V^ Commonwealth of Australia.
Department of Home Affairs, Melbourne, SOth September, 1916. Dear Sir,
Herewith is forwarded for your information Digest No. 25, compiled from the Home Affairs " Digests," which were inaugurated by me in December, 1910, furnishing particulars of the present state of the various sites being acquired and the more important, works and other matters dealt with by this Department, &c. Works under £50 for each State, excepting Tasmania, are not included in these Digests, but such works are being carefully watched and expedited.
It is hoped that, as one of the responsible Public Trustees of the Commonwealth, you will make it your special duty to forward any information which may come under your notice in regard to negli- gence on the part of those responsible for the execution of any of these national necessities.
Fortnightly reports are received from the State Public Works Departments showing the progress made in connexion with those works which are being executed on behalf of the Commonwealth.
Digests prepared by the Ministers of other Departments, by the Commonwealth Prices Board, and by the Governor of the Common- wealth Bank, are also included.
It is hoped that the information contained in these Digests will enable Members to be in constant touch with the action of Departments, and will obviate the necessity for their visiting one Department after another in search of particulars respecting Commonwealth public utilities.
Minister for Home Affairs.
Copy of Digests sent to all Senators and Members of the Hoitse of Representatives. C.13584.

FEDEKAL TEERITOEY.
Colonel David Miller, C.M.G., the Administrator, having been appointed by the Ministei for Defence as Commandant, Military Camps, New South Wales, on condition that he should devote all his ability to carrying out his military duties, the Minister for Home Affairs is now carrying on the active administration of the Territory.
Instructions were issued by the Minister on the 15th November, 1915, that the contract entered into between Mr. W. B. Griffin, author of the first premiated design for the Federal Capital on the one hand, and the Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs (the Right Honorable Joseph Cook, M.P.) on the other hand, on behalf of the Commonwealth, should be given full effect to. Under that contract Mr. Griffin was constituted Federal Capital Director of Design and Construction, and no operation or matters in connexion with that city can be initiated without his advice having been obtained thereon. All those doing work in the Territory are under the Director, to whose instructions they are expected to be readily responsive. It is hoped that, with their loyal co-operation with Mr. Grifiin in executing the policy of the Minister, co-ordination of effort and purpose may finally be achieved.
RE-APPOINTMENT OF MR. GRIFFIN.
On the 15th April, 1916, the Minister wrote to Mr. W. B. Griffin, Federal Capital Director of Design and Construction, as follows : — Dear Mr. Griffin,
On the 14th instant Cabinet unanimously agreed to invite you to accept an extension o j"Our contract with the Commonwealth Government to act as Federal Capital Director of Design and Construction for a further term of three (3) years, as from the expiration of the current term on 18th October next, and under the same conditions of functions and remuneration as in the present contract. Ministers took into full consideration the necessities of the position of the work in hand and projected under the administration of this Department in connexion with the Federal Capital and directed and controlled by you, and I have now pleasure in enclosing -a Minute of the contract conditions which I shall be pleased if you will sign and return to me.
I should like to say here how much I personally appreciate having the advantage of your high technical skill and knowledge in connexion with the operations in the Federal Capital Territory, and in the hope that with your aid the whole construction will be carried out systematically and economically, and that we will be enabled for the future to avoid the want of cohesion, co-operation, and co-ordination which has resulted in such large and unwise expenditures at Canberra. I trust that you will see your way to accept this invitation to place your services at the further disposal of the Commonwealth Government.
Yours faithfully,
(Signed) KING O'MALLEY,
Minister for Home Affairs.
On the 18th April, 1916, Mr. Griffin accepted re-appointment in these terms : —
The Hon. King O'Malley,
Minister for Home Affairs. Sir,
RE FEDERAL CAPITAL WORKS.
I am pleased to acknowledge receipt of your letter of 15th April instant commimicating the Cabinet's request of renewal of my agreement for three years from the expiry of current term, and which, after due consideration, I have decided to accept, and, as desired, I return herewith my consent thereto, and am prepared to sign any fresh agreement that may be required.
Yours truly,
(Signed) W. B. GRIFFIN, Federal Capital Director of Design and Construction.
Federal Territory — continued, 52
Mr. O'Malley replied as follows on the 18th idem ;—
Dear Mr. Griffin,
I have to thank you for your letter of 17th instant, accepting the renewal of your engagement as Federal Capital Director of Design and Construction for a further term of three years from the 18th October next. I do not see any necessity for the signing of any further documents, the extension being on the conditions contained in the present contract, as indicated in the letters we have exchanged.
Yours faithfully,
(Sgd.) KING O'MALLEY,
Minister for Home Affairs. W. B. Griffin, Esq.,
Federal Capital Director of Design and Construction, Melbourne.
MINISTERIAL INQUIRY INTO AFFAIRS AT CANBERRA.
On the 25th February, 1916, the Minister made the following public state ment : —
[Extract from Argus (Melbourne), of 26th February, 1916.] Federal Capital. — Mr. O'Malley's Inspection.
Profound Disappointment. — Intrigue and Bickering.
The Minister for Home Affairs (Mr. O'Malley) paid an official visit last week to the Federal Capital site at Canberra, and he was not very favorably impressed with what he saw. He made a statement yesterday, criticising the works hitherto carried out unsparingly. He declared that thousands of pounds had been wasted on the Capita], and that official intrigue and bickering had played a large part in the blunders that had already been committed.
" It is now three years," Mr. O'Malley said yesterday, " since it fell to me to take part in the historic function of laying the foundation stone of the commencement column at Canberra. I visited it again last week, and my feeling was of profound disappointment. Since my last visit some £600,000 has been spent, and it is clear that much of that has not been wisely spent. There are no structures, other than temporary buildings of weatherboard and galvanized iron, placed in positions where they form no part of any definite plan, and from which they must necessarily be eventually removed, and they have cost some £70,000,
" So with roads. This item stands for a sum of some £90,000, and the greatest part of it refers to maintenance of old existing tracks, which had been laid down without plan or consideration, and from which the permanent roads, when made, must widely deviate. Another £35,000 was spent on a railway on a massively permanent basis. The line runs through, not around, the site of one of the lakes. It appears that a cheap temporary line, for construction purposes only, was required, but apparently it was not thought necessary to advise the New South Wales Government authorities, who built the line, and they built it on a heavy, expensive, permanent plan.
" There are, I am informed, many places where suitable materia] for brickmaking may undoubtedly be obtained, but the site where a very elaborate brickworks has been installed is in the best residential area. What that means in the depreciation of property and destruction of ornamental effect a consideration of the brickworks at Toorak would indicate. Moreover, the works are three miles from the nearest railway. The power-house, useful doubtless, is yet a very conspicious unomamental mass on the very ornamental water front, where it will loom far larger in the picture than the buildings which are to cost hundreds of thousands of pounds, and which will form the leason for the existence of the city.
" I find that the sum of £15,000 was expended last year at the Capital itself on adminis- tration, and that in previous years it has been as high as £25,000 ; and, be it remembered, this does not include the cost of surveying, nor yet the costs at the Melbourne offices. For such an expenditure as this I had hoped to find some evidence of foresight and organization.
" That is the past. What is lost is gone. But there would be no sense in not deriving a lesson from the consideration of extravagant, objectless expenditure. There has been official intrigue and bickering. It must stop. In no Government department can the whole resources of the Commonwealth be applied to the attamment of some petty official end. There has been many policies in the department, and many officers who have exceeded their powers. In the future, whilst I am in the department, there can be room for but one Minister.
"I know that whenever a reform is mooted the Public Service Act is quoted as the lion in the path. If the Public Service Act is but a buckler to official conservatism and prevents introducmg economic business methods and organization into my department, which the condition of affairs at Canberra shows to be absolutely essential, then I shall close down upon all purposeless expenditure until Parliament meets and has had an opportunity of remedying the defect.
53 Federal Territory — continued,
" So far as I am concerned, there must be system and there must bo unity of plan. The authority for that plan, also the authority for its economic execution was vested in Mr. Griffin by a former Government, and it has given me pleasure to be able to endorse that policy by issuing instructions that Mr. Griffin is to be in fact that which his contract makes him, the Director of Design and Construction.
*' I intend that the work of laying down the foundation of Australia's great city shall be gone about quietly but purposefully. I intend that not one penny shall be spent for which the Commonwealth does not receive full and lasting value. If there are difficulties which 1 have not power to remove, and which Parliament will not remedy, it would only be left to me to dissociate myself from results flowing from internal intrigue, conflict, and compromise."
Note. — (It was subsequently ascertained that the cost of the Railway was approximately £50,000, not £35,000 as mentioned in paragraph 3 of above statement.)
On the 9th May, 1916, Mr. Archibald asked the following question in the House (A Representatives : —
"Has Mr. Griffin, the designer of the accepted plan for the Federal Capital, had his appointment extended to three years ? "
The Minister replied : —
" Yes. I had a hard job to get Mr. Griffin to agree to the extension, because he has been so greatly persecuted."
On the 11th May, 1916, during a discussion on the appointment of Mr. Calder E. Oliver, M.C.E., M.Inst.C.E., Engineer-in-Chief, Melbourne and Metropolitan Board of Works, Mr. Archibald asked : —
" Will the Minister say why he is dissatisfied with Mr. Hill, the Sanitary Engineer now in the service of the Department of Home Affairs ? "
The Minister replied : —
" Things seem to me, as a business man, absolutely demoralized"
Later, Mr, O'Malley added : —
" Unfortunately, things are so demoralized, and became so demoralized when there was no Minister running the concern, that it is impossible to talk about plans or anything else until we can put matters on some business basis. I asked the Public Works Committee to have the avenues prepared, so that we could commence grading them, but the Committee found that they had no power to act, as the matter had not been submitted to them by Parliament. It has now to be submitted to the Committee through Parliament.
SPEECH IN PARLIAMENT BY THE LATE MINISTER (THE HONORABLE
W. 0. ARCHIBALD, M.P.)
On the 12th May, 1916, The Honorable W. 0. Archibald, late Minister for Home Affairs, in the course of a speech in the House of Kepresentatives, said that the expenditure in connexion with Mr. Griffin's office was a profligate waste of public money, and there was never any necessity for his engagement. The Federal Capital Design could have been carried out without importing an architect. The Govern- ment knew that an extension of Mr. Griffin's appointment was not necessary, and the House should have been given an opportunity of discussing the matter. The transaction showed the utter incompetence of the Minister. He did not think Australia was so poverty-stricken in architectural ability that, given the money, the Capital could not be gone on with.
Proceeding — Mr. Archibald said that Mr. Griffin took the view that he was to have everything his own way and that the Government were to be responsible. " To a man of my temperament his insinuations and innuendos concerning persons who differed from him became most offensive. He was always complaining to me that the officers were thwarting him, but so far as I know they were all absolutely loyal. Mr. Griffin is a difficult man to get on with. He is always pouring out innuendos against other men, insinuating that they are blocking him atid inteifering with him. I have never known other men to do the same towards him. He is a dangerous man to have connected with a public department, and especially under the administration of a man like the Minister "

PEECH IN REPLY BY THE HONORABLE W. WEBSTER (POSTMASTER- GENERAL).
On the ITth May.. 1916, in the House of Representatives, the Honorable W. Webster, Postmaster-General, made a reply to Mr. Archibald in defence af Mr. Griffin.
Mr. Griffin, he said, had not received fair treatment at the hands of the House or of previous Government or of officials in the Service. He had been the victim of an attempt to degrade him, not only in the eyes of his profession, but in the eyes of those who were responsible for his appointment. The officers of the Department were still permitted to pursue their conduct in regard to the departmental design for the Federal Capital, which had been abandoned on Mr. Griffin's appointment to carry out his own adopted design. Mr. Griffin was humiliated and degraded by men who were constantly striving to place him in a subordinate position, which he ought not to occupy.
Those responsible for bringing Mr. Griffin out did not secure him in the exercise of the fullest power provided by his agreement, to carry out his obligations to the Government and Parliament, and without which it was impossible for him to carry out his plans. Mr. Webster further stated that —
Every important step taken at the Capital site had been in antagonism and in opposition to the recommendations of Mr. Griffin.
He mentioned by way of illustration the action taken by the Department in connexion with Water Supply, Sewerage, Brickmaking, Power Supply, Railway Construction, and the Arsenal, and concluded by references to the loss of bridging over the Murrumbidgee, and certain expenditure on roads, rabbit destruction, fencing, and gatekeepers.
(Note. — The speech is fully reported in Hansard, pages 7958-7969.)
APPOINTMENT OF ROYAL COMMISSION.
On the 18th May, 1916, the Acting Prime Mnister (Senator the Honorable G. F. Pearce) made the following statement in the Senate : —
" In connexion with the speech delivered in the House of Representatives last night by the Postmaster-General, referring to matters of administration of the Department of Home Affairs, the Government proposes to arrange for the appointment of a Royal Commission. If possible, the Commission will consist of a Judge, and the Acting Prime Minister will arrange for that. The Commission will be asked to take as the basis of such inquiry the Hansard reports of the speech above referred to and the speeches delivered since the re-assembling of Parliament by the honorable member for Hindmarsh, dealing with administrative matters in the Home Affairs Department, and also statements and answers to questions dealing with the same matters made by the Minister of Home Affairs in the House of Representatives." A statement in similar terms was made in the House of Representatives by the Honorable F. Tudor, M.P., Leader of the Government in that House.
On the 14th June, 1916, a Royal Commission was issued to Mr. Wilfred Blacket, K.C.
The Royal Commissioner held a preliminary sitting on the 16th June, when he formulated the questions for inquiry, so that the parties might be able to prepare their evidence for definite ends and with regard to definite matters. These, so far as concerns the Federal Capital, are : — As to Mr. Griffin- Has the work so far done at the Federal Capital been carried out in accordance with Mr. Griffin's plan ? (2) If there have been departures from his plan, have these been either necessary or advantageous, or have they been detrimental ? (2a) Has money been wasted by Mr. Griffin
55 Federal Territory — continued,
at the Federal Capital ? (3) Has Mr. Griffin, in his official position, obtained the support and consideration to which ho was entitled, oi has he, m that position, boon subjected by the Department of Home Affairs, or any of its officers, to any unfair treatment or hostile action ? (3a) Did Mr. Griffin provoke official antagonism by exaggerating the importance of his office and the extent of his authority, or by any want of consideration for other officials ?
As to the Small Arms Factory —
(4) Did the departmental plans provide for a building suitable for such a factory, and wae the site chosen unsuited to the purpose of such a factory ? As to the Power-house —
(6) Has a mistake been made in the choice of a site for a power-house ? As to the Railway —
(6) Was the railway to the powei-house built in accordance with or contrary to the decision of the Minister ? (7) Was the construction of this railway, at a cost of £49,000, in lieu of a light railway or tramway, a justifiable expenditure of public money ? (8) Was the expenditure on a railway in excess' of the estimate; if so, is any officer culpable in respect of the estimate or in respect of the expenditure ? (9) Does the railway, as constructed, tend to destroy the symmetry and one of the main featuies of Mr. Griffin's plan ?
As to Sewerage —
(10) Was a gravitation system possible, and would it have been preferable to the system now in course of construction ? (11) Will the system adopted effectively and permanently provide for the disposal of sewerage ?
As to Water Supply —
(12) Was a gravitation system possible, and would it have been preferable to the system now in course of construction ? (13) Are the works now in course of construction needlessly costly by reason of the water being cairied under instead of over the Murrumbidgee ?
As to the Brickworks —
(14) Is the site chosen fcr these works the best that was available ?
As to Roads and Fencing —
(15) Has theie been wasteful expenditure or defective methods in respect of roads and fencing ; if so, who are the persons liable V
A FURTHER COMMISSION.
At the next sitting, on the 18th July, 1916, Mr. Blacket announced the receipt of a further Commission to inquire into and report upon the question of whether any public money has been wasted in the Federal Territory in connexion mth the construction of works or buildings, or in administration, by or on the advice of any officer of the Department of Home Affairs, whether directed by the responsible Minister or not.
The Inquiry is proceeding. For reasons of economy, and because it was a matter of facts and documentary evidence and not of law, Mr. Webster resolved to conduct his own case. The officers are likewise conducting their owti case. An expenditure of some 100 guineas a day is being avoided by dispensing with counsel representing the parties.
FEDERAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE ARCHITECTURAL COMPETITION.
In compliance with the instructions of Parliament to take active steps towards the establishment of the Seat of Government at Canberra, where annual maintenance charges already amount to between £75,000 and £100,0(X), as well as to honour an undertaking given to the world by the Honorable W. H. Kelly, M.P., Acting Minister for Home Affairs during the Cook Administration, the Government have resumed

56
the competition promulgated by that Administration for competitive designs for the Federal Parliament House, the most important single feature in the con- struction of the city, and by which the architectural appearance of the city will be largely determined. The even continuity of city construction thereby preserved will be a factor of some moment in connexion with the provision of avenues of employment.
The unexpired period of six months remaining at the date of withdrawal of the competition by the late Government, on the 25th September, 1914, is being allowed from the date of resumption, and designs are therefore receivable up to 31st January, 1917. Enemy subjects are ineligible to compete.
The designs will be adjudicated by a jury of architects as follows : — George T. Poole (of Australia), Sir John James Burnet (London and Glasgow), Victor Laloux (Paris), Louis H. Sullivan (Chicago), and it being necessary to appoint an adjudicator in place of Otto Wagner (Vienna), the nomination made by the Federal Capital Director of Design and Construction in accordance with the Conditions of Compe- tition will be shortly announced.

Note. — The total of £19,299 5s. 5d. represents the net rental received, whereas practically all the above leases impose conditions as to improvements which have to be effected by lessees, and are allowed in the rent. The cost of these improvements is estimated at £10,000.
AGISTMENT.
Seven thousand two hundred and seventy-nine head of sheep and 174 head of large stock are on agistment on land that, for various reasons, cannot at present be leased, i.e., the carrying out of works, areas for departmental use, areas about to be set apart for specific purposes.
VALUATIONS.
The valuation of lands within the Territory is being steadily proceeded with.
All areas valued are classified into three classes of agricultural and three classes of grazing land, and all improvements are located.
Area covered by classification and valuation, 231,342 acres.
SURVEYS.
City. — The survey of the Main Axial Lines being well advanced, the marking on the ground of the lay-out of Commonwealth and Adelaide-avenues is being pushed on with.
The constructional railway line has been measured and marked within the city area.
ARSENAL.
Contour surveys of alternate sites for township are being pushed on with and are now well advanced.

RABBIT DESTRUCTION.
The work of rabbit destruction by poisoning has been suspended during the past two months, owing to unfavorable weather conditions and to the fact that rabbits were well in check ; operations in this direction are now being renewed, and will be carried on through the summer months.
Operations commenced on the 18th July on the Royal MiUtary College area north of the Yass-road, where an area of about 2,500 acres is to be cleared of the pest.
Maintaining areas free of rabbits has been satisfactory.
The work to be carried out by lessees is proceeding satisfactorily, though in some instances, conditions are not quite up to the prescribed time. However, in these instances, the best efforts are being made to fully comply with all conditions. To illustrate the enhanced value of the land when cleared of the pest, about 3,000 acres before treatment, was, from a pastoral point of view, next to useless, for only in a very good season would it carry stock at all, and then at the rate of about one sheep to three acres only. This same country, though the work was only completed in December, 1915, will now carry annually, nearly one sheep to the acre. By comparison with some country adjoining not yet cleared of the pest, a very striking object lesson is obtained of the benefit derived from systematic digging out, fencing, &c.

HARVEST.
The present winter is,- according to old residents, the best for 20 years, both from an agricultural and pastoral point of view, and prospects for a good spring are excellent. There is a good growth of grass and herbage for the time of the year, and the demand for agistment country has been good.

HEALTH SECTION.
A motor car has now been provided for the use of the Medical Service. It is used by both Sections of the Branch, and is found to be of as much service to the Health Section for inspection and other purposes as for the Medical Section. It is also available for the transport of patients from distant camps to the Hospital in suitable cases. The officers of the Branch drive it themselves so that no special chauffeurs are necessary.
With this independent means of transport available, it has been possible to establish regular clinics at the various Camps, which are now visited weekly by the Medical Officer, to the advantage of all concerned.
A few cases of infectious disease continue to make their appearance, but prompt isolation has always been successful in preventing the spread of the disease. On the whole, the health of the residents of the Camps and the Territory has been good.
Regularly quarterly lectures on First-aid Treatment are being established in all the Camps. It is found to be difficult to keep up formal classes in this work, on account of the migratory population. It is hoped that this method of dis- seminating this important knowledge among the workmen may reach a larger class than the other method (ambulance classes) seems to do.
The hospital has been running with a reduced staff, though efficiency has not been interfered with.
Arrangements have now been made whereby patients from the Royal Military College will be treated at the Canberra Hospital.

Weather Notes.
As will be seen from the above record, the rainfall for the past two months was abundant. In consequence, a splendid start is assured to all crops, and the spring prospects are excellent. The only cause for complaint in this direction has been the constant interruption to outdoor activities. Such operations as psrmanent planting, transplanting of nursery stock, propagating, &c., were, owing to this, at the end of June somewhat behind, but with the ample store of moisture in the soil, and the most favorable weather conditions for this work experienced in July, these operations have been brought up to date, and highly satisfactory progress is anticipated.

The germination percentages disclosed a somewhat startlingly low rate, for which an explanation was at once sought.
As these various samples were all hand graded, high quality specimens of the different kinds, it was confidently anticipated that the germination figures would have been in the vicinity of 97-98 per cent. The actual results in some cases, however, fell as low as 72 per cent. (Comeback wheat), and even in the best germinative instance, only 98 per cent. (Ruakura oats) was reached.
Federal Territory — continued. 64
The ground was in perfect condition to receive the seed, which was hand- planted so as to minimize as far as possible any loss. Germination, owing to these favorable conditions, took place without any delay.
Taking these circumstances into consideration, only one cause can be assigned for the low result, and that is the 2 per cent, bluestone pickle used as a preventative for smut. This strength is a standard solution for the purpose, and was in these instances used with scrupulous care, and followed with the usual lime-water bath to minimize the action of the copper.
The view that the bluestone acted in a decided weakening of the germinative vitality of the seed, is strengthened by the result recorded on the two varieties of Skinless barley. Here the actual seed, unprotected by any outer skin or shell covering, was, similarly to the wheats, brought into direct contact with the solution. The germination, as will be noted, is very similar in both cases to the wheats, whereas the varieties of barley carrying skin or shell coverings show a much higher percentage, as do also the oats, which are similarly protected. In these latter cases — oats and skin-protected barleys — the percentage is satisfactory.
The net result of this experience points to only one conclusion, which is, that a 2 per cent, bluestone solution used as a pickle is open to grave question, and might, if practised under less favorable conditions, lead to disastrous results.
It should be clearly understood, however, that upon an examination of the blank spaces, it was found that in nearly all cases germination had taken place, but the vitality of the seed in these instances had been so impaired that sufficient vigour had not been retained to enable the plumule to pierce the covering soil.
The feeble action had only resulted in a twisted growth in the vicinity of the seed.
Future seed dressings will not exceed a IJ per cent, solution, and it is advised that a higher strength than this should not be used. Number of men employed, AfEorestation Branch, 14.
INITIAL ENGINEERING WORKS.
Water Supply.— The dam in the Cotter River has been raised to the 1,614 feet level upstream, and 1,617 feet downstream. Clearing is practically completed within the reservoir area. The work on the dam was stopped on 2nd August, 1916. At the Pumping Station the Contractors have fixed the main pumps and connexions, the electrical gear is being attached, and the building and floor are finished. At Red Hill Service Reservoir, the outer wall and floors of two chambers are finished and floor of third chamber nearly so. The main pipe line has been trimmed up throughout.
Power Plant has been supplying current to Royal Military College, Duntroon, A.I.F. Quarters, Administrative Offices and dwellings, Acton Hospital, Sewerage Works, Workshops, Brickshops, Red Hill Reservoir, and Yarralumla.
Main Outfall Sewer.— The tunnel extends to 6,850 feet, of which 2,184 feet has been lined with concrete, and 1,011 feet of concrete invert laid. This work was suspended on 21st July, and the men transferred to other jobs.
Roads. — ^A " cut-off" road, to materially shorten the distance between north and south-west, has been commenced, forming part of what will eventually be a circuit around the Capitol, and extending along main arteries denominated Adelaide and Commonwealth avenues, a total distance of 1 mile 46 chains. The culverts Nos. 1 to 6 on this new road are complete, No. 7 in progress. The earthwork is half done. On the Cotter-road, fencing has been completed from Bulga Creek to Uriarra-road, and the Tharwa and Tuggeranong bridges tarred and painted. The

YASS-CANBERRA-JERVIS BAY RAILWAY.
Trial surveys of a total length of about 155 miles have been carried out between Jervis Bay, Canberra, and the boundary of the Federal Territory (in the direction of Yass), and the New South Wales Government have completed a survey of the continuation of the route to Yass, a distance of 32 miles.
The Engineer-in-Chief for Commonwealth Railways estimates the cost of a railway from Canberra to Jervis Bay (140 miles) approximately £1,750,000.
As there is no comprehensive report covering the engineering, economic, and traffic points of view of the proposed railway, Mr. A. Combes, Consulting and Locating Engineer, has been instructed to investigate and prepare a report, and is now engaged on the work. Upon receipt of his report the matter will be referred to the Commonwealth Public Works Committee.
On the 24th June, 1915, the Canberra City railway was referred to the Common- wealth Public Works Committee for investigation and report. The Committee has not yet submitted a recommendation, and until the route to be followed through the City area is determined, nothing can be done in the way of extending the existing Queanbeyan- Canberra Railway towards Yass.
QUEANBEYAN— CANBERRA RAILWAY.
This railway, a length of 4 miles 75| chains, was opened for goods traffic on 25th May, 1914. It is being worked by the New South Wales Chief Commissioner for Railways.

KALGOORLIE-PORT AUGUSTA RAILWAY. WESTERN AUSTRALIAN DIVISION.
Survey. — The survey is complete and the route has been permanently located to 450 miles. A preliminary inspection has also been made between that point and the South Australian border. The permanent survey is proceeding in advance of the platelaying, and will be continued through to Ooldea, to which point the survey is completed from Port Augusta.
Earthworks are ready for platelaying to 477 miles 45 chains.
Platelaying. — The rails from the Western Division crossed the border of Western Australia and South Australia on the 28th August. At the close of that day the railhead stood at 454 miles 70 chains. On the 29th September the railhead stood at 478 miles 75 chains.
Owing to shortage of rails, platelaying was suspended in December, 1915, and was not resumed until 3rd July, 1916. If rails had been delivered to contract time, the railhead would, probably, have been beyond the 600-mile.

These stores are supplying the needs of about 1,500 persons. Until recently sales were not effected within two miles of Port Augusta, but arrangements have now been made to effect sales to Commonwealth railway employees under certain conditions, the store at Port Augusta being the bulk one, and also the place from where orders for the various fettUng and other small gangs along the Hue are made up. The prices are the same at all stores, and a price hst showing the rates prevailing on the last day of the month is issued, and is greatly appreciated by the men.
Bread Supply. — On the 9th April the Department took over the baking and delivery of bread at and beyond Tarcoola, owing to the previous supplier not giving satisfaction. The Department has just completed the erection at Tarcoola of a proper brick oven, and the men will be supplied with the best of bread. Arrangements have been entered into for a Port Augusta baker to supply bread and small goods to the Departmental vans there, and the Department commenced on 8th May, 1916, to deUver from Port Augusta to Tarcoola. The price charged for bread is the same as that fixed by the Prices Kegulation Commission to operate beyond a radius of 6 miles from the General Post Office, Adelaide.
Departmental Ranch. — Departmental ranches (i.e., boarding-houses) have been established at the railhead, Ooldea, and at other points in the Eastern Division.

PINE CREEK TO KATHERINE RIVER RAILWAY.
This line is a continuation of the existing Darwin-Pine Creek railway, and will extend a distance of 54 miles 40 chains, terminating 200 miles 56 chains from Darwin. The line is being constructed with 60-lb. material to a 3 ft. 6 in. gauge, as provided in Section 5 of the Pine Creek to Katherine River Railway Act 1913, provision being made in the construction of the permanent way and works for subsequent alteration to a gauge of not less than 4 ft. 8} in. All rails and fishplates and the major portion of the fastenings required for this extension have been forwarded to Darwin. Sleepers have been forwarded to the number of 27,000 steel and 50,240 powellised karri. The delivery of balance of sleepers has been delayed owing to difficulty in obtaining Shipping Space.
Clearing has been completed to the Katherine River.
Earthworks are completed to 183 miles 40 chains, and in hand to 194 miles.
A temporary road for wagons has been made to 194 miles.
The Head of the Road is now at 179 miles 45 chains.
The Waterways are complete to 180 miles.
With the exception of the bridge over the Fergusson River (166 miles 19 chains), bridges (15 in number) have been completed to 182 miles 79 chains. Temporary low-level deviation has been laid over the Fergusson River pending the completion of the permanent bridge.
Number of men employed, 194.
KATHERINE (200 miles 40 chains) TO MATARANKA SPRINGS (265 miles).
The permanent survey is now completed to Mataranka Springs. This section traverses easier country than the Pine Creek to Katherine extension, and earth- works will be lighter.

(367 miles).
This survey extends southwards of Mataranaka to Daly Waters, a distance of, approximately, 95 miles, and forms part of the survey on the main North-south line. The work was approved on the 14th April, 1915. It was commenced on the 9th May, 1915, and finished on the 29th June, 1916. Twelve miles of the section has been permanently surveyed and pegged ; the remaining section being covered by trial survey only. The full reports are not yet to hand, but, generally speaking, the earthworks are not heavy, neither will there be any extensive waterways.
KINGOONYA TO OODNADATTA TRIAL SURVEY.
This survey was completed in the second week in July. The route adopted is practically that disclosed as most suitable after careful inspection of alternative routes. The survey commenced at 210 miles from Port Augusta on the Port Augusta-Kalgoorlie railway and terminated on the Oodnadatta railway at 613 miles 11 chains from Adelaide, or approximately 75 miles from Oodnadatta.
The length of line surveyed is 176 miles 35 chains.
DARWIN TO PINE CREEK RAILWAY.
This railway, 14:5J miles in length, was handed over to the control of the Com- monwealth Railways as from the first of July, 1915.
CONFERENCES AT PORT AUGUSTA AND KALGOORLIE.
With a view to allaying discontent and arriving at final agreements with the organizations concerned, directions were issued that an Officer representing the Department meet the representatives of the various Unions, at both Port Augusta and Kalgoorlie.
Conferences were accordingly held at Port Augusta on the 20th and 22nd March, 1916, and at Kalgoorlie on the 13th and 14th May, 1916. The rates of wages and conditions of employment were fully gone into, and a settlement has practically been arrived at. The results of such conferences are being incorporated in agreements covering a two-year period as from the 1st July, 1916. It is proposed to ^ssue these agreements under the forms of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. ■

INVESTIGATION INTO PROPOSAL TO ERECT WORKSHOPS AT PORT AUGUSTA OR QUORN.
Following upon remarks regarding the unsatisfactory methods adopted in the carrying out of the work of the construction of the Transcontinental Railway made by the Honorable Richard Foster, M.P., one of the Public Trustees of the Common- wealth, in the House of Representatives, on the 17th May, 1916, the following question was asked by that gentleman : —
Mr. RICHARD FOSTER.— Will the JVIinister for Home Affairs have an independent investi- gation made as to the necessity for workshops in connexion with the East-West Railway before the country is committed to an expenditure of a quarter of a miUion of money ?
Mr. KING O'MALLEY.' — I shall discuss the matter with the honorable member, and lay it before the Cabinet.
On the 31st May, 1916, Cabinet decided that an endeavour be made to secure the services of the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Western Australian Government for the purpose of making the investigation referred to, in conjunction with the Honorable F. W. Bamford, M.P.
103 Commonwealth Railways —
continued.
Negotiations were accordingly entered into with the Premier of Western Australia, who advised, on the 20th June, 1916, that the loan to the Commonwealth of the Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Western Australian Railways was agreed to.
However, on the 5th July, 1916, in response to a telegram from the Prime Mnister, asking on what date the Chief Mechanical Engineer would leave for Port Augusta, the Premier of Western Australia wired, stating that the Chief Mechanical Engineer desired that he should report on the proposal referred to in conjunction with the Commonwealth Chief Mechanical Engineer, in addition to Mr. Bamford, M.P.
As such would not have been an independent investigation, the Premier was advised, on the 10th July, 1916, that other arrangements were being made.
An endeavour was then made to secure the services of the Chief Mechanical Engineer attached to the Tasmanian Railway Department, and, at an interview with the Premier of Tasmania, the Honorable W. H. Lee, M.H.A., and the Minister for Railways, the Honorable W. D. Propsting, M.L.C., in Melbourne, it vv^as agreed by them to loan to this Department the services of Mr. Deeble, their Chief Mechanical Engineer, for the purpose of making this investigation.
Mr. Deeble accordingly arrived in Melbourne on 12th July, 1916, when the whole matter was explained to him. He expressed himself as satisfied ; berths were secured, and all arangements made for his departure for Port Augusta on the 13th July, 1916.
On the 13th July, 1916, the following letter was received from Mr. Deeble : —
" Referring to our conversation yesterday on above subject, and after perusal of the various documents, I find the work is so different to what I anticipated, and the issues so involved, that I beg to inform you that I deeply regret that I cannot incur the responsibility of advising you on the matter."
Application was then made to the Chairman of the Victorian Railways Com- missioners, Mr. C. E. Norman, with a view to securing the services of a mechanical engineer from that Department. As a result, the services of Mr. A. E. Smith, Assistant Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Victorian Railways Department, were secured.
The Honorable F. W. Bamford, M.P., in the meantime, wrote regretting his inability to undertake the investigation, on account of his long absence at Broome, in connexion with the pearl fishing industry, and Mr. A. Combes, Consulting and Locating Engineer of this Department, was appointed in place of Mr. Bamford, to act with the Mechanical Engineer.
Messrs. Smith and Combes visited Port Augusta at the end of July, and sub- mitted their report on the 26th August, 1916. This report was tabled in the House of Representatives on the 6th September, 1916.
104
STRATEGIC EAILWAYS.
During the early part of last year the question of the construction of strategic railways received consideration by the Commonwealth Government, and in March, 1916, Mr. A. Combes was appointed to inspect and report on routes from Quom to Broken Hill, and from Deniliquin to Brisbane {vide Parliamentary Paper No. ).
After inspecting a number of routes, totalling nearly 3,000 miles, of proposed or existing railways, Mr. Combes recommended the conversion of the existing railway from Port Augusta to Terowie, and the construction of a new railway from Terowie to Hay, with a connecting line to Morgan.
As an alternative line to the existing railway between Melbourne and Brisbane, the construction of a railway was recommended from Deniliquin through Hay, Nyngan, and Moree to near Goondiwindi, thence conversion of the existing line to Maryvale, and a new railway through Cunningham's Gap to Brisbane {vide Parliamentary Paper No. 291).
In October, 1915, a conference of military advisers to the Commonwealth and Inter-State Railway Commissioners, held at Sydney, approved of the Hay to Port Augusta (520 miles) and Moree to Brisbane (273 miles) proposals.
The Conference also recommended the construction of a number of other and less important connecting railways.
At the Premiers' Conference, held in Adelaide on the 22nd May, 1916, the question of constructing strategic railways was dealt with, and the following resolution was adopted : —
{a) That any strategic railways proposed to be submitted in each State to the Railways Standing Committee, or the Public Works Committee, or such similar authority as any State or States may appoint for the purpose, together with such representatives as the Federal Government may appoint.
{b) That such Committees or authorities, in formulating their recommendations, be requested to give consideration to the developmental possibilities of the proposed lines, and to make such recommendations as will meet the strategic and developmental needs of the States interested.
(c) That where the interests of two or more States are concerned, combined meetings of the Committees or authorities appointed should be held for the purpose of making a joint recommendation.
APPOINTMENT OF MR. A. COMBES.
On 15th June, 1916, Mr. A. Combes was appointed by Cabinet as Consulting and Locating Engineer to investigate and report on such engineering questions, as might be referred to him by the Minister for Home Affairs. Mr. Combes had previously been employed by the Commonwealth in 1915 to report on the proposed strategic railways, and in 1913-1914 as a member of the Northern Territory Royal Commission on Railways and Ports.

Among the many acknowledgments received by the Weather Bureau, showing the practical utility of its work to the community, may be mentioned a recent appreciative letter received from the Under- Treasurer, Victoria, stating that a tentative Seasonal Forecast, published in the Herald, and particulars subsequently supplied by this office were most valuable to the Premier in preparing his Budget Statement.
NEW STATIONS ESTABLISHED.
Sixty-six new Kain Stations (11 each in Western Australia and South Aus- tralia, 21 in Queensland, 18 in New South Wales, 1 in Victoria, and 4 in Tasmania) have been started, and 8 discontinued. Three Climatological Stations have been reopened in New South Wales, and a new station started in Victoria ; one Clima- tological Station in New South Wales has been closed.

The Australian Monthly Weather Report. — The Summary for the year 1912, and the monthly numbers for January and February, 1913, have been printed. March revise and April proof sheets have been corrected, and the manuscript to September completed.
Results of Rainfall Observations. — South Australian Volume — Considerable progress has laeen made with the compilation of this volume. Maps and diagrams, showing the monthly and yearly mean rainfall over the State are in course of pre- paration, also Tables presenting the rainfall over each Summer and Winter season over the agricultural districts since 1857, and notes on the annual and monthly rain distribution of past years. The collection of noteworthy meteorological events has been started. The 1915 figures have been added to the rain tables, and portions of these are being printed.
The Rainfall Chart for 1915 for the Commonwealth, and Bulletins No. 11 (" The Climatic Control of Australian Production"), by Dr. Griffith Taylor, No. 12 ("A Graphic Method of showing the Daily Weather and especially Cloud Types "), by Mr. E. T. Quayle, and No. 13 (" Initial Investigations in the Upper Air of Aus- tralia "), by Dr. Taylor, have been distributed.
A new Base Rain Map of South Australia, showing the physiographical features, has been printed.
A book, dealing in a popular way with the scientific results of the Scott Antarctic Expedition, has recently been published by Smith Elder in London. This book is from the pen of Dr. Griffith Taylor, a member of the Weather Bureau Staff.
GENERAL REMARKS.
A number of special reports and statistical returns have, as usual, been supplied to Government Departments, the press, and others, through the Central Office and each of the Divisional Offices.
The fourth course of lectures on Meteorology, by Dr. Griffith Taylor, has been completed at the Central Flying School.
107 Meteorological — continued.
Coloured contour and rainfall models of Australia have been prepared and forwarded to the Smithsonian Institute and the Royal Geographical Society, London.
The Commonwealth Meteorologist paid an official visit to Sydney and Brisbane in April.
Under the superintendence of an officer of the Central Staff, self-recording anemometers and anemographs are being installed at six stations on the Queensland coast, and also at Darwin.
The kiosk, at Sydney, which attracted great attention at the Royal Agricul- tural Show, has now been erected in Martin-place, opposite the General Post Office, and much interest is taken by the public in the instruments and the daily reports.
With a view to completing, if possible, the breaks appearing in early years in the meteorological records of some of the Australian capitals, application is being made to various Historical Societies, Libraries, and persons likely to be in a position to supply the information desired.
The degree of Doctor of Science and a Special Prize Medal have been conferred on Mr. Griffith Taylor, B.Sc, B.E., B.A., F.G.S., F.R.G.S., by the University of Sydney for a thesis on the Physiography of Antarctica.
NOTES ON THE SEASON.
The prospects of th^ season are good, and the general outlook throughout the Commonwealth at the present time is very satisfactory.
During the close of last Summer the rains had been patchy, and the monsoon wet season on the whole a light one, and in the autumn months — April and May — (except for good falls in April over Tasmania and the eastern parts of New South Wales and Victoria) the rains failed considerably, with the result that at the close of May, the position was critical over a large part of the mainland.
Fortunately, the weather control then changed, and vigorous widespread winter Antarctic disturbances set in, under the influence of which the conditions have since been most favorable. The June and July totals were in each case above the normal over the greater part of the mainland south from the Tropic (especially over the agricultural area), and in both months the falls were the heaviest on record at very many places in the settled districts of South Australia and over the Highlands and slopes of New South Wales. Rains were also well above the normal in the Central and Coast areas of Queensland north of the tropic during July. This month (August) further substantial falls have so far (15th) been recorded, and the present outlook through all the wheat belt is very promising.

ELECTORAL ADMINISTRATION.
Senator the Hon. E. J. RUSSELL (Victoeia), Minister in Charge. R. C. OLDHAM, Chief Electoral Officer
ELECTORAL ENROLMENT.
The Administration aims at securing —
(a) full rolls, i.e., rolls which shall contain the names of all persons qualified
under the Franchise and Electoral Acts to be enrolled and to vote for the electorates in which they have their places of abode ;
(b) clean rolls.
In order to secure the highest degree of efficiency and economy, both in regard to enrolment and the adjustment of rolls, negotiations have been proceeding for a considerable period with the several States with a view to the adoption of a comprehensive system of electoral co-operation on a basis of subdivisional enrol- ment and adjustment of rolls, which will enable the combined resources of the Commonwealth and States to be utilized to the fullest advantage in the preparation and maintenance, under continuous supervision, of (joint) electoral rolls and which, with comparatively few distinguishing marks, will serve the purposes of the Commonwealth and the States, avoid duplication of administrative effort, con- fusion and misunderstanding on the part of the electors, secure added efficiency and promote economy.
It is anticipated that such legislative differences as exist can be overcome without difficulty and in such a manner as to leave the Commonwealth and each State free to fix and adjust, from time to time, the boundaries of its own electo- rates as it thinks fit.
This advanced movement has been strongly supported, as indicated hereunder, by a conference of representative Commonwealth and State officials and it now only remains for the several legislatures concerned to agree to amendments of the existing laws — mainly, if not entirely, administrative — in order to provide the basis of a joint electoral enrolment system which can be maintained under the administrative method now followed in Tasmania with highly satisfactory results to all concerned.
PROPOSED CO-OPERATION WITH STATES IN ELECTORAL MATTERS.
At the Inter-State Conference of State Ministers (Premiers' Conference), held in Sydney in Maj^ 1915, it was resolved : —
" That steps be taken to secure electoral roll uniformity between Common- wealth and State."
In pursuance of the foregoing resolution, a conference of representatives of the State Electoral Administrations was convened by the Premier of the State of New South Wales, which the Chief Electoral Officer for the Commonwealth was invited to attend.
The Conference was held at Sydney on the 5th to 10th, and 12th to 15th July, 1915, inclusive, for the purpose of evolving a workable system of co-operation as between the Commonwealth and the various States in respect of all matters inci- dental to the enrolment of electors for the Commonwealth Parliament and the State Houses of Assembly, and the preparation, printing, and maintenance of rolls of such electors.
Electoral — oontinued. 110
The following representatives constituted the Conference, viz. : —
Commonwealth of Australia . . Mr. R. C. Oldham, Chief Electoral Officer
for the Commonwealth. Mr. J. G. McLaren, Commonwealth Electoral Officer for the State of New South Wales.
New South Wales . . . . Mr. G. H. S. King, Under Secretary, Chief
Secretary's Department, and Chief Elec- toral Officer (Chairman). Mr. S. J. Pinnington, Principal Electoral Registrar.
Victoria . . . . . . Mr. J. Molloy, Chief Electoral Officer.
Queensland . . . . Mr. R. J. Cole, Principal Electoral Registrar.
South Australia . . . . Mr. C. L. Mathews, Returning Officer for the
State.
Western Australia . . . . Mr. E. G. Stenberg, Chief Electoral Officer.
The Conference, after careful consideration of the details of the electoral systems now in operation in the Commonwealth and the several States, imanimously passed the following resolutions : —
The resolutions, which have been arranged under the following head.'j, viz. : —
1. Basis of Co-operation.
2. Harmonizmg Franchise Conditions.
3. Residence Qualifications.
4. Nature of Terms to be used when referring to Residence Qualifications,
5. Form and Design of Roll.
6. Enrolment and Adjustment of Rolls.
7. Determination of Objections to Enrolment.
8. Action necessary to establish Co-operation.
9. Extent of Administration by Regulation.
10. Appointment and Remuneration of Registrars.
11. Assimilation of powers of Chief Electoral Officers.
12. Position of State Chief Electoral Officers.
13. Transfer of Officers.
14. Allocation of Expenditure, are as follow : —
1. Basis op Co-operation.
1. That co-operation by the Commonwealth and the several States in the matter of the preparation, printing, and maintenance of joint electoral rolls, which shall serve the purposes of the Commonwealth and each State House of Assembly, is practicable and eminently desirable in the furtherance of public convenience, electoral efficiency, and economy.
2. That the safest and most suitable system of co-operation may be arranged on the basis of the adoption of Uniform Registration Units in the form of Sub- divisions so designed as to form sections of the State Electoral Districts, and not to overlap the boundaries of the Commonwealth Electoral Divisions, provided —
(a) That all operations in regard to enrolment, including a uniform qualifying period of residence of one month for subdivisional enrolment, and all adjustments of the rolls shall be based upon the registration units mutually agreed upon ; and (6) That in any scheme of re -distribution (Commonwealth or State) regard should be had to the then existing subdivisional boundaries to the fullest extent practicable.
Ill Electoral — continued.
2. Harmonizing Franchise Conditions.
That Mie Governments of the Commonwealth and of each of the States be invited to consider the desirableness of securing the maximum degree of harmoniza- tion consistent with public policy in regard to the popular franchise conditions prevailing throughout the Commonwealth.
Note. — It is obviously desirable to limit, to the fullest practicable extent, the necessity for the use in the joint roll of distinguishing marks indicating the restric- tion of an elector's right to enrolment to the Commonwealth only, or to the State only, as the case may be, and the removal, so far as is consistent with public policy, of the variations at present existing in the franchise conditions would consequently contribute to the smoother working of a co-operative system.
3. Residence Qualifications. That it be represented to each State Government that it is desirable in the interests of co-operation and simplicity that the residence condition attached to qualifications for the State franchise might ba as follows : —
Six months' continuous residence in the Commonwealth ;
Three months' residence in the State immediately preceding enrolment ;
One month's residence in the Subdivision immediately preceding claim for
enrolment ; or One month's residence in the Electoral District, if not subdivided, immediately preceding claim for enrolment. Note. — The Commonwealth law provides for six months' residence in Australia, and one month's residence in the Subdivision, immediately preceding claim for enrolment.
4. Nature of Terms to be used when Referring to Residence Qualification. That in order to avoid possible technical and administrative complications under a system of co-operation, it is suggested that an agreement might be reached as between the Commonwealth and the States as to the uniform adoption in the several electoral statutes of the terms " live " and " place of living," or the terms *' reside " and " place of residence," as applied to the franchise and to the conditions of enrolment.
Note. — The Commonwealth Electoral Act, and the Acts of Western Australia and Tasmania, contain the words " live " and " place of living," whilst the Acts of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Queensland, contain the words *' reside ." and " place of residence."
5. Form and Design of Roll. That the several joint rolls should —
(a) As regards form and design accord with the rolls used by the Common-
wealth, Victoria, Western Australia, and Tasmania ;
(b) Be published with maps and descriptions of Subdivision boundaries
attached ;
(c) Contain on each title page a statement of the postal address of the
Registrar ;
(d) Provide for the symbols " M " and " F " to indicate the sexes of the
electors enrolled ;
(e) Provide for the insertion of the word " Single " or " Married " or ** Widow "
in the case of such female elector who follows no definable occupation. (/) Contain distinguishing marks, with explanatory footnotes, to indicate
electors who are enrolled for the Commonwealth only or for the
State only ; and (g) Be printed as far as practicable within the States concerned, and by the
Government Printers for those States.
Bleotoral — continued, 112
6. Enrolment and Adjustment op Rolls.
That for the purpose of maintaining the joint rolls in a state of constant pre- paredness and up-to-dateness, the official resources of the Commonwealth and each State, adaptable to this end, should, by special arrangement, be persistently, methodically, and continuously utilized, and if necessary, supplemented by the appointment of special Electoral Inspectors. .
Note. — The course suggested is essential —
(a) Owing to the migratory nature of the population ;
(6) Owing to the fact that Commonwealth elections or State elections or
Referenda may be expected to occur at frequent intervals ; and (c) In order to secure the due observance of the law under a system of
compulsory enrolment.
7. Dbtermination of Objections to Enrolment.
That in the purification of rolls objections be continuously determined by each Divisional Returning Officer within the scope of his electoral jurisdiction, subject to an appeal by any aggrieved person to a court of summary jurisdiction.
Note. — Experience has demonstrated that the holding of revision courts at fixed intervals for determining objections to the retention of names on the roUs serves no good purpose, being not only a cumbersome and costly procedure, but also a cause of undue delay in the printing and issuing of rolls.
8. Action Necessary to Establish Co-operation.
In order to give efEect to co-operation in regard to electoral enrolment, it is essential —
(1) That, subject to the decision of the Commonwealth and State Govern-
ments on questions of policy, amending legislation be passed and brought into operation on a date to be proclaimed, dealing with the points considered by the Conference, and other essential matters incidental to the satisfactory working of a co-operative system, including enabling provisions similar to those contained in Section 30 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act.
(2) That a formal agreement between the Commonwealth and each State
be made on the lines of that adopted by the Commonwealth and the State of Tasmania.
(3) That combined Regulations be made by the Commonwealth and each
State dealing with common procedure and forms incidental thereto.
(4) That the necessary statutory officers to give efEect to the Joint Agreement
be appointed.
(5) That the Commonwealth and State electorates be subdivided by mutual
agreement for enrolment purposes.
(6) That instructions be agreed to and signed by the Commonwealth Chief
Electoral Officer and the State Chief Electoral Officer for the guidance of statutory officers acting on behalf of both Governments under the Acts and Regulations.
113 Electoral — continued.
(7) That a combined proclamation on the lines adopted by the Commonwealth
and the State of Tasmania be issued by the Governor-Greneral of the Commonwealth and the Governor of each State requiring the Common- wealth Electoral Officer and the State Chief Electoral Officer to prepare and issue an electoral roll containing such distinguishing marks as may be necessary for the purpose of indicating electors who are enrolled thereon respectively for the Commonwealth only and the State only.
(8) That all persons entitled to have their names included in the joint roll,
and who have not already signed claims for enrolment on the Common- wealth roll, should be required to complete and sign claims for enrol- ment, and that thereafter no additions to such roll should be made except in pursuance of duly completed claims ; and
(9) That a single card should be adopted to serve the purposes of —
(a) Commonwealth and State enrolment ; (6) Commonwealth enrolment only ; (c) State enrolment only ; as the case may require. ,
9. Extent of Administration by Regulation. That in the amending legislation for the purpose of giving efEect to a system of co-operation, provision should be made to enable matters of administration, not involving question of policy, to be, as far as practicable, prescribed by regulation.
Note. — It frequently occurs that where matters of a purely administrative character are detailed in the Act, the Electoral Administration becomes unable for prolonged periods to adapt itself to changing conditions which, although of relatively minor importance, cannot be met by regulation, and consequently cause public irritation and official embarrassment pending legislation.
10. Appointment and Remuneration of Registrars.
1. That in any system of co-operation it is expedient that the appointment of Registrars should be uniformly subject to the recommendation of the Chief Com- monwealth and State Electoral Officers ; that all appointments should be made by the Commonwealth and State Ministers concerned ; and further, that the Divisional Returning Officers should act as Electoral Registrars for Subdivisions or Electoral Districts for which no Registrars have been appointed.
2. That for the purpose of the appointment of joint Electoral Registrars under the provisions of the Commonwealth and State Electoral Acts, selections should be made impartially from the permanent services of the Commonwealth and the States, where suitable officers are available.
3. That Registrars who are not wholly employed as permanent officers of the Electoral Administration, or are not otherwise remunerated for the work of registra- tion, should be paid for their services in accordance with a schedule approved by the Commonwealth and the State Government concerned, but so that the rate of such remuneration shall, as far as practicable, be uniform throughout the Commonwealth.
4. That in the appointment and remuneration of Registrars, due regard shall be had to conditions existing on the initiation of co-operation, in so far as they affect individual Registrars employed in any State.
11. Assimilation of Powers of Chief Electoral Officers. That one of the desirable elements in the maintenance of a successful system of co-operation between the Commonwealth and the States is, the endowment of
Electoral — continued, 114
the Chief Electoral Officers for the States with powers in relation to the administrative- provisions of the State Statutes similar to these exercised by the Chief Electoraf Officer for the Commonwealth in respect of the Commonwealth Statute.
12. Position op State Chief Electoral Officers. That it is desirable, in order to insure that the system outlined by the Conference shall be truly co-operative, that there should be, in each State, a State Chief Electoral Officer, who may, or may not, as the Government decides, combine other duties with his electoral functions, and who shall be in a position —
(a) To confer as occasion arises with the Commonwealth Chief Electoral
Officer in matters of procedure ; (h) To keep in personal touch with the Commonwealth Electoral Officer
for the State ; and (c) To act as expert adviser to his Government for the purposes of the conduct of State Elections and other matters arising under the provisions of the State Electoral Act.
13. Transfer of Officers. That upon the introduction of a system of co-operation it should be arranged by the Commonwealth and each State that such Officers of the permanent Public Service as are at that time exclusively engaged on electoral work shall, without- loss of status or diminution of salary, either be suitably provided for in the State- Service or be employed by the Commonwealth.
14. Allocation of Expenditure.
That in order to secure a satisfactory system in regard to expenditure under
co-operation, and to avoid unnecessary bookkeeping and the complications
inseparable from the keeping of detailed accounts, the following course be
recommended for the consideration of the Commonwealth and State Governments :—
(1) That the Commonwealth should meet the cost of maintaining the Central-
Commonwealth Electoral Offices and the Offices of the Divisional Returning Officers in the several States, except in relation to expendi- ture under the following heads, which should be shared equally by the Commonwealth and the States, viz. : —
(a) Temporary clerical assistance necessarily employed in the joint interest in connexion with the preparation andl maintenance of the joint rolls ; (6) The printing and binding of principal rolls and the paper therefor ;
(c) The printing of books, forms, &c., used for joint electora*
purposes and the material therefor ;
(d) Expenditure actually incurred in any cases in which it is
necessary to make specific payments, under an approved schedule, to Electoral Registrars appointed for the purposes of joint registration.
(2) That the State should make available the services of the police in the
joint interest for the purposes of electoral inquiries and canvasses, subject only to such special allowances to individual police officers in the form of extra remuneration as may be agreed upon, which extra remuneration should be a joint charge.
(3) That the cost of preparing, printing, and binding supplemental rolls
and lists of names removed from the rolls issued for the purposes of a General Election or a By-election should be borne by the Government immediately concerned.
116 Electoral — continued.
No consideration was given to the question of the conduct of elections, it being fully realized that the control of, and financial responsibility for the conduct of any election should be exclusively reserved to the Government concerned.
The Premiers' Conference, which sat in Adelaide in May last, passed a resolution in the following terms, namely : —
" That the Electoral Officers having recommended that it is practicable and advisable to have uniformity in regard to State and Federal Rolls, the respective States be invited to take the necessary steps to give effect to the recommendation."
The representatives of the States of Victoria, South Australia, and Western Australia have conferred with the Chief Electoral Officer for the Commonwealth in regard to the amendments of the law (State and Commonwealth) necessary to give effect to the resolutions passed by the Conference of Electoral Represen- tatives of the Commonwealth and thp States, subject to the decision of the Oovernments concerned in regard to matters of policy affecting the franchise, and it is understood that the Governments of these States will take legislative action at an early date, and that the matter is still receiving consideration in the States of New South Wales and Queensland.
AMENDMENT OP REPRESENTATION ACT 1905.
Owing to the absence from the Commonwealth of large numbers of men who are serving with the Australian Imperial Force, a Bill to amend the Refresentation Act 1905 was passed through both Houses of Parliament on the 30th May, 1916, providing that the Chief Electoral Officer shall not appoint an Enumeration Day at the expiration of the fifth year after the census taken in the year 1911.
The effect of this amendment will be to preclude an Enumeration Day being appointed, unless Parliament otherwise decides, until the next Census Day (1921).
REFERENDUM 1916 (MILITARY SERVICE).
Following on the announcement in Parliament on the 30th August by the Honorable the Prime Minister that a Referendum would be taken on the question of military service outside Australia, arrangements are being proceeded with for the taking of the poll on Saturday, the 28th October, 1916.
The Rolls for the several States are being reprinted, and it is anticipated that tliey will be available for issue at the end of September.

METHODS FOLLOWED IN DISTRIBUTING STATES INTO ELECTORATES BY
THE SEVERAL STATES
Commonwealth of Australia.
Each State is distributed into Electorates by three Commissioners. The basis for the distribution is the quota of electors subject to —
(a) community or diversity of
interest, (6) means of communication, (c) physical features, {d) existing boundaries of Divisions,
and (e) boundaries of State Electorates. A marginal allowance not greater than one-fifth more or one-fifth less than the quota may be adopted when necessary. The Commissioners' proposed distribu- tion is subject to the approval of Parliament, and where disapproved is remitted to the Commissioners for fresh proposals. A redistribution of Electorates in any State may be made — (a) whenever an alteration is made in the number of Members of the House of Representatives to be elected for a State ; (6) whenever in one-fourth of the Divisions in a State the number of electors dififers from a quota by a greater extent than one-fifth more or one-fifth less ; and (c) at such other times as the Governor- General thinks fit.
State of New South Wales.
State of Victoria.
The State is distributed by three Commissioners chosen from some persons holding office in the Pubhc Service of New South Wales. A distribution is required to be made within three months after the results of every Census of the popula- tion of New South Wales has been ascertained and reported to the Colonial Secretary.
A distribution takes effect when approved by resolution of the Legislative Assembly with or without amendment and upon proclamation of the names and boundaries of the Electorates. Additional dis- tributions may be made in the fourth or fifth year after the taking of any Census if the Electoral Roll shows an in- crease of, or reduction in, the prescribed quota of not less than 25 per cent.
The boundaries of Electorates are fixed by the Parliament;

An adjustment may be made whenever at any time the number of electors whose names appear on the Electoral Roll of any District is so much above, or so much below, the prescribed quota of electors, after taking into consideration the marginal allowance provided for, that in the opinion of the Governor in Council it has become necessary to reduce or increase the number of electors so as to approximate the same to the quota. Three Commissioners are appointed to make the adjustment of the Electorate affected, and of such other Electorates as may be necessary to effect a proper adjustment, which takes effect upon proclamation by the Governor in Council. The quota is obtained as follows : — The number of electors is divided by 72 (the number of Electorates) subject to a marginal allowance of not more than one-fifth greater or one-fifth less.
State of South Australia.
The boundaries of Electorates are fixed by the Par- liament.

FORMS OF BALLOT-PAPERS USED AT THE COMMONWEALTH ELECTIONS AND REFERENDUMS, AND AT THE STATE ELECTIONS FOR THE MORE NUMEROUS HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT IN THE STATE- METHODS OF VOTING, ETC.
Commonwealth. — In the Commonwealth form of Ballot-paper a square is printed opposite the name of each candidate. The elector records his vote by making a cross (X) in the square opposite the names of the candidates (Senate) or name of the candidate (House of Representatives) for whom he votes. In a Senate election the voter must vote for the full number of candidates to be elected — i.e.y three in the case of an ordinary triennial election, and six in the case of an election following a dissolution of the Senate. In a Referendum under the provisions of the Referendum (Constitution Alteration) Act the same method of voting is adopted as in the case of an election, but where several questions are submitted to the electors at the same time it is the practice to provide one special form of ballot paper, and to set forth and number each question separately thereon. An elector may legially vote in respect of any or all of the questions. Separate and distinctively coloured ballot papers are provided for the purposes of — (o) A Senate Election ;
(b) A House of Representatives Election ; and
(c) A Referendum,
Each State is one electorate for the purposes of Senate elections, but is divided, on a population basis, into single electorates for the purposes of House of Representatives elections.
Following are copies of forms of the Ballot-Papers used at —
(a) A Senate Election ;
(b) A House of Representatives Election ;
(c) A Referendum,
(i) Where one question only is submitted to the electors, (ii) Where more than one question is submitted to the electors.

The Commonwealth Government decided in July that, in order to secure necessary independence for the activities of the Commonwealth Statistician in respect of all matters pertaining to the administration and professional work of the Bureau of Census and Statistics, and in respect of all appointments to the staff of that Bureau, the Commonwealth Statistician (Mr, G. H. Kjiibbs) shall in future communicate directly with the Minister for Home Affairs ; and further, that in all matters in which the professional advice or other service of the Statistician is required by a Minister or with his Minister's approval is sought by the head of any Department, communication shall be made directly to the Statistician.
This new arrangement will avoid delay through circumlocution, and will ensure secrecy in regard to all information either sought or given. Commonwealth and State Ministers, Members of the Commonwealth or State Parliaments, and all other persons who desire information from the Commonwealth Statistician should make their applications direct to him, instead of addressing them to or sending them through the Secretary of the Department of Home Affairs.

CENSUS.— The whole of the detailed tables for the Census of 1911 have been printed and published in Volumes II. and III. of The Census of the Commonwealth of Australia. Volume I., containing a review and analysis of the data, has been unavoidably held up, owing to pressure of work arising from the War. A volume of monetary tables based on the Mortality Experience of the Commonwealth for the decennium 1901-1910 was prepared and issued, and a companion volume comprising the values of joint-life annuities is now in course o' compilation.
WAR CENSUS. — The work of the War Census is now at an advanced stage. All personal cards have been tabulated and indexed, and the tabulation of the Wealth and Income Cards is nearing completion. The War Census Staff at the present time (16th August, 1916) numbers 115 persons. The whole of the War Census Staff was engaged on the issue of the Prime Minister's recruiting appeal. A record has been made of the replies received, and steps arc now being taken to ensure a satisfactory completion of this work.

In the following table are given the estimated populations of the principal Australian towns as at the date of the recent Census, 3rd April, 1911. In all cases the populations given for the towns include those of contiguous suburban areas,, and comprise the area contained within a circle of 2, 5, or 10-mile radius of the principal post office.
135 Census and Statistics — continued
The figures for Metropolitan towns are also inserted, but will be seen to differ slightly in some instances from those given in the following tables, the reason being that the figures given below relate to the population within a circle of lO-mile radius of the G.P.O., whilst, except in the case of Melbourne and Brisbane, this lO-mile circle does not exactly constitute the accepted Metropolitan area.

♦ Owing to the failure to record as Oversea Imports goods received in one State of the Commonwealth for transhipment to another State thereof, it has been estimated that the value of Imports given in this table is understated by the following amounts :— 1901, £2,121,500 ; 1902, £1,546,924 ; 1903, £1,024,211. f Does not include the value of Stores shipped in Australian Ports on board oversea ships. The value of Ships' Stores was in 1906, £875,966; 1907, £998,897 ; 1908, £1,196,106 ; 1909, £1,071,677 ; 1910, £1,080,133 ; 1911, £1,238,446 ; In 1912, £1,431,985 ; in 1913, £1,458.702 ; in the first six months of 1914, £771,581 ; and in 1914-15, £1,587,757. § First six months only. || Preliminary Figures.

151 Census and Statistics — continued.
Number of Sheep in Various Countries— continued.
Dalgety's Annual Wool Review quotes some United States estimates of the numbers of sheep in the world, and their production of wools, for many of the wools differ materially. From these figures it would appear that while Australia has 13 per cent, of the world's sheep, she produces upwards of 20 per cent, of the world's wool ; and New Zealand, with 4 per cent, of the sheep, yields 7 per cent, of the wool. Thus Australasia contains 17 per cent, of the world's sheep, which yield 27 per cent, of the world's wool, and the best wool into the bargain. The following is a condensation of the statistics given : —

The Continent of Europe has the most sheep on this list, but they average only 4.3 lbs. of wool, while Australia averages 7 lbs. per sheep. Russia has over 46 million sheep in Europe and over 34 millions in Asia, making over 80 millions, and the combined clip is placed at 380 million lbs. The Australian clip is by far the greatest of any country.

Distribution of Incomes in Australia.
The first table furnishes a rough estimate of the distribution of incomes in Australia according to their magnitude. The table is based upon the income tax returns of all the States. These returns show both amount of tax and distribution of incomes, excepting in the case of South Australia, which does not show the distribution. The distribution in this case was assumed to agree with the aggregate for the other States. In the case of New South Wales, the latest figdres for incomes less than £1,000 which could be used for this purpose, were those of the 1907 returns, owing to the fact that in later years incomes up to £1,000 derived from personal exertion were not subject to income tax. An allowance based on the increase in popu- lation between 1907 and 1910 has been made.
The significance of aggregation of incomes above certain limiting amounts can be measured — among other ways — by showing what it would represent on the average to adults whose incomes do not reach the limiting amount. This is shown in the first table, and its weekly equivalent is given.
A second measure of the significance of the aggregates above the limiting amounts can be had by comparing them with the differences per capita of population between good and bad years, in respect, say, of imports, exports, and production. These differences are shown in the second table, together with the corresponding value per adult, and give a kind of measure of the magnitude of the influence of favorable seasons on the well-being of the community by showing what, on the supposition of uniform distribution among adults, the difference of imports, exports, or production implies. The latter table gives also some indication of what — in the present conditions of the application of science and human effort to the production of wealth — may be called the limitations imposed by nature, for the difference of production between one of the best and one of the worst years in the last decade amounts to only £23 Oa. 3d. per adult.

MODERN FINANCE.
Modern finance means constructive work. It symbolizes the organization and mobilization of the wealth of a nation so that the scattered monetary resources of
individuals may be co-ordinated and guided into a tremendous current of fructified co-operation a thousand fold — nay, twenty thousand fold — more potent than they would or could be in the most skilful individual hands.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENCE.
Digest prepared by Senator the Hon. G. F. Pearce (W:A.), Minister for Defence.
AUSTRALIAN IMPERIAL FORCE.
The first Australian Division of 20,000 left Australia on the 1st November, 19H. Twelve months later over 100,000 troops had been organized, equipped, and despatched for active service abroad. This number had increased to 220,000 on the 31st July last, on which date there were, in addition, 45,000 men in training in camps in Australia. The Australian and New Zealand Troops are now organized into five Infantry Divisions and one Mounted Division. In addition, many miscellaneous units requiring special training have been raised and despatched from Australia, and the equipment of some of these units is dealt with under the heading of " Equipment and Clothing."
The Imperial Army organization is rigidly adhered to, and the system of training is modelled on that of the Imperial Army. During the period of training special arrangements are made to ensure thorough training in musketry, bayonet fighting, scouting, entrenching by day and by night, the use of bombs, grenades, &c.
Training of Officers.
To ensure that the training and examination of officers of the A.I.F. is conducted on uniform lines, all candidates after selection, on the results of preparatory competition examinations in their respectij^e Military Districts, are sent to a filial officers' training and qualifying school at Duntroon, where the staff of the Koyal Military College is available to supervise the school. Already 1,010 candidates have attended the school, and the consequential effect is the standardizing of the training of the troops, which is a very material factor in the efficiency of the Army.
Eeinforcements.
The actual number of monthly reinforcements required is 16,500, and for the month of September 32,500 are required.
Kecruiting. Kecruits enrolled for the last four months are as follow : —
June .. .. .. 6,375
July 6,170
Aug 6,161
Sept. .. .. .. 9,072
Total .. .. 27,778
A.I.F. Abroad Administration Head-Quarters. Owing to the decision of the Imperial Authorities to transfer the Australian Infantry Divisions to operate in France, the Australian Administrative Head- Quarters was transferred from Cairo to 130 Horseferry-road, Westminster, London, on the 10th May, leaving a section in Egypt to attend to administrative details of the troops remaining there.
Department of Defence — continued. 1 76
A.I.F. English Training Head-Quarters. The training of the A.I.F. in England is carried out at Salisbury Plain, under the control of the Commandant A.I.F. Training Camps.
EQUIPMENT OF AUSTRALIAN EXPEDITIONARY FORCES.
Equipment and Clothing.
Except in the case of one or two items which the Imperial Government has undertaken to supply, the whole of the troops forming the Expeditionary Forces of the Commonwealth have been fully clothed and fitted out with the very latest fighting equipment, and no unit up to the present time has embarked from Australia deficient in any single article of clothing or equipment which would in any way impair its fighting efiiciency.
Every member of the Expeditionary Forces has been provided with two suits of warm woollen garments of excellent quality, also underclothing_, and substantial, comfortable boots ; and, in addition, reserve stocks of these are being shipped to Egypt in sufficient quantities to enable the troops to obtain new issues every three months.
Resources op Australia in Equipping Forces.
The fitting out for service abroad of units, which hitherto had not formed part of the Australian War Organization, called for considerable initiative and resource, as much experimental work became necessary in providing new stores, regarding which only meagre details were available locally. All difficulties in this respect have, however, been successfully surmounted, and it has been made manifest that the resources of the Commonwealth in labour and machinery sufficed to produce almost every item of necessary military equipment.
Many articles which had not previously been manufactured in Australia are now being turned out locally. They include —
Infantry equipment, Spurs,
Heliographs, Intrenching implements,
Compasses (prismatic), Wire-cutters,
Signalling lamps, Shovels,
Periscopes, Forks,
Picks, Spoons,
Bits, Wireless telegraph sets.
Stirrups,
Vehicles and Harness. For transport and supply services in connexion with troops embarked to date 3,400 vehicles and 16,000 sets of harness have been provided. Practically all these vehicles have been made in Australia ; also about 11,000 sets of saddlery. The Government Harness and Saddlery Factory has turned out an enormous amount of leather and canvas work, embracing 150 distinct articles, and has proved a most valuable adjunct to the resources of the Department in the execution of the orders for supplies urgently required to meet unforeseen demands.
KlFLES.
It is satisfactory to note that 25 per cent, of the rifles supplied to the Australian Imperial Force have been manufactured at the Commonwealth Small Arms Factory. The weapons supplied from this source have been well reported on from Egypt.
177 Department OF Defence — continued.
Ammunition — Small Arm.
The supply of small arm ammunition (also made in Australia) has alwaj^ been found to be one of the greatest difficulties in time of war. The resources of the Commonwealth have been severely taxed in this connexion, but all requirements have been fully met.
The troops in military occupation of the late German possessions in the South Pacific, in addition to some thousands of native police and others employed by the Administrator, have had to be provided with ammunition, equipment, and special clothing to comply with climatic conditions and local custom.
Provision has also been made for the maintenance of the Citizen Army to enable the training prescribed under the Defence Act to be carried out, and to falcilitate efficient mobilization if necessary.
Food Supplies. The following figures give some idea of the enormous quantity of food supplies ^<:)btained by the Department to provision troops during the past year : — Bread . . . . 23 million lbs.
Meat |
.. 27i |
Potatoes . . |
.. 18i |
Jam |
.. 4i |
Sugar |
.. 34 |
Food supplies have been provided for the troops at Rabaul and also for the Bitives employed by the Administrator of the Islands.
Owing to the climatic conditions and barrenness of resources in food supplies iithese regions, this is a matter of the greatest importance.
1 Forage.
vorage in large quantities and of every variety has been acquired for feeding hojjs in camp. The daily requirements are approximately —
\ 32 tons oaten chaff,
\ 16 tons oats,
\ 12 tons bran.
Irthermore, supplies of forage, as shown hereunder, have been shipped on transorts during the past twelve months for the sustenance of horses during the voya^ : —

Since ^t statement the Defence Department has purchased for military purposes some 7,6^orses, costing £164,240, making the total purchased since the outbreak of war 36,^ horses and 49 mules, at a cost of £726,193.
Up to te 33,842 horses and 49 mules have been sent overseas for use of the A.I.F., ani^Lere are still about 5,400 remounts on hand for local training purposes and to ful%ture requirements.
Department of Defence — continued. 178
Medical Services. Every endeavour has been made to keep the medical services up to the highest possible standard. Complaints were received in the early part of the year regarding the conduct of the Australian hospitals in Egypt. As a result the Director-General, Medical Services, visited all medical units overseas, and a complete re -arrangement of these services was made. Such re -arrangement has worked well and smoothly, and the public can be confidently assured that all invalids will receive the very best possible treatment. As the Government of India were short of nurses, a large number have been sent from Australia to assist them in nursing their invalids.
Casualties.
Our casualties in connexion with the present war, including those who have died in Egypt and en route since embarkation of the first contingent, now (9th Octo- ber) total 71,683, made up as follows : — •

A large proportion of the sick and wounded cases are, fortunately, of such a nature that their services have been, and will be available for the task in aand,, so that the figures do not necessarily mean our forces are permanently depleted to the extent shown.

AVIATION.
The Central Flying School, at Laverton, has been established for the training of officers of the Military Forces as military pilots, and for the training of non- commissioned officers as mechanics. Permanent personnel, consisting of three officers and 50 other ranks, is provided.
The aerodrome is 700 acres in extent, with a water frontage on which hydroplane hangers are being constructed.
The buildings at the Flying School include aeroplane hangars, repair shops, offices, officers' quarters, and non-commissioned officers' quarters.
The repair shop is fully equipped, and in it complete aeroplanes are constructed. The aeroplane engines are constructed in Melbourne.
The flying equipment at present comprises eight aeroplanes and one hydroplane.
A half-flight of the Australian Flying Corps was organized, trained, and despatched to Mesopotamia in April, 1915. A squadron of the Australian Flying Corps, consisting of 28 officers and 200 other ranks, has been despatched for active service, and a further squadron will be despatched in a few months.
Schools for officers to qualify as pilots are held regularly.
CITIZEN FORCE TRAINING.
In consequence of the withdrawal of a large number of permanent and citizen officers and permanent instructors for the A.I.F., the training of the Citizen Forces had to be suspended temporarily, but, by a re-distribution of those available for such duties, the training has now been resumed and the annual camps of training of the Citizen Forces are being held this year as usual.

The Possessions previously known as German New Guinea, south of the equator, continue to be occupied by Australian Troops under Brigadier-General Pethe- bridge as Administrator and Commanding Officer. The islands are at varying distances from New Britain, where the Head-Quarters are located, one being as much as 900 miles away. Garrisons are maintained at each of the important stations.
The trade of the Possessions is principally copra, but exports consist also of cocoa, medicinal barks, maize, and shells (used for making pearl buttons). The average monthly output of copra is 1,000 tons. All exports come to Australia in British vessels, and all stores, rations, and commodities used in the Territory for trading and the upkeep of plantations go from Australia.
Under the terms of surrender, Germans who subscribed to the oath of neutrality and have observed regulations are permitted to follow their vocation within prescribed areas, but the proceeds from any business or plantation are officially supervised to prevent any benefit accruing to the enemy.
The Customs' receipts from October, 1914, to 30th June, 1916, were : — Import duty £39,570, and export duty £8,695.
At the end of 1913, the white population of the colony, including Japanese, was about 1,600, of which 75 per cent, were Germans. Since our occupation, about 300 Germans have been sent out of the colony. There are about 1,300 Chinese in the Possessicft^
About 75,000 acres are under cultivation, mostly cocoanuts.
About 12,000 natives are variously employed in connexion with plantations ; the usual period of contract being three years. As a rule, natives work more satisfactorily when employed on an island quite distinct from that which they are natives of.
Department of Defence — continued. 180 •
German paper money is not now recognised as currency in the Possession^ but Grerman silver and nickel coins are accepted at the value of lid. for a mark. Any German silver money which comes into the Commonwealth Bank at Rabaul is not re-issued, British money gradually supplanting the German currency.
A branch of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia has been established at Rabaul, and its business is steadily increasing.
The health of the troops is most satisfactory, owing to the precautions taken by the Military Medical Staff.

COMMONWEALTH PRICES BOARD.
(Constituted under the War Preeautioru Act 1914-15.)
{Administered in the Defartment of Defence by the Assistant Minister, Senator
the Honorable E. J. Russell.)
A MILLION POUNDS SAVED ANNUALLY. THE BOARD.
Chairman :
J. H. Catts, M.H.R. (New South Wales).
Members :
Senator J. Barnes (Victoria) G. E. Yates, M.H.R. (South Aus- tralia)
H. Sinclair, M.H.R. (Queens- land)
W. M. Fleming, M.H.R. (New South Wales).
The Commonwealth Prices Board was appointed on 28th March, 1916. The fiist business relegated to it by the Government was to enquire into and recommend fair and reasonable maximum prices for Flour and Bread throughout Australia. Shbrtly afterwards Mill Offal — ^Bran and Pollard — prices were referred to the Bo&,rd for similar action.
Later, on 18th May and 14th June, shipping freights on Sugar, Coal, and Australian Coastal Shipping Freights generally were referred to the Board.
On 20th July, the Commonwealth Government, by Statutory Rules No. 155, enteted upon the general control (by means of the Board's recommendations) of t^e fixation of prices of all Foodstuffs, Necessary Commodities and Transport Serv^es throughout Australia, taking over incidentally the work of the Necessary Comrtiodities Commission of New South Wales, the Control of Trade Board of Queensland, and the Prices Regulation Commission of South Australia. The Stated^of Victoria, Tasmania, and Western Australia had no price-fixing machinery in existence.
\ An Active Board.
Fro\n 28th March to 10th August, the Board held sixty-five meetings and made forty-fite price recommendations to the Government, covering Flour, Bran, and Pollard (wholesale and retail), Self-Raising Flour (wholesale and retail), and Bread (shop aad delivered prices) for Australia. The Board visited and took evidence in the cipital cities of the States and other large centres, and called for returra from, aik dealt with, 3,000 bakery businesses and 300 flour mills, fixing prices at some 5,150 centres — 250 for flour and 2,904 for bread. In connexion with the investigaion of bread prices, 2,500 police reports were sent in, at the invitation of the Boarq and dealt with.
Unfinished Business.
On lOtV August the following business was in an unfinished condition : —
MaUers\before the Board. — Cheese (Queensland); Butter (Victoria); Benzine (New Souti Wales) ; Fry's Cocoa (all States) ; scheme of regulations for guidance of State Commissioners.
Matters deferred to State Commissioners. — Prices of Groceries and Self-Raising Flour (VictoW) ; Prices of Self-Raising Flour and Plum Puddings (Tasmania) ; Queensland aid South Australia ; Prices of Self-Raising Flour and position of Mill Offal, (WesteW Australia).
(A list comorising the greater number of necessary foodstuffs was " declared " by the Governnent on the recommendation of the Board, and action is pending regarding them)
Commonwealth Prices Board — 182 continued.
Proclaimed Areas. The Board divided Australia into " Areas " for price-proclaiming purposes is follows : —
1. Metropolitan areas.
2. Municipalities.
3. Areas within a five-mile radius of a post office (centres named not
being municipalities).
4. Supplemntary State areas, i.e., that portion of each State not
covered by 1, 2, and 3.
Coastal Freights.
On the 18th July the Board made a preliminary report to the Government re the carriage of coal from Newcastle to South Australia, carriage of sugar, and freights generally, and suggested a certain course of action.
Wheat.
The States of Queensland and Tasmania are not included in what is known ? the " Government Wheat Pool " arrangements. On 17th April and 12th Jun, respectively, reports and recommendations were made to the Government, coverig wheat supplies and prices in the above-named States.
Proclamations and Policing of Prices.
The Board also made recommendations to the Governemnt for the simplificaon of price-fixing proclamations and for widely disseminating the information contaied therein, as well as regards policing of fixed prices.
Savings on Bread.
The accountant of the Board (Mr. H. Brewer) prepared the following statement, under instruction from the Chairman, showing the annual savings to the conimer through the fixing of prices of bread and mill products by the Commonwealtl — •
Bread.
New South Wales |
£107,000 |
Victoria |
184,700 |
Queensland . . |
73,000 |
South Australia |
21,495 |
Western Australia |
22,486 |
Tasmania |
23,885 |
Total |
£432,566 |
These figures are worked out on the following basis : —
1. Shop price of bread for cash.
2. Consumption of bread per head (Commonwealth Statisian).
3. Population of municipalities (only) where prices have en fixed.
4. Metropolitan areas of Sydney and Adelaide excluded.
The large number of centres proclaimed as areas, extending to radius of five miles from the local post office, and which are not municipali^j have not been included in the calculation as the population served could no^e definitely arrived at. No calculation has been made in regard to areas outsid'^ price-fixed areas, although the fixed prices are known to influence prices in ad j-iit localities. The metropolitan areas of Sydney and Adelaide were dealt with by ^te tribunals.
183 Commonwealth Prices Board— \ continued.
'and the Commonwealth reduction in these areas was not material. The shop price has been chosen as the most reliable for the purposes of calculation. If the delivered price were taken either wholly or in part the margin of difference would be found to be much the same. At any rate, the people have the fullest opportunity of taking advantage of the shop cash price. It is the opinion of Mr. Brewer that the calculation errs on the conservative side, and that the annual saving from the fixation of bread prices amounts to at least £500,000.
Bran and Pollard.
The annual requirements of bran and pollard for Australia (Commonwealth
Statistician) are given at 300,000 tons. Distributing this amongst the States on
le -basis of population, and taking the average reduction in the price of bran
id pollard in each State as the result of the Board's recommendations, Mr.
:ewer arrived at the following estimate of annual saving on the Offal Bill : —
New South Wales .. .. .. £72,000
Victoria Queensland . . South Australia Tasmania Western Australia
60,000 30,000 12,000 9,000 15,000
£198,000
Thes figures are based on wholesale prices and parcels. It is known that the fixing, of th retail prices for mill offal has made a large saving to small consumers over and bove these figures.
\
\ Flour.
(Wholesale f rices only.)
Th^nnual consumption of flour for a population of 5,000,000 (five millions) in the Comm\wealth, is estimated by the Commonwealth Statistician to be 521, 000^ tons.
Theible below is based on this estimate, and shows the annual reduction in the pricof flour at the mill door owing to the fixation of prices by the Common- wealth tbe £273,216.
In aving at this result, the prices of flour as fixed have been compared with those ruJg in each State on the date immediately preceding the proclamation.

Commonwealth Prices Board — 184 continued.
Prices have been fixed for retail parcels of flour, 60's and 25's and single poun( (as well as for self-raising flour), and reductions effected of upwards of Is. on 2;"] and up to 3s. on 50's. It is, however, not possible to make any approximate accurate calculation in regard to these parcels.

ii
Taking into account the influence on prices in centres not proclaimed as areas or for areas for which prices are not so far fixed, the encouragement in poultry and pork raising, and production of milk, with attendant cheapening of foodstuffs and commodities, it is not an over estimate to place the savings to the people by the above price fixations in the few lines mentioned at one million pounds (£1,000.000), or equal to £1 5s. per average family for the whole Commonwealth.
(This report covers the operations of the Board from 28th March to the 10th August, 1916.)

COMMONWEALTH TREASURY,
INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
Submitted to Parliament by the Federal Treasurer, Hon. W. G. Higgs, M.P. {Capricorni Queensland), on 27 th September, 1916.
RECEIPTS.
Statement showing the actual receipts and expenditure for the financial year end( 30th June, 1916, and the estimated receipts and expenditure for the financial year ende 30th June, 1917.
Receipts.
Customs Excise
It is difficult to estimate with accuracy the returns from Customs and Excise. Last vear we received fromjthese sources the sum of £16,944,941. At the end of this finan- cail vear we shall, I believe, have received ^ about £16,750,000.
Post Office
The estimated increase of about £400,000 in Postal revenue is expected, namely, from the revenue derived as the result of increased telephone rates, the greater use of the cable services due to the war, and the continued heavy postings to the troops abroad.
Land Tax
The anticipated decrease of about £100,000 in Land Tax revenue is partly due to transfers from the taxable to the non-taxable area, partly to transfers within the taxable field by former large owners to several and smaller owners who would still be taxable, but at a lower rate.
Probate and Succession Duties
Income Tax
The anticipated decrease in Income Tax revenue of £680,000 is mainly due to refunds which will have to be made owing to decisions of the High Court, partly to drought in some of the States, and partly to less profitable trade. Some buinesss men report that trade was not so profitable in 1915-16 as in 1914-15 owning to increased expenses arising out of war conditions.
Coinage
Silver currency expansion is due partly to the quantity of silver soldiers take away with them, and partly, no doubt, to the prosperous trade which is the result of the expenditure in Australia of war loan moneys.
Defence — Mlitary
The estimated Defence revenue (military) of £200,000 is made up of amounts received for foodstuffs, &c., sup- pUed to other Dominions in previous financial year, and of fines, deficiencies in equipment, sales of stores and obsolete material.

Sugar
A crisis in the sugar industry in Queensland having arisen owing to Judge Dickson's award in a dispute as to wages, some exception is taken to the Government making any profit out of the management of the sugar business, but it must be remembered that, in order to supply the public with sugar at 3id. per lb., plus extra cost of de- livery in remote districts, the Government prices entailed a loss of £2 per ton on foreign sugar imported. As it will be necessary during the war to again import foreign sugar to make up for the deficiency in the Australian production, war prices for foreign sugar may be so high that a loss of even more than £2 per ton may have to be met out of the profits on Australian home-grown sugar. None can say until the war is over whether there will a profit or a loss on the Government dealings in sugar.
The Government have been asked to settle the trouble in Queensland by increasing the price of sugar to the general public, but the Government are not ^sposed to do this.
When the Government undertook to pay £18 per ton for raw sugar, they believed, and still believe, that price should permit of every one engaged in the industry up to and including the raw sugar stage receiving a reasonable return for capital and labour. If Judge Dickson's decisions are inequitable, some means should be found for reviewing the award.
The Government have been asked to invite the Inter- State Commission to inquire into and report upon the crisis, and are willing to do so, providing that the agree- ments entered into between the Commonwealth Go- vernment, the Queensland Government, the Colonial Sugar Refining Company, and the Millaquin Sugar Re- fining Company are not to come under review.
Funds Accumulated in previous Year for Invalid and Old-age Pensions
This sum of £3,000,000 was brought forward from last year's revenue to relieve the pressure on the revenue this year.
Proposed Entertainments Tax (say, half-year)
This tax will amount to id. on a ticket costing 3d. ; Id. for a ticket costing 6d. ; and Id. for each additional 6d. or part thereof.
Proposed War-time Profits Tax for 1915-16
The Government propose to take 50 per cent, of the profits for the year 1915-16, allowing an exemption of £200 and a profit standard of 5 per cent, and 6 i)er cent.
Proposed War-time Profits Tax for 1916-17
The Government propose to allow a profit standard of 7 and 8 per cent, for this year and an exemption of £200, but propose to take all the war profits over this sum.

Brought forward )posed 25 per cent, increased Income Tax
The Government are of opinion that an increase of , 25 per cent, in the Income Tax is justifiable during this year of the war. It is proposed to reduce the exemption to the sum of £100, and to call upon all persons receiving an income of £100 and up to £200 inclusive to pay- income tax at a flat rate of £1. The exemption allowed in the case of children will be raised from £13 to £26 for each cftild under 16 years of age. Married men and single men with dependants will also be exempted up to £156.
Total Revenue
vy on Wealth for Repatriation Fund — First of three yearly nstalments, say
The Repatriation Fund is for the assistance and benefit of Australian soldiers and their dependants, and is administered by Trustees as they in their discretion think fit. The levy will amount to 1 h per cent, on all estates, real and personal, of the value of £500 and over. The levy may be paid in three equal yearly instalments, or the contributor may pay cash, in which latter case he will be entitled to a rebate or discount calculated on the basis of war loan interest for the period covered by the prepay- ment.

The amount stated in the Estimates 1916-17, Depart- ment of Defence, Military, namely, £73,670,616, is arrived at by taking the round number of £71,000,000 for Expe- ditionary Forces, and the balance £2,670,616 as ordinar}' Military expenditure, although this sum includes some items (payment of censors and staff, internment of enemy subjects, (fee), which is purely war exjienditure.
It is impossible in a brief statement of receipts and expenditure to show the whole of the Naval and Military- items under two heads, for the reason that other Depart- ments of State incur Naval and Military expenditure which is included in the totals appearing opposite the said Departments.
For example, the Treasury Department pays War Pensions, insurance premiums of public servants who have joined the Expeditionary Forces, interest on trans- ferred properties, both Military and Naval.
The Trade and Customs Department purchases com- modities for other Governments in connexion with the war, and expends money in connexion with Prize Courts, &c., &c.
The Home Affairs Department pays rents for Military and Naval buildings. This Department also incurs Defence expenditure in connexion with furnishing, re- pairing and maintenance of buildings, and the construction of certain capital works, such as drill halls, ordnance stores, &c.
I propose, when making the Budget Statement, to set forth the whole of the details of Defence expenditure, including expenditure consequent on the war.
partment of the Navy . .
This expenditure includes transport of troops, £6,000,000 ; trading vessels carrying cargo to various ports, £700,000 ; maintenance of our own warships, £900,000 ; citizen naval forces, £138,000 ; manning war ships, £780,000, &c., &c.
partment of Trade and Customs partment of Home Affairs
Home Affairs Estnnates show an increase of £230,000 over last year's actual expenditure. This increase includes expenses connected with working extra mileage of Kalgoorlie to Port Augusta Railway (£6.5,000) ; Refer- endum (£80,000) ; Census and Statistics (£38,000), increase due to proposed transfer oi State Statistical Staffs.

Expenditure.
Brought forward New Works for all Departments . .
The item. New Works, as estimated, shows au increase of £1,507,373 over last year's actual expenditure. The increase is mainly due to New Works under the Naval and Military Departments, which account for £1,140,000 of the increase, the works referred to being erection of drill halls, ordnance stores, additions to Cordite Factory, Harness Factory, Clothing Factory, Lithgow Small Arms Factory, Barracks, Land Purchases, Arsenal, Naval Bases, Naval Drill Halls, Boatsheds, and Wireless Tele- graph Stations.
Included in the New Works estimate is the sum of £150,000 for the Federal Capital. The Government are of opinion that for the present the expenditure on the Federal Capital should be estimated at a minimum. To stop all expenditure in connexion with the Capital would be unwise. About £856,618 has been spent up to the present, and certain constructional works are necessary to enhance our revenue from the Territory. Transpor- tation to the centre of the city would require 4 miles of railwa3% and another 1 1 miles is required to the northern boundary of the Territory. The construction of this railway line would entitle the Commonwealth to an extension through to Yass by the State Government of New South Wales in accordance with the Seat of Go- vernment Act. These railway facilities would enable Commonwealth lands to be leased at higher rentals, and land settlement would thereby be encouraged in the Territory. Moreover, land which is now used for pastoral purposes would then probably be used for agricultural and residential purposes.
Capital Works (paid from Loan in 1915-16)
This item includes estimates for construction of a railway from Kalgoorlie to Port Augusta, £1,400,000; Acquisition of land in Federal Capital Territory, £100,000; Purchase of land and erection of buildings in London, £173,000 ; Construction of Railway, Pine Creek, Kath- erine River, and southwards, £70,000 ; Purchase of land for Post and Telegraph purposes, £70,000 ; Construction of Conduits and laying wires underground, £392,790 ; machinery, &c.. Cockatoo Island, £65,000— Total, £2,270,790.
The Government has been adversely criticised for continuing the construction of the Kalgoorlie to Port Augusta Railway.
The contention of an influential public journal is that " while we have been at war for two years, more than three and a quarter mUlion pounds have been spent on a work which might have been postponed."
The Government are of opinion that the Kalgoorlie to Port Augusta Railway has never been regarded by Par- liament as a commercial enterprise. It is looked upon as a railwa}'- for defence purposes to be constructed as speedily as possible. Apart from the unwisdom of throwing railway men out of employment, the Govern- ment would regard as financially unsound any pro- posal to delay the construction of a line upon which so much money had been spent at the outbreak of war.

0 vision made for Payment of Invalid and Old-age Pensions, carried to next year
The two foregoing items will enable Honorable Mem- bers to see what War expenditure was paid out of Revenue in 1915-16. It will be seen that after providing £3,000,000 in 1915-16 for the payment of Old-age and Invalid Pensions, in the succeeding year we were still enabled to meet War expenditure to the amount of £3,563,076 out of Revenue.
In 1916-17 the amount of War expenditure to be defrayed from Revenue is estimated to be £6,343,499, but it must be remembered that this is made possible by taking into Revenue the £3,000,000 for the payment of Old-age and Invalid Pensions previously referred to.

DEPARTMENT OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS.
Digest prepared by the Honorable Hugh Mahon, M.P. (Kalgoorlie, W.A.)> Minister for External Affairs.
NORTHERN TERRITORY.
The freezing works at Darwin being erected by Messrs Vestey Bros, are expected to commence operations about April next.
Under its agreement with Vestey Bros., the Government has in hand the work of widening the existing jetty, erecting a 40-ft. transfer turntable, and effecting the necessary alterations to the jetty head. It is hoped that the work will be completed by April next.
Recently an agreement has been come to between the Government and the representatives of Vestey Bros, for the provision of a water supply which will fulfil the requirements of the freezing works and the town as well. From a spring situated a few miles from Darwin, which gives 2,000,000 gallons of excellent water daily, the water is to be brought to Darwin. The cost of the works is estimated at between £30,000 and £40,000, and will be shared by the Government and the company.
The terms of the agreement amply protect the interests of the Government in regard to the future control of the works and supply of water and the charge therefor.
The extension of the railway from Pine Creek to the Katherine is being pushed on. Cattle and trucking yards are being laid out in suitable localities.
Contracts have been let for the construction of an auxiliary scow for service in the Northern Territory to replace the Leichhardt, which was accidentally destroyed by fire last year. The estimated cost of the vessel fully equipped with engines and complete in every particular to suit the requirements of the Territory is about £10,000.
Under the Liquor Ordinance the Government resumed six hotels in the Northern Territory, situated at Darwin, Brock's Creek, Pine Creek, and the Katherine. Those at Brock's Creek and the Katherine have been closed. The amount involved for compensation for land and buildings, furniture and fittings, stocks on hand, and good-will was £27,000.
The results of the trading since the Government has taken over the hotels have been profitable.
Approval has been given for the expenditure of £2,000 for shaft sinking in the Mount Diamond Quadrant, between Pine Creek and Coronet Hill, to test lodes which have been favorably reported upon by the Chief Geologist and Director of Mines.
An Ordinance is being provided for loans up to the value of £20,000 in any one year for the erection of workmen's dwellings in Darwin.
Mr. T. E. Day, late Chief Surveyor, with a fully-equipped party, is at present making an inspection of the country in the southern portion of the Territory west of the telegraph line, with a view to locating pastoral and mineral areas and sites for bores.
In the northern portion of the Territory boring parties are at work in selected localities.
The battery erected by the Government on the Marranboy tin-field has been working for some time, and has proved to be thoroughly efficient. Generally the field promises well, but its development is retarded by the absence of capital and suitable labour.
Department of External 208
Affairs — continued.
NEWS FOR SOLDIERS.
During the visit of the Prime Minister to England, arrangements were made to institute daily news cable service with the High Commissioner's Office to supply the shortage of news which was keenly felt among Australian soldiers. A message containing on the average 200 words is despatched to London, and a copy is dropped at Egypt. This message is published in certain newspapers in London, and is also published in leaflet form and distributed to our soldiers in England and France.
MAIL SERVICES TO NEW HEBRIDES, SOLOMON, GILBERT, ELLICE, AND MARSHALL ISLANDS.
The Contract between Burns, Philp, and Company and the Commonwealth Government has been extended for a further period of twelve months, expiring on the 31st August, 1917. The subsidies payable under the agreement are as follow : —
Solomon Islands Service . . . . . . £2,750
New Hebrides .. .. .. .. £4,900
Marshall, Gilbert, Ellice Islands Service . . . . £2,400
NORFOLK ISLAND.
Improvement of Shipping Facilities.
The progress of Norfolk Island has for a considerable time been retarded by the lack of proper harbor facilities. The absence of such facilities has frequently resulted in blocking the export of large quantities of produce, particularly perishable produce.
Since the transfer of the island as a Territory of the Commonwealth, a company has commenced operations on the island in connexion with the curing, canning, and freezing of fish, as well as in the canning of fruits, of which the island produces large quantities. Without proper shipping facilities such undertakings must be seriously handicapped, and the Government are taking steps to provide suitable means for exporting the produce of the island.
Through the courtesy of the New South Wales Government, Mr. T. E. Burrows, Chief Engineer for Harbors and Drainage, Sydney, was deputed to visit the island and report on the question of providing the necessary shipping facilities there.
After considering Mr. Burrows' recommendations on the subject, it has been decided —
{a) That a jetty be constructed at Ball Bay at an estimated cost of £9,200. (b) That improvements be made to the existing landing places at an estimated cost of £1,100.
Consideration is also being given to the question of establishing a wireless telegraph station on the island.
PAPUAN OIL FIELDS.
Large sums have been spent in the development of oil-fields in Papua, the amount spent up to 30th June, 1916, being £49,331.
The reports of the Director of Oil-fields are satisfactory and encouraging, although the yields have so far been small. Much prospecting work is being carried out and the results obtained warrant further sinking. The work so far has been mainly experimental, as there is a very large area to be surveyed, most of which is covered with dense tropical growth. In all about eighteen whites and 130 natives are employed in this experimental work. Before the Government can commit itself to the heavy expenditure necessary for establishing oil-fields it is necessary for it to have the fullest knowledge regarding the country. The quality of the oil received from the field has been declared by the Federal Analyst to be of the highest standard.

A FFA I RS — continued.
NEW WHARF AT PORT MORESBY.
A new wharf is being constructed at Port Moresby at an estimated cost of £20,000. The Government is itself undertaking the work and the requisite material has already been purchased. A skilled Clerk of Works with the necessary staff of assistants has been sent from Australia to take charge of the work.
NOTES ON INCREASED EXPENDITURE.
The expenditure during 1915-16 under the head of " Contingencies " was considerably increased owing to the large amount of cabling and the employment of temporary assistance necessitated by the enlistment of permanent officers. The total increase under this head was £1,746.
A similar state of things existed in the London Office, where the increased expenditure under these sub-heads amounted to about £1,672.
Owing to the transfer of Norfolk Island to the Commonwealth, an additional expenditure of £3,000 was incurred during 1915-16.
In order to provide an improved mail service to Papua a new agreement was entered into with Messrs. Burns, Philp, and Co., under w^hich the Commonwealth Government pays an additional subsidy of £2,000 per annum.
The expenditure incurred by the South Australian Government for the main- tenance of the Port Augusta-Oodnadatta Kailway (which expenditure has to be refunded by the Commonwealth Government) has considerably increased, the amount provided for 1915-16 being £42,000 in excess of that expended during the previous year.

213 Commonwealth Bank — carUinued.
OPENING OF THE HEAD OFFICE, SYDNEY, 22nd AUGUST, 1916.
Since the commencement of its operations in Sydney, in January, 1913, the Commonwealth Bank has been housed in various buildings. The General Banking Department was located in Stanway House, King-street, and the Savings Bank Department, formerly at 3 Moore-street, but more recently at 30 Castlereagh- street, while the War Loan Branch is situated in Dalton's Buildings, 115 Pitt- street, where it will still remain for some time longer.
With the opening of the new Head Office premises in the up-to-date structure on the corner of Pitt and Moore streets, came the transference of the General and Savings Bank Departments under the one roof.
The opening of the Head Office, on the 22nd August, 1916, took place in the presence of a huge concourse of guests and visitors from all parts of Australia, representing all classes of the Parliamentary, official, financial, and civic life of the Commonwealth, as well as a large gathering of the interested general public.
The ceremony was timed to commence at 12 noon, and shortly before that hour the State Governor, His Excellency Sir Gerald Strickland, accompanied by the Misses Strickland, arrived, and were met by Mr. Denison Miller, Governor of the Bank, and Mrs. Miller, as well as the senior officers of the Bank, included in which number were many of the managers from Inter- State and Country Branches of the Bank.
Punctually at 12 noon. His Excellency the Governor-General, Sir Ronald Craufurd Munro Ferguson, together with Lady Helen Munro Ferguson, arrived, escorted by a squadron of Australian Light Horse, and, having inspected the Guard of Honour, formed by a platoon of the Expeditionary Infantry Forces, was welcomed by the Governor of the Bank, and introduced to the visitors.
His Excellency then received a gold key of the main entrance to the Banking Chamber, in Pitt-street, from the hands of the Governor of the Bank, and, having opened the same, proceeded with the officials to the main entrance to the building, in Moore-street, where the Prime Minister, the Hon. William Morris Hughes, P.C., having been presented with a gold key to same by the Deputy Governor of the Bank, Mr. James Kell, unfastened this door, and declared the building open.
The presentation of a gold key to the Bank's strong-room by Mr. M. B. Young Sydney Manager, to the Hon. W. G. Higgs, Commonwealth Treasurer, and a gold bracelet, with concealed key, to the Public Safe Deposit, by Mr. J. S. Scott, Melbourne Manager, to Mrs. Denison Miller, followed, and the respective doors were duly unlocked.
Returning to the Banking Hall, where an inspection was made by the official party, accompanied by the Governor of the Bank, speeches were delivered by His Excellency the Governor- General, the Prime Minister, the Commonwealth Treasurer, and the Governor of the Bank, to an audience which packed all parts of the Banking Chamber.
As the guests arrived in the morning a programme of the proceedings, together with a booklet descriptive of the building itself, and the facilities afforded by the Public Safe Deposit, were handed them.
The various public tables in the Banking Chamber had also been well supplied with the literature published by the Bank, and these were readily seized by the visitors.
On the conclusion of the ceremony the visitors were permitted to inspect the building throughout, and light refreshments were served in the commodious luncheon room on the ninth floor. An official lunch was also given by His Excellency the Governor- General at the Naval Depot, at Rushcutter's Bay.
Commonwealth Bank — continued.

THE TORRENS SYSTEM OF REGISTRATION OF TITLES TO AND DEALINGS WITH LAND.
Prepared by R. R. Garran, C.M.G., Secretary AUomey-GeneraT s Department and Parliamentary Draftsman, joint publisher with the Hon. Sir John Quick, of Quick and Garran, the standard interpreter oj the Commonwealth Constitution.
The Torrens System of Eegistration in respect of dealings with land is similar to the system of registration in use, under the Merchant Shipping Acts, in respect of dealings with ships.
The Torrens System was introduced by Mr. (afterwards Sir Robert) Torrens in South Australia in 1857, and since then has been adopted in the other Australian States, in New Zealand, Fiji, and Papua, and in the Canton of Vaud, in Switzerland.
The object of the Torrens System is to give certainty to the title to estates in land, to facilitate the proof of the title to estates in land, and to simplify and render less expensive dealings with land, by substituting a single certificate of title for the deeds of title necessary in the case of land under the general law.
The system is in operation in each of the Australian States by virtue of the following Acts respectively : —
New South Wales.— The Real Property Act 1900.
Victoria. — The Transfer oj Land Act 1915.
Queensland. — The Real Property Act of 1861, as amended bv the Real Property
Act of 1877. Souih Australia. — The Real Property Act 1886.
Western Australia. — The Transfer oj Land Act 1893, as amended by the Transfer oj Land Act 1893 Amendment Act 1896, the Transfer oj Land Amerdment Act 1902, the Transjer oj Land Amendment Act 1909, and the Transjer oj Land Amendment Act 1911. Tasmania. — The Real Property Act (25 Vict. No. 16) as amended by — (1863) 26 Vict. No. 1, (1867) 31 Vict. No. 17, (1878) 42 Vict. No. 9, (1886) 50 Vict. No. 8, and (1893) 57 Vict. No. 5. The administration of the Acts in the several States is carried out by the following Departments, offices, and officers respectively : —
New South Wales. — Department of the Registrar- General. Victoria.— The Titles Office. Queensland. — Office of the Registrar of Titles. South Australia. — Lands Titles Registration Office. Western Australia. — Office of Titles. Tasmania. — The Lands Titles Commissioners. The main principles of the Torrens System may be briefly summarized : — 1. Land which may be brought under the Torrens System is divided into two classes —
(o) Unalienated Crown Land which is granted after the introduction of the
system ; and (6) Land alienated in fee before the introduction of the system.
H 2
ToRRENS System of Registration 228 OF Titles — continued.
2. The grants of Crown land made after the introduction of the system must be in duplicate, one copy being placed in the " Register Book," which is composed of Crown Grants and Certificates of Title, the other being held by the owner of the land, who is called the proprietor.
3. To bring under the Torrens System land under the general law an application must be made in the prescribed form and all evidence of title must be produced. After the title has been proved, and provided no caveats have been lodged by persons interested, the land is brought under the Torrens System and certificates of title are then prepared in duplicate, one copy called the original being filed in the Register Book, and the other, called the duplicate, being delivered to the registered proprietor.
4. The person to whom the certificate of title is issued or in whose favour any dealing with land under the Torrens System is registered in the Register Book, is known as the " registered proprietor."
5. The registered proprietor of any estate or interest in land registered under the Torrens System, except in the case of fraud, holds a paramount title subject to such encumbrances as are entered in the Register Book and to certain rights and interests not specially mentioned on the certificate as encumbrances.
6. No notice of any trust may be entered in the Register Book, but trusts may be declared by any document, and a duplicate may be deposited with the prescribed officer for safe custody. The rights of any beneficiary are, where it is deemed expedient, protected, but apart from this, the rights of any registered proprietor are not affected by the deposit of documents referring to trusts.
7. In any dealings with land under the Torrens System the certificate of title is deemed absolute proof of ownership, and a transferee is not affected by any cir- cumstances which would have been a bar to the title of the transferor or by notice of any trust or unregistered interest.
8. No dealing with any land under the Torrens System is effective to pass any estate or interest in the land until it has been registered. As regards leases for a period of less than three years there is, however, no provision for registration. Registration, in such cases, is, therefore, unnecessary.
9. After registration any estate or interest in the land is unaffected by any prior unregistered dealing.
10. Dealings with land have priority in order of registration and not of date.
11. When application is made to bring land under the Torrens System or for the registration of any dealing with land under the system, any person interested
. may in the prescribed form and within the prescribed time lodge a caveat with the prescribed officer forbidding the registration applied for, and until the caveat is removed or lapses the registration may not be effected.
12. In the event of any duplicate grant or certificate of title being lost, destroyed, or obliterated, a fresh duplicate grant or certificate may be issued by the authorized officer.
13. Where a certificate of title or instrument has been issued in error the pre- scribed officer may demand that it be delivered up to be cancelled, corrected, or issued to the proper person.
14. In certain cases the registered proprietor may apply to have his grant or certificate rectified, and the grant or certificate may be rectified accordingly.
15. On bringing land under the Torrens System and on dealing with it in certain ways contributions must be made to the Assurance Fund, the object of which is to provide a fund out of which certain persons who suffer owing to the operation of the system may be compensated.

TOTAL SPENT BY ALL IN TWO YEARS.
NATIONS ON WAR
By Clark F. Hunn, of the American Peace Society. Washington, 23rd July, 1916.
The American Peace Society estimates the total cost of the war at the end of two years at more than £28,000,000,000, basing its estimate on the conservative figures of some of the foremost European statisticians, such as Edgar Crammond, of England ; Henri Masson, of Belgium ; Yves Guyot, of France ; Monsieur Barriol, of Russia ; von Renault and Riesser, of Germany, and the Austrian Minister of National Defence.
The tremendous daily increase in the cost of the war may be seen in comparing these figures with those for 1st August^ 1915, when the total cost was estimated at something like £11,000,000,000. The cost of the various nations at the end of the first year, excluding Japan, Turkey, and the Balkan States, was as follows : —
Direct. £ |
Indirect. £ |

To this must be added the approximate cost to Italy, estimated at about £1,000,000,000 direct cost and £1,200,000,000 indirect cost. The present daily cost of the war is conservatively estimated at £5,600,000 for England ; £3,000,000 for France ; £5,000,000 for Germany ; £3,000,000 for Russia ; and £1,600,000 for Austria.
The total property loss of the five principal nations engaged may be said to be about £5,000,000,000, and the capital loss approximately £4,000,000,000.
Minister Guyot, of France, has declared that " this vast drain on the world's finances is calcidated to put three-fourths of the world in pawn, were it to continue four years longer, leaving the United States as the only solvent nation on earth."
