RAILWAYS STATEMENT (14th July, 1908). BY THE MINISTER FOR RAILWAYS. THE HON. WM. HALL-JONES.

Me. Speaker,— The presentation of the Eailways Statement for the year ending 81st March, 1908, imposes on me the pleasing duty of having to announce that the result of the year's operations has been satisfactory. The revenue has maintained that buoyancy that has characterised it for the past thirteen years, and, notwithstanding the liberality of the forecast made at the close of the previous financial year, the actual earnings have exceeded the estimate then given by no less than £211,938. The results may be summarised thus :— Year 1908. Year 1907. £ £ Total earnings ... ... ... ...2,761,938 2,624,600 Total expenditure ... ... ... ... 1,949,759 1,812,482 Net profit on working ... ... ... ... £812,179 £812,118 GENEEAL. The mileage of line open for traffic on the 31st March, 1908, was 2,471 miles as against 2,466 for the previous year. The average number of miles operated during the year was 2,469. The following Extensions weeb opened dubing the Yeah. M. Ob.

The net revenue, £812,179, is equal to a return of 3 - 33 per cent, on the capital invested in the open lines, and 8 - 04 per cent, on the total capital, £26,735,140, invested in opened and unopened lines. The cost of working the Kawakawa Section exceeded the earnings by £912. The Kaihu Section has also been worked at a loss of £463. The number of train-miles run during the year was 7,051,274, being an increase of 295,820. The increased train-mileage represents additional facilities to meet the requirements of the business and the public convenience, and has cost over £81,000. The permanent increase to the train service represents 165,594 miles per annum.

The following figures, which give the record of the late arrivals of the principal trains during the year, indicate that the train services have maintained punctuality:— Average late Arrival. Mm. Mm. For long-distance passenger-trains ... ... W3, against 139 last year. For suburban trains ... ... ... 038, „ 034 „ For long-distance mixed trains ... ... l - 75, „ T63 „ The total number of ordinary passengers carried was 9,756,716, an increase of 155,930 over the previous year. This is very gratifying, as the returns for the previous year showed the phenomenal increase of 774,404 passengers over 1906, consisting largely of traffic of a non-recurring character which was induced by the New Zealand International Exhibition. Season tickets issued numbered 185,174, an increase of 19,670. The number of workers' twelve-trip tickets was 43,961 and of workers' weekly tickets available on suburban lines 101,199. These tickets, I am pleased to say, continue to maintain their popularity. Their regular use- by a large body of the community is practical testimony of the appreciation by the workers of the advantages to be derived by living in healthy surroundings away from the crowded city areas, and of being enabled to travel to and from their work at a nominal cost. Holiday-excursion tickets numbered 732,135, being a decrease of 124,277 when compared with the previous year. This, however, is accounted for by the fact that this class of ticket was issued to Christchurch during the whole currency of the Exhibition. School, factory, and friendly societies' excursion tickets numbered 113,080, an increase of 17,416. The number of school, factory, and friendly societies' excursions run during the year in the principal districts was —Auckland 27, Wanganui 60, Wellington-Napier 42, Christchurch 141, Dunedin 95, Invercargill 39. The coaching and goods traffic show large increases under each of the respective heads that the traffic is grouped, sheep, wool, and grain excepted. In coaching, the increases have been—parcels, 7,636; horses, 653; carriages, 389; dogs, 5,685: and in live-stock and goods traffic —cattle, 17,720 head; pigs, 10,765 ; chaff,' lime, &c, 1,451 tons; firewood 918 tons; timber, 49,057 tons; merchandise, 45,248 tons; minerals, 184,467 tons. The decrease in the wool traffic is 7,568 tons, grain 31,138 tons, and sheep 67,901 head. The net increase in the gross tonnage was 246,000 tons. The decrease in sheep traffic is due entirely to the heavy movement of sheep that took place during the previous year owing to drought. Although, therefore, the sheep traffic for the year under review compared unfavourably with that for 1907, it is nevertheless greater by some 700,000 head than the traffic of any other year when normal conditions have prevailed. The average number of men employed during the year was 12,338, against 10,858 the previous year, an increase of 1,480. During the year 335 members of the permanent staff resigned, 87 retired on superannuation, 34 died, 76 were dismissed, and 980 engaged. Three appeals against decisions of the Department were heard by the Eailway Boards during the year — one was dismissed, and in two cases the punishment was mitigated. Twenty-six members of the Second Division were promoted to the First Division during the year. The sum of £5,418 has been paid as compensation during the year to members retired from the service and to relations of members deceased. This sum includes £5,364 paid under the Workers' Compensation for Accidents Act. The Eailway workshops of the Dominion have been kept going at high pressure on the construction of new rolling-stock for increasing the equipment of the existing lines and providing for the requirements of new lines to be opened in the near future. The new stock actually completed and turned out of the shops during the year consists of 3 tender engines four-cylinder balanced compound type, 1 single-expansion tender engine, and 6 heavy tank-engines; 3 60 ft. suburban cars, 1 60 ft. motor-train car, and 49 474 ft. cars; 18 brake-

D.—2.

vane, 855 goods-wagons, and 2,889 new tarpaulins. The carrying-capacity of the wagon-stock was, moreover, increased by 9,670 tons, which is equivalent to a further addition of 1,612 ordinary 6-ton trucks. 2,095 new steel axles were fitted to carriages, vans, and wagons in substitution of old iron axles; greater strength and increased carrying-capacity have thereby been secured. The whole of the new stock built on the Auckand, Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth and Hurunui-Blnff Sections has been equipped with the Westinghouse brake. All new stock is fitted with modern steel axles. The whole of the rolling-stock, machinery and appliances, track, bridges, buildings, and structures connected with the lines throughout the Dominion have been kept in a thoroughly efficient condition. Considerable progress has been made in the important work of relaying. Ninety-eight miles of main line were relaid during the year with 701b. standard steel rails, miles with 100 lb. steel rails, and 35 miles of branch lines had 30 lb. and 40 lb. rails replaced with 53 lb. steel rails that had been taken out of the main line. The total distance relaid was therefore 134J miles. A large number of new sleepers (331,678) were placed in the track. Ballast amounting to 363,246 cubic yards was also used. Considerable improvements have been made at stations throughout the Dominion in respect to siding accommodation, water-services, lighting station buildings, signalling appliances, road approaches, stock-yards, sanitation arrangements, and dwellings for staff. In addition to these a large number of other works for the promotion of the public interests and increasing the efficiency of the railway were undertaken. Many were completed, while others incomplete at the close of the year were being pushed on with the utmost speed. On the 3rd August a train-accident of a serious nature happened near Ngatira, on the Rotorua line. A double-headed goods-train with passenger-car attached, was proceeding to Rotorua when the engine-driver, without consulting the guard, detached the engines for examination purposes while the train was still on an ascending grade. The train immediately afterwards commenced to run back and ultimately became derailed near the foot of the grade. I regret to say that the guard was killed and two passengers and three railway employees injured. The accident was due to the brakes failing to hold the train, owing to their having been tampered with by some person unknown at the previons stopping-station. REVENUE. The gross revenue for the year amounted to £2,761,938. It exceeded the estimate by £211,938, and the gross revenue for the preceding year by £137,338. Passenger revenue shows an increase of £12,406 ; season tickets, £8,519 ; coaching traffic, £24,963; goods and live-stock, £83,642; miscellaneous and rents, £7,808. The receipts per train-mile amounted to 93 - 75 d., as against 93 - 00 d for the previous year. The earnings of the Lake Wakatipu steamers amounted to £6,637, as against £6,159 last year. The net return was equal to a return of 333 per cent, on the capital cost. EXPENDITURE. The expenditure for the year, including £5,377 incurred in connection with the Lake Wakatipu steamers, amounted to £1,949,759, an increase of £137,277 over the previous year, and absorbed 70 - 59 per cent, of the revenue as against 69 - 06 per cent, for the previous year : — Expenditure.

The sum of £333,386 was expended under the head " Additions to Open Lines," and charged to Capital Account. Of this amount £243,262 was expended on rolling-stock, tarpaulins, _gas storebolders, foot-warmers, and machinery for workshops. The rolling-stock, in respect of which the charges are made, consists of 12 locomotives, 47 carriages, 7 brake-vans, 99 bogie-wagons, 667 four-wheeled wagons, 435 tarpaulins, and 4 cranes, completed on the 31st March, 1908; and 35 locomotives, 74 carriages, 11 brake-vans, 20 bogie and 946 four-wheeled wagons, 75 tarpaulins, and 2 cranes, incomplete, but in hand on that date; £90,124 was spent on tablet and interlocking, telegraph and telephone extensions, bridges, sidings, purchase of land, extension of wharves, stone-crushing plant, fencing, furnaces for foot-warmers, additions to workshops, and dwellings. DUPLICATION OP LINES. On duplication-work the following sums were charged to Capital Account under the provisions of the special Acts relating thereto, passed in 1903, 1904, and 1905, respectively, viz. :— £ Wellington-Hutt duplication-works ... ... ... ... 38,830 New Hutt Road, and purchase of land for same ... ... ... 7,391 46,221 Auckland-Penrose duplication-works ... ... ... ... 54,302 Addington-Rolleston duplication-works ... ... ... ... 11,031 Dunedin-Mosgiel duplication and deviation of line ... ... 74,720 140,053 Less profit on sale of debentures, as per Treasury Accounts ... 891 139,162

CONCLUDING EBMAEKS AND FORECAST. The anticipations respecting the completion of the New Plymouth deviation have been fulfilled, the line being completed and open for traffic on 15th December. It has been found to be of considerable advantage in dealing with the traffic. The expenditure for maintenance of lines, buildings, and other structures has increased from £613,890 to .£638,560, representing an average expenditure of £258 - 31 per mile of railway, against £252-78 for the previous year. The increased expenditure has been incurred on the Kawakawa Section, £557 ; Whangarei, £77 ; Kaihu, £145; Auckland, £8,010; Hurunui-Bluff ; £13,058; Westland, £3,849; Westport, £2,072 ; Nelson, £528; Picton, £401. The cost of maintenance has decreased on the Gisborne Section £293; Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth, £3,734. The increased cost of maintenance is very largely due to the policy of betterment that has been followed daring the past few years, under which the pioneer main lines of the Dominion, originally designed and equipped for dealing with a small business by trains run at low speeds, have been gradually converted into standard lines, capable of meeting the requirements of the ever-expanding traffic and the demands that have arisen for fast passenger-services between the important business centres of the Dominion. The lines are in excellent condition, and, in view of the important functions they perform in the development of settlement and commerce of the Dominion, it is essential that the present high standard be maintained. Additions and improvements to lines and structures amounting to £23,996, which might fairly have been charged to capital, have been made during the year and charged to Working Expenses. The additional expenditure in the Traffic Branch is due to the additional train-mileage, consequent on improved train services and extra train staff to meet the requirements of the expanding business, and for working interlockingsignalling and electric train tablet systems. In the Locomotive Branch the increase is due to extra train-mileage, heavy renewals and repairs, increased cost and consumption of coal, and increased staff to meet the requirements of the traffic, and the improved condition in respect to hours. The increase in the cost of management is mainly incidental to the scale increases of salaries to the staff under the Classification Act. A Eaiiway Classification Act was submitted to and duly passed by Parliament during the last session. It embodies the allowances granted in November, 1905, to certain members of the Eaiiway service, and provides for improved pay t othe staff generally. Eegulations under section 4 thereof relative to the payment of a minimum salary of £130 to married members of the service or to members of the service who are widowers with children dependent upon them, and also relative to the payment of a minimum salary of £100 to members who are 22 years of age or over, have been approved and are now being gazetted. Arrangements have been made by which all railway employees who have been employed in the Eaiiway service continuously for a period of five years or over, but whose status has only been that of casual employee, will be placed upon the permanent staff. Considerable progress has been made with the Auckland-Penrose duplication. The double line between Newmarket and Penrose will, in all probability, be ready for opening by September, but the portion between Auckland and the Parnell Tunnel will not be ready for some time, being dependent on the completion of the Parnell Bridge. The Addington-Eolleston duplication is progressing favourably, and will be ready for opening in the course of a few months. Over four miles of the Lower Hutt- Wellington duplication have been completed, and the duplicate line will be opened to Ngahauranga shortly. Eoad formation and metalling will also be gone on with at an early date. A large amount of work has been carried out in connection with the DunedinMosgiel duplication. The Caversham Tunnel drive has been put in some eight chains, and a start is contemplated at the new Chain Hills Tunnel, Wingatui. Interlocking points and signals were installed and brought into operation at Timaru, Waiareka Junction, Oamaru, Pukeuri, Pelichet Bay, Paparangi, Strat-

D.—2.

ford, New Plymouth, and the permanent electro-pneumatic system at Dunedin. The equipment of Lepperton Junction, Milton, Clinton, Parnell Tunnel, Eemuera, Green Lane, Ellerslie, and Ngahauranga is in hand. Eighty-two Tyers' electric tahlet train-signalling instruments were installed between Waihi-Paeroa, Masterton-Woodville, Oamaru-Pukeuri, and MosgielGore, embracing 160 miles of line. Extensions of the system between Marton and Mataroa, Woodville and Dannevirke, and Frankton and Taumarunui are in hand. For train-signalling on the double lines between Auckland and Penrose, Wellington-Lower Hutt, Heathcote-Kolleston, Sykes' lock and block system is being installed. Automatic tablet exchangers were installed at 19 stations during the year. The electric tablet train-signalling system has been installed over a total of 848 miles, covering the Sections—Henderson-Auckland, Onehunga—Morrinsville, Paeroa-Waihi, Longburn-New Plymouth, Te Aro-Woodville, Palmerston North-Woodville, Lyttelton - Heathcote, Eangiora-Eolleston, Pukeuri-Gore, Wingatui-Omakau, Bluff-Winton, Makarewa-Kiverton, Westport-Granity, and Greymouth-Ngahere. The staff and ticket working is also in operation over 67 miles of line. The Eailway telegraph and telephone system was extended by 518 miles during the year, and now comprises 2,391 miles of wire. This system is most essential to successful and economic working of the Eailway traffic. With a view to giving better facilities for travel between the railway terminus at Culverden and the Hanmer Spa, a road motor service was established on Ist October, 1907, to run in conjunction with the trains. The cars, however, cannot run beyond Waiau Ferry at present. They have proved a convenience, are quicker than the coaches, and when the bridges over the Banmer, Percival, and Eogerson Streams are finished, so that the cars can run right through to Hanmer, there is no doubt they will be found to afford a reliable service that will be appreciated by those who visit Hanmer Springs. The coach journey is at present six miles. Under the Civil Service Superannuation Act passed last session it was provided that the Wellington and Manawatu Eailway employees might, subject to certain conditions, become participators in the Government Eailways Superannuation Fund. On particulars of the arrangements being given, the whole of the company's staff availed themselves of the privilege and are now subscribers. They have, moreover, paid up the greater part of the arrears of contributions in respect to the period intervening between the passing of the Government Eailways Superannuation Fund and the Civil Service Superannuation Fund Acts. The Company has likewise paid £2,500 into the Fund, being one-half of the full sum of £5,000 authorised to be paid by them in instalments of £1,000 per annum for five years. The increase in shipping at Picton, Nelson, and Greymouth has necessitated considerable improvements being undertaken in the matter of wharf accommodation. A ferro-concrete wharf is being erected at Picton, an extension of wharf and breastwork at Nelson, and strengthening and renewals are in hand at Greymouth. At the close of the year the rolling-stock under order and in course of erection in the Eailway workshops consisted of 8 four-cylinder balanced compound tender engines for North Island Main Trunk line, and 10 heavy tank engines, 32 boilers, 104 bogie carriages, 29 bogie brake-vans, 75 bogie and 1,661 four-wheeled wagons. Messrs. A. and G. Price, of the Thames, have delivered four of the fourcylinder balanced compound locomotives, and are making satisfactory progress with the remaining 16 comprised in their contract. A comprehensive programme for rolling-stock has been prepared for the year ending 31st March, 1909. It comprises 28 50 ft. cars, 18 bogie brakevans, 1,066 wagons, and a 1,000 tarpaulins. In view of the early completion of the North Island Main Trunk line, the all-important question of train service has been engaging my close attention for some time past. Many important issues are involved, but after mature consideration I have come to the conclusion that the Eailway time-table must be

VII

D.—2.

framed on lines that will furnish the people of the Dominion with the most convenient and rapid means of transport been Auckland, the Bluff, and the important business centres of both Islands lying between those points. The commercial interests of the country demand that mails should receive quick despatch, and those engaged in business pursuits in the various important centres be given reasonable facilities for replying promptly to oversea communications. The distance intervening between Auckland and Invercargill renders nighttravelling by land and sea unavoidable. It also makes the curtailment of the stopping-places of the through trains, which must in the future be regarded as essentially fast passenger and mail trains, an imperative necessity. It follows, therefore, that a satisfactory service between the north and south portions of the Dominion can be given only by limiting the number of stopping-places for the through trains, and this will be done accordingly. The through trains in the North Island will consist of 50 ft. cars, convertible into sleeping-cars at night, and the time-table will be approximately : South bound. —Leave Auckland 8.30 p.m. Monday ; arrive Wellington 3.30 p.m. Tuesday ; leave by steamer for Lyttelton 8 p.m. same evening; connect with first express at Christchurch Wednesday; arrive Invercargill 9.30 p.m. same night. North bound. —Leave Invercargill 7.10 a.m. Monday, Lyttelton by steamer 10 p.m. same night; arrive Wellington 9 a.m. Tuesday, leave 12 noon ; arrive Auckland 7.15 a.m. Wednesday. Similarly on other days daily connections will also be provided between Napier and New Plymouth and Auckland. The success of the operations of the North Island Main Trunk Eailway will be materially assisted by the acquisition of the Wellington and Manawatu Company's line, which now forms the direct connecting-link between Wellington and the North, and over which a very large portion of the traffic originating on the State railways now passes. It is desirable that the company's line be taken over at the earliest possible date. The linking-up of the chief cities of the Dominion and the settlement of the inland district traversed by the Main Trunk line will undoubtedly result in a large increase of traffic at Wellington and Auckland respectively. Increased accommodation is therefore essential, and with a view to providing this, it is proposed to erect new station-buildings and to remodel the yard accommodation at both centres. Plans for these important works are in course of preparation. In view of the large economies that can be effected in the cost of operating the railways of the Dominion if the gradients were flattened and alignment improved, thus enabling increased loads to be hauled, arrangements are to be made to obtain the data necessary to formulate a scheme for dealing with the matter in a practical and comprehensive manner. As some misunderstanding appears to exist in the minds of those concerned respecting the course they should adopt in respect to appliances invented, or improvements discovered in methods of working, I have directed that notices setting out what is necessary are to be posted in each Eailway workshop in the Dominion. I propose shortly to extend the issue of fifty-trip family and fifty - trip single commutation tickets to distances up to twenty - five miles, to issue workers' weekly tickets under the usual conditions to stations between Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt, and to extend the Wellington suburban area to Upper Hutt. I also purpose during the next summer season to make an experimental issue of week-end tickets to and from the various week-end resorts served by the railways, and, in the event of the result being satisfactory, to further extend, the issue as circumstances warrant. With a view to dispelling the misunderstanding that exists as to the extent of the rolling-stock equipment of the railways of the Dominion I append a table which shows the position clearly and concisely. The tonnage shown represents the actual traffic in goods of every description dealt with during the financial year ending 31st March, 1908 ; the wagons shown are those actually available and suitable for dealing with that business. The wagon capacity has been calculated on the basis of the trucks being made use of for conveyance of traffic on two days per week only, yet even on this very low basis the capacity of the wagons is sufficient to deal with two and a-quarter times the existing goods traffic. If every goods-wagon was loaded to its full carrying-

VIII

D.—2

capacity and made one trip per week only the present stock would still be sufficient to deal with a tonnage greatly in excess of the present business. It is evident that the equipment has a very large margin over normal requirements, and that margin would be ample to meet the fluctuations that occur during the year if users of the wagons loaded them to their full capacity and discharged them with reasonable despatch.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GENERAL MANAGER OF NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. Sir, —■ New Zealand Government Railways, Head Office, Wellington, 7th July, 1908. I have the honour to report upon the working of the open railways for the financial year ended the 31st March, 1908. The capital cost has increased from £23,504,272 to £24,365,647. The revenue was £2,761,938 against £2,624,600, an increase of £137,338. The net revenue was £812,179 against £812,118 last year. The expenditure for the year under review has been £1,949,759 against £1,812,482, an increase of £137,277. The expenditure per cent, of revenue was 7059 as compared with 6906. The rate of interest on capital £3 6s. Bd. as compared with £3 9s. Id. last year. The revenue per train-mile was 7s. 9fd., and the expenditure per train-mile ss. 6Jd., as compared with 7s. 9d. and ss. 4-Jd. respectively last year. The following extensions have been opened during the year : — M Alexandra-Clyde ... ... ... ... ... ... 549 Taipoiti-Reefton ... ... ... ... .. ... 122 Taihape-Mataroa ... ... ... ... ... ... 579 Te Karaka - Puha ... ... ... ... ... ... 1 79 Kaipara Flats - Tauhoa ... ... ... ... ... 240 17 29 The Shag Point Branch ... ... ... ... ... 210 was closed. The total mileage added to the system was thus 15 miles 19 chains, making the total mileage open for traffic on the 31st March last 2,471 miles as against 2,456 miles at the close of the previous year. During the year 9,756,716 ordinary passengers were carried, yielding a revenue of £835,473 and 185,174 season tickets were issued, the revenue derived therefrom being £77,505. There was thus an increase of 155,930 passengers and £12,406 revenue and 19,670 season tickets and £8,518 revenue over the preceding year. 59,194 children and teachers and 53,886 adults travelled by school and factory excursions during the year, the revenue derived therefrom being £7,604, an increase of 3,313 children and teachers and 14,103 adults and £1,089 revenue over the preceding year. 732,135 passengers travelled at holiday-excursion rates, yielding a revenue of £141,520. The coaching and goods traffic have been well maintained during the year, and show increases under all heads with the exception of sheep, wool, and grain. Increases. Coaching. —Parcels, 7,636; horses, 653; carriages, 389; dogs, 5,685. Revenue, £24,963. Goods. —Cattle, 17,720; pigs, 10,705; chaff, lime, &c, 1,451 tons; firewood, 918 tons; timber, 49,057 tons; merchandise, 45,248 tons; minerals, 184,467 tons: revenue, £91,450. Total increase in goods and live-stock tonnage, 245,612 tons. Decreases. Sheep, 67,901 head; wool, 7,568 tons; grain, 31,138 tons. The train-services have been materially improved during the year. Additional trains were placed on the Auckland-Henderson and Auckland-Otahuhu suburban lines and Auckland-Frank-ton and Taumarunui main lines. The goods and passenger business on the Waihi line were separated as far as circumstances permitted. Additions were also made on the Wellington - Napier - New Plymouth, Hurunui-Bluff, Picton, and Westland Sections. These extra facilities amounted to over 200,000 train-miles. Satisfactory progress is being made in regard to the extension of the interlocking of points and signals, installation of electric tablet, and extension of railway telegraph and telephone facilities. I regret to report that a serious train accident occurred on the 3rd August, 1907, when a goods-train with passenger-car attached, from which the engine had been detached for examination, ran back down the grade and became derailed near the bottom of the grade. The guard was killed, and two passengers and three railway employees injured. On the 31st March Mr. John Coom, M.1.C.E., who has occupied the position of Chief Engineer to the Department since 1899, voluntarily resigned his position and retired on superannuation. Mr. Coom's service extended over a period of thirty-two years. He was closely connected with the surveys of the routes of the main lines of railway in various parts of the Dominion, and, after joining the Working Railways staff, occupied in turn responsible positions as District Engineer in Auckland, Invercargill, Dunedin, Inspecting Engineer for the whole railway system, with headquarters at Wellington, ultimately attaining the position of Chief Engineer in 1899. Mr. Coom was a painstaking, capable officer, and he administered his branch with considerable ability. Locomotive. Mr. A. L. Beattie, Chief Mechanical Engineer, reports as follows : — The engines, rolling-stock, plant, and appliances have been maintained in good and efficient order, the details of work being as follows : — Locomotives. —The number of engines in service on lstJApril, 1907, was 398, and thefnumber on 31st March, 1908, was 410. Twelve new engines were added to the stock ; of these ten were built in

D.—2.

the Government Railway Workshops, and comprised three large tender engines, four-cylinder, " balanced, compound," one large tender engine, " single expansion " type, and six heavy tank engines; and two large tender engines of the four-cylinder " balanced compound " type were completed under Messrs. A. and G. Price's contract. In the Railway Workshops to date 63 engines have been built, and 24 old locomotives rebuilt to more modern types. Four, hundred and sixty-two locomotives passed through the workshops during the year, details as follows :—

Included in above return are six engines for Public Works Department. In the Railway Workshops the following locomotives were under construction at close of year — viz., 8 large tender engines, four-cylinder " balanced compound " type, specially designed for the heavy gradients on the North Island Main Trunk Railway, and 10 heavy tank engines. Under the contract with Messrs. A. and G. Price, Thames, 18 engines were incomplete, so that altogether there were in hand at close of year 36 locomotive engines. Boilers. —Very satisfactory progress has been made with boiler renewals and repairs. Eighteen new boilers were completed. The details of boiler work done are as follows : —

Thirty-two new boilers are under construction, comprising 3 Class D, 4 Class F, 6 Class J, 1 Class S, 10 Class Wf, and 8 Class X. Carriages. —The car stock on Ist April, 1907, consisted of 966 cars, and the stock on 31st March, 1908, was 1,002 cars. Fifty new cars, Class A, were built in the Eailway Workshops and put into service; these comprised three 60ft. suburban cars, one 60.ft. motor-train car, and forty-six 47^ft. cars. Three old D, four-wheel, cars were sold, and are beingvjreplaced with standard-type cars ; eight old cars were altered to goods-wagons, and three condemned cars were replaced by new cars provided out of revenue. The seating accommodation has been increased by the additional cars 6 per cent. A number of additional cars have been equipped with lavatory accommodation, cushioned seats in second-class compartments, platform gates and gangways. The following table gives details of the repairs, &c, to cars for the year : —

Two worn-out obsolete wagons were written off, and are being replaced with standard wagons at the cost of revenue. In addition, there were built in the Railway Workshops, 25 wagons for Mines Department, and 2 wagons for Napier Harbour Board. The carrying-capacity of wagon stock was increased by 9,670 tons, equal to 9 per cent., being an equivalent of 1,612 ordinary wagons. The following table gives particulars of repairs, &c, to wagon stock for the year : —

One thousand seven hundred and thirty-six wagons are under construction, comprising 75 bogie and 1,661 four-wheelers.

Two new 5-ton steam-cranes are being made in Railway Workshops. Axles. —During the year 2,095 car, van, and wagon axles were replaced with modern steel axles ; this number does not include the new stock built. The replacement of old iron axles by modern steel axles of increased stength has been charged, as hitherto, against revenue, although it has enabled the capacity of the 6-ton goods-wagon to be increased to 8 tons, ,nd 8-ton wagons to 10 tons. Westinghouse Brake. —All new engines and rolling-stock built on Auckland, Wellington-Napier-New Plymouth, and Hurunui-Bluff Sections are equipped with the quick-acting Westinghouse brake before being placed in traffic, and effective arrangements are in force for the systematic examination and upkeep of Westinghouse brakes. Car-lighting. —The oil and acetylene gas manufactured at the five separate Pintsch gasworks amounted to 4,812,177 cubic feet, costing 2s. 5 - 10d. per 100 cubic feet. By the introduction of incandescent inverted mantles a marked improvement has been effected in car-lighting, and arrangements have been made to equip all carriages with these mantles. Workshops. —Various additions to workshop plant and appliances have been made during the year. Motor-cars. —To connect Hanmer Springs with the railway terminus at Culverden a motor-car service was established during the year. Pending the building of bridges across the Hanmer, Percival, and Rogerson Rivers, the motor-cars at present run to Waiau Ferry only, a distance of eighteen miles, the remaining six miles of the journey being completed by coach. Re-taring Wagons. —The tare weight of all wagons is checked each time a wagon is in the workshops for repairs; also, at intervals not exceeding twelve months, the tare of all goods-wagons in service is checked and adjusted. Steamers. —The Railway Department's steamers on Lake Wakatipu have been maintained in good order and condition. Train-running and Mileage. —There has again been a very marked increase in train-mileage. Compared with 1906-7 the increase for 1907-8™ 295,820 train-miles, or equal to 4-38 per cent., and 487,797 engine-miles, being equal to 5-32 per cent. The increased cost per train-mile is due to increased cost of wages, fuel, and materials. The cost of rebuilding old cars, vans, and wagons, together with the renewal of axles, was exceptionally heavy last year, and materially added to the cost of working. The following statement shows particulars of the expenditure per train-mile : —

Maintenance. Mr. J. Burnett, Chief Engineer, reports as follows: — Permanent-way. —The track generally is in good condition. Relaying was done during the year as under: — Miles. Main line relaid with 70 lb. steel material ... ... ... ... 98 1001b. „ 1} Total new material ... ... . . .. ... 99J Branch lines, 30 lb. and 40 lb. relaid with second-hand 53 lb. steel material, &c, removed from main line ... ... ... ... 35 Total relaying ... ... •... ... ... ... 134£ Sleepers. —33l,67B new sleepers put into track; 88,470 of these were imported hardwood; balance—243,2oB native timber, 77,983 of which were creosoted. The cost of track renewals, which includes all relaying, continues high, representing almost one-third of the total expenditure on maintenance. Slips and Floods. —No serious interruption to traffic was caused by slips or floods. 8a11a5ting. —363,246 cubic yards of ballast were used on the track during the year. The opening of a ballast quarry with crushing plant has been put in hand at Te Kuiti, and a stonecrushing plant has been installed in the Wellington district. Bridges, &c. —Bridges and culverts have been maintained in safe condition, and a large amount of renewals and strengthening has been carried out. The principal works in hand were as follows: Strengthening Hamilton Bridge; approaches for new steel viaduct, Mangatewainui, on the Napier line; Rangitata North and Temuka Bridges, in the Christchurch district; the Mataura Bridge, Glenham Branch; and the Oreti Bridge, on the Mossburn Branch.

Doubling and Improvement of Lines. —Auckland-Penrose : Good progress was made with this work, the bulk of the formation and platelaying having been completed. The principal works still to complete are the superstructure of the Parnell Bridge, the Remuera Road Bridge at Newmarket, and the bridges at Racecourse platform and Gladstone Road. The double line between Newmarket and Penrose will be brought into use on completion of the interlocking and blockworking appliances, probably about September. The portion between Parnell Tunnel and Auckland cannol be opened till the Parnell Bridge is completed, probably a year hence. Hutt Road and Railway Improvement : Progress on this work has been retarded by the difficulty of obtaining adequate supplies of suitable rock for the sea-wall. About four miles of the duplicated line between Lower Hutt and Paparangi Point is now open for traffic, and a further length to Ngahauranga will be opened very shortly. It will now be possible to push on with the road-forming and metalling. Addington-Rolleston : Formation has been completed, and platelaying is being proceeded with. The remodelling of Addington and Hornby Junction station-yards is in hand, several new station buildings are in course of construction, and the double line will probably be ready for opening about November or December.

Dunedin-Mosgiel : A large proportion of the earthworks between Dunedin and Caversham has been completed. The foundations and abutments of bridges between these places are ready for the superstructures, which are being made under contract. The new Caversham Tunnel is driven over 8 chains at the north end, and driving at the south end will shortly be started. Earthworks between Cattle-yards and Abbotsford are being pushed on, and will soon be started at the Wingatui end. The new' Chain Hills Tunnel will be commenced at an early date. The new engine depot, Dunedin, is being pushed on. New Plymouth Railway deviation, of about If miles, has been completed, and opened for traffic. It has already proved a great assistance to the traffic. Expenditure. —The expenditure on maintenance, including general charges, amounted to £638,560, equal to nearly £259 per mile. The increase is mainly due to additional staff necessitated by the development of traffic, the maintenance of telegraph-lines not previously charged under this head, and to the increase in the charges for maintenance of buildings. Mileage. —The mileage open for traffic on 31st March was 2,471 miles 20 chains. 17 miles 30 chains were opened during the year. Private Sidings. —On the 31st March there were 322 private siding rights, with an annual rental of £5,612. New rights granted during the year were fourteen.
