RAILWAY REVENUE RECEIVED FROM DEPARTMENTS OF THE PUBLIC SERVICE, INCLUDING THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT, DURING THE YEARS ENDING 31st MARCH, 1893, 1894, 1895, AND 1896.

Return to an Order of the Houee of Representatives dated 15th July, 1896. Ordered, " That there be laid before this House a return showing the revenue received by the Railway Department from each department of the public service, including the Public Works Department, during the years ending 31st March, 1893, 1894, 1895, and 1896."—(Mr. G. W. Russell.)

NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. Return showing Revenue received from each Department of the Public Service during the Years ending 31st March, 1893, 1894, 1895, and 1896.

* Previous to the financial year 1895-96 it was the practice for many of the Government departments to pay the Railway Department for tickets, and for all the Government departments to pay freights for parcels and goods. Thus, for the year 1895-96, the Postal, Education, Police, and Defence Departments made payments to the Railway Department for services not previously charged for, while the Railway Department similarly made payments for postal and telegraph facilities. The amount for 1895-96 credited to the Railway Department is on this account larger than in previous years. This is alluded to in the first page of the New Zealand Railways Statement for 1896, where it is shown that the net amount of £18,428 has been added to the railway revenue as net payments by Government departments for services, which services were not previously paid for.
