State Ownership and New Zealand Railways Policy
Sir Joseph Ward testifies in London to the Vice-regal Commission on Irish Railways about New Zealand State ownership. He describes a railway system of about 2,700 miles, mostly built by the State, with no rebates, uniform passenger rates, and policy to lower rates to foster settlement and development. He notes concessions, wage increases, a superannuation fund, and free transport for schoolchildren and lime for districts, arguing private ownership would prioritize profits over development.
