VICTORIAN RAILWAYS, 10th September, I 89 5. To the Honorahle tlw Ministe1· cif Railways. SIR, In accordance with the provisions of the 59th section of the Railways Act, No. IIJS, we have the honour to submit, for the information of Parliament, our Annual Report upon the working of the Railway Department for the year ending 3oth June, 1895.
DEBENTl.i'RE CAPITAL. The amount of borrowed capital was, on 3oth June last, £]6,835,o95 4s. 4d., details of which are shown in the Appendix, Return No. Io. The Debenture Capital Account at the close of the year showed an increase of £391,619 7s. 6d. The additional capital consisted of the following amounts allocated to Railways during the financial year :-
Victorian Government Stock Acts, Nos. 1015 and 1341 ... £96,903 14 6 Victorian Loan Act, No. 1296 ... 16o,s6s o o
Victorian Government Stock Act 1895, No. 1369 1341 150 13 0 The latter amount has been raised for the redemption of :Melbourne and Hobson's Bay United Company's debentures. The amount redeemable during the ensuing financial year is £122,ooo. The last of the company's stock, amounting to £31,9oo, will be paid off on the 1st January, 1897·
The interest for the year amounted to £1,437,347 2s. 4d., which, with £22,7 53 2s. 8d., the amount paid by the Treasury for expenses in payment of interest, made the total £1,46o,IOo ss. From this, however, a sum of £10,ooo has been deducted, b~ing the interest on £2 so,ooo transferred from the Railway Loan moneys to "Irrigation Works and Water Supply," Act 57 Vict. No. 1327.
Credit has also been taken for £3 I ,2 53 Ss. 4d., being 3 per cent. on the unexpended balances of loan moneys raised for railway purposes. The net amount AZ 4 debited to the Railway account is, therefore, £r,4r8,846 r6s. 8d., as per following detailed statement :-

The deficiency in meeting the interest charges for the year is, as shown in the profit and loss account, £380,648. The result of working for the year may be summarized thus :- Total traffic .•. £2,581,591 Total working expenditure 1,543,393
NET PROFIT ON WORKING £1,038,198
The ratio of working expenses to gross revenue is 59'78 per cent., and, exclusive of pensions and gratuities ( £8o,2o3) charged to railway working during the year, the percentage is s6·67. The railway revenue reached its highest point in 189o-9I, and for that year the ratio of working expenditure to revenue (after deducting the extra cost of working occasioned by the labour troubles-owing to the coal strike-of the period) was 68 per 5 cent. The revenue for 1894-5, compared with 1890-91, shows a decrease of 22 per cent., and the expenditure after allowing for the extra cost referred to was 3 1 per cent., or a decrease of £695,452. After making allowance for additional pensions and gratuities to the amount of £2,349 in excess of the sum debited to working expenditure last year, the decrease in the cost of working is £92,026. This is in face of the fact that extensive renewals of permanent way have been effected, and that an average of over 1 oo additional miles have had to be maintained and operated. The average rate of interest payable on the par value of all loan moneys allocated to railways is 3·92 per cent. The net revenue for the year is equal to 2'97 per cent. on the total expended debenture capital and 2 ·7 4 per cent. on the total capital cost, and, exclusive of pensions and gratuities, 3·2o per cent. on the former, and 2'95 per cent. on the latter.

REVENUE. The estimated revenue for the year was £2,6oo,ooo, the actual amount realized being £2,58I,591. In view, however, of the uncertain data from which our estimate had to be compiled, and the fluctuation in general business, especially m passenger traffic, we think the near realization of our estimate fairly satisfactory. Until there is a more decided improvement in the condition of the colony generally we cannot hope for any material increase of business, and while the whole fiscal policy of the colony is unsettled, trade will necessarily be limited, enterprise suspended, and the railway revenue consequently suffer. The reductions in freights and fares, which came into operation on the 5th July last year, which were estimated to amount to £4o,ooo, :md were made in the interests of the producers of the colony, to remove anomalies and to meet competition by water and road, have resulted in a diminution of revenue, as shown in attached statement of goods revenue for each year since I 8 84-5. The decrease of goods revenue for I 894-5, as compared with I 893-4, is £33,224, with a reduced tonnage of I6, I03, shows that the loss is less than our estimate, and is less than the reduced receipts ( £48,o32) of 1893-4, in which year there was no revision of the classification. The 8 reductions were justified on the grounds stated, and were made after careful considera tion. We are of opinion that had they not been effected the loss of revenue would have been greater. The serious falling-off in revenue for years past has principally taken place in the passenger business, as will be seen by the following statement. It is evident that the reduced spending power of the people immediately affects passenger receipts, notwithstanding any facilities and inducements that may he offered to stimulate this traffic. Returns of railways of other countries show that their passenger traffic for the last few years has been similarly affected, and is evidence that the world-wide depression has been the cause of diminished receipts from this source.

'Vith the view of having data on which to estimate the eftect of any alteration in rates, we have had statistics prepared which will be found of the greatest possible value in dealing with this and with freight questions of all kinds. From these we are able to state for the first time for years the ton-mile rate at which goods are carried on onr lines. This proves to be 1 · 529d., including terminals, which, in view of the comparatively short haul of goods here, should be considered satisfactory.
THE RAILWAY DEFICIT. The main cause of the deficit, apart from the effects of the general depression, is to be found in the fact that a few years ago a number of branch " cockspur" lines were constructed which have to be worked at absolute loss. In many instances the lines do not pay even working expenses apart from interest. On the maps and schedule in the Appendix certain of these are shown. Under existing conditions in the colony it becomes a difficult problem how to deal with lines of the description referred to. To close them altogether would, in many cases, increase the general loss, and would not lessen the interest which has to be paid on their capital cost ; nor is this proposal one which could be seriously entertained, in view of the fact that they were built by Parliament for the purpose of developing the country and offering facilities to settlers, irrespective of considerations of immediate profit or loss to the Railway Department. "\Ve are continuing to further reduce their working cost to the lowest possible limit compatible with the requirements of the traffic they serve, and, where practicable, the non-paying train service is being largely curtailed. 9
The Railway deficit is not of recent growth, as will be seen on reference to the last columns of the Comparative Return for the last 2 3 years (No. I I in the AppendL.x). '\Ve have in our previous Report pointed out that relatively it is not so great as in many previous years ; and at the present time, when the whole of the surrounding eircumstances are taken into eonsideration, and the causes whieh have vitally affected our passenger revenue, together with the extent of the operations of the Department and the numerous interests it has to serve, the net result will be found to compare very favorably with that of any other large trading or financial corporation. During the whole of the depression existing in the colony the Railways have paid all working expenses and maintenance charges, and have practically declared a dividend of 3 per cent. on the total amount invested by our bond-holders, which now amounts to £36,835,095· The deficit represents the margin (about I per cent.) between that figure and the sum which the State has actually to pay. It should also be borne in mind that we have to pay this interest on the capital cost of main lines which were constructed at great expense in the early years. '\Vhilst we recognise the absolute necessity for reducing the deficit by the exercise of the strictest possible econorny, and the development of business, we are strongly of opinion that the amount with which the State has to supplement the dividend, and which might be appropriately termed the "Hailway subsidy " instead of the "Railway deficit," is more than repaid to the colony by the augmentation of the general wealth of the community through railway construction and by the advantages which the State reaps from the possession and absolute control of its railway system. No criticism is just which ignores these factors, and we should be wanting in our duty if, while we have the administration of the undertaking in our hands, and while railway problems are engrossing so much public attention, we failed to state these facts and give them such prominence as may attach to an official declaration. It must, however, be evident that with a return of prosperity to the colony the Railway deficit will disappear. It is equal to I 5 per cent. of the present revenue, and a moderate revival of general business, equal to that of 18 92-3, should bring more than that amount to the Railway account ; and this increase of business could be transacted without any material increase of the present expenditure.
RoAD Co11PETITION. 'Ve regret to report that notwithstanding the concessions made to meet this competition only partial success has resulted. The direction of the road traffic has changed from one route to another, the general result, however, being that the gross tonnage carted has not increased. We recog·nise that the railways should carry all the goods for the districts they serve, and they would do so were it not that the exceptional conditions continuing to exist in favour of the teamsters, such as cheap feed, and the difficulty of obtaining other work, cause them still to continue their competition with the railways. It should also be remembered that the teams are competing under unequal conditions, as they have no roads to maintain (an item which cost the Department I 2 · 83 per cent. of the revenue last year), and consequently can quote rates that would not be payable to the Department. 10
We had hoped that the proposed legislation on the " Width of Tires " would have partially removed this inequality, but if every team is allowed to carry 9 c"rt. for each inch of tire, as proposed, then the teams at present on the road will not be affected. TnE BoRDER RATES. As indicated in last year's report, a conference between the Railways Commis sioners of New South Wales, South Australia, and ourselves took place in April last, with a view to the adjustment of the competitive rates for the districts served by the colonies. Careful deliberation on the various points took place. With the object of debating every item and having a complete scheme formulated, certain matters were, with the agreement of all parties, only conditionally assented to. It was recognised that there were political aspects of the case-wider in their significance than arrange ments made strictly from the views of those having the management of the Railways -from which the Governments of the various colonies might desire to view the agreement, and as we could not consider the political aspect it was only under the circumstances stated we signed the agreement provisionally. With the exception of the points indicated (which we submitted for the decision of the Cabinet) we considered the agreement a fairly equitable one.
ROLLING-STOCK. We are perfectly satisfied that the whole of the rolling-stock is in a first-class condition so far as the running-gear, draw-gear, framing, brakes, and all the vital parts are concerned. Owing to the want of shelter sheds and protection from the weather, some of our carriages may not present as bright an appearance as could be ·wished. We have arranged, however, for the provision of a large carriage shed at Spencer-street, which is now in course of construction, and will be fitted up with all the necessary appliances and conveniences for the proper housing and attention to the stock. Consequent on the reduction in the number of trains running and to other causes, we have a large number of engines necessarily lying idle, and until business improves they will have to remain so. Want of funds and the unsettled state of the traffic has deterred us from making any large addition to the carriage stock, which, admittedly so far as the older stock is concerned, is somewhat behind modern requirements. CooL TRUCKs AND IcE MAKING PLANT. The insulated trucks which were provided for the carriage of butter and other dairy produce last year gave every satisfaction to the producers, and proved them selves admirably adapted for the work. A plant for making ice for cooling these trucks was also got ready in time, and was in complete working order during the season, and we were thus enabled to provide ice at a low cost, and also to sell ice to fishermen for the cool carriage of fish. We have given instructions for the construc tion of 24 additional trucks, which we find will be necessary in connexion with the transit of frozen meat. There is every indication of considerable expansion of the dairy produce and frozen meat business this year, several companies having their works well under way for the latter commodity. 11
Loco. STOCK-TAKING. At the end of the year we obtained a complete stock of the whole of our rolling stock, tools, stores, &c., of every description. These returns have not been completed, and we are thus unable to append the usual return showing the stock on hand. As no absolute stock of vehicles has been taken since the year 1885, or ten years a.go, it is obvious that discrepancies and deficiencies may and will arise, and that the actual stock may not agree with the register. A very careful registration is now kept of all vehicles added to or taken out of running. All renewals up to the capital value of the old vehicle are paid out of working expenses, but the question arises whether the present or any future administration should be required to make up the deficiency in the capital value of the stock as it now stands and as it appears in the books, which would involve a very large outlay. lVe are of opinion that a fresh start should be made, and the stock, as now arrived at, be taken as the stock to be maintained and renewed in future.
CoAL. We have largely increased the quantity of Victorian coal used during the year, several new mines having opened up, while the older ones have increased their output. During the year arrangements were entered into with the contractors for Newcastle coal to obtain the balance of coal under their contract at the rate of 6o,ooo tons a year at a reduction of 2s. per ton. We have not been able to obtain any reduction in the price of Victorian coal, but have now been enabled to call for tenders, and we hope that this business will in future be placed on a more satisfactory footing than has hitherto been the case.
IMPROVEMENT OF LINES AND GRADES. We mentioned in our report of last year that considerable attention would be paid by us to the above matters. The report of the Engineer for Existing Lines shows in detail the work that has been done in this direction, and every care has been taken in investigating each individual case to ascertain beyond doubt that a reduction in working expenses, to the extent of at least 5 per cent. on the outlay, would be obtained before any work has been proceeded with. The results in connexion with the finished works have so far completely justified the course taken. Besides the advantage gained by improving the lines, it has enabled the Government to profitably employ large numbers of men who were thrown out of work by the existing depression. It will also be seen that the work of replacing worn-out iron rails by steel rails, and the renewal of sleepers, have been of an extensive character during the year. Painting and renovating the more important stations is being proceeded with vigorously, both by contract and by day labour.
YEARLY INSPECTION OF LINES. We have recently completed our personal inspection of the lines as ordered by the Act, and are quite satisfied that the whole of them are in a sound and safe con dition, and that, whilst economy is being strictly observed, it has not been at the expense of efficiency. 12
CATTLE PITS. We are still pushing on with the provision of cattle pits at crossings in lieu of gates. A large reduction of expenditure has resulted from this measure, although in many cases opposition on the part of residents and others to the introduction of the pits has been experienced ; we have testimony that they are now considered of great public convenience. The number of accidents in connexion with these crossings has been infinitesi mally small, probably less than with gate-crossings. The annual reduction of expenditure due to the use of pit-crossings now amounts to upwards of £3o,ooo.
RE-ARRANGEl\UJNT OF METROPOUTk'l" STATIONS. Since the date of our last report, the re-arrangement of the Metropolitan stations has been so f:u completed as to enable us to provide through communication for both passengers and goods between Spencer-street and Flinders-street. This has proved a considerable boon to passengers from the northern suburbs and others, besides greatly facilitating the convenience of working and reduction of working cost. A large proportion of our expenditure is due to the fact that we have to main tain and operate three metropolitan stations, and our energies have been directed towards curtailing the expenditure in connexion with these. Our officers have been engaged investigating this matter for some time; and it is now practically demonstrated that all the Prince's-bridge and Flinders-street traffic can be concentrated at Flin ELECTRIC LIGHTING. It is proposed to extend the electric lighting of the metropolitan stations to some of the suburban stations. It is also practically agreed with the Government to light Parliament House, the General Post Office, and other public buildings from our electric-light plant at Spencer-street, which will, of course, be considerably extended for the above purposes. The State expenditure for lighting the above offices will thus be considerably reduced and the lighting improved. 'Ve have endeavoured to improve the lighting of carriages, without large outlay, by fitting tbem with improved reflectors. This has, so far, given good results at a minimum cost, and we are largely increasing the number of cars so fitted. REDUCTION IN MILEAGE. As as been stated, the reduction in train mileage amounts to 577,854 miles. This reduction has been rendered necessary by the decrease in business, and in the interests of economy. 13 STORES BRANCH. Early in our administration we recognised the necessity which existed for an alteration in connexion with the Stores Branch. In order that the whole stores business of the Department might be thoroughly re-organized and put on a sound footing, the Accountant, under whose nominal supervision it had been placed, was instructed to take a real and effective control of the Branch. New regulations for the conduct of the business have been framed and approved by the Governor in Council, and are now in force. An exhaustive stock-taking is approaching completion, and when the Stores Suspense Account, to which we refer elsewhere, is in operation the Branch will be able to conduct its operations on a better basis than heretofore. 1\Te have arranged that in future the whole of the work of distributing stores to the country stations and~dep6ts will be located at Melbourne instead of at Newport. This will afford a much better check on the supplies from the contractors and save a large amount of unnecessary handling and haulage. The site selected near Spencer street will be most convenient, as the bulk, if not all the goods, will be received direct from the contractors in Melbourne. The land will not be required for any other purposes, and the conveyance of supplies from the proposed position will not interfere in any way with the traffic. Old buildings are being utilized for the purpose, and, in addition to the advan tages instanced above, the present store building at Newport will be set free for the housing and varnishing of carriages, for which purpose it was originally constructed and is well adapted. It is expected that considerable economy and efficiency will result from the above change. SToREs SusPENSE AccouNT. For years past the necessity for the creation of a Stores Suspense Account has been apparent, and we have drafted a Bill and recommended that steps should be taken to have the account established. The Department purchases its stores from various funds-Loans (raised for railway construction purposes) and Votes (from the consolidated revenue). The material purchased for stock is kept in the stores or on the railway grounds at Newport; but it is not possible to ear-mark the goods or to separate the stock in hand (which now amounts to :£671,6 I I) so as to be able to state with accuracy how much has been paid for out of capital and how much from the consolidated revenue. This has always been a difficulty, and necessarily leads to inaccuracies in connexion with the stores accounts. The only absolutely correct and practicable solution of the question would be the establishment of a Stores Suspense Account, to which all purchases of stock could in the first instance be charged. Transfer :wcounts could then be passed periodically, debiting the material issued to the proper funds. The fund would have to be placed in credit by the Treasury. This could easily be done~by transfers of the amounts required from the loan moneys in hand, or from the consolidated revenue. The advance would be recouped by the periodical transfers referred to. Accurate stock of whole of the stores on hand would have to be taken, and when the value is ascertained, the amount should be placed to the credit of the Suspense Account in the Treasury books. After which all 14 purchases of stores, stock, and all material issued from stock would be dealt with through the Suspense Account. It could be surrounded with all the Treasury safeguards at present in operation regarding existing funds, and be so kept that it could be readily audited. The Audit Commissioners have drawn attention to this matter in their last Report, from which the following is an extract:-" The Department has suggested that the necessary legislative authority should be obtained for the establishment of a 'Stores Suspense Account,' to which, in the first instance, all purchases of stores should be charged, transfer accounts to be passed periodically to the Treasury debiting· the material consumed to the proper fund. "\V e concur in the suggestion, as we believe that its adoption will enable us to have a much more complete check upon this very large item of railway expenditure than we can possibly have under the existing circumstances." RAILWAY INQUIRY BoARD. During the year the Board appointed by the Government have been pursuing their investigations, and we have afforded them every information and assistance in our power. AccoUNTS AND STATISTICS. On reference to the Appendix, it will be seen that the forms in which some of the returns have hitherto been published are simplified. Additional useful and interesting statistics are furnished. Photographs, maps, and diagrams are included, all of which will doubtless be regarded as of special interest and utility in view of the attention which is being directed to railway matters generally; and will enable those interested to form a better idea of the business done by the Department, and of the value and character of some of the property comprised in the Victorian Railways system. THE STAFF. A comparative statement is furnished in the Appendix, Return No. 13, which shows the reductions which have been made in the staff. From this it will be seen that the policy of retrenchment initiated by our predecessors has been steadily pursued. Further retrenchment in this direction is still being carried on, but to avoid dispensing with men reduced time is also still being worked in all branches of the Department. The following return shows the Traffic staff employed at stations on the 30th June:- Number of Stations, &c. Tra!i~!:'~~tfi~~ed 53 Goods sidings and platforms Nil. 122 Flag stations ...

We have, however, much pleasure in recording the fact that in the face of these and other very disturbing elements, the officers and the whole of the staff have rendered loyal and efficient service to the State, and we trust the time is at hand when some adequate recognition commensurate with their responsibility and services will be made to deserving officers. We recognise that the number of the staff engaged in supervision and inspection is low, but owing to the energy, care, and assiduity of the officers so engaged it is sufficient for present requirements. We have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servants, JAMES SYDER, T. H. WOODROFFE, R. LOCHHEAD, Acting Railways Commissioners. APPENDIX. VICTORIAN RAILWAYS.

Fencing, gates, cattle pits, &c., were dispensed with wherever possible ; sand ballast was largely used, and station accommodation of the scantiest character was provided. After the lines had been open for some time it became apparent that additional fencing was necessary; the :\atimuk and Goroke line has now been fenced throughout, and the Boort an PERMANENT SURVEYS.

Railway Department, Office of Engineer for Existing Lines, GENTLEMEN, :Melbourne, 26th August, I895· . I have the honour to report that during the year ended 3oth June, I895, the way and works of the VICtorian Railways were efficiently maintained, while at the same time every effort has been made to avoid doing any unnecessary work. There were 9! miles of single line of way renewed with steel rails taken from new stock during the year as against I 4 miles in I 893-4, and 6~ miles in I 892-3. In addition, 46J, miles were re laid with steel rails, which are nearly new, taken from sidings and replaced where necessary with second-hand iron rails. The number of sleepers used for renewals and repairs was 13I,695, as against 82,278 in 1893-4, and 7 5, 77 4 in I 892-3. ·The following table gives the cost of maintenance of way and works for the past year as compared with the year I 893-4 :- Average Miles of Main Une Maintained.

The general re->nrangernent of the Metropolitan stations at Spencer-street and Flinders-strcet, with temporary approaches to the latter, >nts partially completed aml opened for through suburban and goods traffic, on the 17th December, 1894· The advisability of carrying out fnrther extensive alterations and improvements and amalgamating the Prince's-hridge and Flinders-street stations has been under considera tion for some time, and definite recommendations will shortly be made on the subject. Heavy floods occurred in the N orth-westcrn and We;;tern (Ustricts in October, I 894, and caused considerable damage te the lines between Ararnt and Avoca, Ararat and Wal Wal, Ararat and Hamilton, and Allansford to Warrnambool and Port Fairy. The damage in all cases was repaired without serious interruption of traffic. The work of improving the gradients so as to en~tble heavier loads to be hauled and reduce the breakage of couplings, &c., was commenced on portions of the Gippsland and Great Southern lines between Caulfield and Korumburra in October, 1894, and completed in January last, at a cost of about £4,800. Similar works were in progress at the end of the past financial year on the following lines-North-eastern, between Essendon and Seymour, estimated cost £1;,ooo; and Bendigo and Korong Vale and portion of Kerang line, estimated cost £9,300. This work of regrading the lines is being carried out with tho twofold object of reducing working expenses and providing employment. Between 8oo and 900 men were engaged on these \Vorks during the past year, a few of whom were surplus hands from the Traffic and Locomotive branches, but the great majority were drawn from the ranks of the unemployed. The system of substituting cattle pits for gates at public road level crossings has been further extended, the alteration having been made at 407 crossings during the last financial year. Since June, 1892, when the system was inaugurated, 989 gate crossings have been converted into tmttle pits, by which a saving has been made in gatekeepers' wages ofabont £32,000 per annum; and in addition a considerable number of gate-houses have been made available for use elsewhere, many of them being removed and re-erected where required as quarters for station-masters anll others ; while the houses which are not suitable for that purpose are being sold as opportunity offers. The following new lines were taken over during the year for maintenance from the dates named :- Line or Section. Length in Date when Mo.intenance .Miles.

The eof\t of oil for the ear and waggort etock has now been reduced to 1 • 74d. por axle-box per annum, and the number of axle-boxes running hot has heon considerably less than 1 per cont. per annum. Coal.-The consumption of coal por train mile will be seen by the accompanying table:- Average per Percentage Year. Train Miles. Train Mile. Victorian Coal lbs. to total Coal. 91-92 I I ,807,677 45'9 8·3 92-93 Io,ns,I 34 46·6 I7'8 93-94 10,145·307 49' 5 53'4 94-95 9,567,453 5I· 6 64·8 A reduction of zs. 5d. !t ton was made in October of last yea.r in the price of :Newcastle coal. Tenders are now being invited for the supply of Victorian coal. 22 Handling of Ft~el.-The whole of this work is now let by contract. Water.-Considerable attention has been paid to the supply of water for Loco. purposes, with a view to reducing the cost. I have been in communication with varions Water Trusts and other bodies who supply uR with water, with the result that in some cases I have obtained concessions in rates. Repairs.-These have been considerably more extensive in character than in previous years. The following are the principal that have been executed during the year, viz.:-190 engines, 192 cars and vans, and 311 waggons have received heavy repairs at the Newport and Port Melbourne shops; and about 300 engines have been lifted and overhauled at country and other depot>:~, besides a large amount of work in connexion with the more frequent and systematic examination of axles, motions, tires, boilers, &c. The repairs to the above waggons were in nearly all cases practically rebuilds, and very extensive repairs have been effected to the older carriage stock. All light repairs to car and waggon stock arc now executed at Melbourne, and this accounts for the lesser output of repaired stock from the workshops. This is found to be a more economical and expeditious course than to send light repairs to Newport. A consider able amount of engine work, such as increasing the water capacity of tenders and providing new pad-boxes, has also been done. Upwards of 34-,ooo carriages, vans, and waggons have been oYerhauled at Prince's bridge, Spencer-street, and Flhulers-street, and light repairs effected. Five thousand aiHl fourteen truck covers have received hei~vy repairs, and 627 new covers supplied and charged to Loco. expenses; a large number of hatch covers, trolly, roof, anu canopy covers, and crane hoses have been made. A considerable quantity of interlocking and signal work, repair of staff boxes, and other work has been executed for the Existing Lines, Traffic, and Telegraph Branches, and for the Defence Department. The work for the latter Der:artment includes extensive alterations to gun carriages and hydraulic recoil cylinders, &c. Special attention has been paid to the repairs and improvement of carriage locks and fittings, with a view to economy and prevention of accidents. The whole of the draw gear of vehicles is annealed, thoroughly tested and examined as it passes through the shops and strengtheneu where required. New v;ork.-Forty-eight cool trucks for the carriage of dairy produce were constructed at Newport, and 4-8 sets of under-frames, running gear, and timbers prepared for similar trucks made by contract. A record of the cost of the trucks made at ~ ewport was carefully kept, and it was found to be not more than the cost of those built by contract. In addition to this, 5 louvre trucks were constructed, 3 cars converted into ABD's, and one (I) car was converted into an FE' horse box. One (I) of the N class engines, for use on branch lines with small traffic, was converted so as to provide through communi cation. Shelter Sheds for Cars.-~ow that shelter sheds are being provided for the protection of carriages from the weather, more economy and better results will be obtained. Special efforts are being made to ensure that the carriage stock shall, iu future, present a better appearance as regards painting, &e. Boilers.-It will be seen that considerably more boiler work has been executed this year than hitherto. The followin:r is a list of the principal work done :-Eleven new boilers, 2 new barrels, one (I) new fire box, and one (r) new pumping engine boiler have been supplied to engines, and 127 boilers were examined, retubed, and thoroughly repaired, and a large number of boilers received the periodical tests at country depots. The hydraulic cranes and other machines and gear fo1· boiler work are being proceeded with. Axles and Tires.-Twenty-four new crank axles, 24- engine straight axles, 103 engine tires, and 84- leading and tender tires have been fitted during the year, besides a large number of car and waggon axles and tires. Balancing.-The wheels of a number of the new "R" and "Y" class engines have been balanced with satisfactory results. The remainder are being done as they come into the shops. Cool Trucks.-Ninety-six cool trucks were provided for the butter season; 4-8 were made at Newport, and 4-8 provided by contract; the trucks are cooled by ice, and have given every satisfaction. A plant for the manufacture of ice was erected at Spencer-street, and 820 ton~ of ice made and supplied to the trucks during the season. It will be necessary to provide more trucks of this description to cope with the butter traffic and for frozen meat. 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 ruunin g. Instruction Books.-The whole of the Branch rules and regulations and circulars issued have been collected and revised and printed in book form, and a copy issued to every employe in the Branch. Stock taking.-A very careful stock was taken on 3oth June last of the whole of the engines and other vehicles, and tools and stores of all descriptions. The checking of these has not yet been completed, and I am therefore unable to furni::;h the usual return showing the rolling-stock in existence at 30th June, but this will be afterwards printed as a separate document. A very careful registration is kept of all alt,erations and additions to rolling-stock, :md it would be more satisfactory if the present stock were accepted for the future, and the Branch only required to keep it intact and not to make up the deficiencies of former years out of working expenses. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, T. H. WOODROFFE, Chief Mechanical Engineer. The Victorian Railways Commissioners.
