WARDEN'S ADDRESS
January Session, 1962
Ta A<ll Members of the EI-gin Caunty Cauncil,
Gentlemen:
The hanaur which yau as memhers of Caunty Oauncil have
just Iconferred on me is great'ly appreciated. .
I realize fuLly thalt the pasitian carries with it certain res-
pansibilities, and I wHl try ta discharge these ta the best of my
ability.
W,e 'hav,e just icampietedJ a mast suceessful year, and I fe,el
we awe much trO Past 'Warden Burgess whase leadership has had
a mm'ked bearing an our suceess.
It is inde,ed ,a pleasure to' weleome back the vet,erans of
OaullIty Cauncil, and a s'PelCial wekome to our five new members
whase fresh appraach 'combined with the experienee1s of the n}der
members wiLL again enSUiI',e an ather year of progress.
'The WOI'11d 'ee-anomie situatian showed signs of recavery and
grawt'h in 19161, and the tifend is exped'ed ta cantinue in 1962.
Weather conditions heing favaura:ble, agriculture shauld have a
prasperaus yrear and should improve all aspeds af aur ecO'namy.
Our County RaadJ Syst,em wa,s revised in 1961 giving it stab-
ility and oantinutty.
The 1961 Raads Committee should be commended f.or their
efforts, and 1t is my desire that further extensians and deletians
shauld be can1ed out when fuHy warranted.
One of the highlights af 1961, was the apening of the Wards-
vUle Bridge .of whieh the Caunties af M}ddlesex, and Elgin can
be rightfully proud.
The past year has seen the campietian of the new Elgin
Caunty Library, and a spe,cial thanks ta the cammittee whose
efforts made its comp'letion on recard time.

ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL
fiom Itim.e to time, various authorities give their opinions as
to the value -of 'County Council. I ,believe Municipal Government
has just ,as integral a part to p,lay in a 'democracy as have the
Provincial and National Levels of authority, the direct rellation-
ship with the people gives tihem a gDeater sense o;f participation
in public affaia:'s.
Next year wHl pr,e,sent itis prohlems and difficllities of this
I am eertain with your SUPPOl"it and co-operation I am equal'ly
certain that among us we will solve these problems and sur-
mount the difficuLties.
~
rSince our last Session, the County of \Eagin and the Town-
ship of Bayham has lost a valued citiz.en in Charles Jackson, who
w.as Warden of the County in 1951. I would ask you to ris'e with
me and pay rt;ribut'e to his memory.
Gentlemen, once again my isincere thanks for your confi.
denee and be assured t,halt I wiN do everything possible to deserve
it.
Moved by Reeve Barher,

THE ST. THOM!AS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMliS!S'l'ON has

, ATTAJCHED lis la summation olf expend1ture.s in 19<51. The
yealr 1961 was one of maiintenanrc'e designed to put the Suburban
'Ho.ad ~OIther than the We]lingJton Road) into. a leondiUon so that
further ,eoisHymaintenance wHl not he requir,ed for some years.
Majo.r repairs Ito :pav,ements wer,e made ,on Road 30 a'nd to a
lesse,r ,extent on ;Ro,ad 22. Surfalee Treatment was done on Road
30 throughout and on a portion of Roald 16 and Ro.ad 2'2. Gra,ve[
was ,applied on the grlavel portion of Raad30.
A CONSIDERJAiBLE a'illount of ditching was done on Road 16
and .the slhoulders repaired in the V,i!llage of Finga:1. Wint,er
Maintenance wa's somewhat ie,ss than av,erage. Ma,terial Wlas
pUI'lchased :for f.encing ,and so.me grave,l obtained for future use

sively repaired and :painted. This Hridg,e shoui1d oa1rry lJig'ht
loads for a numlher of years wtthout major work. The raHings
of Ithe Fingal and Dodds Creek IBridg,e were p,ainted also.
iCONSllRUCTION in 1961consist'ed of work .on the Welfling-
ton Road inc'luding Ithe ,insta:11atlion of a Mwlti-Plaite CulV'elit nOlI"th
of the Lynhurst Schoul and the gr'ading and gravelling of t~e
Road from t1he Bostwick :Road to. ,bhe Edgewa.r,e Road. Fencing is
still 'being ,carried on as of January 5th and it is hoped to. com-
p;le<te mast of this work he,folie the spring clearing is virtuaHy
c,ompleted.
A P A YlMENT :for the ,Reid Propeflty a!cquired 10[" the New

A CONi8TRJUGTION PLAN for the r.eeo.nsitruction Off the We[-
lingt.on Road has been tentatively approv,ed by the Ontario De-
partment o.f Highways and will he' submitted f.or f'orma'~ approval
wiit'hin a mont'h.
THE ATTAGHErDesbimates provide $20,000.00 ~oJ." !Road
Mainbenanee .on the entire Suburban Roads 'Sysrtem plus a nom-
inal amount of Bridg,es and Culverts Maintenance.
THE AMOUNT of $20,000.00 :for 'Roads win provide adequate
maintenance fOlr the Suburban 'Roads las no major maintenance
expenditur1es are an:ticip,ated.
'THE G0N1ST1RUCTION estimat,es provide for !the completion,
induddng paving, of the iW'e:11ing,ton Road north to the Mlidd[esex
County Line Ifrom IVhe Bostwkk Road. In the light .of our exper.-
ienoe in 19:61 in 'grading 'from the Bosbwick t.o the Edgeware
Ro.ads, sOIme a!mounts Ihav,e been adjusted .over our originall eSltim-
ates wIDch were of a pr,elliminary na,ture. I believe that estim-
ates ar,e high enough to provide Ifor any oontingency that may be
met, 'Other ithana major revision of plans,ek. The tender for
Asphalt Pa'vemenJt !may of rCiourse 'change :the estimate. We w~l1
find in aill prohahiliity that !the amount to. be dehent ured will be
so,mewhat Ile83 tihan $10.0,000.00 {$50,OOO.00 City portion and ($50,-
000.00 County por:tton).
I BELIE,ViE Ithat grading slhould he started as soo.n as p'Ossib~e
in {!he ,spring iRnd Aspha:1Jt P,aYing T-end,ers caned a-s sroon as it can
be ,debermined when a Gontralct,or eould stant paving so that the
Road is not in a grave'l Icondfution any longer :than necessary.
If the majority of the work ,couild he finished before Sept,ember
1st, an interim suhsidy [rom the Ontario Depar,tment of High-
ways payrment would lessen ,the ,Clost to the County of horrmving
money 1)o.r .the work ullltH dehentures can be issued.
All of whic'h is r.es:pedfully submitled.

WEED INSPECTOR'S REPORT
November Session, 1962
To the Warden, and Members of the Elgin County Council,
I wish to report to you on the Elgin County Weed Control
Program during 1962.
In the months of January and February, there is very little
a Weed Inspector can do re Weed Control. In March and April,
there are some County Meetings to attend, and inspection of seed
cleaning plants re the screening of weeds and the various kinds
of weed seed.
There are farmers in the County who draw these screenings
home, and spread them around the barn; some let the cattle and
pigs eat the screenings and weed seeds. They are seeding their
own farms with these weed seeds and many farmers draw them
with an uncovered truck, and with the speed of the truck and
the wind bowing, seed the road sides.
The Weed Act states that anyone trucking these screenings,
are supposed to have the truck covered. It is amazing the num-
ber of farmers who draw screenings to their farms.
A Seed Drill Survey was conducted in Elgin County last
spring. I picked up 53 samples throughout the County. There
is still improvement to be made in the seed grain that is sown by
some farmers.
I think roadside spraying should be done earlier in the year
in some of the townships where tobacco and vegetable crops are
grown, and spraying cannot be done. The townships do more
mowing, some township roads are quite weedy. Milk-weed is
hard to control by spraying, but if spraying is done, no mowing
should be done for three weeks after the spraying is completed.
The townships that spray the county roads are late in get-
ting the county roads sprayed, if they are late in getting started
at spraying the township roads. Early spraying seems to give
the best results before the grass on the roadsides grows too high.
I advise as many farmers as I can on their spraying, and if
it is impossible for me to help them, I get the District Inspector,
132
ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL
or someone from the Ridgetown Agricultural School. These
fieldmen are always ready to help you.
There was little improvement on the Provincial Highways
this year in Elgin County. The mowers should have been out a
month sooner than they were, and there is a shortage of mowers.
The County Roads are fairly clean-200 miles were sprayed
and 263 miles along with the suburban roads were sprayed and
mowed.
The Township Roads are fairly clean, except in areas where
milk-weed is real bad and the places that are not sprayed. These
roadsides should be sprayed in the fall. Middlesex County has
completed a great deal of fall spraying this fall, spraying as late
as October.
Railroads give the usual problems-not wanting to do any-
thing about their weeds, and when anything is done with the
control of the weeds, it is always la.te.
There is a lot of work getting the sub-divisions mowed and
cleaned up. I have received many complaints, and the only
thing I can do is to hire some one to mow the weeds, and if the
owners don't pay, collect the cost of cutting the weeds in their
taxes.
There was a little improvement at the Yarmouth Centre Air-
port this year, but a lot more can be done on weed control and
cleaning the place up. The farm land is getting quite dirty.
The Towns and Villages do very well on weed control and
don't give me too much trouble. They all seem to have Weed
Inspectors who have an interest in seeing that the weeds are
cut.
There are far too many people who live on a farm and work
away from home and these farms in most cases are dirty. These
farmes are the ones that I have worked with mostly this year,
and there seems to be more of them each year. It was very
noticeable in West Elgin as quite a few people did very little
farming, and 'yJlorked on High'ATay 401.
.;!
I am starting to have complaints about weeds in municipal
drains. The Weed Act states if you have complaints, the Weed
ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL
13'3
Inspector, Village, Town, or Township Inspector or County In-
spector can have them cut, or sprayed and the cost levied against
the drain.
I had about sixty rods on the Hunt Drain along the Elgin-
Middlesex County line where the drain is moved off the road,
and the weeds cut this year, and levied the cost to the drain.
There was about the same mileage of roads sprayed in 1962.
County and township roads around 1,000 miles and farm crop
spraying was increased a few thousand acres. More grain, corn,
pasture fields, and pasture farms are being sprayed each year.
We had the same four pasture Demonstration Plots sprayed
this year. All these plots looked practically weed free so no
further demonstration will be necessary.
No crop damage by spraying was reported to me, this year.
I want to thank all County and Township Officials, and all
who co-operated in any way re Weed Control in Elgin County,
this year.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

County Weed Inspector ~

ELGIN MANOR COMMITTEE
November Session, 1962
Second Report
To the Warden, and Members of the Elgin County Council,
The Elgin Manor Committee reports as follows:
Following the resolution passed at the September Session
of County Council to build a new County Home for the Aged, the
Committee visited Mr. Drew, Director of Homes for the Aged.
After a full discussion, the Committee unanmiously decided
to hire the Engineering firm of G. Duncan Black & Associates
and J. Fred Green, Architect, to draw preliminary plans and
cost estimates for presentation at this Session of County Council.
After visiting several new Homes in Counties comparable
in size to Elgin, it was agreed the most economical would be a
90 bed Horne which would contain services for 135 at an approxi~
mate cost of $670.000.00.
The Home would be a one floor Plan with maximum allow-
ance for flexibility.
The Plans to be presented are recommended by the Com-
mittee, and approved by the Dept. of Public Welfare, and the
Fire Marshal.
We now present Mr. Black and Mr. Green to explain the
Plans.
(Report not Approved).
All of which is respectfully submitted.
RUSSEL McKIBBIN, Chairman.
