COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITtEE
FIRST REPORT - JULY SESSION, 1976
To the Warden and ,Members 'Of the ELgin County Council,
Y aur committee begs to' report as fallows -
1. That the sale of a portion of Lot 7 Concession V, 2authwold to
Hugo and Donna Keusch was defaulted by Mr. Keusch and his
down payment was. kept by the Caunty as damages sustained.
2. That the quotation of ArmcO' Canada Ltd. at $120,628 for material
and supervision of erection for the Kettle Creek culverts on Road
52 has been accepted. In addition sheet piling at an estimated cost
of $5,000 will be supplied and Armco Engineers will supervise the
backfilling of the culvert at a per diem rate. The 2 culverts are of
50 foot span on concrete footings and 90 feet long with bin type
retaining wing walls.. The St. Thomas reservoir is presently being
lowered to allaw excavation for diversion of Kettle Creek and
excavation for faotings. From 12 to 15 feet af soft earth may have
to be removed from the Creek Bed for the footings and for the
earth embankment. The difficulty of removal of this soft earth will
determine when actual erection of the culverts can start.
WE RECOMMEND -
(1) That By-Law 2413 being a By-Law to sell a portIOn of Lot 7, Con-
cession V, Southwold, to HugO' and Donna Keusch be rescinded.
(2) That a By-Law be passed authorizing the Warden and Clerk to
sign a: Deed for a Portion of Lot 20 Registered Plan 63 Dutton as
shown an Reference Plan llR-986 as Part No.7 to Mrs. Gladys
Graham. This will complete a transaction in which the County
acquired some of Mrs. Graham's property for the diversion of
Raad 8 in Dutton in 1975.
(3) That a By-Law be passed authorizing the Warden and Clerk to
sign an Agreement with Danald and Rose Marie Whitney for the
jaint development of their property in Lat 24, Concession V, Yar-
mouth and the adjacent County property in Lot 25, Concession V,
Yarmouth as a Sand and Gravel Pit under the Pits and Quarries
Control Act 1971. The Agveement will allow the sand and gravel
to be excavated to the property line rather than the 50 foot set
back ordinarily required by the Act.
ALL .of which is respectfully submitted.

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
DECEl\IBER SESSION, 1976
FIRST REPORT
To the Warden and Members 'Of the County of Elgin Council:
Y QUI' Road Committee Reports as follows:
1. The Culverts on Road 52 over Kettle Creek have been backfilled
2nd the Creek has been diverted through the culverts. Earthmoving
and dragline work is continuing as weather conditions permit.
2. We have received a request from the Elgin County Board of Edu-
catiQn requesting that the speed limit 'On county rQads be reduced from
60 miles per hour to 50 miles per hour. There is a sizeable CQst 'Of
changing signs on 160 miles of 60 miles per hour which would have to
be duplicated in September of 1977 when all speed signs in the Pro.
vince are scheduled tQ be changed tQ metric units. In an effQrt tQ eli-
minate this duplieation of costs the Minister of Transportation and
Communications has been contacted to determine if a change to metric
signing in the Spring 'Of 1977 would be feasible.
WE RECOMMEND:
That the Resolution of the County of LambtQn be endorsed. The Reso-
lution requested the Minister of Attorney-General to introduce heavier
court penalties for stealing or damaging rQad signs. Your Committee
also believes that heavier penalties for the possession of stQlen signs
should be imposed.
ALL of which is respectfully submitted.

WEED INSPECTOR'S REPORT
December Session, 1976
I have had several meetings with Railway officials Qver weeds on
their property. But as they operate under the Railway Act of the
1800's they have many advantages over our modern weed act. How-
ever, I have had some cooperation from them, and they have cleaned
up many areas in the CQunty and I also. have a commitment from
them to. do. much mQre this cQming year.
To. the Warden and Members Qf the Elgin County Co.uncil:
I wish to. repo.rt on weed contrQI in the CQunty of Elgin fo.r year
1976.
It has . been a very difficult year for the farmers in the Co.unty
due to the erattic changes in the weather patterns this year.
The complaints over noxious weeds on neighbouring pro.perty re-
mains abo.ut the same as previous years. The bills for lots Qrdered cut
were paid by the Qwners when presented to. them and posed no pro-
blem for anyone.
Bean growers seemed tOl be in. the mQst difficult positiQn as many
fields of beans were completely floQded Qut while Qthers were dam-
aged in low' areas. They also had poor results from their spray prQ-
gram due to. weather conditiQns.
In clQsing my report" I would like to. thank all County and TQwn-
ship Officials, Road Crews and other Weed InspectQrs.
CQrn and tobacco. growers have had reasQnably good crops but
yields per acre will likely be down below previous years. The one
bright SPo.t has been the alfalfa and clQver crop which was excellent
thrQughQut the CQunty.
~,), i
A special thanks to. the Qffice staff at the Oounty Municipal Build-
ing also. Township Clerks and their staff for the help and cOQperatiQn
they have given me thrQughout the year.
ALL Qf which is respectfully submitted.
Different methods Qf contrQlling weeds on rQad allQwances were
tried this year and in SQme areas were not very successful.
JACKSON BAKER, CQunty Weed InspectQr .
The Townships of Bayham, Southwold and Dunwich continued to.
spray their roadsides as usual and did some mowing later Qn and the
roadsides had. a good appearance throughQut the year.
PROPERTY COMMITTEE REPORT
December Session, 1976
Aldborough sprayed part Qf the township and mo.wed the rest and
it Was very easy to. detect the spraye~ areas.
Yarmouth mQwed their roadsides and did a very good job except
in areas where a tractor and mower could not operate.
To. the Warden and Members Qf the Elgin County Council,
The PrQperty Committee reports as follows:
1. That the letter from the Ministry of Government Services re: ad-
justment Qf shared agreement be accepted and filed.
Malqhide and. SQuth Dorchester did a very pOQr job of mowing
the roadsides in their tQwnships and they had a very PQor appearance
thrQughout the summer.
2. That the Ministry of CQrrectional Services be advised to. leave the
equipment Qwned by the County in the jail when they vacate the prem-
ises.
CQunty rQads and provincial highways were all mQwed by early
fall and looked good, but during early summer many nQxious weeds
grew up and went to. seed befDre they were mDwed. There also were
many areas that could nDt be mDwed because of ditches and these
areas did not have anything done to destroy the weeds and had a very
bad appearance.
3. That we recDmmend that the plaque presented to. the County by
the 4H Clubs Df Elgin be hung on the sDuth wall in the waiting area Df
the Clerk-Treasurer's Office.
