Finance.

The financial result of operating the railways was a defic]t of £I,478,S64., which is £441,567 greater than that of the previous year, and the greatest in the history of the Department. Fundamentally, the reason for this disturbing result is the serious decline in revenue due to the collapse of business generally. .

This deficit is practically equal to the whole of the income taxation of the individual taxpayers of the State as assessed for the year 1930. The enormous burden thus imposed on industry constitutes a problem of the gravest importance to the country.

On a population basis, however, our deficit per head was less than that of the railways of any other Australian State. It was equal to r6s. 6d. per head, and the next to it .was that of 'Vestern Australia-£379,000-which was equal to r8s. rd. per head. In this connexion we would compare our results with those of the London and North­Eastern Railway Company, which is one of the four large railway companies in England and which has a capitalization, including both shares and bonds, of £3JS,J64,704. The return theremdor the year 1930 was z. 98 per cent. The return on our interest bearing capital-£JS,Z53,2IZ, which is all represented by bonds-was 3· o8 per cent.

These comparisons, however, do not in any degree minimize the gravity of the situation, especially as it appears quite certain that until the State hasrehabilitated its economic condition, nothing but a substantial loss can be expected from the railways system, with a capitalization built up in years when traffic was increasing and rendering it capable of handling a greatly increased volume of business.

The revenue, £ro,o89,884, was in round figures £z,ooo,ooo less than in the previous year-'---a decrease unparalleled in all the previous experience of the Department. Even this, however, does not convey the full measure of our difficulties, as the revenue of the previous year was itself more than a million pounds below that of the year before. The decrease in the two years-1930-31 as compared with 1928-29-was £3,I73,000.

Under other headings of this report we have given a somewhat detailed analysis of the decrease in the various divisions of traffic, but it is pertinent to this section to mention that the country passenger traffic in the year under review was less by zor,ooo passenger journeys, or 3· 3 per cent., than in 1908-g-zz years ago-when the mileage of line open for traffic and the population of the country were less than those of 1930-31 by 28 per cent. (1,300 miles), and 29 per cent. (534,000 persons) respectively. The goods traffic also declined to a· serious extent. Excluding wheat, the traffic in which varies according to seasonal conditions, the goods tonnage carried in 1930-31 was r,909,ooo tons. or 30 per cent. less than in the preceding year.

The greatest part of the startling decrease in revenue is, as we have said, due to the general collapse of business. Beyond question, however, a substantial part was due to the diversion to the roads of much traffic, both passenger and goods, which otherwise would be handled by rail. Theextent of this diversion is alarming, and under the heading of "Road Motor Competition" we have emphasized our definite view that restrictive legislation is imperatively necessary to control the situation before it gets entjrely out of hand.

It is indisputable that the railways, and the railways alone, must be depended upon for the transport of an overwhelming proportion of the products. of the primary agricultural industries, upon which the. welfare of the State is so largely dependent.

The impairment of railway efficiency constitutes a definite menace to primary production, and cannot fail to re-act against the interests of the whole community. Yet, unrestricted and unregulated road competition is being permitted to undermine the railways, and is already endangering theh efficient and economic operation.

There is certainly not sufficient traffic for two transport systems, and unless steps be taken to prevent the huge depredations of railway revenue which are now bejng experienced and which are' bound to become increasingly serious if restrictive action against the road competitors is not taken \\"i.thout delay, it is our firm conviction that a grave situation will be cre.ated from which the State will find the greatest difficulty in extricating itself, Indeed, we are convinced that no measures taken for the State's

7

financial rehabilitation can be r.egarded as complete, nor can they be. expected to be successful, which do not include the safeguarding of the huge railway investment against road (lOmpetition .. This investment, amounting to mpre than £Js,ooo,ooo, is in danger of being conve].'ted from the State's greatestassetinto a. tremendousliability by the system being deprived of its most profitable traffic, and· we again urge the immediate necessity for remedial measures being taken while there is still time to control the situation before the costs of transport become an intolerable burden upon the whole community.

In a report presented to the recent Premiers' Conference, the Commonwealth Director and the Assistant Director of Development stated that the hope of Australia's rehabilitation is largely ~ound up with the improvement of the primary agricultural industries. In our opinion, it is unchallengeable that the success of railway operation­which is dependent upon reasonable and adequate protection of the railways-is a vital factor towards bringing about this improvement.

In the meantime, everything practicable is being done to adjust expenditure to the conditions which have to be faced. As a result of these efforts the working expenses were reduced by £r,8z8,552 in the year just closed by comparison with those for the preceding year-a decrease of a little more than rg per cent. ·Additional economies are constantly being effected, but it has been utterly impracticable to reduce the total expenses in direct proportion to the unprecedented fall in earnings as it occurred.

Of the reduction quoted above, a little more than £6oo,ooo was due to lower rates of wages, &c. The works programme has been rigorously restricted and, without impairing safety, we. have been obliged to postpone many works which it would have been desirable to carry out had times been normal, and which sooner or later will have to be undertaken. Apart from these two items, however, there have been continuous and successful efforts to reduce expenditure by adjustmg train services and staff arrangements to meet the altered conditions.

Our difficulties have been accentuated by. the increased interest charpes (£88,I2J), and exchange {£r83,863) on inte1est payments in London, but these two items of expenditure are outside our control. .

No statement as to the finances of the railways would be complete without reference to the question of over-capitalization, which has been dealt with more extensively in previous reports. Briefly stated, the accrued depreciation of the property, for which provisi?n has not b~en made,. amount~ to approximately £r6,ooo,ooo, the int~r~st upon which IS a substantial factor m the railway accounts. We are strongly of opm10n that the amount of this depreciation should be ·written off~that is; that the depreciation which accrued in past years should not be a charge against the present railway user, but should. become a charge against· the general community. .

We also invite attention to our references in previous reports to the non-provision of an adequate Depreciation Fund, also a Reserve Fund to stabilize the financial position of the Department by providing for losses in lean years. These are matters which should be grappled with when the economic crisis has been passed.

Finally, because of recent representations which have been made on the subject, we think it necessary to make.reference to the question of reducing fares and freights. The substantial decrease in rates of wages, &c., by which the Department is benefiting, undoubtedly creates a prima facie reason for a request of this nature, and we appreciate fully the desirability of effecting reductions, either generally or in part, as soon as circumstances ~ill admit. For the present, however, it is of paramount importance to the State that the losses from the railways should be restricted as much as possible, and we are definitely of the .opinion tha,t unde~. the financial con<litions now obtaining any such decrease would not diminish but would add to the financial difficulties of the State.

For example, a general decrease of ro per cent. would require an increase of II per cent. in traffic .to balance the revenue situation even 'Yithout making allowance for any increased. working costs, before. there would be any improvement whatever in the. net revenue. We do not think that even the most "optimistic could,. under prevailing conditions, regard such an increase as being capable of realization. · ·

Gross Revenue of the Railways. The gross revenue of the railways (exclusive of the electric tramways and

the road motor public services) amounted to £10,oo8,358, which is a decrease of £1,993,448 as compared with the revenue earned in the preceding year, viz., £12,oo1,8o6, or equivalent to a decrease of 16.61 per cent.

Working Expenses of the Railways. A detailed statement of the working expenses (exclusive of electric tramways

and road motor public services) is given in Appendix No. J.

The percentage of working expenses (exclusive of electric tramways, road motor coaehes, and road motor :public goods services, pensions, superannuation, &c.) to gross revenue was 72.43 by contrast with 7 5. 94 in the preceding year, and 71.19 in 1928-29.

Reconciliation with Treasury Figures. TlH' figures relating to the re\'enue in our accounts, do not agree with the

Treasury figures becausP, in accordance with ()rdinary commercial practice, we credit the R(•venue Aecount of each vear with all the moneys which have been Nzrned in such year, whether received or not, whereas in th'e Treasury it is the practice to credit each year with the amounts actually 1eceired during the year.

In the ease of working expenses, the Treasut·y figures include certain interest payments which in our accounts are included iu Interest Charges and Expenses.

A reconciliation is embodied in Appeudix No. I 8.

South Australian Border Railways Adjustment Account. The agreement which was made in 1912 between the Victorian and South

Australian Governments-and which was ratified by Act No. 2424-in connexion with the construction of the lines from Murrayville to Pinnaroo, and from Malanganee to Mount Gambier, prescribed that 40 per cent. of the revenue derived from the conveyance over other lines in either State of traffic originating or terminating on the connecting railways shall be paid into a " pool," and that, after the losses (if any) on working the connecting railways and the Ouyen to Murrayville railway have been paid therefrom, the balance is to be divided equally between the States-firstly, up to a maximum of £5,000 per annum unconditionally ; and then the balance (if any) in the " pool " subject to the proviso that the credit to either State may be revised under certain conditions.

The adjustment in respect of the year ended 30th June, 1930, involved the payment to South Australia of the sum of £998, which has been charged to the working expenses of the year under review.

Under the provisions of the agreement, this system of annual adiustments of revenue ceased as from the close of the year 1929~30, but Victoria will be obliged to pay to South Australia, in such manner as may be agreed upon. a capitalization on a 4 per cent. basisof the average annual profit made by Victoria at the expense of South Australia during the seven financial years ended 3oth June, 1930. The annual "profit" made by one State at the expense of the other is the net railway revenue derived in one State from all traffic entering or leaving such State by wa.y of the border lines, in excess of the net revenue (similarly calculated) derived by the other State.

The &mount payable by Victoria under this portion of the agreement is £236,8oo, of which £2o,ooo was paid to South Australia, and has been charged to the working expenses of the year.

A new agreement between tbe Governments of the two States, which has been ratified by Act No. 3932, came into operation as from Ist July, 1930. Under this alffeement each State will retain, without adjustment, the revenue earned upon its section of the border lines, both of which will continue to be operated by Victoria at the joint expense of the two Departments.

Repayment to Capital in respect of the construction of the North Geelong to Fya:nsford Line.

The construction of the line from North Geelong to Fyansford (which was opened in September, 1918) was authorized by Act So. 2879, subject to the Australian Portland Cement Company Proprietary Limited undertaking to make good the amount by which the annual reveuue from the line is insufficient to meet the working expenses, the interest on the capital cost, and an annual contribution sufficient to extinguish the capital expenditure within a period of fifteen years.

In accordance with the proposal to write off' the cost of the line during tl1e period in question, the sum of £8,422 in respect of the first eleven years had been charged to working expenses and credited to capital account, at Joth ,June, 1930, and a sum of £7.58 was similarly dealt with in 1930-31.

Percentage of Net Revenue to Capital Liability. The net revenue, after providing fi)r the payment of working expeuHes,

pensions and gmtuities undt·r Act . o. 767, the adjustment vvith South Australia in connexion with the Bordt•r Hailwa.ys, paymentH to the Superannuation Fund, and the repayment to capital account in respect of th~~ .\ ortl1 {;eelong to Fyansford Line, was equivalent to J.o8 per ctmt. of the total loan liability, as comphced with J.Jo in 1929-30.

Credits under the Provisions of Section 102 of Act No. 3759, &c.

Provision is made in section 102 of the Railways Act rgz8 that any losses incurred in respect of the working of new lines of railway, or any increase of expenditure or decrease of revenue occasioned by a direction given by Parliament or the Governor in Council on a matter of policy, shall be notified in writing by the Commissioners to the Auditor-General, and, if certified by him, shall be provided by Parliament in the Annual Appropriation Act, and paid to the Commissioners.

The amounts for which credit is taken in the finances of the year under review, were as follow :-

The loss incurred in connexion with the operation of certain non-paying lines (vide pages I 2, I 3 and I4)

The sum paid to South Australia in respect of the operation of certain border railways (as referred to on page 9 )' .•.

The amount of the preference granted on goods of Australian manufacture pursuant to a direction given by Parliam~nt ...

The loss incurred in connexion with the reduction of IO per cent. in freight charges for certain classes of agricultural produce, &c.

Pensions and Gratuities.

£

The amount paid in pensions and gratuities {to ex-employees or to their dependent relatives) was £195,210, a decrease of £6,661 as compared with the preceding year, in which £2o r ,87 r was paid. These figures relate to payment of pensions, &c., to employees who were in the service at the date of the passing of Act No. 767 on 1st !\ovember, 1883, and not to pensions under the Superannuation Act which came into operation as from Ist January, 1926.

The amount payable under the old pensions scheme has already passed it~ peak, the figures having shown a decline for each of the past few years, and in the ordinary course the cost of this scheme will gradually fall until it eventually disappears.

On the other hand, the full effect of the Superannuation Act will not be felt for a number of years to come. Payments under the latter Act for the year ended 3oth June, I 930, amounted to £I 92,481, and for the year ended 3oth June, 1931, to £230,278, an increase of £37,797· It is estimllted that the figure will increase to approximately £4oo,ooo per annum in eleven years' time, and that the combined effect of the two schemes will then he somewhat in excess of £45o,ooo, as against £425,488 in the year under review.

In 1896 provisiOn was made, by the passing of Act No. 1439, that where Parliament authorizes the construction of any new line which does not produce sufficient revenue to cover the interest on its cost of construction and the expense of its maintenance, the annual loss shall be notified to the Auditor-General, and if certified by him shall be provided for in the Annual Appropriation Act and paid to the Commissioners. A similar provision is now embodied in section 102 of the Railways Act 1928.

Separate accounts have accordingly been maintained in respect of each line constructed since 18g6, and such lines (where a loss is sustained) are generally referred to as the " non-paying" lines, although there are also other lines the operation of which, even in normal times, results in loss.

The operation of the following no?--paying lines for the twelve months ended 28th February, 1931, after the payment of working expenses and interest charges, resulted in a loss of £185,859· The amount for which, in respect of non-paying lines, credit has been taken in the revenue account in accordance with the provisions of the Railways Act is £160,203, as shown hereunder.

The loss (£r85,859) in the working of the lines included in the above statement was £21,475 less than in the preceding year, and if certain lines which were non­paying in 1929-30, but not in 1930-3I, are taken into account the figmes for the latter year show an improvement of £24,627.

This improvement, although assisted by the reductions in wages, &c., is the outcome of the careful and detailed watch which has been maintained on the operation of these lines. An indication of the value of these efforts is afforded by the fact that the improvement of £24,627 was achieved in the face of a revenue decrease of £21,863, and an increase of £3,6rr in interest charges. In other words, a reductio!' of £5o,ror had to be made in the working expenses to produce the result shown.

CoUNTRY PAssENGER TRAFFIC.

The fall in country passenger journeys, from 7.547,240 to s,go6,2g3, represents a decrease in the year of no less than 2I per cent. This severe retrogression by comparison with the preceding year was mainly due to the financial depression, which was most strongly reflected in this section of traffic, and to the competition of" five-seater" cars.

In the following graph is shown the rise and fall of the country passenger business since rgo7-8. In that year the number of passenger journeys was 6,I07,745, and the figure for I930-3I, viz., 5,go6,293, is the lowest for the whole period of 24 years covered by the graph.

It will be seen that the number of passenger journeys increased rapidly and consistently from 1907-8 until the outbreak of the war, and after a check during the war period, it again increased to a maximum of 10,263,863 in 191g-20. The subsequent fall to the present level represents a decrease of 42 per cent.-the cumulative effect of the competition of private and service motor cars and of the present financial stringency.

Reference to the graph will show that the average number of miles travelled per passenger showed a fairly steady advance from 47 ·37 miles in 1907_,..g to 58.2 in I928...:29, though there was a decrease to 56.30 miles in I929'-30 and to 55 ·99 miles in 1930-31. The overall increase is attributable partly to the construction of new lines into the more remote portions of the State and into New South Wales, and partly to the fact that the influence of motor traffic is more severely felt in respect of comparatively short journeys than in respect of journeys involving substantial distances.

Owing to the same reason, there was a decrease during the year in the number of registrations of automobiles and commercial vehicles (buses and trucks), the number at 30th June, 1931, being 143,636, as compared with 153,856 twelve months earlier. This decrease is, of course, negligible by comparison with the growth in the number of such vehicles since 1921, which is shown in the following graph :-~

The number of private cars showed a decrease from I25.3I5 at 30th June, 1930, to n6,568 at the close of the year under review.

The composition of the country passenger traffic, as well as its volmne, has undergone marked changes of recent years. Thus, while the total passenger journeys decreased by 41 per cent. in the ten years from rgzo-zr to I930-3r, the type of traffic carrying the highest fares (first-class single and return tickets) decreased by over 70 per cent. in the same period. Second-class single and return tickets showed a decrease of 42 per cent., which, while much less than the first-class figure, was still slightly over the general average. First-class periodical tickets fell by 34 per cent., and weekly workmen's tickets decreased by 14 per cent., whereas second .. class periodicals showed an increase of rg per cent.

The marked decrease in weekly workmen's tickets between rgzz and rgz6 was attributable principally to the decline in mining in country districts.. The subsequent increase in this .class of traffic was. ascribable to a reduction in the fares in the 21-27

mile zone from Melbourne in rgz8, but depressed conditions led to a substantial decrease in I93D-3I.

In the case of second-class periodical tickets, also, the increase was in a measure due to the introduc~ion of weekly periodical tickets in the 21-27 mile zone in rgz8. Here again the adverse conditions resulted in a decline in 1930-31.

It will he seen that first-class travel has suffered more severely than second-class. No doubt the use of private motoi: cars has affected the first-class substantially more thari the second-class figures, but there has also been a drift from first-class to second­class travel, which was especially pronounced in the year just closed, due to the adverse economic position.

SUBURBAN pASSENGER TRAFFIC.

The financial position, and the associated unemployment, had a marked effect on the suburban traffic, there being a decrease of zo,8zz,go4 passenger journeys by comparison with the previous year. · ·

In the graph hereunder is depicted the development in the suburban passenger traffic from the year 190]-08, (68,799,68o passenger journeys) until 1926-27 (160,154,499 pa-ssenger journeys), and the retrogression since that date to a tot~l of 128,748,gz7 in 1930-31.

It will be seen that, except in the years affected by the war, the increase in passenger journeys was steady and substantial until 1923'-24, but during the next three years this class of traffic was almost stationary, and it has shown a reduction ii1 the last four years .. Taking into account the fact that the metropolitan population has been increasing, the figures are evidence of the activities of competitive modes of transport, · although ·allowance has to be made for financial conditions in the last two years, anrl. especially in 1930-31.

During recent years, the COJ)lposition of the suburban traffio hascbeen undergoing changes similar-to, though not so marked as, those talcing place in the country traffic. This is. indicated by the following graph, showing the percentage increase or decrea.se_ in passenger journeys made by the use of the various types of ticket:.....,-

A movement from first to second class since 1924 is clearly indicated, but the relativity of the various curves has been affected by the introduction of weekly tickets in June, rg28. This increased the "periodical" figures, and correspondingly decreased those relating to single and return and weekly workmen's tickets.

Other factors contributing _to alterations in the composition of. the. traffic .are the. increased proportion of travel from the outer residential areas, ;where there. i~. a tendency to second-class t-ravel because of the fares payable for the lqnger dist~tnce;. the acute industrial depression, affecting the weekly workmen's. issues; and the increasing use of private motor cars, the .influence of which is most marked in respect_ of first-class traveL

A striking illustration of the existing sta~ation of trade is furnished by the :heavy falling-off in the goods· business in the year·ju.st closed, in which the tonnage of

· goods carried was lower than in 1917-18, and was one-third less than in 1926-27.

22

The pronounced decrease since the latter year is .attributable to two causes­financial_ depression and road competition. The effect of the latter is confined largely to thi:drigher~rated classes of goods, to which the railways look for a tnarginbf pr,ofit to counteract the exce~dingly lo'! ch~rges on soil }erti~e~~~ prima,ry products, &c. The tonnage of goods m these h1gher:-rated classes; which m 1922--'23 amounted to 455,207, fell in 1930-31 to 230,999, or a decrease of 49 per cent.

Building operations, and road construction and maintenance. have been sub­stantially reduced, and this is evidenced by the tonnage of timber, stone, and sand, which showed a decrease of 61 per cent. as compared with last year.

Other; low grade qommodities in Classes "lVI '' and "A/' .also hay, ,gtraw, and chaff, coal and coke, and fue\vood showed substantial decreases ranging from 10 per cent. to 50 per cent.

· In consequence of the low price of wheat, the unfavorable weather conditions for sowing, the difficulty of finance and consequent reduced wheat acreage for the comi.pg season, a large decrease of: 43 per cent. in the revenue from manure required for the current year's wheat was .experienced.

A very noticeable feature of the graph, particularly in respect of the. goods ton­mileage, is the series of peaks occurring at fairly regular intervals. These are due mainly to. the. e:ffect of weather conditions upon the wheat .harvest, which, in turn exercise~ an infiue:p.ce upon the general traffic as representing the relative prosperity of the community. For example, the. peak of 1916-17 in the goods ton-mileage was the result of a record wheat traffic, including a large carry-over from the. preceding year,· when a quantity of wheat had to be stacked in the country owing to a lack of shippingfacilities. ·. · .

. The fact that the.ton-mileage for 1930-31 shows a retrogression and not a peak, although the wheat ton-mileage was 226,915,783 as compared with 207,510,133 in 1926.;...27, serves to ~mphasize the very serious decline which took place in 193o-31 in the ge:O.eral goods business. This business failed to react to the influence• of a good harv~t as, in previoiiB years, owing to the financial position. .

The goods ton-mileage is the actual .reflex of the volume of traffic, as· it takes into account the average haul as well as the tonnage carried. The average haul, as will be seen from the graph, has been the subject of wide fluctuation, being influenced by the variations; in the wheat traffic to a greater extent than is the goods tonnage. This is due to the fact.that.the average haul ofwheat (190.8 miles in 193o-3r) is substantially more than that of all other classes of goods traffic combined (99.02 miles inr930-3r).

,;\·

The av~rage haul of wheat is itself the subject of appreciable variation. In 1926-27, wheat on \in average was hauled 173. r miles, as compared with 146 miles in 1927-'-28. · It rose again to 173.7 miles in 1928-29, fell to 147 miles in 1929-30, and reached its maximum (190.8 miles) in 1930-31. The decreases in 1927-28 and in 1929..:..30 were attributable to the fact that the shortage in rainfall in those seasons was most pronounced in. the remoter portions· of the State.

The retrogression in the percentage of actual to authorized loads of goods trains in 1930-31 was largely due to the depressed trade conqitions, as a result of which there was a marked increase in the extent of " empty " loading in the " down " direction. In the case of the passenger train loads, the decrease was the tesult of the close watch maintained upon the car mileage, the loads of trains being reduced wherever the falling off in traffic admitted. ·

The avoidance of unnecessary train milea,ge, by making the greatest possible use of the capacity. of trucks and of the available tractive power, is one of the essentials in economic workin,g. It is interesting, therefore, to contr;ast the increase ·in the train mileage over a period of years with. the increase in the business dealt with. · This contrast is presented in the graph hereunder, in which the business is repre~ented under. two headings which cannot readily be equated into one unit, viz., passenger miles and goods ton-miles.

The· train mileage . curve represents all classes of running, and cannot be .. taken as indicating the individual percentage increase or decrease of any of the different classes of service--country passenger, suburban passenger, mixed, or goods.

In the period, from 1907-8 to 1930-31 the goods busiriess. incr~~sed

by140. 51per ci:mt., and the passenger traffic by 8I. 30 per cent., yet the increase in . tr~;~.in. mile~ge was equivalent to only 58. 72 per cent.

Apart .from the savings in operating cost arising from the limitation ·of train mileage; the better loading and better movement of trucks represent a 'substantial economy .in enabling the business· to be conducted with less vehicles than would otherwise be the case. In the following graph are contrasted, over a series of years, the percentage increa.se in goods ton-miles. in each year and that in the total capacity of the trucks utilized for handling the business. ·

Tlj.e timekeeping of country mixed trains was adversely affected by the reductions in this cl~,tJ3S of service, and bv tbt fact that in some cases these trains were .. utilized to handle additional roadside 'vork, enabling goods trains to be cancelled.

Reductions in Train Services. Because of the acute financial position, and of the heavy and progressive decline

in passenger traffic, we were obliged to exercise a more stringent scrutiny thf).n ever upon the train services, and from time to time to effect curtailments consistent with the times and the traffic offering. · ·

VIe regret the necessity to diminish the facilities previously enjoyed by the travelling public, but the situation demanded that drastic action should be taken. As far as practicable, the services were adjusted in each case so as to meet the most important local needs.

In other cases the passenger traffic had so diminished that in the interests of economy the pro-vision of a regular service for passengers was discontinued, and a goods service only maintained. The lines upon which such action was taken during the year were :-

The section from Triholm to Strzelecki, sl miles in length, was closed for all traffic after 22nd November last, due to the heavy loss incurred and to the fact that the business was insufficient to warrant the heavy expenditure which would have been necessary, particularly for the repair of bridges, to maintain safety in operation.

On the suburban electrified system also the falling off in traffic, although less marked than on the country lines, demanded substantial curtailments . of service, admitting of the withdrawal from regular use of seven complete seven-car trains. Car mileage also has been saved, as distinct from train mileage, by extending the practice of reducing trains from seven cars to four cars, or from four cars to two cars, during periods of the day when the diminished volume of traffic can be satisfactorily catered for by the smaller trains.

As a result largely of the reductions in the scheduled services, the country passenger train mileage (after allowing for an increase of 144,568 rail motor miles) was 543,377 miles less than in rgzg-30, while the mixed train mileage showed a reduction of588,393 miles and the suburban passenger train mileage a decrease of 371,976. These reductions represent a decrease of 14. sr, 27.70 and 4· g6 per cent. respectively, by comparison with the mileage in rgzg-30.

In car miles, a decrease of 5,5g6,J50 was effected in country passenger services, and of 2,521,005 on the suburban electric system, representing reductions of 2:2. 25 and 6. 59 per cent. respectively.

11he full effect of the reductions either in train mileage or car mileage is not disclosed by these figures, as the changes were not operative throughout the whole of the year. The curtailments in service will, therefore, result in a substantially larger decrease in the year 1931-32, which will also be added to by curtailments effected since t4e beginning of that financial year.

The careful and systematic review of the schedules is being maintained in order to secure the utmost degree of economy. consistent with the extent and nature of business available.

28

Petrol;.Electric and Petrol Rail Motors. The introduction of these types of vehicle has enabled suitable and efficient

passenger services to be providAd on a number of lines at a cost very much belpw that of operating steam trains.

During the year four additional petrol-electric rail motor cars (220 horse-power) were placed in regular running on the follovving lines :-

Melbourne-Geelong. Melbourne--Lancefield. Melbourne-Y arram. vVoodend-Daylesford. Melbourne-Vlhittlesea. Melbourne-Seymour.

Ten cars of this type are now in operation. Five trailer cars, specially constructed for use with the petrol-electric cars, were also placed in service on lines radiating from Melbourne, thereby minimizing the use, as trailer vehicles, of the heavier ordinary passenger cars.

The allotment of one of the double-ended petrol rail motors to the vVhittlesea line, to replace a single-ended car and to undertake additional running in lieu of steam trains, has enabled a reduction to be made in the operating costs of the line, besides providing more comfortable travelling.

The Melbourne Suburban Electric System. An extension of the installation of high-speed circuit breakers, which was_ carried

out infive of the manually-operated sub-stations in 1929-30, has now been,completed in the nine manual sub-stations in the inner metropolitan area, .all rotary converter~ and r,soo-volt feeders in these sub-stations now being protected by breakers. The purpose of this type of equipment is to safeguard the rotary converter plant, and limit burning down of the ove:thead equipment in the event of short circuits due either to foreign substance or lightning troubles. · - -

Installation on suburban rolling-stock of the rso electric headlights, which were delivered early last year, has been progressing steadily. At the end of the yelu ror had been installed on trains running- on the Frankston, Dandenong, Lilydale, Ferutre~ Gully, and Hurstbridge lines. ·

_ . The conversion .for pulverized fuel firing of the chain grate fired boilerin No. 2 Boiler House, Newport "A" station, was completed during the year, a dirept~fired unit system hi1ving been installed. Practically. all the installation work has pee1;1. completed, and at present the boiler is undergoing. official trials and tests.

- The installation of two deaerators for conditioning the fe~d water in NeWPort " A " station in substitution for the existing hot wells is now proceeding. The removal of the oxygen a11d carbon dioxide from the feed water, which is the- function of this plant, will materially assist in preventing corrosion in the feect lines, boilers, and turbin.:J ~~ -- - .

Other auxiliary equipment now being installed in the "A" station consists of boiler-testing equipment and night-loading pump, which will feed the boilers during per~ods of abnormally light loading. _ - __ - · ·

The additional mileage of electrified track brought into operation 'dUring the year was .2I milf}s, and the total mileage in operation in the electrified area at the end of June was 439 .or track miles, or 172 ·4 route miles.

. The total number of units generated at NeWPort "A" station during the yea.r was r6g,63r,gr2, compared with I75,994,oo6 in the previous year. · .

29

Way and Wo.rks Branch. The continued financial depression and decline in revenue during the year

necessitated a drastic curtailment of the works programme and a ·substantial reduction in the expenditure on maintenance work. Every care was taken, however, to maintain the permanent way in a condition consistent with the safe operatiun of the traffic. During the year 51 miles of track were relaid, and the tracks were strengthened by 18,787 ·additional sleepers and 3,672 cubic. yards of additional bluestone ballast. In ordinary maintenance 15,634 cubic yards of bluestone ballast and 2,185 cubic yards of gravel ballast were used, 265,427 .sleepers were renewed, and 99 miles of fencing rebuilt.

Newport Workshops. The main building of the new Erecting Shop, which has a length of 410 feet

and a breadth of 138 feet, with a maximum height of 57 feet, was completed during the year and. brought into use on rst June, 1931.

Concrete inspection pits, compressed air, steam, and hydraulic systems, and the usual meal, store, sta:ff, and sanitary accommodation are provided.

The lifting appliances are an important feature, the shop being eqmpped with seven travelling cranes, four having a lifting capacity of 75 tons each, and three of IO tons each. The cranes, which are of local manufacture, are electrically driven, and wm lift the heaviest locomotive in a single operation.

In. design, construction, and equipment the shop is a first class example of an up-to.:.date and efficient Locomotive Erecting, Machine, and Testing Vlorkshop, and considerable ·economy in working is anticipated as compared with the old Erecting Shop with its inadequate and obsolete facilities.

Other New Works. Other works undertaken during the year included the widening, at the expense

of the.,E~sendon City Council and the Metropolitan Tramways Board, of the bridge over .Mt. Alexander-road, Essendon, so as to remove a ~ottleneck in the roadway, and the construction of. three attractive lock-up shops fronting the main concourse at Flinders-street Station.

The shops, which have been let at satisfactory rentals, occupy space which previously formed portion of the Ladies' Vl aiting Room. A new waiting room has been constructed over the tracks at the rear of the shops, convenient access being provided by a corridor from the main concourse.

Re-arrangement of Gangers' Lengths and Provision of Motor Gang Cars. Thirty-eight motor gang cars, of the "Casey-Jones" type, were manufactured

at the Spotswood Vf orkshops during the year, the majority being allotted to various lines. as a further instalment of our policy of providing better facilities for trackmen in travelling over their lengths. By this provision it was possible to re-arrange a:nd extend a •. number of lengths, reduce the track force, and :thereby achieve further economy in maintenance.

Signal and Telegraph Branch. Owing to the necessity for a rigid curtailment of expenditure, the operations of

this Branch during the year were ve17 largely confined to ordinary maintenance work.

Progress. was made, however, with the provision of station to station telephones, various sections of line, totalling r8o miles, being so equipped. Selector telephone~ were installed on 99 miles of line, making a total of 1,655 miles equipped for the Train Despatcher System. .

Locomotive Construction.

Locomotive construction for the year was confined to completion of the fourth Pacific (" S" class), which commenced running in November, 1930, and of nine Mikado (" N" class) light line goods locomotives. The latter are portion of ,the programme of ten referred to in our last report. Beyond completion of the tenth locomotive of this group, no construction is contemplated for the coming year.

Superheater Locomotives. The ten locomotives constructed dming the year were fitted with. superheaters,

whilst two existing engines were converted from saturated to superheater ~team. The total number of superheater locomotives at 30th June, 1931, stood at 317, representing 49 per cent. of the full locomotive strength. · ·

Carriage Construction. Carriage construction for the year comprised three petrol electric rail motor

cars, five bogie trailer cars, which are now in service in connexion v'li.th the petrol electric rail cars, and one bogie van, which was built to replace one destroyed in collision.

Truck Construction. · One hundred and seven open goods trucks, each of 27~tons capacity, were

built during the year, thus completing the 300 of that type authorized and commenced in the previous year. In connexion with the construction ·of the last vehicle of this group, it was~derided to experiment with an all-welded design developed by officers of the Department. The principal feature is that assembly of the underframe and body has been carried out entirely by welding, the only rivets used being through the door fittings. The underframe, centre, and side sills have been so arranged that eccentricity of buffing and draw shocks are reduced to a minimum, both before and after removal of side buffers.

While the construction of one truck enabled us to prove the design from an engineering point of view, it gave no ·indication of relative costs compared with the former standard. It is desirable that we should have reliable information as to the overall economy of the welded design, and it is proposed, therefore, when funds are available, to embark on the construction of a small number in order that cost data may be obtained for comparison with the existing standard.

31

Automatic Couplers~ During the year n6 new vehicles were fitted 'rith automatic couplers, whilst

r,r48 existing vehicles were converted, making a total, at 30th June, 1931, of 4,872 cars, vans, and wagons equipped with automatic couplers, and 284 equipped with transition features suitable for later attachment of automatic couplers. At the same date 56 broad and narrow gauge locomotives had automatic couplers on engine and tender, whilst the tenders of 31 other locomotives were similarly equipped.

It is highly desirable to maintain the continuity of the coupler conversion programine. Each year's progress enables us to apjJly to a wider range of operation the principle of increasing train loads, subject to the marshalling of specified numbers of automatically coupled vehicles at the head end of trains. The fact still remains, however, that we cannot secure anything like full benefits from the change until the programme is complete and side buffers removed from the rolling-stock.

Boiler Construction. As in the previous financial year, boiler construction for replacement p11rposes

was above the average, due to many existing boilers having reached the end of their life of usefulness .

. These heavy boiler programmes come in cycles, being a corollary of heavy locomotive constructions which were found necessary during past years. .

Fifty-three replacement boilers for various ty'})es of locomotives were constructed, including a carry-over of six from the previous year's programme.

Electric Welding. During the year just closed there. has been a rapid expansion of arc welding

activities, p!lrticularly at the Ne·wport Workshops. Reference has already been made toth<3 design and'eonstruction of an all-welded open goodstruck, which represents a marked and original advance in the exploitation of this method of fabrication. This work, however, was largely experimental, and it has been in the more conventional field.of.mainteni\>nce that the greatest.e:xpansion has taken· place.

. Rolling-stock maintenance pres~nts a large field for economy. by the adoption of electric welding, and many components are being reclaimed by this means, the work often being carried out in situ, which results in double economy in avoidance of stripping and re.:assembly. Foundation rings and other boiler parts are being reclaimed bv building up, and tender tanks, some of which otherwise would have been scrapped, ar'e patched by arc welding and requirements of impmted steel plates substantially reduced. Truck roof maintenance and automatic coupler conversion have also been greatly facilitated and cheapened. · ·

. Another attractive feature of arc welding which is being largely a vailed of is the facility it offers for the composite production of componentswhich otherwiSe would have had to be purchased as steel cast.ings. Much ingenuity has been calledJor in the production of some .of these articles, but all so manufactured have proved to be at least as efficient as steel castings, although produced at a.ppreciably lower cost.

Provision of New Erecting Shop at Newport Workshops. A commencement has been made \Vith the transfer of engine repair work to

the new Erecting Shop at the Newport Workshops, reference to the construction of which;is made under the.heading of" ·way and Works Branch." The modern overhead cranes are already proving a great advantage. The preliminary steps have also been ta~e~ .tow~rds the relocati?n of truck and tender repairs,_ tog~ther with welding actJVIties, m the old Erectmg Shop, where further econolliles \Vlll undoubtedly be secured •

. Savings will also be realized by a re-grouping of machine tools in the mai11 rrurnery, following removal of some of the larger machines to the new Erecting Shop. This re-grouping is long overdue, but has not hitherto been practicable owing to lack of floor space,

Stores· Branch. The value of the stock on hand at 30th June) 1931, was £r,I03A52. Thi"l

compares with £I,352,J50 at the close of the preceding year, and represents a decrease of £24g,zg8.

Of this decrease, permanent-way materials accounted for £89,300.

The substantial £eduction which has been achieved in the value of the stocks held, primarily as a result of the re-organization of the stores system, and assisted, of course, .by the curtailment of the works programme, is indicated in the following ~:- . .

During the year under review, the work of stores re-organization was extended to take in two main storehouses, and 27 signal depots and sub-depots. All stores at signal depots and sub-depots are now held in Stores Suspense Account until issued, and the standard stores systems and methods fully apply at these locations.

The stores re-organization has. now been completed as regards refitting with standard facilities and installing the standard systems and methods, The work of amalgamating storage depots in country districts is under way, and will be completei). during 1931-32.

Reductions in the stocks held at both main and country depots and sub-depots haveheen continued. At Works and Signal sub-depots, stocks have been reduced by more than so per cent., with the result that it has been possible to withdraw eleven storemen.

The work of reclamation and reyovery of material was extended during the year, and although sales of scrap iron and steel fell off considerably, sales and issues from the Reclamation depot amounted to £60,300.

An indication that the staff has been educated upon the necessity to exercise economy is shown by requests to be supplied with second-hand instead of new material of all classes. The deshe to save in this way has been much in evidence, and at workshops profitable use has been found for material that was previously sold at very low rates.

The total consumption for the year was S84,78o tons, valued at £627,330, or an average of £r Is. 5· 463d. per ton.

The coal purchased from New South Wales was principally for the replacement of reserve stocks which were depleted during the recent prolonged stoppage of work in the mines in· the Newcastle district. The purchase of coal suitable ·for prolonged storage was essentiaL

We appreciate the consistent efforts of ~he staff which have been necessary to obtain this gratifying result.

Claims for Missing and Damaged Consignments. The amount paid during the year in satisfaction of claims for short delivered,

damaged and delayed consignments of goods, parcels and live-stock, was £u,8n. During the year 1929-30, the amount paid was £rJ,JOI.

The percentage of the amount of claims paid to the revenue from the same sources was . 24, as compared with . JI in 1929-30.

This result was achieved in spite of nomads boarding goods trains e~t route and infesting stations, and shows that the methods adopted of patrolling the yards and trains have been efficient.

Improvements in the methods of receiving parcels and carrying them in sealed hampers and parcels bags also helped materially to reduce losses. '

Refreshment Services and Bookstalls. . The heavy decline in passenger traffic naturally operated adversely upon the

refreshment services, which transacted less business in all sections. of activity. The total revenue from the railway dining rooms and associated activities, such as fruit and £ruit-j.uice drink stalls, &c., . was £305,174· This represents a reduction of approximately 25 per cent. upon the revenue in the preceding year, viz., £404,033.

Apart from the general depression and consequent falling off in traffic, a factor se:riom~ly affecting the profits for the year was the " Tobacco War " in the m-e-trO'P9litan area, which lasted several months, during which selling price& were much below the usual standard.

The amount of £25,000 was spent in purchasing fruit for the branch, representing 47,000 cases. The sale of fruit in cartons continues popular, 47,000 cartons of grapes and peaches being disposed of in this manner.

Sales of pasteurized milk totalled 1ro,oo4 bottles. The poultry farm continued a useful adjunct to the catering servJCe, by

providing over 31,000 dozen eggs, and table poultry worth £900. The butchery handled meat weighing 232 tons of a wholesale value of £12,344~

In addition large quantities of fish, poultry, and butter were distributed. In the bakery, the production was :-

Raisin bread Pies .. Other lines Cake

134,759loaves 37,390 dozen 18,756 " 22,567 lb.

The Laundry dealt with IIz,ooo dozen articles, for all sections of the Department.

On the dining cars, the number of meals supplied was 31,921. This represents a very substantial reduction, due partly to the withdrawal of the di_ning car service from the Adelaide expresses in August last, and partly to decreased traffic and patronage on the Sydney express trains.

The Bookstalls earned a revenue of £63,972, which is £13,227 less than last year's.

The Chalet} Mount Bu:ffalo National Park. The Chalet continues a popular holiday resort, but in common with other

activities, it suffered a substantial loss of patronage by reason of the financial depression. The total number of visitors was 4,212, or about one-third less than in the preceding year, when conditions were more nearly normal.

Due mainly to the decline jn revenue, the working of The Chalet for the year involved a loss of approximately £3,500, but the abnormal payment of £1,400 in accident claims and legal costs in connexion therewith also contributed largely to this result.

Advertising. The Advertising Division, notwithstanding the depressed trading conditions

generally obtaining, again was able to show an exceptionally fine return. Although there was a slight decline in the total revenue (£55,425 as against £57,580 in 1929~30), the amount of net profit (£38,536) exceeded that of any previous year.

The policy of providing the best possible advertising facilities in the shape of modern and well-kept hoardings has proved markedly successful in retaining and even generating business, despite the decline in passenger traffic. The work of remodelling and standardizing many of the suburban platform hoardings was proceeded with throughout the year ; the rebuilding of the hoardings at Richmond being an outstanding example.

While the year's figures show comparatively little decline in revenue, the situation is rapidly changing, and we anticipate for the future a considerable decrease in revenue and in profits.

The Sta:ff. Constant efforts were made during the year to reduce the staff in every sectipll

of the service in keeping with the curtailment of the works programme and the reduction in business. Every possible opportunity was taken of these changed conditions to effect economies by reorganizing and amalgamating positions, by altered methods of working stations, and by withdrawing staff and allowing vacancies to remain unfilled wherever it was at all practicable to do so. Large reductiollS in staff were made by these methods not only in rank and file positions but in administrative, supervising, and professional grades. ·

Up till November last the necessary adjustments of staff were made by the regression in grade and pay of permanent officers and employees, and dispensing with the services of supernumeraries whose work was completed or who had to be displaced to make room for surplus permanent employees. A number of surplus permanent employees v.-rith ten years' service or over, who were unwilling to accept employment in lower avocations, were retrenched on superannuation benefits.

During the months of November and J)ecember, dismissals and regressions of surplus staff were held in abeyance at the request of the Government. This necessitated our incurring additional expenditure and undertaking work which would otherwise have been deferred, and also involved payment to many employees of their ordinary rates, although these were in excess ~Pf the rates prescribed for the lower class of work which they were performing.

In December, however, we notified the Government that it was essential that we should take action to avoid a continuance of these conditions. Having regard to the abnormal state of the employment market, we were naturally reluctant to sanction dismissals on a .. large scale, and accordingly gave consideration to rationing as an alternative. There are insuperable difficulties associated with the adoption of a uniform scheme of rationing in all grades in the service, but in ord. er to minimize regressions and dismissals, we adopted in January last a limited scheme of rationing the work in the grades in which the surplus staff existed, or in allied grades.

Under this scheme single men without dependants are being rationed more frequently than married men, or single men with dependants.

During the period between January and the end of the financial year, approximately 8,200 employees were rationed or granted less than full time for periods ranging from a quarter of a day to two days per week, or on a weekly basis ranging from I week off in 4 to I week in 24- · ~ .

Because of frequent references which have been made to a saving by rationing, it is desirable to point out that rationing is not a means. of effecting savings. It merely results in the work available being spread over a greater number of men than is necessary. As a matter of fact, although the limited scheme of rationing is sufficiently flexible to enable the fluctuations in staff to be adjusted from day to day in the light of the frequently changing conditions, it involves many administrative difficulties, and does not enable the Department to achieve the same economies as if the surplus staff were dispensed with. n·actually involves some additional expenditure because of the greater number of individuals to be granted annual leave, uniforms, and accident pay, and at the best it is merely a temporary method of minimizing dismissals and regressions while unemployment is so rife.

The policy was continued during the year of loaning surplus staff to various State Departments to meet requirements for extra men. At 30th June last, I47 railway officer!'! arid employees-mainly clerical officers-were so loaned.

We also continued the policy of spreading employment by booking oif Sunday time and overtime wherever practicable, instead of paying for it.

No additional appointments were m.ade to the permanent staff during the year. On the other hand, the permanent staff was reduced through retirements, deaths, dismissals, and resignations by 670, or, including the I47 loaned to other State Departments, by 8I7.

The total staff at the close of the year was 22,I57, compri~ing I9,44I permanent officers and employees and 2,716 supernumerary employees, by comparison with a total of 24,742 at 30th June, I930, or a reduction of 2,585. This number should, however, be increased by approximately I,ooo, representing the number of. men standing down at 3oth June, I93I, under the rationing scheme. The total reduction in staff was therefore equivalent to approximately 3,585 employees.

Readjustment of Salaries and Wages and Wt~rkittg~ Conditions.

In the light of the serious financial position, we joined with the New South Wales Hail ways Commissioners in a claim to the Federal Arbitration Court in August, 1930, for a variation in salaries and wages and working conditions prescribed by awards' governing members of the Australian Railways Union, the Australian Federated Union of Locomotive Enginemen, the Federation of Salaried Officers and the Association of Railway Professional Officers of Australia. The Railway ComMssioners of South Austt!itlia and Tasmania later joined in the claims.

The claims were strongly contested by the industrial organizations concerned, and on their application Conciliation Committees were appointed by the Governor· General under the amended Conciliation and Arbitration Act to deal with industrial disputes in each of these four sections.

The object of the appointment of these Committees was obviously to prevent the Arbitration Court from dealing with the application of the Commissioners until after the claims had been dealt with by the Committees.

The Federal Arbitration Court adjourned the hearing of the claims for a. variation of . the awards, and as it appeared under the amended Conciliation and Arbitration Act that there was some doubt as to whether the Court could vary the awards until after they had been dealt with by the Conciliation Committees~ the Commissioners amended their claims for variations to applications to haVEHhe awa:tdB" " set aside," so that they might be dealt with direct by the Court witholiii the delay and circumlocution associated with the Conciliation Committees.

The Full Arbitration Court finally decided to set aside, as from 4th October, 1930, the awards telatihg to the four organizations previously referred to, other than in respect of the basic wage and standard hours. This had the effect, as regards this State, of bringing into operation again the awards of the Railways Classification l3oard which had been superseded by Federal awards. ·

37

The Australian Rt~.ilways Union appealed to the High Court against the" setting aside '1 of the awards by the Arbitration Court. During argument in the High Court, the constitutional question aroee as to the i:n:ununity of the Railways Commissioners from the legislative power of the Conunonwealth in respect of Conciliartion and Arbitration for the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes. The majority of the Judges of the High Court announced that if one or other of the parties intimated within ten days its desire to have this question argued, the Court would deal with the matter.

The New South Wales Commissioners had withdrawn from the proceedings, but in view of the far-reaching importance of the matter, the Railways Commissioners o1 Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania decided to test the question.

The Honorable the 1\{inister intimated, however, that the Victorian Government had decided as a matter of general policy that the right of the Australian Railways Union and other registered organizations of railway employees, and of the Commissioners themselves, to approach the Arbitration Court should be preserved, and that we should take nf> steps to raise in the case pending before the High Court the question of immunity from the legislative power of the Commonwealth in respect of Conciliation

' and Arbitration for the prevention and settlement of industrial disputes. We were accordingly called upon under Section ror of the Railways Act to present in writing a scheme whereby this policy might be carried 01lt.

We have consistently taken the view that railway employees are afforded adequate facilities under the Railways Classification Board Act ·for the adjustment of their renmneratio:n .and working conditions, and that there is no justification fo.r duplicating these facilities by allowing them access to the Arbitration Comt. Holding these views, and bearing in mind that the majority of the High Court had lil.nnounced that they could not answer questions arising from the appeal of the Australian Railways Union without pronolllicin.g upon the constitutional matter, we informed the Honorable the Minister that we considered definitely it was om duty to hav~ finally determined the question whether the Union or the Commissioners have any right to approach the Arbitration Court for the settlement of their industrial differences. We also pointed out that it was quite wrong to allow the matter to be argued by one side only, and that we had been advised by eminent Counsel that the matter was one entirely for our own responsibility as a body cited before the Court.

An Order in Council was, however, issued on r8th November, I930, directing us to take no steps in the case to raise the question of immunity from Federal awards. We thereupon withdrew from the proceedings, which were continued by the Commissioners of South Australia and Tasmania.

The High Court finally held that the Railways Awards had been validly made, that the " setting aside " order of the Arbitration Court was also valid, and that certain sections of the amended Conciliation and Arbitration Act relating to Conciliation Committees were invalid.

This meant that the decision of the Arbitration Court was effective and that numerous increases in pay and improvements in conditions granted by the Court had been properly withdrawn by the Department. ·

In a further endeavour to secure the requisite financial relief, we then approached the Railways Classification Board and suggested that in the framingof its award for the year I930 the rates of pay shoq.ld be reduced by 7l per cent., as from the date the Arbitration Court awards were set aside, viz., 4th October, 1930.

The Board reduced the rates of pay by 6! per cent. where the Arbitration Court order had not produced such a result, but the benefit of this reduction to the Department was largely nullified by a provision that any decrease in the basic wage, consequent on cost of living adjustments, should· be included in such percentage reduction.

In February last, the Arbitration Court completed the hearing of th~ Commissioners' claim-which had extended over some months-for a reduction in the basic wage of the four sections of railway employees previoualy . referred to. ·The Court made an order which had the effect . of · :reducing the basic wage as an emergency measure by IO per cent. as from rst February, I93I.

38

The Railways Classification Board applied a similar reduction in the basic wage as from the rsth idem, and a IO per cent. reduction in the marginal rates above the basic wage which existed prior to .the awards of the Arbitration Court being set aside. This provided substantially for an all-round ro per cent. reduction, and was suggested by us with a view to obtaining equality of sacrifice.

The ro per cent. reduction was not, until the 29th l\farch, applied by the Arbitration Court to employees covered by awards in favour of craft organizations.

Claims to the Railways Classification Board for the abolition of penalty rates for overtime and Sunday time were unsuccessful. .

In April last the railway industrial organizations applied to the Full Arbitration Court for the cancellation of the "setting aside" order and the restoration of their awards, but the request was not granted, and . the application has been allowed to remain in abeyance.

The reductions imposed by the Arbitration Court and the Railways Classification Board affected approximately 22,000 officers and employees and resulted in a reduction of approximately £245,000 in the working expenses of the Department for the year. In addition, the quarterly adjustment of the basic wage in consequence of the fall in the / cost of living figures effected a saving of approximately £I77,000 during the year: As these reductions applied for portion of the year only, the full effect of the savings will not be secured until the financial year I93I-32.

Following on the establishment of Conciliation Committees under the amended Conciliation and Arbitration Act in August, 1930, the claims of the Australian Federated Union of Locomotive Enginemen, and the counter claims of the Commissioners, which had been under investigation by the Arbitration Court since the znd July, 1928, were not proceeded with. This case occupied over two years' hearing, at considerable cost to the parties concerned, without any result. ·

In consequence of the High Court decision the four Conciliation Committees, which were appointed by the Governor-General during the year to deal with industrial disputes in the railway industry in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania, have ceased to function.

The difficulties and delays in having the salaries and wages and working conditions of railway employees promptly re-adjusted to meet the altered economic position were due very largely to the proceedings associated with Federal jurisdiction, and. were so pronounced and costly as to warrant our again emphasizing the desirability of endeavouring to restrict the right of access in railway industrial matters to the proper State tribunaL . > . •

Educ;ttional Classes. . The educational classes in railway subjects conducted by the Victorian Railways

Institute at, the cost of the Department continue to be freely availed of by the staff. Class enrolments for all subjects, railway and commercial, numbe:red z,zn, or an increase of 94 compared with the previous year.. A greater number of students also availed themselves of the correspondence courses. '

It is satisfactory to note that the membership. of the Institute has increased by approximately soo for the year. The Council of the Institute has followed a very active policy with a view to increasing membership, and its efforts have been attended with success. No fewer than r,760 new members were enrolled during the year, compared with 450 in the previous year. When it is borne in mind that the railway staff has been considerably reduced, and that no new appointments have been made for some time. this iR a most encouraging achievement.

The Institute has now operated for a period of over two years wit~ a payment from the Department based upon little more than a reimbursement of the cost ol conducting the educational classes in purely railway subjects, and the amount so paid is lower than for many years .

. DU:ring the past year the whole of the activities of the Instit~te--educati~n~ll social, and recreative-have heen revi~wed and reorganized, and they are at tP,e present time being COI}.dllcted e*ciently ~nd~cononrically. . . .

.39

Tourist and General Publicity. Within the limitations of the restricted funds available for the purpose, a

·satisfactory programme of publicity was maintained throughout the year.

The publicity work was carried out largely by means of pictorial and letterpress posters, illustrated booklets and pamphlets, newspaper and magazine advertising, window displays in city establishments, wireless talks and lectures and film screenings.

In addition to the featuring of the tourist attractions of the State, and the special fares and travelling facilities made available from time to time during the year, general publicity was undertaken in the way of appeals to the public and to the staff for their co-operation in furthering the interests of the service, Opportunity was again taken to renew the appeal to wool-growers to despatch their wool by rail, and gratifying results were obtained by this means both in conserving and in some cases regaining such traffic· for the railways.

The importance from a national point of view of protecting the railways from the effects of road motor competition was by means of publicity in one form or another kept constantly before the public. We believe that this has been of considerable value in awakening the community generally to a fuller realization of the serious economic dangers of permitting the unnecessary and costly duplication of transport services which is widespread throughout the State. Further reference to this aspect is made elsewhere in this report under the heading of " Road Motor Competition."

Due to the serious state . of the finances, we were reluctantly obliged to discontinue the publication of " The Victorian Railways Magazine," but in view of its proved value as a promoter of mutual understanding and good'-V'ill amongst railwaymen themselves and between the staff, the public, and the administration, it was deemed highly desirable in the interests of efficiency to continue the production of some such publication. A monthly News Letter, produced at relativelyinconsider­able cost, is now issued, its distribution being confined to the staff only. Consistent with its limited size, this publication is satisfactorily serving its purpose.

The Government Tourist Bureau continued to maintain its high reputation for efficiency and helpful service. Although sales of actual travel have fallen away, the demand for travel information at the Bureau bas only slightly diminished. Indeed, in some respects it can be said to have increased, presumably because the public, due to the stringent prevailing conditions, are now obliged to pay greater attention than formerly to the selection of holiday trips.

Escorted tours numbered 77, with a revenue of £rr,445 from z,6r9 passengers, as compared with 79 tours and a revenue of £17,638 from 3,6g3 passengers for the previous year. The reduction of 1,074 in passengers and of £6,193 in revenue is typical of the falling off in tourist travel generally. The Bellarine Peninsula and Wilson's Promontory were additional places included in the list of escorted tours conducted for the year, while a visit to Mt. Buffalo by the Trail Riders of Victoria, who visited the various points of interest in the National Park onjhorseback, using The Chalet .as their head-quarters, was a new feature of the tours. ·

Several special tours were arranged as a direct result of the activities of the Bureau to obtain new business. These comprised parties of State school teachers, public school pupils, members of the Y.J\f.C.A., the Y.W.C.A., athletic clubs and other bodies.

In pursuance of a reciprocal policy between the different States, a representative from the Queensland Tourist Bureau was allotted accommodation in the Melbourne Bureau, and excellent results have been obtained from this additional service in the direction of stimulating travel to the northern State.

A number of small parties of overseas tourists, chiefly from the United Kingdom and the United SUJ,tes of America, visited Melbourne during the year, which is indicative of a gwwing interest abroad in Australia's attractions. This class of travel is especially welcomed and is give:ri close attention at the Bureau, not only because of its value as a prolifics:ource of revenue, but alsofor the reason that by satisfactorily catering for the travel needs of these visitors desirable contacts are established which must result in.· favorable. recommendation of thi-s country to many other potential overseas tourists and settlers.

Publicity to Assist the Primary Producer.

The assistance given by us during the year in the interests of the primary producer was chiefly in the direction of stimulating the consumption of fruit, mduding fresh and dried fruits. The State Rivers and Water Supply Commission and the Federal Citrus Council of Australia again co-operated financially in conne.xion with citrus fruit publicity.

Experience has demonstrated that the publicity so undertaken is of considerable value to the primary producer and consequently to the country generally. Although, as was to be expected with the prevailing depression, the results from the f:ruit business conducted by the Department were not as satisfactory as in the preVious year, this business represented substantial assistance to the primary producer. Actually, fruit growers benefited by this phase of the Department's activities to the extent of £25,022, which was paid to them for the fruit sold and used at railway stalls and refreshment rooms for the year. Of this sum £16,182 was paid to citrus growers for 28,059 cases of citrus fruit.

Fruit juice business accounted for r,16o,58o drinks; sales of raisins, sultanas., &c., totalled 43,133 packets, or over 3 tons of fruit; while a further nt tons ·or dried fruit were used in the 134,759 loaves of raisin bread made at the Departmental} bakery, and used or sold at railway refreshment rooms and stalls. ·

Growers of small fruits were assisted by the Department in their efforts· to dispose of a glut of berry fruit. Stationmasters were encouraged to accept and despatch orders for such fruit and arrange for its prompt delivery, and effective publicity was given to this facility. The issue of a loganberry recipes leaflet also ass~ted materially in the absorption of the glut.

Special publicity was again undertaken with a view to increasing the consumption of grapes, and satisfactory results were . achieved.

Suggestions and Inventions. The suggestions submitted to the Betterment and Publicity Board during the

year numbered 1,406, as compared with 2,387 for the previous year. The decrease is attributable to further reductions in the total staff employed, to the uncertainty which prevailed on account of the general depression with its adverse influence upom the birth of ideas, and, in the latter half of the year, to the discontinuance, at the direction of the Government, of the payment of awards for adopted suggestions submitted by the staff.

We strongly opposed the discontinuance of such awards. It is clearly demonstrable that the suggestions scheme has been productive of most valuable results, in the inter.ests :of efficient and economical operatio:rl, that would not otherwisehave been achieved.

During the ten years for which the scheme has been iri operation, .the average annual payments in awards aggregated £1,884, and for this payment it is conservatively estimated that the direct savings and benefits to the Department have averaged more than £so,ooo per annum.

The contention has been advanced that members of the staff "Should have the interests of the service sufficiently at heart to submit their ]deas for improvements without expectation of reward. This is an ideal, however, which all experience of human natwe unfortunately has shown to be impossible of realization. It is still the hope of ;reward that sweetens labour, and with thi£! incentive removed w.e cannot expect that the interest by the staff in the .submission of suggestions for the betterment o! the service will continue to be sustained.

It is hardly necessary for us to emphasize that the!fe was never a time when we ;required as much all!s~tan<Je as at. present in our endeavours to improve .the finances o! the Department, and in. our opinion :it is. to be greatly deplored that the Goveril.lll.ent .should have taken .a step which is likely to. have so serious an effect upon. a ptodu"Ctive source of valuable suggestions and which, moroover, is opposed to a world-wide !pTMtice adopted by many railway systems and large industrial organizations.

The total number of suggestions received since the inception of the :Boarcl in 1921 up till 3oth June last was 25,574, of which 4,630 have been adupted.

41

"Better-Farming" Train. Due to financial considerations, the activities of the train were curtailed during

the year; a tour of South Gippsland, on which demonstrations were held at eight centres, being the only one undertaken. Recognition by the farming community of the valuable advice and practical assistance to be obtained by inspecting the exhibits an:d attending the lectures was manifested by the remarkably large attendance of district fa:rmers at all the demonstrations on this tour.

Since the earlier visits of the train to this district there has been, especially in the dairying industry, a marked improvement in methods, as advocated by the experts accompanying the train. The herd-testing movement has made marked progress, with consequent improvement in the standard of the dairy herds and increase in butt.er fat production .. The more general application of fertilizers to ,grass lands and closer attention generally to the management of pastures, thereby increasing the carrying capacity, were .notic.eable throughout the district.

The women's section of the train continues to have a wide appeal to the country womenfolk, and the accommodation in the cars was inadequate ori some occasions for all who wished to witness the demonstrations in cookery, needlecraft, an:d child welfare.

The "Better-Farming" train has proved beyond question to be of inestimable value for the dissemination of knowledge leading to increased production at lower costs, and we cannot urge too strongly the desirability of continuing this highly educational work, which has already been productive of results which have paid, many times over, for the relatively small cost of running the train.

Financial stringency has prevented the State Government from sanctioning any further tours for the time being, but we are pleased to be able ·to announce that the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, recognizing the value of the train as a medium for increasing primary production, has agreed to defray from the Ru.ral Credits Development Fund the costs of both this Department and of the Agricultural Department .in a tour which it is proposed to undertake in October next.

'' Reso." Trains. In consequence of the unsettled conditions which prevailed, no " Reso " tour.s in

Victoria were listed for the year. However, several special tours of this nature were conducted, the first being that

{J)f a party of 67 New Zealand farmers, whose itinerary embraced some of the hest farming districts in Victoria, following upon a tour through New South Wales. and Queensland. This tour was a complete success, and we are hopeful that it will prove a forerunner of many similar tours by parties from New Zealand.

In pursuance of the policy of popularizing Australia's lesser known tourist features and encouraging Australians to know their own country, this Department also assisted in organizing further tours to Central and Northern Australia, and these were avai:led of by several parties during the year. Towards the close of the year a tour to the Great Barrier Reef was also organized in conjunction with the New Sou.th Wales and Queensland Railways.

A large party of members of the Brotherhood of Resonians-an organization consisting of representative citizens who have participated in a "Reso" tour~made a tour of the North-Eastern District during November, and spent a week at The Chalet Mt. Buffalo National Park '

Al'l. encouraging feature of the year's activities was the number of requests received for itineraries and quotations for ,comprehensive tours for overseas parties, which is a further indication of the wisdom of the policy of advertising abroad, towards which work a contribution is made by the railway sy.atems of Australia to the Australian National Travel Association.

Road Motor Competition. The position in regard to competition for passenger business by commercial

road motor services continues to cause us grave concern. It was hoped that the ·situation would be improved by the legislation passed last year and operathe as from the rst January, 1931, which prohibits the operation of five-seater" service" cars over the five principal highways of the State. Numbers of such services however, continued to ply for hire .on the banned r.outes, some of them apparently i~

open defiance of the law, and others by the adoptio:a of various technical subterfuges to circumvent the legislation. As a result of the action taken by the administrative authorities, the majority of the services on these routes. have now been obliged to cease their operations, but some continue to operate to the detriment of the railway revenue.

No legislation has yetbeen passed to restrict in any way five-seater car services elsewhere throughout the State, and they are actively operating between practically all centres of any importance, and seriously affecting the railway finances.

The situation in regard to freight competition is also seriously perturbing. Some check ·has been placed . upon the competition by our action in entering into special freight contracts vvith individual traders in certain districts. In addition, the railways have benefited by the introduction of By-Law No. 305, under which the Department is authorized, in cases where any person has patronized road services for the carriage of his higher-class freight, to charge that person a rate higher than the ordinary schedule rate for any low-grade traffic consigned by railway on his behalf. Despite these measures, however, a very large tonnage of the more payable freight is being diverted from the railways by the competitive road services.

The popularity of these road services is unquestionably due to the low rates quoted by them. The reasons for their ability to offer lower rates have been explained by us in previous reports, but briefly they are that the road carriers are not subject to any form of regulation or control; tha,t they are not obliged, as are the railways, to act as common carriers, for all descriptions of goods, including such .low-rated traffic as wheat, fertilizers, &c., and can thus pick and choose the most payable traffic ; and that, moreover, they are actually being subsidized by the taxpayer, inasmuch as the contribution they are required to make towards the cost of constructing and maintaining the roads over which they operate is altogether inadequate.

It is utterly out of the question under existing conditions to consider a reduction in railway rates 'vith the object of meeting the competition for the higher-grade traffic. Experience has shown all too clearly that this would merely result in further undercutting by the road services. An illuminating case in point, illustrative of this practice, may be quoted. · The railway rate for a certain commodity to a distant country town was 6zs. rod. a ton. A road operator offered a· rate of 55s. a ton and secured the business. Subsequently, to tes·t the position, it was decided to reduce the railway rate to zgs. sd. a ton, whereupon the road operator immediately offered the same rate, and because he carried from door to door he continued to secure the business.

It is quite certain that road competitors 'vill continue to do this kind of thing as long as they retain the unfair advantages which they are now permitted to enjoy, and are prepared to operate, moreover, without regard to the actual cost of their services.

It is common knowledge that many of the. road competitors do not fix their charges upon any economic basis, but merely under-cut the railway charges. In a number of cases disregard of the economics of operation has resulted in financial disaster to the road carrier, but the experience is that there has always been some other operator prepared to continue the service on the same basis without regard to the. ultimate result.

Meanwhile, the transport of every ton of goods and every passenger diverted from the railways is being paid for twice, firstly in the cost of road transport, and secondly because the consequent loss of railway revenue means an increase in the taxpayer's burden, at;rd w~ cannot too ~trongl-y: emphasize our fr~que_ntly-ex_Press~d conviction that the s1tuatwn can be sat1sfactonly met only by leg1slatwn whiCh will assist in safeguarding the railway asset by preventing uneconomic and unjustifiable competition of this nature .

. Departmeptal Road Motor Services. Regular services are in operation. on the following routes :­

Upper Ferntree Gully-Belgrave-Monbulk ; . Upper Ferntree Gully~Belgrave-Cockatoo ; ,, East Camberwell-Deepdene-East Kew ; and Lily dale-Watburton.

On the Upper Ferntree Gully-Belgrave-Monbulk route the service has given evidence of increasing popularity, and the returns for the year show an increase of 37,038 passenger journeys. This service has almost entirely replaced .the train service between Upper Ferntree Gully and Belgrave.

The Upper Ferntree Gully-Gembrook service was inaugurated on 7th July, 1930, and the train service was materially curtailed. The through run to Gembrook continued until zoth April last, when owing to lack of patronage at the Gembrook end, it was decided to \\ithdraw the service between Cockatoo and Gembrook. .

. On the Camberwell-Deepde:ne-East Kew route, the number of passenger journeys is being maintained. The service is greatly appreciated by the residents in the district.

The Lilydale-Warburton service shows evidence of increasing patronage, the passenger journeys being 1,484 in excess of those of the previous financial year. A slight alteration was made in schedule to cater for children and teachers attending the Lilydale High School.

Owing to lack of patronage, the Geelong-Queenscliff service was abandoned on 1st June last. · ·· ·

Satisfaction has been expressed by export agents and the cool stores . officials respecting the transport of export butter, &c., by road in irisulated containers from the cool stores to the ship's side. This season constituted a record in the export of butter, practically the whole of which was handled by the Department either by rail or by road.

Improved Booking Facilities at 'Flinders·street Statiov. ·On rst May improved suburban booking facilities were introduced at Flinders~

street . station, by means of the installation of a new type of ticket cabinet which permits of a concentration of the ticket issues within a comparatively· small compass.

Previously, certain windows were available only for certain lines. Passengers consequently had to ascertain by means of notice boards the w-indow at. which they should book. · With a full set of tickets at each window, passengers can now book at any window to any suburban station to which trains run from Flinders-street.

The new arrangement has not only added appreciably to public convenience, but has also resulted in substantial economies.

Powers Electric Accounting Machines and Re-organization of Workshop· Costing Method.

The re-organization of the costing system at the Newport 'Rolling Stock Branch workshops, which, as stated in our last annual report, was then proceeding, has been completed with highly satisfactory results. . . · ·

The new system has also been installed at the Way and \V orks Branch workshops at Spotswood,. and the tabulations of the cost of ·work done in these workshops are nu\v earned out by means of the Powers machines.

Concurrently with the installation of the new system a thorough investigation has been made into ·the manner of determining shop expense charges, and their allocation. These problems have been effectively dealt wjth, and the Powers machines are also utilized in connexjon with this phase ofworkshops costing procedure.

Office Accommodation.

IIi consequence of the removal of the State Land 'J'ax office to new premises in Lonsdale-street, a considerable area of floor space became available in the Flinders­street sta.tion buildings ..

It was therefore decided to remove to Flinders-street the Electrical Engineering and Refreshment Services Branches of the Department, which were occupy-ing leased ac.:lommodation.inthe State Savings Bank building in Collins-street.

This transfer was duJ.y .effected, and a substantial proportion of the leased M9ommodation in the State Savings. Bank building has been sublet to· the Commonwealth Railways and other organizations.

State Coal M:i:ne. After the payment of working expenses, loan redemption, and interest charges,

and allowin~ for a contribution of £3o,ooo to the Depreciation Fund, the operations of the Mine resulted in a loss of £28,325, due to a reduction in the semng pnce of coal as a result of keenness of competition for the limited trade available.

The quantity of .coal braced during the year was 565,444 tons, and the ·saleable output, exclusive of local consumption, miners' household coal, allowances, and waste, was 543,784 tons. 458,8r5 tons were supplied to the Railway Department; n,83o tons to other public Departments ; and 73,r39 tons to the general pubHc.

Apart from small sectional stoppages, operations were suspended on account oi strikes, stop-work meetings, and the like for four days; on account of :fatal accidents for twelve days ; and on account of shortage of trade for 39 days·-a total of 55 days, as compared with 26 days lost last year from all causes.

The average number of persons emp'loyed throughout the year was r,774, as compared with r,776 for r929-30.

·In the period under review an amount of £447,55r was disbursed in wages, and the net average daily earnings of the miners, .after deducting the cost of explosives, was 24s. 9 . 85d.

Acknowledgmeut of Services of Staft". The standard of service given by the staff was well maintained during the

year. We receive numerous eulogistic letters which furnish . evidence of the improved ,and constantly-growing spirit of co-operation between the ~;tmpioyees and the patrons of the Department.

It is a pleasu.re -to us to place this fact on record, and to express our own appreciation of the excellent service and valuftble assistauce rendered by officers and employees oftl1e Department throughout the year.

As from rst June, the Audit of Rece]pts and the Accountancy Branches were amalgamated under the control of the Chief Accountant, whose title was changed to Comptroller of Accounts. 'Some immediate savings were effected, and the amalgamation and re-organization of the work of these two divisions~ which are now in progress, wiU eventually enable appreciable economies to be n~alized. .

At the close of the year the Signal and Telegraph Branch also ceased existence as a 'Separate Branch. "With~ the. severe curtailment of capital funds toT the operations of this Branch and of the 'Way and Vl orks Branch, the opportunity was p:reaenOOd of amalgamating the two :Branches as from Ist July: A substantial saving of expen;ditu.re has resulted, and will be increased on ~the completi()n of plans now in. progress for the amalg.amlll.tion at Sp.Qtswood :0.£ tale workshops .of the two Branches, previously loeo.t'6d at Newport and Spotswood respectively. · .·· ·• · . •. ·
