Members of County Council, Ladies and Gentlemen. Moved by Reeve Lake Seconded by Deputy Reeve Cook Just a few short years ago I became a member of this County Council. Little did I then realize that to-day I would be your War- den of Elgin County for 1972. That we do now adjourn to meet 'again February t 6th, 1972, at 10:00 a. m. I am most grateful of the honour and confidence you have shown and given, electing me Warden. It is with pride and honour that I accept this Office. - Carried. H. L. JOHNSON Clerk J. W. HODGSON Warden I would like to thank my municipal counci I and many friends that have glvenme courage, confidence and support to seek this Of~ flee. Support really starts at home when elected to Council, Office of Reeve, County Council and finally to the Wardenship. This of- fice is sought by many good men of Elgin but held by very few through- out the years. I consider myself very fortunate to be able to serve this Council and Elgin this year. It not only honours me but also I believe the Village of Springfield. On behalf of County Council, I 'would like to thank each and everyone of you here to-day by your presence and attendance. I believe that by your attendance and interest shown that a keen int- erest still does exist in Municipal Government. In 1971 this County was blessed with a very popular and cap- abJeWarden in the person of Doug Todd. I would like to congratu- late you Doug for a job well done. You carried out the duties of Warden in a way that this County should be proud. This year 1972 is going to be a year that many, many import- ant decisions and policies will come before this Council. I believe that all committees and departments particularly County Govern- ment will have to be strong in recommendations and jUdgement, for the betterment of this county. I am sure that all municipalities will have to co-operate in the interests of this County and Area, as has been the case in years past. I believe that a strong united front is possible from County Councilanc;ltheCounciJofthe,City of 51. Thomas to keep this Coun- ty of Elgin a strong and viable unit. The potential is here, lets wiselyuseitto the fullest. We the elected of all municipalities are put here to manage, and direct the affairs put before us. Lets do it while we have that opportunity as I think it is later than we like to think. We must have strong leadership in all Departments to make this a reality. . 20 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL With four ex-Wardens, a dedicated council and a very capable staff to help guide and direct the affairs of Elgin, I can only see a a bright future ahead. In closing m,ay I once again express my deepest appreciation for the confidence given me to head this Caune! I as your Warden. With your respected and whole support, I humbly pledge mine. J. W. Hodgson. ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 21 REPORT OF. SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO STRIKE THE STANDING COMMITTEE January Session, 1972 To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council.

It also received anew collection of 3J563 hardcover and 1, 465 paperback books. Considerable interest has been shown in the local history col- lections In the branches which were begun in 1970. During the courseof1971 a Historical Association was formed at the East End of Elgin County and one was also formed at the West End -of Elgin County. Membersofthese societies are beginning to make good use 44 ELGINCQUNTY COUNCIL of the material available. Also at the West End Fanshawe College held a course on early Canadiana. Students from this course used the 10ea'J history collection. As I stated last year each branch has a collection of material so that everyone is close to a soui"'ce of lo- cal history material. "APioneer Historyof Elgin County II, ltSmlthls Canadian Gaz- etter for 184611, "East Elgin Place Names", and llMahlon Burwell 1783-184611 are a few of the titles added to the collections in the branches this last year. 1971 was a banner year for puppets.

Road Committee begs to report as follows: 1. Walmsley Brothers Limited have completed .their- Contract with,the County of Elgin except for Road #13 in Dutton which Is not yet ready. 2. SUl"'face Treatment work has been campi eted for the season. Over 535,000 gallons of prime and surface treatment material have been sprayed by the County on various municipal roads in the Coun- ty and the City of St. Thomas. 3. Work will start shortly on the extension of Road #20 (Car- low Road) in Port Stanley. 4. TheMtnistryof Transportation and Communications has ad- vised your Committee that there were approximately 200,000 vehi- c1e:niles of travel on County roads dai Iy in 1971. Approximately 12% ofthistravellson Road #25 (Wellington Road). Approximately 65% of all travel Is over mileage of road that Is not considered to need improvement in the next ten-year period.

That theSecond Draft Response to the Treasurer of Ontario re: Prospects for the Lake Erie Region, aeapy of which is attach- ed hereto, be endorsed. ALL of which is respectfully submitted. D. R. Todd - Chairman. SECOND DRAFT RESPONSE To the Treasurer of Ontario re: Prospects for The Lake Erie Region INTRODUCTION The response has been divided into five sections which at- tempt to answer the following questions - (A) What is happening to Elgin County and local munici- palitIes under present trends? (B) What is the reaction to these trends? (c) What are the Elgin-St. Thomas objectives for the future? (D) What isthealternative proposed by the County ofEI- gin and City of St. Thomas? (E) What Action is proposed at the County - City level? (A) ASSESSMENT OF TODAY'S SITUATION 0) Activity Patterns - Becauseof very accessible high speed traffic routes and a relatively unbuilt up rural area the entire pop- ulation is extremely mobile. People travel substant- ial' distances in short periods of time. - Many people migrate from St. Thomas and the County to outside areas for work, shopping, recreation q,nd ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 217 to a lesser extent, education. _ Retail establishments and recreation facilities (en- tertainment type) have not grown with increased pop- ulationand higher incomes -quality, range and ser- vice all have suffered. As an exampleJ St. Thomas' share of potential department store dollar sales from the City and surroundings has declined at least 25 percent from 19'61 to 1971 and the leakage or drift exceeds $23J 000. 00. A similar situation exists in smaller communities particularly, those in the west end of the County. _ London therefore dbrhi'nates the entir'earea as a focal point for shopping (mainly non-perishables) recrea- tion, work and higher education. (ij) Present Trends Within the County _ evidence suggests that the trend towards London is increasing. London is steadily growing southward and road I inkages to the north and to Highway 401 are improving. _ Long-range trends are still not clear but as an ex- ample: Wellingt6nRoad just north of county Road 52 experi- enced the following 24 hour traffic counts in 1972: Tuesday, April 4 - 5255 Tuesday, July 16 - 5646 WednesdaYJ Sept. 6 - 6206 Friday noon to Saturday noon volumes have exceed- ed 9,000 vehiCles per day. It is estimated that the 'work travel' portion of this flow is 70% northbound to London and 30% south to St. Thomas. Comparative shopping, recreation and edu- cation flows are considered to be at least 95% north- bound with 5 % southbound. _ communities inWest Elgin and Central Elgin Including St. Thomas are becoming more of a dormitory for peoplewho work aWay from their 'home1 municipality. ThesecommunltiesJ particularly the small hamlets are reti"ement oriented due to the lack of work possibili- ties and the absenceofsocial opportunities for young- er people. 218 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL Becauseofthe decline In commercial activity and the slow collapse of community life) the nature of villages and towns becomes less well defined and more imper- sonal - people just live there. The average housing stock in small urban communi_ ties is aging rapidly making these communities less attractive to new people. 1. labour intensive industries are not being attracted to small communities in Elgin County because: LondonandSt. Thomas offer more attractive, better serviced facilities which are often closer to major transportation corridors and accessible to a larger labour force. 2. small centres do not field aggressive business and proportion-oriented citizen groups who can attract economic development. 3. the size of these dormitory centres is insufficient to provide the tax base for the broad municipal services needed by Industry, Its employees, and their depend- ents. Provision of these services places the small community in an unfavourable taxation position to at- tract new industrial, retail, and residential growth. the dormitory-retirement function of most small cen- tres emphasizes a static or status quo condition which is not attractive to Industry and does not provide the flexibility necessary for new development. lack of consistent polley regarding rural non-farm development permits many rural areas to be In direct competition for industrial growth with small urban centres. 4. 5. Pressures seem to be Increasing on rural lands be- cause of the decline in valid reasons for town living In both largeandsmarlcommunlties. Demand for small non-farm holdings for estate purposes appears to be Increasing. .(111) Broad Reqlonal Trends Two economic trends exist which have dramatic po- tential for the County and City alike namely - the proposed large scale industrial complexes de- ELG IN COUNTY CQUNC IL 219 velopingalongthe Lake Erie Shore (Nanticoke - Do- fasco ). _ .thepossible large scale manufacturing or assembly complexes locating between London and St. Thomas close to energy and transportation corridors (Ford, Northern Electric). The first trend will probably result Inextraordinari ly high demands for urban growth along the Highway 3 cOr't"'idor east of St. Thomas and could result in an alternatives to the London pul I. However, dormitory pressures will Increase with parallel retail service growth. Pressure for non-farm rural development will" also accelerate. The second trend Is already in evidence and is a con- tributing factor to the London-St. Thomas corridor. Industrial growth lnthis general area will result In a greater dormitory role for small urban communities within 35 minute driving range. Consequently, pres- sure for this type of development will exist mainly in the more accessible west and central sections of the County with the trend lessening towards the east. (B) CITIZEN REACTION TO THESE TRENDS People are concerned that decline in hamlets, towns and vil- lages will directly affect their property values. Retail- service business declines will lower income returns, and In some cases eliminate employment entirely in these smaller communities. Peoplewantthesmallercommunity to remain but with a cer- tainamountofgrowthbelngdirected towards them to.support and strengthen the tax base and to create more viable commu- nities. Long established and incorporated communities such as Dut- ton, West Lorne and Rodney are all r'ecognlzed as having Ideal populations of2, 000- approximately 800 to' 1, ,000 above CUr'r'ent levels. TheCity is concerned with the work and non-work orienta- tion towards London and the tendency for governmental es- tabl i shments wh ich are more proper I y of a local concern being Increasingly located in London. St. Thomas wants to be able to provide a full range of work opportunities, retail services, educational and recreational 220 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL fad I ities, and residential choices for it~ citizens. The City does not wish to be regarded as a subut'--b of a larger urban I area. The County and City support the position that the agricultur- al industry must continue to be the dominant acitivity in ru- ral areas. Peop] eare concerned that major economic decisions ar-e made without any prior] iaison with local officials) and in some in- stances contrary to the long-range objectives of local gov- ernments. They are concerned with the remoteness of de- cision-making bodies and their personal and col Jective ina- bility to guide and influence senior government in matters affecting the County. (c) ELGIN-ST. THOMAS OBJECTIVES FOR THE FUTURE Elgin County and St. Thomas do not want further central iz- zation. of industrY -and90vernment in the London area. Al- though redistribution of assessment over a broader area may I essen the taxation impact upon residential land, especially dormitory communities, it is local opinion that employment opportunities must exist in scattered but selected growth communities, if these areas are to continue as viable units. The Provincial Government must therefore establish a poli- cy which directs employment generators into selected com- munities thus permitting control led dispersal of growth. Theconsiderationwhichdetermine the location of industrial residential and other non-farm development in rural areas do not necessarily take into account good agricultural lands nor do they take into account operating farm establ ishments. Future planninq of the County will therefore recoanize that the countryside must be planned for aqr-icultura] Operations and non-farm establ ishments wi II be located mainly in urban areas where necessarY services exist. Rural non-farm de- velopment, which does occur should be compatibl e with farm- ing_and, when permitted in agricultural areas, development policies must identify and control potential sites. Transportation Iinkaqes between urban areas identified for growth will be kept free 0" strip develooment so that the ac- cessibility of these communities is maintained. Considerable speculation has existed, mostly created by outside municipalities, that the eastern part of Elgin Coun- ty, in particular BayhamTownship, actively wished to leave the County unit. This l,11ove is strongly opposed by other members of the County, and also by the Township Council ELGIN COUNTY CQUNC IL 221 and area residents, who have recently indicated an almost unanimous wish to remain with Elgin County. (0) AL TERNATIVEPROPOSEO FOR THE COUNTY OF ELGIN AND THE CITY OF ST. THOMAS. _ the alternative preferred by the County and the City is Example 1IIIlDecentralized Developmentll with modifications. _ growth occurs only _-in communities_ capable of providing basic servicing standards,l. e. water and sewage faci lities. _ industrial growth be permi'tted in controlled and fully ser- viced strategic locations between St. Thomas and London and along the Lake Erie Shore so that large-scale employ- ment generators are accessible for a maxImum num,ber of citizens. _ smaller scale secondary industries be encouraged to lo- cate in selected growth communities. (E) PROPOSED ACTION AT THE COUNTY-CITY LEVEL Widespread agreement exists that lower tier governments must be strengthened. This process, via the route of local initiative is often slow, but it is felt that extreme develop- ment pressures do not currently exist In Elgin County and for this reason local communities should be allowed an op- portunityto demonstrate this ability. Three area relation- ships at the lower tier are recognized which may serve as future area municipalities: West EI gin Aldborough Dunwich Dutton Rodney West Lorne Central Elgin Belmont Port Stanley Southwold St. Thomas Yarmouth East Elgin Aylmer Bayham Malahide Port Burwell South Dorchester Springfield Vienna 222 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL The first two areas are now gathered together into an area planningrelationshipand it is hoped the latter will be with- in the next month. Of these three units, it is felt that West Elgin is the farthest advanced in achieving agreement on ser- vice sharing and in all probability could look. forward to, un-. ion within five years. Central Elgin, because of growth pressures about the City, and the Lake Erie Water Supply System, is. equally advanced ih the field of service sharing but due to differences in opinion over development priorities is less' likely to see an early union. A more probably de- velopment will be the establishment of service-areas about the City and the achieving of agreement on future growth points. East Elgin currently is composed of historically separate communities and identification as an area unit results from deduction of the West and Central portions of the County. However, it is well recognized that if Lakeshore develop- ment on the Dofasco site advances, an area municipality wouldbe the only basis upon whIch local people could exert InTluenCe ana Tor [nlS rea~on support I~ wluespreaa. LocAL FUNCTIONS Reinforced and expanded local municipalities should be con- cerned with the following functions: - Water supply and distribution - sewage collection and treatment drainage housing standards local roads &- streets, sidewalks, lighting recreation - community centres and arenas pol ice and fire local planning and zoning LOCAL - COUNTY FUNCTIONS Atahigherlevel, functions exist which can best be perform- ed by a combination of the local municipal ity and the County. These are as follows: - welfare - health - waste collection and disposal ELG IN. COUNTY COUNC IL 223 LOCAL PROVINCE FUNCTIONS Two functions exist which require a combination of local and a much broader regional or provincial planning namely: environmental controls industrial - commercial growth PROVINCIAL FUNCTIONS Widespread agreement exists that the upper tier-provincial or broad region should be. concerned with a series of func- tions for which pol itical representations from the County and City is essential. - economic development - broad transportation planning - assessment - employment - housing supply - Regional Parks and Recreation - Lake Erie Shoreline Development Control 224 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL EDUCATIONl\.L COMMITTEE REPORT October Session, 1972 To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council, The Educational Committee reports as follows: 1.

WEED INSPECTOR AND TREE COMMISSIONERIS REPORT December Session, 1972 To the Warden and Members of the Elgin County Council, I wish to report on weed control and forest protectIon in the County of Elgin for the year 1972. With respect to weeds it was a very trying year for many farmers in the County due to the late spring and then the killing frost in June. Manyof the crops had to be repl anted especially beans and tobacco, corn Crops were severely damaged in some districts. Most crops were sprayed for weeds and grass but on some farms the results were poor due to adverse weather conditions. 290 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL 291 Wild carrot, sow thistles and ragweed were widespread throughout the County and caused a problem for farmers and al so for the crews cutting the weeds on the roadsides. ROAD COMMITTEE REPORT December Session, 1972 All road departments were kept busy mowing to keep these weeds under control especial I y in areas where they coul d not spray because certain crops would be endangered and I am of the opinion that the Provincial, County andTownship crewsshouJ d be ccimmend- edfortheirefforts in trying to control the weeds on our' road allow- ances. To the Warden and Members of,the Elgin County Council, 1. That construction of the new garage is underway by coun- ty personnel. 2. The Engineer has been authoriz'ed io makeappl icationf6r Winterworks Projects to the Provincial Government to utilize the $19,200 allocated by the Province to the County. Thereweremanycomplaints from people regarding weeds on neighboring property but most of these were vacant lots or farms that were idle. It was necessary tocut the weeds on several of these properties but most of the accounts were paid by the' owners when they were presented to them and very few had to be paid for by the municipality. In general 1 found the people very nice to get along with. WE RECOMMEND: (1) That a By-Law be passed confirming By-Law 1775 of the Township of Bayhamto stop up, close and sell a road allowance be- tween Lots #12 and #13 Registered Plan Number 22 in the hamlet of Richmond. As most of the Towns and Villages have their own weed inspectors I had very few carls to make to these municipalities but 1 am sure they had no particular problems. (2) That a By-Law be passed prohibiting parking on County Road #21 (Warren Street) ,in the Village of Port Stanley on the north side of the street within eighty seven (87) feet of the west limit of King1s-HighwayNo. 4, and on the south side of the street within two hundred and forty-three (243) feet of the west I imit of K ing1s High- way No.4. I'll r III I' II' In closing my report on weed control I wish to thank all CountyandTownshipofficialsand also all weed inspectors for their co-operation in helping to control the weeds in our County. AsCountyofElginTree Commissioner 1 wish to report on some of the activities carried out during the past year. (3) That a By-Law be passed authorizing the Warden and Clerk to sign an agreement with the Township of Bayham for the laying of water pipe I ines on county roads. !III There were nine permits issued for a total of thirteen acres of land to be cleared, one permit for two acres was renewed and two others for twenty five acres were refused. One perm it to clear five acres and replant the same amount in a different area was issu- ed. There were also many requests to clear land which were re- fused. There were two convictions for cutting timber below legal size contrary to the Elgin County Tree by-law and al so several warn- ings were issued. C. Morrison - Chairman. (This agreement w ill be sim il ar to the agreements between the County and a number of other local municipalIties). ALL of which is respectfully submitted. I waul d like to thank the officials and staff of the Depart- ment of Lands and Forests In Aylmer who have been so helpful and co-operative to me and with whom I have worked very closely in trying to improve and preserve the woodlots in our County for fut- ure generations. ALL of which Isrespectfu\\y submitted.
