VICTORIAN RAILWAYS, 31st August, 1898.
To the Honomble the Ministe1· cif Railways. SIR, In accordance with the provisions of the 59th section of the Railways Act, No. I I 3 5, I have the honour to submit for the information of Parliament the Annual Report upon the working of the Railway Department for the year ending 3oth June, I 898.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURE. The capital expenditure at 3oth June, I 898, amounted increase for the year of £272,902, charged as follows: Construction of new lines and surveys £I2,551 Capital works on existing lines, &c. I77,5I2 Rolling-stock ... 82,839
LoAN AccouNT. The amount of borrowed capital was, on the 3oth June last, £36,663,I 87, details of which are shown in the Appendix, Return No. 11. The interest for the year amounted to £r,427,o57, and the amount paid by the Treasury for expenses in payment of interest was £21,742. Credit has been taken for £I r,53o, being 2 per cent. on the unexpended balances of loan moneys raised for Railway purposes. The net amount debited to the Railway Account is, therefore, £I,437,269. On the total loan moneys expended the net revenue paid 2'71 per cent., ai~d, exclusive of pensions and gratuities, 2 '93 per cent. The average rate of interest payable on the borrowed capital allocated to railways is 3'95 per cent.
REVENUE. The total revenue amounted to £2,6o8,896, being £7,038 less than last year's receipts. The decrease is principally accounted for by the falling-off in live stock receipts, which are £r 7,708 below the amount received from that source last year. The passenger revenue is £3,396 less. There was, however, an increase of £17,495 in the goods, mails and miscellaneous receipts. Had it not been for the exceptional traffic occasioned by the Jubilee celebra tions last year, which added at least £I s,ooo to the receipts, the ordinary revenue this year would have been in excess of the corresponding period, notwithstanding the continued drought and another harvest failure. The bush fires and the severe storm which swept over portion of the colony were factors which also severely affected the railway revenue. 4
,, ~ The revenue for 1896-7 was £214,543 in excess of that for 189 5-6, and as the J.leeeipts for the year just closed are practically equal to the corresponding period, it is hoped that the revenue of the Department has permanently improved.
I stateil in my Heport last year that the Department was on the "up grade" ; and, although owing to continued :ulvert>e conditions, the revenue estimates have not been fttlly realized, there is abundant reason to anticipate a considerable development of traffic.
The following comparative table shows the enormous drop in revenue which has taken place since I 890-9 I :- Year. Gross Receipts. 1890-91 ... £3,298,567 1891-2 ...... 3,095,122 1892-3 2,925,948 1893-4 2,726,159 1894-5 2,581,591 I895-6 2,401,392 1896-7 2,6 1 5,935 1897-8 2,6o8,896
The circumstances of the past four or five years have been altogether abnormal, and it is not too sanguine to expect that, given some of the favorable conditions which prevailed when the gross receipts were considerably over Three millions sterling per annum, the rnilway revenue may be confidently expected to approximate more closely to the income received during the years prior to the depression.
WORKING ExPENDITURE. The total working expenditure for the year was £1,646,o54, or an increase of £82,249 over the preceding year.
A large proportion of the increased expenditure is due to concessions granted to employes, consisting of increases of pay to the lower paid employes under the new classification (£28,522), and the cessation of certain percentage deductions (£37,790). As will he seen from the appended reports, a considerable inerease of expenditure on maintenance and renewals of way, works, and rolling-stock has been necessary, inclusive of the exceptional charges owing to hush fires, storm, and drought. In order, however, to keep the expenditure as low as possible only such works have been done as were essential in the interests of safet)r and efficiency.

CoNDITioN oF LrNEs AND STocK. There has been no additional mileage opened for traffic during the year. The line from Dunkeld to Penshurst (I 6! miles) which was closed for traffic in I 89 I has now been dismantled, and, as the cost of construction is included in the capital account, the interest (about £2,ooo per annum) will remain as a perpetual debit to this Department. During the year I have again inspected the whole of the lines in the colony, and found them in good working order. I drew attention in my last report to the fact that before long considerable further expenditure would have to be incurred in renewals and maintenance of station buildings, and in additions and alterations to the rolling-stock. The additional rolling-stock is absolutely necessary, and some of the proposed · works are very urgently required, in order to cope with the current business of the Department, and to provide for the development of traffic. To meet these require ments the working votes of the Department have been, and \Yill for some time continue to be, largely increased, in addition to the amount requisite on capital account. It is recognised that there is a limit to the life of certain rail way works and stock, and that, although extensive repairs may be effected year by year, and the railway lines thereby maintained in a serviceable and safe condition, a time must inevitably come when extraordinary expenditure on renewals and replacements will be absolutely necessary. This is especially the case when the condition of the public finnnces or other State exigencies are factors which govern the amount available from time to time for the purpose. Obsolete types of rolling-stock have to be discarded and replaced in the interests of efficiency and safety, and in order to satis~y modern requirements. 7
To meet such contingencies provision is made in some private' raihv~y companies by the establishment of a Reserve Fund, so that, to equalize dividends and in justice to the management and shareholders, no particular year's working cost should have to bear extraordinary charges on depreciation account. No such scheme has been adopted by the State, and as a large expenditure must now be incurred on renewals and improvements to the lines and to provide for the development of traffic which may he confidently anticipated, it is necessary to make special financial provision. The work of relaying the lines with heavier rails is being proceeded with. It has been found absolutely essential, in order to carry with safety the fast and heavy traffic on the main lines, to substitute steel rails, 8o lbs. to the yard, for the 66-lb. steel rails with which some of the important lines were originally laid. Parliament has been asked to provide the funds for relaying 18 5 miles. The rails taken up are not nearly worn out, and can be utilized for renewals on some of the light branch lines, or on such new light lines as may be authorized by Parliament. The State should, however, profit by this experience, and care should be taken, in authorizing the construction of new lines upon which there is a prospect of heavy raffic, to provide at the outset fo1· laying way of sufficient strength to meet probable irequirements. The ultimate saving in maintenance and renewals will more than compensate for the extra initial cost involved. A detailed statement of the expenditure incurred on maintenance account is shown in the report of the Engineer for Existing Lines (Appendix No. 2 ), and the additions to the way and works, and the many general improvements and facilities for the despatch of business which have been effected during the year are referred to at length and appear in the accompanying Schedule. Many minor works (involving in the aggregate a considerable sum), although fairly chargeable to capital, have been debited during the year to working expenditure. The practice followed, when the allocation of the cost of a work is doubtful, is to debit the working vote.
HoLLING·STOCK. Considerable progress has been made during the year with the construction of new rolling-stock. A complete train of corridor cars, including van, has been placed on the Sydney express service, and has given great satisH:tction. It is anticipated that in a few months' time all the main line trains will be similarly equipped, thus affording facilities which will doubtless tend to the development of business and at the same time give long-road travellers the conveniences so requisite for their comfort. Additions are being made to the waggon stock, and extensive repairs and renewals have been effected in order to provide for the requirements of the traffic. In my last Report I drew attention to the fact that the Department has to bear a heavy burden of interest on the cost of stock not now in existence. The instructions which were issued relative to the breaking up of the stock have been rigorously adhered to, and the standard shown in the register has been maintained. A careful check has been established ; and the return of rolling-stock, which is published in the Appendix, shows the actual stock in existence. 8
The deficiency in stock, and the fact that a far larger number of vehicles are now coming in for repairs and renewals than was expected when I took office, has necessitated a large expenditure on rolling-stock account. Every effort is now being put forth to meet requirements, and to make the equipment of the lines more complete, in view of the prospects of a more propitious harvest. Parliamentary authority is being sought for funds to provide the following : To complete corridor cars with lavatories and all modern conveniences. Towards equipment of vehicles with \Vestinghouse brakes. To\vards providing roo second-class or composite bogie cars for long-distance branch lines, as required, to suit modern requirement~, and to replnce older stock to be used for holiday traffic and unimportant branch liues. To provide so steel tank tmcks, each 2,ooo gallons capacity. Towards providing IO heavy express engines and I 5 heavy goods engines.
Towards providing 350 steel medium waggons and I 50 louvred waggons. A detailed report from the Chief ...VIechanical Engineer, shmving the work com pleted and in progress, will he found in the Appendix.
TRAIN MILEAGE. The train miles run during the year were 9,239,6 57, being an mcrease of 10,970 miles. Continuous requests haYe been made for increased train service in almost every part of the colony, but, as the traffic did not develop as 1-vas anticipated, I have not seen my way to accede to these applications except in a few minor instances.
NoN-PAYING LINES. One of the most serious difficulties with which the administration has to contend is the fact that the Department has a large number of branch lines constructed at a heavy capital cost expensive to work and maintain, and, under existing conditions, necessarily unremunerative in character. It will be seen from the accompanying return (Appendix No. 24), ''vhich shows in detail the approximate loss on certain lines for the year 1895-6 compared with I 896-7, that an improvement in the net result of working has taken place. Every effort is being made to bring the working expenses down to the lowest limit compatible with safety, and ·with the requirements of the traffic. The train service has been curtailed when such curtail ment has lessened loss and has not been likely to materially diminish revenue. The interest charges are a fixed factor, and remain a perpetual charge, as in the case of the Dunkeld line, even after the line is closed and dismantled. Such a drastic remedy as closing the lines cannot, however, be entertained, except in very exceptional cases, and all that the administration can do is to use every effort to increase the traffic and to minimize loss. It must be borne in mind that as the lines become older the mainten ance cost increases. The had seasons have materially retarded the development of traffic, but there is no doubt that with a return to better harvest conditions, and an inc1·ease of settlement in the localities served, many of the lines lrhich are now non-paying will yield a net result sufficient to cover, not only their workiug expenditure, but in addition something towards the interest on their capital cost. It is certain, however, that, taking into consideration the existing con'ditions in the colonv• l under no circumstances could. some of the lines be "WOrked. at a profit.
The revenue~ credited. to the lines mi()'ht0 he auO'mented0 by~ suhsi(]ies or hv• s11ecial legislation probably involving the taxation of the property-hoMers in the districts served, and. for ·whose benetit mil way lines have hecn made and nmiutaiued in the place of main roads. The non-paying lines are an ''object-le~son" which should he kept promi nently in the toreoTound CS}Jeciallv in view of the coutem]1lated authorization V ,.., ' • of a number of additional railwavs.,; It maY,• I think, be safelv
48 £473,460
The interest, amounting to about £191ooo per annum, on this unproductive capital is debited to the Railway Department.
J\IAI.LEE LINES. Owing to the tlrought the lines in the 3Iallee districts have suffered more severely than those in any other part of the colony. There has been a decrease on every line, with the exception of that from Wycheproof to Sea, Lake, itml the increase on that line is due to the large amount received for carriage of water. The success of these lines seems, however, to he assured ; there is a steady deve_lopment in settlement, the area under cultivation has very largely increased, and with a good season there is every prospect of very large traffic from the whole of them. The construction of lines in the Mallee eountry encourages settlement and materially assists the development of Crovvn lands. The lines nlready constructed act as feeders to the main lines, and thus contribute to the general revenue, and it may therefore be stated. that, although individuaJiy they show a loss~ the :\Iallee lines as a whole are a source of considerable profit to the State. Taking into consideration these facts, there is every j nstificntion for their fnrther extension, provided similar settlement can be inducL•(l.
NI~W LINES. 'With respect to the two narrow-gauge lines which have been authorized, I desire to state that, in my opinion, they \Yill he funnel to he very costly experiments. The estimated saving in cost of constnwtion is relatively so small that it cannot possibly compensate for the delays in transit, transfer elw.rges, additional cost of handling, and the general inconvenience necessnrily im'olved in breaking the gauge on such branch lines. 10
F .ARJ!JS AND RATES. The alteration of the Passenger Fares, which took effect in July last year, has, on the whole, worked out satisfactorily; there are, however, still some anomalies in the suburban fares which should be rectified at an early date. No material change has been made in the rates for goods traffic during the past year; but, in consequence of the severe drought and hush fires, large quantities of fodder for starving stock had to be carried at very low rates, specially conceded to meet the circumstances. PROPOSED METROPOLITAN STATIONS. It is generally admitted that a new passenger station at Flinders-street is urgently required. Already a large preliminary expenditure has been incurred, and it is an urgent necessity that the work of erecting the proposed new station at Flinders street should be at once proceeded with. Most careftll consideration has been given to the whole matter ; estimates have been submitted and plans have been prepared; and as soon as the necessary authority is given the Department is prepared to proceed with the work. As soon as the Flinders-street station is well in hand steps should be taken to provide new buildings for the accommodation of the intercolonial and country traffic at Spencer-street. The existing temporary structures are altogether unsuitable for the requirements of a principal terminus, and they are in such a state of dilapidation and decay that their speedy removal is necessary. Flinders and Spencer street stations are the chief termini of the Victorian railway system, and at both places buildings should be erected sufficiently commodious to provide for the growing traffic, and of a character in keeping with the requirements of the capital city of the colony. These works should he proceeded with as soon as possible, especially as it is certain that, apart from all other considerations, their erection will secure increased traffic, greater facility in the despatch of business, additional safety and convenience to the public, and at the same time will undoubtedly insure ultimate economy in working.
RAILWAY AcciDENT FuND. In accordance with the provisions of Act No. 12 so, section 46, a Railway Accident Fund has been established by the payment into the Treasury of Ten shillings for every £100 received for fares for the conveyance of passengers, and for charges for the conveyance of animals, goods, and parcels, until the total of such fund reaches £wo,ooo. It ..will be seen on reference to Heturn No. 8 in the Appendix that the balance to the credit of the fund was, at 3oth June last, £54,557 Igs. It is contemph1ted to enlarge the purposes to which this fund can be applied so as to make it cover insurance of railway buildings, plant, stores, or other properties, and to provide for the payment of any amounts which may he recommended by the Commissioner and approved by the Minister as compensation to any employe who may be injured in the execution of his duty.
\VnARFAGE AND WATER CoMPETITION. The anomalous position which the Railway Department occupies in regard to the various railway piers and wharf lines demands consideration. A large sum is received by the Customs Department aud the Melbourne Harbor Trnst in the shape of wharfage fees, &c., not one penny of which is credited to the Railways, although the interest on the cost of construction and the whole cost of maintenance have to be borne by this Department. 11
The capital expenditure on the piers at Williamstown, Port Melbtmrne, ·and Geelong is £3 I 1 ,ooo, and on other piers and wharfs at various places an additional £63,ooo has been expended, making a total of £374,000, on which the interest charges amount to £1 s,ooo per annum. The maintenance charges may be approximately stated at £8,ooo, or a total yearl.Y debit to the working expenditure of about £23,000.
The competition for the shipping business of the Port by the Harbor Trust, and the large expenditure of the public money by other Departments of the State to facilitate water competition with the Rail ways are factors which largely augment the deficit ; and I have deemed it my duty to draw attPntion to these matters in order that justice may be done to the Department. I trust that steps may be taken to remedy some of the anomalies complained of, and to place the whole matter on an equitable and satisfactory basis.
REFRESHMEXT Rom1s. It has to be admitted that there is considerable room for reform in connexion with the arrangements for the supply of refreshments to the travelling public. The matter is receiving careful attention, and on the terrnination of existing contracts I hope to make an alteration in the present system of catering fln' the public which will enable the whole of this important business to be placed on a more satisfactory basis.
SAFETY APPLIANCES.
It is uQ:ratifving .J c to note that no serious accidents have occurred during the year. The equipment of the whole of the rolling-stock with the Westinghouse continuous brake is being rapidly proceeded with.
During the year a further exteusion of the Tyer's train tablets and the Webb and Thomson electric train staff appliances has been made. These appliances insure greater safety and punctuality in running.
Various improvements are in progress and under camful consideration in connexion with interlocking, signalling, and safe working generally, so that the work ing of the whole of the lines may be conducted on the latest and most approved methods.
CoLouu VISION, ETC. It is generally recognised that periodical examinations of the staff engaged in working the traffic are necessary. The whole of the staff concerned are being examined in vision and hearing, and the result, so far, has demonstrated the necessity which existed for such examination.
ELECTRIC LIGHTING. The new central generating station is now being erected, and contracts have been let for the supply of I)'lachiuery, cables, &c. Satisfactory progress is being made, and when the whole of the works are completed there will be supply sufficient to light the Flinders-street and Spencer-street stations and yards1 the whole of the goods sheds, and the Houses of Parliament, General Post Office, and the Public Library. 'fhe short visit of the Telegraph Superintendent to England has enabled him to gnther information which is of great use to the Department in connexion with these extensive works. 12
CARRIAGI<} LIGHTING. I have already reported that it was decided to adopt Pintsch's gas for carriage lighting. The ne('cssary gas works arc beiug built contiguous to the electric light works, and will he under the same supervision. Plant is now being put do-wn capable of supplying gas for 6oo carri:1ges. Fittings are to hand for roo can·iages, nud the first train lighted w·ith this illuminant is now running. In addition to the much· needed improvement in lighting, it is believed that considerable economy will be effected by the introduction of this light.
BoARD OF ADVICE AND GENEHAL Pl;uposEs CoMMITTEES. The Board of Advice con1'itituted by the Hai1ways Act No. 1439, has rnet regularly. Minutes of all meeting;-; have been recorded and submitted to the Minister as required by the provisions of the Act. I mentioned in my last Report that a General Purposes Committee had been appointed-consisting of the Heads of Branches, presided over by myself-and I am pleased to state that, as was anticipated, these frequent conferences of leading officers have had a most beneficial effect on the general working of the Department. The various branches are now more completely in touch with each other, and the result is that the department;-;; are conducted with increased efficiency and economy, and the general work of administration is greatly £ APPEAL BoARD. The Appeal Board constituted under the Railways Act, No. I439, consisting of the Secretary, Chief Aecountant, Chief Mechanical Engineer, Engineer for Existing Lines, and Chief Traffic 11anager, with Mr. J. B. J uhnston, of the Newport 'Vork · shops (the representative chosen by the employcs ), has heard 70 appeals during the year. The deeisions of the Board were as follows :- Appeals dismissed ... Appeals upheld Punishments modified In 36 cases counsel were engagerl by the appellants, and in one case an agent was employed. In four cases the appellants bad to pay the 1-vhole costs of appeal ; and in one case half costs were paid. In fourteen instances [ heard appeals from the decision of the Board, but, after giving the facts careful consideration, I upheld the Board's verdict in every case. BRANCH SUPERVISION. The re·arrangements effected in the supervision of the Trnffic and Loco. Branches, and which were referretl to at length in my last Report, have heen found effectual, and have answered expectations. That public requirements are being met is evident from the diminution in the number of complaints received, especially regarding inattention and incivility. Discipline has been maintained, efficiency of working improved, and, generally, the effect of the re-organization and decen· tralization of the supervisory staff has been very satisf.'lctory. 13 CLASSIFICATION. The classification of the staff which was adopted on my recommendation has on the whole operated satisfactorily. In classifying 9,ooo employes of the diverse classes and grades which exist in a large railway system, it is of course impossible to give nnivcr,..,al satisfaction ; hnt l lwlicve it will he funnel that the scheme which has heen adopted is oue in which the equities of the employes, and the interests of the State, have been fairly considered. The workiug cost of the Department has in the meantime been largely increased hy its adoption (this, however, was anticipated), but it was universally recognised that a carefully considered and systematic adjustment of positions and pay was absolutely necessary. An earnest endeavour has been made to meet the reasonable requirements of the staff, and I am persuaded that already the classification has had a salutary efteet, and will ultimately result iu increased efficiency. THE 8TAl".F. The total number of permanent employes has increased fi·om 8,689 to 8,8Jo. The number is largely reduced every year through ordinary causes, deaths, dismissals, &c., and as practically no new appointments had been made for the past six years it was found absolutely necessary to make provision for strengthening the permanent staff. There were no apprentices in the engineering branches, and a number have now been appointed. The traffic staff has been strengthened by the appointment of a number of juniors who arc being trained to fill vacancies as they arise. There were 287 retirements during the year, and 428 appointments have been made. In the Appendix Return No. 23 will be found a table showing the whole of the applications for employment, examinations, &c., since the passing of the Railways Act, No. 767. In conclusion, it gives me great pleasure to repeat my testimony to the efficiency of the staff. With a more intimate knowledge and longer experience of the administrative officers, the high opinion which I had formed of them during my first year's tenure of office is amply justified. I have also to acknowledge the cordial eo-operation which they have at all times readily extended to me in the administration of the Department. I have now had various opportunities, by personal inspection and otherwise, of judging the staft' as a whole, and I have no hesitation in stating that the large army of employes in the service are well trained, diligent, zcalqus in the interests of the Department, and as a whole efficient in the performance of their duties. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, JOHN MATHIESON, Commissioner. .. • " APPEND I X. VICTORIAN RAILWAYS. APPENDIX TO THE REPORT OF THE VICTORIAN RAILWAYS COMMISSIONER.

To THE BoAlW OF LAND AND "WoRKS (RAILWAY CONSTimcnoN llHANCII). Engineer-in-Chief's Office, GENTLEMEN, Melbourne, I sth August, 1898. I have tl~e honour to report that, during the financial year ending 30th .] nnc, r 898, the only railway under .constrnctwn was that from W angaratta to "Whitfield. This lino is 30~ miles in length. It was aut.honzed by .Act No. 1492 on the 24th August, I897, as a 2-ft. gauge line. The Hailway Lands Acquisition Act of 1893, No. 1288, Part I., being incorporated in the Con struction Act, No. 1492, the commencement of the railway work:; w:ts nccess:trily delayed until the constitution of the Wangaratta. to Whitfield Railway Construction Trust on the 2oth J an nary, 1898, and then by other preliminary steps. On the I st .March work wns started, and is still proceeding. In aceordancc with the Com;trnction Act, the line is Leing built on the butty-gang system. The gunge bas, however, been inerea1ed from 2 feet to zft. 6in., unuer instructions of the Hon?mble the Minis~er of Hailwnys, dated the 24th February, 1898, following the recommendation of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Railway~. The Railways Commissioner has entered into ~t contract for the supply of engines, and is arranging for the manufacture of the other rolling-stock required for the line. The Frankst.on Cemetery branch, thme-qnarters of a mile, and the Heidclbcrg to Eltham railway, 8! miles, authorized on the 12th December, 1884, and 27th February, I893, respeetively,have not yet been commenced. The following lines were under survey during the year : PEmlANENT St:RYEYS. Country Lines. Colac to Beech Forest (2-ft. gauge) 30 miles. Fern Tree Gnlly to Gembrook (2-ft. gauge) I 81, , Lilydale to Yarra Junction (2-ft. gauge) ... I9f " W angaratta to Whitfield (2-ft. gauge) 30~ " Suburban J.ines. Nil. TRIAL SuRvEYs. Country Lines. J,ilydale to Vfarburton direct (2ft. 6in. gauge) z3t miles. Whitfield to Mansfield (2ft. 6in. gauge) fit " Suburban Lines. Nil. A large number of exploration,, inspections, reports, and estimates in connexion with these and other proposed lines have also been maue. Plans, sections, quantities, &c., have als'l heen partly prepared for the Lilydale to Yarra Junction, Fern Tree Gully to Gembrook, and Colac to Beech Forest lines on the 2ft. 6in. gauge. J?urther legal proeeeding,; have been taken by Messrs. J. Falkingham and Sons, contractors for the construction of the Dandenong to Leongatha section of the South-Eastern Railway. The original claims, as submitted by contractors to arbitration, under protest on the part of the Railway Department, amounted to £67,708 9s. I I d. and interest thereon. The amount of the original award, dated I oth October, 1892, was £2o,soo in favour of contractors, plus £952 I os., arbitrators' costs. The Rail way Department declined to recognise this award, and the contractors obtained power from the Supreme Court tD refer it baek to the arbitrators. On a rehearing by the latter (again under protest on the part of the Railway Department) an amended award was made, dated I Ith January, I897, for £I9,o76 Is. 2d., plus costs of the two arbitrations, £I,488 158. This award also the Department, under advice, declined to pay. During the year now under report the contractors went to the Supreme Court to enforce payment of the arbitrators' amended award, but it was declared invalid, and on reference to the ·Full Court this decision was confirmed, and a counter-claim of the Department for £I8,88I I8s. 3d. was Jecided against the contractor. In the case of the late }fr. Hobert Thoruton's claims on the Cathkin to :Ylansfield railway construction contract, referred to in my report for the year 1893-4, the arbitration proceedings, at which the Department was represented under protest, were closed on the 25th October, 1893. The award, dated_ 3oth October, 1893, was against the Department, and amounted to £16,ooz I os. I Id., besides £z,o58 16s. 17 arbitrators' fees, against £7 4,0 I 9 3S· sd. claims submitted by contractor to arbitrators. The aFard vlas not taken up until June, 1896, when it was lifted on behalf of the contractor. The Department refused to ;ecognise it, and on proceeding;; being taken in the Supreme Court to enforce payment it was declared m valid, December, I 897. The registration of "unemployed" men seeking casual labour, and the selection from the registe~ of such men a~ are rcquiretl on the railways and in other Government Departments, have been kept up durmg the year. Any mnn Reeking work has been free to register without fee, but careful inquiries are made into each case, and undeserving men struck off the list. The only preference given in selection is to married men and 8iugle men having others depending on them for support, these being chosen before single men who have only themseh·e:s to keep. In orde·· to guard again~t an undue accumulation of name~ with old dateH, registrations have to he renewed every three months. All men not renewing within a fortnight of due date arc assumed to have obtained employment elsewhere, and arc ~truck otf the hook~ tog:ethcr with those to whom work has been given, those who have failed to an~wer the call for work, anil those found to be undeserving.
