Thew North Island Main Trunk Railway.

The following; ia the reporb of the Select Committee appointed last session to report upon the best method of con necting Auckland and Wellington by railway. The Committee consisted of Messrs Blake, Carncross, Duncan, Rhodes, Wright and 0. H. Mills, who appointed Mr Wright, member for Ashburton, their chairman: — REPOKT. In compliance with the order of the House made on the 31st day of August, your Committee have taken the evidence of twenty-six witnesses, and made the fullest inquiry into the subject that the time at their disposal has permitted. 1, Your Committee find that the de cision arrived at by a former Parlia mentary Committee, appointed in 1884 to investigate this matter, was quite in ac cordance with the evidence then sub mitted to them, and in reliance upon jphich they^recommended the construction of a railway from Marton to Te Awamutu. 2. Your Committee also find that the evidence tendered to the Committee of 1884 was in some respects exceedingly erroneous. '■ 3. For instance, the cost of construct ing a railway 216 miles in length from Marton to Te Iwamutu was then esti mated at £1,293,134, and is now estimated at £2,007,985, including the sum of £402,025 already expended. 4. As further evidence of the entire want of accuracy in the original estimate, another example may suffice. The bridges along the central route in 1884 were esti mated to cost £30,00), whilst the present estimate of expenditue under the heading "Bridges and Viaducts" is £256,750; and your Committee think that, owing to the unfinished, state of the exploration and surveys over a large, portion of the central route, the present estimate of the cost is probably far below what may ulti mately be required. 5. (Since 1884 a considerable sum has been expended in exploring and survey ing the. country between Stratford and Ongaruhe (the point ot divergence from the central route), which district is for the most part comprised under what is herein after referred to as the Ngaire route. 6. The information thus obtained shows that a line of railway can be carried through this county at a less cost per mile than one along the central route. 7. That the actual length to^be made between Ngaire and Ongaruhe is 103 miles 75 chains, whilst the estimated distance from the end of the open line at Kanga tira to Ongaruhe is 138 miles 10 chains, thus showing 34 miles 15 chains less to be made on the Ngaire route than are re quired to complete the central line, ex cept a few miles now partly constructed. 8. That the saving in cost in favour of the Ngaire line is at present estimated by the Public Works Department at £460,034 and the saving will probably be much more, owing to the want of detailed in formation is respect of nearly eighty miles unsurveyed on the central route. 9. Your Committee are of opinion that the country along the Ngaire route is of a character more likely to attract permanent settlers than the country extending for an equal distance south of Ongaruhe along the central route, whilst acre for acre it will support a much larger population, and is favoured with a more genial climate, 10. The line from Ongaruhe southwards towards Marton, for a distance of it least fifty miles, traverses an elevated plateau, where fclie winters are severe and the soil poor. 11. That, as regards the country along the central route, for a distance of fifty miles northwards from Marton your Com mittee believe that the extent of good land ia sufficient to justify its being opened up by a line of railway, whether such line form part of a Main Trunk Rail way or not. 12. Your Committee are also of opinion that the completion of an additional eight miles of railway beyond Rangatira, which are now partly constructed, would be quite sufficient to open up for settlement most of the good land in the Rangitikei watershed, and would be as large an ex tension as the prospective traffic ia likely to justify for some years to come. 13. Your Committee find that since 1884 the railway works have been ex tended from Te Awamutu southwards for a distance of about forty-eight miles, at a cost of £266,398, through land of inferior quality, which'W still in the possession of flip Natives, and upon which little or no Settlement has taken place ; and they de sire to exprefs their strong disapproval of any line or lines of railway being pushed forward through Native lands whilst the negotiations for the purchase thereof are still pending. 14. Tlie Bime objection exists as to the construction of any ■ considerable further portion of the railway at Marton end until the purchase of the Awarua Block shall be completed. 15, It also appears to your Committe that the expenditure which would be nenqasar* to reduce the heavy grades upon tj^a open line of railway between Marton and Mtham (on the New Plymouth line) to a maximum of 1 in 50 would be so he»vy that, if added to the cost of a rail way along the "Ngaire route it would raise the joint expenditure to within £J 60,000 of the sum said to be cuff elant to com plete the railway by the central route. 16. On the other hand, the cost of con structing 103 miles of railway by the Ngaire route to connect the rail way system north and souths is now ascertained ivithth ywy #fo*e limits of' mo^ wjhilst th«

stated cost of a large portion along the central route is not based on any re liable data, but is calculated upon a system of general averages, which, an in former instances, may turn out to be extremely erroneous. 17. Tlut, in point of suitability of soil and climate for settlement purposes the Ngaire route has certain advantages over the central route • whilst the latter, con sidered from the standpoint of a through line only, would hold the first position if we disregard cost of construction, quality of land, and costliness of maintenance. 18. That either line would require the support of a large passenger traffic, or the Government should be prepared to meet a large annual loss for maintenance and working-expenses. 19. The distance from Auckland to I Wellington by the Ngaire route is 480 miles, and by the central 432 miles, giving an advantage to the latter in point of time of not less than two hours. I 20. No consideration has been given to fche route by way pf Waitara to the Upper I Mokau, or to that from Hastings by way I of Taupo, on the ground that both these I routes have been previously condemned, I either on the score of excessive cost, or of the poverty of the country to be traversed. I 21. At the same time attention is I directed to an easy route said to exist I between Urenui and Taumaranui, which, lif correct, would have much to commend I it, as passing through a large extent of I Crown lands, and connecting the New i I Plymouth District with the Main Trunk ' I Kail way, upon whatever line it may ulti-1 I mately be located. I Upon a careful review of all the features, I of an extremely difficult question, your I Committee recommend,— I 1. That the railway now in progress be , I extended to a point about twenty-six . I miles north of Marton so soon as the I negotiations shall be completed for the I purchase of the 100,000 acres now under I offer in the Awarua Block. I 2. That a dray-road be put in hand to I connect the Taranaki District with the I Upper Mokau. I 3. That further exploration and survey I are necessary before the location of the I North Island Trunk Railway can be de- I termined. I 4. That in the meantime no railway I extension (except the eight miles above I indicated/should be undertaken either at I the noithern or southern extremities of I the two suggested routes, until the land is tirst of all acquired from the Natives, and no far opened up by exploration and roads that judgment upon this question may be given with such a degree of certainty and force that it will be accepted as final.
