Blyth and Gentlemen: I humbly accept the honour that you have conferred on me this aIternoon and wish to express my appreciation to you for choosing me as your Warden for 1968. I recognize the responsibility of this office realizing that .it is the duty of the Head of the Council to be vigilant and active in causing the laws for the government of the municipality to be dulyexecwted and obeyed. This I will endeavour to carry out to the best of my-ability. . At this time, I would ltke to make mention of our Immed. iate Past Warden, Albert Auckland. I would ask him to accept my sincere congratulations for a job well carried out. during 19.67. Four years ago, Albert and I were new members to this Qouncil and during :bbe"e four years, I have come to hold him in high respect, regarding him as a person of high integrity and honesty. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that I accept on behalf of the Melllbers of County Council as well as the citizens of El- gin, his generous gift of this new Warden's gown. I can assure you, Albert, that I will wear it wlbh pride and I am certain that the Warden's that follow in the years to come will do the same. Please accept our sincere thanks. As we embark on our journey into 1968, we look forward to new achievements in our County. We expect to see ~he com- pletion of the Port Burwell Bridge which has been a gigantic project for our Road Department; also to the continuance of our Development Road Programme to assist in upgrading of our County Road System. It is also .expected that our Elgin Manor Committee will pro- ceed with plans to construct the 60-bed addition to the present home in order that we may meet our obligations to our senior citizens of this County. At the same ~ime, we also realize that these are years of change. Let us hope that the changes that might be made in our governing bodies will prov.e to be successful.

JOHNSON, Clerk 24 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 2:; cern over the proposed change in the administration of our edu- cation system to a County Board of Education. I will expect our Council, under the leadership of our County Education Con- sultative Committee, to make known our views on this propos'ed . change to the' Depavbment of Education at various intervals throughout the year. I would request this committee to hold their first meeting during this January Session and ,bring in a report to Council on their findings as soon as possible. This year must also see the conclusion of the dissension over the County of Elgin Planning Board. I feel that we have two choices, namely- (1) That we as a Council would he able to come forth with a recommendation for a Planning Board setup that would be acceptable to a large number of our participating Municipalities, or REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO STRIKE THE STANDING COMMITTEES January Session, 1968 (2) Failing this, to realize that it has no future and there- fore, dissolution of the Board, thus leaving the responsibility for this branch of administration in the hands of individual municipalities or groups of municipalities in particular areas of our County. Whatever the final answer is to be, it must be arrived at in the very near future. . In closing, I wish to once again thank you and trust that, with your assistance and co-operation, we can look forward to a year of progress for Our County made !,ossible by a. Council ever conr scious of the needs and problems of its' citizens.

I have been employed on a part time basis, and have not been assisted by any other irispectors, other than Mr. F. A. C. Trott of the Ontario Department of Labour. I ha"e received noltices of Construction as required by Sec- tion 15 (a) of the Act as follows: Township of Aldborough 0 Township of Dunwich 0 Township of Southwold . 74 Township of Yarmouth. 84 Township of Malahide 0 Township of Bayham 65 Township of S. Dorchester 0 Town of Aylmer 60 Village of Vienna. 0 Village of Springfield 0 Villages of Port Stanley, Belmont, Port Burwell, Dutton, West Lorne and Rodney.. 0 Major Construction projects were Ford Motor Company of Canada, Ontario Water Resources Commission Pipe Line, and uhe building of Highway No. 401 Overpasses and numerous smaller bridges. It would appe,a,r that a number of Municipalities are not complying with Section 15 (a) of the Construction Safety Act. I have made approximately 32 inspections including approxi- mately 10 to the new Ford Plant under construdion in South- wold Township. I have issued 93 orders {26 at the Ford Plant alone) for the itnprovemerrt of safety at the various sites. I have issued no Stop Work Orders as such, but have check,"d shortly afterwards to see lIJhat my orders were carried out. ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 3\1 No Charges have been laid under the Act, thus there have been no convictions. No Persons have been fatally injured on Projects within the County.

To the Chairman and Members of the St. Thomas Suburban Road Commission: ATTACHED TO MY ANNUAL REPORT to the Corrimission is a statement of Expenditures on the Commission Roads in 1967, and an ,estimate of Expenditures for 1968. ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 73 THE COMMISSION has control of 22.0 miles of Road, which is the same as in past years. 1.15 miles of this mileage (Road No. 30) is gravel, the rest is paved. In 1967 the last of the Wellington Road Debentures were paid. Thus, the full one' half Mill, approximately $20,186.00 will be available to the Commission this year. Maintenance will fuke the majority of the bUdget, as major Maintenance Work has been neglected for a number of years. Surface Treatment is necessary on at least (6) six miles. PROGRAMMING OF NEEDED CONSTRUCTION, WORK on Radio Road and St. George Street is uot possible until a definite Roube for the Sf, Thomas By-Pass and Highway No. 126 Exten- sion are designated by the City of St. Thomas, and the Ontario Department of Highways.

WEED INSPECTOR'S REPORT, 1968 To the Warden and lVIembers orthe Elgin 'County Council: The following is my Report on Weed Control in the County of Elgin for the year, 1968, , . . " Most farmers did a fair job on weed conbrol considering the amount of rainfall but, ,as usual, some did much better than others. In \Some parts of the County we had twenty-six inches of rainfall which promoted the growth of weeds, and made it difficult for the farmers to control Ibhe weeds along with their other work and the shortage of farm help, Elgin is like other Counties, having many people living on farms but working away from home and generally this is where the weeds ar,e neglected, There are many varieties of weeds the worst of which are yellow rocket, mustard, Goat's Beard, bull thistle, sow thistle and milk weed and these seem to be increasing on farms and road sides, Wild carrot is bad in some areas. These weeds can be 276 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL ELGIN COUNTY COTlNCIL 277 In closing my r'eport I wish to thank all County and ,Town. ship Officials who co-operated in helping to control the weeds in the County for 1968, and I also want to thank the Weed Inspec. tors of the Town, Villages, and Townships, Lor their co'oP~ration, All of which is respectfully submitted, inconsistent with, this by-law be, and the same are hereby repealed, 3.
