South Australian Border Railways Adjustment Account.

Under the agreement which was made in 1912 between the Victorian and South Australian Governments-and which was ratified by Act No. 242-i-in connexion with the construction of the lines from Murrayville to Pinnaroo, and from l\falanganee to Mount Gambit>r, this f:\tatc is obliged to pay to South Australia. in such manner as may be agreed upon. a capitalization on a 4 per cent. basis of the average annual profit made h:y Victoria at the expense of Kouth Australia during the ~even financial years ended 30th June, 1930. 'rhe 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 way of the border lines, in excess of the net revemw (similarly calculatt>d) derived hy the other State.

The amnnnt thus payahle iR £z_ib.!"'oo, of which tzo,ono was paid to South Australia, in I03G--JI and eharged to the \Vorki11g expt:mses of that year.

The principal items of production at the bakery were :--Raisin and prune bread II5,4()6 loaves Pies, pasties, &c. 56,!40 dozen Cake 20,g18 lb.

The number of articles treated at the laundry for all sections of the Department totalled II2,734 dozen.

Ninety thousand and seventy-two bottles of milk and 16,964 luncheon cartons were sold to railway patrons.

Despite reduced earnings, the dining car on the Sydney express returned a profit for the year. The number of meals supplied was 44,202.

The bookstalls revenue amounted to £57,348, a falling-off of approximately IO per cent., notwithstanding which the business was conducted at a satisfactory trading profit.

The Chalet, Mt. Buft"alo National Park. There was a slight increase in the number of visitors, hut the 1·evenue decreased

by £1,343 due to the reduced tariff brought into operation for the winter season and the Christmas holidays. It was necessary to adjust the tariff in ord~r to meet the lowered spending power of the community, otherwise a considerable loss of patronage by tourists would probably have resulted.

Following is a comparison of the number of visitors and revenue for the year, compared with the preceding year :--

1930-3! .. I93I-32 •.

No. of Visitors. Revenue.

£24,656 £23,313

The loss on the year's working was approximately £2,806, after allowing for interest and all charges except the writing down of the capital value of the buildings. This loss is due mainly to the lower revenue, but there were also accident expenses to be met and the cost of rehabilitating the motor transport to enable it to cope satisfactorHy with the demanffil during the winter season. In addition, The Chalet has met, from its O>V'll revenue resources, the charges necessary for the maintenance of the buildings in first class condition, and for the various improvements carried out during the year, as well as for the writing down in value of the plant and equipment and the motor fleet.

The working costs have been reduced to the minimum consistent with giving efficient and acceptable service to patrons. Economic conditions have for the time being prevented our realizing the expectation that The Chalet would become self-supporting, but it must not be forgotten that it is a factor of substantial and increasing value to the community in the development of tourist travel, both local, Interstate, and from overseas.

One reason which has operated against the financial po::-;ition of The Chalet is the fact that it has no liquor licence. In this respect it is placed at a disadvantage by comparison with other first-class accommodation houses such as those at Mount Kosciusko and Jenolan Caves.

A licence would assist materially in converting The Chalet from (under existing economic conditions) a losing proposition into a paying one. Apart from this fact, we are satisfied that in view of the isolation of The Chalet and of the climatic and other conditions, the properly regulated sale of liquor would be a decided convenience to guests. It would also be a decided advantage to the management, as it would place the control of liquor in its hands, and it 1vould reduce surreptitious drinking, as it would eliminate any necessity for visitors to bring drink with them.

\Ve have on a nurnber of occasions represented that legislation should be passed which would enable us to hold a licence at The Chalet, subject to approval by the Licensing Court. This is the one thing lacking at present to enable complete service to be provided, and we would strongly urge that such action bo tak.en without further delay.

Advertising. As foreshadowed in last year's report, a decrease both in revenue and profits

was experienced by the Advertising Division. The revenue totalled £42,423 as against £55,425 in 1930-31, and the profit was £2g,8gr as compared with £38,536. The exercise of strict economy in expenses resulted in the working costs being reduced and a still greater ratio of profit being obtained. Intensive sales work on sound and original lines has resulted in the widening of the field of endeavour, so that in a large measure new· business has helped to atone for that unavoidably lost through the existing economic stringency.

The Staif. The total staff at 3oth June was zr,zgo, comprising r8,581 permanent officers

and employees, and 2,709 supernumeraries. Owing, however, to the "rationing" system operating in many grades, and

to other factors, the quotation of these numbers does not convey an accurate impression either of the effective strength of the staff or of the variation in such strength.

The most accurate figures which can be used for this purpose are those embodied in the concluding portion of Appendix No. 7, which are compiled not on the basis of individuals (working in many cases less than full time), but on the basis of man-days. They thus combine the number of individuals employed and the time they work in a figure representing "full-time" employees.

In addition, they afford a survey covering the year as a whole, instead of the position at the end of the year, which may not fairly represent the true situation owing to depletion or otherwise of funds available at that stage for various works, &c.

The average staff for 1931-32 (on the man-day basis) wa,s 20,694, as compared ·with 22,592 the preceding year--~a reduction of 1,898, due partly to the lesser volume of business and curtailment of the works programme, but reflecting also the constant efforts which have been made to effect economy by re-organization and amalgamation of posit.ions and altered methods of working. ~

Owing to the reduced operations of the Department, no appointments to the permanent staff \Yore made during the year. The arrangements for absorbing some of the surplus staff in other Departments were continued as far as practicable, and 236 officers and employees of various grades are now on loan to other State Services­an increase of Sg during the year.

The arrangements for spreading emplorment by utilizing smplus staff to work off Sunday time and overtime v.-herever practicable were continued.

The amounts disbursed to the staff in salaries and w·ages during the past three years were :~

Wage Fixing Tribu11als. Apart from quarterly "cost-of-living., adjustments, the wages o.E the staff

have been stabilized at the position mention.ed in our last report. This position, it may be recalled, was the outcome of proceedings under which the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration set aside (except as regards basic wage and standard hours of duty) awards embracing a large section of the staff, and further reduced the basic wage by ro per cent., while the Hailways Classification Board made a similar reduction in the margins over the basic wage.

During the year the various unions made application to the Arbitration Court for the cancellation of the IO per cent. reduction, but after a protracted hearing the application was refused.

The only business of importance dealt with by the Railways Classification Board during the year was our application for a reduction in the rates of expenses payable to officers and employees on duty away from head-quarters. An award was made which reduced Fmch rates by amonnt'l mn~in:_; from :5 to IO cont.

Education and Recreation. The .educational classes in railway and commercial subjects conducted by the

Victorian Railways Institute continue to be freely availed of by the staff. Enrolments in classes have, however, been affected by the adverse conditions prevailing; the suspension of promotions within the Department; and the lack of new appointments to the service. In the circumstances the enrolment of a total of r,975 students for the year, or 236 less than in 1930-3!, is satisfactory.

Special attention is accorded by the Council to the educational aspect of the work of the Institute.

It is pleasing to note that as at 30th J1me, 1932, the membership of the Institute had increased by 380, the total membership at that date being ro,8or. During the year, r,ro5 new members were enrolled, compared with r,76o in 1930-31 and 450 in !929-30.

"'With the aEsistance of money granted out of the Government's Unemployment Fund, through the Melbourne City Council who supported the Institute Council in its application, a recreation ground has been established at Royal Park partly on park land and partly on adjoining railway land. This development in the work of the Institute will be an important factor in increasing the membership of the Institute and creating an interest in other phases of its work.

The Institute continues to be conducted in an efficient and economical manner.

Tourist and Geueral Publicity. The publicity programme this year, although necessarily somewhat limited by

the restricted funds available for the purpose, was satisfactorily carried out, and we have reason to believe that it has been productive of good results in many directions.

\Vide publicity was again given to the State's chief holiday resorts, and to the "bargains" in railway travel offered from time to time throughout the year. In addition, exhaustive distribution was given to thousands of pamphlets and leaflets directing attention to the existing problems of railway finance. These appealed to the people of the State to make the fullest possible use, in the interests of national economy, of their own railway system, in preference to the unregulated and largely irresponsible rival motor services which are active competitors for the more easily handled and most payable classes of traffic between the metropolis and practically every country centre where there is any substantial concentration of business.

\Vool-growers, also tobacco-growers, were actively canvassed for their business by local advertisements, wireless broadcasting, and pamphlets which supplemented the personal interviews arranged wherever practicable. Those means undoubtedly helped to conserve and in some cases succeeded in regaining to the railway the traffic in those commodities, both of which arc particularly susceptible to the inducements offered by road operators.

Throughout the year there was a noticeable increase in propaganda issued by the motor interests jn support of read transport. Much of the matter published contained inaccurate and misleading statnnents detrimental to the railways. Suitable publicity measures were taken in order to place the truth before the public.

We are glad to say there are many gratifying evidences that the community generally~largely, we believe, as the result of our publieity-is beginning to realize more clearly than at any previous period, the important part which railways play in the financial structure of the State and the necessity for their being adequately safeguarded.

(In another section of this report the problem of road competition is referred to further.)

The publication of the monthly .Sews Letter was continued during the year, its distribution being confined to the staff. By this means, we were enabled to extend our appeals to all railwaymen for their co-operation in furthering the interests of the service. Much interesting and topical railway news was also disseminated. \Ve are satisfied that the Ncu·s LetteT is proving a valnah1r link lH~tween the arlministration and the stafL

Road Motor Competition. We-have again to express our deep sense of disappointment that another year

should have closed without legislative action for the economic co-ordination of road and rail transport.

We have in previous reports stressed the economic dangers of road transport being permitted to operate without regulation or control, in competition with the railway system. During the year further important developments in competitive road transport caused us much concern. The number of road freight services operating between Melbourne .and country centres increased substantially. Generally speaking, however, these were carried on by individual owners or by concerns of relatively . small magnitude, and there was no evidence of the existence of any large vested interests in the competitive road motor transport business until recently, when a large receiving depot in the metropolis was established by a newly-created company.

The depot is advertised as having accommodation for 100 country carriers. Tlw grave importance of this development cannot be over-estimated. Other companies will no doubt follow suit, and the time can be visualized when a well­organized system of competitive road transport will be depriving the railways of practically the whole of the higher-class, more payable traffic, which is, of course, the only traffic with which road transport competing with the railways seriously concerns itself.

The success of road transport in securing this selected traffic is attributable to the lower rates charged, Railway rates are fixed with a view to covering the over-all cost of railway service. But primary produce and other low-grade traffic, which comprise approximately two-thirds of the freight handled, must, for obvious reasons, be carried at very low rates, which do not contribute proportionately to the cost of providing railway s,ervice. A share of the cost of handling this traffic must therefore be obtained from the rates upon the higher-class commodities, the marketing of which is affected only to a relatively small extent by the freight charges.

This principle of railway rating-which is necessary for the development and protection of primary production and could not be discarded without adversely affecting the interest~ of the whole community-is the real explanation of the vulnerability of the railways to road competition for the high-grade commodities. If a flat railway rate could be fixed--and obviously it could not be-for all classes of goods, road competi­tion for freight certainly could not exist. The average freight charged by the railways for carrying I ton of goods I mile-I .4d.-is full justification for this assertion.

The loss of the bulk of the high-grade, payable traffic, with a consequent further loss in other traffic which will be carried by the road services on the return trip for any rates obtainable, would place the railway finances in an utterly hopeless position. Staggering deficits would be inevitable, and essential railway service would be imperilled.

We determined therefore to adopt every practicable means, however drastic in their consequences, to avert what could only be regarded as a national catastrophe. Steps were taken, and are still being continued, to follow the road competitors from place to place and to offer rates, regardless of the standard charges, sufficiently attractive to regain the lost business to the railways. This is a development of the course which we entered upon some three years ago, but which was discontinued when there appeared to be prospects of legislation to control the situation.

'Ve are fully convinced that no other effective course is open to us. It is solely a question of rates, and we are now meeting our competitors on that ground.

Unfortunately, the action now being taken will involve immediate loss of revenue, hut unquestionably the loss will be much less than the ultimate amount involved if nothing were done to check the unregulated competition.

In addition to road freight services, five-seater passenger cars are still operating without restriction of any kind, practically everywhere throughout the State, except upon the five banned highways. The activities of these services are adversely affecting railway revenue to an important extent, and they are also having a seriously detrimental effect upon many of the licensed omnibus services operating under contract with the Department as " feedem '' to the railways.

In an endeavour to retain traffic to the rail, specially cheap fares, lower than the road fares, h[tve been put into operation on the W onthaggi line for a trial period, while similar steps were taken to meet the intensive road cowpctition football traffic in the country, and to encourage long-distance suburban travel in the suburbs in connexion with Association football matches.

Other examples of the same kind, made with the object of promoting travel, were reductions for long journeys in the Cheap Excursion fares, for a "'Mystery" train for hikers on King's Birthday, and in the fares and guarantees for large picnic parties travelling to tourist resorts. In addition, Cheap Excursion fares were charged for travel by special trains to Sydney in connexion with the opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. These trains conveyed nearly 4,ooo passengers, and resulted in a Victorian revenue of £6,ooo.

The need for the economic co-ordination of the respective transport facilities has been recognized throughout Australasia, and legislation to this end has been passed, except in Western Australia and Victoria. The tendency throughout the world is definitely in the direction of co-ordination in place of unnecessary and costly duplication. ~

We are gratified to learn that it is the intention of the Government to introduce legislation based on similar principles, and we earnestly hope that an appropriate measure will be passed at the earliest possible moment.

Departmental Road Motor Services. Hoad motor hus services, connr~cting; with the railway system, were continued

on the following routes :--Upper Ferntree Gully-Belgrave 1\lonbuJk: l'pper .Ferntree Gully-BeJgrave-Cockatoo ; East Camberwell-Deepdeno--East Kmv; am1 Lilydale-Warburton.

There \Vas a slight increase in the patronage on the Upper Berntree Gully­Belgrave-'Monbulk route, the operation of which has enabled substantial savings to be effected on the narrow-gauge ra,ilway line.

On the Bast Camherwell~Deepdene-East Kew route also there was an increase in traffic.

An alteration in the route of the I~ilydale-\Varburton service has reduced the mileage to a minimum, while adjustments in the running schedules decreased the over-all travelling time between .J'Ielbourne and Warburton by 27 minutes on the " down " and 5 minutes on the '' up " journey on week-days. That this service is a valuable feeder to the railways is indicated by traffic tallies, which disclosed that .approximately 8o per cent. of the passengers use the rail service to and from Lilydale.

The Melbourne-Geelong road goods service carried an increased tonnage of 642 tons, and showed a profit of £725 for the year's operations. This service is retaining to the Department business which was being given to the road competitors to handle.

The system of collection and delivery of parcels and goods is still in operation at Gee]ong and is not waning in popularity. It offers a convenient and speedy means of transport by road and rail to and from business houses. This system is ensuring trnffie to the rail which, if handled by competitors in Geelong, would probably be taken to Melbourne and other places direct by road whenever the opportunity offered.

The system of transferring less than truck load lots of goods by road motor between the Melbourne Goods Sheds and suburban stations is still in operation on the following routes :--

Melbourne Goods-~Plinders Street. , , Sandringham and Mordialluc lines. , , Oakleigh line. , , Box Hill, Blackburn, and Ke\v lines.

" " , .,

Victoria rark and Reservoir line. X orth Fitzroy and Coburg lines. \Yest Footscra5·, ~ewport, and Williamstov~'ll-.

40

This method of dealing with small lots of goods continues to give quick service and economical transport.

An extension of this service has been made to include the collection of small lots of tobacco at the various portions of the Melbourne Goods Sheds for cartaae to Flinders~street and Spencer~street for despatch by passenger train.

Powers Electric .A.ccoun ting Machines and Re-organization of Workshops Costing Methods.

The use of the Powers electric accounting machines was further extended during the year by the introduction of a mechanical system of accounting for materials consumed in the workshops at Newport, thus affording considerably more detailed information than it was possible to obtain under manual methods and enabling a more efficient and effective control to be exercised.

The procedure which has been introduced with such highly satisfactory results at the Newport Rolling Stock Branch workshops has been adopted as the standard costing practice to be extended to all railway workshops.

As a preliminary step towards the amalgamation of the Newport Signal and Telegraph Branch workshops and the Spotswood Way and Works Branch workshops, arrangements were made for the introduction .. of the new system at the Spotswood workshops and subsequently for the consolidation of the costing procedure of these two workshops into one organization located at Spotswood. This consolidation has been ?ffeeted and a substantial saving in clerical cost aehieved.

State Coal Mine. After payment of working expenses, loan redemption and interest charges, and

aft.er allowing for a contribution of £3o,ooo to the Depreciation Fund, the operations of the Mine resulted in a loss of £93,616. . .

This result was occasioned by the much reduced prices ruling for l\Iaitland coal-such prices forming the basis (allowance being made for the difference in heating, &c., values) of the prices paid for State Mine coal utilized by the railways. At the beginning of 1930-31 coal so utilized was being paid for at 21s. 8d. per ton for screened and 18s. per ton for slack. These figures had been reduced at the beginning of 1931-32 to 1gs. and 12s. rrd. per ton respectively, and during the currency of the year fell to 13s. per ton for large and 9s. 8d. per ton for slack coaJ.

The quantity of coal braced during the year was 526,278 tons. The saleable output {which is exclusive of local consumption, miners' household coal, allowances, and waste) was 499,644 tons. Of this quantity 429,461 tons were supplied to the Railways Department ; 9,599 tons to other Public Departments, and 6o,584 tons to the general public. ·

During the year operations \Vere suspended on account of strikes, stop-work meetings, and the like for four days ; on account of fatal accidents for four days, and on account of shortage of trade for 8o days. Last year a total of 55 days was lost altogether.

The average number of persons employed throughout the year was r,668, compared with 1,774 employees during the previous financial year.

The number employed is much in excess of requirements and does not represent a "full time " staff, as the employees have been securing o:p1y six or seven days' work per fortnight. This situation, which originated from the employment of a large number of additional men dming the cessation of work on the Maitland coalfields tw0 or three years ago, presents undesirable features, and since the close of the year 'Ne have taken steps towards reducing the staff to actual requirements.

In the period under review an amount of £376,688 was disbursed in wages. rrhe net average daily earnings of the contract miners, after deducting the cost or explosives, were 24s. rod.

In view of the heavy loss sustained in working, \Ye instituted proceedings in June last \Yith the object of obtaining relief from the high rates of payment in operation at the Mine. This indirectly resulted, soon after the close of the financial year, in the passing of State legislation establishing a State Coal Mine Industrial Tribunal, from which an interim award has just been received, effecting a reduction of 20 per cent· in wages and contract mining rates.

Acknowledgment of Services of Statf. We have pleasure in again recording our appreciation of the excellent se~vice

~;:::iven by the Staff. Despite the financial sacrifices which hav~ been imposed upon all sections in

consequence of the economic crisis, there has been no decline in the morale of the servie<'. On the contrary, officers and employees alike have responded freely to the call to put fort.h their hest efforts in the difficult times through which the Department is passing.

There are many evidences~including numerous letters of appreciation--of the co-operation between the employees and the patrons of the Department, and of the recognition by the staff of the need for them to function as active business agents for the organization, rather than to confine themselves to the routine performance of tJJ(;ir dutiPs.
