TWENTY-THIRD ANNUAL REPORT FOR PERIOD 1st JULY, 1947. TO 30th JUNE. 1948. The Honourable the Minister for Transport, Sydney. In accordance with the pr.ovisions of section 6 of the Main Roads Act, 1924.45, I have the honour to submit the Twenty-third Annual Report for presentation to Parliament. The report covers the period from 1st July, 1947, to 30th June, 1948, though a few matters referred to are carried beyond the latter d~te for c,onvenience and completeness of record. MINISTER. During the whole period under review, the Honourable M. O'Sullivan, M.L.A., as Minister for Transport, has been in charge of the administration of the Main Roads Act. SECTION 1.- FINANCE. RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS. The total receipts of the Denartment during the financial year 1947-48 showed an increase of £740.000 over those of the previous year. The figures were £4,399,238 in 1946-47 and £5,139,238 in 1947-48. The principal increases were firstly in resnect of the proceeds of motor vehicle taxation (£202,730), and secondlv in respect of receipts from the Commonwealth Government on account of petrol taxation nQt drawn "by the State during certain war years (£398,830) and amounts'allocated for expenditure on proclaimed Developmental Roads (£120,857). The increased receints from motor vehicle taxation were due to the !!"rowth in the number of re!!"istered motor vehicles. These rose by 10.87 per cent. from 358,450 at 30th .Tune, 1947, to 397,410 at 30th June, 1948. The £398,830 received from the Commonwealth Government on account of petrol taxatiQn not drawn by the State during 1943-44 and 1944-45 is an amount voluntarily foreg-one by the State during the war years. New South Wales was the only State which did not draw the full amount of petrol tax due at that time and, following on subsequent representations by the State Government, the Commonwealth Govern­ ment paid the amount towards the end of June, 1948. It will be appreciated that this receipt is a non-recurring one. The amount of £120,857 rereived from the Commonwealth Government for expenditure on nroclaimed Developmental Roads is p,ortion of a total amount of £~82.000 paid to the State during 1947-48 under section 6 (4) of the Commonwealth Aid Roads and Works Act, 1947, for expenditurE' on roads othE'r than main roads in sparsely populated areas. Despite the considerable increase in the number of registered motor vehicles during 1947-48. current receipts from the prQceeds of petrol taxation in that year (£Ul'l1.637) showed only a slight increase over the figure for 1946-47 (£1,310,459) and this was due to the effects of increased restrictions in the use of petrol. 2 Payments on account of {)rdinary maintenance works increased by almost 12 per cent. from £2,217,746 in 1946-47 to £2,482,089 in 1947-48. Due to uncontrollable factors, the cost of carrying out main­ tenance works increased by approximately 15 per cent. during 1947-48, so that less actual work was done in that year than in the previous year. Construction payments in respect of ordinary works rose from £1,080,115 in 1946-47 to £1,326,986 in 1947-48, the increase being 23 per cent. Of that percentage some 14 per cent. represented the uncontrol­ lable rise in the cost of carrying out the works. In addition to the ordinary loan repayments due for the year, a payment of £696,096 was made from the County of Cumberland Main Roads Fund in the liquidation, before their due dates, of certain outstanding loan liabilities of that Fund. This action was taken with a view to the saving of the interest and exchange charges on the loans and having regard to the immediate cash resources of the County of Cumberland Fund. The table hereunder provides a summary of the operations on the roads funds during the year ended 30th .June, 1948. Details of the receipts and payments for the financial year and of the cash available are shown in Appendices 1 to 3. County of Country Develop. Compara- Heading.
