WAY AND WORKS.

The Commis,;:ioners have now made a complete inspection of the \Vay nml 'Vorks, and

arc able to state tlmt the expt>mlitnre of the oalanee of tl1e nmonnt estimated as r<"quired for "Belated ltepairH," viz., £1!H,087 iu lhe ,yt>nr ending- 3Uth .lane, 1904·, :111rl £SO,OOO in the

require to he nugrnPHted ln· rPason of immfficient fuud~ haviug bec·n provi(led iu t.llt' past for main­

f'IH111CC and l'('lll\\nds.

AMaclJed hc1·eto will be found a ~tateuwut (Appenl~ix .'t\o. ;3) of tlw (•xpc·nditure (£074,0:!7) Oil neeounr of Capital for mldi.tion~ and impron,ments to ihe \Yay and \\'ork~>, \Yhiub, exclusive

On Yarions important lines a large nmnber of the Ln·irlge~>, rn·igiually of light c·OJJstrnetion, are,

umll'l' the heaYicr rolling stock now in nse, ;;traiue!l beyond the factor of ~afety ,,~hieh i,; con~istent with

commeJ~ecd fo1·th witl1 and be completed as eady a;; practieabh·.

The provi,;ion of stronger bridges ~will be a distinet betterment, because it will admit of llle use

of hen der engi11c::< capable of hauling: gTeater loads, alHl thus increase tlw net earniug power of the

Hailways. A proportion of the outlay invoJv~cd will, therefo1·e, be ehat'ged to Capital in accordance

with the principle defined in AppPndix No. iJ. On aceount of t1Ii'l work, a sum of £147,000, inchuled iu

Appendix .No. 3, ~will be chaJ•geable to Capital, and a fm-tht'l' ;;um of £184:,000 to \Yorkiug :Expeuse~.

until the ~wl1ole ~cheme has been eompleted. 'l'he St:ltion :md Yard in their prc,enl condition are a source

()f (liscomfort and inconvenience to tl1e pnblie and of expen~e to the UepnrLnwut, and the Commissioners

are, therefon·, of the opinion that, if the finance>;.; admit, the work ;;hoult1 be completed without

further delay.

Dt>tail drawings and qnantliil'R for the Station as now contemplated have only lately

been linished, and eight altt'rnative estimates of cost (based on theHe drawings and quantities) will be

found in Appendix So. 4.

The Cmumi;;sioners favor a ,;tation as per Alteruative Scheme No. 8, because with sueh a long

fwntage a fonr-story building will haye better proportions thnn a bnil<liug of three stories, aud the rents

of olliees, etc .. on the fonrth fioot· will, it. is believed, more than pny the adtlitional amount requiretl

for inten'st on the cost of the extra story and for its mn.intenance. The difference in the cost of one roof

over the platforms, lines of way, and Swanston-strect footbridge, and of separate roofs over the platforms

and footLl'idge only-viz., £48,500, is too to justify the provision of the former.

The co~t of the 1vbok work, induding tlw L'e-mTaHgument of track:-;, inteeloukiug aml signals,

The pier accommodation at \Villmmstown and Geelong should be increased, aml electrieally

SPE:NCER-STREET P ASSENGim S'l'ATJON.

The present Station is inconvenient for the publie, insufficient for the traffic, and discretlitable IJOLh

to the Depadment and the State, lmt in Yiew of the large ontlay involved in the construction of a suitable

new station, and the re-annngemPnt anil improvement of the tracks which wonld he required in connediou

therewith, the CommiRsioners feel that He work should not be nndedakeu until there is a t·onsiderable

improvement in the finanee~, aml tlte work when unclt•rtn.ken can be eal'l'ied on to completion "·ithout

interruption, and they hn.Ye not, therefore, made ltny provision in Appendix No. 3 f<n· the improyement -of the accommodation fm· the passenger trattic at this station.
