REPORT OF THE VICTORIAN RAILWAYS COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE, 1958.

VICTORIAN RAILWAYS, Commissioners' Office, Spencer Street, Melbourne, C. l. 28th October, 1958.

To the Honorable the Minister of Transport. SIR, In conformity with the provisions of Section 99 of the Railways Act, 1928 (No. 3759), we have the honor to submit our Report for the year ended 30th June, 1958.

Results of Working. Total revenue for the year from all sources amounted to £36,066,303 and working expenses to £38,351,510. Interest charges and expenses, exchange on interest payments and redemption, and contribution to the National Debt Sinking Fund amounted to £3,596,499, so that the result of operating the railways, electric tramway and road motor services under our control was a deficit of £5,881,706. More detailed financial information is given under the heading " Financial Review."

Revenue. Total revenue was £1,431,500 less than in 1956-57 due mainly to the reduced volume of wheat carried (£995,000) and loss of revenue from other general goods traffic (£515,500) which was attributable chiefly to the adoption of reduced rates to meet road competition. There was also a reduction of £258,500 in the revenue from passenger traffic (Country £225,000, Suburban £33,500). On the other hand, as a result of the long dry season, revenue from livestock traffic increased by £252,000.

Working Expenses. Compared with 1956-57, working expenses decreased by £1,005,000. The gross reduction was £1,625,500 comprising savings effected on maintenance of rolling stock and fixed facilities (£902,000); lower operating expenditure due to less goods train mileage being necessary for the reduced volume of wheat carried and the higher proportion of train mileage operated by diesel traction (£619,000); and sundry other decreases (£104,500). These savings were offset by increased expenditure amounting to £150,000 for greater cost of locomotive fuel ; £142,500 for higher salaries and wages and payroll tax; £106,500 to the Brighton and Sandringham Councils in connexion with the dis­ mantling of tramways in those municipalities; £92,000 for pensions and superannuation, and £129,500 for various other items. The heavy losses incurred during recent years can be attributed almost entirely to the community's failure to use its railway system to capacity. The extent to which this is so will be gathered from the following brief observations under the Department's three main traffic headings. 6 Country Passenger Traffic. Although country passenger journeys declined by only 119,805 by comparison with the previous year, since 1937-38 they have fallen from 5,850,581 to 5,029,988. This has occurred despite the introduction of costly air-conditioned cars on main-line and interstate trains and of improved timetables, and is undoubtedly due to the popularity of private cars-registrations of which increased from 143,015 to 556,550 in the same period. Other factors are the operations of heavily subsidized interstate air services (navigational aids, airfields, etc.) and interstate road operators. With the object of stimulating passenger traffic on country trains on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, when the traffic is lightest, day return fares were introduced on those days from 1st October, 1957. The twelve months' experience of these fares was most disappointing, particularly in view of the persistent representations which had been made by country people for lower fares. Increased traffic resulted at some stations but this was insufficient to compensate for the loss of revenue at others. In the circumstances, the experiment was discontinued on 26th September, 1958. Meanwhile, the Department must continue to meet heavy fixed charges on country passenger stock and facilities that are only partly used, and provide passenger train services to all parts of the State at a cost little below what would be involved if the payloads were at least 50% greater. Vigorous efforts will continue to be made to attract country passenger traffic by placing additional modern cars in service and steadily speeding up services, but, in the face of our experience in recent years, the prospects of making the services pay are, to say the least, not encouraging.

Suburban Passenger Traffic. Suburban passenger journeys totalled 162,631,736-376,668 more than in 1956-57. This traffic is also adversely affected by the use of private cars but the chief difficulty is the lack of patronage during off-peak periods. During the intense morning and evening peak periods, aggregating about 3 hours daily, it is necessary to operate 122 trains and even then the loading is mostly uni-directional, but off peak traffic requires only 60 trains. The balance of the trains remain idle. Drivers, Guards, Shunters and station staffs must also be augmented to handle the peaks and they cannot always be economically utilized at other times. The fact that the suburban electric system is not used to capacity needs no further elaboration.

Suburban trains idle during the off-peak period. 7

Another factor affecting suburban traffic results is the increase in the average length of the suburban journey, which in 1957-58 rose from 8·73 miles to 8·82 miles, continuing its progressive increase with the growth of population in the outer suburbs. Concurrently, however, traffic at the inner stations has declined substantially with the result that the total number of suburban journeys has remained relatively static in the last few years. The increased average length of journey has necessitated the spending of large sums of money on development of the suburban system by duplication of lines, provision of new stations, additional trains, etc., but the revenue accruing from the longer journeys has fallen far short of making good the losses of short haul traffic and meeting the heavier fixed charges and increased cost of operating the added train mileage. Increases in fares having failed to keep pace with increased costs, it is not sur­ prising that for a number of years the suburban electric system has been operated at a substantial loss-estimated at £2,500,000 in 1957-58 after making arbitrary allocations of the cost of facilities common to suburban, country passenger and goods services, e.g. tracks, signalling, stations, etc. With the object, therefore, of complying with Govern­ ment policy that this loss be reduced and one class suburban travel introduced, a new schedule of one class fares, estimated to produce additional annual revenue of £1,300,000, was brought into operation on the electrified system on 14th September, 1958.

Goods Traffic. Goods traffic is the financial mainstay of the system and it is under this heading that the failure of the community to make full use of the railway facilities available is felt most seriously. of 47% of our goods mileage, acceleration of the services and the re­ placement of some thousands of obsolete goods wagons, have, as well as producing large savings in working expenses, substantially increased the capacity of the system. This increased capacity is not being availed of because of the large volume of goods being carried by road. The situation in regard to road competition is dealt with later in this Report. Throughout the year active steps continued to be taken with an augmented staff of Commercial Agents to meet competition for goods traffic, especially in the vulnerable higher rated categories, by maintaining close contact with consignors and consignees and by offering reduced rates when it was obvious that this was the only means of retaining or regaining traffic.

These efforts were responsible for additional interstate traffic being carried, the tonnage of all goods moving by rail between and the other States increasing by 6f%. Greater inducement to use has also been offered in the form of special wagons which speed up loading and minimize the risk of damage. For example, special wagons were constructed for pulpwood and bulk cement and a prototype wagon was built for the carriage of masonite. Box wagons, designed to permit loading by mechanical means such as fork lift trucks, are also under construction. Goods tonnage carried during the year was 8,385,211 tons-550,253 tons less than in 1956-57, due mainly to the reduced volume of wheat carried. Excluding wheat, however, general goods traffic declined by only 30,306 tons, which indicates that losses to road competitors have been slowed down considerably. A record quantity of superphosphate-626,411 tons-was railed. This was 57,176 tons more than the record established in 1954~55 and 101,905 tons more than in 1956-57. . Livestock traffic was greater than in 1956~57--the tonnage carried being 506,648 tons. The increase of 61,413 tons was brought about by dry seasonal conditions.

General. Within the limits of the available funds, the rehabilitation and modernization of railway facilities was continued. Further work, mainly at stations, was carried out to complete the duplication and electrification of the main Gippsland line. Extensions were brought into use at Dynon goods terminal, where a substantial volume of goods traffic is now handled, thus mini­ mizing congestion in the Melbourne Yard and Goods Depot. Goods handling facilities were improved at many locations by the installation of modern cranes and other equipment. In the suburban area, satisfactory progress was made with the construction of the first stage of the new Richmond station, which is necessary to provide for the additional tracks planned to serve the Caulfield and Box Hill groups of lines. A new station was opened at Laburnum (between Box Hill and Black burn) and work was carried out at the sites of three other new stations. Duplication of the Eastmalvern line and the provision of duplicated sections of were completed on a number of other suburban lines.

Many works of lesser magnitude, but essential for efficient operation, were carried out. Construction of new cars and wagons continued in our workshops to the extent permitted by maintenance requirements and the available staff. New suburban trains and diesel-electric locomotives were placed in service and considerable mileages of country and suburban track were relaid to give more comfortable travel. All these improvements and additions have enabled a progressively higher standard of service to be given and maintained. Future improvements include the greater use of diesel-powered locomotives, of which 35 are on order ; improved track facilities ; increased country and suburban track relaying ; re-organization of workshops facilities and provision of additional modern country passenger cars, suburban trains and goods vehicles.

FINANCIAL REVIEW. The results of operating the railways, electric tramway and road motor services under our control were as follows :- £ s. d. REVENUE 36,066,302 17 8 ·woRKING EXPENSES 38,351,510 4 9 DEFICIT ON CURRENT OPERATIONS ... 2,285,207 7 1

DEFICIT 5,881,706 2 10

The deficit of £5,881,706 was £688,971 more than that of the previous year. This was brought about as follows :-- £ Decrease in earnings... 1,431,512 Increase in interest, etc, charges 262,594

1,694,100 Less-Decrease in working expenses 1,005,135

088,971

The revenue decrease was the result of the following variations :­ Decreases: £ £ £ Passengers-Country 225,039 Suburban 33,520 258,505 ---- Parcels, etc. 11,704 Mails 23,306 Goods 1,513,009 Tramways 39,136 ----- 1,840,380 Increases: Livestock 252,268 Rentals 39,583 Dining cars 298 Refreshment services 13,044 Advertising .. . 7,225 Bookstalls .. . 41,352 Telegraphs, power and miscellaneous 57,079 Road motors 4,019 414,808

Net decrease 1,431,512 10

The decrease in passenger revenue was mainly in the country, where the number of journeys declined by 119,805-mostly in the longer distance travellers. In the suburban area, although the journeys increased by 376,668, the revenue decreased by £33,526, due primarily to a swing from first to second class travel. The reduction of approximately £1! million in revenue from goods and livestock traffic was the net result of a loss of £1 i million on goods, offset by a gain of£! million on livestock. Of the former, £1 million was due to the substantially reduced tonnage of wheat carried and nearly £i million to the decline of ·1 pence per ton mile received for the haulage of other goods. This decline was due mainly to the continuation of the in­ tensified activities of road operators and the reductions in rates conceded to hold and regain this traffic against competition. Tramway revenue declined as a result of the closing, from 1st January, 1957, of the Brighton Beach-Park Street section of the St. Kilda-Brighton tramway and the termi­ nation of the Sandringham-Black Rock tramway from 5th November, 1956. Working expenses totalled £38,351,510-a reduction of £1,005,135 compared with the previous year. This net decrease was the result of the following factors :-

Decreases: £ Reductions effected in maintenance costs of both rolling stock and track facilities 902,000 Lower operating expenditure due to less train mileage run because of the reduced wheat traffic and the higher proportion of train mileage operated by diesel traction 619,200 Long Service Leave ... 13,100 Tramways curtailment 49,800 Non-recurring expenditure of 1956-57 41,500

1,625,600

Less Increases: Salaries and wages-mainly full year effect of August, 1957, basic wage award-and payroll tax 142,500 Payments to municipalities re tramway abandonments 106,700 Pensions and superannuation 91,800 Railway Accident and Fire Insurance Fund 35,000 Refreshment services-to earn increased revenue 27,100 Electrical Engineering Branch-mainly non-recurring energy credit in 1956-57 67,400 Increased prices for locomotive fuel (coal and oil) 150,000 620,500

Net decrease 1,005,100

Increased working expenditure brought about by award variations in the rates of salaries and wages was only ·4% of the previous year's wages bill compared with 5·2% in 1956-57, mainly as the result of the suspension of quarterly cost of living adjustments. Depreciation accrued during the year on the book value of the assets was £2,231,947. The total of cash credits into the Railway Renewals and Replacements Fund and included in the foregoing statement of results of working was, however, only £467,947 and, as renewal and replacement expenditure for the year amounted to £4,861,270, the shortage of £4,393,323 had again to be made good from loan moneys, the interest on which was borne by the Treasury. Interest and Sinking Fund charges increased by approximately £263,000. ll LOAN EXPENDITURE. The amount allotted by the Treasury for capital expenditure for the year was £7,050,000 and the amount actually expended was as follows :- £ Additions and improvements to way and works 2,232,908 Rolling stock, equipment, machinery and other works 360,291 Construction of new lines, etc. 62,843 Replacement (rehabilitation) works 4,393,323

NON-PAYING BRANCH LINES AND SERVICES. During the year, the Joint Transport Research Committee, comprising the Co­ ordinator of Transport and representatives of the Transport Regulation Board and this Department, investigated the economics of operating the section of line between Kooloo­ nong and Yungera, and as a result of its investigation, approval was given for the line to be closed on 6th August, 1957.

ST. KILDA-BRIGHTON ELECTRIC TRAMWAY. As mentioned in last year's Report, this tramway has a long history of ope­ rating losses and expenditure of about £650,000 was imminent for rehabilitation of the road-bed and track. Following agreement with the City of Brighton, legislation was passed (Act No. 5977) authorizing the dismantling of the line between Head Street and Brighton Beach and payment to the Council by this Department of the sum of £195,000 to cover the cost of restoration of the roadway. As a first stage, the tram service was discontinued between Brighton Beach and Park Street on 1st January, 1957, followed by the second and final stage between Head Street and Park Street on 1st July, 1957. Demolition of the line and road restoration is now in hand and nearing completion. Meanwhile we have continued to operate the tram on the St. Kilda station­ Head Street section but, in view of the heavy loss during 1957-58 (£49, 743) and the rapid deterioration of the track, negotiations have been entered into with the St. Kilda Council with a view to the line being dismantled and the road restored on the same basis as provided in Act No. 5977. Arrangements are also being made for an alternative service by a private bus operator. FARES AND FREIGHTS. No general alterations were made in goods or parcels tariff rates during the year. Passenger fare schedules also remained unaltered. However, with the object of stimulating country passenger travel, which has been steadily declining in recent years due to the increasing use of private motor cars, return tickets at day return fares were introduced, on trial, on 1st October, 1957, for issue on Tuesday, \Vednesday and Thursday of each week. These day return fares represent a reduction of approximately 20% on the ordinary return fares. Increased traffic resulted at some stations, but insufficient new passenger travel was attracted to offset the reduction in fares received from existing business, and the over­ all result was a loss of revenue. The day return fares were accordingly withdrawn after Thursday, 25th September, 1958. For some years, day return fares have also been on sale on the Leongatha and W onthaggi lines. These have also been unsuccessful in attracting traffic and were discontinued after 25th September. COMPETITION. Interstate : As pointed out in previous Reports, there has been no regulatory control of inter­ state movements of goods and passengers since the Privy Council decision in the Hughes­ Vale case in 1954. 12

During the year, a Court decision required interstate hauliers to pay road main­ tenance fees prescribed under State Transport Regulatory Acts. Despite this charge and the provision of improved rail services, a substantial volume of goods and passenger traffic is moving by road between capital cities and between Melbourne and interstate towns adjacent to the border, from which the traffic is returned to Victoria. This latter subterfuge is being used extensively with serious effect on State revenue. Road operators would find difficulty in competing with rail if they complied fully with industrial awards and conditions ; paid a proper charge for the heavy damage they cause to national roads ; served large and small towns, and were required to meet all the obligations of a common carrier in the same way as is done by the Railways. It is very doubtful also if their operations would be accepted with the same tolerant outlook as now if proper regard were paid to the huge cost to the community through the waste of trans­ port resources entailed by their operations.

Intrastate : Road movement of superphosphate traffic is now regulated under the provisions of the Commercial Goods Vehicles Act. It is regretted, however, that no action has yet been taken to curtail the issue of permits for movement by road of a very considerable volume of traffic, including potatoes, onions, poultry foods and firewood. These and other classes of suitable rail traffic are moving freely by road in competition with rail under " permits " which were originally intended merely to meet unusual cases or temporary demands of an urgent nature. The justification for this practice is difficult to understand, when railway facilities have been vastly improved at heavy community cost and are not being used to full capacity. In such circumstances, the cost of moving goods is paid for twice. The sender pays the road haulier and the community pays in taxation as the traffic could have been carried on existing trains at very little cost and revenue from it would have reduced the railway deficit. It is unfortunate that this fact is not more generally realized. We wish also to direct attention to the fact that the diversion of additional road­ borne traffic to rail would not only reduce rail deficits but would also have the effect of reducing the overall expenditure by the community on transport. It has been stated by some authorities that something like one-third of the national income is spent on transport in this country. In past Reports we have referred to the illogical and uneconomic provisions of the Transport Regulation Act which, regardless of the adequacy of rail transport, place little restriction on the transport operations of primary producers or on the movement of " second schedule" goods, i.e., livestock, fruit and perishable commodities generally. The unnecessary and wasteful duplication of transport as a result of these un­ restricted rights was recognised by Sir John Elliot who in 1949 recommended to the Government that : " All ' as of right ' and ' Second Schedule ' licences to be abolished ; in their place, an ' ancillary ' licence to be issued automatically to anyone con­ veying his own goods in his own vehicle to or from his recognised place of business up to 50 miles limit. A primary producer would come under this cate­ gory. Heavy fines, with a minimum of £100 for a first offence, to be inflicted on anyone abusing this right, e.g., by carrying goods of any other person. Ancil­ lary licences should be for vehicles up to 4 tons carrying capacity only." There are now 18,205 " Primary Producer " and " Second Schedule " licences- 66% more than in 1949, and unless some measures are taken to avoid economic loss resulting from competitive operations by curtailing the issue of these licences and of per­ mits, to which reference is made above, the State will continue to suffer a substantial loss of revenue, and opportunity will be lost to lessen the heavy over-capitalization of the transport industry as a whole. COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES. The staff of Commercial Agents was increased to 12 in order to give more effective coverage in soliciting business under current competitive conditions. Rail business under the forwarding agents' scheme increased substantially with the introduction, in November, 1957, of an incentive rate for the bulk loading handled by them. Under this arrangement, a lower rate is granted for loading in excess of specified minima. For the seven months the incentive rate was in operation, forwarding agents' traffic from Melbourne to increased by 59% and from Sydney to Melbourne by 49% compared with the same period the previous year. 13

A number of proposals were considered for the handling of intercapital traffic by containers and the " Piggy Back " method. Negotiations were in course regarding the use of containers 14' 5" and 21' 10'' long with capacities of 12 and 15 tons respectively between Melbourne and Sydney. The differing loading gauges of the various State railway systems prevent the general adoption of the " Piggy Back" system. However, a somewhat similar met~od, called the " Rail-a-Trailer," was successfully tried between Melbourne and Adelaide. This method was initiated by a leading Forwarding Agent who provided a semi-trailer fitted to detachable . The loaded semi-trailer is brought by p~ime mover t? the railhead where the body is lifted off the bogies by crane on to a specially fitted railway wagon and transported to its destination. At that point, the trailer is lifted from the wagon on to a set of bogies held there and taken away for delivery.

Trial "Rail·a·trailer" loading, to which representatives of interested organisations were invited.

The trial conducted bet\veen Melbourne and Adelaide indicated that the scheme was practicable and, at the close of the year, negotiations were in course to implement a regular " Rail-a-Trailer " service. To meet competition in the south-western district from road hauliers operating from Adelaide, and also from Melbourne by taking goods over the border and back again, reductions in freight contract rates were made from Melbourne to stations Dunkeld to Portland and to those on the Casterton and Coleraine lines. The competitive rates applied particularly to heavy items such as paints, galvanised iron, piping, fencing materials, etc. and the rail traffic position in the area has been stabilized. Canvasses of woolgrowers in the Southern and other areas adjacent to the -Victoria border were successful in combatting competition for the carriage of wool. Although the clip was up to 20% less than last season in some areas, the quantity railed was only 7% less than in the previous year. For some time, the amount of bulk petrol forwarded by rail had progressively declined and it \Vas clear that the traffic was being transferred to road transport, which was claimed to be cheaper. In an endeavour to regain the traffic, an incentive rating scheme was introduced from 1st January, 1958. Under this scheme, freight payments in excess of those made in 1957 will be subject to a rebate of 33-1/3%. The arrangement has been accepted by the majority of the oil companies, with consequent increase in rail traffic and revenue. 14

The prevention of claims by maintaining close liaison with rail users in regard to the packing, handling, etc. of their goods is a most important factor in fostering goodwill and obtaining business. The Senior Claims Prevention Officer now represents the De­ partment as a member of the National Packaging Association of Australasia and recently attended a discussion and study series, at which many aspects of packaging were discussed. Our representative also addressed the members and stressed the importance of adequate packaging of goods in the interests of all concerned, viz., the manufacturer, the trans­ porter, the retailer and the customer. Considerable testing has been carried out with inflatable rubber dunnage which is used to fill the void in rail wagons between various fragile loads such as concrete pipes and culverts, fibre-board containers of different sizes, and other valuable loading re­ quiring more than normal stowing precautions. These tests have proved the effective­ ness of this type of dunnage for the purpose and orders have been placed for 50 units. Orders have also been placed for two electrically operated pedestrian palletisers for the stowing of pallets of merchandise into rail wagons. These machines, in con­ junction with the modern method of handling goods on pallets, will considerably reduce loading and unloading costs and, with the " unitised " load on a pallet, the risk of damage will be reduced.

VISIT BY THE QUEEN MOTHER. During the visit of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, to Victoria from 27th February to 4th March, 1958, the Victorian Railways had the honor of providing a special train for Her Majesty to travel to on 2nd March in conjunction with the Begonia Festival. STANDARDIZATION OF RAILWAY GAUGES. In presenting his 1957/58 Budget, the Federal Treasurer announced that the Commonwealth had accepted in principle the recommendation of the " Wentworth" Commitee (referred to in our last Report) that a standard gauge (4' SY) line be con­ structed from to Melbourne, and that the Commonwealth would supply funds towards the work. 15

Subsequently the Commonwealth intimated that it was prepared to meet 70% of the cost of the work (now estimated at £10! millions), subject to the balance being shared by Victoria and New South Wales. The whole of the funds required will be advanced by the Commonwealth in the first instance, the States' proportions, plus interest, being repayable over 50 years. The New South Wales and Victorian Governments have agreed to share equally the remaining 30% of the total cost, and an agreement between the three Governments embodying these principles is in course of preparation. In the meantime, funds are being advanced by the Commonwealth to enable the work to proceed, and up till 30th June, 1958, £494,736 had been spent, the work force engaged numbering 486. Work in connexion with the construction of the additional track was commenced in the field in November, 1957, and consisted of duplication of bridges, extension of culverts and establishment of camps in the following sections :-Euroa-Balmattum, Baddaginnie-Winton, G lenrowan-Springhurst and Barnawartha-W odonga. LEASING OF AIR RIGHTS. During the year an agreement was entered into with the Victorian Employers' Federation giving the Federation the right to lease, within six months, an area over Princes Bridge station under conditions laid down in the Agreement. If completed, the lease will be for a term of 98 years and will provide for the station being lowered, without cost to the Commissioners, to permit the construction of a multi­ storey building with a frontage of 660 feet to Flinders Street and 118 feet to Swanston Street. Negotiations were also conducted with the firm of Collings-Power Pty. Ltd. in connexion with a proposal for the erection of a series of multi-storey flats over a section of the Clifton Hill line, 2,000 feet in length, extending from J olimont station to the tunnel under Wellington Parade. At the date of submission of this Report, no substantial headway had been made on this proposition.

PASSENGER TRAIN SERVICES. COUNTRY. A number of improvements were made to country passenger train services during the year, the most important of which was on the Mildura line. With the object of providing more attractive travel facilities and thus enhancing patronage, which was very poor, the passenger train service between Melbourne and Mildura was re-organized from 2nd September, 1957, to provide a daylight instead of an overnight service on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays with modern air-conditioned cars with reclining seats. This train, named the " Mildura Sunlight ", has enabled the overall time for the journey to Mildura to be reduced by 30 minutes and to Melbourne by lO minutes. Night trains were retained on Fridays and Sundays in each direction. The patronage of the daylight service, although not as good as expected, warrants a continuance of the arrangement. Other lines on which improvements were effected included Kerang-Koondrook, Korong Vale-, Hamilton-Ararat, Melbourne-Albury, Melbourne-, Wodonga-Cudgewa, Melbourne-Y arram, Melbourne-Warburton and Melbourne-Heales­ ville. On the Heathcote line, because of declining patronage and the decision of the Transport Regulation Board to permit road passenger services from N athalia and Lock­ ington to continue to operate through to Melbourne instead of co-ordinating at Heath­ cote, the number of trips was reduced from 22 to 12 per week from 2nd September, 1957. Special Traffic. The largest single excursion handled during the year was in connexion with the annual picnic of General Motors-Hoidens Ltd. at Pakenham on Sunday, 13th April, when 4,530 passengers were carried. A record for a country race meeting special train was established on lst May, when 726 passengers travelled on the special arranged by the Warrnambool Racing Club for its Annual Steeplechase and Cup Meeting. 16 Air-conditioned Passenger Cars. A " Club Car" was introduced on " The Daylight" between Melbourne and Albury on 20th May. This air-conditioned car has an observation saloon seating 26 passengers and a Club Room fitted with tables and chairs for the service of light refreshments and beverages to passengers. Eleven of the modern air-conditioned cars with reclining, rotating seats, fluorescent lighting and other up-to-date amenities are now in service on the following trains :~ " The Daylight " ;\'lelbourne-Albury " " , , " Albury Express " . . . , , " Mildura Sunlight " , -Mildura " " , - More of these cars are under construction and, as completed, they will go into service on various other lines.

On 2nd September, 1957, the reservation of sleeping berths and seats on trains, formerly allotted by the Victorian Government Tourist Bureau and the main booking offices at Spencer Street and Flinders Street stations, was centralized in a bureau estab­ lished in Head Office. By means of telephone communication with the various booking locations and modernized diagram lay-out, all reservations for interstate and Victorian travel are now co-ordinated at the Central Reservation Bureau. The heavy volume of bookings for the Christmas and Easter holiday periods following the Bureau's establishment was success­ fully handled. The Bureau is proving invaluable in handling interstate reservations to the capital cities, booking for which has been extended to six months in advance. It is also an im­ portant factor in facilitating bookings by travel agents who have been authorized to sell rail travel from lst July, 1958.

SUBURBAN. Major service improvements were introduced on the following lines with the com­ pletion of the works shown :~ Ringwood-Lilydale-Upper Fern­ Duplication of the track between tree Gully lines Croydon and Mooroolbark. Eastmalvern line Duplication of the track between Heyington-Kooyong and Gardiner-Glen Iris. Broadmeadows line ... Additional power supply. Frankston line Re-routing of trains at Caulfield. Additional peak period trips were also introduced with the delivery of a further 14 " " trains. A survey of passenger traffic on the Port Melbourne line on Mondays to Saturdays disclosed that, at certain periods of the day, the patronage was very light, averaging about 25 to 39 passengers a trip during the off-peak periods. This small volume of traffic did not justify the running of a 12 minute frequency of service, and on 2nd December, 1957, a 20 minute frequency was introduced during the off peak periods. This frequency enables the service to be run with one train, ins­ tead of two, thus effecting a substantial reduction in operating costs. Further economies were also effected by reduction of the size of additional subur­ ban trains to four cars where traffic surveys indicated that this was adequate for the patronage offering. Rail travel to the Royal Agricultural Show was 243,10~~ passengers, 16,122 more than in 1956-57. This increase reflected the greater attendance at the Show, but the percentage of passengers carried to total attendance declined from 39·2% to 39%. 511,924 passengers travelled by special train services to metropolitan Race and Night Trotting meetings compared with 533,300 passengers in the previous vear. 17

Although country rail motor mileage increased slightly, the overall country pas­ senger train mileage declined compared with 1956/57, when the mileage was higher than usual due to the running of special trains in connexion with the Olympic Games. The suburban train mileage reflects the additional services provided during the peak periods. With the substantially reduced tonnage of wheat which offered, fewer special wheat trains were required for its haulage from the country, resulting in a reduction in goods train mileage. TRAFFIC STATISTICS. The volume of paying goods traffic, i.e., excluding goods carried for departmental purposes and livestock, totalled 8,385,211 tons. This was 550,253 tons less than in 1956-57 due primarily to the lower volume of wheat carried. Excluding, for comparative purposes, the tonnage of wheat hauled, the volume of other goods hauled was 30,306 tons less than in the preceding year owing to the competitive transport conditions and a decline in trade generally. 18

Livestock traffic amounted to 506,648 tons, 13·8 per cent more than in 1956-57. The increase was of an abnormal nature, being brought about by the movement of stock for agistment in consequence of the dry seasonal conditions experienced during the year. Country passenger journeys~5,029,988-were 119,805 less than in the previous year when additional traffic was handled in connexion with the Olympic Games. The loss occurred mainly in the longer distance travel. Suburban passenger journeys showed a gratifying increase of 376,668 to 162,631, 736, although the 1956-57 figure included Olympic Games traffic. The proportion of second class travel increased, and the number of passengers travelling on second class periodical and workmen's weekly tickets increased considerably at the expense of single and return tickets.

OPERATING RESULTS. Goods and livestock ton mileage was 4·3 per cent less than in the previous year. Wheat was 71,619,969 ton miles less than in 1956/57 but this was offset to some extent by the increase in livestock, a greater amount of which was carried for a longer average distance. The net overall decrease was 57,256,437 ton miles. The following is a comparison of the relevant figures for the past three years :-

THE WHEAT HARVEST. In the 1957/58 season, the area sown with wheat was 1,834,842 acres and pro­ duction was 32,134,257 bushels-269,622 acres more and 3,147,931 bushels less than in the previous season, drought conditions causing the heavy loss of production. The average yield per acre was 17 ·51 bushels compared with 22·54 bushels in 1956/57. Wheat railed during the year totalled 20,033,388 bushels, 12,251,649 less than in the preceding year. 19

ROLLING STOCK BRANCH. A statement of the rolling stock in existence at 30th June, 1958, appears in Appen­ dix No. 12. The long established policy was continued of utilizing all available labour on rolling stock construction in our Workshops after catering for maintenance requirements, and the assistance of private contractors was sought only in those instances where the degree of urgency and insufficiency of suitable labour resources rendered that action necessary. New rolling stock constructed in our Workshops during the year was as follows : Number completed Air-conditioned country passenger cars 7 ' HY ' class open goods wagons 189 ' U ' class box louvre wagons 114 ' BP ' class box wagons 2 ' B ' class box wagons 1 ' CJ ' class bulk cement wagons 9 ' I C ' class brown coal wagons 2 ' KT ' class pulpwood traffic wagons 4 ' KM ' class masonite traffic wagons 1 Liquid fuel tank wagons ll Water tank wagons 9 Service vehicles 102 20

A ·•BP" class box wagon.

Diesel-powered Locomotives. The operating performance of diesel-electric locomotives and economies achieved emphasize the soundness of the policy of replacing steam locomotives, as they become worn-out, with diesel-powered units. Accordingly, lO new 1,800 h.p. diesel-electric locomotives were acquired and placed in main line service during the year under review. In addition, an order was placed for twenty-five 600 h.p. diesel-hydraulic shunting locomotives which can also be utilized for suburban goods services, main line transfers and livestock movements to and from the main marshalling yards. Tenders were also under consideration for the supply of lO diesel-electric loco­ motives in the 900-1000 h.p. range for both main and branch line operations.

Country Passenger Cars. An additional 7 air-conditioned saloon type cars were constructed in our Work­ shops during the year. These have all the latest amenities for passenger comfort and convenience. Construction of an additional 15 cars of this type is in hand.

Suburban Electric Trains. Of the old type suburban cars in service, 65% are over 40 years old and they must be replaced within the next few years. The present order for 30 new " Harris " type suburban trains, of which 26 were received at 30th June last, is the commencement of a replacement programme to modern­ ize the suburban car stock and tenders for the supply of a further 30 trains of this type were under consideration at the close of the year. It is intended that only such portions of the work that cannot be carried out in the railway workshops will be let to private contractors.

Goods Wagons. Numbers of various types of wagons were constructed in our Workshops during the year. To permit of certain classes of goods wagons being hauled at passenger train speeds, and thus enable faster service to be provided, they have been equipped with cast steel bogies. 21

A number of wagons of a specialized design have been constructed for the carriage of specific goods such as cement in bulk. This practice, where the volume of traffic offering renders it economical, is an important factor in meeting competition.

Bulk cement being discharged. Workshops and Equipment. Further progress was made with the programme of Workshops reorganization. At , the new car and wagon wheel centre was brought into operation, relieving congestion in the machine shops and assisting in the more efficient processing of wheels. Foundry plant was modernized with new casting dressing equip­ ment and considerable progress was made with the mechanization of sand conditioning and coremaking. Carbon dioxide mould treatment was also introduced. Steel-working equipment, including a 200 tons power press and a universal plate cutting machine, was added to the Steel Construction Shop. The Tool Room was extended, plant re-disposed and a number of new tool­ grinding machines vvere purchased in order to keep pace with modern tool demands. Timber handling, sorting and storing 'vere rationalized and considerable savings in labour were achieved by the reorganization of the division and the use of fork lift trucks. Handling and lifting equipment was improved by the provision of three new overhead cranes and electric hoists at a number of locations. Electric car lifting jacks were installed at the North Melbourne \Vorkshops. At Ballarat and Workshops, good progress was made with the conversion of the electrical equipment from direct to alternating current. A dynamic balancing machine was installed at to enable traction motor armatures to be properly balanced. WAY AND WORKS BRANCH. The work of the Branch, in addition to being limited by the available funds, was hampered by the shortage of qualified professional staff, the number of resignations and retirements again exceeding recruitments of staff. To alleviate the position on a long term basis, a further number of students >vas engaged for full time training at the University and technical schools, but it will be some years before the total of 26 students in training complete their courses and gain the necessary experience in railway work. 22

Material supplies were sufficient for requirements. Sleeper supplies improved considerably in number and also in quality as a greater percentage was of the more dur­ able species of timber. The total number purchased was 791,455, excluding those for the Railway Construction Branch and other authorities. A new flash butt welding machine was put into use at the Spotswood Butt \Velding Depot. The old machine is being reconditioned and, when replaced in operation, the two units will provide adequate capacity for rail welding requirements. Major relaying work on country lines is now being carried out by two mechanized relaying gangs, the second gang being organized during the year to relay with serviceable rails released by the first gang. The old rails are cropped to remove the end batter and are then welded into 90 ft. lengths. A total of 113 miles of track was relaid during the year, of which 23 miles were in the suburban area. In the country, 51 miles were relaid on the north-western line by No. 1 mechanized gang, 23 miles on the Goulburn Valley line by No. 2 gang with serviceable rail and the balance at various other locations. The work of ordinary track maintenance and relaying consumed 190,000 cubic yards of ballast, 702,000 sleepers and 17,500 tons of rail. In addition to relaying, the co-ordinated programme of renewals of points and crossings continued, 203 sets of points and 263 crossings being renewed during the year. Drainage of cuttings and tracks was given a high priority in the work of mainten­ ance, and three Gradall multi-purpose excavators are being used full time on this im­ portant work.

A Gradall excavator. Three miles of new track were laid on the Gippsland line and 3! miles in the suburban area. Private sidings were constructed at North Geelong, Ballarat, Murchison East, Brooklyn and Deniliquin, and existing sidings were extended at Bairnsdale, Geelong and Brooklyn. Other works of a general improvement and maintenance nature were carried out within the limits of available staff. These included re-arrangement of the locomotive facilities at , paving of working areas at North Melbourne Workshops, alter­ ations and additions to the Outward Parcels Office at Spencer Street station, and re­ arrangement of station buildings and yards to provide better working facilities. Seventeen new houses were erected to accommodate staff at various locations. 23 To further modernize the equipment and extend mechanization of the work done by the Branch, considerable new plant and equipment were purchased including tamping machines, excavators, ballast routers, rail saws, tie tampers, spike pullers, etc.

Regrading, Duplication and Electrification of the Gippsland line. New station buildings with island platforms and new ' down ' tracks for double line working were completed at Pakenham and Drouin, and colour light signalling was being installed. At Nar Nar Goon, the station buildings were rearranged, the platform converted to an island one and duplication completed through the station. Trackwork alterations in the station yards at Yarragon and Trafalgar were com­ pleted and double line working, with colour light signalling, was brought into operation. A pedestrian subway was provided at Tynong and a footbridge at Longwarry. At Moe, a new goods shed, platform, paved goods loading area and approaches were constructed.

Duplication of Suburban Lines. The programme of works designed to improve suburban services was continued, the position in respect of each being as follows :

Melbourne-South Yarra : Further progress was made with the new station and bridges at Richmond to cater for the proposed additional tracks on the Camberwell and Caulfield lines. The bridge at Punt Road, the subway at the western end to give direct access to the sports grounds, and the interchange subway were advanced as far as possible until the existing facilities are dismantled. The main subway, which will give access from Swan Street on one side of the station to Stewart Street on the other, was in use for football traffic. Two platforms, together with verandahs, were practically completed. The driving of steel rail piles and concreting of caps for the new station buildings were com­ menced and a contract let for the erection of the buildings.

New platforms at Richmond station. 24

Abutments for the Swan Street bridge were completed for the first four tracks on the south side, and the two high tensile steel truss bridges were erected on temporary falsework preparatory to lowering tbem on to the bearings on the imposts. It is expected that the first stage of the work will be brought into operation to­ wards the close of the current year.

Heyington-Eastmalvern : Double line working was brought into operation between Heyington and Kooyong and Gardiner and Glen Iris, thus completing the duplication of the line. At Kooyong, a new station building with platforms was constructed, and a pedes­ trian subway was provided at Elizabeth Street to replace the . Automatic signalling on the line was completed.

Eastmalvern-Glen Waverley : Platelaying for the long crossing loop between Syndal and lVIount Waverley was completed, and signalling (centralized traffic control) was being installed. Pedestrian subways were provided at Mount \Vaverley and Jordanville.

Hawthorn-East Camberwell: In connexion with the provision of a third track, signalled for two-way running, the substructures of bridges at Albert Street and Auburn Road were extended and work at other locations put in hand.

Camberwell-Ashburton : Work on construction of the flyover bridge and retaining walls to carry the ' down ' Ashburton line over the existing main lines and the new third track was recommenced, having been delayed through lack of funds. One abutment and two piers of the bridge were completed and the remaining pier and abutment, together with the retaining walls, were under construction.

Ringwood-Lilydale: Duplication of the line between Croydon and Mooroolbark was completed.

Heidelberg--Eltham : Platelaying work for the duplication of the line between the ' down ' end of the Heidelberg tunnel and lVIacleod and the construction of new station buildings and plat­ form at Rosanna was commenced.

New Suburban Stations.

A new station constructed at Laburnum, between Box Hill and Blackburn, was opened for traffic on 13th July, 1958. Work on the new station at Heatherdale (between Mitcham and Ringwood) was well advanced, and a commencement was made with the construction of J acana (between Glenroy and Broadmeadows). A retaining wall was erected and drainage diverted to enable filling to be placed in connexion with the new station to be provided at Patterson (between Bentleigh and Moorabbin). Further work has been deferred, however, as, with the grade separation project in course at Moorabbin, an additional work point, involving speed restrictions on passing trains, would adversely affect timekeeping. 25 Car Parking Facilities at Suburban Stations. Additional car parks for the use of patrons were provided at Lower Fern tree Gully, Clayton, Glen vVaverley, Hampton, Greensborough, Ringwood and Middle Brighton.

Dynon Goods Terminal. Development of the terminal proceeded. The new shed on the south side was opened for limited use and its completion was in progress.

New shed at Dynon.

Appleton Dock. Rail connexion has been made to the Appleton Dock sidings in the Melbourne Harbor Trust area, and an additional siding was provided on Harbor Trust property.

Grade Separation. An overline bridge at Frankston Road, Dandenong, was completed. Only half the road width was available at the close of the year, and filling was being placed to enable the full road 'vidth to be opened. Work in connexion with the elimination of the level crossing at Napier Street, Footscray, was well in hand. The bridge to carry rail traffic over the roadway was com­ pleted, with the exception of the wing walls. Rail traffic has been diverted back to the original alignment over the bridge and excavation to lower the road level was in course. Good progress was made with the project to eliminate the level crossings at N epean Highway and South Road, Moorabbin. This work involves lowering the rail track approximately 18 feet. Temporary deviations of the track, necessitating the provision of temporary station buildings, together with deviations of the two roads to enable work to proceed without interference from road traffic, were completed. The substructures of the bridges at both intersections were well advanced and some of the steelwork for the superstructure at Nepean Highway was in position. The main excavation for the lowering of the tracks was commenced. At Heidelberg Road, Clifton Hill. the grade separation project was completed by the Country Roads Board and is in full use. Planning for grade separation at the Melbourne Road level crossing, Newport, was in hand. In connexion with the widening of the Princes Highway to Geelong, the Country Roads Board is constructing a bridge over the railway at Corio to replace the level crossing. This Department is co-operating with the Board in the work. 26 Cranes. Eight cranes at various locations were fitted with electric hoisting units and a new gantry crane was put into service at Orbost to facilitate goods handling. Gantry cranes for departmental purposes were erected at Newport Workshops, at Geelong for the handling of coal and at the Reclamation Depot, Spotswood.

Level Crossing Protection. Automatic boom barriers were installed at the level crossings at Elgar Road, Box Hill, and Heatherdale Road, Ringwood, and another installation was in hand at lVIiddleborough Road, Box Hill. Boom barriers were also provided at the N epean High­ ;vay level crossing, Moorabbin, as a temporary measure while the grade separation work 1s m course. Flashing light signals were erected at crossings at Croydon, Glenrowan, Yarragon and Trafalgar. The programme of replacing existing level crossing signs with standard reftector­ ised signs was continued. Two level crossings were closed during the year, viz., at 136 m. 40 c. near Amphi­ theatre and at Greta Road, Glenrowan, in addition to those replaced by grade separation.

Corio Quay Area. Further progress was made with the track re-arrangement to provide rail service to the new Corio Quay, the wheat terminal and adjacent industrial establishments. The new connexion between North Geelong Goods Yard and the Quay was completed. This included construction of a bridge to carry the main line over the connecting track and another bridge to carry the Princes Highway over the quay connexion and the loop connecting the Geelong and Ballarat lines which is to be relocated.

Dismantling of Closed Lines. The following lines, the dismantling of which had previously been authorized by Parliament, were taken up or sold for removal : Korumburra-Jumbunna. Newstead-Moolort. Redesdale J unction--Redesdale. Beechworth-Yackandandah. In addition, the Newtown-Cressy and lVIaffra-Briagolong lines were being dismantled. Under the authority of the dismantling legislation, much of the land on which the lines were located has been sold to public authorities and adjacent landowners.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING BRANCH. Further progress was made with the replacement of obsolete 25 cycle rotary converter substations with modern 50 cycle equipment, together with the provision of ad­ ditional substation capacity. Continued progress was made with the conversion to 50 cycle power supply at metropolitan offices, workshops and yards. New substations were placed in operation at Newport and Jolimont Workshops and Dynon Goods Depot. Switchrooms at Melb­ ourne Yard and North Melbourne Workshops were in the course of construction, and planning for the distribution of power in other areas was in hand. New substations were commissioned at Lilydale and Ashburton. To give improved protection to the overhead equipment, new tie-stations were placed in operation at Bayswater, Croydon and Eastmalvern. Additional suburban electric motor coaches were fitted with single pan type panto­ graphs replacing the double pan units on the older cars. At the close of the year, 64 motor coaches had been so .equipped. 27 STORES BRANCH. The value of stocks at 30th June, 1958, was £5,141,652-an increase of £419,376 over the previous year. Issues and sales from stock totalled £16,306,879, an increase of £101,229, while the stock turnover was 2·99 compared with 3·17 in 1956/57. The results of the Reclamation Depot, Spotswood, showed continued improve­ ment, the value of material reclaimed for railway use and sale being £519,687-£45,326 more than in the preceding year. · Supplies of wooden sleepers were greater than last year, 813,506 being received. Of this quantity, 22,051 sleepers were sold to other authorities. Coal. The quantity of coal consumed during the year was 142,120 tons. This com­ prised 141,651 tons of large coal and 469 tons of small coal, the total cost being £926,744. The average costs were £6/10/7 and £4/7/5 per ton respectively, compared with £6/5/10 and £5/8/2 per ton in the previous year.

Consumption of furnace oil was 30,715 tons, equal to 7,397,401 gallons, a decrease of 12,569 tons compared with 1956/57. The total cost was £374,471 and the average price was £12/3/10, an increase of £1/12/6 per ton compared with the previous year. Diesel Fuel. The quantity of diesel fuel oil consumed in diesel-electric locomotives and rail motors was 26,749 tons (7,201,558 gallons) compared with 23,145 tons (6,110,362 gallons) in 1956/57. The total cost was £533,708 and the average price was £19/19/1 per ton, an increase of £2/9/2 per ton compared with the previous year.

REFRESHMENT SERVICES BRANCH. The revenue from the activities of the Branch was £1,927,162-£61,919 more than in 1956/57. The bulk of the increase was derived from the fruit, confectionery, drink and book stalls in the Flinders Street-Princes Bridge area. The extended trading hours introduced at all stalls in the preceding year, the popularity of the snack bars and a full year's trading at the Flower Stall at Flinders Street station were the main factors leading to the increased revenue. Advertising revenue showed a satisfactory increase compared with last year. Revenue from country refreshment rooms and dining, buffet and restaurant cars remained practically the same as in the previous year, but alterations and economies im­ proved the financial trading results by at least £16,500. 28

. A mobile trolley service,. to p;,ovide light refreshments to passengers in their seats, wa~ n;.troduc.ed on " The Dayhght between. ~.elbourne and Albury on days when the tram ts heavtly booked and the buffet car facthttes may be overtaxed. The innovation has proved popular with passengers.

Mobile Refreshment Service on "The Daylight".

The Lounge Car on " The Daylight " was redesigned and is now used as a Club Car, where all passengers on the train may avail themselves of the refreshment facilities provided. Although the drink vending and shoe shine machines on suburban stations pro­ duced less revenue than in 1956/57, the results were very satisfactory. A number of sites on suburban stations were let to a vending machine operator and the revenue re­ ceived has justified extending the arrangement to additional stations. Despite a very poor snow season, The Chalet, Mt. Buffalo, was well patronized, the average daily number of guests being 137-a decrease of 6 compared with the previous year. Amenities for guests were improved by the introduction of croquet and clock golf, while the standard of accommodation was enhanced as all beds have now been fitted with inner spring or sponge rubber mattresses.

INDUSTRIAL A WARDS. The Federal basic wage determined by the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission remained at 42/6d. per day until lst June, 1958, when it was increased by order of the Commission to 43/4:d. per day. During the whole year the Department continued to pay the basic wage of 43/10d. per day which has operated, by direction of the Government, since August, 1956. The additional wages cost occasioned by payment of the higher rate was approximately £631,000 for the financial year. No general claims for increases in margins or major variations in conditions of employment were pressed by the Unions and variations of awards made by the Con­ ciliation and Arbitration Commission were in the nature of corrections of anomalies in existing awards. The estimated additional cost of these variations for the financial year was £31,000. The average annual payment, including overtime and penalty payments, to all officers and employes, including juniors, was £957 compared with £963 in 1956-57. 29 STAFF. Work on rail standardization between Albury and Melbourne, which commenced in November, 1957, enabled men who were being released from other capital works to be re-employed or transferred to this project. They are mostly single men in non-artisan grades and the progressively increasing requirements for this project are being met with­ out difficulty. The staff position was generally satisfactory and recruitment easier, although difficulty is still experienced in recruiting sufficient professional staff for the Civil and Electrical Branches, and in overcoming shortages in certain sections of the Traffic Branch where specialized railway qualifications are required. Efforts were continued to encourage staff to obtain safeworking certificates by the payment of bonuses but it was necessary to also conduct full-time safeworking classes. During the year, 197 apprentices were appointed to 18 trades, the candidates being generally of a higher standard than those offering several years ago. At the close of the year, the staff (including casual labour equivalent to 359 men working full time) totalled 29,6(59 compared with 30,535 at 30th June, 1957. Of that number, 486 employes were engaged on the rail standardization project. PUBLIC RELATIONS. As departmental activities, concerning so many members of the public, have considerable news value, the Public Relations and Betterment Board kept a continual flow of information, articles and photographs moving to metropolitan, suburban, country and interstate ne-vvspapers, Victorian radio and local and interstate T.V. stations, news reels, and Australian and overseas magazines, as well as supplying material for school projects and to other interested members of the public. Help was given to fashion photo­ graphers and window display men to create railway travel atmosphere in their work. The railway staff was kept abreast of works and progress through the monthly News Letter, which has attracted a healthy public subscription list. Advertising was continued through pamphlet, poster, press, radio and drive-in theatre screen slide media to emphasize the comparative disadvantages of travelling by car instead of by train.

Examples of Railway Publicity.

Establishment of a regular railway display with an advisory service by Commercial Agents at the Royal Show proved successful in providing accurate and helpful information to inquirers, telling the railway story and allowing the public to sample the latest seating comfort provided in carriage stock. The exhibit was repeated at the Second Australian 30

Industries Fair, Melbourne, the Motor Show and Industries Fair, Geelong, and at Horsham. An exhibition, prior to inauguration of the " Mildura Sunlight " service, of the new " S " class diesel- and saloon type cars at Spencer Street station, attracted 3,000 visitors in four hours. Opportunities for railway careers were stressed in an exhibit at Swinburne Technical College during Education Week. The Department's 1/3rd scale diesel-electric model was displayed at Adelaide's Royal Show. To widen appreciation of the attractions of rail travel, souvenir pamphlets de­ tailing places of interest on the journey are provided for passengers on the " Spirit of Progress," " The Daylight," " Mildura Sunlight," and Easter " Adelaide Daylight." VICTORIAN GOVERNMENT TOURIST BUREAU. Revenue for all offices, including two interstate and four country branches, was £1,494,984-an increase of £2,351 over 1956-57. The total revenue was divided between rail travel-£942,003-and other activities, including road, air and sea travel and accommodation bookings-£552,981. Revenue at the Melbourne office was £1,181,322, a decrease of £20,235. A feature of the Bureau's revenue is the continuing increase in the amount of commission earned from sales of non-rail services. The wide variety of the Bureau's services indicates the Department's policy of giving the maximum amount of assistance to the travelling public, and consequently promoting good public relations as well as encouraging circulation of the large sums of money spent by tourists and other visitors. This is in the general interest of the State as a whole. Suggestions. The steady flow of suggestions from the staff and the public throughout the year testified to their interest and active co-operation with the administration. These suggestions helped save time, money and materials, reduced costs and in­ creased revenue. Other worthwhile ideas brought intangible benefits, such as greater safety, improved working conditions, better housekeeping and improved service. Seven hundred and fifteen suggestions were received. Of these eighty-one were adopted and cash awards, totalling more than £500, were paid to the suggestors.

Victorian National Resources Tours. The 51st tour of the" Reso" train to the Wimmera and Western districts in the Spring was fully booked and very successful. " Reso " also made a further advance this year when a representative Victorian party visited New Zealand and inspected the primary and secondary industries and scenic attractions of the North and South Islands. The pattern set by " Reso " was followed by Macleod High School, which charter­ ed a special" Train of Knowledge" for 200 pupils to make a six day tour through West­ ern and Northern Victoria. FIRST-AID WORK. Sustained interest was shown by members of the staff in first-aid activities. The number who qualified during the year for First Year Certificates (329) and the total number now qualified in first-aid (8,688) are both greater than in 1956--57. The latter figure included 587 holders of the 8th year Gold Life Membership Medal and 979 who hold the 5th year Silver Efficiency Medal. Annual competitions were again keenly contested, attracting 40 teams involving 154 individuals. The Australian Railways Ambulance Competition was held in South Australia in November, 1957, and was won by the Victorian Railways team.

VICTORIAN RAILWAYS INSTITUTE. Membership of the Institute continued to increase, the number of members at the close of the year being 16,357--64 more than in 1956-57. Classes in railway subjects, as well as in typewriting, shorthand and accountancy, were again well attended, enrolments numbering 3,425. The general examination results were very satisfactory. Over 9,000 new books were added to the library to cater for the needs of the 11,000 borrowers. 31

Institute facilities in the country were expanded further by the completion of a building for the Centre at Serviceton and considerable extensions to the Centre at Colac. A new building at Hamilton and a new Centre at Sale were under construction. In addition, extensive renovations were carried out to the Institute premises in the Flinders Street station buildings. Good support continued to be given to the wide range of social and recreational activities available to members.

STATE COAL MINE. The quantity of coal raised during the year was 98,481 tons. After providing for miners' household coal, mine consumption, allowances and waste, the output avail­ able for sale was 81,603 tons. The whole of this, with the exception of ll,099 tons sold to the public, was supplied to the Railways. Of that quantity, 34,175 tons of small coal were used by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria at the . After payment of working expenses, loan redemption and interest charges, and allowing £24,975 for depreciation, the operation of the Mine resulted in a loss of £308,014. The amount paid in wages was £583,424, the net average contract earnings being 94s. 1·l4d. per shift, compared with 92s. 10·65d. in the previous year.

VISITS ABROAD. On 12th August, 1957, Mr. E. D. Connor, Engineer of Tests, left Australia to investigate the latest railway techniques in scientific, operating and maintenance fields in Europe, Canada and America. While in England, he also carried out, in conjunction with representatives of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria, an investigation into matters associated with the inspection of materials and engineering components manu­ factured in England for the Victorian Railways and other Government undertakings. Mr. Connor returned on lOth December. Mr. S. F. Keane, now Superintendent of Locomotive Maintenance, left on 21st August, 1957, for America, where he investigated the latest developments in diesel traction and maintenance. Mr. Keane returned on lOth December. · The information obtained by these officers will be of substantial benefit to the Department. Mr. M. ]. Harkins, Manager, Victorian Government Tourist Bureau, was invited by Qantas Empire Airways Ltd. to be the Company's guest on one of the inaugural flights of its round-the-world service. With the co-operation of the Company, Mr. Harkins' stay in Europe was extended to enable him to acquaint himself with tourist activities in the United Kingdom and on the Continent. Mr. Harkins left Melbourne on 14th January, 1958, and returned on llth March.

CHANGES IN PERSONNEL. The Deputy Chairman, Mr. 0. G. Meyer, resigned on 31st March, 1958, to take up an appointment in private business. We wish to place on record our appreciation of the assistance and co-operation always displayed by our colleague. Mr. Commissioner Quail was appointed Deputy Chairman, and Mr. G. F. W. Brown, Chief Mechanical Engineer, was appointed Commissioner, from 1st April, 1958. Mr. W. 0. Galletly, Assistant Chief Mechanical Engineer, was appointed Chief Mechanical Engineer in place of Mr. Brown.
