At the request of ,'the Ontario Department of Highways,
your Oommittee has carefully considered the'questIon of in~
iating a programme for iPIost War Works to be constructed on
th,e iOounty Road ISystem. We helieve that it is .advisa;ble_ that
such I a programme' be inaugurated and ,we recommend that
the following estimates be submitted to the Dominion' and
Provincial Governments for their approval.
6, It is the intention to place a new wooden_ floor ,on thfr -Sinden
Bridge, on the l'OadbetweenQoncessions 8 __and 9, Lot 1'5, Bayham.
7. I:t is also int,ended to move the Lowel' Bridge at Viemla~ which
was abandoned by the De,pa,rtment of Highways, to the proposed site
0+1 'lV-Un stl'e~t, Vienna.
The Cou.nty of Elgin due to' its location and, topography.
has probaibly more lai'ge br~dges,' in comparison to its sl2ifr.
than any other county in the. prpvince.W;e ha~'e 67 county
bddgeswith spans of. 20 feet and over. including those on the
county lines in which we have' a 'half interest.

Of these 67 bridges, '33," were c'onstructed'previous to 30 years ago
about Which time trucks were:coming.into_ use to haul heavy loads.
These old bridges, built)n the horse and buggy days, were never in-
tended 00: carry 'the cars; trucks and busS€s of today. Itj,g: impossible to

will carry. We: belie.ve that the rebuildiitg 'of the- oldest of our bridges
should be included in the program foroailstruction afte~ the war.
The 'foliowing estimates also ine_Jupe cutting down, widening and
realigning the hillS' at sOme points so as to reduce the present grades
;'.'and. sharp curves. A few of the most dangerous are:
(a) Tyrconnell Hills.

Mr. Warden and Members of the [E[gin\ County CuuucH,
Gentlemeil:
I wish to report 'to you on the result of. the Corn Borer campaign
this year:
Owing -to the extremely. wet spring it was almost impossible to
secure a clean~up comparable with pl"evious years. In spite o~ this I
am informed by the Pl'ovincia.I Entomologist that the increase in Corn
Borer infestation has only been 4% from 33% in 1942 to 37% -in 19'43. \
This was accomplished at a cost of '$9{l9.50; a 'reduction. of $34.00
from 1942.
Owing' to the increasing importance of the corn crop in Elgin it
is important that all parasHes on the crop be held in check.
I will not attempt to predict the future of the Gorn Borer Cam-
paign under a new Minister of Agriculture, but the Honorable Mr.
Kennedy was Minister when the original Corn Borer Act was, drafted.
All of which is respectfully submitted:
