RAILWAYS STATEMENT. (17th August, 1900). BY THE MINISTER FOR RAILWAYS, THE HON. J. G. WARD.

Mr. Speaker,— In presenting this, my first annual Eailways Statement, I have great pleasure in announcing that, notwithstanding the fact that for several years past we have become accustomed to phenomenal increases in our railway business, the year 1899-1900 has proved to be the record year for the New Zealand railways ; the business carried on and the revenue received not only having exceeded that of any previous year, but the increased receipts of the past year over the immediately preceding year have exceeded all former increases. It is my earnest desire to so administer this great undertaking that the people of New Zealand will derive the greatest amount of assistance therefrom in developing the resources of the country, and that the convenience, education, and relaxation of our fellow-colonists may be provided for in the best possible manner. In dealing with the transactions of the year, I shall, in accordance with previous usage, subdivide my remarks as follows: First, general summary of results during the year, under the heading of " G-eneral " ; second, " Earnings " ; third, " Working-expenses " ; fourth, " Expenditure for Additions to Open Lines and Boiling - stock charged to Capital Account"; fifth, "Midland Eailway (Eesults of Working) " ; sixth, " Concluding Eemarks, and Forecast." 1.

The rate of interest earned on the capital cost of the open railways (£16,703,887) has been £3*42 per cent., against £329 per cent, last year, as compared with Victoria, £2-96; Queensland, £3 - 15; South Australia, £3" 12; Tasmania, £1-07; New South Wales, £383; and Western Australia, £4-55. (See Eeturn No. 15.) The loss on the Kawakawa Section has been somewhat reduced, viz., from £475 for 1899 to £171 for 1900; and that on the Nelson Section from £3,283 to £1,648. The loss on the Picton Section—£l,723 for 1899—has been converted into a small gain of £145 for 1900. The net earnings of the following sections have decreased, viz., Whangarei, Kaihu, Auckland, Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth, Grey-Hokitika, and Westport; whilst the net earnings of the Hurunui-Bluff and Grey-Brunner Sections have increased. Extensions were opened for traffic as follows : Gorge Koad to Waimahaka, 6 miles 40 chains, on 9th June, 1899; and Winton to Hedgehope, 12 miles 66 chains, on ]7th July, 1899. (See Eeturn No. 22.) The extension of the line from Paeroa to Thames, opened on 19th December, 1898, is developing business in a satisfactory manner. The land adjoining the railway is being taken up for settlement, and there is every reason to expect an increase of traffic from year to year. The outwards and inwards passengers on this extension realised a revenue of £8,461 12s. 4d.; inwards parcels and goods, £3,396 16s. lid.; and outwards parcels and goods, £1,074 18s. lid. In consequence of the dredging industry, railway receipts from the Otago Central Kailway have since 1896 doubled. The free carriage of lime used on farming lands has now had two years' trial, but, apart from Otago and Southland, where the consumption has doubled, very little advantage has been taken of the concession. The total quantity carried free last year was 12,455 tons. The Government has decided to extend the period of the concession for another year. The reduction of 20 per cent, in the rates for agricultural produce determined upon last year amounted to a rebate on previous charges of £44,234 for the year. With a view of improving the train services, I have given instructions that the undermentioned mixed, passenger, and goods services are, so far as intermediate stations are concerned, to be confined as far as possible to purely passenger business, so that shunting at intermediate stations may be restricted. To enable this to be done I have authorised a through goods service between Christchurch and Invercargill, and additional trains between Lumsden and Kingston, Heriot and Waipahi, Christchurch and Southbridge, Waipara and Waikari, Gore and Lumsden, Palmerston North and Waipukurau. Throughout the colony, all suburban trains arriving at the centres between the hours of 7.30 a.m. and 9.30 a.m., those returning from the centres between the hours of 4 p.m. and 6.30 p.m., and those leaving the centres between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturdays, to be purely passenger trains. The express services between Auckland and Eotorua, and the morning train from Auckland to Waikato, and afternoon train from Waikato to Auckland; the mail trains between Te Aro and Napier, New Plymouth and Palmerston North; the expresses between Christchurch and Dunedin, and Dunedin and Invercargill; the morning train from Masterton to Wellington, and the evening train from Wellington to Masterton, to do no goods-shunting en route. The morning train from Waikari to Christchurch, and the evening train from Christchurch to Waikari, and the 8 a.m. train from Christchurch to Ashburton, except at Eolleston, to do no shunting for goods traffic en route. The morning train from Balclutha to Dunedin, and the evening train from Dunedin to Balclutha, subject to increasing and decreasing the load as required at Mosgiel, to do no goods-shunting en route. The morning train from Eiverton to Invercargill, and the evening train from Invercargill to Eiverton; the morning train from Winton to Invercargill, and evening train from Invercargill to Winton, to do no goods-shunting en route.

D.—2

Goods-wagons between the terminal stations will be taken by these trains provided punctuality does not suffer thereby, but, as before stated, shunting at intermediate stations will be prohibited. In consequence of the stationary character of the tourist traffic in the cold-lake district, the Government has been considering the advisability of running, during the summer months, an improved service between Dunedin and Kingston; but much cheaper steamer-fares between Kingston and Queenstown, and between Queenstown and the head of the lake, are necessary to make this a success, as it is useless to expect the business to rapidly expand unless popular prices are charged. I have given instructions to provide with all possible speed second- as well as first-class lavatory accommodation on all trains outside the suburban areas, and to materially improve the second-class seating accommodation, more especially for the long-distance journeys. With a view to improving the train services still further, and to make proper provision for meeting the public demands for improved communication and better attention to traders' requirements, more especially in the supply of rail-way-wagons, I have appointed a Traffic Superintendent for each Island—viz., Mr. A. Grant, of Wellington, for the North Island, and Mr. W. H. Gaw, of Dunedin, for the South Island. It will be the duty of these gentlemen to supervise the running of the train services and outdoor work generally, so as to insure punctuality as well as suitable and satisfactory train services, and also to distribute the rolling-stock in such a manner as to meet the public requirements in the best and most economical manner possible. Tickets at the Auckland, New Plymouth, Wanganui, Napier, Palmerston North, Wellington, Te Aro, Lyttelton, Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin, Gore, and Invercargill booking-offices are to be on sale the day prior to as well as on the day required for use, so as to avoid any cause of complaint on account of the limited time allowed in which to procure tickets, and also on account of the crowded state of the booking-offices at these centres. The Pintsch gas system adopted for lighting our railway-carriages continues to give satisfactory results, and meets with the approval of the travelling public. Five gas-making plants have been erected, seven travelling storeholders built, and 439 cars fitted up, at a cost of £33,450. The total quantity of gas produced amounted to a million and a half cubic feet for the year ending 31st March last. It has been ascertained that, after providing for working all installations, including interest on and depreciation of fixed plant and car equipment, a saving as compared with kerosene has been affected. The annual charge in the case of gas computed on this basis amounted to £5,550, as compared with kerosene costing £6,160. This result is considered satisfactory, and will improve as the gasconsumption increases. In order to provide for greater safety and punctuality, the Government has determined to gradually equip the whole of the rolling-stock with the most modern type of the Westinghouse automatic continuous brake. A contract has been let for the North Island stock, to be completed within three years. The express trains in the South Island are simultaneously to be so fitted. As a further provision of safety, it has also been decided to adopt the electric and ordinary staff systems for train-working, in lieu of the present " traindespatcher " system. Bills are in course of preparation providing for a consolidation of previous enactments relating to " working railways," for the classification and pay of the staff, and for a superannuation fund on lines similar to those in existence at Home. Additions to rolling-stock and additions and improvements to the lines and structures at a cost of £247,544 have been made during the year, charged as follows: £218,357 to Capital Account, and £29,187 to working-expenses. (See Return No. 7 for details of capital expenditure.) Of the 2,361 casual labourers employed in the Traffic Branch and insured against accident at the cost of working-expenses, 58 were injured and received compensation during the year. The cost of premium amounted to £420.

D.—2

An average of 7,236 men were employed by the department, as compared with 6,413 men during the previous year. (See Eeturn No. 26.) Forty-two members of the permanent staff resigned, nine died, eight were retired, thirteen were dismissed, and 452 engaged. Bight appeals against decisions of the department in regard to staff irregularities were heard by the Appeal Boards; five were dismissed, and three were allowed. Five members of the Second Division were during the year promoted or transferred to the First Division. Of the 1,088 members of the First Division, 528 have obtained certificates as telegraphists, and 446 as competent postal officers. The cost of the special allowance of wages (6d. per day) to labourers and others in receipt of 6s. 6d. per day amounts, for the year, to ,£15,352; and increased pay for porters, carpenters, enginemen, firemen, and apprentices, as provided for by enactment (No. 26, 1897), to £2,597. The Railway Institute and Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants have been unable to agree in regard to regulations providing for the transfer of members of the Second Division to the First Division which would be mutually satisfactory: the Government have therefore advised His Excellency as to regulations throwing the door open to deserving and qualified members on the following terms :■ — Promotions may be made from the Second to the First Division in the following manner:— Specially qualified members of the Second Division, Class 1, Traffic, may be promoted to Subdivision 4 of the First Division as coaching, goods, and wharf foremen, and timber-checkers. Members of the Second Division, Class 1, Traffic, in receipt of not less than 6s. 6d. per diem, and with not less than six years' service, shall be classified as eligible for promotion to Subdivision 4 of the First Division as Stationmasters of the sth Subclass, on an equality with clerks in the 7th Subclass of the First Division, on the following basis : The date on which eligible members of Class 1, Second Division, first receive not less than 6s. (id. per diem, and clerks not less than £100 per annum, shall determine the order of promotion : Provided that no member of the Second Division shall be so promoted unless he- — (a) produces a certificate from a duly qualified Inspector or teacher (at the option of the department) of the Education Department that he possesses an education equal to the Sixth Standard of the Government schools ; (b) that the General Manager or Assistant General Manager certifies that he has passed the examination provided for in clause 14, subclause (1), of the regulations, and that two members of Subdivision 2, nominated by the General Manager, certify that he is competent by reason of merit, ability, and qualifications to, perform the clerical and outdoor duties of a Stationmaster in the sth Subclass. Members of the Second Division who have been or may be permanently physically injured in the service may, at the discretion of the General Manager, and subject to the provisions of clause 27 of the regulations, be promoted to Subdivision 3of the First Division as clerks of the 7th Subclass; but no such member shall be so promoted unless he produces a certificate from a duly qualified Inspector or teacher (at the option of the department) of the Education Department that he possesses an education equal to the Sixth Standard of the Government schools ; that the General Manager or Assistant General Manager certifies that he has passed the examinations provided for in clause 14, subclause (1), of the regulations ; and that two members of Subdivision 2, nominated by the General Manager, certify that he is competent by reason of merit, ability, and qualifications to perform the duties of a 7th Subclass clerk. Members may be promoted from Class 2, Second Division, to Class 2 of Subdivision 4, and to Class 2 of Subdivision 3 of First Division; also from Class 3 of Second Division to Class 3 of Subdivision 4, and to Class 2 of Subdivision 3 of First Division. Return No. 27 is a statement of the personal accidents for the year; and, as this return has from time to time been the subject of criticism, it becomes

r>.—2

necessary to explain that every personal accident, no matter how caused, is enumerated. The accidents which occur to men working at the bench, or when engaged in loading ships or railway-wagons, are included, as well as accidents to persons neither employed upon nor in transit by railway, such as trespassers or persons crossing the railway-lines. No deductions from this return can be of any value which ignore the nature and cause of accident as set forth. 2. EAENINGS. As before stated, the revenue for the year ending 31st March, 1900, amounted to =£1,623,891, an increase over the previous year of £154,226. The estimate was £1,475,000, which, in view of the large freight-reductions made on Ist April, 1899, was as high as prudence would allow. It is a matter for much congratulation that the estimate has been exceeded by £148,891. The receipts per train-mile have increased —namely, from 7s. sd. for 1898-99 to 7s. 9d. for 1899-1900. The number of passengers (exclusive of season- and commutation-ticket holders) who have travelled is 5,468,284, or 512,731 more than last year ; 8,308 more season tickets have been sold. The revenue from passengers exceeds that of last year by £39,468. The number of passengers increased 10 per cent., and the revenue 81 per cent. Taking the year 1883-84 as a basis, it is a remarkable fact that the firstclass passengers have increased by only 22 \ per cent., and the second-class passengers by not less than 79f per cent. It is well to bear this factor in mind when making provision for the future. The difference would be much greater were the year 1897-98 taken for the purpose of comparison with 1883-84, first-class being under 8 per cent, increase and second-class nearly 53 per cent., so that the prosperity would appear to have induced more first-class travel during the past two years. None the less it is evident that the tendency is towards one class of carriage, as already exists in the case of tramways and omnibuses. The revenue from excursion fares continues to increase: 657,323 tickets were sold last year, producing £100,907, an increase of £9,896 over previous year and £43,428 over 1896. School excursions show a falling-off. (See Return No. 11.) The revenue derived from parcels, luggage, and mails was £68,488, as compared with £66,418, an increase of £2,070. Parcels increased by 34,743 in number. In the Goods Department, 3,251,716 tons, including equivalent weight of live-stock, has been carried, producing a revenue of £1,040,383, an increase of 507,274 tons and £112,689 over last year. This enormous increase is mainly due to the bountiful harvest in the South Island, and which was carried at freight rates averaging 20 per cent, below those ruling in the previous year. This factor is very noticeable when the relation between earnings and expenses is taken into consideration. The number of sheep carried was 2,523,787, as compared with 2,518,233 last year, an increase of 5,554. There are increases in the goods traffic for wool, firewood, timber, grain, merchandise, and minerals. Chaff, &c, shows a decrease. Reductions in fares and charges as set forth in Return No. 32 have been authorised. The most important reductions are for stallions on circuit, stud stock for breeding purposes, butter, cheese, grain, flour, potatoes, and other agricultural produce, and small lots of goods under 1 cwt. The business in the southern portion of the North Island still continues to expand, the increased receipts from the Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Section amounting to £29,500, or nearly 7f per cent. In response to numerous inquiries and recommendations, the check-luggage system was introduced during the year, but so far the public have not made use of the system to any extent. For long journeys and large quantities of luggage the check system is an admirable one, but passengers on short journeys with a portmanteau only regard the procuring of a check as troublesome, and in

D.—2

Australia similar results have been experienced where the check-luggage system has been in force for many years. With a view to developing the business between Wellington and Blenheim via the Government line of railway, arrangements were made in August of last year to book through by sea and rail, with most satisfactory results, the revenue from that line having exceeded that of any previous year. 3. EXPENDITUKE. The expenditure for working has absorbed 64 - 80 per cent, of the revenue, an increase of 1/54 per cent, over the rate for the previous year (63-26). This increasing ratio is a marked feature of late years. In 1896-97 the ratio was 61-35 ;in 1897-98, 62-30; and in 1898-99, 63-26. Increased repairs and renewals of track and rolling-stock, higher wages, shorter hours of duty, and lower fares and freights give these inevitable results. The present ratio does not, however, approach that for the year 1886-87, when the expenditure absorbed 69 - 99 per cent, of the revenue. The amounts chargeable to the expenditure, Working Account, are as follows : — 1899-1900. 1898-99. In the Traffic Department ... ... ... £262,552 £244,933 „ Locomotive Department ... ... 372,097 305,212 „ Maintenance Department ... ... 394,619 357,189 Management... ... ... ... ... 47,717 44,318 £1,076,985 £951,652 Less credit recoveries... ... ... 24,627 21,914 £1,052,358 £929,738 The percentage of expenditure to revenue received is as follows :— 1899-1900. 1898-99.

The balance of the increased train-mileage is due fco extra trains run to overtake the increased excursion and grain traffic. The working-expenses on account of locomotive power have increased from ,£231,532 in 1898-99 to £295,542 in 1899-1900—an increase of £64,010. The cost per train-mile for locomotive charges has increased from 14-00 per train-mile in 1898-99 to 16-93 in 1899-1900, due to payment of the Rakaia accident claims, and replacing old engines with new. Of the total amount charged to working-expenses under the head of " Locomotive power," £16,903, fairly chargeable to capital, has been spent on new locomotives and conversions. Car and wagon repairs cost £76,555, as compared with £73,680 in 1898-99. Of the total amount charged to working-expenses under the heading of " Carriage and wagon repairs," £7,215 has been spent upon new work fairly chargeable to capital.

VII

The cost of maintenance of the line, bridges, buildings, and other structures has still further increased—viz., from £357,189 in 1898-99 to £394,619 in 1899-1900 —an increase of £37,430. Of this increased amount £460 has been spent on the Whangarei Section, due to strengthening bridges and renewals of track; £8,706 on the Auckland. Section, due to strengthening bridges and renewals of track; £15,671 on the Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth Section, due to renewals of track ; £12,340 on the Hurunui-Bluff Section, due to renewals of track; £589 on the Grey-Hokitika Section, due to bridge repairs and renewals of track; and £840 on the Picton Section, due to renewals of rails and sleepers, and wharf-repairs. The cost per mile of railway for maintenance has advanced from £172*92 in 1898-99 to £187-99 in 1899-1900, or £50 per mile per annum in excess of the amount spent in 1894-95. A sum of £5,069 for additions and improvements to the lines and structures has been debited to the working-expenses for maintenance of way which might fairly be charged to capital. The Head Office expenditure is only £647 over that of last year, and in relation to the revenue is actually less. The departmental offices cost £2,752 more than last year, due to extra staff, scale increases, and retiring-allowances. The Stores Branch purchased during the year stores to the value of £492,500, distributed as follows : General stores, £225,000; coal and coke, £70,000 ; timber, £53,000 ; sleepers, £76,000; permanent-way material, £60,000; stationery, £8,500. A staff of sixty-nine men were employed in the work of accounts and distribution. 4. BXPENDITUEE FOE ADDITIONS TO OPEN LINES. The sum of £218,357 has been charged to Capital Account on account of additions to the rolling-stock, and improvements to the permanent-way and structures. Of this amount, £154,157 has been expended on additional rolling-stock, conversions of rolling-stock, car-lighting, and workshop machinery. This rollingstock consists of 11 locomotives, 33 carriages, 11 brake-vans, 42 bogie wagons, 419 four-wheel wagons, 1 steam crane, 350 tarpaulins, all completed on the 31st March last; 5 locomotives, 66 carriages, 13 brake-vans, 46 bogie wagons, 473 four-wheel wagons, and 200 tarpaulins, incomplete, but in hand on the 31st March last. Included in the amount charged to Capital Account is a sum of £64,200, expended on account of additions and improvements to sidings, bridges, telegraphs, interlocking apparatus, signals, workshops, station buildings, dwellings, loading-banks, stock-yards, and water-services. Many of our stations are being entirely rebuilt: Aramoho, Clinton, and Oamaru are cases in point. The following gives the rolling-stock on 31st March, 1895, and 31st March, 1900 :— 31at March, 31st March, 1895. 1900.

MIDLAND BAILWAX : EESULTS OF WOBKING. The revenue for the year ending 31st March, 1900, for the Midland Railway amounted to £22,248, and the expenditure to £19,085, giving a credit balance of £3,213. Compared with the previous year, the revenue shows an increase of £2,044, and the expenditure a decrease of £5,013. (See Appendix F.) Last year accrued local rates to the amount of £2,975 were paid off; this year the rates paid amounted to £1,217. New rolling-stock to the value of £2,704 was paid for last year, but no liabilities under this heading have been incurred this year. Flood-damages, to which this line is peculiarly liable, have been trivial as compared with the damage done in the previous year. The extension from Belgrove to Motupiko, which was opened on Ist March, 1899, gives very unsatisfactory results. The receipts from this portion of the system for year ending 31st March, 1900, amount to £884, and the expenditure to £1,520, showing a loss of £636, in addition to interest charges on capital cost. CONCLUDING EEMAEKS, AND FOEECAST. Following on the lines of the policy laid down in 1896 —that, a 3 per cent. return having been secured from the railways, substantial reductions both in passenger fares and freight for colonial products shall be made—the Government determined, as soon as the financial results for the year 1899-1900 were known, to make reductions to the extent of £75,000, on the basis of the past year's business. Previous reductions have included school-excursion fares, holiday fares, sheep rates, agricultural produce, frozen meat, butter, cheese, milk, firewood, lime, chaff, manures, and scrap-iron, totalling £294,239 in value on 31st March last. It was therefore deemed right that the travelling public generally should now receive substantia] consideration. The Government therefore decided to reduce the ordinary passenger fares, and with this end in view have adopted (on 24th June) a passenger-rate scale fixed on the basis of ljd. per mile first class and Id. per mile second class. This gives a lower average rate for travel than in any of the Australian Colonies or in England. In this connection it will be interesting to compare the average fares in the following countries : — United States of America ... ... ... ... l-28d. per mile. -n, , -, list class ... 2-00 d. ~ England ... ... ... ...

Ist class ... l - 66d. „ ■vr rz i j (Ist class ... l - 50d. ~ New Zealand |2ndclass ... l-00d. Representations have been made that our fares should be still further reduced, but a prudent policy will not allow of this being done. The probable effect of reductions on our revenue has to be considered, or we may be compelled, after reducing, to increase our fares, as Austria and Hungary have done on two occasions since the introduction of their Zone tariffs. Some exception has been taken to the practice of charging double single fares for return journeys; but the principle is sound, and no exception should be taken to it, as shown in the following table giving examples of fares at Home as compared with New Zealand fares for similar distances : —

D.—2

Comparison of Fares charged on Midland Railway and Great Northern Railway, England, and New Zealand Government Railways.

The real question at issue is, "Are our return fares low enough?" The comparisons given amply prove that we have reduced to the lowest rate possible with prudent finance. Amongst other reductions, the rates for season and sectional tickets have been reduced; cheap day return fares have been adopted between the principal centres and ports; workmen's weekly two shilling season tickets instituted under proper conditions; the issue of tourist tickets throughout the year authorised; racehorses, hunters, and polo ponies carried free on return journeys ; fish empties carried free ; freight on goods from centres to ports reduced ; salt for dairy use reduced. Trains for workmen reaching destination before 8 a.m. have been provided at all the principal centres. The Government are advised that, in consequence of the great increase of business, and the altered conditions under which it is carried on, the rollingstock is inadequate to meet the settlers' requirements, and immediate steps are being taken to largely augment the carriage and wagon stock. Annual intercolonial conferences having been instituted for Australasian Railways, the Government have made arrangements for the New Zealand Railways to be represented, believing that discussion and an interchange of ideas will result in improved working. In the Railways Statement for last year it was pointed out that the increased business demanded that the equipment of the lines should be added to and improved. During the recess I have gone very fully into the matter, and have consulted with the general and branch officers in meeting assembled at Wellington. I have satisfied myself that immediate steps must be taken to largely increase the rolling-stock, also to enlarge and improve the station- and yardaccommodation, including the building of head offices for the Railway Department in Wellington; also to relay the principal lines with heavier rails, and to provide more efficient brake-power and safety appliances, such as electric staff apparatus, interlocking, and increased telegraph facilities. This must now be undertaken on a comprehensive plan, and the Government therefore propose during the ensuing five years to carry on the works as set forth in the following table: —

To enable the work to be carried on continuously authority will be necessary to carry the votes over from year to year until the works are completed and the votes exhausted, and legislation will be introduced to give effect to this. As foreshadowed in last year's Statement, the continued rapid expansion of traffic on our railways has now rendered the duplicating of those portions of our lines between Auckland and Penrose, Wellington and Lower Hutt, Christchurch and Eolleston, Port Chalmers, Dunedin, and Mosgiel, and Milton and Clarkesville, a necessity and provision will be made for starting the most important and urgent of these works forthwith. Taking into consideration the reductions in fares and freights recently gazetted, I estimate the revenue for the year ending the 31st March, 1901, at £1,560,000, and the expenditure at £1,046,000. The usual reports and returns are attached to this Statement.

APPENDIX A. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. N.Z. Government Eailways, Head Office, Sir,— Wellington, 30th Jane, 1900. I have the honour to report upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended 31st March, 1900. The capital cost has increased from £16,404,076 to £16,703,887. The revenue has heen £1,623,891, against £1,469,665 last year, an increase of £154,228, The net revenue has been £571,533, against, £539,928 last year, an increase of £31,605. The expenditure has been £1,052,358, against £929,736, an increase of £122,620. The expenditure per cent, of revenue £64-80, as compared with £6326 last year. The rate of interest earned on capital cost —£3 Bs. 5d., as compared with £3 ss. 10d. lasb year. The revenue per train-mile, 7s. 9d., and the cost per train-mile, 55., as against 7s. sd. and 4s. Bd. respectively last year. The following extensions have been opened during the year : — M. oh. Gorge Eoad to Waimahaka ... ... ... ... ... 6 40 Winton to Hedgehope ... ... ... ... ... 1266 Total ... ... ... ... 19 26 Eeturn No. 16 gives a comparative statement of the traffic and expenditure from 1881-82 to date. The passenger traffic shows an increase of 512,731 passengers and 8,308 season tickets, the increased revenue derived therefrom being £39,468. 582,704 holiday excursionists have travelled, yielding a revenue of £96,154. 43,455 scholars and teachers, and 31,164 parents and friends, travelled by school and factory excursions, yielding a revenue of £4,752. There has again been a large increase in the goods and live-stock traffic—viz., 503,815 tons. The revenue from goods and live-stock has increased by £103,646. Cattle and calves have increased in number 9,185; sheep, 5,554; and pigs by 1,537 head. Wooi has increased by 7,225 tons; firewood, 5,088 tons; timber, 24,411 tons; grain," 343,962 tons; merchandise, 57,577 tons; minerals, 71,345 tons. Chaff and lime have decreased 5,792 tons. Ten locomotives have been imported from Sharp, Stewart, and Co., of Glasgow, during the year, and are giving satisfaction. The building of new carriage and wagon stock is still keeping all the railway workshops very busy. Our workshops are, however, quite unable to keep pace with the demand for rolling-stock. It will therefore be necessary to import both carriages and wagons, in addition to placing orders with New Zealand firms. A contract has been entered into with the Westinghouse Brake Company (Limited) for the fitting of the Westinghouse automatic brake complete to the locomotives, cars, brake-vans, and wagons on the Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth and Auckland sections of the New Zealand railways, the company to provide all patent parts and material, and to perform all the work necessary in connection with the fitting of the brake to the rolling-stock. An order has also been given for the supply of the fittings necessary for equipping the through trains on the HurunuiBluff section with the Westinghouse brake, and on arrival of the material the brakes will be fitted in the departmental workshops. Dining-cars commenced running on the express trains between Dunedin and Christchurch on the 21st December last. They are proving a convenience to travellers, and have met a long-felt want. The cooking apparatus is heated by compressed gas. Arrangements are now being made with a view to applying the staff system of working, both ordinary and electric, to our railway lines. The traffic is developing rapidly, and a very large capital expenditure will now require to be provided for in order that the appliances and accommodation necessary for dealing with the business in a satisfactory manner may be provided. I have, &c, T. Ronaynb, To the Hon. the Minister for Railways. General Manager.

APPENDIX B. ANNUAL REPORT OP THE WORKING OP THE LOCOMOTIVE DEPARTMENT, 1899-1900. Sir, — Locomotive Superintendent's Office, Wellington, 4th May, 1900. I have the honour to report on the working of the Locomotive Department for the year ending the 31st March, 1900. The locomotives, carriages, wagons, vans, cranes, tarpaulins, machinery, and general plant have been maintained in good working condition, and improvements have been made as they suggest themselves. The following new locomotives were provided during the year:—

Three old double Fairlie Class E locomotives, which have been in service since 1875, have been written off, and have been replaced by three Class U locomotives imported from Great Britain. Following the discussion which has already taken place, it will be necessary to order more Class U locomotives from Great Britain, also some Class Wα locomotives from America. During the year the tractive power has been increased 10 - 4 per cent., of which increase 9 # l per cent, has been charged to " Additions to open lines," and l - 3 per cent, to workingexpenses. The new locomotives, locomotive conversions, and boiler renewals in hand in the workshops, and the new locomotives under order from Great Britain, will still further increase the tractive power 14-8 per cent. The additional train-mileage run during the year has been 219,185 miles = 5-52 per cent.; and the engine-mileage 363,200 miles = 6-94 per cent. Considerable inconvenience still exists on account of the restrictions upon locomotive runs. This should be remedied as soon as possible by making the permanent-way and structures more than equal to all locomotives. The replacing of old types of locomotives with those of more modern design should be pushed forward, more especially as the altered conditions (on account of increased traffic) require locomotives of a heavier type. The following additions have been made to the workshops during the year: Lean-to building for interlocking gear, timber-drying room, iron-foundry, pattern-store, and additions to blacksmiths' shop at Petone. Further additions to the principal shops are most necessary, and the machine shop at Addington should be rearranged at an early date. Additional car and wagon stock is still necessary to meet traffic requirements and to allow of the proper attention to the existing stock. Shelter-sheds for carriages should be available at all the principal places. Arrangements have been made with the Westinghouse Brake Company to fit all the rollingstock on the Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth and Auckland Sections with their automatic brake. Also, fittings for equipping the through trains on the Hurunui-Bluff Section have been ordered, and will be fitted by the department at the workshops. The following additions to plant have been made during the year : Two sewing-machines, one mortising-machine, three heavy drilling-machines, one plate-edge planing-machine, one threecylinder blowing-engine, one firebox drilling and tapping machine, four small drilling-machines, one small wheel lathe, one multiple drilling-machine (four spindles), one 10 cwt. steam-hammer, two punching and shearing machines, one 96-horse-power Babcock and Wilcox boiler, one lapping and grinding machine, one Boot's blower, two rivet-forges, one emery tool-grinder, one cutter and twist-drill grinder, one planer-knife grinder, one overhead travelling crane, one cupola, two tanite grinders, two capstan lathes, one firebox bottom ring and frameplate milling-machine, one plate furnace, one springmaker's furnace, one set of heavy plate-bending rolls, one heavy screwingmachine, and four lathes (screw-cutting). Some valuable tools are now under order, and may be expected during the next year. More tools of modern type should be ordered as early as possible. The additional workshops and new machinery have enabled the boiler renewals and repairs to be brought up to a better position than before. At the end of the financial year boilers were ready for fitting into 4H, 5 Lα, and 2 M locomotives; also work is in hand for 48,2C,1K, 1 B, 1 T, and 2Wα locomotives. There are also seventeen new crane-boilers ready to replace old ones. During the year ninety-nine cars, three bogie covered goods-vans, and four bogie brake-vans were fitted for use of compressed gas —making a total of 431 cars, four bogie covered goods-vans, and four bogie brake-vans fitted to date. Two travelling storeholders for gas have also been fitted to bogie platform-wagons, and two additional gas storeholders have been erected in the gasworks, Dunedin.

On account of the difficulty in obtaining tradesmen, coupled with the limited workshop accommodation, machinery, and stores, it has been necessary to work some of the shops overtime. Steps have been taken to light the Petone Workshops with electricity. This should be extended to all of the workshops. The work of seating second-class cars with cushions has been put in hand. On account of the difficulty experienced in procuring iron eastings it was found necessary to build a foundry at Petone. This is now in working order. Three dining-cars for use on the Hurunui-Bluff Eailway have been completed during the year, the cooking being done by compressed gas, which is the only instance in the colonies. Seven hundred and ninety-eight car, van, wagon, and crane axles have been renewed during the year. This work should be pushed forward. With a view to insure greater safety on the Pell incline, nickel-steel crank axles have been ordered for the Pell locomotives. The following table gives particulars of repairs, &c, to locomotives for the year:—

Five Class B heavy consolidation locomotives for goods traffic are being built at Addington. Three Class Wα locomotives for mixed traffic on heavy grades are being built at Hillside, to replace one Class A, one Class C, and one Class D locomotives, which are unsuitable for further service. The conversion of six Class L locomotives to Lα and six Class P locomotives to Fα is in hand. The following table gives particulars of repairs, &c, to locomotive boilers for the year : —

The expenditure per train-mile has been as follows: —

* Included in the expenditure producing this result is £36,107 6s. lid. charged to the working-expenses of Locomotive Department on account of claims arising from the Bakaia accident of 11th Masch, 1899, and £11,179 for new locomotives. These items increase the cost in pence per train-mile by 2'71d., but without this extraordinary expenditure the cost would have been 18-61 d. per train-mile. The slight increase over last financial year therefore becomes purely nominal, and is due to increments paid to members under the classification schedule, to the vigorous prosecution of conversion of locomotives, carriages, and wagons to more suitable types, the reboilering of locomotives and cranes with boilers of improved designs and higher working-pressures, and to the charging of works to working-expenses for which funds were not provided out of loan. I have, &c, T. P. Eothbeam, The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways, Locomotive Superintendent. Wellington.

APPENDIX C. ANNUAL BEPOBT ON THE MAINTENANCE OF NEW ZEALAND BAILWAYS. Sib,— Chief Engineer's Office, Wellington, 28th June, 1900. I have the honour to submit the following report on the maintenance of the New Zealand Eailways for the year ending 31st March, 1900 : — Permanent-way. —The track generally has been maintained in fair condition. In most districts there is a tendency to an increased speed of trains to provide greater facilities for the public, necessitating a higher standard of maintenance. During the year sixty-four miles of the main running lines has been renewed with heavier rails, chiefly 56 lb. per yard. The advisability of providing a stronger rail for the lines of heavier traffic has been considered, and one of 70 lb. to the yard has been adopted as a standard for these lines. More rapid relaying of our light lines is a question for serious deliberation, as the increase of traffic demands engines of greater power, for which the 30 lb. and 40 lb. rails are unsuitable. The faster speeds also are a factor which must not be overlooked. Sleeper renewals show a slight advance on last year's figures, and the consumption, although heavy, is not likely to be much reduced for some years to come. A more extended use of hardwood sleepers will be economical, and as the supply of native timber is failing it will be found necessary to import from Australia, where exceptionally good timber for the purpose is to be had,

In December last flood-damage occurred in various parts of the Invercargill section, particularly in the Waipahi district, but on most of the lines there was an unusual freedom from damage through slips and floods. In the Auckland District considerable expenditure is being incurred in draining a slip and building a stone retaining-wall to replace a timbered opening at the north end of Parnell Tunnel. This is a work of some magnitude, and is being spread over two or three years. The excavated material, together with a quantity purchased, has been used for reclaiming upwards of 2 acres of the department's land in Mechanics' Bay. Bridges. —These have been maintained in safe order. A large part of the year's expenditure for bridge-work was due to strengthening structures for carrying heavier loads, which in the ordinary course should be a charge to capital account, but so far has been debited to workingexpenses. A sum of £13,000 was spent for this purpose, and charged to ordinary maintenance. The following are the principal works of bridge-repairs and reconstruction which have been carried out during the year : — Auckland District: Bridge No. 66, near Frankton, filled in, and several small bridges entirely renewed in ironbark. Wanganui District: The reconstruction of the bridge over the Eangitikei Biver was completed and opened for both road and railway traffic. Bridge-strengthening in this district has been so far advanced as to allow the running of heavier classes of engines north to Hawera. Wellington-Napier District: The reconstruction of the Piri Piri Viaduct is fairly well forward. The concrete piers and abutments have been for some time completed, and the preparation of the necessary ironwork by the contractors is in hand. The two new bridges at the Waitangi wash-out were completed, and trains are now running over the reconstructed line. A large number of bridges have been strengthened to enable heavier engines to run, but some time must elapse before all the structures will be fit for the heaviest class of locomotives now in use in some parts of the district. Christchurch District: The reconstruction of the Ashburton, Waihao, and a large number of smaller bridges has been completed. Dunedin District: The principal work executed during the year was the strengthening of the Waitaki and Clutha bridges, and rebuilding the Waiareka Creek bridge. Invercargill District: A total of eleven bridges were rebuilt to the standard. General. —Ordinary repairs have been carried out as necessary on the smaller structures in all districts. Water-services. —Additions to these services were made where most urgently needed. Further demands are being constantly received for extensions, and other services will have to be increased during the current year. Signals. —The former signal-engineer, Mr. Johnson, retired from the service in December last. As his successor, Mr. Wynne, had not an opportunity of making himself fully conversant with the work of the year, I have not called upon him for a report. Much delay has occurred from the want of materials, and we have been unable to make good progress with the erection of signals at officered stations on this account. The interlocking, to which but little has jet been done, will I hope be placed on a more satisfactory footing, and be pushed on faster during the present year. Wharves. —With the exception of the reconstruction of the Nelson Wharf, which has been in hand during the year, no works of importance were carried out. Buildings. —The Aramoho and Clinton Station-buildings were burned down; the former has been rebuilt and the latter is in hand. Ordinary repairs have been effected where necessary. Miscellaneous Improvements. —The principal works done during the financial year and charged to working-expenses were as follows: —Erection of turntable, Cambridge; picket-fencing at Thames and Shorfcland ; alterations to signals and siding extension, Palmerston North; extension of platform, Patea; approaches to Eangitikei Bridge; additions to District Offices, Wellington; improving lighting of Christchurch Station and yard, and Dunedin goods-yard ; beach-protection at Timaru; road-approach, Dunedin goods-yard; platform and siding, Wingatui Eacecourse; siding extension, Fairdown; floodgates, Blenheim ; ten velocipedes for Wellington District; fourteen portable huts for Wellington and Dunedin Districts ; other works include additions and improvements to a large number of dwellings ; additions and improvements to several stationbuildings, platforms, roads water-services, stockyards, drains ; and siding extensions. The total cost of works charged under this head is £5,069. Additions to Open Lines. —The principal works in hand were as follows : — Helensville —Crane on wharf. Mercer—New house. Tirohia —Platform. Frankton—Eoad; coal and water-service. Ngaruawahia — Verandah. Waihou — Goods-shed and loading-bank. Te Kumi—Stockyards. Waikumete—Goods-shed. Newmarket—Extension traverser-pit.

Several telegraph and telephone services were purchased, and additions, &c, were carried out in various districts. The total cost of works charged under the heading of " Additions to Open Lines" is £64,200. Expenditure. —The total expenditure for maintenance was £392,141, or an increase of £38,195 over that of the previous year, being at the rate of £186 per mile of railway. There were increases on the following items : — £ 1. Track-surfacing, amounting to ... ... ... ... 8,923 2. Track-renewals, amounting to ... ... ... ... 32,273 3. Bridge repairs and renewals, amounting to ... ... ... 3,529 Or a total of ... . ... ... ... ...£44,725 There were decreases on other heads, making the net increase £38,195. The additional amount for track-surfacing was due to the higher rate of wages, extra mileage, and a slight proportionate increase in the number of men employed. The second item was mainly due to greater length of relaying, being seventeen miles more than the quantity laid during the previous year, and to the higher prices of materials. The comparatively large expenditure on maintenance of our lines may be attributed to the necessity of providing a more substantial class of railway to meet the expansion of traffic. This affects both the bridges and the track. Our railways were originally of a temporary character as regards the structures and permanent way, and fit only for light engines and light traffic. Locomotives which have been imported in recent years require stronger structures and track. This practically means providing a higher class railway ; and it seems only equitable that a portion of the expense so incurred should be debited to a capital account, and not to ordinary maintenance. If this principle were applied to the past year's expenditure, the following amounts might fairly be so charged : — £ For improvement of sixty-four miles of track ... ... ... 20,000 For strengthening bridges ... ... ... ... ... 13,000 For miscellaneous improvements... ... ... ... ... 5,069 Total ' ... ... ... ... ... ... £38,069 The ordinary maintenance would then be relieved and reduced to a more reasonable amount. My predecessor in his last annual report (year ending the 31st March, 1899) referred very fully to this matter, and he also furnished tables setting forth future proposals for renewals of track and structures. It is therefore not necessary for me to enter further into the question than to urge that it receive the consideration it demands. Mileage. —The total mileage open for traffic on the 31st March, 1900, was 2,103 miles 16 chains. The following lines having been added during the year:— M. eh. Gorge Eoad to Waimahaka on the Seaward Bush Branch .■.. ... 640 Winton to Hedgehope on the Forest Hill Eailway ... ... ... 12 66 Total ... ... ... ... ... ... 19 26 Private Sidings. —Eleven new sidings were granted making the total at -the 31st March, 1900, 264, with an annual rental of £4,437. Leases. —New leases issued amounted to 311, the total number current at end of year being 1,600, with an annual rental of £15,399. Staff. —The working-staff was 2,345 and office-staff 79, making a total of 2,424. Mr. J. H. Lowe, who for some twenty-seven years had been employed in the service, retired in July last; from which date the charge of the maintenance branch was placed in my hands. I append the usual returns. I have, &c, , John Coom, Chief Engineer. The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways.

APPENDIX E. REPORT ON CONDITION OP THE MIDLAND RAILWAYS. Sm, — Chief Engineer's Office, Wellington, 28th June, 1900. I have the honour to submit the following report on the maintenance of the Midland Railways : — Jackson and Reefton Lines. —These have been maintained in fair order. No relaying has been required or carried out, but the ballasting is somewhat in arrear, and this work must be overtaken during the current year. A considerable sum has been expended on protective works on the bank of the Big Grey River, at 16-J miles on Reefton line, and on the bank of the Poerua Creek from 21 miles to 24 miles on Jackson line. Several bridge-piers and abutments on both lines have been protected by stone facing against scour by floods. Although this railway on the West Coast is subject to heavy floods, the damage done last year was not excessive. The protective works erected at the various river-crossings have had a most beneficial effect. Springfield Section. —This has been maintained in good order, and no special works have been done or required. Motupiko Section. —The track has been maintained in fair condition, but the ballasting, as on the West Coast section, has been allowed to fall into arrear. During the winter months the cuttings on the Spooner's Range grade gave a good deal of trouble, as the boulders loosened by the frost came down in large quantities and took much time to remove. I have, &c, The General Manager, New Zealand Railways. John Coom, Chief Engineer.

APPENDIX G. Sir, — District Traffic Manager's Office, Auckland, 17th May, 1900. I have the honour to report on the working of the Auckland Section of the New Zealand railways for the financial year ending 31st March, 1900. The revenue has increased by nearly £10,000, being an increase of 6 per cent, over the receipts of the previous year. The passenger traffic shows an increase of 75,000 passengers : when it is remembered that part of the Easter-holiday bookings in 1899 were included in the returns for year ending 31st March, 1899, while the Easter holidays this year occurred during April, the bookings for which are included in the accounts for the current year, the increase as above is very pleasing. The parcels traffic shows that 7,000 more parcels have been carried than during the previous year : this traffic is increasing very steadily year by year, the traffic for the year showing an increase of 21,000 parcels over that for "the year 1896-97. The live-stock traffic shows a steady improvement notwithstanding the competition by water carriage with which we have had to contend. There is an increase of nearly 1,000 tons of chaff: had it not been for the low prices ruling for this commodity a much larger quantity would have been carried by rail during the year. Timber shows an increase of 600,000 superficial feet: new mills are being started at Mamaku and Mangapeehi, and the promises for the timber traffic for the ensuing year are very encouraging. Grain and manure traffic has increased by 5,000 tons. Merchandise traffic is 4,500 tons over that of the preceding year : this traffic produces the largest revenue of any goods traffic, and the increase is therefore very satisfactory. The Waikato coal traffic shows an increase of 3,000 tons over that of the previous year. A fair proportion of this increase is due to an extension of the line to Thames having been opened in December, 1898. This traffic is bound, however, to increase from year to year, and a very large impetus will be given to it when the line is opened to Waihi. Waikato coal will then be largely used at the mines for fuel instead of firewood, which latter is now becoming scarce and expensive to get. The passenger traffic to Te Aroha and Botorua Hot Springs has increased very much during the year, and these places are gaining more and more in popularity as time goes on. The change whereby the express trains run all the year round between Auckland and Botorua, with connecting trains on the Thames line, has been greatly appreciated and taken advantage of during the year. The supply of cars and wagons has been augmented during the year, but is still hardly sufficient to meet requirements. When the additions which are now under order are given effect to I hope to be in a position to supply all the necessities of the passenger and goods traffic. The reduction in fares for workmen, which comes into force at the end of this month, will, I consider, largely increase the number of passengers from suburban stations to Auckland.

Business in the Auckland Province is in a good state, and, after carefully considering the matter, I feel quite safe in estimating a fair increased traffic for the ensuing year over that of the year just ended. The train-services during the year have been generally satisfactory. The usual returns and reports have already been forwarded. I have, &c, A. Gbant, District Traffic Manager. The General Manager, New Zealand Railways, Wellington. Sic, — District Traffic Manager's Office, Wanganui, 15th May, 1900. I have the honour to report that the revenue from traffic forwarded from stations in this district for the year ended the 31st March, 1900, amounted to £148,190 2s. 3d. In comparison with the previous year this shows an increase of £9,525 16s. sd. The following table gives the increases under the various headings :— Number. Tons. Value. £'• b. a.

There was also a decrease of 117 tons of straw, chaff, &c. The cash banked shows an increase of £13,984 Bs. 9d. as compared with the previous year. The numbers of passengers, exclusive of season-ticket holders, booked at stations in this district were : — Number. Value of Fares. £ s, d. At ordinary fares ... ... ... ...470,506 51,836 15 7 At holiday-excursion fares ... ... 51,000 9,853 12 8 At school and factory fares ... ... ... 4,712 374 12 9 526,218 £62,065 1 0 Parcels forwarded numbered 52,464, an increase of 2,376 on the preceding year ; and parcels received numbered 59,421, an increase of 2,926. Advantage has not been taken by the public in this district of the system of checking luggage introduced in September last. Up to the 31st March only 409 checks had been issued. The tonnage of goods forwarded from all stations was 162,479 tons ; the tonnage received was 187,624 tons —increases of 14 and 18 per cent, respectively on the tonnage of the previous year. Owing to the recent reductions in rates the revenue derived did not increase in proportion. During the last three years the forwarded tonnage in this district has increased nearly 50 per cent. The supply of rolling-stock has not been equal to the demand. There have been no serious accidents or interruptions to the train-service. There is every indication that the coming year will be a prosperous one, and that the present rate of increase in the traffic will be maintained. I have, &c, H. Buxton, District Traffic Manager. The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways, Wellington.

S IB] District Traffic Manager's Office, Wellington, 22nd May, 1900. I feel much gratification in reporting for your information that the working of the Wellington-Napier district line of railway has resulted most satisfactorily for the financial year ending the 31st March, 1900, there being very substantial increases in all classes of traffic and sources of revenue as compared with any previous year.

The following table will show in a concise form the comparisons of traffic as between the last two years:—

Comparative Return of Outward Traffic for the Financial Years 1899-1900 and 1898-99.

The total net revenue amounted to £246,243, the net increase of tonnage being 64,679 tons, and the net increase of revenue £21,792 2s. 7d. During the last three years the net revenue has increased by £74,538. The above figures show only the traffic and revenue originating on the lines between Te Aro and Spit, and do not include any traffic from the Ashhurst-Foxton-New Plymouth lines. Following table shows the proportional increase in traffic and revenue for year ending the 31st March, 1900, as compared with year ending the 31st March, 1897 : — Increase. Per Cent.

The general prosperity which exists throughout this colony, the closer settlement of laud, the cheapness of money, the stimulating influence of largely reduced fares and freights, and the steady improvement of the dairying industry are the principal factors which have led to such a phenomenal increase of business on this line of railway. On some portions of the line the passenger-services are attaining such dimensions as to necessitate the extension of the principle of running passenger-trains entirely separate from goods traffic, and provision in this direction should be made as early as possible. During the year the mileage run by passenger-coaches amounted to 1,554,527 miles; this comparatively heavy coaching traffic has been worked without injury to any passenger. The movement of goods-wagons has totalled 7,549,046 miles, and, with the exception of a porter being fatally injured at Napier when shunting, personal accidents to members of the staff have been of a trivial nature.

There have been no serious interruptions to traffic. A new train has been put on from Palmerston to Waipukurau and back daily, and with this addition the train-services have proved adequate to carry the business in a satisfactory manner. A regular export of white-pine timber from Hawke's Bay District to Sydney has been established, and it is increasing in a very marked manner, notwithstanding the local outcry that the railage rates on this kind of timber are too high. The Pell service on the Eimutaka Incline has worked most satisfactorily. The rolling-stock generally is in first-class condition for working ; but the number of carriages and wagons is very much below what is required to effectively carry on the business, and the local workshops cannot keep pace with traffic requirements in this respect. Additional engines of a heavier type than those in use are urgently required to satisfactorily cope with the traffic. Heavy expenditure is necessary to provide proper facilities at stations for working and conveniences for passengers, particularly at Summit and Masterton. Nearly all the country platforms require to be lengthened, and a new station-building at Wellington is an imperative necessity. The question of providing refreshment-cars on the mail-trains, or, as an alternative, erecting refreshment-rooms at Masterton, is continually being urged by passengers. The conduct of members of the staff has been good, and they have worked well throughout the year. I have, &c, T. E. Donne, District Traffic Manager. The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways, Wellington.

APPENDIX G. Sib,— District Traffic Manager's Office, Christchurch, 10th May, 1900. I have the honour to report on the working of the Christchurch district of the New Zealand Government railways for the year ending the 31st March, 1900. The traffic in the district has exceeded any previous year to a large extent, the year's operations producing a revenue of £408,373 6s. 3d., being an increase of £68,617 7s. 2d., or over 20 per cent., as compared with the previous year. Although the passenger traffic for the year ending the 31st March, 1899, had produced an increase in revenue of £8,140 12s. 10d., a further substantial increase has to be recorded, the increased revenue from passenger business during the year amounting to £11,167 os. 10d., both the holiday-excursion traffic and the ordinary business participating in the improvement. The following statement shows separately the ordinary and excursion traffic compared with the previous year : —

The increase in the revenue from ordinary traffic is therefore £6,211 3s. 6d., and may be taken as an indication that the expansion of business is not due to the cheap fares alone, but that the traffic is rapidly growing apart from the stimulus of low fares. The traffic to Hanmer Plains makes steady progress, there being a moderate increase compared with last year. The number of parcels booked amounted to 145,608, an increase of 6,484, notwithstanding the increase of last year. This traffic .has steadily developed since the introduction of the reduced scale of charges for parcels. . The system of checking passengers' luggage brought into operation in September last does not seem to commend itself to the travelling public, and has not been taken advantage of to any extent. Possibly as travellers become better acquainted with the system they may realise its advantages. The revenue from goods traffic has increased by £50,471 10s. Bd. over the previous year, there being increases in cattle, pigs, wool, firewood, timber, grain, merchandise, and coal. As forecast in my report for 1899, the grain traffic has been very heavy, the quantity carried being 409,882 tons, and exceeding that of any previous year by 108,050 tons. It is anticipated that the grain traffic for the current year will also be exceedingly heavy, and it is probable that the amount of grain to be carried, taking into account the quantity held over from last year in addition to the new crop, will equal, if it does not exceed, that for the year under notice. The slight decrease in the sheep traffic is chiefly due to the erection of the Fairfield Works, near Ashburton, which has induced large quantities of fat sheep from localities in the vicinity to be driven by road instead of being railed for the longer distance to Belfast, Islington, or Smithfield. The reduced sheep business is, however, counterbalanced by the frozen-meat traffic from Fairfield to Lyttelton.

The quantity of wool carried has increased by 6,902 tons. The road competition in this traffic still continues to decline, there being considerably less carted this year than last, several large clips having been sent by rail which in former years were carted by road. The carting in many localities has practically ceased, experience having shown that there was no economy in carting by road. The frozen-meat traffic has assumed large dimensions, the quantity shipped at Lyttelton and Timaru during the year being as under: —

In timber and coal traffic there is an increase of 4,123 tons and 2,941 tons respectively. The prospects for the current year are excellent, and it is not too much to expect that the heavy traffic of the year under notice will be maintained, if not exceeded. The additions made to the rolling-stock during the year have not more than kept pace with the growth of business, and the district is still suffering from the insufficiency of wagons and carriages referred to in my report for 1899. I have, &c, W. H. Gaw, District Traffic Manager. The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways, Wellington.

Sic, — Traffic Manager's Office, Dunedin, 11th May, 1900. I have the honour to report that the traffic forwarded from stations in this district during the year ended the 31st March, 1900, gave a revenue of £304,389 14s. Bd., against £269,939 11s. for 1899, being an increase of £34,450 3s. Bd. Passenger receipts show an increase of £7,671 Is. 7d., the number of passengers carried being 110,788 in excess of last year. The revenue derived from holiday-excursion fares was £6,500 more than last year, the average fare being 4s. 2-|d. In school and factory excursions there was a considerable falling-off, several excursions being relinquished in order that the funds might be devoted to patriotic purposes, while others were abandoned owing to bad weather. The issue of season tickets during the year increased by 2,162, mostly suburban. Tourist excursions yielded £231 more than last year. Parcels, horses, carriages, and dogs show an all-round increase. From goods traffic the revenue derived was £24,826 in excess of last year, the principal items of increase being : Grain, 50,687 tons ; merchandise, 23,212 tons ; coal, 14,246 tons ; cattle, 1,086 head ; sheep, 16,855 head. The rabbit-export trade is assuming large proportions, no less than 5,215 tons (about four million rabbits) having been carried during the year. The tonnage is no indication of the work entailed, as in most cases the trucks are only partly loaded. Dairy industries are flourishing, the tonnage of cheese and butter forwarded being 100 per cent, in advance of last year. The principal event of the year was the departure of the Fourth Contingent, in connection with which we carried over 30,000 passengers. Our carrying-capacity on the Port ChalmersDunedin line was restricted owing to the absence of suitable crossing-places, otherwise the traffic on this occasion would have been much heavier. The development of the goldfields by dredging has resulted in a large increase of population, and the traffic to Central Otago in machinery and general merchandise is increasing day by day. I would strongly urge the doubling of the line between Port Chalmers and Mosgiel, as the traffic is now too heavy for single-line working. Large additions should also be made to our rolling-stock, both goods and passenger, as the plant available is not nearly equal to the requirements of the business. A new station should be erected at Dunedin, and all main-line crossing-loops should be lengthened. Although the prosperity of the district during the past year has been phenomenal, I anticipate a further large increase of traffic during the current year. I have, &c, Thos. Arthur, District Traffic Manager. The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways, Wellington.

Sir,— District Traffic Manager's Office, Invercargill, 28th April, 1900. I have the honour to report that the traffic operations in the Invercargill district for the year ended the 31st ultimo produced a revenue amounting to £194,366 13s. 7d., as against

£187,035 14s. 9d. for the previous year, giving an increase of £7,330 18s. 10d. The number of passengers carried (exclusive of season-ticket holders) was 487,250, against 431,141 for the previous year (an increase of 56,109), of which 119,982 held holiday-excursion tickets, and the remainder ordinary tickets. The additional revenue derived from this increased number of travellers was £7,034 12s. 6d. . The number of parcels carried was over 6,000 in excess of the number carried during previous year, the increase of revenue being £370 12s. lOd. The net increase in the tonnage of goods was 38,054 tons, the chief increase being in grainnamely, 38,524 tons; and the principal decrease in "minerals other than coal"—namely, 5,251 tons. This decrease is principally due to less material for road-making having been required by local bodies. As predicted in my previous report, the revenue from goods traffic shows a decrease, notwithstanding the largely increased tonnage ; this is, of course, attributable to the reduction in freight upon grain, manures, &c, of which the bulk of the traffic consists. The decrease of revenue was £1,124 7s, 4d., but as the grain season has just begun the decrease in next year's returns will be much greater. The timber and coal trades continue firm, and, although I do not expect any material increase in these lines, there is no reason to anticipate any falling-off. The trade in rabbits is an increasing one, and will probably be even greater next year than it has been during this. Sheep and wool traffic still shows a decrease, the result, as stated in last year's report, of large flocks having been transferred to Canterbury. There is every reason to believe that both will recover their previous volume. * There has been no serious interruption to traffic, but a flood in December last somewhat deranged the train-services on two days. Only one train accident has occurred—namely, at Biles Eoad, in March last. This, however, was proved to be the result of malicious tampering with the points, for which the department cannot in any way be held blamable. A reward of £500, with free pardon to any but the actual culprit, has been offered for the conviction of the offender. Although the year under review has been a prosperous one, I anticipate that next year's working will show an increased traffic, but, as before stated, that the revenue from goods traffic will not be so great, owing to the reductions of freight upon the classes of goods that constitute the bulk of the traffic, which reductions the increased tonnage will not compensate for. The rolling-stock at command is insufficient for requirements, and must be largely increased before traffic can be satisfactorily coped with. I have, &c, S. F. Whitcombe, District Traffic Manager. The General Manager, New Zealand Eailways, Wellington.

APPENDIX H. Sir, — Locomotive Superintendent's Office, Wellington, 19th July, 1900. I have the honour to report on the comparative results of car lighting for the year ending 31st March, 1900. • Plant. The Pintsch oil-gas system of car lighting uses, as the illuminant, a rich gas made from crude petroleum. The process of manufacture liberates the gas from the oil; the tar and impurities being removed by condensation and purification, after which the gas is compressed, by pump, into storeholders, and from them it is conveyed by a system of pipes to various points alongside the tracks on which the ears are supplied with gas. Special hose and fittings are used for the charging of reservoirs under cars. Each car is fitted with a regulator, or reducing-valve, by which the gas, before use, is reduced to the constant and very low pressure which is required for burning it to advantage. The Pintsch oil-gas system of lighting the New Zealand Government railway-cars was installed at Dunedin in 1896; similar plants have since been established at Christchurch, Wellington, Palmerston North, and Auckland. Each installation consists of two furnaces (each containing a pair of 7 in. retorts), purifier and washer, condensers, meter, steam-boiler, compressing-engine and pump, and two or more fixed storeholders. To meet the increased demand for gas, additional fixed storeholders have been added at Dunedin and Christchurch; similar additions will be made at other centres to meet increased requirements. Cars which do not run to a gas-making station are served by travelling storeholders, fixed on bogie platform-wagons. These holders have a capacity, when fully charged, of 5,000 cubic feet, at a pressure of ten atmospheres. Rolling- stock fitted. Up to 31st March, 1900, 439 vehicles were fitted with Pintsch gas, while others in process of being fitted will bring up the total to about five hundred. Each car has fitted, below the floorlevel, two or more reservoirs of size proportionate to the number of lamps it carries. The reservoirs are charged to a pressure of 7 atmospheres, and will supply four duplex-burner lamps for about forty hours, or, practically, the necessary lighting for a week's service on ordinary trains during the winter months. A car is recharged with gas in from three to four minutes.

D—2

Oil. The oil principally used has been once-refined British shale-oil and once-refined New South Wales shale-oil. Other oils have also been tested, including New Zealand petroleum from the Taranaki District, which latter gave very satisfactory results. It is hoped that soon there will be an ample supply of oil available from New Zealand crude petroleum from Taranaki, and shalesoil from Orepuki, the works for production of which are in a forward state. The landed cost of oil in 1899 was from. 8-Jd. to 9d. per gallon. The average quantity of gas obtained per gallon of oil in 1899 was 74 cubic feet. Cost of Production. The necessarily intermittent working, and the several small installations, increase the cost of production as against one large central station. The additional storage capacity now being provided at gasworks will admit of longer periods of continuous gas-making, with correspondingly greater intervals of time at rest. By this means, the relative cost of heating up retorts, and attendance, will be materially diminished per 100 cubic feet of gas produced. From tests made it is found that each single-burner consumes 075 cubic feet, the duplexburner consumes 1-50 cubic feet of gas per hour, the actual working-expenses of production for each single-burner light of six-candle power costing Jd. or the duplex-burner -Jd. per hour for a steady light equal to twelve-candle power, as compared with the old system of lighting by kerosene lamps, costing -|d. per hour for a varying light not exceeding eight-candle power. In other words, the Pintsch gas gives a third more light at a third less cost, or to obtain an equivalent volume of light from a kerosene lamp would cost l-§d., as compared with -|d. par hour for gas, the latter showing a proportionate saving of fd. per lamp per hour. Pintsch gas as compared with kerosene lighting has a further very distinct advantage, inasmuch as it is unaffected by draughts from open doors and windows. For all installations during the year under review the average cost of gas per 100 cubic feet in cars was as follows : Exclusive of interest on and depreciation of fixed plant, 2s. lid. ; inclusive of interest on and depreciation of fixed plant the average cost per 100 cubic feet was 4s. 6d.; inclusive of interest on and depreciation of fixed plant, and also gas-fittings in cars, the average cost per 100 cubic feet was 7s. 4fd. At the latter rate gas burned in the duplex-burner Pintsch lamps, consuming l'so cubic feet per hour, would cost l'33d. per lamp, or in a car equipped with four such lamps 5 - 32 d. per hour. An equivalent light from kerosene would cost 5-92 d. per car per hour, interest on, and depreciation of car equipment included. Taking the Hurunui-Bluff section separately, as an example, the cost of plant and cost of working is as follows : Cost of two fixed plants and four travelling storeholders, £5,408 ; annual charges for working, including interest on and depreciation of fixed plant, £1,742; inclusive of interest on, and depreciation of fixed plant, the average cost per 100 cubic feet was 3s. sfd.; inclusive of interest on, and depreciation of fixed plant, and also gas fittings in cars, the average cost per 100 cubic feet was ss. 7Jd.; total quantity of gas produced from the two works, year ending 31st March, 1900, 1,000,000 cubic feet. The total cost of the several installations of the Pintsch gas system on the New Zealand railways up to the 31st March, 1900, and the cost of working, has been as follows: Cost of five fixed plants and seven travelling storeholders, £11,784 ; cost of*fitting and equipping 439 cars, £21,666; annual charges for working all installations, including interest on and depreciation of fixed plant, £3,380 ; annual charges for working all installations, including interest on, and depreciation of fixed plant, also car equipment, £5,550; total quantity of gas produced during the year, 1,500,000 cubic feet. By-peoducts. Tar. —This is successfully used as fuel, by means of a steam jet and spray, for the gasworks steam-boilers, the grate being first covered with ordinary gas-coke. Hydro-carbon. —There is not at present a local market for this by-product, and it is of too inflammable a nature to warrant transportation. Gbneeal. After retorts become properly heated about 400 cubic feet of gas, at ordinary low pressure, are produced per hour at each installation with an hourly consumption of about 40 lb. of common gas-coke. The cost of lighting 439 cars with gas, at 7s. 4fd. per 100 cubic feet, amounted to £5,550 for the year, as compared with which a similar number of cars, fitted with oil-lamps, giving an equivalent volume of light, would have cost £6,160, all interest and depreciation charges included: a reduction of expenditure amounting to £610. The first cost of equipment of cars for Pintsch gas is greater than for kerosene lighting, but the result of a year's working of Pintsch gas shows a direct saving, while at the same time a far more satisfactory and reliable light was obtained.
