I intend to do my very best to 'fulfil the heavy duties of this office and to' Work for the best interests of our county and all its citizens. I congratulate Past Warden Hodgson for having led uS through 1972 in a very successful way and I extend the thanks of this council to him for his diligent and thoughtful attention to the county's busi- ness. To all past wardens, members of councils and guests who are with us to-day, I extend a war:m welcome. I am sure the council ap- preciates your cOntinuing interest in the affairs of the county. 1972 being a year for municipal elections, we have a number of changes in the personnel of County Council. Regretfully, we note that Reeves Mary Blyth, Colin Morrison,. . LaWrence. McIntyre; .Tom Ro~ berts and Stan Speers and Deputy Reeves Tony Csinos and Elison Randall are no longer with us. However, we realize change is a part of the nature .of government and (he thanks of this council are extend- ed to these past members for their contribution and service to Elgin. As we say farewell to some, we welcome ail:r' new members in the persons of Reeves Charlie Bates and John Nelnett and Deputy Reeves Gary Monteith, Gordon Pettit, Mat Schafer, Douglas Simpson, Stuart MoB"i'm and Cliff Young. The iProvincial Government program- for re-structurfng mmiicipal governments is of concern to all of us and while we realize changes need to occur, these changes. Inost be carefully examined so that they benefit everyone bnt do not lose some of the historical and traditional assets. we have enjoyed over the years in our county. The contribu- tion made by the City-County Committee on local government and its thoughtfUI and' well prepared response to the provincial paper on pros- pects, fOr the Erie region has been very helpfUl. I am sure the city 'ELGIN COUNTY COUNOIl, 25 and the county will continue to work together so that whatever changes do occur will be of real benefit to our people. Land has been purchased by the county for another "Manor" at Aylmer and I hope this project can move ahead in 1973 so that the needs of citizens for this type of care in the eastern part of the county can be fairly met. No doubt we will !have our problems in 1973 as we have had in the past - rising costs, inflation and the constant hattle to keep. taxation in line with incomes in rural areas is a real challenge to all of us. However, with your help and a uulted approach to the issues I feel confident we can carryon the business of the county in a way which will benefit all citizens. Again,'1 thank you. for the honor you have given me and the con' fidence you have placed in me. Together, we can go forward to meet the challenges of 1973. 26' ELGLN COuNTY OOUNCIL RE)PORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE TO STRIKE THE STANDING COll'llVnTTEES January Session; 1973 To the Warden and Members 01 tile Elgin Connty Council, The fbllowing is ilie report olthe Special Committee to strike tlieShuidirig'Coml11ilfeesfor the year 1973: ~dRIObLTURkL - Lyle, McKillop, Caverly; Dennis, Cook, Wilson and Warden Johnston.

Buck, Elgin County Agricultural Representative) I am pleased to have the opportunity to meet wIth you formally for the first time siuce commenciug W<lrk here on June 1st, 1972. Duriug my years of employmeut with the O.M.A.F., ,I had ofteu heard Vie Laugtou expouud ou the great couuty of Elgiu aud the con- tribution made to the agricultural economy of Ontario hy the 2,500 farms iu thecouuty. It is my impressiou that Vie Langton had .much to hoast ahout and that he was rightfully proud of the people and the agricultural production of the farmlands of Elgin. So that you might he up to date on agricultural facts and figures for 'Elgin Couuty, I have provided each of you with the information updated from the census of Cauada, 1971. There are a few items which I would draw to your atteution. These items are part of a long term trend. 1. A slight increase iu the size of farms. 2. A higher nurhher of farms reporting agricultural sales of $25,000 per year and over. 3. The acreage of ,corn continues to increase; oat acreage is de'. creasing. Acres of other crops tend to fluctuate up aud dowu WIth the market. 4. The uumber of dairy farms contiuues to decrease, although dairy cattle numbers are relatively static. A copy of the financial statement for the Elgin Agricultural Com- mittee is hefore you. This statemeut has been audited, and reviewed by a sub-committee of your couucil on Tuesday morning of this week. I am impressed aud pleased with the great finaucial support you give to agriculturalorgauizations and activities in Elgin County. One of the things which is particularly pleasiug is the work of the 4-H Agricultural Cluh Leaders. These men, 45 in uumber, with a little help and directiou from our .office, and financial help from County Council, carry much of the respousibility .of a strong 4-H Club pro- gram,. The involvement of local. people goes a long way to insuring the success .01 a community pr.ogram like 4-H. 34 -EW'IN OOUNTY OOUNCIL ELGIN OOtlNTYCOUiNOIL 35 ELGIN AGRICULTUMLCOMMITTEE You will be interes.ted to k.now that approximately 200 young people are participating in the 4-H Agricultural Club program, and nearly 500 in '4"H Homemaking Clubs.

'ELmN COUNTY OOUNOIL 53 ELGIN COUNTY LIBRARY REPORT - 1972 Mr. Chairman, Warden Johnston and Members of the Education Committee: in 1972 the County Library circulated 141,355 books, 3,824 maga- zines and 717 filmstrips. We made 72 stops to branch libraries on the regular delivery schedule and delivered 17,175 books. In addition to this we did 1,702 reference questions, 700 telephone calls and 122 interlibrary loans. These ,statistics !"lint up, a basic change which is occurlng in the system. The Library is no longer concerned mainly in buying and lending books. Even though we purchased and processed 15,000 books In 1972 the majority of the work involved locating aud mailing books and in- formation requested by individU!l!1 people at the branches. Because the total collection is now 104,000 volumes, which is up from 50,000 in 1968, and the average branch has under 10,000 volumes, the chances of a specific book which ,a person in Bort Burwell re- quests being in Port Burwell library are low. Therefore, the branch librarian sends a request for the material into the main bmnch. If it is a book, it is probably in the Rodney Library. We contact Rodney and they send the book to us,. and we send it to Port Burwell. If the material is needed in a hurry we do all this by telephone. Most requests are not for specific books by title. They come in the form ofa question about the Expropriation Act, or for a drawing of how the locks on the Weiland Canal System work, or a ,consumer comparison of electric outboard motors versus, gas. This is different from ten years -ago when the average person go- ing into a library just wanted a good book to read. In ,the branch development area, Vienna was supplied with new furniture, new shelving, both hardcover and paperback, and a cOm- plete new collection of 1,377 hardcover and 3,809 paperback. Port 54 ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL Stanley got a new desk, new taJbleand new chairs. WestLorne got new desk and cbairs. Shedden, Rodney, Port Burwell, Belmont and Straffordville' got more paperback racks. Springfield got a new table and chairs. The library deposits in the senior citizens home are going well with healthy increases. fn addition to Elgin IManor and the Bobier Home we have received .a request for service from the Sunnyside Nursing Home in Aylmer and began giving, them material in J anu- ary. The local history project continued with the reprinting of Biogra- phical Sketches of some of the Residents of Elgin County and a His- tory of the Lindsay .Family. This is a very popular program and the library has received considerable praise for it. Those are tbe highlights of 1972. At this time I would like, to thank the County Council Members for their interest and support in 1972. Both Committees and individ- ual C01jnty Councillors have contributed, greatly to the library and I appreciate their support. At ,this time I would like to thank personally last y~ars Board Chairman, Mr. Cook, and last years Warden, Mr. ijodgson. 1 would also like to thank the members of the locai committees who are our liaison witb their communities and our branch staff who worked faithfully during 1972. You have before you the financIal statement for 1972 and the bud- get for 1973. Thank you.

JOHNSTON, Warden 94 ElLGJN COUN'l'Y COUNCIL COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD CO~fMITTEE REPORT March Session, 1973 To the Warden and Memhers of the Elgin County Council, Your Road Committee begs to report as follows: 1. That the surface treatment, surface on Road No. 40 between High- way No. 3 and Mount Salem has failed for about 2/3 of the total dis- tance and it will be necessary to place a hot mix asphait surface over the eutire distance from Highway No. 3 to Mount Salem. Spring breakup appears to be more extensive than for a number of years. 2. The County By.Law passed in September of 1972 to Regulate the Speed of Vehicles on County Roads has beeu appr.oved hythe Minis- try of Tmnsportationand Communications, and the erection of the necessary signs is underway. 3. We have received notice from the Ministry of Transp.ortation and Communications tJhat the expenditure level subsidizable by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications in 1973 will be $1,- 616,000. The Ministry of Tr.ansportation and Communications has in- troduceda single suhsidy rate to cover Roads, Bridges and Direct (Development Roads). '(.Except for Urban Rebates which remain at 50%). On the expenditure level of $1,616,VOO, tJhe Ministry of Trans- portationand Oommunications will pravide subsidy of $1,077,000. Al- though the subsidy is on a sliding scaletJhe effective subsidy rate is approximately 66.6%. Any expenditure over $1,616,000 must be met entirely with County funds. WE REOOMMEND: 1. That a By-Law be passed, authorizing the Warden and Clerk to sign an agreement with the Village of Vienna for tJhe laying of Water Pipe Lines on County Roads. This agreement will be similar to the agreements hetween the County and a number of local municipalities. ElLGrN COUNTY -COUNCIL 95 2. That the budget of the St. Thomas Suburban Roads Commission for 1973 amounting to $40,0300 be approved. Included in the C.ommis- sion's budget is $7,000 for land purchase, surveying and fencing on Road No. 30 for construction work in future years. The remainder of the budget is for maintenauce of the system (1S miles). The Commis- siou proposed to use 1973 as the year to reduce its deficit with regard to the contribution from the City of Sl. Thomas and enter 1974 with a small surplus so that some construction. may be undertaken. 3. That the rebate to urban municipalities be 25% of their Road Levy for 1973. 4. That the levy for Couuty Roads for 1973 be '$540,000. This com- pares to a road levy of $685,000 iu 1972 and an .aciual expenditure of approximately $707,250. 5.
