Office of the Railway Commissioners for New South Wales, Sydney, 25th November, 1930.

To THE HONORABLE THE PREMIER AND COLONIAL TREASURER. Sir, In accordance with the provisions of Section 40 of the Government Railways Act of 1912, as amended by the Government Railways (Amendment) Act of 1916, and as subsequently amended, we have the honor to submit, for the information of Parliament, our report upon the working of the Railways and Tramways for the year ended 30th June, 1930.

The financial results for the Railways compared with the previous year are as follow :—

CAPITAL.—The total capital expenditure on Railway lines opened for traffic on 30th June, 1930, was £126,318,236 (see Appendix VIII), of which £1,988,814 was added during the year under reviews

PROFIT ON CAPITAL.—The Het earnings show a profit of 2.28 per cent, on mean capital for the year, which amounted to £125,352,630.

RATIO OF WORKING EXPENSES TO EARNINGS.—The ratio of working expenses to earnings for the year was 83.93 fret cent., as against 76.36 per cent, the previous year. The result of working the Railways, after providing for all statutory obligations, was as follows :— £ Net Earnings 2,864,269 Contributions from Government towards losses on Working of Country Developmental Lines 800,000

£3,664,269 Interest 6,420,643

Loss on Year's Working £2,756,374

*46420—A teW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS AND TRAMWAYS.

EARNINGS.—At the commencement of the financial year it was estimated that the earnings would amount to £18,564,072, or £1,051,544 less than in the previous year. This estimate, however, was upset by the decline in business which set in soon afterwards, and developed at an increasing rate throughout the year. Thus, in July, 1929, the revenue was £78,626 above July, 1928, but August showed a drop of £41,106, September a drop of £87,772, making a decline for the first quarter of £50,252. The decline for the second quarter was £455,277, for the third quarter £563,421, and for the last quarter £719,974.

The decline in revenue is obviously an indirect result of the depression, which has affected practically the whole of the State, and which has, in particular, touched Railway earnings in the following ways :~ 1. Goods Traffic.—Transportation of goods has been restricted by :— (a) The bad season (reflected mainly in a decline of wheat traffic); (b) The dislocation of the coal industry ; , (c) Reduced trading in ordinary commodities ; and (d) Reduced capital expenditure by both Governmental and private enterprises.

The total net decrease in goods tonnage was 2,365,679 tons, the outstanding freight groups affected being: — tons. (i) Wheat, &c 557,000 (ii) Coal and Coke ... 1,040,000 (iii) Gravel, Metal, &c. 377,000 (iv) Miscellaneous Group 245,000 (v) Ores 51,000

In all the groups abovementioned the rates are relatively low ; in the higher rated groups, viz., " A," " B," " C," " 1st" and " 2nd," the decline in tonnage was 107,084 tons, but this affected the revenue more adversely than a much greater decline of tonnage in some other groups. Thus, the desline in the Miscellaneous group above referred to, viz., 245,000 tons, meant a loss of £172,300 in revenue, while the decline of 107,000 tons in the groups from " A " rate to " 2nd " class, meant a loss of £282,000.

2. PASSENGER TRAFFIC—Unemployment, intermittent employment, and reduced spending capacity from other causes, all a natural corollary of the general trade depression, had an increasingly unfavourable effect on passenger revenue during the course of the year, the position reached being there­ fore better indicated by the figures of the last quarter than those for the full year. The two main features were :— (a) General falling off in passenger journeys during the last quarter of 1929-30 from 37,943,293 passengers in 1928-29 to 34,830,244 passengers in 1929-30, or 8.20 per cent. (b) Diversion from 1st to 2nd class travel; the decline in 1st class passenger journeys was 11.72 per cent., and in 2nd class 7.77 per cent.

The issue of first-class ordinary tickets for the year was the lowest for ten years, the decline having been partisularly sharp during the past four years. Apart from inroads made by motor bus and motor coach competition, first-class train travel has been reduced by the growth in the number of private motor cars.

There has also been a serious diversion from first-class to second-class train travel due in a great measure, no doubt, to the unfavourable industria conditions. The issue of first-class season tickets during the last quarter fell from 22,768 in 1928-29 to 18,286 in 1929-30. This is partly explained by transfers from first to second class, as with ordinary tickets; but there is also evidence that owing to the trade depression many business firms did not renew season tickets for their representatives, and this in turn contributed to a decline in sleeping-berth revenue, which fell during the year from £224,000 to £197,000, a decrease of £27,000.

The number of second-class season tickets issued during the last quarter of this year was not quite one-half of 1 per cent, less than for the corresponding quarter of the previous year, but the revenue from such tickets decreased by 8| per cent., showing that the average length of travel was considerably less this year. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. 3

The number of workmen's weekly tickets issued for the last quarter of this year was 206,159 Iei« than in the same period of last year. For the twelve months ended 30th June, 1930, 394,000 less were issued than in the previous year, when there were 438,000 less than in the year before; so-that a sharp decline has taken place over three years. While some, such tickets may have been replaced by periodical weekly tickets (which are classified as second-class season tickets), the unsettled industrial and financial position has certainly affected very seriously this class of business.

WORKING EXPENSES.—The working expenses amounted to £14,962,423, which is £15,627 below the previous year's total. Rolling stock was written down by £162,658. The Commissioners were involved in increased expenditure from causes beyond their control as follows :— £ Increases in Wages and Salaries under Commonwealth and State Awards, and consequential adjustments approved by the Commissioners 238,731 Increased Contribution to the Government Railways Superannuation Account ... 74,200 Increase in Amount of Family Endowment Tax 74,503

£387,434 *

NET EARNINGS.—The net earnings for the year (that is, gross revenue less expenditure, but without charging interest) amounted to £2,864,269, as compared with £4,637,566 in the previous year, a decrease of £1,773,297. These earnings represent a return of £2 5s. 8d. per cent, on the mean capital, as compared with £3 16s. 5d. per cent, in the previous year.

INTEREST.—Interest on capital amounted to £5,420,643, as compared with £6,150,000 for the previous year; an increase of £270,643. Of the total, £1,800,444 is on account of capital expended on certain non-paying lines, listed on page 9.

DEVELOPMENTAL LINES.—The Commissioners again draw attention to the substantial losses incurred on a number of branch lines, some of which, although described as "developmental lines," have not only proved a burden on the Railway accounts but have failed to bring about any material increase in production. •

The railway accounts are credited with a Government contribution of £800,000 per annum for the losses on those lines; but during the period of twelve months covered by this report such losses totalled approximately £1,950,000.

The Glenreagh-Dorrigo line is a striking example not only of over-capitalisation and loss but also of non-realisation of the development which was expected. This line was opened for traffic on the 23rd December, 1924, and the revenue during the five complete years of operation has been :—

1925 11,838 1926 12,843 1927 14,480 1928 11,029 1929 10,742

The capital cost of the line at the 31st December, 1929, was £1,381,187. For the year ended on that date the interest was £71,001, and working expenses £27,381, making a total debit of £98,382. As the revenue was only £10,742 there was a loss after charging working expenses alone of £16,639, and including interest a total loss of £87,640.

Extensions from Uranquinty to Kywong and from TJngarie to Naradhan were completed during 1929. The losses on these lines, including interest on capital, amounted to £15,711 and £18,029 respectively for the twelve months ended 30th June, 1930.

The line from Booyong to Ballina is almost complete : the capital cost is approximately £400,000, Involving an annual interest charge of about £22,000. The estimated working expenditure is £2,880, and the estimated revenue £3,000 per annum, so that the total annual loss will be approximately £22,000. 4 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS AND TRAMWAYS.

The following are the latest estimates of the extensions in course of construction :—

In some of these cases from six to eight years have elapsed since the Commissioners' Statutory Reports were made ; and, in the interval, prospects of revenue have diminished owing to improvement in roads or to other causes, while the costs of construction and operation have greatly increased. The extension of the New South Wales North Coast line from Kyogle across the Queensland border to South Brisbane was completed, and the line opened for traffic on the 27th September, 1930. This line extends the New South Wales 4 feet 8| inch gauge into Queensland, overcoming the break of gauge between the two States. A line from Hillston to Roto, estimated to cost £176,770, is now under construction, the capital being advanced by the Commonwealth Government under terms of the Migration Agreement at special rates of interest, viz., Ave years at 1 per cent, per annum, five years at one-third of the Commonwealth Loan rate, and thereafter at the Commonwealth Loan rate. Apart from interest charges, the estimated annual working expenses of this line are £5,270, and the estimated annual revenue £3,500. The work on the City Electric Railway (estimated now to cost £6,966,000, excluding the Sydney Harbour Bridge and bridge approaches) has proceeded during the year. The amount expended for the twelve months ended 30th June, 1930, was £683,150, bringing the total expenditure to date up to £5>316,479, and leaving a balance of approximately £1,650,000 to complete the work. In addition to this cost, the railway accounts will bear two-thirds of the cost of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and approaches. LINES AUTHORISED BUT NOT YET COMMENCED. In addition to the abovementioned lines, which are under construction, the following railway lines have been authorised by Parliament but not yet commenced :—

A review of the position as regards non-paying lines indicates the advisability and equity of applying the betterment tax principle to future lines. At present its only application is in connection with the reduction of the compensation allowed to owners whose land is traversed by a new line. While this consideration represents an almost negligible relation to the increased value given to the properties in the large area directly benefited by the railway concerned, the obvious injustice of singling out ihese very few owners for the betterment claim invariably evokes strong protests.

MOTOR COMPETITION. Attention has been drawn by the Commissioners in their Annual Reports for some years past to the effect of motor competition on the earning powers of this State's railway system. The loss of passenger business and high-grade freight traffic to motor competition is a serious matter to the Railways, because the industry is one in which the overhead costs bear a very high proportion to the total costs of transport. Railway loan capital is sunk largely in assets more or less ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. 5

fixed, such as track, bridges, stations, signalling, rolling stock, power houses, workshops and machinery, on which it pays interest and most of which has to be maintained in full working order, despite a shrinkage in business. The phenomenal growth of road motor competition in this State is strikingly illustrated by the following table, which shows the registrations of motor cars and motor lorries in New South Wales each year since 1924:— Year. Motor Cars. Motor Lorries. 1924 62,471 , ...... 11,970^ 1925 82,175 ... 16,276 1926 104,675 ... 22,986 ^ 1927 129,985 ... 30,517 1928 155,403 ... 37,129: 1929 ...... 162,298 ... 39,503 1930 ... 169,495 ... 43,074 The use of private motor cars for excursions, for long distance travel, and even for daily suburban travel, has greatly increased during the last five or six years. In addition to the driver, there is often a full load of friends and relatives, and there is evidence in more recent times that private motor cars are frequently carrying strangers free or for a fare-; so that to-day the private car is the railway's most serious competitor for passenger traffic, although the bus and motor coach are important factors in the situation. While it is impossible to give an authoritative figure showing the effect road transport has had on railway passenger travel, a comparison between the actual number of passengers carried and the number which might have been expected judging by the increase of population, suggests that since 1924 the railways have lost to road motors, private or otherwise, approximately 1,800,000 passengers per annum in the country, and 13,700,000 in the suburban area, or a tptal for the whole State of 15,500,000 per annum. In actual revenue this would be approximately £1,000,000. It may be mentioned that in the case of the new Hawkesbury road, which parallels the Sydney- Newcastle, railway, after a heavy outlay on concrete construction of the road, a State-owned ferry was established for the connection across the Hawkesbury River, and a toll established as a charge on the road users. The minimum toll for buses, exclusive ot passengers, is 15s. per crossing; but a service of public motor cars has been established between Sydney and Newcastle, giving two trips per day each way, for which the toil paid is Is. per crossing. The road vehicles, of course, take only the higher paying passengers, the daily flow of occasional travellers who pay full rates. The railways retain the season ticket, workmen's weekly, school children and other non-paying business; the result of road competition, therefore, being not only fewer passengers hut also lower average payment per passenger. Ji is most necessary that the growing importance of the national investment on account of the metropolitan and suburban railway passenger service should not be overlooked. Since the original decision to electrify the Sydney suburban lines and to connect them with a city underground system, successive Governments have approved the scheme and sanctioned the requisite expenditure. Furthermore, a continuous investigation of the subject, and the gathering of information personally and otherwise from the leading authorities in the chief cities of the world, have entirely confirmed the decision to make the railways the major service for passenger transportation in the city and suburbs. It has to be recognised that they must be allowed to function in that capacity to justify the immense capital expenditure already incurred and contemplated, and to prevent its becoming a serious burden on the State. The capital expenditure already incurred^on these services, together with the definite commit­ ments, includes the original outlay for passenger traffic, the cost of electrification of the existing lines, the City Railway, the Tempe to East Hills and St. Leonards to Epping lines, and the Commissioners' proportion of the Harbour Bridge, the total amounting to £37,000,000. Other lines which are involved in the scheme of metropolitan railways, and on which considerable expenditure has been incurred in anticipation, are the Eastern Suburbs, Western Suburbs, and Manly-Narrabeen railways, the combined cost of which cannot be taken at less than £7,000,000, bringing the total of the expenditure in sight to £44,000,000, with undoubtedly more to follow. In addition to the necessarily heavy capital charges on this sum the working expenses of such a system will represent a very large figure. To prevent this annual expenditure becoming a serious charge on the State, it is necessary that the system shall operate as the major service for the districts and routes it serves, .being itself fed by the minor transport services, whether State or privately owned. 6 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS AND TRAMWAYS.

Lord Ashfield, who holds a position of unique responsibility in London, bsing Chairman of the five underground railways of London, the London Omnibus Company, and the London United Tramways, selected such a scheme as the only means of meeting the growing requirements of that city in passenger transportation, and of overcoming, at the same time, its serious street congestion. While the Commis­ sioners, therefore, are not questioning the wisdom of the course taken in the ease of Sydney, they feel it their duty to urge that, whenever questions of metropolitan passenger transport are considered by responsible authorities, .the paramount importance of this national investment shall be kept in view, /•HStrfar as competitive services for goods traffic are concerned, the commercial motor truck has extended the radius of delivery by merchants and others, both in the suburban area and in the country, beyond the limited mileage formerly served by horse-drawn vehicles ; and the tonnage of goods traffic diverted to road transport grows each year. Although here, again, it is difficult to arrive at the total freight value of the tonnage so diverted, the loss to the railways is estimated to-day to amount to between £900,000 and £1,000,000 per annum. - This estimate is based on a comparison over a number of years between the actual falling off in the revenue from the highest rated freight (which is most vulnerable to attack by road motors) and the increase which might have been expected judging by the rate of increase in all other classes of freight. The importance of the class of freight thus lost to the Railways may be illustrated in another way : the three highest rated freight groups, viz*, " 1st," " 2nd," and " C " classes, account for less than 2 per cent, of the total tonnage carried, but produce 9 per cent, of the total revenue. Stated briefly, the position is that the railway charges for both freight and passengers have been such that, under normal conditions of prosperity the average charge gave some profit. If the higher- paying items are allowed to be taken by competitors, or may only be retained at a lower profit than hitherto, the average revenue under the best conditions will be reduced below the average cost, and the loss must be met by taxation or by increased charges on the vast low-paying passenger and goods business. The importance of this matter justifies a repetition of the final clause in the Australasian Railway Commissioners* statement q«ete44n-the4ast-repeft-:— " . . . . it is beyond question that the road motor form of freight transport cannot pretend, in the final analysis, to cope with primary production, and as it is upon the-value of such primary production that the foundation of the Commonwealth and the Dominion rests, it is obvious that if the railways are crippled this foundation will be rendered insecure, and in turn the financial stability of Australia and New Zealand will be gravely depreciated." The justification of this warning is now coming home to all Australasia. The first legislative action in this State to enable the Commissioners to meet, to some extent, such competition, was the passing of the Amending Railway Act (No. 39 of 1930), which was assented to on 25th June last. , y—- , - , - Under this Act the Commissioners are authorised to/establish collection and delivery services for the carriage by road to or from a railway, of livestock, goods, parcels, and passengers' luggage; to quote special rates in particular cases for the purpose of securing tho carriage by the railways of consign­ ments which in their opinion might not be so secured if the prescribed rates were charged ; and, where competition with railways by motor traffic exists, to contract for the conveyance of freight for a period at special rates. . Cases in which such powers to quote special rates have been exercised must be reported to the Minister and laid before both Houses of Parliament. Should either House pass a resolution disallowing any special rate, that rate shall cease to have effect. A penalty charge up to one-half of the prescribed charge may, with the approval of the Governor be enforced for breach of such a contract. It is too early to estimate the effect on the revenue of these increased powers; but the Commis­ sioners must point out that, apart from the limitations contained in the reservation to Parliament of the right of annulment of contracts, even an -unfettered power to cut rates amounts to no more than an opportunity to retain or recover at a lower rate of profit that portion of their business upon the return from which they depend to support the unprofitable portion. They still have to carry the millions o* tons for which the rates are below cost, and which are entirely avoided by their competitors; and they must still allow rebates to, and even carry stock free of charge for those owners and traders who give their paying business to the competitors of the railways. A system of collection of goods from wharves, business premises, and private residences, for transport by rail and delivery-from railroad to destination, has already been introduced, and in this way some traffic which would otherwise have gone to road transport has been recovered. The handling .furniture and effects from house to rail, and from rail to house, under this system has brought some new business, which promises to increase. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 7

" CASH-ON-DELIVERY " PARCELS SYSTEM. The amending Railway Act also authorised the Commissioners to introduce a " Cash-on- delivery " parcels system whereby the consignor's charges, as well as the freight, can be collected, and • a valid receipt given. With the introduction of this system, provision was made, with Executive approval, for the introduction of a special schedule of rates for small parcels from 1 to 14 lb.—the previous charges being only for up to 3 lb., 7 lb., and 14 lb. respectively—whieh has resulted in an increase in the parcels traffic, notwithstanding the prevailing depression, and there is every indication of a large increase in this business. The Cash-on-delivery system has been applied to parcels forwarded by passenger train, and for a charge of 4d. in the £, with a minimum of 6d., the value of the parcel is collected and remitted to the consignors. This system is an advantage to manufacturers, traders and primary producers, and is expected to develop.

REDUCTION OF SERVICES. As a means of improving the financial results, the Commissioners have carefully considered the question of curtailment of services ; but in most cases it has been found that the net result would be disadvantageous. The keeping of the lines open at all involves almost the full cost of what may be termed the fixed services, and all the equipment has been provided for the existing traffic, so that the actual saving effected by a reduction in the movements of the rolling stock is in many cases relatively small, and in some cases would not justify the resulting inconvenience to the public. Consideration has also been given to the closing down of some of the non-paying lines. In that case the proportionate saving would be greater than by reduction of services, because the whole of the direct wages and salaries costs on the line would be saved. There would still remain, however, the indirect cost of the general administration, and, of course, the interest on the capital cost, while the whole of the revenue from the closed line would be lost, as against a possible partial loss only if" services were curtailed, but not entirely discontinued. Moreover, in some cases industrial communities have been established along the railway lines in districts where the road pro­ vision is so poor that there would almost certainly be much loss and hardship among such communities if railway facilities were withdrawn.

RATIONING OF WORK AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO RETRENCHMENT. Owing to the falling off in both goods and passenger business, the number of railway employees on working expenses was reduced by the retrenchment of 1,600 men between January, 1929, and March, 1930, when the Commissioners directed, in view of the economic position of the State and the extent of unemployment, that further retrenchment was to be avoided, as far as possible, by rationing the available work among the staff. When the Forty-four Hours Week Act, 1925 (State), became operative in January, 1926, railway employees who were covered by the Federal forty-eight hour award were allowed to work on a forty- four hours week (for forty-eight hours' pay), but from 13th April, 1930, the hours of approximately 22,000 railway employees, covered by the Federal awards for locomotive engine-men, electrical trades, stationary engine-drivers, enginemen in power stations, and the A.R.U. Federal award, were extended to forty-eight per week. The Forty-four Hours Week Act was repealed by the passage of the Industrial Arbitration (Eight Hours) Amending Act, 1930, and from 29th June, 1930, the hours of approximately 8,650 employees covered by State awards were extended to forty-eight per week. The majority of the wages staff in all branches of the Railway Service have had their hours of duty increased from forty-four to forty-eight per week, and are being rationed to the extent that is necessary to absorb the surplus staff. Some sections of the salaried staff also, such as station- masters, night officers, foremen, sub-foremen, &c., have had their hours of duty increased to forty-eight per week, and this surplus staff also is being absorbed by rationing. The rationing of work has been arranged in three ways, viz., (1) one weelf off periodically, (2) one or more days off each fortnight, or (3) four hours off each week by the continued working of the forty-four hours week with the loss of four hours' pay. Because of the provisions of the A.R.U. Federal award, it was not permissible to ration employees in the Railway Permanent Way and Signalling Branches unless a majority of the men agreed to go on reduced time rather than that the services of any of their number should be terminated, but ballots which were taken resulted in a majority of the men in both branches voting in favour of working reduced time, and these men are being booked off for a week periodically. Under several Federal awards (e.g., Electrical Trades, Timber Workers, and certain sections of the A.R.U. award), it is not permissible to book employees off duty without pay for less than one week at a time, but applications have been made to the Federal Arbitration Court with a view to obtaining greater freedom in regulating the sharing of work. 8 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS AND TRAMWAYS.

The Public Service (Salaries Reduction) Act, 1930, provides for a deduction of 8J per cent, from the 1st July, 1930, to the 30th June, 1931, inclusive, from the salaries and wages of employees (including a large number of salaried officers) who are not covered by Federal awards and whose hours have not been extended to forty-eight per week. The only salaried officers who have not been affected by the increase of hours, reduction of salaries, or rationing of work, are those who are covered by the Professional Officers' Federal Award, (approximately 500 men), to whom the provisions of the State Act cannot be applied. Application has, however, been made to the Federal Court for a variation In the Award covering such officers.

The work generally has kept pace with the installation of machinery, and it is anticipated that part of the new equipment will be put in service during the ensuing year. The reconstruction of the boiler-house and turbine-house is now approaching completion. Progress has been made with the excavation for foundations for the coal storage bin and siding, and with the erection of the pneumatic coal-handling plant and ash-handling plant. The construction of three of the six new boilers for Ultimo Power Station is now well advanced- Each boiler will have a maximum capacity of£0,000 lb. of steam per hour, and will be fitted with equipment for burning pulverised fuel. Four of the old boilers (in addition to 30 already removed) have been sold and dismantled during the year. An, additional 60-ton crane has been erected in the turbine house. - The construction of the tVo new locally constructed 20,000 kilowatt turbo-alternators is well advanced, and the erection ot the equipment for the first unit is well in hand at the Ultimo Power Station. In connection with the new plant, orders have been placed for dow-tension switchgear, pneumatic coal"haadling plant, a 750-kilowatt emergency turbine, and indicating and recording instruments; ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONED. 13

The total electrical energy generated at Ultimo and White Bay Power Stations for the year under review was 372,894,110 kilowatt-hours, as compared with 420,708,460 kilowatt-hours during the preceding year; 15,463,680 kiloWatt-hours were generated at Ultimo, and 357,430,430 kilowatt-hours at White Bay. 156,418,073 kilowatt-hours were supplied to the electric railway system and 55,341,277 kilowatt- hours to outside bodies. . The reduction in the energy generated during the year ended 30th June, 1930, is due to the fact that the cancellation of the agreement providing for the supply of energy by the Commissioners to the Sydney Municipal Council took effect on the 30th September, 1929.

ZARRA STREET POWER STATION. The installation of the additional water tube boiler having a maximum capacity of 45,000 lb. of steam per hour, was completed during the year. An electrically-driven boiler feed pump has been transferred from Ultimo Power Station. During the past year the electrical energy generated was 56,691,814 kilowatt-hours, compared with 55,976,614 kilowatt-hours during the previous year. Of the electrical energy generated during the year 41,315,416 kilowatt-hours were supplied to outside bodies, the balance, viz., 15,376,398 kilowatt-hours being used for departmental purposes, including 6,260,910 kilowatt-hours for tram traction.

LITHGOW POWER STATION. An ash plant of the sluicing type has been installed, and work has been commenced bri the extension of the power station buildings to provide for an additional boiler, turbine, and Switchgear necessitated by the supply of energy to Lithgow, Bathurst and Orange Councils* and the Blaxland and Blue Mountains Shire Councils. The order has been placed for the switchgear and for the additional boiler which will have a maximum capacity ot 31,250 lb. of steam per hour. An outdoor switchyard and a 2,000-kVA bank ot step-up transformers lot transmission of electrical energy at 60,000 volts' for the Lithgow-Orange transmission line have been completed at the power station; The first section of the Lithgow-Orange transmission line has been completed, and substations erected at Wallerawang and Bathurst, to admit of service to the local Councils during the present winter. A further bank of step-up tf ansforfners has been installed at the power station for the supply of energy, at 10,000 volts to the Comfhonwealth Small Arms Factory. During the past year the electrical energy generated was 2,751,319 kilowatt-hours, of which 2,032*084 kilowatt-hours were supplied for industrial purposes, the greatef proportion being utilised by the Railway Coal Mirte. The balance of 719,235 kilowatt-hours was used for lighting the Lithgow railway yards, etc.j and for power station purposes.

CITY AND SUBURBAN ELECTRIC RAILWAY. Construction Work has proceeded on the western side of the city, the tunnelling operations from Goulburn-street to Wynyard and construction of the underground stations at the Town Hall and Wynyard being well advanced during the year.. On the section from Goulburn-street to the Town Hall, the construction of the four tunnels involved a considerable amount of underpinning of the city buildings. Between George and Goulburn streets the flat-top steel construction of the four tunnels has been completed, with the exception of short lengths under the Supply Stores and Wills' Building, now in progress. '

The driving of the four tunnels under George-street, with the consequent underpinning of buildings, was pushed forward, and at the end of the year, of the section between the Town Hall and Central the following lengths remained to complete :—

Up Shore 3J chains. Down Shore' ...... 2J chains. City Inner 4 chains. City Outer Nil.

At Town Hall Station one line of pedestrian, vehicular and tram traffic was diverted to the completed' western section of the station roof in George-street in January, and the centre section was fenced off on 28th January, 1930. In this section the erection of the main steel framing has been completed, and practically the whole of the concreting of station roof and street surface. Detail plans of station finish, tiling, ventilation, water supply and escalators have been made. A tender has been accepted for erection of two escalators. Provision has been made for future subways at each end of the station. In the northern section the lower platform tunnels have been completed and the driving of the Up and Down Shore tunnels pushed forward. The diversion of all the underground services in the eastern footpath of George-street to clear construction work was completed. From the Town Hall to Wynyard Station the four tunnels have now been completed and concreted. At Wynyard Station all excavation in the area has practically been completed. The concrete work in the main station building has also been completed, and is now in progress for the cafeteria, restaurant and western entrance buildings. Plans in connection with station detailing have been well advanced. The whole of the steel work up to the ground floor in the western entrance has been erected. On the eastern side of the city the construction of the two tunnels, temporarily stopped in March, was recommenced during May. At the end of the year there remained 3 chains of driving and concreting to complete the City Inner tunnel, and 12 chains to complete the City Outer tunnel.

The construction of the line from Kyogle to Richmond Gap is practically complete as far as the original contract is concerned,, the rails being laid to connect with Queensland. The continued wet weather has necessitated a certain amount of additional earthwork, which will take some two or three months to finish. The construction of the line from Moss Vale to Port Kembla has been completed to 19 miles 30 chains from Moss Vale; and from the Port Kembla end 61 cuttings out of 91 have been completed; and the remainder, namely 30, are in progress. Satisfactory progress has been made in connection with the excavation for the tunnels, waterways, &c. In connection with the Clarence River Bridge connecting Grafton to South Grafton, five main piers have been completed, the remaining two are sunk to 23 and 48 feet below high water respectively. The first span has been floated into position, and the second span well advanced into position ready for floating. Good progress is being made in connection with the embankments, 60,000 cubic yards having been placed in position and pile driving commenced for the viaducts. The earthworks, bridge and culverts on the line from Tempe to East Hills are nearing completion; the platforms and station buildings are well in hand. The construction of the line from Camurra to Boggabilla wras closed down during the year but re­ opened in May. Earthworks are now completed for 50 miles. Rails are laid and the line earth-ballasted to Croppa, a distance of 35| miles; the station yards and buildings are in progress. Work in connection with the construction of the line from Casino to Bonalbo was closed down during the year and re-opened in May last. Earthworks, bridges and culverts are in hand for a length of ten miles. Woik in connection with the construction of the lir.e from Guyra to Dorrigo was started during the year, and earthworks had proceeded for 9 miles when the works were closed during the month of February. The construction of the line from Hillston to Roto was started during the year, and earthworks completed for 22 miles and minor waterways for 14 miles. Satisfactory progress has been made with the bridge over the Lachlan River. RAILWAY COAL MINE, LITHGOW. The total output of the Railway Coal Mine for the year was 527,293 tons, and good progress was made on developmental work. The main endless haulage rope was .extended 20 chains beyond No."6 East district, making the total distance from the shaft bottom to the return wheel 2 miles 42 chains. As No. 1 East district is almost worked out, the auxiliary haulage was removed to No. 4 East district and that in No. 2 East re-arranged to work both Nos. 1 and 2 East districts. A new auxiliary haulage was installed in No. 2 North-west district, a new sot is now being installed in No. 5 East district, and a further set is being manufactured at Chullora workshops for installation in No. 6 East, district. The auxiliary haulage in No. 4 East which was previously worked by direct haulage, was converted to the main and, tail system. There has been extensive renewal of timbering in the main intakes (haulage and travelling" roads), and also in the main, return airways. New overcasts have been constructed, in Nos. 2 and 3 North-west and Nos. 5 and 6 East districts. Shunts and flat ends were completed in No. 3 North-west and No. 6 East districts, and new horse fiats made in Nos. 4, 5 and 6 East, and No. 2 North-west districts. Two electrically-driven air-compressors have been installed in-bye, in place of the two small electrical compressors on the surface and the steam-driven compressors. A 3-core high tension cable was laid from the pit bottom to No. 4 sub-station, a distance of about 2£ miles. A commencement was made last October for the sinking of an additional ventilating shaft at a point about 3 miles north of the existing shafts. A portion of the cliff has been excavated and concreted to a height of 64 feet. An electric winding engine and an electric compressor have been installed.

RATIO OF WORKING EXPENSES TO EARNINGS.—The ratio of working expenses to earnings for the year was 92-88 per cent., or 6*84 per cent, higher than the previous year. The result of working of the Tramways after providing for all statutory obligations, was as follows :— £ £ Net earnings . 277,906 Interest 630,150 " Sinking Fund charges 33,000 : 663,150

Loss on year's working £385,244

EARNINGS.—The earnings show a decrease of £554,420 compared with the previous year, of which £207,823 was due to practical cessation of supply of electricity to the Civic Commissioners as from September, 1929, while the continued depression for practically the whole of the year in addition to competition of motor buses, charabancs, motor cars utilised as taxi buses, and motor lorries used for conveyance ot workmen and picnic parties, accounted for the balance, viz., £346,597. WORKING EXPENSES.—The working expenses for the year amounted to £3,625,564, or a decrease of £210,080, compared with the previous year, notwithstanding the following increased expenditure incurred during the year beyond the Commissioners' control Increased payments in wages and salaries under Commonwealth and State . £ awards and consequential adjustments approved by the Commissioners ... 83,919 Contribution to the Family Endowment Fund 16,057 Contribution to the Government Railways and Tramways Superannuation Account 2,300

CAPITAL. The net expenditure charged to Capital Account on lines opened for traffic during the year was £21,789. The total capital expenditure on lines opened to traffic on the 30th June, 1930, was £11,764,978 (see Appendix XXXI). PASSENGERS CARRIED. The passengers carried during the year numbered 307,789,621, as compared with 333,476,019 for the previous year, a decrease of 25,686,428. During the year adjustments were made in time-tables of various lines with a view to effecting economy in working, which it is anticipated will result in a saving of £97,000 per annum. No passengers or employees were fatally injured by accidents to trams during the year.

TRANSFER OF GOVERNMENT TRAMWAYS FROM THE CONTROL OF THE RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS TO THE TRUSTS CONSTITUTED UNDER THE TRANSPORT ACT, 1930. The Transport Act, 1930, which was absented to on 4th June, 1930, came into operation,' by proclamation, on and from 5th August, 1930. Under this Act the New South Wales Government Tramways and the property, equipment, &c, associated with them, with the exception of the power stations, sub­ stations and high tension cables used in. the transmission of power from the power stations to the sub-stations were vested in the Trusts created under the Transport Act, 1930, in Sydney and Newcastle. The Act pro­ vided that all officers who were wholly or mainly npon tramway work were to be transferred to the service of the Trusts, taking with them the privileges they held as railway officers. The Act further prescribed that, in certain instances, where it was not competent for the new authority to take over at once a particular branch or activity, or portion of a particular branch, arrangements could be made with the Railway Com­ missioners for the rendering of services as heretofore, pending the completion of the staff arrangements in connection with the tramways. 20 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS AND TRAMWAYS.

On and from 5th August, 1930, the whole of the Tramway Traffic Branch, the Tramway Permanent- Way Branch, and the Randwick Tramway Workshops, as well" as the Rolling-stock Superintendent and associated staff, were transferred to the control of the Metropolitan Transport Trust. The approximate number of officers so transferred was :—

Salaried Staff. Wages Staff. Total.

Tramway Traffic Branch 460 4,755 5,215 Tramway Permanent-Way Branch 55 1,533 1,588 Randwick Workshops 75 874 949 Car Sheds (Rolling Stock) 32 712 744

622 7,874 8,496

The overhead line maintenance and emergency work for the tramways, both in the Metropolitan, and Newcastle districts, is for the present being carried out under the control of the Chief Electrical Engineer of the Railway Department, the cost of the services rendered being kept separate and debited against the Transport Trust with other similar charges. In other branches of the Railway Service where staffs were engaged only partly on tramway work, such work is being carried on by them until such time as the Transport Trust can take it over.

ACCOMMODATION FOR TRAFFIC AND CONDITION OF THE LINES AND ROLLING STOCK. In connection with the relaying and maintenance works, alterations to levels and alignment were effected to suit reconstruction and widening of roadways by the Main Roads Board on the Cook's River and Ryde lines. During the year the following buildings were painted and renovated, viz.:—41 waiting rooms 2 meal rooms, 7 starters' boxes, 4 substations, 3 offices, 1 car shed, 1 transfer punt, and 4 cabins'. Eleven miles seventeen chains of single track were relaid during the year. Curves to a length of 2 miles 67 chains single track were renewed; 11J miles of track reconditioned; and junctions totalling 76 chains of track were relaid. An extension was made to the chemical manufacturing plant at Wolli Creek depot to cope with increased departmental demands; this plant is being operated in conjunction with the tar distillery. Seventy-seven thousand nine hundred and forty tons of metal were used during the year on the maintenance of tracks, and 911 tons on capital works. Two hundred and forty-two thousand and sixty-four gallons of distilled tar were used for mixing with metal and 111,247 gallons used for top-dressing; 85,148 square yards of wood-paved track and 242,465 square yards of macadamised track were top-dressed with tar, a total of 327,613 square yards being treated. At the tar distillery, Wolli Creek depot, 227,393 gallons of crude tar were treated, producing 201,467 gallons of distilled tar. In addition 24,627 gallons of tar oils have been extracted and the following items manufactured from the by-products :— Gallons. Fluid disinfectant 16,241 Rail paint 6,086 Wood-preserving oil 4,256 Enamel paints ... 9,264

Total 35,847

The adoption of bitumen-penetrated macadam in lieu of premixed tarred macadam ori relaying works has resulted in improved road surface and in marked economy in surface maintenance. New steel was electrically deposited in situ on 6,274 worn crossings and 43,821 feet of rail. During the year the rack treating plant was increased by three scrubber rail grinders, mounted on obsolete tram-cars. The equipment treated 115J miles of corrugated track, thus materially reducing this troublesome cause of noise. OVERHEAD WIRING. The following works have been carried out in connection with the overhead wiring and supporting structures used for the electric tramway system:—3 chains of overhead wiring erected on duplication of existing tram lines, Sydney; 2 miles 49 chains of overhead wiring erected on account of tram tracks being relaid, Sydney; and 28 miles 9 chains of tramway trolley wire renewed, Sydney. One hundred and seventy-one defective poles have been replaced at Sydney and 20 at Newcastle; and 50 Lewis bolts erected in lieu of poles at Sydney. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. 21

. ROLLING STOCK. The following repairs and alterations were effected at the Randwick workshops :— Electric tramcars.—167 " A " overhauls, 364 repainted, and 2,157 received repairs of a minor character. Two hundred and eighty-seven electric car trucks.—" A " overhaul and general repairs. Thirty-four " L " type cars converted to " LP " type. Armatures.—818 rewound, 2,933 repaired. Steam motors.'—Sis general overhaul, 21 repaired, and 9 repainted. Ten steam cars overhauled and repainted. Road motor vehicles.—Fourteen overhauled, 122 repaired, and 7 repainted. *

AT NEWCASTLE WORKSHOPS*. Steam motors.—One " A " overhaul, and 28 lesser overhauls and repairs. Twenty-four steam motors were dismantled. Electric cars.—Seventy-four " B " overhauls and 72 minor repairs. Steam trail cars.—Twenty-6even were dismantled.

RANDWICK WORKSHOPS. The Workshop equipment generally has been improved by the installation of further modern machines and improvements to plant. During the year the following were manufactured:—119,000 fittings for the suburban electric railways; 128,000 fittings for tramway overhead wiring and high-tension transmission lines; 424,000 non~ ferrous castings, and 230 tons of ingots from scrap material.

TESTING LABORATORY AND RESEARCH SECTION. Much useful research work has been carried out during the year; among the more valuable developments were the following :—• A low carbon 3£ per cent, nickel steel has been introduced for electrically building up worn carbon steel tramway rails, the increased resisting properties of which are expected to reduce the cost of tramway track maintenance. An important modification to electric arc welding shields, as a result of laboratory experiments, has completely eliminated light reflection from their glasses. An exhaustive investigation of tramway rail corrugation was made, and a comprehensive report presented. Certain types of railway axle fractures have been investigated and shown to be due to bearing metal embrittlement. A special apparatus has been developed for the testing of turbine oil and a section installed for the repairing and testing of instruments. Considerable work has been performed for other public bodies, including investigations into the characteristics of liquid fuses, and steel cable for transmission lines, for the Public Works Department. 22 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS AND TRAMWAYS.

RAILWAYS AND TRAMWAYS.

STAFF. The average number of staff employed throughout the year, not including those engaged in the construction of new lines of railway and tramway, was 51,835—railways, 41,342; tramways, 10,493, as compared with 55,093—railways, 43,972; tramways, 11,121, for the previous year, or a total decrease of 3,258 for the year ended on the 30th June, 1930. The average staff employed throughout the vear on the construction of new lines of railway and tramway was 3,023. By amending legislation the tax on wages and salaries as contribution to the Eamily Endowment Fund was limited, from 20th December, 1929, to the wages and salaries paid under Awards of the State Arbitration Court, and from 1st January, 1930, the rate of tax was reduced from 2 per cent, to 1 per cent.

RAILWAY AND TRAMWAY INSTITUTE. The membership oi the Institute at the close of the year was 26,467, of whom 12,389 belonged to the metropolitan branches, 8,245 to country centres, and 5,833 to sectional libraries at distant centres of employment. The expenditure for the year was £55,177, and the revenue, from subscriptions and other sources, £20,942. Sectional libraries were established in connection with the construction of the lines from Hillston to Roto, Port Kembla to Moss Vale, and City Railway {Wynyard Station). In addition to the main library, which contains 113,726 volumes, there are 45 sectional libraries and 57 offices regularly supplied with books from the main library. The number of class enrolments for the year totalled 5,437. During the year 945 students of the trades classes sat for the annual Technical College examinations, of which 836 passed, representing a percentage of 88. In commercial and vocational subjects, of 2,420 students examined, 1,902 (79 per cent.) were successful. Five students sat for the University Matriculation examination and were successful, Mr. G. A. Peterson, 3rd class draftsman of the Locomotive Branch, being awarded both a " P. N. Russell " and the " Eddy Memorial " Scholarship. Five thousand three hundred and ninety-six traffic and 1,649 locomotive employees sat for Institute examinations. A record number of staff, viz., 14,211, took advantage of the instruction given by moans of tho locomotive and safe-working instruction, cars.

SUGGESTIONS AND INVENTIONS. During the year 3,906 suggestions were received from the staff, and of this number 668, representing 17*1 per cent., have been adopted. The circulation of suggestions adopted in this State to the other States' Railways and New Zealand has been continued with satisfactory results. Some of the more important suggestions adopted during the year are as follow :— A device for holding wheel-tyre rivets; a jig for holding axle-box brasses; an improved design of brake-van door runner; the introduction of cast-iron rotary brake valves; improvements to " Pylc headlighting equipment; a method of fencing platforms on single lines; tool for handling rails; a welded type of barrow wheel; alterations to the windows of steel electric cars; an insulated rail gauge; a method of manufacturing cotters; an improved gutter joint; the use of thermionic valve rectifiers for telegraph circuits; and a door-runner for sheep-vans.

Other adopted suggestions have reference to station buildings and yards; additional signals; telephone arrangements; safety guards on machines; rosters for railway and tramway working; improve­ ments to locomotives and coaching stock (steam and electric); jigs for various purposes; the composition of trains; power station equipment; and various alterations to books, forms, &c. Many devices are at present undergoing trial with a view to determining their suitability. Over 600 employees have been seen by the Suggestions and Investions Officer and given opportunities of explaining and demonstrating their ideas, a pleasing feature being the excellence of the drawings and models submitted.

RAILWAY AND TUAMWAY AMBULANCE COKPS. The activities of the Railway and Tramway Ambulance Corps have been well sustained. The interest in first-aid work resulted in the record number of 4,619 employees passing examinations. The effective membership of the corps now numbers 14.293, an increase of 1,178 over tho previous year. During the year there were many instances of practical first-aid rendered by members of the corps both to employees and civilians, evoking commendation by the medical practitioners who subsequently handled the cases. The equipment, which has been maintained in good order and condition, now consists of 1,275 ambulance boxes, 294 first-aid chests, 1,003 stretchers, and 2 surgeons'first-aid chests. 24 NEW SOUTH WALES GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS AND TRAMWAYS.

" SAFETY-FIRST." Interest in the Safety-First movement was sustained throughout the year by means of meetings of the Safety Council, periodical conferences of representatives of the various branches, industrial films, literature, bulletins, and other means. The Safe Working moving pictures are appreciated by the staff, no less than 500 students witnessing the screening of the " Single Line Automatic " picture. Representatives have been appointed at each large centre, and no opportunity is lost to impress upon the members of the staff the importance of the movement. Eight-hundred safety suggestions were submitted by employees during the year.

GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS SUPERANNUATION ACCOUNT, The retrenchment and retirement of officers caused a fall of 2,088 in the number of contributors to the Superannuation Account, the figures being 50,244 at 30th June, 1929, and 48,156 at 30th June, 1930, As a consequence the receipts from the 1J per cent, superannuation deductions made from the salaries and wages of the officers were reduced by £8,232 9s. 2d., bringing the total to £206,938 17s. 5d. On the other hand the expenditure was increased by the abnormal number of retirements on pension, viz., 726, compared with 322 in the previous year; and by the payment of gratuities to retrenched officers whose length of service was not sufficient to entitle them to pensions. The rate of gratuity paid was two weeks' salary or wage for each year of service to officers of less than ten years' service retrenched from the permanent staff and one week's salary or wage for each year of service to those retrenched from the temporary staff. The total amount of gratuities paid to these classes of officers was £46,070 as compared with £5,535 in the previous year. The sum of £206,938 17s. 5d., received from the officers' contributions was therefore not sufficient to meet the expenditure on pensions &c, and it was necessary to obtain a subsidy from the Railways and Tramways Fund of £136,500 or an increase of £76,500 over the subsidy received in the previous year. The cash balance on the Superannuation Account at 30th June, was £13 6s. 8d. The total amount of subsidy received into the Superannuation Account since its inception on 1st October, 1910, is £599,150 of this £402,650 was paid from Consolidated Revenue Account of the State and the balance of £196,500 from the Government Railways and Tramways Fund. The number of pensions in force at 30th June was 3,604 aggregating £298,669 16s. per annum. The Government Railways Superannuation Fund was created by Statute on the 1st October, 1910* The employees contribute 1J per cent, of their salaries and wages. No fixed subsidy by the State was provided for, but the Act empowers Parliament to appropriate in any one year the difference between the employees' contributions and the amount required to pay the benefits. The original Act confined the scheme of superannuation to the permanent staff employees; but, by an amending Act, temporary staff also, with the exception of workman employed temporarily on railway construction duplication and deviation works, and in refresnment rooms, were brought into the scheme from the 1st January, 1917. The principal benefit is the allowance of pensions to employees who retire after ten years1 service, provided they have reached the age of 60 years, or upon compulsory retirement at an earlier age due to ill- health. Gratuities not exceeding one month's pay tor each year of service may be allowed to those who leave the service owing to ill-health or retirement after less than 10 years' service; refunds of contributions are made in cases of decease, resignation after fifteen years' service with a good conduct record, and dis­ missals for offences not of a serious character. The scheme was on an unsound basis from the commencement. The rate of contribution of 1J per cent, on an employee's wages throughout his active service is inadequate to crea,te a fund sufficient to pay his pension during retirement. The liability was further increased by the fact that the older men in the Department at the time the Act was passed were allowed pensions on retirement based on the whole of their service although they contributed only 1J Per cen* °f their wages for short periods ranging from a few weeks to a few years. For example, an employee, who retired a few weeks after the Act commenced contributed the sum of 3s. to the Superannuation Account and retired on the 1st November, 1910, since which date he has been drawing a pension of £132 per annum. There are many similar cases. For the first few years the contributions received from the employees were sufficient to pay the benefits, but in the year 1917 it was necessary to obtain a subsidy of £7,000 from Consolidated Revenue. The amount of subsidy received each year has been as follows:—• Year. Amount. £ 1917 7,000 1918 30,000 1919 ...... 41,000 1920 ...... 48,750 1921 *•• ...... 1922 ...... 1923 19,100 1924 40,000 1925 66,000 1926 64,600 , 1927 ...... 46,200 1928 50,000 1929 ...... 60,000 1930 136,500 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS. 25

The reason why no subsidy was required in the years 1921 and 1922 was that a*considerable addition in revenue was received from employees' contributions in consequence of the very substantial increase in the basic wage from £3 to £3 17s. per week. Prior to 1929 the subsidies were paid from Consolidated Revenue of the State, but since 1929 the subsidies have been a charge against Railway and Tramway "Working Expenses. The large increase in the amount of subsidy for the year 1930 over the previous year is due to the increased number of pensioners and to gratuities granted to employees who have been retrenched. The amount of subsidy will continue to grow and in a few years the liability on the Government Railways Fund to make up the amount required to meet the benefits will be very great.

ADMINISTRATION. Mr. James Fraser, C.M.G., who was appointed to the Board of Railway Commissioners for New South Wales on the 4th April, 1914, and who held office as Chief Railway Commissioner from 1st January, 1917, requested the Government, owing to continued ill-health, to relieve him of the duties of Chief Railway Commissioner as from 1st December, 1929. Mr. W. J. Cleary, B.Ec, was appointed Chief Railway Com­ missioner on the 1st December last for the unexpired portion of Mr. Fraser's term and for a further term of 7 years thereafter. Mr. James Eraser had a record of 51 year's continuous service for the railways of this State. His work during his long period of administrative responsibility was of great value, not only to New South Wales, but also to the railways of Australia generally. Mr. A. D. J. Forster, Assistant Railway Commissioner, left Australia in March last for the purpose of attending, as the New South Wales Government representative, the International Congress held in Madrid in May, 1930. During his absence he is also visiting England and America, where he is studying the latest developments in railway operation. We desire to place on record our appreciation of the good work done by the staff as a whole, and we - commend especially those who have by care, thought, and suggestion helped to minimise expenditure and improve the working generally. The great faUing-ofi in revenue and the severe curtailment of loan money not only called for economies on financial grounds, but very materially reduced the amount of work to be done and so unfortunately but inevitably led to decreased earnings by the staff; we are, however, glad to acknowlege the high degree of restraint and public spirit shown during what has been for everybody a period of strain, and, for very many, of real hardship.

We have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servants, 26
