W ARnEN'S ADDRJEISS
November Session, 1961
To aU Members of the Elgin C10unty Counen,
Gentlemen:
On b$:alf of the Elgin Oounty Council, I wish to extend a
hearty welcome to our young .guests of today. It gives us gl'ieat pride,
as fathers and friends, to demonsrtl'iate to you, the C:Oming gel1lera-
mon, the w:orkings of county gov,ernment, so that you might have
gl'ieater interest and understanding during' your .own lives. This visit
might also prove to be a little preparation f!or future County Coun-
cil candidates.
The November Session is tJ:11e clolSling Session for Corunty youncil
for the yeaJ.~, and it is! the cuS!tIom of the Warden t.o review for those
present, the accomplishments of tihe vadous cammittees.
OUir County Road C'ommittee' wrocih is respo!l.1Slib~'e for the ex-
penditure of about5iOl% 'Of county funds has had a Vieiry satisfying
and sUlCcessful year. The WardSlV'iUe! Bridge, begun in 19160, was ofn-
oially .opened by the Hon. FIred Class, Minister of Highways, on 010:-
tOlber 119th. The Eden Bridge is 'llIearing oomp(lletion and with favor-
able weather will pI10ibably be compiLeted before the end of the yea,r.
The Road System of Etlgin County has been gIven addJit>ional stUdy
that it might be srtreamLined for better service to the people of the
county.
The Elgin MaTIOil' hasibeen eomp1eteil~ rewired, botjh as a sa,fierty
measure and for !better ,lighting. It haS! been made more attractive
by redeco!I"ation.
19<611 haSl s'een the fufiHmerut ofa twenty-dIve year old dream in
t.he opening 'Of the new County Llibirary. The Library Boards, respon-
sible, are to be commended for their eih.OilOO of plan, and excellent
building, as a result.
A few Y1ears ago, when OUT newihoopital was built to serve both
eitYiandeounty, it seemed unnecessary to have ereoted a bunding of
its' sdze. but already it is fiNed to capacity and pI'aus for enlaa-ging
are before the committee.

WEIED INSPE,CTOR'S. REPORT
November Session, 1961
'l10 the Warden" and Membexs of the Elgin Qounty COuncil,
I wish to report on the work done re weed oontrol in the Ooun.-
t.y of Elgin duri:ng the yiea1', 1001.
lin MarClh and April, there weI'le tru-ee or f:our County Meetings,
which I was aSJk.ed to attend in neighiboring Oounties.
There was no aIll1iUal weed meeting in Elgin Corunty during the
tSPring, but we hOipetlo have a meeting in the spring 0[ ,1I9OOi.
162
ELGIN COUNTY COUNOlL
We do not seem tlO have the attendance at thesemootings that,
the neighboring coUJIllties haV!€i. I am hoping that Wlhenthe spring
meeting i5ealled, that all of the County Ag;riCiUltural Committee and
as many County Officials will attend as possible.
I am kept very busy with weed control ,from the first of May
until the middle of Octobe'1'.
Most townships, towns and viJIlages pUita notice in the local
papert10r all weeds to be cut by a cerlain date', andasl manlY times:
laB n6ClessRrY. TJhis was of ,great benefit to me as I could cut lots up
to nine acres without giving a Notice, and then colileClt them in tax-
~, if they didn't pay at the time. I wOUild say that fifty per cent of
the property ownelT'S paid at the time of mowing.
Some fa.nners take grea.t pride in ke'epling their weeds' cut 0'1'
spray:ed, while others are quite satisfied to, have weedy pasture fields
and fell1iCe rows.
Sow thistle was veLrY bad in the CO'unty this year. Parmer:s were
nearly a mO'nth late in harvesting tlheir oa,t crop, and the showers
and damp wea,thm- at harvesting time made, the Wleeds grow 1V'igoll'-
ously ~
The Provincial HighllNays in the County arel 'Very ba.ctl.y infested
with weeds, and do not seem to be improving mucih during thel last
twO' O'r three yearsl.
For the last two years I have had to get in tIoiUlch with the De-
partment of Highways, to remind tlhem of mO'wing the weeds along'
the HigihlWays in the County. They were a month late in g'elttting,
started to mow the weeds, and did nOlt seem to have enough mow-'
ers. Sow thistle, milk weed, Canada Tlhistle, and many otherr weeds
there1iore, were gone to seed !before the,y WErre cut.
County Roads were well mowed except f'oc a few where new
grading was done, and 21210 miles were sprayed.
Township Roads are clean, with some mowed" and 800 miles
".ere sprayed.

we viewed the Conntyand 'Downship roads. He was pleased with'
:the wor'k diO!IlJ8.
The Towns and Villages kept their streets weill mlowed.
The Railways gave me a lot 0[ eoctra WOB:"k this year. It was
Ihard to get. th,e railways to do any mowing, and 'When thJ~ did ac-
tually get at it, it was too late. The Canadian National co-operated,
v.ery well, this y€ar.
Yarmouth Centre AirpOIrt, now operated by the NOIrthcana.
Sprayilng and Dusting Ltd. promised 1Jo clLeaIli IUIp and spray, but didj
Inot get any done.
There were four [Pias'tAure Demonstration !Plots m the County

(1) The farm of William Meek, No. 3 Highway, Southwold

(2) The farm of Miss Sadie Graham. No.3 Highway, Dunwich

(4) The ['arm of Clew Reid, ToiW!n\1ine ibertween Dun'Wich and

Anyone vi,er.ving these demorusrtr3.ltions WOuld quite agree that
'this was the proper way '00 control WiereclSespecially in pastUltes:
'Where weeds can be siprayed without n.uming into damage c:laiJi:11s.
'These plots were made available through the Orbp ImprolVement\
Association, and a special grant by the C!ounty Agricultural Com-
mittee of $35.00 was aldtted.
At this time, I would like to reportt:he rn"op sp~aying done in
the County: Spring Groin 4,000 acres; Cbr:n 211.,1500 'aer~i' and pas-
ture land 3,500 acTes.

ELGIN COUNTY COUNIOl1L
There were two spray damage cmims reported in the County
this Ylear. The claim flOT beans ill Dunwich, 'Ibwnship W3.SI caused by'
Ispraying on a County Road. I had OICcasion to i!ms.poot this" field
three times hefore harvest, and I feel quite SliT'e th~e was no spray
damage.
'The second clam was reported by spraying township roads in
,SOuth Dorchester township. I would also s~ there was no da.ffil:!,ge
,as the beans were, a, giood sample and y.d:eIlded around forty bushels
'to 'the' aca:-e. These were soya, beamsl.
I want 'to thank all CO'unty and Township Officials. and all who>
co-operated in helping with weed con1rr'ol in Ellgin County for the
