bodies. The lines generally have during tho year been raaiutained ia a thorough state of cllicicncy, and considerable addition i have bcf-n made to the station accommoda tion and stock. In the latter direction much still remains to be done, particularly in the extreme North and South. Fresh orders for carriage and waijgon stock are under execution for both islands. Notwithstand ing that the railways commenced in 1871 havo b°en more substiutially carried out than was at that time proposed, we have Btill but a lignt system o£ railways, and stocks designed for moderate speed. In consequence o£ tbe growth of the traffic, it haa become necessary to re-lay tlio Hues in many places with rails of a heavier and more expensive character than those originally provided. This line of action is being continuously followed. ROADS. Exclusive of the vote taken for " Roada to open up lands before sale," the expendi ture on roada in the Noitli Island was £C9,SGI, and the liabilities on the 31st of March last £32,103, Mil, £101,974. In the Middle Island the expenditure waa JE2S.B9G and the liabiiiti-s £25,798, total, £57,694. Iv the district no.th of Auck land considerable progress has been made in continuation of the works undeitaken last year towards improving the communi cation through that part of the colony, which has hitherto been much in want of such facilities, and in the Waikato, tbe "Waipa has been bridged in twoplacei, and a third bridge is in course of construction at Alexandra, leading to the King Country. In tbe district lying between the Waikato and Rotorua, work bas b2en done in im provement of the Cambridge to Taupo road, and particular attention has been given to the Cambridge- Rotorua road, which will be the future highway from the Waikato into the Botorua country. Various contracts have been let. and 200 Armed Constabulary were transferred to the Rotorua road after their services were no longer requ'red at Pa lihaka, aud they are now actively engaged on that work. For the improvement of the road from Cambridge to Tauraoga # a subsidy haa been given to the local body. From Tauranga to Opotiki, aud thence to the East Cape and Giaborne, the roaite are bj'ing steadily pushed on out of funds pro vided by Parliament. The first important work on this line is the Haerini bridge over the Waimapu, which has been linishrcl and opened by tbe County Council. The rojd from that point through tbe Te Puke settlement to Maketu, haa been cairied ou mainly by tbe County Council under the supervi-ion of tho Lands Depaitment, partly by tbe Armed Constabulary and partly by native labour. Tbc line of roaa from Opotiki to Ormond, by way of the Motu bridge, will shortly be open for stock-driving pnrpoaes, Tho line of road from Gisborne to Wairoa is i being simi'arly iu.p»oved, and the whole chain of communication from Tauranga to . tbo Wairoa will be thus openel for this class of traffic. In the' Waimate Plains, and in connection with native affairs at j Parilnka, several road works have been I ■ undertaken. [Tbc road works in the South j ■ Island were bere described.] , HARBOUR WORKS AND LIGUTHOUSES. ' 1 The small sum ot £2,000 providod for com \ mencing a retaining wall at Wcatport, has also all been expended or contracted for. 1 Tho item of £3,000 in aid of harbour works at Hokitika has been banded over to the Harbour Board there, imdcr whose super vision the work is being carried oul. The , removal of rocks at Catlin's River has taken ' longer than anticipated, but it will now be completed forthwith. The buoy rock at Nelson has been lowered, so as to obtain a minimum depth of reven feet of water at lowest tide?, A redlining wall at Collingwood of a tentative character is in progress, with the view of restoring tbo Aore River to its proper channel. On barbour works altogether the expendi ture out of public works' loans within the year have been £18,S10, aud tbe liabilities on the 31st Marc'i last were £4775 : total, £23,505. Under the heading of lighthouse?, the works completed during the year have not been very expensive or costly, but they will be of considerable utility to shipping, They consist principally of the lighting of Cape Egmont, two leading ligh's in Tofy Channel, and a beacon on the French Pais, erected as part of a propoßed scheme for lighting that place. In addition to these completed work*, pre paration has been made for the construction of lighthouses at Waipapa Point and in the Hauraki Gulf. For the Waipapa works the site baa been selcctrd, aud an order has been sent to Eugland for the light apparatus and lantmi; and for the Hauraki Gulf lighthouse the works were commenced in February last, all tho plant necessary being already in hand. PUBLIC BDIIfoINCS. For the public buildings generally the amount voted last session was £194,106. Ot this sum £128,356 was expended duiing the ■ year, and the liabilities at the end of March last amounted to £83,435 : total, £212,813. The portion of this expenditure including ■ liabilities devoted to North Island was £71,024, and to the Middle Islo.nd £141,179, and of these sums £26,272 in the North Maud and £48,453 in the Middle Island were devoted to school buildings. In the North Island, exclusive ef schcol Buildings and the asylum at the Whau, no . very large works have been completed, and tbc only buildings of considerable magni , tudo commenced have been the new post ' and telegraph offices, and the prison at Mount Cook, Wellington. In the Middle Island the asylums at Sunnyside and Scacliff aro the principal works in pro gress. It is expected that these two I asylums, when completed, wi'l compare favourably, both in appearance and in utility, with the best institutions of similar kind in England. The only other build ing of importance in progress is the new Court-honsrs at Oamaru, In all about thirty buildings in the North Island and forty buildings in the Middle Island have been cither in coupe of erection or altera tion, or under considerable repair within the year, COALFIELDS. The coal now used on tho New Zealand railways is entirely raised in the colony. Thus the lluruniii-Bluff section is supplied by contract from the following mines : — Springfield, Glen Tunnel, Home Bush, Shag Point, Kiiitangata, Nightcap, and West port. The only New Zealand coals in the market of a de-criptton suitable for marine purposes is that of the Kawakawa coal field, the Kamo mine, and the coal of the West Coast of the South Island, The former is very largely used by tho Union Steam Company. Turing the past year the development of the New Zealand coal fields has chiefly consisted in the extension of those mines which were already at work. Of these, there'is a noticeable improvement in the output from the Westpoit Company's mine at Westport, due principally to the in creased facilities for transpoit which have been provide Iby steamers. More steamers are in course of construction, which will tax the powers of the company's self-acting tramway to keep thorn constantly occupied. The Horanui mine is not yet putting coal in the market, , but will, shortly be able to do so. The Fiverton-Obautsu line bus bien instrumental iv causiog the X ightcaps coalfield to be opened up, aad two seams are now baing worked there. The company haviag constructed a short Hue to connect with the Government rail way, it is cxpect3d that when the Orepuki line is completed the fine coal seam in this locality will also be worked, and Southland will thus become entirely se'f-supportingin the matter of coal. Mines aro now opened ia Southland, Ofago, Canteibury, and Auckland, which are oapable of supplying the local wants of those districts, aud tho mine* at.Greymouth and Westport are being further developed, yielding veiy superior gas and steam coal respectively. Tho pub lished reports upon the contiol and inspec tion of mine.", show that the quantity of coal raised in the colony during the years 1878 to 1881 has steadily in creased, while the quantity imported has as eteadily decreased. During 1881, however, thefe is a slight increase in the imports as compa'ed with 1880, but the mc ease in the quantiiy rarsed in the oolony during 1881 is relatively as great as iv pre vious years, and far exceeds the increase of coal exports during the tame year. In view of these faots, and bearing in mind the increased facilities which are boing pro vided by the railways foi the transit of coal from the local mines to the centres of population near the seaboard, it may reasonably be assumed that the consump tion of local coal In the colony will become far more general than it is at present, and the importing of this commodity will grad ually diminish and finally cease. AVATERWORKS ON GOLDFIELD3. For waterworks on goldfields the sum of £22,000 was voted. Of this amount, £13,272 has been expended, and there were liabilities at tbe end of March last to tho extent of £6,606: t0ta1,|£19,938. Thewhole of this expenditure, including liabilities, was in the Middle Island, the principal item having been the Waimea-Kumara race, £12,086. Of the other expenditures, the only important ones were on the Mikouui race (£4388), and on the Charleston lace [{£3222).

I PROPOS'I/? FOR TBK ENSUING YEAR. I now corno ti tho proposals for the cur rent year, which comprise the scheme of distribution .of the loan, so far as it is avail able for railway construction over such of the worl« authorised as the Government consider should be pressed on as rapidly as possible. The Treasurer has told the House that the amount of tuc public works fund which, on the 31st of March last, remained in the hands of the Government free of all liabilities was £381,000, of which £100,000 waa reauircd by the Native Minister to conclude the purchase of some native lands. We have therefore a clear balance, after providiug for all money liabilities actually incurred, of £284,000, but I have already indicated to the House that to complete and properly equip our open lines will require a large sum, which is c -timated at £376,000, during the next 3 years, exclusive of fenciag arid othcrcontiDgenci"9, and this expenditure is not only necessary, as I have snown, on account of the uiexp ced and large in crease of traffic, but will a>*o materially facilitate the working of the line*, snd it is expected will consequently add to the revenue, bo that even without making pro vision for laud purcha-es, and withou' com mencing any further construction works, the required additions aud improvements to open new lines will practically exhaust the whole sum of £384,000, in hand on the 31st March. The greater part of the expendi ture is for works at Auckland, Timaru, and Dunedin, and the remainder is required fo: a'Jdiiions to the workshop] at Hillside and Addington. For such share of the coßt of heavier rails as is usually debited to loan, for minor works upon over 1,200 miles of railway, and for additional rolling stock, the House will be asked to make provision this session, I think it would be con venient if we assume for the purpose of simplifying the statement that the £100,000 needed durinz the present year by the Native Minister will be found out of the new loan, thus enabling the balance in hand to provide for the proposed expendi- j turo upon open lines, and leaving the con- j sideration of the question how best to apply the three million loan to further construc tion uncomplicated by the neces-ity for an alloca ion for improvements, or for further rolling stock. WORKS RECOMMENDED, In considerin? wbat shall be the work to be recommended for prosecution, let us look in the iirst place at the pro bab'e cost of completing the connec tion between Auckland aud Wellington, and between Picton and Invercirgi'l, and of other trunk lines. This cist is esti mated as follows :—From Te Awamutu southwards, £1,160,000; ta complete Napier to We'lingtoa and to cooncct with New Plymouth-Foxton line, £670,000; to complete New Plyrcouth-Foxton line, £75,000; to connect Picton. and Christ church, £1,209,000 ; to connect Ne'son and Greyroouth, £1,200,000; to connect Helens villeaud Kawakawa, £32,000; to construct the Otago Central, £1,000,000: total, £R,125,00u. Then further consider that to complete tbe vnious lines now in course of construction will cost over £700,000, and that, in addi tion, there is a large annual expenditure on public works, buildings, immigration, har bours and lighthouses, goldfields, and tele graph extension, besides some £200,000 required to complets our transactions in native laods, it will be seen that a loan of 10 millions to provide for all these objects, would not have been excP33ive. But it is beiievctl that to increase our public debt by £1,000,000 per annum \ was as much as prudence would perm't, and also that it was inadvisable to take authority to raise this annual million far a period beyond the time for which this present House is elected, witb-theexception that it i 3 prep ired to recammend the House to make special provision for the construc tion of the line from Te Awamntu southwards. These considerations de termined the Government to limit the amount of the loan for Immigration and general public works to three millions only, as announced io the financial statement, despite the fact that this sum can only ac complish a part of wbat it desires to be ac complished, .and it has decided to recom mend the following apportionment of tbe loan :—Railways : Kawakawa, to complete, £17,500 ; Whangarei-Kamo, to complete, £70,500; Hamilton-Cambridge, to com plete, £50,000; Bamilton-Te Aroha, to complete, £92,000; Thames-Te Aroha, Grahamstown to Kopua, £23,000 ; main trunk line irom Te Awamutu southwards, £10,000; Napier-Woodville, to complete, £160,000; Wellington-Woodville, exten sion from Masterton, £200,000 ; New Ply mouth-Foxton, to complete line of 195 miles, £75,000; Nelson-Roundel], exten sion from Belgrove, £40,000 ; Greymouth- Kccfeon extension, £100,000 ; main trunk line through South Island, extension southwards from Blenheim, £90,000 ; com pletion of Weka Pass and Horsleydown section, including bridges over the Hurunui, £75,000 ; main trunk line ex tension northwards, £180,000; Upper Ash burton branch extension, £15,000; Lincoln- Little River to complete, £30,000; Albany Creek branch extension to Badger's Jr/ass, £35,000; southward to Sheffield to com plete, £12,000 ; Livingstone branch Io comphte firt section,, £22,000; Palmers ton-Waibemo to oinplete, £18,000 ;"Catlin's River branch, to Complete section from main line to Port Molyneux Road, £22,000; Waipaki-Heriot Burn, to complete section to Swift Creek, £12,000; Kdendale to Toitois, to complete section to Maka •rets, £13,000; Otago central extension, £300,000; Lumsden Mararoa branch, to completo to Centre Hill, £35,000; River ton, Orepuki, to complete, £16,000; total £1,650,000. Purchase of native lands, £200,000; public buildings, £300,000; Im migration, £203,000. Roads to open up Crown lands, £200,000;. roads and bridges, £100,000; roads, wharves, and bridges north of Auckland, £100,000; goldfields, £100,000; harbours, £100,000; telegraph extension, £50,000: total, £1,350,000.— Grand total, £3,000,000. SPECI4L LOAN FOR THE TRUNE LINE THROUGH NORTH ISLAND. Hon. memberj will observe that towards the construction of the lino between Wai kato and the railways in the southern parts of the North Island, only £10,000 has been allocated, whibt the estimated oost of the work is £1,000,000. This is in conse quence of the deoision arrived at by tho Government that, as I have already said, for the construction of this line they would make separate provision, and for this purpose they have come to the conclusion, after careful consideration, to introduce a special loan Bill for one million, to be solely appliod to tbis purpo c as soon as circum stances will permit. In tho meantime the £10,000 allocated will enable surveys to be made to detormino the bost route, KFFEOr OF PROPOSED WORKS. With regard to tho works proposed generally, it is plain that the expenditure named is determined to a large extent by the present position of lines in the course of construction, and the necessity of either completing the branch lines or of carrying them ac all events to a conve nient terminus. If the proposals of the government are adopted by the House, the main lines will he so far advanced as to render their completion by the next Parliament a certainty. The New Plymouth-Foxton line will bo completed. Most of the branch lines will be completed, and the remainder will be carried to convenient places for the local-traffic, and be placed in a po-ition to yield a return on their cost. Large as is the share of the three million loan dedicated to works other than railways, it is less thau has been the rule sinoe the commencement of our public works policy, in 1870, even though for some years after its commencement the amount expended upon public buildings was very email. Since 1870, the increase of your publio debt, and the contributions in aid of the public works fund, amount to over £19,000,000, only £9,869,000 of which has been spent upon railways. VARIOUS POBLIC WORKS, The share of the proposed three million loan to be allocated to each branch of ex penditure other than railway construction has been carefully considered, andlimited In each case to as small an amount as possible. My hon. colleague, the Native Minister, hopes that with £100,000, in addition to the £100,000 which tbe Treasurer informed the House would be wanted very shortly, he will be able to close his transactions in native lands. For public buildings tho amount set aside is very small in comparison with the recent rate of expenditure. For example, last session the House voted for public buildings £194,106, and the a'mouDt spent within the year was £128,356, with outstanding liabilities of £84,457. The Government has come to the conclusion that it will be unwise for us to Continue to spend annually such a large portion of our barrowtd money on public buildings, and will therefore next year take other provision from the consolidated revenue tor a con siderable amount of the colony, consequently reasouably expect that not more than tho £300,000 asked for will be required from the loan. THE IMMIGBATION PROPOSED issolely a nominated imm'*gration,except for single women. It is believed the amount ; devoted to it ia sufficient.althougU I am glad

to say that the Minister for Immigration has in hand at tbe present moment more than 5,000 nominations of persons whom their friends in tsio colony desire to bring out, and there is no doubt that when tho Government advi.-rti.ic3 throughout the colony that tliey are prepaieed to receive nominations, the number will be largely in creased. I need not, say rhat the expendi tare upon immigration Is exceedingly profit able. We have spent upon it siuca 1870 rather less thau £2,0C0,0C0, or incurred an annual charge of about £100,010, and have introduced in all 101,214 persons. Since 1870 our population has in creased from 240,400 to 5:4,9i0, whilst at the same time our revenue, exclusive of the revenue derived from railways aid from Crown lands, has increased from C 935 000 to £2,414,0C6, a sure indication th 't the in troduction of tbis large body of immigrants, besides being very advantageous to the colony, aud proiitaole to the T.oasury, has enabled the immigrants themselves to attain to a condition of comparative comfort in their new home. OrENING CROWN LANDS. To the course which has been adopted during the past few years of opening up Crown lands before offering them for sale by a systematic plan of proper road", biidges, and drainage works, the Go vernment attach very great importance. The effrct of the work that has already been done in this direction, under the super vision of the Survey Department, is very apparent, not only m tbe increased price, which is obtained for lauds as they are put in the market, a result which might not if taken by itself be always desirable, b,nt in the mora rapid occupation and cultivation of the lands by those who settled upon it,- The plan which is adopted comprises the laying off linc3 of road which will ultimately tecomemain linesof communication through the country,and in the subdivision for pur-, poses of sale of blocks of land by tbe for mation of eros roads. 'I he Crown lands reaort, which is now upin the table, will supply full information as to the work which has been put ia hand during the past year, and the es'.imate when will be placed before you will give the details of tbo works of this character which it ia intended to 'prosecute in future. The fact that nearly half a million of acres will bs surveyed and available for sale during the current year, under the different provisions of the Land Act, will show hon. members that largely increased facilities, as compared with previous years,- are being afforded for settlement throughout the country, Possibly the amount set aside for roads and bridges nny seem needlessly large, seeing that the Government proposes to make special provision for works of this class, but, it must be remembered that, owing to the necessity which .haa existed for extending the expenditure of. the balance of our public works fund, over tbe interval, uniil we can borrow again, a considerable number of the works authorised lastiyear have not yet been com menced, but that, nevertheless, the local bodies look upon the p rants as being still available, and they are, .'moreover, works still to be carried out on such roads as the one from Cbristchurch to Hokitika, or that between Gre mouth and Net'on, or upon, the roads north of Auckland. Indeed, see ing that the portion of the colony lying north of Auckland is necessarily excluded from any further railway con-ttrnefcion out of the loan now proposer], tha Government deemed it only equit- » able to specially allocate for the roads, wharves, and bridges in that district, the sum of £100,000. It is, however, tbe intention of the Government to afford no further assistance to local works otherwise •han under the Bi'l proppaed to be intro. duced, and it is hoped ibis class of ex. penditure will soon cease to be a charge on oar public works fund, With regard to WORKS ON THE GOLDFIELDS, the proposals of the Government have a'ready been, placed upon the estimates, and upon conditions which it is believed, will cause the vote to be. more largely availed of than has been the cass -hereto. fore. Ia addition to the above sum from the consolidated fund, it is proposed to set aside £100,000 out of the new lose, partly for the making of roads and pp-tly for the construction of. water lace-,' to which Government has been practi cally committed by the previous expen diture of considerable amounts, the outlay on which would be thrown away unless the works were carried on to completion. The Government is sensible that in tbe past some of these works have beer* initiated upon estimates of the Gsvern* ment which subsequent experience lias proved to be entirely inadequate and fallacious; while in other "casca the cal culations as to the amount of paving ground to be served has been founded on insufficient data. Keports have been obtained which will give to hon. members , a tolerably correct view of the present posi. tion of the works in question. On tbe Mikonui water-race the construction of tba section now in hand involves on expenditure cf £20.000. The expenditure will be entirely useless unless the work is continued ovec a period of four years. [Mr Johnston re« ferred to the Nelson Creek, water-race, and other water-races on the West Coast.] Tbo reefs at Te Aroha give considerable prorciaa for the future, and the estimates contain a provision for assisting-a tramway for the carriage of quartz from the ro'mes in that district. ~ j THE HARBOUR WORKS W fW?u i y«ESPOB?,d to Proceed with ont of the £100,000 sll/ocated to this class, are principally the works at Grey, mouth and Hokitika. At Westport, to make tho uver serviceable for. ships of considerable tonnage, a very large expendi-. turo would be required, which Sir John Coode estimated at £488,776 for the twa \ outer breakwaters alone, and even if these breakwaters are built to only half tide " height, as has been suggested, their con. struction will still require a very large surd which it will be difficult to provide for one locality. The Government, therefore, is disposed to consider the possibility of mak ing some concession to tbe coal companies^ m consideration of which they would con. traot to expend, within a limited period, upon approved harbour works a sum to be agreed upon. This class of expend tare also, it is confidently hoped, will dis* appear from the schedule of future loam Bills. SUCCESS OF RAILWAYS. Generally, it will be the effort of the Gov« ernnient to make, to a much greater ex teat.than has hitherto been, the case, nil further loans to be loans for railway con struction. There can bo no doubt of tba enormous benefit which has accrued to lha colony from its railways. As against the small difference of little over 1 per cent; between their net earnings and the interest upon the cost of construction, the colonists have gained a cheap,tafe,and rapid haulage of goods,^ reaching last .year to 1,437,714 tons, besides facilitating the travelling of passengers, increasing to 2,911,477 during the same period. The annual saving to the people thus obtained.must of itself amount to a considerable part of the whole expen diture upon railways. In addition, the value ot property served by the railway system has greatly increased. Moreover, tbe burden of the maintenance of a long length of roadway must be very much lessened by the relief afforded by tho diver sion of the traffic to tha railway. The colony has also gained by the promotion of settlement and by the greatly increased prlcos obtained iv some cases for Crown lands, as for instance on the Waimato Plains. I may be permitted to express here my regret that the Hate did not from < the commencement of the public works pohcy_take t.ossrssion of considerable areas of land, iv suitable localities, in the vicinity of the proposed railway lines, in order to cut them up. or sell them in small home steads. This, course would not only have largely diminished the cost of our rail* ways, but would also have sensibly added, to their earn!ags and the direct and in. direct taxation which this additional popu. lation would have contributed to the Trea* sury might have made it possible to alio . yiate to some extent taxation generally. It , is, therefore, almost superfluous for me to* add, in conclusion, that the Government is thoroughly oouvinced ef the advisability ol completing our railway sjstem; that it \n an essential part of its policy to Complete. the construction as rapidly as possible of the main trunk lines in both Islands, and of desirable branch lines as soon as circumstances will permit, and that it will gladly see private enterprise supplement the work Undertaken by the colony, by taking advantage of the Railway Construction Act of last year, and of the District Bail ways Act. With tbia policy the colony will continue to make tbe progress and enjoy the prosperity which we now happily experience, and )f tha policy is carried ont with prudence, there ia no reason to doubt that the prosperity will be enduring. On the conclusion of the statement, Mt Montgomery moved the adjournment, and this being at once agreed to, the House rose at eighteen minutes before 9 o'clock. '
