In all other cases the figures indicate the quantity or amount.
Timber has dropped 55,348 tons—almost every district showing a decease. This is mainly attributable to heavy importations of poles for Power Boards last year and also to a general decline in the output from local mills.
Under the heading “Other Goods” there is shown an increase of 116,738 tons mainly in grain, fruit, dairy produce, wool, coal, benzine, and artificial manures.
Turning to the revenue, the decrease in passenger receipts is due to a general falling off in short distance bookings this year. The decrease in parcels revenue is explained by the fact that horses and motors are now booked through the goods.
The new tariff has assisted in producing the increase in goods revenue.
