At the present time we are operating in Elgin Manor at full capacity with a waiting list of 85 people and in Terrace Lodge we are operating with 43 residents and a waiting list of 60 people. Under the instructions from the Ministry of Community and Social Services we are operating on a 5.5% budget from the Province of Ontario which has meant in some cases, reducing staff, however, at no time have we been operating our Homes with insufficient staff that it could cause problems to our senior citizens. We are still operating a Satellite Home in Fingal which is operating at the present time with 7 senior citizens uXLder our supervision and the policies set down by the Committee of Management and the Administration, however, the home does have at the present time 16 senior citizens in occupancy. - Teuaao L.gdge . is operating with 4) residents at the present time with a waiting list of 60 people, however, due to the fact that all of the staff at Terrace Lodge were new staff and to make sure that our senior citizens adjust to the new environment of our institutional setting, we have been adlll:l. tting residents at 3 or 4 a week so that there would be no inconvenience to their changing environment and at the same time it ,allows our staff to become more efficient to the operation of our Home for the Aged. We are operating a Day Care programme in both Homes and there is now a big interest from the ,.cast oroa of .the CoUn~y_for tho progrOJJqotl that we are offering in our Day Care programme at Terrace Lage. Now that a great amount of interest is being shown, we would hope that we will have a large Day Care Programme in the not too distant future. Day Care means that a resident may come into a Home for the Aged during, the day and return to their own home at night, enjoying all of the services, recreation, mea:J,s, have a rest period and enjoy the company of other senior citizens. Information and referral services are provided from our Home for the Aged. This is to assist senior citizens in the County with Government forms to be completed by them' and there are other services and programmes which are offered to our senior citizens. We are pleased to provide this information to assist them or by putting them in contact with other agencies. Senior Citizens requesting this information can contact F. J. Boyes, Director, at 6)1-0620 or 773-9205. We are also operating a Vacation Care programme which extends the facilities of the Homes for the Aged to people residing with their families. This allows the aged person to be at home most of the time with a short vacation for the entire family. The purpose of the programme is to encourage families who are presently providing accommodation for their parents to continue and offer the opportunity for a vacation and change of pace for all members of the household. Those admitted under this programme may stay for a week up to a ma:ximum of O:le month in Elgin Manor or Terrace Lodge. All of which is respectfully l\1bm1tted, FJB:mb November 11, 1977 F. J.

"A BY-LAW TO AMEND THE BY-LAW ADOPTING A PLAN OF COUNTY ROAD IMPROVEMENT AND ESTABLISHING i\. COUNTY ROAD SYSTEM IN THE COUNTY OF ELGIN UNDER THE Farmers have had to face severe problems during this summer due to adverse weather conditions. Because of the drought in late May and June very poor results were obtained from chemical weed control, especially on the bean crop and many fields of beans suffered from weeds and grass. Then in August and September, the heavy rainfalls made harvesting of beans almost impossible. The result caused heavy losses to many farmers. The corn growers have come through with a fair crop, although many fields have yet to be harvested. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT ACT." The Council of the Corporation of the County of Elgin enacts as follows: 1. The schedule to the Establishing By-Law No. 216'6 as amended by By-Law 2280 & 2323 & 2373 & 2403 is further amended by: Tobacco growers have had a reasonably good year and produced a large crop and finished the harvest free of frost.

(b) Removing therefrom the Road on Plan Number 31-1 attached hereto and known as County Road No. 31. vleed control on township roads was greatly improved over the previous year. Good results were obtained from their spray program plus many road sides were mowed. Provincial road allowances were also sprayed and mowed and both township and provincial road allowances looked good throughout the summer. (c) Removing therefrom the Road on Plan Number 52-1 attached hereto and known as County Road No. 52. (d) Adding thereto the Road on Plan Number 30-l-R-78 attached hereto of the Road to be known as County Road No. 30. There was no improvement on County road allowances over the previous year. If anything, they deteriorated as most noxious weeds had gone to seed before the roadsides were mowed. As long as this continues it is impossible to enforce the Weed Act on the general public. (e) Adding thereto the Road on Plan Number 3l-l-R-78 attached hereto of the Road to be known as County Road No. 31. (0 Adding thereto the Road on Plan Number 52-l-R-78 attached hereto of the Road to be known as County Road NO. 52. Railways did a fair job of cutting weeds in many areas of their right-of-way. Any complaints I received over weeds on their property and reported to them was well looked after. In closing my report, I would like to thank all County and Township officials, Road Crews and other Weed Inspectors. READ a first time this14th day of Decer.1ber, 1977.
