TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE STo THOM1~S SUBURBhN ROLD COMMISSION. ATTABHED TO MY ANNUAL REPORT to the Ccmmissi.on is a state- ment of expenditures on the Commission Roads in 1964 and an estimate of expenditures for 1965. THE COMMISSION has jurisdiction, as in pa~t years, of 24.0 .J miles of paved roads and 1.15 miles of gravel roads, i.ncluding. Rcad 16, J Fingal ~oad, St. Thoma~ to Burwell's Corners in Southwold Twp., 11 miles; Road.22, Fairview Ave., from the St. Thom9s limits to Union-Sparta Road, 318 miles; Road.25, Wellington Road, from Hwys. 3 & 4 to the Middlesex County Line, 4.7 miles; Road 26, St. George Street, 0.9 miles; and lJ.oad 30 from the St. Thomas City limits t~ the Middlesex County Line, 4.8 miles. EXPENDITURES in 1964 were somewl).at higher than estimated, particularly Brigge & Culvert maintenance, repairs to pavements, gravel road maintenance, and brushing. These expenditures were somewhat off- set by taking advantage of v!inter 1tlorks subsidy on gu:tde r9i1 r,epairs and brushing, and the,rebat~ of Ontario sales tax for 1963, 1962 and September to December, 1961, being 1 1/8% of the total Suburban Road C~mmission expenditures for this period. IN 1964 approximately Ii miles of Road 22 were surface treated, as were approximately 2 miles of Road 16. The remainder of Road 16 should have been treated had funds been available. WITH regard to property purchase on the irJellington Road, final settlement was made re the Reid property, while no final settle- ment has yet been reached for the Dodd property. ESTIMATES for 1965 are attached, and provide for narmal maintenance on the Commission roads as well as for the Commission's share of the Needs Study now under 'ltJay. Fun<j.s are also estimated to cover Land Purchases as yet outstGlnding. $2,700.00 is estimated for surfaue treatment work on Road 16, and any additional funds available should also be used for surface treatment on the remainder of Road 16. THE COMMISSION should meet with the County Roads Committee after the Need Study is completed to discuss problems of common interest, including the desirable mileage that should be in the Suburban Road System. The Commission is presently represented on the Needs Study Co-Ordinating Committee by Mr. W.E. Rowe. { ; ANNU~L REPORT TO THE ST. THOM(S SUBURBAN ROAD CO~\1ISSION Page 2 hLTHOUGH the Study will not be completed for several months, it appears that the Commission will not have sufficient funds to complete high priority work, inc+uding replacement of St. George Street and Patterson Bridg~s, the rebuildiQg of St. George Street, and the probable rebuilding, within 5 years, of both Road 30 and Road 16 to Fingal. THIS will, no doubt, be in. conjunction with the addition of other roads very c lose to St. Thomas, and will necess:itate the revision of the St. Thomas Suburban Road System to meet future needs and to better use the funds available.
