1949 NEW ZEALAND

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

Mr. Speaker,— In accordance with section 9 of the Government Railways Amendment Act, 1936, I have the honour to present the Railways Statement for the year ended 31st March, 1949. FINANCIAL A new high level in gross revenue was established this year, the total receipts being £18,597,728. This amount exceeded last year's record by £1,526,856, or 8-94 per cent. The greater portion of this additional revenue came from the increase in fares and freights, which operated throughout the whole year, as against only seven months of the previous year. Passenger revenue showed an increase over the previous year. Although Armed Service travel continued to decline, ordinary passenger traffic revenue showed a slight increase, brought about mainly by the increased fares. Season-ticket journeys and revenue showed marked increases. The actual increase in passenger revenue over the previous year amounted to £71,711. The steady upward trend in goods traffic that has taken place over the last few years continued during the present financial year. This is indicated in the increased revenue and in the increased tonnage hauled. The goods revenue has shown an increase of £1,260,385, or 12-02 per cent., reaching a new record of £11,747,129. The tariff increase brought an additional revenue of £891,050, while it is estimated that additional traffic increased the revenue by £369,335. The goods tonnage moved during the year amounted to 9,666,130 tons, being 142,087 tons in excess of the previous year, whicK was a record achievement at that date. The Subsidiary Services Account showed an excess of revenue over expenditure of £346,508. The main item in this section is the road motor services, which showed a profit of £27,336, from a record revenue of £1,910,251. This was an increase over the previous year of 9*67 per cent. The expenditure in this branch, £1,882,915, also showed an increase which amounted to 12-99 per cent. This increase was due chiefly to the higher wage-rates now in force and the higher depreciation charges, fixed charges, and licence fees resulting from the purchase of additional vehicles.

D—2

The gross expenditure for the year totalled £19,700,594, an increase of £1,989,697, or 11*23 per cent. The increase in wage costs amounted to £1,121,833 Increased man-hours incurred in handling the increased traffic caused a rise in expenditure of £226,198, while the increased wages and concessions granted by the Railways Industrial Tribunal during the year had a substantial effect upon all avenues of expenditure. The remainder of the increase in expenditure is spread over a number of miscellaneous items, particularly fuel, stores and material, depreciation, and deferred maintenance. The net loss on working was £1,102,866, which was recovered from the vote " Economic Stabilization." The extra cost of imported fuel oil and imported coal, as compared with the cost of New Zealand coal of equivalent fuel value, was £793,654. It is necessary to make it .clear that the Railways Account has carried an increased cost, and the use by the Department of this higher-priced imported oil and coal has released the lower-priced New Zealand coal for industry and domestic purposes. It is not unreasonable to claim, therefore, that the Railways Account, in effect, has carried an extra burden which could have been shared by the rest of the community. The following table shows the quantities of imported fuel used during the year and the fluctuation in costs compared with the previous year :

Imported Coal and Oil

r r As from 20th August, 1948, the overseas exchange-rate of 25 per cent, was .withdrawn and New Zealand currency brought into parity with sterling. In consequence, .the price of imported coal decreased. The average issue rate for imported coal was 21s. 7d. per ton less. Although the average cost of fuel oil was higher by 18s. 7d. per ton, this was due to higher prices earlier in the year. At 31st March, 1949, the issue rate for fuel oil was £8 7s. 6d. per ton, compared with an average of £lO Is. 3d. for the whole year.

I would like to point out here that, in assessing the effectiveness of the admittist' tration of the railways and their use-value, it is necessary to remember that it is a great public utility, and the usual tests of commercial efficiency therefore do not; wholly? apply. In other words, it is necessary to ascertain the quantum of service in relation! to real expenditure, and to measure whether there has been a prudent use of the man-power, rolling-stock, and raw materials that are involved in producing the service. There are a number of statistical measures- by which this , can be ascertained. We can compare the number of staff employed, the wages paid, and the man-hours worked in relation to the volume of traffic. This enables a fairly accurate estimate to be made of the real factors affecting efficiency. We can compare in each year the over-all total man-hours with the total gross ton-miles (all trains), when a statistical unit, a gross ton-mile per hour figure for all trains, is obtained. The efficiency test on this basis is as follows :

Although, this table leaves something to be desired from the statistical point o£ view, it nevertheless does give a fairly reliable estimate of the physical factors involvedThe higher average figures from 1941 to 1945 are due to the carriage of peak military traffic with a reduced staff working longer hours. Further efficiency factors are shown in the percentage of the net to gross ton-miles (wagons only), which shows a steady increase over the last ten years from 37-2 in 1939 to 39-8 in 1949. Similarly, gross ton-miles per goods train - hour rose from 2,936 in 1939 to 3,612 in 1949. The speed of both passenger and goads trains, an important factor in assessing efficiency, has been steadily maintained, while a slight increase has been recorded in 1949 as compared with 1939. It will be accepted, therefore, that, as far as statistics can reveal, the general measure of efficiency of New Zealand's railways' has been well maintained over the years. In presenting this statement regarding the revenue-expenditure position of the railways, I am not unmindful of the vexed question of " making the railways pay." Transport costs enter largely into the cost structure of the whole of the Dominion. Taking into consideration the high volume of traffic carried by the railways, any alterations in fares and freights would have far-reaching* effects. It would take a very exhaustive economic survey to reach final conclusions on this point, but I am satisfied that any disturbance of this stabilizing factor in general costs would not be in the public interest and it would tend to nullify the apparent good effect of the exchange-rate adjustment. On account of the social nature of the railways, and the major part they play in providing transport services, they must be the basis of transport co-ordination throughout the country, and steps are being taken to bring about a rationalization of. *

4he rail and road services that belong to the Department, while, in association with my colleague the Hon. Minister of Transport, efforts are being made to properly co-ordinate all transport services, whether they be State owned or privately owned. There are many difficulties in the way, but I am sure that all the transport agencies involved will co-operate in the public interest in minimizing the over-all transport- costs of the country, which are generally estimated from £75,000,000 to £80,000,000 per annum. During the year, a number of trains that were run in the pre-war period have been reintroduced. The services of the " Limited " expresses running between Wellington and Auckland have been extended, and a " Limited " train running between Christchurch and Invercargill has recently been introduced. In some localities, mixed trains have been replaced by more efficient road services, and this has given general satisfaction to the public concerned. Sunday trains are now running again to and from the main centres throughout the system. A limited number of excursion trains have been made available, and race trains have been reintroduced, particularly in those areas where it has been necessary in the public interest to reduce the volume .of road traffic. Services generally will be improved and extended as the staff and rolling-stock position improves. After examining the economics of the system, and the public need for efficient passenger and goods transport, it was. clear to the Government that the best means of modernizing the system, paying full regard to our national resources, was to follow a policy of electrification; consequently, a Kailway Mission, headed by the General ■Manager, has been sent overseas to examine electrification problems oil other systems. The work of investigation will occupy a number of months, and after a full examination of all the technical and economic considerations involved a report will be submitted to the Government. CONCLUSION Finally, I must express my appreciation of the able assistance I have received from the General Manager, Mr. F. W. Aickin, and his staff. Apart from the burden of the day-to-day operation of the railway system, they have not spared themselves in the onerous work involved in the administration of such a wide-flung organization. I should also like to refer to the excellent relations existing between the Government, the management, and the staff organizations generally. The spirit of co-operation shown (by all concerned has been most gratifying and commendable, and new avenues are foeing explored to make' this co-operation more effective.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF THE NEW ZEALAND* GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS New Zealand Government Railways Department, General Manager's Office, Wellington, 2nd September, 1949. The Hon. the Minister op Railways. Sir, — I have the honour to submit the annual report on the working of theNew Zealand Railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1949.

WORKING RESULT (Whole Undertaking)

REVENUE The gross revenue exceeded the record of the previous year by £1,526,856. Theincrease in operating revenue amounted to £1,374,602, due principally to the benefit of the tariff increase, which is estimated to have brought in an additional £1,085,820. The total passenger revenue was £2,759,478, which was £71,711 higher than the previous year. The passenger journeys (ordinary) decreased by 403,368, or 4-97 per cent., due tec decreased Armed Service traffic, while journeys on season tickets increased by 684,024, or 3-85 per cent. The revenue from parcels, luggage, and mails has shown an increase of £7,227, the result, of tariff increases. Goods revenue has shown an encouraging increase of £1,260,385, or 12-02 per cent., reaching a new record of £11,747,129. Of this amount, £891,050 has been estimated to be due to tariff increase and £369,335 to additional traffic. The goods tonnage moved during the year amounted to 9,666,130 tons, being 142,087 tons in excess of the previous year, which was a record achievement.

Live-stock traffic decreased by 32,910 tons. Compared with the previous year, the number of sheep carried decreased by 651,047, or 6-02 per cent. The most notable -decrease —viz., 287,357 —was in the Invercargill district, and this and the general decrease ■can be attributed to the substantial increases in the number of sheep carried by road operators. This was offset by an increase in timber traffic, which reached the high record of 747,861 tons, an increase of 69,734 tons over the previous year. The most important items in the increase of 108,977 tons of " Other goods " were increases in the tonnages of benzine in tank wagons (18,087 tons) and manures (24,013 tons). EXPENDITURE The gross expenditure shows a rise of £1,989,697 to a record high peak of £19,700,594. The increase in operating expenditure accounted for £1,698,165 of the increase,, whilst £291,532 arose from the subsidiary services.. The following table sets out a division of the gross expenditure, with comparisons with the figures for 1947-48 :

The increase in wages paid can be attributed to the following causes : £ (1) Additional man-hours .. .. .. .. .. 226,198 (2) Increase of 2£d. per hour from Ist July, 1948 ; increase of 10s. per week from Ist October, 1947 (full year for 1949, as compared with six months for 1948) .. .. .. . . .. 771,112 (3) Miscellaneous concessions granted in awards and by Railways Industrial Tribunal .. .. .. .. .. 124,523 £1,121,833 The man-hours have increased in practically every branch of operation, with large increases in traffic transportation and the road services. The rise in the cost of locomotive fuels was due to the greater quantity of fuel oil purchased. Compared with the previous year, 6,441,125 more gallons were purchased, and this factor has caused the cost of this fuel to increase by £294,792. The amount of •coal imported decreased by 26,019 tons, with a resultant decrease in costs of £331,742. During the year the consumption of New Zealand coal amounted to 3,856 tons more than the previous year. With the general increase in traffic, an increase in consumption of stores and materials is to be expected. The main items of increase were £42,676 for road service fuels, £75,323 for way and works maintenance, including heavy purchases of ballast, and £80,869 for materials used on working-expenses jobs in the workshops.

' Under the heading of "Miscellaneous" the main variation was an increase of £126,000 for deferred maintenance. Increases of £33,364 for workers' compensation premiums resulting from increases in wages and to meet heavier statutory commitments are also included under the heading of " Miscellaneous." SUBSIDIARY SERVICES Particulars of revenue, expenditure, and net revenue for the various subsidiary services are set out in Statements Nos. 4 to 9 inclusive, and the following table shows the variations in revenue and expenditure with that of the previous year :

The main item in this table is the increased revenue of the road motor services. The increase of £168,465 over the previous year has brought the road services' revenue to the new record of £1,910,251, -due to an expansion in every phase of the services' operations. The only important service acquired during the year was Wheeler s Pukekohe-Auckland service. The road services further extended their operations in the Ashburton-Oamaru area consequent upon the discontinuance of mixed trains on this route. . Expenditure rose in higher ratio than revenue, mainly by reason of the higher wages-rates now applying and the higher depreciation charges, fixed charges, and licence fees resulting from the purchase of additional vehicles^ The increase in revenue attributed to the refreshment services has been due mainly to the reopening of the Wellington Station dining-room.

The figures for the coal consumed show a reduction as a result of the greater use of oil-burning locomotives in the North Island. During the year it was again necessary to import coal, supplies being purchased from the United Kingdom, Africa, and India. The quantity imported, however, was 26,019 tons less than that of the previous year. The New Zealand hard-coal consumption declined by 2,417 tons, whilst soft coal increased by 6,273 tons. The percentage of soft coal consumed increased by 3-21 per cent, compared with the figure for the previous year, resulting in higher unit consumption figures. The increased consumption, however, has been offset by a lower unit cost as the result of using less imported coal. The following table shows for the same years the consumption of coal from the point of view of efficiency and economy :

During the year a further 17 locomotives were converted to burn oil, so that the total number in use at 31st March, 1949, was 51. The original plan of conversion provided for 77 oil-burners of the K, Ka, and J class locomotives, and it is hoped that the following year will see the completion of the programme. Further fuelling facilities have been installed, so that they can now operate from Paekakariki to Auckland and on the Napier and New Plymouth lines. Consequent upon the greater number of oil-burning locomotives and the extended fuelling facilities, the train-miles worked by these engines have increased, so that during the past year 20-55 per cent, of the steam-train mileage was performed by them. TRANSPORTATION With the improvement in the locomotive-fuel supplies and in so far as the staff position will allow, efforts are being made to improve train services and to restore as far as possible the pre-war services. A survey of all services, both road and rail and both goods and passenger, is now in hand, the purpose being to examine present services and explore all possibilities of improved service to the public. Some of the alterations made to train services during the year are as follow : Auckland-Wellington : " Limited " express restored, running six days per week as from 28th November, 1948. Wellington - New Plymouth : Express train service increased to four days per week. Wellington-Grisborne : Express train service placed on a faster schedule and now connects at Palmerston North with the Auckland express and at Wellington with the steamer express to the South Island. A commencement has also been made in restoring the popular Sunday excursiontrains, and these now run between Auckland and Hamilton, Wellington and Palmerston North, Christchurch and Timaru, and Dunedin and Oamaru. A further step in the policy of eliminating mixed trains has been made with the withdrawal of such trains on the Ashburton-Timaru-Oamaru section, the passenger traffic now being handled by road services.

For the Wellington suburban services 71 multiple-unit trailer coaches and 40 motor coaches were ordered from Great Britain, and a number of the trailer coaches are now tohand. Motor coaches are also expected to arrive shortly, and as a commencement these? will be placed on the Wellington-Paekakariki line to improve and augment the service there. The Wellington-Johnsonville units have received very hard wear during the last few years and the arrival of the additional coaches will in the meantime also provide some relief on this service. The rail-air service has now developed into an integral part of the transport facilities offered by the Railways Department and the past year has seen a continued expansion of traffic. Compared with the previous year the tonnage carried increased by 1,995 tons, or 34-05 per cent., while the number of trips flown between Paraparaumu and Blenheim increased from 1,741 to 2,253. One of the notable features of the service was the conveyance of 805 household removals. An unfortunate accident occurred on 9th August, 1948, when a Dakota aircraft carrying rail-air freight flew into a hillside in low cloud near Port Underwood and the crew of two were killed. ROAD SERVICES Traffic demands on the road services have been increasingly heavy during the year and services and time-tables have been continually adjusted to suit traffic requirements. A continuous building programme was maintained in order to replace obsolete vehicles and to provide modern vehicles for new services. During the year the fleet was strengthened by 93 vehicles, comprised as follows : 38 omnibuses. 40 service coaches. 2 composite vehicles. 13 trucks and vans. In addition, 5 trucks and 2 motor-cars were obtained from defence surplus stocks and 49 G.M.C. trucks previously on hire from the Army were transferred to this Department. The total fleet operated by the branch at 31st March, 1949, was — 308 omnibuses. 376 service and other cars. 269 lorries and vans. 5 passenger trucks. 3 horse floats. 12 office cars. 8 trailers. 10 utility vehicles (breakdown and garage trucks). Total 991 The following services in new routes were commenced: — 23rd August, 1948 : Taumarunui-Wellington (direct service via Taihape). Bth December, 1948 : Reefton-Westport (extension of the Christchurch service). 17th January, 1949 : Ashburton-Timaru-Oamaru (as a result of the cancellation of mixed trains on this route). 21st February, 1949 : Waitakaruru-Auckland (via Miranda, Mangatani, Kuiaua, Orere and Cliveden). Compared with the previous year, the mileage over which our vehicles operate has ■ increased" by 125 route miles, bringing the total route mileage to 5,904.

STAFF A summary of the staff position and a comparison with the previous year's figures -are given in the following table (the figures do not include employees serving in the Armed Forces) :

The increase in the total staff of the Department as at 31st March, 1949, in ■comparison with the previous year's figures has occurred principally in the Maintenance and Road Services Branches. Although a slight improvement in the Department's turnover of labour has taken place, in general the shortage of staff has remained acute throughout the year. In the Traffic and Locomotive Operating Branches it has not been possible to strengthen the staff to the extent desired, and consequently regulating the hours of duty of these employees has presented much difficulty. The deficiency of skilled and unskilled labour in the North Island workshops again impeded the work of overhauling and repairing locomotives. A comprehensive staff-recruitment policy is still being energetically pursued, but despite this it is estimated that an additional 1,218 employees are still required to bring up to full strength for present requirements the staff engaged directly in the running of trains and the handling of traffic. Staff vacancies in' the workshops number 767. During the year new appointments to the permanent staff totalled 954, while 258 members of the permanent staff retired, 1,061 resigned, 58 died, and 59 were paid off or dismissed. In addition, a large number of temporary employees were appointed to the permanent staff, and 116 members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division. A total of £96,955 was paid under the Workers' Compensation Act during the year in respect of employees suffering injury in the course of their employment. A number of claims relating to rates of pay and conditions of employment were presented to the Government Railways Industrial Tribunal last year by the railways service organizations. Arising out of these claims, twenty-four orders were made by the Tribunal, all of which have benefited materially those employees coming within the Tribunal's jurisdiction. There have been frequent contacts throughout the year with the national executives and officials of the various service organizations. An atmosphere of understanding and co-operation has characterized all discussions, and the results achieved have contributed in a large measure towards the harmonious relationships which prevail within the Department.

Greater emphasis is being placed on staff training. During the past year this section has been reorganized and several new correspondence courses have been introduced, the principal course of instruction being one for locomotive-running men, commencing with the junior cleaner and continuing through to the first-grade driver. A further course for assistant locomotive foremen is about'to be introduced. A comprehensive' course in English has also been introduced and is meeting with marked success. During the past year the enrolments for the nineteen correspondence courses conducted by the Staff Training Section reached the figure of 3,600. Special eigbt-day courses in inter-branch co-operation mark a new departure in staff-training methods. Two such courses have already been held, one at Burnham Military Camp in October of last year for South Island members, and a similar course at Linton Military Camp in March of this year for North Island members. At both courses sixty members of all branches were assembled without regard to rank or designation, and the operations of the Department as a whole were placed before them through a series of lectures delivered by the heads of branches or other senior officers. Free discussion was invited, and the students availed themselves of this opportunity to offer a great deal of highly constructive criticism. Other subjects of a more cultural nature such as industrial psychology, public relations, and economics were also introduced. The first camp at Burnham was of an experimental nature, but its success was so marked by the spirit of co-operation shown by all members that the second course for North Island members was proceeded with, and this proved at least equally successful. All students spoke enthusiastically of the benefit they had derived from the courses through a wider understanding of railway problems. MILEAGE OF LINES AND CAPITAL ACCOUNT The mileage of lines open for traffic has not changed during the year and remains at 3,525 miles 44 chains. The Capital Account on 31st March, 1949, was £78,796,320, an increase of £1,707,289. Of the increase, £1,048,426 is attributed to the cost of new rolling-stock and the remainder to the new Mamaku Sawmill and miscellaneous yard and station rearrangements, buildings, and other works. CONCLUSION I desire to place on record my sincere appreciation of the loyal co-operation of the staff, whose efficiency and ready response enabled the Department to handle the greatest volume of traffic in the history of the organization, despite difficulties associated with the aftermath of the war. E. H. Langford, Acting General Manager.
