Engineer-in-Chief's Office, GENTLEMEN, , 1st September, I 896. I have the honour to report that, cluring the financial year ending 3oth .June, 1896, two railway lines were under construction, one of which was completed and opened for traffic, while the other was commenced towards the end of the term. The former line-from Jumbuuua to Onttrim-opened on the 5th February, 1896, is 2 miles 32 chains in length, and forms an extension of the branch which runs from the Great Southern Railway at Korumbnrra to ,Jumbunna. The other line commences at Nathalia, the present terminus of the railway hranching westward from Numurkah, aml ends at Picola, a distance of 6it miles. It was commenced Oil the 8th J nne, 1896, and is being cousiructed under the lmtty-gang system. This railway was authorized, under Act 1293, on the 27th February, 1893. The delay in commencement was caused by the lack of the prescribed action ou the part of the local railway trust under the Railway Lands Acquisition Act of 1893, No. 1288. Tho Fra.nkston Cemetery branch, threC-IJHarters en of a mile in lcugth, and the Heidelberg to Eltbam railway, miles, :mthorized on tho 12th December, 1884, and 3rd March, 1893, respectively, have not yet been commenced. The following lines were under survey during the financial year :-

PER;\IA.NENT SURVEYS. Country Lines. Birehip to Mina,pre 32 miles. Frankston Cemetery z! ,

TRIAL SURVEYS. Country Lines. Colac to Beech Forest (2-ft. gauge) Forrest (terminus of the branch lino from Birregurra) to 62 miies (2-ft. gauge) Traralgon to Carrajuug ( z-ft. gauge) 23~ ,,

Since 8th May, I 895, this office luts been intrustetl with the regi~tration of "unemployed" men seeking casual labour, and the selection, from the regitlter, of men required for this ela:;s of labour in various railway works and in all Govemment departments. The total number of men registered to 3oth ,June, 1896, was 12,2 55, of whom 3,0 I 8 were selected for wo1·k; 17 being provided for in the Mining Department, .po in the Public Works Department, and 2,;91 in the Railways. The classes of labour for which these men were engaged were o£ the following kinds:- Labourers... 2,580 Masons 20 Carpenters I47 Sailors I9 Bricklayers 68 .Pa.viors 9 Bricklayers' labourers 62 i:-llater Painters ... 63 Drivers, with horses and carts 2 8 Totfll 3,0I8 Plumbers .. . 21

All ~coking work havo been free to register without any impediment, but undeserving cases are carefully sorted out and remov-ed from the register. 1\fen have to renew their registration after IJeing three months on the books. ~When work is allotted the names are struck olf, all(i further work can onlv be obtained by registering when again idle. • In adclition to the 3,018 men detailed above, men were employed locally on regrading works up country, irrespective of the register, to the estimated number of 6oo. This brings the number of men for whom occupation was found within the Hailway Department up to, say, 3,zoo, and the total number of "unemployed" for whom work was obtained by means of the Railway Department to, say, 3,6oo.

I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant,

* Half-year only. 'l'he inorea~e in renewals is dne to the faet that many of tha lines are now abont the age when the limit of life of the sbepers and iron rails wit.h which they were originnlly lahl j, reached, and until all such lines have been tlcnlt with the cost for renewals will be heavy. All renewals of main lines nre being carried out with steel rails and with sleepers of the best qnality of redgmn, red iron bark or grey box. The incrPa~e in the eost or maintcmmce per train mile is attrilmtahlc p:1rtly to the large qna.ntity of renewals done dnring the past. year nud partly to the fact that the large redncr.ion effected in train mileage has not carried with it a corresponding

Boilers.-The special attention paid to boiler repairs during the last few years has resulted in this work being completely overtaken. The following is a list of the principal work done :-Six new boilers, a new fire boxes, and I new portable engine barrel have been supplied to engines, anJ 120 boilers were examined, retubed, and thoroughly repaired, and a large number of boilers received the periodical tests at country depots . .Axles and Tires.-Thirty-eight new crank axles, 33 engine straight axles, 132 engine tires, and 94 leading and tender tires have been fitted during the year, besides a large number of ear and waggon axles and tires. Baloncing.-This work is progressing steadily. Cool .1'rucks.-The 24 cool trucks made during the year were supplied with an increased thickness of insulation. They were used for the carriage of frozen meat from Deniliquin during the hottest days last summer and completely proved their efficacy, showing that there is no difficulty in transporting frozen meat from inland centres to the sea-board under the most unfavorable conditions as regards weather. Stock taking.-Stoek was taken on 19th July, 1896, of engines, carriages, vans, and waggons. The results are given in Return No. 17· It was found that there were considerable discrepancies between the stock as shown by the books and the actual stock in existence, but every care was shown in the taking of the stock and the figures now given should be considered reliable. Casualties.-! am glad again to report that no casualty of serious nature occurred to any of the trains during the year, which bears testimony to the care and vigilance exercised by those concerned in the running. · I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant,
