The Debenture Capital Account at the close of the year showed an increase of £1,024,o38 4s. 3d. The additional capital consisted of £833,333 6s. 8d., the amount allocated during the year to railways under the Treasury Bonds Acts, Nos. I 217

and 1233, and £2 I 9, 704 I 7s. 7d., the proceeds of the Victorian Government Stock Act No. IOI 5·

Provision was made in the Railway Loan Application Bill No. I300 for the redemption of Hobson's Bay debentures amounting to £3o,ooo, which became payable on the Ist ,July, I 892, and debentures to the value of £29,ooo have been redeemed.

The total amount of interest which became due and payable during the year was £I,422,426 4s. sd., which, with £24,498 I3S. 6d.-the amount paid by the Treasury for expenses in payment of interest-made the interest charges for the year £I,446,924 qs. IId. This amount was, however, reduced to £I,4I9,924 qs. nd. by the estimated interest ( £2 7 ,ooo) allowed by the banks upon the unexpended balances of loan moneys in their hands.

The increased interest and charges for the year amount to £32,896 ss. 8d.

The following statements show in detail the working for the year, but the result may be summarized, thus :-

Total traffic . . . £2,92 5,948 Total working expenditure I,8 50,29I

NET PROFIT ON WORKING £1,075,657

or an increased net profit over last year of £I I 8,674.

The percentage of working expenses to the gross revenue is 63·23, a decrease of 5 · 8 5 per cent. on last year, although owing to the disturbed financial and industrial condition of the colony the revenue for the year shows a shrinkage of £I 6 9, I7 4·

The working expenditure shows a gross decrease of £307,6 8o, or, after making provision for additional superannuation allowances and gratuities to the amount of £10,582 and for a sum of £9,250 paid to the ex-Commissioners, a net decrease of £287,848.

The deficiency in meeting the interest charges for the year is, as shown in the profit and loss account, £344,267 I8s. 6d., a decrease of £85,777 IJs. 2d., the deficit for I 89I-2 being £430,045 I IS. 8d.

The total expenditure on railways opened or m course of construction at 3oth June was £37,462,372.

The net revenue gives the following results :-

2 ·87 per cent. on the total capital cost. 3 ·I 2 per cent. on the total expended debenture capital.

The tonnage of goods and live stock was 3,386,888, as against 3,654,967, a decrease of 268,079·

The train miles amounted to I0,775,134, as against II,8o7,677, or a decrease of

It has been apparent for some time that it ·would be necessary to discontinue the preparation of statements showing the railway accounts in systems.

These statements involve a large amount of detailed bookkeeping and clerical labour, and have for many years past been of little value. They cannot be more than merely rough approximations. As the network of railway has gradually extended through all parts of the Colony it has become a matter of great difficulty to sati8factorily define the lines of demarcation het•reen one system and another, and the divisional returns have necessarily become more intricate and difficult in preparation, and are consequently less reliable even as approximate statements.

The concentration of the suburban traffic at Flinders-street, and the transfer of the whole of the goods business to the terminus at Spencer-street will render the future division of the accounts into systems virtually impracticable.

The following statements, showing approximately the apportionment of revenue and expenditure over systems as hitherto, are therefore submitted for the last time.

N OR'fHERN SYSTEM.

The mileage has increased from 8o4 to 8 3 6~, mving to the opening of the Donald to Birchip line, 32i miles.

The total capital expended amounted to £ro,95o,o9o, and the net earnings to £325,484, equal to 2'97 per cent., against 2'55 per cent. last year.

There are several factors which affect comparisons of working between this and last year.

We have sold more old material than was disposed of last year, and have, as usual, placed the proceeds to the credit of our expenditure. Against the sum so credited there may be placed the credits to working expenses for last year, that for locomotive material returned to stock alone amounting to £17,485. The reduction in train mileage which we effected resulted in a saving during I 891-2 of about £10,ooo, and the increased freights and fares added a sum of at least £15,ooo to the revenue. All these factors must be taken into consideration if a strictly accurate comparison is attempted.

In comparing the railway systems of Victoria and New South Wales, it has been stated that in this colony " the cost of rail ways was ,written down £2oo,ooo each year from the moneys received from the sale of Crown lands." This is a grave misconception. On reference to the Annual Reports it will be seen that the sums received from the Rail way Loan Liquidation and Construction Account and the Land Fund Acts 812 and 1106 (amounting in the aggregate to £2,8o3,74o) have been regularly debited year by year to the capital cost of the lines. Nothing has been received from this source for the last two years.

Comparisons of railway working are worthless if allowance is not made for the different conditions and circumstances which prevail between the systems compared. Thus a comparison between the railway systems of Victoria and New South Wales would be manifestly incorrect if the increased cost of coal, our large suburban train service, the large amounts annually charged to working for pensions and gratuities, the absence of subsidies from Government departments, and other similar factors were not taken into consideration.

It has been stated that the rates on the Victorian Railways, more especially for cereals, are higher than those in other colonies. The rates for cereals are lower in New South 'Vales, but their business in those commodities is of a very limited character. In South Australia, where this business may be justly compared, the rates are a trifle higher than ours.

11

REVENUE.

It is a matter for reo-ret that owinO" to the financial paralysis from which the b ;::,

colony has been suffering-emphasized during the months of May and June by the collapse of the majority of the banking institutions-the estimated revenue has not been realized. There has been a general diminution not only in passenger and goods receipts, but several of the railway contracts, notably those for advertising and refreshment leases, have been relinquished, and have had to be re-let at a considerable decrease on the amounts previously paid.

It is also calculaterl that an unusually large portion (estimated at the close of the financial year at I so,ooo tons at least) of the last harvest is still inland, awaiting transit when market conditions improve.

While such disturbing elements exist it is, of course, impossible to frame reliable estimates.

Had the estimated revenue (£J,Joo,ooo) been reached (and at the time the estimate was framed there was every prospect of its 1·ealization) the railway deficit would have been practically extinguished.

The only item of revenue which shows an increase for the year is that of rents, and this increase is mainly due to the fact that we have largely extended the policy of leasing unoccupied lands within the railway boundaries, but not required for traffic purposes, and a considerable revenue has been derived from this source.

LocoMoTrVE BRANCH.

Owing to various circumstances our schemes for reorganization and retrench­ment in this branch have only been very partially carried into effect. Considerable reforms have already been initiated, and others are in contemplation, which will result in large economies without impairing the efficiency of the Department.

The Locomotive Inquiry Board, in their report, have confirmed the views held by us with reference to this branch, and have made very valuable suggestions, all of which are receiving our attention.

Upon the 1·etirement of the late Locomotive Superintendent we decided to combine the duties of that office with the charge of all the other mechanical engineer­ing work of the Department, as a means to greater efficiency and economy in working, and this result is being rapidly attained.

Newport Workshops.-\Ve have arranged that only legitimate repairs to the stock are to be effected in the shops in future. This '\\ill result in a considerable diminution of expenditure.

\V e do not, however, propose to dispense with the permanent staff; but their working time has already been reduced to 5~ days per week, and it -nill be necessary to place the hands on further short time until circumstances improve.

Rolling-stock.-Our first consideration in connexion with the rolling-stock is to have it maintained in a thoroughly efficient state, and this has been carefuUy attended to. The accounts of the branch show an increase in the cost of repairs to carriages and waggons when compared with I 891-2; but this is only apparent, owing to a sum of £6,7 50 having been credited to this item last yea.r, being proportion of value of stores issued in excess of current requirements during several years, reference to which was made in last Annual Report.

The actual cost of repairs for I 891-2 was £128,095, against £127,581 this year.

12

Light v. Heav;y Engines.-ln our opinion it is desirable to have light engines where the traffic is intermittent, and powerful engines for the main lines; but the stock should be adapted to the class of work it has to perform. Engines of the American consolidation type would be suitable for nearly the whole of our lines; but in view of our present excess stock, and the absence of funds, they cannot be obtained in the meantime.

Owing to the approaching completion of contracts entered into prior to our taking office, we have a large number of suburban engines in excess of requirements; it will be necessary to alter them so that they may be utilized in other directions or dispose of them.

Motors.-One of the motors, originally introduced with the Rmvan car, has been running between Essendon and Broadmeadows, and the other between Camber­well and vVaverlev. The three new motors constructed bv our direction are

~ . employed on the Maffra to Briagolong, Ballarat to Lintons, and Ballarat to Buninyong lines, and the results obtained have fully answered our expectations.

Corridor Cars.-Two corridor cars have been built and placed on the Bendigo express service, and have given great satisfaction to the public, and other cars have been altered on the same principle. It is our intention, as soon as funds will permit, to add largely to this and the American class of rolling-stock, and future rebuilding will, as far as practicable, be in these directions.

REDUCTION IN MILEAGE.

In our last report we stated that, in order to effect retrenchment in the expenditure of the Department, a reduction in train mileage was imperative.

Last year's mileage would have been considerably more but for the partial stoppage of traffic by flood damages; the reduction this year amounts to r,o32,543 miles, and this saving has been effected without any material diminution of facilities. The reduction would also have been much greater but for the additional mileage run through the opening of new lines, &c. The mileage has also been increased by the addition of the Dookie and Katamatite Tramway to the railway system, and the development of an extensive and profitable seaside and country excursion traffic.

VICTORIAN CoAL.

Coal is now being produced in Victoria in quantity and quality sufficient to largely affect outside supplies. vVe thoroughly realize the importance of the development of this industry, and have, consequently, given facilities for a largely increased con­sumption. It is too early yet to state the result from a financial point of view, but experiments are being conducted which will enable us to fix a price commensurate with its value. The rates of carriage of this coal have been reduced from rd. to :fd. per ton per mile. The rate to the consignee is id., the Government having agreed to recoup the Department to the extent of another !d. per ton. We are of opinion, however, that the rate of Id. per ton per mile, \vhich is charged for all other coal, is scarcely remunerative, and we think a further subsidy should be provided by the Government, in order that the Department may not have to carry Victorian coal at a loss.

LIGHTING.

Considerable improvements have been effected in eonnexion with the lighting of the stations, semaphores, and carriages of the Department. We have tried various illuminants, and experiments are now in progress which we a.re assured will result in still greater advantages in this respect. A saving of over £I 2,ooo per annum has

13

already been effected by the substitution of kerosene for gas, principally in signals, and in the former we have not only a much less expensive but more reliable light.

'Ve believe that the large saving referred to will be considerably augmented when the rearrangement of this business is completed.

hcREASED AccoMMODATION.

A number of carriages with improved lavatory conveniences have been placed on all the main lines, and additional necessary accommodation for passengers has been provided at a number of stations.

REMOVAL OF SIDINGS.

When we took office we found on inspecting the lines that there were a number of sidings in existence which were not necessary for the requirements of the traflic. The permanent-way material with which they were formed has been taken up and has been, and will be, utilized elsewhere as required.

MALLEE LINES.

The Warracknabeal to Beulah and the Donald to Birchip lines, both of which were opened during the year under review, are showing satisfactory results. The lines are being worked without platforms at stations, and ·with a minimum of siding accommodation, and the carriages in use, which have been built on the American principle, have been found to be admirably adapted to the requirements of the districts. The guard is enabled to have thorough surveillance over the traffic; the booking is done in the train ; and, generally, it is found that large economies in working are effected by the adoption of this class of stock. It is our intention to apply this system of working, wherever practicable, to other lines throughout the colony.

RoAD Co:r.rrE'l'ITION.

Owing to the abnormal state of the colony, and the fact that labour, horses, and feed are so cheap, and that there is little or no employment for many carriers at what may be deemed their legitimate business, teams have been placed in competition with some of the lines of railway. On the Northern and Western districts, however, where the competition has been most active, the goods revenue of the Department shows an increase. The extent of the competition has not been so great as to warrant an all-round reduction in freights, but we contemplate alterations in certain directions, which, we hope, will have the effect of restoring the portion of our profitable traffic which has been transferred to the teamsters.

BoARD OF FINAL~CE AND \VonKs.

In our last report we stated that we had established a Board of ~"'inance and 'V orks, consisting of the heads of branches and other responsible officers. Meetings have been held regularly throughout the year, and the deliberations of the Board on the various matters which came under review have been of material assistance to us, and have conserved the interests of the Department. In addition to their ordinary functions, the Board have been for some time engaged, at our request, in formulating a scheme (which is no\v under our consideration) for the regrading and classification of the whole of the railway service.

Al\iALGA:\lATION OF OFFICES, ETC.

Large economies and increased efficiency have been effected by the amalgama­tion of offices. Traffic and Telegraph Inspectors have been appointed and District Traffic Superintendents with their office staffs abolished. The Engineering and Loco-

14

motive Accountants' staffs have been amalgamated with that of the General Accountant. The Secretary's office has been re-organized, and in other branches the duties of various employes have been combined. A number of officers who were in receipt of large salaries have been retired on pension or compensation and their places filled without addition to the staff. New regulations have been framed affecting leave of absence, employes passes and privileged tickets, overtime and travelling allowances, by which a considerable retrenchment in expenditure has been effected.

Complaints from the public against the employes have been very few, and it is a matter of general comment that there has been a marked improvement in the discipline of the service.

When we accepted office we recognised that we had exceptionally onerous duties to perform. The Victorian Rail ways were equipped with a staff and service which had been more than sufficient to cope with the requirements of several years of unexampled prosperity, and we have been entrusted with the administration of the Department during a period of unparalleled depression. The first duty incumbent upon us was, and still is, to retrench in every direction consistent with the safety and requirements of the public. Our endeavour has been, and will be, to perform this necessarily unpopular duty in what we deem to be the best interests of the public and the Department.

Although we have reduced expenditure in every direction we have been careful not to do so at the expense of efficiency. The lines and rolling-stock have been well maintained, and there has been an extension in several necessary directions of inter· locking and block working.

The amount paid for personal compensation claims was £4-,968, hut the liabilities for the year were less than half that amount, thus showing a markedly favorable comparison with the three years immediately preceding.

We cannot close this report without making special reference to the staff. ·we have had to dispense with a large number of employes, retire old and faithful officers, increase duties, reduce salaries and wages, and curtail privileges; but in face of this the officers and staff generally, recognising the exigencies of the times, have rendered us cordial assistance, and have borne the burden of retrenchment with a commendable spirit of loyalty and fortitude which we do not intend shall be forgotten when the circumstances of the colony improve.

In the Appendix will be found the reports of the Engineer-in-Chief, the Chief Mechanical Engineer, and the Engineer for Existing Lines, together with detailed statements of the Capital and Revenue Accounts, and other statistical returns.

THE BoARD OF LA!IID AND WoRKS (HAlLWAY CONSTRUCTION BRANCH).

Engineer-in-Chief's Office, GENTLEMEN, Melbourne, 12th September, I 893.

I have the honour to report that, at the 30th June, I 893, the Engineer-in-Chief's final certificate had been given on all contracts for line construction unuer the last general Railway Construction Act (No. 82 I) of I 2t,h December, I 884-. Some further accommouation works at stations, &c., may, however, be required. The branch line to Frankston Cemetery, authori:.~ed under that Act, has not been commenced.

Contractors' claims, mentioned in last Annual Report as having been referred by l\iessrs. Falking­ham and Sons and l\iessrs. Bloomfield Bros. to arbitrators (in each case under protest from the Department), amounting to £67,708 9s. 11d. and £28,234- rs. 3d. respectively, have been adjudicated upon by the arbitrators, and the awards taken up by the contractors, but the Department has, under legal advice, declined to pay either the amounts of the awards or the arbitrators' costs.

Claims amounting to £7f,OI9 JR. 5d. beyond the Engineer-in-Chief's final certificate on the line contract between Cathkin anu Mansfield have been referred by the contractor, :Mr. Robert Thornton, to arbitration, the Department appearing under protest. The case is now proceeding. .

Claims amounting to £1 f,2fO I9s. beyond the Engit1cer-in-Chief"s final certificate on Messrs. Buckley and Sons' contract (No. 3,71 I) for construction of the third section of the Great Southern Railway, between Toora and Port Albert, were referred to arbitrators on the initiative of the contractors, the Department protesting. The mattet· is still pending.

The two railways in the malice district. in the north-west of Victoria, which were commenced in :March, 1892, were opened for public traffic throughout, as follows:-

Warraclmabeal to Beulah, 22 miles, 5th ,January, 1893. Donald to Birchip, 32! miles, 28th March, 1893.

After the \V ay and Works had been maintained by the Board of Land aml Works, but at the cost of Revenue Account, for some months, the lines were handed over for maintenance to the Railway;; Commissioners on the 1 Ith July, 1893·

These two lines have been constructed at a cost per mile very much below that of any railways previously made in the colony, owing to the light and economical character of the works, the low rates for labour and materials due to the existing depression, the land being handed over to the Department free of cost, and the works being carried out under the new system of small contracts.

The railway, I6 miles in length, from Beulah to Hopetoun, for the construction of which by private enterprise Aet No. 1260 was passed on the 26th September, 1892, was taken over by the Board of Land and Works from the proprietor, ~h. Edward Harewoou Lascelles, of Geeloug, under ag-reement dated I 6th June, I 893, by whieh the Board repays Mr. Laseelles' expenditme on the line and takes over his liability in eonnexion therewith, including uncompleted contracts, Mr. Lascelles also transferring all land for the railway free of cost, and conveying to the Government Mallee Block No. 27, Part B, containing about If6 square miles. The agreement is subject to the ratification of Parliament within twelve months, pending which the works are being carried on, and it may be expected that this railway will be available for the traffic of the coming harvest.

Acts for the construction of new railway lines, under the Railway Lands Acquisition Act 1893 (No. 1288), have been passed during the year, as follows:-

1292, Natimuk to Goroke, 27th February, I893· I293, Nathalia to Picola, 27th February, I893· 1299, Heidelberg to Eltham, 3rd March, 1893.

Also Act I 2 55, elated 4th August, I 892, amending the Coal .. !Jtines Railway Construction Act I 891 (No. 1240) by varyiug the route an<l repealing the provision for guarantee in respect of the Korumburra to Coal Creek Railway; and A.et 1294, dated 27th February, I893, still further amending the Coal Jiines Railway Construction Act I 89 I by repealing the guarantee provision as to the two other railways in the original Act, viz., Korumburra to Silkstone and Strezlccki, and Korumburra to ,Tumbunna.

The construction of the two last-named railwayK was commenced in April, I 893. The Korumburra to Coal Creek Line, three-fourths of a mile in length, constructed under Acts I 24-0

and 1255, was opened for public traffic on 28th October, I892, and has since been worked and maintained by the Railways Commissioner;;, A short extension of this line, about 6 chains in length, has since been undertaken with a view to provide more convenient loading. This extension is within the limits prescribed by the Acts.

The Goroke Line was commenced early in May.

Steps have been taken under the Railway Lands Acquisition Act 1893 (No. r288) for the formation of Railway Construction Trusts in eonnexion with the Heidelberg to Eltham and Nathalia to Picola Railways, but until these Trusts take the necessary action for acquiring and handing over the land the construction of the lines cannot be commenced.

I have the honour to report that Lluring the year endctl 30th June, 1893, the way aml works of the Victorian Rail ways were efficiently main tainetl.

The total expenditure for the year ou acconnt of mainteuance was £327,959 2s. 2d. for an aYcrage of 297 miles of tloublc aml an nvemgo of 2,636 miles of line of way, or a total average length of 2,933 miles of line maintniued, ns against £412,336 9H· fll. for an nvcrage of 29 miles of double and an :werage of 2,537~ miles of single line of wny, or a t.otnl avemge length of 2,829! of line maintained in 1891-2, being at the rate of £rrr .t6s. 4-cl. in 1892-3 as comparcrl with £145 IfS. rod. in tlw previom; year, and £162 ;s. fd. in 1890-91. TIJC avemge cost of maintenance per train mile iu 1892-3 has been 7'3Itl., as against 8·38,l. in the previous year, atHl 8·39tl. in I890-91.

The cxpcnditum for ~tores int·lwle(l in the figure for this year is nnusnally low, owing principnlly to large credit,; luning been to account for the sale of oltl material. Withont these credit~ the cost of maintenance per mile aYcmgc ahont £120 per mile, and ;~d. per train mile.

There were 6~ miles of wny rails) nscd for renewals during the yea1·, as against 5 miles in I891-2, ancl 12 miles in ISgo-91; ant! the nnmber of used for renewals and repairs was 75,774 in I 892-3, as again'lt 68,899 in 1 I-z, nml 73,668 in I

\Yitlt the object of making fnrthe1· savingH in expenses, cattle-pits have been substituted for gates at upwarcls of zoo public roa(l level erossiugs during the year, am! the work is still proceeding. This enables the wages of gatekeepers to he ~a vet!, uud the gatehouses, if not req nired to be removed and re-erectctl ns qnarters at stations, arc let to t!te workmen at a small rental.

No. 3. Locomotive Cnrriage and '\Ynggon Brand1,

Chief l\fechanicnl Engineer's Office, :Melbourne, 8th September, I 89 3·

GENTLE~mx,

I have the honour to report on the operations of the Locomoth·e Carriage and Wagl!on Branch the twelve (12) month~ ending 3oth June, 1893. which were np to the 12th ,Tunc carried out under supervi8ion of .Mr. ""l. D. Smitlt, who, a" Locomotil·e Superintendent., had charge of the branch.

The mileage run was as follows:-

Train mi!c.o; I 0,77 5, I 34 I I ,So; ,677 Engine miles J3,635,72I 14,932•449 ~files per engine 27,326 32,321

for the

Two h1mdreil ani! nine (209) engines, three hundred and ninety-one (391) carriage~ and vnns, and three thonsand 011e lnuulrrd ami fifty-c:nc (3, 1 s 1) waggons have been repaired at l\ewport ami Port .Melbourne \Vorkslwps. Light repairs to 11,8+ 1 waggons linvc bc,<·n etfceted at the Truek Shops at Spencer­l't:rcct autl l't·ince',.[J1'hli£C, anti ubont 6o c11gines h:lYc been orerhanlctl at the conntr:' dept>t", ~nch as Ballarat, Bcntligo, .:Yfuryhoi'Ongh, &e. .

Ono fircit-da.'is ant! one second-class ;o-ft. corridor car for use on main lines, fonr sceoml-class bogw cars, three eompo,;ite bogie car,.;, 25 "II" and 100 "I" trucks, and one motor or light loeomoti1·e ha,·e been constructed at the shops during the yt;ar. .

The \l'nrkshops at Xewport. :uul Port :l\1clbonrno have been worked on short time (five and a half (5D dayH of eight (8) honr" each per week) .,;ince 8th Augnst, 1892.

The total cxpeusus of the Loeomotil·c Bn111eh for tl1o year I 892-3, as comparml with I 891-2, o;ho;v a tlcerease p~r train mile of '33!1., rnul a !lccrea"e JFlr cn~ine mile of '28tL The actwd difference 111 expeuditnrc, owing to wtlnc::Jtl train mileage, working ~hort time,&e., is £8;,I2o,as compare,[ with 1 I-2.

Duriug the ycnr 31 "E" cl:t"" tank engine;-;, two motors or small locomotives, ant! 6o lonncd waggon~ have been delivered by contractor~ nncl plaecd on the line, leaving a balance of se,·cntccn "E" class engines nnd iifrccn lonvrcJ waggons to l•e delivcrccl during the cnrrent year.

No con tract" for the construdi;m of new vehielcs of uny kind, excepting the motors above referred to, have been let dming the y<'ar.

I am gla,] to say that dnring the year no serious ca~nalty oecnrrcd to any of onr trains, a fact which IJears testimony to the cNre aml vigilance excrei~ed by those eonccrncd in the nmuing.

Tbc Locomothco Bmneh lnt:]niry Board, which ~~-as nppointetl by the Governor in Council in Oclobcr, 1892, to int:]uire i11to certain mattc:rs eomJeetctl with tlti'l branch, submittetl their report on the 3 I6t .Jiay, I893•

The valnable >'nggostions niHl reeommollth tiom; of the Boan1, espechtlly that referring to the more clllcient balaneing of the engines, will be attended h>.

Since the date of my appointmc>n t, 12th ,June, I have enden,vonroll to become acquainted with the working of the braueh with as little delay as possible, with n view to making all possible rednetious in expentlitnre consistent with safety and etlleicney.

I have issued striet instructions for the obEerYauce of rigid economy in the use of stores uml employment of labour.

The "·hole ol' the mcehanical work, water supplies, repairs to interlocking, &c., formerly under the control or the Engine:!r of Existing Lines, have been transfcrre<l to this branch.

One of my lir,;t official net,; was to review the or<ler for tires tmtl other ffi[ttcrial propo~c<l to hn obtnined from J;:nglnml, which t fouwl cuul•l he retlnecd in amount from £84-,ooo to less than £29,000. Certain crank axle:; whieh it had been inton.led to import h:we been omitted, as these can be made here, and thus giYe much liCO\lcd employment.

By having the \York of loatling ancl nnloa,]ing eoal, firewood, &e., at the larger depots, atHl any other suitable work, performed by contract instead of hy tlay labour i hope to effect substantial economies.

The fact that the eonsamption of coal per train mile has inercased more than so per cent. since 1882 is nndcr investigation. with a view to ascertaining if any of the increase is due to want of economy. The Coal Test 13oanl nmY sitting is, I believe, dealing with the relative merits of Victorian and Newcastle coals. I shall be glad to have their ropol't, when a proper sl;andanl of priec ean be fixed.

I find several kimls of oils, eqnrtlly c!Heient, but varying co11,<iderably in price, are w<ctl for the Fame purpose, whilst cn~tor oil is used almost univer~ally for engine lubrication. By corrceting t-hrsc anom!llie>~ and adopting a eheapcr class of oil, obtained by tender, and by the exercise of strict economy I hope to effect a large saving in thi,: item, and without loss of efficiency.

By the :jtHlicious cutting down nnd improvement of grades I am of opinion that in many cases a cousidcrablc saviug in haulage Cllll be cll'ccted, a([(l will later on cite examples, with a view to the estimated co~t of the work an,! the mnotmt of Rnvirw bein!! obtained.

The two motors ot' small lc>cmuoti~~,.,..; c~;i.,truetctl by the Pha:mix Foundry Coy. allll that made at Ne\Yport will be put, in rnnning at once. Their use tnder tho conditions proposed will no doubt effect n considerable saving in working the hmneh line.; npoa which there i~ little tmfiL:. Tlwre are SC\'eral engine~ of the "X)) class which coultl he, at little expense, a<lnpted for the nhove pmposc.

\Vhcn fnu,]s permit awl business and the extension of lines require more engines, I should recornmcn1l the Commissioner,; t<J obtain a few of the American Cone'olidation elass, of a type whieh woul(l lmvc 25 per cent-. more haulage power than the " Y" clas,; (our mo~t powerful engine) and yet run on any liuc~ iu the colony without injury except those lnitl with old so-lb. rails.

I have the honom to be, Gentlemen,

Your obedient servant,

T. H. WOODIWFFE,
