conditions, and apart altogether from the present restrictions, it cannot be expected that the existing high level of traffic will be maintained. The war has departed farther and farther from our shores, and a substantial decrease in military fares and freights must be anticipated. No doubt some increase in production may be expected, but I do not think it can be nearly sufficient to counterbalance the loss. In view of these conditions, it would not be prudent to expect anything but a substantial reduction in net revenue for the coming year. EXECUTIVE PERSONNEL Since my last Statement a considerable number of changes in executive personnel have taken place. Among those who have retired on superannuation are Mr. E. Casey, Genera] Manager, Mr. A. L. Smith, Transportation Superintendent, and Mr. W. Bishop, Chief Accountant. To these and to all those who have retired during the year I express my appreciation of the excellent service they have rendered. 1 should like particularly to thank Mr. E. Casey for his unfailing courtesy and consideration during the years I have held the portfolio of Railways, and to pay a tribute to the splendid work he has done during an extremely difficult and trying period. As from Ist February, 1944, Mr. J. Sawers (Assistant General Manager) was appointed General Manager, and Mr. C. R. Ricsop was appointed Assistant General Manager. CONCLUSION In conclusion, I should like to say that the relationships between the Minister, the Management, and the employees have continued to be thoroughly harmonious throughout the year, and I should like to record my appreciation of the splendid way in which the whole staff has responded to the special calls made upon them in handling a record traffic.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS New Zealand Government Railways Department, Head Office, Wellington, 14th July, 1944. 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, 1944. The report covers only the more important aspects of the year's operations, the usual comprehensive review of activities having been again dispensed with in view of the need to conserve paper supplies.

WORKING RESULT (Whole Undertaking)

Revenue.-—The gross revenue earned again established a new record, exceeding the previous record figure of last year by £1,196,313 (8-47 per cent.). The increased revenue was due to the higher earning-capacity of the community generally, increased industrial and commercial activity, and increased receipts from the movement of Armed Forces personnel and the carriage of military stores and equipment. Expenditure.- - The increased expenditure was chiefly due to the cost of handling the larger volume of traffic, the increased cost of stores and materials, increased wages-costs, and the provision of £410,500 for deferred maintenance. The last item was charged to operating expenditure and transferred to the general reserve. The ratio of operating expenditure to revenue was 84-41, compared with 80-71 for the year 1942-43. Net Revenue. —The net revenue showed a decrease of £258,610 (9-15 per cent.) compared with last year. This was a satisfactory result when allowance is made for the provision for deferred maintenance referred to above. In addition to that provision, the sum of £1,489,175 was set aside from the revenue account for depreciation, renewals, and other reserves, and superannuation subsidy prior to arriving at net revenue. INTEREST CHARGES Interest charges totalled £2,765,724, an increase of £143,011 compared with the previous year, and the net revenue fell short of the interest charges by £197,754. MILEAGE OF LINES OPEN FOR TRAFFIC The mileage of lines open for traffic at 31st March, 1944, was 3,504 miles 01 chains, being an increase of 44 miles 18 chains over the figure for the preceding year. The increased mileage is due to the Railways Department taking over the section between Inangahua and Te Kuha on sth December, 1943, and the section between Clarence and Kaikoura on 13th March, 1944. Details of the additions made during 1943-44 are shown hereunder : — M. ch. Mileage of lines open for traffic; 31st March, 1943 .. .. .. 3,459 63 Mileage opened for traffic during 1943-44 — M. ch.

This represents an increase of £2,314,062 as compared with the previous year.

RENEWALS, DEPRECIATION, AND EQUALIZATION RESERVE FUNDS The position with regard to the renewals, depreciation, betterments, and equalization accounts is as under :—

RAILWAY OPERATION The results of railway operation (excluding subsidiary services and miscellaneous non-operating revenue) on the various sections for the year ended 31st March, 1944, 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.

Passenger traffic was again heavy, the number of passenger journeys (ordinary) being 18,317,323, an increase of 1,146,109 (6-67 per cent.) over last year's record figure. During the year ended 31st March, 1944, civilian travel restrictions operated in the South Island for the last eleven weeks and in the North Island for the last nine weeks of the year, while last year the restrictions were operative throughout both Islands over the Easter period and in the North Island for approximately five and one-half months. There was also an increase in the movement of Armed Forces personnel, including the furlough travelling of soldiers returning from overseas. The comparative figures for the revenue from the conveyance of goods and live-stock are set out in the table above. The tonnage hauled, 9,026,626 tons, set a new record and exceeded last year's figure by 139,537 tons (1-56 per cent.). The average haul increased from eighty-eight miles to ninety-two miles, and this increase of 4-55 per cent, was an appreciable factor in the freight revenue return. The principal increases in freight revenue were in respect of fresh meat, £73,253 ; frozen meat, £24,860 ; root crops, £36,085 ; coal, £44,721 ; and general merchandise, £264,133.

SUBSIDIARY SERVICES The following table shows the variations in revenue and expenditure for the year as compared with 1942-43 :—

STORES BRANCH An analysis of the amount expended in connection with the purchase of stores daring the year is as under : —

The increases in payments are due to the receipt of heavy shipments of munition materials and to higher prices for railway material. The total issues to all branches (including coal and munition material) for the year amounted to £5,364,602, as against £3,870,859 for the previous year, an increase of £1,493,743.

ACCIDENTS It is with regret that I have to record two serious accidents during the year. In the first case the Cromwell-Dunedin passenger-train left the rails between Hyde and Rock and Pillar on 4th June, 1943, and twenty-one passengers wore killed and forty-six injured. In the second case the Upper Hutt - Wellington passenger-train was derailed between Haywards and Andrews on Bth November, 1943, and three passengers were killed and nineteen injured. Both accidents were the subject of investigation by Boards of inquiry and the reports published. Such of the recommendations of the Boards of inquiry as were capable of immediate implementation, and especially that dealing with the strengthening and maintenance of the track between Wellington and Upper Hutt, have been carried out, and the others will be dealt with immediately conditions permit. PUBLICITY ACTIVITIES Although railway publicity has been curtailed by war conditions, every endeavour has been made to keep the public informed as to the Department's services and facilities. Friendly liaison has been maintained with the press generally, and I desire to express my appreciation of the courtesy and consideration extended from that quarter. TRACK, PLANT, AND ROLLING-STOCK The track, bridges, structures, signalling appliances, rolling-stock, locomotives, and other plant are in good order and efficient for the work required of them.

STAFF The following table shows the staff position, together with appropriate comparisons with the previous year's figures (the figures do not include the railway employees serving in the Armed Forces)

At the outbreak of war the total staff employed by the railways was 25,765, so that as at 31st March, 1944, the number employed was less than the pre-war staff'by 2,123, or 8-24 per cent. The Department has since the outbreak of war lost the services of 3,444 of the permanent staff through deaths, resignations, retirements, and dismissals. The improved position as at 31st March, 1944, compared with 31st March, 1943, is due mainly to the return to duty with the Department of the majority of the members of the 16th and 17th Railway Operating Companies after a fine record of service abroad. From the Department 5,440 men are still serving wit!) the Armed Forces, and it is regretfully recorded that since the outbreak of war 248 employees have made the supremo sacrifice, while 61 have been posted missing and 187 are known to be prisoners of war. Railways employees have assisted the National Patriotic Fund by way of voluntary subscriptions deducted from their pay to the extent of £24,940 while deposits in the national savings accounts by way of fortnightly instalments have reached a total sum of £124,859. A total of £76,960 was paid under the Workers' Compensation Act during the year to employees suffering injury in the course of their employment. WAR AND POST-WAR ACTIVITIES Although the necessity for the continued vigorous prosecution of the war continues to dominate our efforts, some thought is naturally being given to the 'many problems which will arise in the postwar years. One cannot lose sight of the fact that revenue from military sources forms a substantial portion of our present receipts. During the year under review, movements of Armed Forces personnel provided 34-09 per cent, of the total passenger revenue, while military freights provided 947 per cent, of the total goods revenue. This comprises what may be termed the direct traffic from the war, but there is undoubtedly a considerable amount of indirect traffic which will cease with the cessation of hostilities. A considerable amount of traffic has also been diverted to rail by the curtailment of road services, the. immobilization of private cars, and the shortage of coastal shipping. Benefit has also been received in longer haulages from the centralization of shipping. While there may be an intensification of industrial activity during the immediate post-war years, it does not appear that it will be sufficient to counterbalance the disappearance of those factors mentioned above which have so benefited the railways, and a fairly substantial decline in gross revenue would seem inevitable.

D.— 2

On the other hand, railway tariff rates have not been raised since the outbreak of war, and the increased revenue has been obtained solely by reason of the quantity of traffic handled. Average wage-rates, prices of materials and coal, and other expenditures have increased steadily, and it seems likely that the price-level of wages and materials will remain on a level higher than that of the prewar years. In fact, despite the high net earnings during the war, an examination of the position over a number of years shows clearly that there is a constant tendency towards a higher ratio between expenditure and revenue—i.e., the return on the annual outlay shows a constant tendency to diminish. It may also be expected that the community will continue to require a constantly improved standard of service, with an accompanying increase in expenditure. It may here bo mentioned that it is recognized that the efforts of the railways have during the past four years been directed almost solely to furthering the war effort, and while, from this point of view, the performance has been most satisfactory, there have of necessity been deficiencies and inconveniences from the viewpoint of a peacetime standard. While the public have been appreciative of the position, there is the danger that the service given may gradually come to be taken as typical of railway service, to the detriment of the railways in the post-war years. To meet the post-war position which I have outlined it will be necessary to make research into, and take vigorous steps to establish, an improved service and better and more efficient and economical methods of operation. CONCLUSION I take great pleasure in acknowledging the efficiency and co-operation of all members of the staff. New Zealand has indeed been fortunate in having a railway personnel whose capability and loyalty have been so amply demonstrated under the exceptionally difficult conditions which have obtained during the past few years. General Manager.
