WARDEN'S ADDRESS
January Session, 1963
To All Members of the Elgin County Council,
Gentlemen:
May I convey my appreciation for your confidence in electing
me to serve .as your Warden. The duties of this office, I will
endeavour to carry OUlt wi:th dignity and dispatch. In assuming
this posiEon which has been held by many talented and highly
esteemed men, I aim fully aware of the reSlponsibilities tha't go
wi'th it. I would like to remind this Council of the very com-
mend:able and highly ef.ficient manner in which this office was
filled by my predeces,sor, Ex Warden G. D. PhiUips of Bayham.
The Three year County Road P!!'ogra,m is proving its worth.
The Dingle Street Bridge is now carryil1lg traffic. Most o~ the
'Older bridges on the County Road System have been replaced.
The WelUngton Road surfadnig is comple:ed. When Highway 401
is completed to the western limits of our County it wEl be inter-
estting to note the changes in thE:' traffic pattern.
In these times of .changin\g sociaol order, when even the value
of County OOUITcil g'overnment is be'ing queried, it is the respon-
sibility of each County Councillor t10carefully weigh his decisions
in the br,o'ad liight of continuing County progress. During my
tenure as Reeve, I have seen many c2.ipital improvements to Coun-
ty PI"operties.
The addition t'O the Oounty Jail, the New Ltbrary Building;
the establishment of the Health Unit ,in the former governor's re_
sidence, the addition to the Museum and the pre'3ent addition to
the St. Thomas-EJgin Genelral Hos~ital, all are indicative of con-
tinued progress. At present, plans for a new County home for
the A,ged have been drawn up and presented to County Council.
Out o-f the diversity of opEnion on this matter may we arrive
at a solution which will ensure a safe, comfortable retreat for
our senior citizens during the sunse,t of life.

ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL
The County equalization program is nearing completion and
'\VIe hope with it as a guide that County financing will be fairly
distrjibuted.
We canmyt deny that the economy of Elgin depends greatly
upon our agricu'HuvaI SIt abil i ty. I t is pleasing to note that the
H}62 crop of tolbaCico is moving throu.gh the auction at a reason-
,alble ra.tte. The year 1962 has seen good harvests in Elgin and I
hope that the year ahead may be crowned wilth success for the
farmers of Elgin.
We have ~n our employ, many persons who have rendered
long and v:alua!ble service to this County. In deaJing with our
employees, we should keep in mind the changing economic pa t-
te'rns. In cases where employees are contemplaltmg retirement
we should appoint ana&sistalllt to become conversant with the
duties thart; the smooth function of Oounty affairs may continue.
It is l1'OIt too early to draw your attention to the Canadian
Centennial in 1'967, that thought may be' given to the role Elgin
County will play in these celebrations.
May I bespeak your continued co-operation, 'the wise and
frJendly counSell of each of you that we riiay go.forwardto,.make
the coming year one of prQlgress for the COW1lty of EI.iih.
Moved iby Reeve Barber,
Seconded by DepUlty Reeve W oolner',

REPORT TO THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN
ROAD COMMISSION
January Session, 1963
THE ST. THlOMiAS ISiUBURC8!1\N ROAD COMMISSION has
jurisdiction over 24.0 miles oi paved and 1.15 miles of gravel Road
as of January 1st, 19i6'3.
DURING 1962 Wellington R'Oad \-vas completely rebuilt and
paved with hot mix asphalt. Expend.HJures were somewhat less
than estimated alt'hough some minor cleanup work, :;eeding of the
shoulders, e'bc., remains to be completed. !1\ plan from the Land
Surveyor is expected shortly and an am~unt to cover payment to
land owners for property acquired .for widening is included in the
a.ttached hudget.
ATTACH/ED to this report is a summary of expenditures for
Construct<ion on :the Wellington Road and :for Maintenance On an
the :Suburiban R,oads. rrhe largest items for Construction were
Granular Base and Paving. MaintenancE' costs were quite light
with the ex:ce1ption of Winter Control which, because 'Of the am.
ount 'Of sanding needed las!t winter, was much higher than an av.
erage year.
ALSO ATTAiOHEID to this report is a proposed !budget for
19'6'3. Money is estimated for the ,completian of work an the Well-
ington Road including minor grading, gravelling, the seeding 'Of
ditches, the planting 'Of trees where possible and two small utility
moving aCc.ounts along with payment for property.
:M:A!INTENANOE COSTS are expected to be a little higher
than 1916-2 !but should be considerably reduced from the' years be-
fm:e 198i2, as costly maintenance on the W-ellington Road has ,been
eliminaoted. The' small mileage of Gravel Hoad is in good condi-
tion and only normal maintenance is anticipated.
,ROAlD NUiMBER MARKElRS will be erected on all Suburban
Roads this spring in accordance with a policy approved by the
County Road Committee last year. This, togther with directional
30
ELGlN COUNTY COUNCIL
markers erected on Road intersections last spring, will be of very
valualble assistance to the motoring public.
A SMALL AlMOUNT of money is estimated for Surface Treat..
ffient Wmk .on Road 22 or 16 depending on conditions in the spring.
Other maintenance costs are expected to be similar to previous
years.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL
WEED INSPECTOR'S REPORT
November Session. 1963
To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council,
I wish to report to y.ou on weed control in Elgin County for
the year, 1963.
This was a very dry year in Elgin Oounty. The crops wert::
good on the whole, and weeds were also healthy. Weeds seem
to ,be able to absOl,b the moisture they need from the ground.
Corn was a large c:r.op in the Ooun ty, this year. There was
50,0.00 acres grown and it is estimated that 40% was sprayed with
atrazine and 25% with 2-4-D. T'here were 37,00'0 acres of spring
grain - oats and barley, mostly oats, and 50% were sprayed. Far-
mers are turning to spraying where ever it is posstble to spray.
A sprayer is becoming a ne'cessary implement on the farm today.
There should. be a lot more spraying done on pasture fields.
Some pasture fields in the County were very dirty and weedy.
County Roads were kept well mowed this summer, and al-
ound 220 milesh were sprayed. Most county roads were mowed
twice, and a few roads were mowed three times. It IS hard to
spray the C'ounty roads now that they are so wide, and in places
it is hard to mow to the fence.
Some tOWlllships do fairly well .on weed control, and some an:
falling behind. It is not safe to spray where tobacco, tomatoes,
beans, and fruit are grown, so it would be advisabl~ for every
township to own a mower, and mow where spraying can not be
done. Fall Spraying can be done on :r.oad sides after these crop::.
are harvested, and it is working out very good. Middlesex Coun-
ty is doing a lot of fall spraying and getting go.o.d results. iIt
the early summer milk weed is hard to kill with spray. The only
successful spray for milk weed is Brushkil and fuel oil.
I had a number of complaints about some township roads,
and I have had a loOt of -complaints in general. As a result of
these complain ts I was able to give out more notices this year than
I have given in any previous year.
Several properties were cut and the cost of cutting the weeds
were collected in their taxes' when the owners didn't pay. One
property owner was taken to Court.
ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL
165
The railroads as usual give problems. r.rhe weeds when cut,
are not cut until September and Octolber.
The Provincial Highways are like the railroads. They cut
weeds too late and do nO spraying.
!There is still a lot that can be done on weed control in Elgin
County, but when you drive through other Counties, we see that
they have-as many or more weeds than Elgin County.
I had one pas'ture demonstration plot sprayed during 1963,
on the famn of Robert Futcher, Fingal, west of Middlemarch. It
was badly infested with Canada Thistle. It was sprayed about
the middle of June, and the result was approximately a 90% kill.
Chipman Chemical furnished the spray 2-4-D Ester, 80 oz. of acia
to the gallon.
No crop damage by spraying was reported to me during 1963.
I want to than'k all County and Township Officials, and all
who co-'operated in helping with weed contr:ol in Elgin County
during 1963.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
CLAYBOURNE GORDON,
County Weed Inspector.
