Thomas, in accordance with adjournment. . The Warden in the Chair. All the. members were present ex,cept Deputy Reeve Speers, Deputy Reeve Blue, and R,eeve Hunter. The Warden addressed the Council. W ARDtEN'S ADDRESS March Session, 1958 To All Members of theE1gin Oounty CouncH, Gentlemen: Since our .January Session, a number of events of social and courtesy nature have required our presence, such as the st. Thomas Milk Producers' banquet, the Nurses' Gapping ceremony, the dinner at Alma College, the Seed Fair and many o'ij1.ers. The entertaiinment 3/t the "Stork Club'" on Saturday night, March 15th, when the ma- jority of C:ouncil and On'icials and their wives were entertained by Reeve L,loyd .ourI'. This occasion wasl most enjoy;able and does much to cement a friendship among our members, and I am sure his hos- pitality was appreciated very much. I regret tha,t it hasn't been possible to attend everything where I anl supposed to be present. F'or ex.a.mple--'I1he Federation of Agricul- ture banquet came on a day when I already had three other meetings. The resources of our iC'ounty are so diversified. It calls for special organiza,tions in each neld to cope with each one sUiccessfully - the livestock industry, the frutt industry, tobacco, seed and vegetable3, etc. One would like to attend all their special functions but that just isn't possible. 40 E1LIGrn COUNTY COUNCIL A glance over our Budget Statement is at !first a bit alarmmg. Never in history, has our expenditures on roads 'been so high. I am in accord with the Engineer's three-year plan, in some respects, but I am receiVing compla'ints that some of our roads are being neglected. We realize "tjhat it isn't a good policy not to keep up necessa,ry repairs on our COUnty roads with the intenSive traffic of today. I believe it would be wise to examine into some of the 3IotUial costs. For example, it was reported that the estimate on the Both- well bndge on the Elgin-Kent Townline would be around $500,000,,00, but Engineer Colby estimates the cost at approximately a little over half of that amount. Many of our €",,{penditures, as I have pointed out, previously are more or less static. There isn't mUlCh we can do to alter them, but in every department, where it is possible, we must pra:c:tise e1conom;y. Taxes are mounting every year, and the cost of living is not going down any. Once mOil:e, I wish to tpank the members of the Committees and Officials, and to commend them for the excellent work they are doing. The minutes of the last day of the january Session were read and confirmed. The fOllowing com?TIunications were read, and referred to the various Oommittees.

Members of the Elgin County Council, Pursuant to Section 86 (!l) of the Assessment .Act, R.SI.O., 1950, Chapter 214, attached hereto is my report for the year, 1958. The basis of the report is essentially the by-law passed in March of last year, which it wlill be remembered was based on the award of the Equalization Court! of the 'Previous year, amended by amounts to ta;ke care of natural increases in assessment in the various munici.,paJ.i- ties. Thefig:ures in this report arel arrived at in a simiilar manner, and the report is set out in columns so that it can readily be seen how the equalization is computed. Oolumn one shows the local total asses'sment in each municipality as at 1st January, 1958, with ,column two shOwing the local total assessment in each municipality as at 1st ,January, 1957. The difI'er- ence between these two columns is the local increase in assessment in each muniCipality which is found in column three. Column four tabulates the equalized assessment in each muni- cipality, as it appears in the by-law passed in March 19157, whilst the figures in 'column five are merely the increases as found in column three, carried over for convenience. Clolumn six showS! the suggested equalization for each muniOlpal- ity for the purpose of the 1958 by-l8JW, and is arrived at by addling the figures in columns four and five. The percentages in column six are arrived at by dividing the total equalized assessment of the Gounty into the various individual totals. The figures in columns; seven and eight are similar in nature to those in columns six and seven, but are for the previous year and. are included for ready comparison only. All of which is respectfully submitted.

WARDEN'S ADDRiESS September Session, 1958 To all Members of the Elgin County Oouncil, Gentlemen: First of all, I want to extend best wishes for a speedy recovery to Reeve Donald BU1~g,ess of Yarmouth TownShip. Exhibition time has roned around again, and. we are very prouct of the showing of Elgin County livestocik. Also, during the year, United states and South America buyers have been buying quite eoc- tensively livestock from OUT ICounty. I believe that our crops have been Ule best on record. Prices for wheat, and hogs, are sa low and by the time the Boards deduct their commission, the prices will be lower yet, and the Boards can't seem to do anything abaut it. We are engaged. in the bigglest road building program in the his- tory of the Oounty. It looks though, that with the special projects included, that to carry through this program, i,t is going to x:un intO' more money than we had planned. 92 ELGIN COUNTY GOUNOI[; The Bothwell Bridge is nearing compLetion. The official opening is to be during the seoond week in Ootober. During the year, the old BookmObile has had to be replaced by a new one, and it is now serv1cing all our schools and libmries. Naturally we are concerned over the closing of the airport and what it will do to those who have been employed there, and: alsO' to those who have been renting homes to its personnel. Deputations from the municipalities most affected have been to Otta,wa ove~ it. I guess we'll just have to wait ~or ottawa to maAke the neoct move. The County Assessor has completed his wwk in Port BUTw'ell. He plans to finish Dutton by October 1st, and to have Rodney, West Lome and Aylmer done by December 1st. With these few remarks, I will now call upon Deputy Reeve GLoin of Yarmouth for a brief report of the Municipa,l Convention held! recentl~ in otta.wa.

Thomas, in accordance with adjournment. The Warden in the Chair. All the members plfesent, eXieept Reeves Barker and Beattde. The Warden addressed the Council. WARDEN'S ADDRESS November Session, 1958 To All Members of the E:1gin County Council, Gentlemen: N8arly a year ago, when I took this office, I feU happy at thel prospect of it, but the time has passed very 'quickly, and very pleas- antly. The congenial assQiciations we ha,ve enljlo~ed and the fine co- operation am.ong the OouI1C1il[ors and C'ommittees has enabled us to aocomplisih a great deal: It has meant much to me to feel tha,t I've had your whole hearted support. On beihalf of thel Gounc:il" 1 wish to eoctend a warm welcome to the, group of junior citizens, who are our guests for the day. I hope you will enjoy yourse'lves and that you may learn things tha,t will be of use to you in years to come. I hope you will always take ,advantage of opportunities like this, tn gather first hand knowledge of whatever interests you. Make thel most of these y:ears, during which you are getting your education, and it will be some of you who will be giving leadership in many fields. : Never in history, has it been more important for a person to have fl. broad knowledg:e and to be ruble to think for 'l:!hemselves. It looks ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIIL 109 as thOlUg'h Communism is in the world to stay, and we must learn, to live with it, and to match it with high standards. The better 'education one has, the better equipped they alle to cope with the vexing problems of our day, whether they 'be local, national, or inter- national. In reference to some of the things we have been doing, during the year. I am not in full ,accord with building all ~oads WI) feet widie. It might be necessary in some pLaces, but to buy land and move baClk fences adds so much to the cost. I am in fa~our of less roadside and. more miles of actual i'oad. Wa all know that a time comes when paved roads need resurfacing but we must not neglect our gravel roads. Thexefoc:e, I feel that we might better repair portions of the paved roads and spend more money on our gravel roads. We have spent more money on roads and bridges urns year, than eVer before m our histOTy. More traffic and heavier traffic has made this necessary . Our County Buildings are in good shape. New li-ghts have been installed in the IOourt room, and in some of the offices,. and a new' garage for the Bookmobile is being Ibuilt :at the baok of the Court, House. The new Superintendent of the County Home, f)eems to be doing: a satisfactory job. We have installed a new pumping system at the Home. It will ensure adequate water supply for present and future needs. The Nurrse's residence is comiIlg along fa;v:ourably, and a new' parking lot at the Hospital is being constructed, a,lso. This was badly needed. HospitaJ. costs contJnue to rise. If our people can be per- ,suaded to enrol in the new Government Hospitalization Plan, it would greatly reduce the indigent patient costs. Farmers of EIlgin have had wonderful crops and good weathel' to harvest them. Prioes though, are generally low, particularly hogs.. wheat, corn and soybeans, and there is a rUInOur that milk, too, is due for a drop in priCe. These products have been over produced. The surplus will halVe to be sold on a world market, and our variouS marketing boards have absolutely no control over thelllL Up to norw, it looks as though all they have done is to collect their fees. The marketing outlook for our surplus is 9. very UIliOOTtain thing at th~ present time. Tobacco growers too, are having their awn troubles to get this year'& crop sold. 110 ELGIN COUNTY COUNOIL With the continued reduoed value of the doTIar in bUying goods and servic:es, Councils are hard pressed to keep up essential services in the County and at the same time, keep the taxes of the man ~1; the back concession so he can meet. them.

ELGIN COUNTY COUNOIL 129 PROBATION OFFIOER'S BElPORT Report to County Council November Session, 1958 Your Worship and Members of Elgin !County. Council: It is with great pleasure that I mak:e this first report of what I hope will be annual reports to you, on the function and progress of: the Probation Service and of the Juvenile and Family Court here in Elgin County. For those of you who are not faJrniliar with our beginnings, thel following is a Sjh.ort, historical sketch. The probation Otfice was insti- tuted in April of 1954,. with my appointment under the Probation Act. A t the same time on request of the iC'ounty and City Councils the Juvenile Delinquents Act of the Dominion was p2'oclaimed for this County under the enabling legislation of the Juvenile and iF"amily Courts Act 1954 Ontario Statutes. This was done as part of a, pro- gr~m instituted by the Ontario Government through the Department of the Attorney -General and which has seen PTobation Services pro- vided fQir the Oourts and Juvenile and Fam.i:1:y Cbu~t established throughoUit the Pmvince. Prior to that time,' Proba,tion was used in only a lImited. wa,y in Ontario, and indeed in Ganada. Ih 19M, for instance, 3,000 were placed on Probation. In 19'57, 6.981 new proba-, tioners with 12:,:858 on SUp8lrlVision during tha~ year. Wha,t this means; in saving, can easily b~ seen when. 1.' tell you that to keep a, man in an, iootitution fOol' one year, costs apprOximately $ti.15rOO.00. The same period on probation, costs only $50.010, and there is no need for loss of pro- ductivity and earnings and no need to maintain the famIly at public' Expense. Also, if necessary, the prohationer is in the pos:ition to pay resti- tution of damages or lOS/51. As an example of this, in 19;54 only $i153.0Qi was collected in restitution,. last year $2,.17,5.97 was collec,ted by our (,,jfice from pvobationers. To gIve an overall pictme of the work handled by our office, I would present the following statistJics: Total Gases - April 1, 1954, to October 31, 1958 ,... 865 Broken down as Juvenile (15 and under) .......,..,.... 175 13() ElLGIN COUNTY COUNCIL Adult-Referred by Courts, Police, etc. ..,. ....'......... 2128 Family (Marital Problems, Counselling, etc.) .. ..... ~2' Besid€lSl these some 200* cases have been seen fOl~ various types oil help and advice, but have not been considerredas full cases and placed on file.

Besdes be'ing Probation Officers respons~ble to all Courts of the. County, I myself act as Clerk of the Juvenile and Family Oourt with responsibility to the Judge for the preparation cases, dockets, records, mders and the collection of all money ordered paid to wives and children for their SU;PPOift by desserting husbands. This phase of the work entails a tremendous amount Qif clerical work and bookke1etP'IDg and we are indebted to a very efficient but overworked secreta,ry, Mrs. Ruth Griffiths, for the proper handling of this phase. As an indica- tion of what has been acoomplished in this division I present the\ following statistIcS: ramUy Court Collections June-December 1954 195:5 1956 19,57 ,,$ 4,5Or7.65 ....,.. 12,582.50 26,2,43.36 29,740.14 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 131 Add to this the $2,lmS.OO of restitution collected in 1957, and you see we are better than a :$30,000.00 a year business, and gentlemen, this is money in the t~ayer's pocket>! because if it were not collected. tp.ese wives and children would have to be supported at public ex-; pense. In our first month with a few cases handed over by the CA.S.. and Magistrate's Courts we collected $107.00. The second $209.00, the third, '$5014.00. Since then with those and new cases, we have not looked back, and now oollect aJbout $2t,500.ilJiO per month. Our major effort is not in tihe field of collection of money' from errant husbands as imp:ressive as thilS may be at present. We Me, mUlch more concerned with helping people to solve their problems. We! would much sooner deal with a jUVlenile out of Court and effect a change in his beha,viour without probation, or, Training School. We would much rather deal with a husband and wife out of Clourt anc.t achieve a reconciliation than be for/ced to take the case to Court. We\ spend many hours working at the buSliness of preVlention of delinquency, crime and broken families. We hope ,and feel our efforts are worth every hour of time and all the effort. We are, however, shorl, staffed both in Probation Officers and clerical help. Next year, a budget will be. presented for the Family Cfourt to this~ and city council, under admin-J istration of justice ,costs. It will not be a lar'ge bUdg,et as the Province\, carries most of the burden of our off'ice. We could use the added clerical help today, and we would a'ppr€lctate any move tha,t could be made to obtain this. I thank yoU! lagain for the opportunity of making this report. I would !be pleased to answea- to the best of :my ability, any qlUes1tions you might have. EARL D. MOORE, Probation Officer, County of E:Jgin 132 EDGIN COUNTY OOUNC[L, WEED INSPECTOR'S REPORT November Session, 1958 To the Warden, and Members of the Eligin Gounty Council: Gentlemen: I wish to report to the Members of the County ICIouncil, on ~e weed contro~ p!I'logram for this year. We had an early Slpring this year, fanners in a1mos,t every part of the County weTe on the land in March. Some farmers had forty to fifty acres of spring grain sowed by the end of March. All signs from fthen look: as if the County of Elgin would ha,vea good c:rop y:ea.r, and I would say Elgin County grew one of the bei.S1t CI'lOPS in many Years, and the 1iargroo,t acreage. The middle of April we had good showers, the spring grain made rapidgIrorwth, and the weeds ,began to come ,along g1ood, alsQi. Yel:low Rocket whi'ch is one of the worst weeds came first. I would say it didn't thdve or grow quite as good ttUs year, as in other springs, but th€["e was plenty, and quite /bad in oome areas. I called on many farmers who had badly infEsted fields. I worked on this weed aU the time it w:as in flower . I asked some fa.J'mers to plow these fields, and I would slay that nine out of ten CiomlPJied, and put beans in the fields. This weed comes in new seeding, and when yoU buy graSSI seed at the price it is now, YOU certainly hate to plough 1t Under. When you spray Yellow Rocket to check it, you kill your c1ov~. Then next, came the mustaird weed. It was the worst I ever have seen in the CQlUnty. I called on as many fa.rmers as I cou~d, and a.dvised the farmers to have it. spcr,'ayed, which many co-operated. It doesn't take muqh chemical to keep mustard seed frOm maturing, but the seed will lay in the ground fol' many years. Then next, came the oxi daisy, wh]CJh is a bad weed, it comes in pastures and ill hay fields, unless YOU have your haying done' early, that should be by <Tune 20th. EDGIN OOUNTY COUNC[]L 133 Then next, is the wild icarrot which is growing in almost two-thirds of EU.gin Oounty. Is is easily controlled by s(praying, but should bet sprayed twice a year. The next weeds are the Golden Rod and Ragweed. Then the people who suffer from hay fever start to complain and the weed inspectors are busy. I am getting more complaints this year than in other years. I gave out more notices this year than in previorus years. I have a large numibea:- of complaints where there are sub-div~ionsl and v'acant lots. I would say these take nearly one-third of my time. Ne:xt, I will give you a report .of the spr'aying done in the County this year: Crop Spraying - Clocn ......'..........,.................. Spring Grain .........".....

County Roads sprayed liOiO miles. Oounty Roads mowed 233 miles. SUlburban Roads sprayed 310 miles. Suburban Roads mowed 310 miles. 80me of this work was done a, little too late. TOIwnshilP roads mowed 300 mHes. Township roads sprayed 69'3 miles. The Provinci,al Highways in E[gin Clonnty were kept well mowed t.his year. FOUIr' townships own their own sprayers, and are doing good work on weed control, and aJso, getting some of the brush. I hope the three other townships will purchase spra,yers ne:xt year, and also the Oounty. It has been estimated that :2~5 farmers own sp:r:ayers tproughout the Oounty, not counting the Slpirayers owned by the tobacco growers. 134 ElDGIN rOOUNTY GOfUNIO]L NOIW, I would like to thank C'ounty and township officials who have co-operated and helped me in the control of weeds throughout the!
