REPORT OF THE VICTORIAN RAILWAYS COMMISSIONERS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE. 1957.

VICTORIAN RAILWAYS, Commissioners' Office, Spencer-street, Melbourne, 23rd October, 1957. To the Honorable the ·Minister of Transport. SIR, In conformity with the provisions of Section 99 of the Railways Act, 1928 (No. 3759) we have the honour to submit our Report for the year ended 30th June, 1957.

The results of operatiDg the railways, electric tramways and road motor services under our control ·were as follows:- £ s. d. REVENUE 37,497,814 18 5 WORKING EXPENSES 39,356,644 12 7 DEFICIT ON CURRENT OPERATIONS 1,858,829 14 2 £ s. d.

---~-.. ~-- DEFICIT . . 5,192,735 2 11

Total revenue was £315,500 more than in 1955~56 caused chiefly by the fulJ year's operation of higher country and suburban fares and miscellaneous charges introduced in November, 1955. The gross increase from suburban passenger traffic, refreshment services and miscellaneous sources was £934,400 which was offset by a reduction of £618,900 in revenue from country passenger, goods and livestock traffic and certain other items. Compared with 1955-56, working expenses increased by £1,089,000. The gross increase was £1,945,000 comprising £1,272,153 for cost of living adjustments paid by direction of the Government ; £200,000 greater provision for the maintenance of tracks and rolling stock ; £150,000 reduction in credits to working expenses on account of sales of scrap materials; £125,000 higher cost of earning additional refreshment services revenue; and £197,847 for various other items. These increases were offset by £625,000 through utilization to the limit of the inereasing fleet of diesel-eleetric locomotives and less working days in the year; £187,000 due to reduced cost of electric power; and £44,000 from other sundry savings, leaving a net increase of £1,089,000. More detailed financial information is given under the heading of " Financial Review". The deteriorating financial position is a matter for very serious eoncern, and unless effective action is taken to control the rapidly increasing and unfairly competitive activities of commercial road operators, to which reference is made under the heading" Competition", the State will continue to be burdened with increasing railway deficits and increasing road maintenance eosts without any compensating benefits.

Much has been done by reducing rates and improving services to counter competition from uncontrolled road operators but the carriage by road, under the guise of interstate haulage, of true intrastate traffic is st1ll having a serious effeet on railway finance. 6

Truckloads of motor car bodies from South Australia at General-Motors-Holden's Works at Dandenong. Road transport concentrates traditionally on the carriage of the more valuable commodities. The ra\lway rate structure is historically based on relatively high rates for the more valuable commodities to balance the very low rates :fixed in the interests of development and the community generally for primary products and traffic of comparatively low value. The higher rated sections of the rail price structure are therefore ·continuously vulnerable to road competition which forces rate reductions in these categories with the serious :financial impact referred to above. Appendix No. 23 on page 69 shows details of the tonnages, &c. of individual categories of goods carried and indicates the incidence of railway freights. For example, while the main bulk commodities carried viz., wheat and other agricultural products, fertiiizers, briquettes and coal, comprised 60 per cent. of the total tonnage of goods hauled they produced only 42 per cent. of the total goods revenue. Increases in the lower rates would restore the balance but they would have to be so substan!Jial as to affect the marketing of these commodities both for local consumption and export. This in turn would adversely affect primary industry and development generally and by thus reducing rail traffic would fail to produce the required revenue. It is estimated that the goods traffic being carried within Victoria by road for journeys over 50 miles under licence or permit issued by the Transport Regulation Board, and which can be handled satisfactorily by rail, would produce additional revenue of about £2,000,000 if diverted to the rail. To the extent that they are overprovided, the highly subsidized (navigational aids, landing :fields, &c.) air services competing for interstate and some intrastate passengers and parcels have a further significant effect on the railway deficit. During the year steady progress was made with the rehabilitation and modernization of railway facilities to meet the demands of the industrial growth and expanding economy of the State. 7

Improvement plans envisage- • the greater use of diesel-electric locomotives which confer very substantial operating economies ; • improved track facilities such as further duplication of the Gippsland line and crossing loops on a number of suburban lines; • re-organization of workshops with up-to-date equipment; • improved terminal faeilities ; • modern track maintenance plant ; and • new passenger cars and goods vehicles of the la test type.

Additional diesel-electric locomotives, suburban trains and country bogie vans are in the course of delivery from contractors and modern air-conditioned saloon type coaches, together with various types of goods stock, are being constmcted in our workshops and were placed in serv-ice in significant quantities dming the year. Considerable mileages of track are being relaid to give more comfortable travel and permit higher speeds. The cost of many of these essential works and equipment is high, and therefore availability of loan funds is a limiting factor in the task of modernizing and rehabilitating the railways. In recent years the railways have not received the loan funds required thereby severely retarding the work of improvement. Accordingly, many projects of undoubted economic value have had to be defmTed or carried out at a reduced rate to accord with the funds available. Moreover, with the allocation of funds on a yearly basis forward planning of major works, which are usually long term projects, is rendered difficult with consequently higher ultimate cost. For example, in the year under review loan funds totalling £11,303,000 were needed for essential works for the efficient operation of the railways ; the amount allotted was only £7,400,000-£600,000 less than in 1955-56 when the amount received was substantially leas than required. 8

Of the £7,400,000, £4,268,000 was needed to meet firm commitments under contracts for rolling stock and other equipment on order, ·with the result that the balance severely restricted the progress of new and essential development works capable of showing substantia] economies.

This shortage of loan funds for the year under review necessitated ordering ten ] ,800 h.p. main-line diesel-electric locomotives on the basis of deferred payment extended over four and half years instead of over the delivery period of about two years. However, the increased operating efficiency and the earlier realization of the operating savings from the units justify the extended payment plan, despite the small increase in the overall cost of the locomotives. Goods tonnage carried during the year was 8,935,464 tons, 191,749 tons less than m 1955-56 due mainly to the highly competitive conditions referred to. Because of the excessively wet winter in 1956, a considerable acreage could not be sown and many crops were affected by water-logging. Consequently the wheat harvest was almost 6 million bushels less than in 1955-56. The overall quantity of wheat hauled-1,290,910 tons-was, however, only 17,498 tons less than in the preceding year due to most of the "carry-over" of the previous season's harvest being moved from the district elevators to the main bulk storages. The lower wheat yield, combined with the effect of floods in country districts, caused a recession in trading which reduced the volume of general goods consigned. Superphosphate requirements were not adversely affected by the poor seasonal conditions, the quantity carried, viz., 524,506 tons, being 515 tons more than in 1955-56. The continued retention of stock on properties resulted in the total livestock traffic, 445,235 tons, being 34,335 tons less than in 1955-56. Country passenger journeys declined from 5,584,493 in 1955-56 to 5,149,793 in the year under review, although considerable additional passenger traffic was carried in connexion with the Olympic Games. This decline of 7 · 7 per cent. continued the trend of decreases in country passenger traffic evide11t in the past three years.

Passenger traffic to interstate stations and Victorian border areas has also been adversely affected by road competition as well as by reduced air fares. Competitive reductions made in rail fares to Victorian stations in the border districts have not succeded in preventing loss of patronage. To further encourage country passenger travel, facilities for booking have been provided at 116 selected suburban stations and have attracted additional business. Also it is intended to authorize private travel agents to handle rail reservations, both int,ra and interstate, on a commission basis. To facilitate booking arrangements a central reservation bureau has been established in the Administrative Offices.

The predominant cause of the loss of country passenger traffic is undoubtedly the use of private motor cars, the number registered in Victoria having increased by 264 per cent. since 1946, and by 135 per cent. to 522,100 since 1950, ·when petrol rationing ceased. This form of competition is most difficult to combat. The private car's convenience and its increasing acceptance as a community amenity seems to preclude consideration of relative cost, on which a publicity campaign has recently been initiated.

With stable economic conditions the number of private cars on the road will progressively :increase and our efforts to provide faster and more attractive and comfortable facilities will be continued with the object of retaining existing patronage and attracting additional traffic. However, the financial outlay involved is being closely scrutinized in view of the long term overseas experience of the economics of rail passenger transport affected by the same basic cause.

Suburban passenger journeys totalled 162,255,068, 1,131,020 more than in the previous year due to the increased traffic induced by the Olympic Games. This traffic, like other public transport in the suburban area, has also been adversely affected in recent years by the use of private cars, particularly on an informal group hire basis. 9

Since the discontinuance of petrol rationing in 1950, suburban passenger journeys have decreased from 173,869,302 in 1949-50 to 162,255,068 in 1956-57, or 6·7 per cent. Over the same period, the population of Melbourne and suburbs has increased from 1,294,000 to approximately 1,600,000-a rise of 24 per cent.

It is clear, therefore, that substantial traffic has been lost to private cars, although the growth of industry in the outer suburbs and the provision of more comprehensive shopping facilities in those suburbs have also resulted in loss of traffic. The trend is being combated to some small extent by provision of parking areas for suburban patrons particularly in the outer suburbs, amounting currently to over 1,000 spaces, with plans for substantial increases. At the same time, suburban travel demands have changed. The growing population in the developing outer suburbs involves a greater proportion of longer distance suburban travel and this imposes operating problems during the peak periods because the track facilities serving many of the areas limit the service which can be provided. More trains are also required for peak period operation because of the longer turn-round. The following graph mustmtes the steady increase in suburban journeys over six miles in distance and the gradual df'A;rease in jonrneys undf'r six miles.

As detailed elsewhere in this Report, work is in progress to increase track capacity on several suburban lines so that, with the new trains being put into running, improved services can be provided. Increased traffic in the outer suburbs h'1s also necessitated the provision of four new stations. One--Oak Park on the Broadmeadows line-was opened during the year, but progress could not be made with the others due to limited funds. For similar reasons, a number of other essential works to facilitate suburban train running had to be deferred. A traffic innovaLion, directed towards further operating economies, was the elimination of steam locomotives by the" T" elass (900 h.p.) branch-line diesel-electric locomotives for practically all operations between Traralgon and Orbost. " L " class electric locomotives operate between Melbourne and Traralgon, the terminus of the electrified Gippsland line, and " T" class locomotives are utilized for all services beyond Traralgon except for the daily goods train_s to Sale . and Maffra an.d specials s~ch as ballast trains. C?verall, five diesel-electriC locomotives now provide, at considerably less cost, serVIces on the Traralgon-Orbost section which previoru;ly required nine steam locomotives with their associated expensive fixed facilities. 11

One of the traffic highlights of the year was the successful handling of the greatly increased traffic, estimated at over 1,000,000 passenger journeys, in connexion with the Olympic Games held in Melbourne. Extra interstatB and country trains including organized special trains for schools were run throughout the State. Suburban services were augmented and adjusted as required, particularly to meet the dispersal from the }lain Stadium at the conclusion of each day's events when, in most cases, the movement coincided with the end of the evening peak period. The results achieved throughout the period of the Games were highly satisfactory, the concentrated passenger traffic being conveyed without mishap or disruption of normal services-a typical example of the railways' inherent capacity and ability to handle extraordinary traffic demands while continuing to meet normal day-to-day requirements. Financial Review. The operations of the year resulted in a deficit of £5,192,735-an increase of £H22,055 compared with that of the previous year-which was brought about as follows:- £ Increase in Working Expenses 1,088,439 Increase in Interest, &c., charges 149,139

1,237,578 Less~-improvement in Earnings 315,523

Hetrogression 922,055

The increased revenue was the result of the following :- £ £ Increases- Suburban passengers 642,000 Dining cars 18,500 Refreshment services 93,900 Advertising 6,500 Bookstalls 46,800 Rentals, &c. 110,600 Road motors 16,100 934,400 Decreases- Country passengers 71,400 Goods and livestock 524,000 Electric tramways 21,€00 }:fails and miscellaneous 1,900 618,900

Net Increase 315,500 £600,000 of the increased suburban passenger revenue came from the full year effect of increased fares which operated from 1st November, 1955, while an increase of a little more than a million passenger journeys (largely contributed by additional traffic arising from the Olympic Games and therefore non-recurring) accounted for the remaining £42,000. On the other band, country passenger journeys declined by 434;700, resulting in a loss of revenue of £71,400 despite the increased traffic resulting from the Olympic Games and the full year effect of the November, 1955, increases above referred to, which should have resulted in increased revenue of £285,000 if the previous year's traffic bad been maintained. The increased receipts from refreshment services and rentals were mainly attributable to an inereased scale of charges adopted during the currency of the previous financial year. The loss of revenue from goods and livestock traffic can be ascribed almost wholly to the intensified activities of road operators. A considerable volume of goods continued to move interstate in both directions without restriction and large tonnages moved under permit or "as of right" authority. These matters are dealt with more fully elsewhere in this report under the heading of " Competition ". 12

Total working expenses were £39,356,645-an increase of £1,088,439 on the preceding year. The expenditure under the various Branches and major sections fluctuated as shown hereunder :- I

Net Increase 1,088,439·

This increase was due to the follmving :-

Full year effect of cost-of-living adjustments, &c. 1,296,300 Increased maintenance of tracks and rolling-stock 200,000 Reduction in credits to working expenses from sales of scrap material 150,000 Refreshment Services-cost of earning additional revenue 125,000 Payment to certain Municipal bodies for road rehabilitation on former tramway routes 97,900 Additional cost of pensions 42,000 Provision of malt containers for new traffic 18,800 Migrants' overseas fares .. 9,500 Ex-gratia payments to certain Government and municipal bodies for maintenance of bridges on dismantled lines .. 5,500 1,945,000

Less- Operational and other savings because of less working days in the year, and from the additional use of diesel traction 625,000 Redueed cost of electric power 187,000 Stores Branch--mainly on account of a non-recurring book­ keeping adjustment in the previous year 40,000 Reduced expenditure on electric tram>vays (£22,000} offset by increase on road motors (£18,000) . . . . 4,000

856,000

Net Increase 1,089,000 13

The increased working expenditure resulting from variations in wages was 5·2 per cent. of the previous year's wages bill, compared with 5 · 4 per cent. in 1955-56. Depreciation assessed for the year on the book value of the assets was £1,945,859. The total credits into the Railway Renewals and Replacements Fund amounted, however, to only £480,000, including the minimum statutory contribution of £200,000. The lack of earning capacity sufficient to make proper provision for this Fund compels the use of non-interest bearing lto the Railways but not to the Treasury) loan funds for replacement of assets. The solution clearly is to give the railways adequate protection from unregulated competition thus permitting them to fully utilize their modern equipment and increased capacity. Mainly because of the additional loan expenditure charged during the year, the Interest, Exchange and National Debt Sinking ]'und group of charges increased by £149,139. Capital Expenditure. The amount allotted by the Treasury for capital expenditure for the year was £7,400,000 and the amount actually expended was as follows:- £ Additions and Improvements to 'Vay and 'Vorks 2,046,812 Rolling-stock, equipment, machinery and other works 312,288 Construction of new lines, &c. . . 3,317 Supplement to the funds available under the Railways Stores Suspense Account 300,000 Replacement (rehabilitation) works 4,744,407

7,406,824

Non-Paying Branch Lines and Services. During the year the Joint Transport Research Committee, compnsmg the Co-ordinator of Transport and representatives of the Transport Regulation Board and this Department, investigated the operation of branch lines to determine the economics of catering for the traffic offering, by rail or road transport, and, as a result of its investigation, approval was given for the following lines to be closed:- Clarkefield-Lancefield Birregurra-F orrest Hawthorn-Kew Ararat-Avoca-Maryhorough Passenger Service. For a number of years the patronage accorded the passenger service provided by the rail motor on this line has been so poor that substantial operating losses have been incurred amounting to approximately £6,800 in 1955-56. As the area is extensively served by road passenger services a proposal to discontinue this passenger service, unless greater patronage was extended to it, was widely publicized in the districts concerned without any improvement in the position over an extended trial period. It was therefore . decided th~t there was no lon~er justificati~n for continuing to b~ar the heavy operatmg losses mvolved,. and the rml motor serviCe was accordingly withdrawn after 4th May, 1957. Alternative passenger transport was provided by a private road service between Maryborough and Ararat.

Hawthorn-Kew Bus Service. This service was introduced in 1939 to replace the passenger train service on the Hawthorn-Kew line, which then continued to be operated for goods traffic only. In recent years the patronage of the bus service steadily decreased due to the greate; use of private c~rs and the availabi~ty of alternative transport. During the year 1955-o6, the t?tal earnmgs of the bus servi?e. were very low and the operating loss over £2,000, and w1th no prospect of traffic bu1ldmg up to a payable level the service was discontinued after 2nd November, 1956. 14 East Kew-East Camberwell Bus Service. This service was substituted in 1927 for the train service which previously had been operated on the Deepdene line. The route, primarily a cross-country one, is in an area served to some extent by trams and the bus service, following the current pattern in the metropolitan area, has lost patronage due largely to the increasing use of private motor cars.

The business offering, except in the peak periods, was so poor and the operating losses so relatively heavy that it was decided to reduce the frequency of the service as from 18th March, 1957, with a consequent saving of more than £9,000 per annum.

Electric Tramways. St. Kilda-Brighton. This tramway was opened in 1906 and for many years played an important part in the residential development of the area between St. Kilda and Brighton. In recent years, however, despite the dense population of the area served by the tram, patronage steadily declined, the number of passengers having fallen from a peak of nearly 7,000,000 in 1944-45 to less than 3,600,000 in 1955-56, and approximately 800,000 less than the immediate pre-war figure.

The fall in traffic and the rapidly increasing costs resulted in substantial losses in operation, which during the past five years totalled over £276,000, an average of more than £55,000 per annum.

The track and road-bed required urgent renewal at an estimated cost of £650,000, an uneconomical proposition in v-iew of the consistent operating losses and the progressively decreasing traffic. Futhermore, due to poor initial drainage, those sections of the roadway under the control of the City of Brighton were rapidly de·ooriorating. Therefore, agreement was reached with the City of Brighton to discontinue the tram service between Head-street, Brighton, and the terminus at Brighton Beach. Legislation was subsequently passed authorizing the dismantling of the line, the cost to be borne by this Department, which will also pay to the Brighton City Council the sum of £195,000 to cover the cost of restoration of the road.

The first stage of the scheme, viz., discontinuance Qf the tram service between Park-street and Brighton Beach was given effect to on 1st January, 1957.

Sandringham-Black Rock. The route was opened for traffic in 1919, and except during the war and early post-war years financial losses in operation were regularly incurred.

Rehabilitation of the tramway, estimated to cost £200,000, had become an urgent necessity, but the expenditure of such a sum on a service which had no economic prospect was not justified.

After protracted negotiations with the City of Sandringham, it was agreed by the Government that a bus service be substituted for the tram service and that, subject to the passage Qf authorizing legislation, the tram line be dismantled and the roadway made good. In this latter respect, the Council would be paid the sum of £100,000 in consideration of the Commissioners being relieved of liability for remaking and maintaining that portion of the roadways on which the tracks are located.

The tram service was discontinued on 5th November, 1956, and the bus service commenced the same day by diverting the departmental Sandringham-Beaumaris bus service to run via the tram route to Black Rock. 15

Legislation providing for the dismantling of the line and for the restoration of the roadways was passed in May, 1957 (Act No. 6072).

Fares and Freights. Conforming to Governmental policy, no general alterations were made m fares and freights during the year.

Special cheap fares have been in operation for country return travel on Sundays for a number of years and, with a view to stimulating this traffic, concession fares for family travel were introduced on 2nd June, 1957, whereby children under 16 years of age accompanied by adults are carried at a quarter of the adult fare. Previously half fare was charged for children under 14 years and the effect of the concession is that, in a party of one or more adults and two children under 16 years of age, one child is carried free. So far this concession has not achieved any material increase in the volume of traffic.

Substantial losses have been incurred in recent years in operating the Balranald line. Fertilizer traffic has been particularly unprofitable as the cost of carriage greatly exceeded the revenue obtained. Moreover, local landholders in the area served by the line obtained their superphosphate supplies by rail, taking advantage of the very low rates applicable to that commodity, but patronised road services for the conveyance of the more valuable classes of goods, the higher rail rates on which are designed to assist in offsetting the poor return from the carriage of superphosphate and other low-rated goods.

In order to provide a rate for superphosphate more in keeping "\vith operating costs and to enable the Department, with the additional revenue gained thereby, to meet road competition by reducing the rates on wool, &c., certain increases in tariff rates were introduced at stations \Vomboota to Balranald inclusive on 1st December, 1956.

Competition. Although the forwarding agents' bulk truck load scheme, L.C.L. containers and contracts at incentive rates made with individual merchants and manufacturers were effective in retaining some traffic to the rail, the volume of general goods traffic continues to be adversely affected by a considerable quantity of goods being carried interstate by road without restriction and by large tonnages still moving within Victoria under permit or under "as of right" authority.

Melbourne-Sydney traffic in both directions is conservatively estimated at 1,000 000 tons per annum worth at ruling road rates approximately £8,000,000. '

Following on the High Court's decision in October, 1956, permitting the road carriage of goods to Victorian towns by the subterfuge, within the legal prescription, of haulage across the border and back again, substantial reductions have had to be conceded in rates to many border and adjacent tov.'IlS to meet road competition. Reductions up to nearly 50 per cent. below tariff rates were granted on the north eastern line as far south as \Vangaratta (45 miles from the border). This in turn necessitated reductions on adjoining branch lines to avoid traders on those lines being at too great a disadvantage compared with those at main line stations. 16

Similarly, the operations of pseudo interstate road hauliers are now extending to the north-western and south-western districts. In these areas, much traffic fotmerly carried by rail from Melbourne is being diverted to road from Adelaide, lower commodity prices applying in Adelaide, due to the existence of price control in South Australia, having some bearing on this competitive situation. In order to counter this competition, reductions in freight rates were made to certain stations.

The decision of the High Court in April, 1957, unanimously upholding an appeal by Tasmanian road operators against State control of the carriage of fruit by road in Tasmania, after it had been received by sea from Melbourne, is also a matter for serious concern. This decision could affect interstate traffic to or from Melbourne, Geelong and Portland by sea and allow road hauliers to move such traffic throughout the State without Transport Regulation Board controL

We have always accepted the objective view that there is a place in the State's transport sphere for road transport, but we are firmly of opinion that this should be in co-ordination, not in competition with the railways, particularly on long hauls.

In recent years, Parliament has authorized heavy expenditure in rehabilitating its essential rail transport system which now has the capacity to handle the substantial volume of traffic diverted to road in the early post war years when this system was unable to meet all demands.

"\\nile this capacity is not being fully utiliz0d, the State is called upon to bear the very heavy cost of road maintenance caused by the increasingly large numbers of road vehicles regularly engaged in intra-state and interstate goods and passenger traffic, many of which are overloaded and operate at excessive speeds in their efforts to compete.

Olympic Games Arrangements. There was a considerable increase in rail passenger journeys during the Game!:!, the heaviest traffic occurring in the period 19th November to 1st December, 1956.

Extra trains were run from and to Sydney and Adelaide and the max1mum accommodation was provided on the regular intercapital services. Most secondary schools and many primary schools throughout the State secured block bookings for athletic events at the Main Stadium (the Melbourne Cricket Ground) and over the period of the Games more than 32,000 children were carried from the country in 54 special trains. Over 13,000 packaged meals were provided by the Refreshment Services Branch for children on the special trains returning from the Games.

Special trains brought rowing and canoeing teams from Ballarat for the Opening Ceremony of the Games and for the final movement of competitors from Ballarat to the Olympic Village at Heidelberg. Other specials were run between Melbouxne and Ballarat for the public attending the events on Lake Wendouxee.

A special subuxban timetable was operated on Thuxsday, 22nd November, 1956, in connexion with the Opening Ceremony, nearly half of the 100,000 spectators who had booked out the Main Stadium travelling by raiL 17

Passengers leaving a special train at Jolimont to attend the Olympic Games.

Over 20,000 school children in the suburban area were conveyed to and from Richmond and Jolimont stations throughout the period of the Games, the heaviest day being 28th November \Vhen 6,000 children were carried.

Special fares were fixed for travel associated with the Games. Cheap day return fares to Melbourne, and from Melbourne to Ballarat in connexion with events held on Lake 'Vendouree were applied for either day return journeys or for periods covering the duration of the Games. Special day excursion fares applied for travel by guaranteed special trains.

Victoria's wide variety of scenic attractions was featured at a photographic exhibition held during the period of the Games at the Kodak Gallery. A large number of Yisitors attended the exhibition.

The Victorian Government Tourist Bureau played a very prominent part in assisting visitors, particularly by seconding staff to the Olympic Organising Committee to arrange accommodation, and to Olympic Village for the benefit of competitors. During the Games, interprete-rs in French, German, Italian and other languages were available at the Bureau in Collins-street.

Visit of the Duke of Edinburgh. For the second time within three years, the Victorian Railways had the honour of providing a special train for His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, who came to Victoria to officially open the Olympic Games. Ducing the period of his visit, the Duke of Edinburgh travelled from Melbourne to Morwell and Maryvale by the special train. 9315/57.-2 18

Standardization of Rail way Gauges. As a further step towards standardizing the railway gauges of Australia, a Committee, consisting of members of the Senate and the House of Representatives, under the Chairmanship of \V. C. Went\vorth, Esq., M.P., was formed in March, 1956, to consider the practicability and desirability of unifying the railway trunk lines in Australia. The Committee's task was to ascertain whether a limited scheme, confined to the main trunk routes, could be evolved which would confer a major portion of the benefits of standardization without the present day enormous expenditure involved in the full conversion schemes previously advanced in the Clapp Report of 1945. Mter close investigation, the Committee recommended in October, 1956, that standard gauge (4' 8f) lines be provided between the following places:- (1) Wodonga-Melbourne-estimated cost £10,000,000. (2) Broken Hill-Adelaide via Port Pirie-estimated cost £13,500,000. (3) Kalgoorlie-Perth-Fremantle-estimated cost £18,000,000. 19

So far as Victoria is concerned, the recommendation envisages the construction of a new 4' 8f' gauge track alongside the present single track between Wodonga and Mangalore ; the conversion to 4' 8!" gauge of one of the two existing tracks between Mangalore and Broadmeadows and Broadmeadows and Albion, and a combination of new track and conversion of existing track between Albion and Dynon and Spencer Street Station. Centralized traffic control with automatic power signalling would be provided for the whole route. The unification of gauge between Melbourne and Sydney has the strong support of the New South Wales Railways, this Department and the respective Governments. Elimination of the break of gauge at .Albury will confer many advantages on rail users, including more econ01:nical operation, faster delivery, less handling of goods and consequently less damage, as well as cheaper packing, on the freight side, and an accelerated passenger journey which should improve the competitive status of rail with air. Overall transport costs between Sydney and Melbourne would be substantially reduced, and the railways would be placed in a sound position to attract a mueh larger share of the highly competitive traffic generally on this route. The Commonwealth Government agreed to contribute £25,000, supplemented with £25,000 from the State Government, towards the cost of surveying the route of the proposed standard gauge line, and contracts were let for aerial and altimetric surveys of the area. A commencement was made with the design of station yard layouts. It is to be hoped that a satisfactory financial arrangement can be reached with the Commonwealth so that construction of the line may proceed at an early date.

Naming of New Type Suburban Trains. At a ceremony at Spencer Street station on 14th September, 1956, the new type suburban trains were named " Hanis " in honour of a former Chairman of Commissioners, Mr. N. C. Hauis, C.M.G., D.S.O., M.C., M.Sc., l\1. Inst.T.

Mr. N. C. Harris responding during the ceremony to name the new type suburban trains in his honour. 20

Mr. Harris, who was Chairman of Commissioners from 1940 to 1950, evolved the railways rehabilitation plan-Operation Phoenix--which provided for the purchase of the new suburban trains, diesel-electric locomotives, the duplication and electrification of the Gippsland line and other items which have resulted in substantial operating benefits to the Department.

Passenger Train Services. Country. In order to provide more attractive travel, particularly for the longer distance passengers, trains between Melbourne and Bendigo, vvhich iH the connecting point for the services on a number of radiating lines, were accelerated from 18th August, ] 956, the reductions in the overall time for the journey ranging from 10 to 20 minutes. :From 25th SeptemLer, H)56, the frequency of running of ·'The Daylight", introduced in March, 1956, between Sydney and "Jfelbourne on 3 dayi-l per week was increased to 6 days per week, viz., Monda.vs to Saturdays ineJusive.

"Spirit of Progress " and "The Daylight " passing at Longwood.

To provide a faster morning service to ::\lelbourne from the rapidly expanding Gippsland towns of Traralgon, Morwell, Moe and \Varragul, the "up'' morning Sale train {from Bairnsdale on certain days) was altered, commencing 4th February, 1957, to run express from Warragul to Melbourne, resulting in a reduction of 30 minutes in the overall time for the journey. An additional stopping train was scheduled between 'Varragul and l\Ie1bouxne. A school children'::; t>erviue was introduued between Tynong and vVarragul on 5th February, 1957, to cater for approximately 300 children attending schools at Drouin and Warragul who previously travelled by road.

On 23rd June, 1H57, a diesel rail car service was commenced between Melbourne and Wangaratta to cater, in conjunction with the local road service, for tourists visiting the Harrietville district at weekends during the snow season.

Four new type saloon passenger coaches were placed in running during the year, adding to the fleet of modern air-conditioned passenger cars which are enhancing the comfort of country train travel.

Suburban. :Further " Harris " suburban trains plaued in rurming enabled improved services to be introduced on the Broadmeadows and Dandenong lines, and also on the Upper Ferntree Gully line in conjunction with duplication of the track between Bayswater and Lower Ferntree Gully.

The special services provided in connexion with the Royal Agricultural Show in 1956 conveyed 226,981 passengers-39 per cent. of the total attendance at the Showgrounds. This was 41,673 passengers, or 16 per cent., less than in the preceding year due to the drop in attendance and the greater number travelling by private car.

Rail travel to the metropolitan race and night trotting meetings totalled 533,300 passengers, a decrease of 75,884, or 12 per cent., compared with 1955~56, which reflected the general decline in attendance at those events.

Despite these overall improvements, the state-wide passenger patronage IS most disappointing.

The volume of paying goods traffic i.e., excluding materials carried for departmental purposes, and livestock, totalled 8,935,464 tons, 191,749 tons less than in 1955~-56. The reasons for the lower tonnage have been fully explained in the introductory section of this report.

Livestock traffic amounted to 445,235 tons, 7 · 3 per cent. less than in the preceding year.

Country passenger journeys totalled 5,149,793. This traffic has, as previously mentioned, been seriously affected in recent years by the increasing use of private motor cars. Suburban traffic has been similarly affected over the same period, although other factors have contributed to the decrease, including continued " customer resistance " to the higher fares introduced in November, 1955.

The length of the average suburban passenger journey increased from 8·56 to 8·73 miles. The longer distance which, in recent years, a progressively greater proportion of suburban passengers travel to and from the outer suburbs involves the railways in additional work in terms of passenger miles. The following graph shows the gradual increase in suburban passenger miles since the early post war years compared with passenger journeys, which have declined by almost 9,000,000 since 1947-48.

Operating Results. Goods and livestock ton mileage was · 5 per cent. less than in the previous year, the effect of the lower tonnage carried being largely offset by the greater average distance the traffic was hauled. The following is a comparison of the relevant figures for the past three years :-

- 1956-57. 1955-56. 1954-55.

Overall, the operating results were satisfactory. Gross ton miles, i.e., the overall haulage task, were ·47 per cent. less than in 1955-·56. This volume was conveyed with 1·13 per cent. fewer traffic train miles. 24

The average gross load per mile was 5H4 tons-a record, and the average contents load increased by 2 to 258 tons. The most far-reaching improvement was the decrease in goods train standing time per 1,000 miles from 19·6 to 17·7 hours (9·7 per cent.). This significant reduction was a major factor in the increase in miles per goods train hour (4·1 per cent.) and the gross load hauled per train hour, which rose by 3 · 6 per cent. to 6,550 gross ton miles. The consequent saving in engine power represents a substantial saving in working expenses. Duplication, regrading and electrification of the Gippsland line have resulted in greatly improved goods train performances. In 1949~50, the average load per engine on the "down" journey was 593 tons, and the average miles per train hour were 8·4. Respective figures for 1956-57 were 891 tons and liH) mile;.;. Similar irnprovement was shown in the results for "up " journeys.

The Wheat Harvest. In the 1956~57 season, the area sown with wheat was 1,565,220 acres and production was 35,282,188 bushels, 576,190 acres and 5,800,883 bushels less than in the preceding season. The average yield per acre was 22 ·54 bushels compared with 19 ·HI bushels in 1955-56. An excessively wet season in the State's wheat belt caused the loss of production as farmers in the Wimmera and the North Eastern districts were not able to smv their usual acreage and most crops were affected by water-logging or late sowing. The season's crop was the smallest since the drought period in 1944-46. Wheat railed during the year totalled 32,285,0:37 hushels, 2,394,636 bushels leRs than in the previous year. Comparative details of wheat produeed and railed during the past fin· yeai's are as fo1lows :-

New " CP " Class bogie van. 26 Diesel-electric Locomotives. A further 17 900 h.p. branch-line locomotives were received during the year, completing the contract for the supply of 27 of these units. The 67 diesel-electric main line, branch line and shunting locomotives in service have enabled substantial sa·vings to be made in operating costs and faster passenger and goods services to be provided. It is undoubtedly sound policy to continue to replace st.eam locomotives, as they become worn out, with diesel-electric units, and in furtherance of this policy an order was placed for ten 1800 h.p. main line diesel-electric locomotives, delivery of which commenced in August, 1957. The steam locomotives at present used for shunting purposes include many of the oldest units in service-the average age being over 46 years. :Many of these were not designed for shunting service and more than half will have to be replaced within the next three years. It is accordingly proposed to invite tenders for the supply of 25 shunting units, of diesel-electric or diesel hydraulic type, which will also be capable of utilization for such duties as main line transfers, livestock movements to and from the main marshalling yards, and the running of suburban goods services. In addition, they will permit still further financial savings to be achieved compared with steam locomotives.

Country Passenger Cars. Four new steel saloon type passenger cars were constructed in our workshops. These cars incorporate the latest amenities for passenger comfort such as air conditioning, rotating and reclining seats, fluorescent lighting, public addres':l system and electric razor power outlets. The bogies are of the latest cast steel type with rolJer bearing axle boxes. Plans were completed to increase the rate of production of these cars to eight per yeaT, although some review of this policy may be necessary in view of the serious drop in passenger patronage. One additional corridor car of ·· Hpirit of Progress " type was also constructed.

Suburban Electric Trains. An additional eight new type suburban trains were received and placed in service, making a total of eleven in running at the close of the year. Of the old type suburban cars in use, 268 are over 50 years of age. Mter making provision for improved suburban services it is estimated that completion of the order for 30 new suburban trains now being delivered will enable lO of the oldest trains, a total of 70 cars, to be scrapped. This will still leave in service nearly 200 suburban cars over 50 years old and a further group of 329 suburban cars between 40 and 50 years old. In addition to enabling the introduction of improved suburban services, the 30 new suburban trains being received can, therefore, be regarded as the beginning of a long replacement programme. Arrangements were :in hand to invite tenders for a further 30 new trains (210 cars). This will ensure continuity of supply after the present order is fulfilled at the end of 1958. It will be necessary to retain in service for a considerable time many of the old type suburban cars, particularly the sliding door class, and these are being maintained to a satisfactory standard and fitted with a number of improvements for passenger comfort. Thirty-three east steel type motor coach bogies were substituted for pressed steel type units, thus reducing the incidence of maintenance.

Workshops. Considerable progress was made with the programme of modernizing workshops plant. At Newport Workshops, the delivery of heavy wheel and axle machinery enabled a start to be made with the establishment of a new car and wagon wheel centre so as to concentrate this activit}y in one area. 27

Proposed layout of the new car and wagon wheel centre at Newport Workshops.

Concurrently with the re-organization of the wheel manufacturing facilities, a rationalization of the main machine shops was undertaken.

Additional wood working machinery was installed, including a double ended tenoning machine and high speed routers.

An increase in the plate working potential was achieved with the provisiOn of a a further heavy guillotine, and by the purchase of more automatic welding plant and inert-gas welding equipment.

Modernization of coil spring manufacturing methods was put in hand and special furnaces constructed, together with line-production equipment and improved machinery in this section.

Progress was made towards the mechanization of brake block manufacture m the foundry and a number of items of equipment were ordered.

Hand grinding facilities throughout the Workshops were placed on a safe and efficient basis by the purchase of 50 abrasive wheel machines of modern design.

At Jolimont Workshops the installation of a new 500 c.f.m. air compressor was well advanced and designs were in hand for the re-organization of the wheel machining section.

Country workshops were included in the modernization programme and the establishment of an air cock manufacturing centre at Ballarat was completed, whilst a newly equipped wood mill began operations at Bendigo. Fuel oil reticulation systems were provided at both these workshops and the conversion of the boilers and certain furnaces for operation on heavy oil resulted in substantial savings being realised.

Ylodern flaw detecting equipment for axles was installed at all workshops. 28 Way and Works Branch. :Material supplies were generally sufficient for requirements, particularly in respect of rails, fastenings, sleepers and ballast. 703,703 sleepers were obtained, of which 30,000 were produced at our sleeper cutting project at Nowa Nowa. As in recent years, these were predominantly of inferior species of timber. Because of lack of funds, however, establishment of a sleeper preservative plant at Dandenong had to be deferred.

Eighty-two miles of track-62 miles country and 20 suburban-were relaid. This was 29 miles more than in 1955-56, due mainly to the re-organization of relaying procedure and the establishment of a large gang, mechanized in accord with the best overseas practice, \Vith modern equipment sueh as tractors, rail laying cranes, spike pullers and drivers, air compressors and ballast tamping machines. Special attention is being given to improving drainage and ballast conditions. Further equipment was on order and the relaying gang should shortly be fully mechanized. A second gang will be similarly equipped.

General track maintenance and relaying involved the use of 231,000 eubic ycvrds of ballast, 697,000 sleepers and 12,300 tons of rails.

Increased output of point~ and crossing~:; enabled a co-ordinated programme of renewals to be put into operation, 190 sets of points and 300 crossings being renewed during the year.

Additional track totalling 7 miles was laid on the Upper FerntTec thdly, Glen \Vaverley and Gippsland lines.

Private sidings were constructed at Trafalgar, Portland, l\lilclura, l\lon,·cll 11nd Appleton Dock. Extensions to existing private sidings were carried Oltt at North Shore, North Melbourne and St. Arnand.

Regrading, Duplication and Electrification of the Gippsland Line. 11elaying, duplication and electrification of the line bet,veen Dandenong and :J1oc was continued and double line running now extends from Dandenong to Karre Warren, Berwick to Bunyip and Longwarry to Yarragon.

'rhe installation of overhead wiring in station yard& and related private sidings wa~:> approaching completion.

Power signalling continued to be installed in conjunction with the duplication works. Carrier telephone communication was completed between Melbourne and Trafalgar.

Duplication of Suburban Lines. Construction <;ontinued of the additional facilities planned to enable improved suburban services to be run, the progress made being as follows :--- Melbourne-South Yarra. vVork was in hand towards the completion of four tracks on the wuth Hide of Riehmond station prior to its demolition and replacement with new buildings, &c. R.etaining walls were completed on the southern side b<:tween Swan-street and Punt-road and bPt\\~een S1van and Cuhitt-streetF:.

The abutments and eentral pier for the Punt-road bridge \vere completed as far as possible, con~istent with n::tintaining existing serYices. Oirders fo_r the six spans required at this locatlon \vere recenred and three were erected. FoundatiOn work for the Swan­ street bridge (consisting of 5 separate bridges) was commenced, the abutments for one bridge being completed.

Subways for the ne\v station were well advanced where the work could be undertaken clear of the tracks. 'rhe excavation for the main subway ~was made under the existing tracks and platforms and construction of the walls commenced. Construction of the new Sandringham line platform and associated ramps was in course. Subways under construction at the new Richmond station.

Lt is expected that the first stage of the ·work (two additional tracks and platforms at the new level) will be brought into use in 1958. Because of the necessity to demolish and reconstruct the facilities in stage~> in order to maintain services, the whole of the \York ''ill not be completed until 1H60.

H eyington-Eastma~vern.

Work on the remaining ~:>ections to be duplicated, viz., Heyington--Kooyong and Gardiner-Glen Iris, was well advanced and it is expected that they will be brought into use before the end of ] 957.

A pedestrian subway was provided at Y ork-road, Gardiner, and another commenced at EliL.atcth-street, Kooyn1g. Both are in substitution of ]eve] crossings which will be closed.

Eastmalvern-Glen H·wverley. Duplication of the track between l\:lt. Waverley and Syndal was resumed. The necessary earth works and bridge reconstruction was completed. A pedestrian subway was under construction at lVIt. \Vaverley and platelaying was in progress.

It is expected that the additional facilities will be in use by the end of 1957.

Ringwood--Uppe·r Ferntree Gully-Lilyda1e. The duplicated section between Bayswater and Lower Femtree Gully was brought into use in February, 1957. Construction of the additional platform neeessary at Upper Ferntree Gully was deferred mving to lack of funds. ·

On the Ringwood-Lilydak line, good progre~:>s was made with the duplication of the section between Croydon and :Jlooroolba.rk, which should be eomp]eted early in the eurrent fina.neia.l year.

New Suburban Stations. A new station-Oak Park-bet\'.'een Paseoe Vale and Glenroy was opened for traffic on 13th August, 1956. A station was also provided for General Motors-Hoidens Ltd. at Dandenong East, the cost being borne by that Company. 30

Construction of Laburnum station-between Box Hill and Blackburn-was resumed, having been deferred due to the shortage of funds in the previous year. The building of a new station at Patterson-between Bentleigh and Moorabbin-had also been deferred for similar reasons, and will be further deferred as a result of the decision to proceed with the grade separation project at Nepean Highway and South-road, Moorabbin, which will involve trains passing through the working area at restricted speeds. To have proceeded at the same time with the construction of Patterson station would have involved further speed restrictions with adverse reaction on train timekeeping.

Car Parking facilities for Patrons at Suburban Stations. Additional parking areas for rail travellers' cars were provided dw·ing the year. Twenty-five areas have now been established, two others were under construction, and a further twelve were made available for use although not yet completed.

Dynon Goods Terminal. Enlargement of this recently established terminal continued. On the north side of Dynon-road all work was completed except for minor matters. On the south side of the road, the new shed, 880 feet by 140 feet, was erected and a contract let for the building of the roadways. Further filling was placed and laying of the trackwork was in course.

Cranes. Additional modern electrically operated cranes were erected to facilitate goods handling. Derrick cranes of eight tons capacity were installed at Castlemaine, Hamilton, Horsham, )tJoe, Traralgon and Wangaratta, and five tons post type cranes at Charlton, Mildura, 'Varracknabeal and 'Vodonga.

'fhe gantry crane at )foe, replaced by a new eight ton crane, was reconditioned and installed at Bairnsdale to meet heavy traffic requirements there. An additional gantry crane was in course of erection at Orbost.

Twelve electric hoisting units we:re pm·chased for installation on manually operated cranes at selected locations. :n

Grade Separation. Work i':l well advanced at Frankston-road, Dandenong, where this Department is the constructing authority. At Heidelberg-road, Clift~m Hill, where the work is being carried out by the Country Roads Board, half of the main bridge over the tracks was opened for road traffic in April, 1957, and the level crossing wa<: closed.

Grade separation project at Frankston-road, Dandenong.

Work was commenced on similar projects at Napier-street, Footscray, and Nepean Highway and South-road, Moorabbin.

'rhe cost of all these grade separation projects is being shared b.v the Country Roads Board, this Department and the Level Crossings Fund.

Level Crossing Protection. Further installations of automatic boom type barriers and flashing lights were made' at level crossings at Linacre-road, Hampton, Springva]e-road, Nunawading, and Glemoy-road, Glenroy. Standard flashing light signals were erected at the following crossings :-­ Shepparton, Mitcham, North Melbourne (Cowper-street, and Pigott-street), Scoresby-road, Bayswater, BryaDts-road, Dandenong, and Paisley.

A progTamme, estimated to take three years to complete, was initiated to replace existing level crossing signs with moderu standard refleetorized signs. The eost of the work will be borne by the Level Crossings Fund.

Corio Quay Area. Work continued on the provision of rail facilities to the new Corio Quay area, with access from the main North Geelong yard. Earthworks were practically completed, bridge works were wPll advanoed and the trackwork was in hand. 32

Appleton Dock. Construction of the new Appleton Dock by the .Jielbourne Harbour Trust proceeded. Departmental work on the Trust's property was completed and trackwork for the rail connexion on railway- property was well in hand.

* * * * General maintenance and improvement works wete undertaken within the limits of availabilit.'' of staff and finance, the principal items being the provision of a \vool loading platform and shelter at Geelong, additional siding accommodation at Nowa Nowa, extension of the diesel-electric locomotive depot at North Melbourne, improved ablution and locker faoilities for the staff at various locations, and the overhaul of a number of eountry telephone and telegraph lines to improve communications.

Alterations were carried out at various stations, ineluding the provtsJOn of bic.''cle shelters, reconf'truntion of stockyardH, and rf'-arrangemcnt of the station yards.

Additiong,J mechanical plant for the \ntshing of carriages was in course of i11stallation, and mechanicaJ coal and ash handling facilities were ullder c:onstruction at Gee]ong and Korumburra.

Electrical Engineering Branch. Further progress was made with the programme of replacing ob,.,olete 25--cvcle rotary converter substations with modern 50-cycle equipment, together with the prov1s10n of additional substation capacity, the conversion work in respect of the Caulfield-Frankston-Dandenong lines, referred to in previous reports, being completed.

As part of the eonverl'lion of the Camberwell group of substations, the temporary substation at Lower Ferntree GulJ.r waA replaced b)' a permanent unit.

New tie-stations were placed in ope1ation at Brighton Beach and Spotswood to give increased protection to the overhead equipment.

The conversion from 25 to 50 cycles of the power supply at metropolitan ofhces, workshops and yards, commenced in 1955-56, was further advanced. Nmv 50-cycle substations were placed in operation at Newport \Vorkshops and Degraves-street Subway. Others were in course of construction at Jolimont \Vorkshops and Dynon and the associated work of connecting the distribution circuits was in hand.

Stores Branch. The value of stocks held at 30th June, 1957, was £4,722,276, a decrease of £14,542 compared with the previous year, which may be regarded as satisfactory considering upward price trends and the general volume of construction work in hand.

Issues and sales from stock totalled £16,205,650, an increase of £5:30,242, while the stock turnover was 3.17 compared with 3.09 in 1955-56.

Improvement was shown in the results of the Reclamation Depot at Spotswood, the value of material reclaimed for railway use and sale being £474,361-£16,357 more than in 1955-56.

Supplies of wooden sleepers were higher than last year, 703,703 being received.

Coal. The quantity of <:oal consumed during the year was 186,197 tons. This comprised 185,908 tons of large eoal and 289 tons of small coal, the to~al.cost being £1,171,004. The averaQ'e costs were £6 5s. lOd. and £5 Ss. 2d. per ton respectively, compared with £7 ls. 7d. and £5 17s. 10d. per ton in the previous year. 33

Of the 129,651 tons of coal ret:eived from New South Wales, 106,579 tons were seaborne and the remainder railed from Newcastle.

Fuel Oil.

Consumption of furnace oil was 4~3,284 tons, equal to 10,285,2~3:~ galJonc;, a decrease of 11,305 tons compared with the previous year. The total cost was £457,:369, and the average pnce was £10 lls. 4d. per ton, compared with .£9 per ton in 1955-56.

Diesel Fuel.

The quantity of die;.;(,] fuel oil conHumed m dic-:;Pi-E·lPc:tric lonomotives was 2~~ ,] 45 tons ((),11 0)362 gallons) em,:ting £404,\150.

Refreshment Services Branch. The revenue earned bv the Brar.e;h wa:; £1 ,865.243---£1(5,645 mere than in Hi55-56. Most of thi!:' inereaHe was ·derived from rm~tropolitan stalls (£106,9~:3) and bookstalls (£46,771), while buffet enrs, The Chalet, }lt. Buffa.lo, and the AdvertiH'ng Division contributed to a smaller degree. The grbss increase w11s partially offset, however, by decreases in revenue at country refreshment rooms and the dining e~r on " Spirit of Progress ''.

Hour;; of trading at metropolitan ::;tall:::~ were extended from 7 p.m. tc 11.15 p.m. with sati::;faetory re:,:ults. A new eonfeetioner,v stall was opened at Princes Bridge station in November, 1H56, and a flower :-;tall nn th• Rwaw;ton-!·Jreet Coneoun;e at FJindt>rs-strcet station in April last.

Concurrently with the running of '· The Daylight" between ~Ielbourne and Sydney being increased from 3 to 6 days a week, the service of ligl.t refreshments was introduced in the Lounge Car as an addition to the buffet. car facilities already providefl. An a la earte meal service vvas introdueed in the dining ear on " Spirit of Progress ,. with the object of enabling more passengers to obtain meals in the limited time available during the run between :\Ielbourne and Albury. Four additional drink vending machines, making a total of 16 in servie;e. and four shoe-shine machines were installed on metropolitnn 1>tations. The revenue fro~ aU these machines totalled £22,265 for the year under review. The Chalet, Mt. Buffalo, maintained its attraetion for tourists, the average daily number of guests being 143. An amenities building was provided for the staff and the woodshed which had been destroyed by an abnormal snmvfall was replaced.

Continuance of the Newport Hostel \v:~s no lor~ger JW(·ess::,ry and it \Vas r·h;1;ed m Fehuary, 1957. n:Hi>/:>7.-3 34 Industrial Awards. From 19th May, 1957, the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission increased the Federal basic wage from 40s. lOd. to 42s. 6d. per day without provision for quarterly adjustments according to fluctuations of price levels. The basic wage being paid by the Department at that time was 43s. lOd., it having been increased to that amount by direction of the Government to conform to the movement of the Commonwealth Statistician's '' C" Series Retail Price Index. No further adjustments have been made. Compared with the Federal basic wage prescribed in all Federal Awards covering this Department, the additional wages cost represented by the higher basic rate paid was approximately £1,290,000 for the financial year under review. During the year, the Arbitration Commission granted increased relieving and travelling and incidental expenses, higher rates for junior male and female salaried officers, and some increaPes in marginal rates. Increased nigllt shift penalty rates were also granted under the Locomotive Enginemen's Award. The estimated additional cost of these increases during the year amounted to £43,000. The average annual pa;rment, including overtime and penalty payments, in 1956-57 to a~l officers and employees, including juniors, was £963 by comparison with £942 in the previous year. Staff. Recruitment of staff from the local labour market was supplemented by the arrival of 234 single migrants selected during the previous year by an overseas recruiting mission. The staff position has shown a steady improvement in recent years but there is still a shortage of trained staff in the traffic operating grades and of tradesmen, although the latter were recruited in greater numbers than in recent years. There was a noticeable improvement in the availability of juniors for employment in the service. The intake of apprentices totalled 188 in 20 trades. At the close of the year, the staff (including casual labour equivalent to 402 men working full time) totalled 30,535, compared ·with 29,181 in the preceding year. Public Relations. Work in the public relations sphere, which falls into the two main categories of rail transport and tourism, was broadened by the establishment of television. The same close liaison that already existed with the press, radio and newsreels was extended to the new medium. Early in the financial year, the activities of the PEblic Relations and Betterment Board were concentrated on preparing for the influx of the Olympic Games visitors. Special pamphlets and posters to assist them were issued and included the valuable Diners' Guide produced in conjunction with the Melbourne City Council, which will be continued, and the re-designed Melbomne Map, which is to b~ re-issued. During the whole of the year, a continuous flow of news items was maintained to newspapers and radio stations throughout the State. The press, magazines, radio, newsreels and television stations were also kept informed of approaching happenings of interest that they could cover. Special newspaper and mdio advertising campaigns were undertaken in particular country districts. They were designed not only to consolidate the Department's position and prestige in those areas, but to stimulate passenger, goods and live stock traffic. Increased efforts were made by means of newspaper advertising and posters, to obtain more rail traffic to city and country sporting events. Increasing attention is being given to educating private motorists in the virtues and economies of rai] travel. To tap the wider reader-audience of daily newspapers, regular display advertising, covering rail and tourist travel and public relations generally, was undertaken. 35

Increasing attention was given to portraying the Department's activities in selected exhibitions by means of special displays. Plans were in hand for a display, emphasising the link between primary production and the railways, at the 1957 Royal Show.

Victorian Government Tourist Bureau. The Bureau, Australia's largest travel agency, continued to play an ever-increasingly important role in the Australian tourist field. Revenue at the Melbourne office totalled £1,201,557-an increase of £47,110 over 1955-56. For all offices, including two interstate and four country branches, the revenue was £1,492,633-a tot.al increase of £59,485 largely due to the influx of visitors for the Olympic Games.

Of the total revenue mentioned, £968,312 represented rail travel and £524,321 other activities such as road and air bookings, hotel and guest house accommodation, &c.

The Bureau played an extremely active part in assisting Olympic Games visitors by arranging accommodation, tours, &c., and disseminating a wide variety of publicity material. Suggestions. rrhe suggestions scheme continued to benefit the Department. Nine hundred and forty-seven suggestions were received from the staff and the public during the year. Of these, 81 were adopted and appropriate awards made. Outstanding was an award of £380 (the highest paid for more than 25 years) to a Boilermaker at the Spotswood Workshops who devised a jig for reconditioning crossings released from the track. The significance of the idea is that it prevents distortion of the crossing during welding.

During January and February, 1957, for instance, more than £750, including the £380 mentioned, was paid to successful suggestors.

First-Aid Work. Interest by members of the staff in first-aid activities continued to increase. The number who qualified during the ye~n.- for First Year Certifica.tes (323) and the total number now qualified in fi-rst-aid (8,359) :.tre both greater than in 1955-56. The latter figure indudes 577 holders of the 8th year Gold Life Membership Medl:ll and 960 who hold the 5th year Silver Efficiency Medal.

Aunnal competitions have been more keenly eont.ested, attrading 41 teams involving 155 individual:,;. The Australian Railways Ambulance Competition was held in New South Wales in Ortober, 1956, and was won by the Western Australian Railways team. rrhis Department's team was placed third, as was its entrant in the Individual Championship.

Apart from cases treated in the course of railway operations, many of the first-aiders gave voluntary service during important public events such as the Olympic Games. Victorian Railways Institute. The primary objects of the Institute include the provision of educational, fecreational and social faoilities for railwaymen and their dependants. The year under review was one of substantial pTOgress in attaining these objectives and extending them to new country centres.

Total membership of the Institute was 16,293, an increase of 96 compared with the previous year. Of this total, 14,159 ·were members of the railway sta:ff-195 more than in 1955-56. Enrchnents in most of the (•ducational elaioises conducted at the Institute increased, and there waR also a satisfactory response from New Australian"' in taking advantage of the frer classes in the English language. 36

The library had more than 11,000 borrowers, a third of whom are located outside the metropolitan area. There was a growing demand in the technical reference section which was expanded. A new centre was fermed at Serviceton and the construction of a building for its use vms commenced. Improvements and extensions were completed t{) buildings at Benalla, Bendigo, Dimboola, Ouyen and Shepparton. A contract was let for extensions to the Colac centre, and tenders were being prepared for the erection of a new brick building at Hamilton. Sccial fur

State Coal Mine. The quantity of ccal raised during the year was 105,971 tons. After providing for miners' household coal, mine eon:mmption and waste, the output available for sale was 88,5:)0 tons. The whole of thil'l, \Vitlt the exeeption of 10,492 tom sold to the public, was supplied to the Raihvays. Of this qu~ntity, 36,453 tons of small coal were made available to the State Electricity Commission of Victoria. After payment of working expenses, loan redemption and interest eharges, and allowing £24,975 for depreeiation, the operation of the mine resulted in a loss of £299,204. The amount paid in wages was £621,638, the net average contraet earnings being 92s. 10 · 65d. per miner per shift.

Visits Abroad. The Deputy Chairman, Mr. 0. G. Meyer, left for America on 23rd AuguRt, 1956, to attend the Advanced Management Course at Harvard University. At the conclusion of the eourse, Mr. Meyer spent five weeks in America and Canada studying the latest d~ve]opments in railway matters such as freight terminals, rail road co-ordination by the transportation of road trailers on rail trucks, motive power improvements and economies, &c. Mr. Meyer returned on 30th January, 1957, with much valuable information on these subjects. Mr. A. Geuer, Chief Bookkeeper, returned to Victoria on 7th November, 1956. Whilst abroad on long serviee leave, he investigated. modern Powers machine practices and earried out for the Auditor-General an audit at the offiee of the Agent-General for Victoria in London. The information obtained by Mr. Geuer will be of assistance in connexion with the Powers machine replacement pr(>gramme now in hand.

Changes in Personnel. Three Heads of Branches, having attained the age of 65 years, retired during the vear. They were Mr. G. Rogers, Chief Traffic Manager, on 4th August, 1956; Mr. A. vV. Keown, Superintendent of Refreshment Services, on 17th November, 1956; and xTr. J. L. Timewell, Secretary for Railways on 27th May, 1957. The Commissioners have pleasure in recording their appreciation Gf the loyal and capable manner in which these officers assisted them by the efficient administration of their respective branches. Mr. T. R. Collier, Assistant Chief Traffic Manager, was appointed Chief Traffic Manager from 5th August, 1956; Mr. H. L. Kennedy, Assistant Superintendent of Refresl:ment Services, was appointed Supe1·intendent of Refreshment Services from 19th November, 1956; and Mr. P. Farnan, Chairman of the Staff Board, was appointed Secretary for Railways from 28th May, 1957. rrrirg the absence of the Deputy Crairman in North America, Mr CommisRinncr ~;. Quail \Yae appointed his Deputy, and Mr. G. RogrrB, following his retirement as Chief T~afre M:u•afer, was appoi11ted a Deputy Commissioner. 37 Acknowledgment of the Services of the Staff. It is pleasing to aga;n record om appreei:Hion of the splendid service rende1·ed hy members of t.lte staff throughout the year.

There is ample evidence tl:at our efl'orts t.o give the best service practicable aru appreciated hy the public genemlly and the co-operation and asRistan<:e of tbe staff are essential factors in fostering railway goo(hYill.
