The Western Division's Annual Meeting of the Suburban
Roads Commission Association was held in the Court House
Building at St. Thomas with Mr. R.G. Moore, B.Sc.P.Eng., as
Host.
There were (39) delegates present and a full list of
registration is attached to these Minutes.
The meeting was called to order at 9:30a.m. by
President P.F. Morand, who welcomed the members and commented
on their presence following severe ra..in storms all during the
previous day and night. It was because of these storms that
Mr. Ken Gray was late in arriving, is the reason why
Mr. Morand carried on the first part of the meeting as Chairman.
He asked Mr.A.B. McCallum, Warden of Elgin County, for
a few words. The Warden welcomed the delegates to St. Thomas
and hoped that the dileberations would be beneficial to all.
Mr. Ed Rowe, Chairman of the St. Thomas Suburban
Commission then adq.ressed the meeting stating i:h particular
some of the work of his Commission during the past year.
The Minutes of the Annual Meeting held in Woodstock
on September 20th, 1967 were adopted.
The next order of business was the nomination and
election of a new Director for the Western Section to replace
Mr.. P.F. Morand who had been elected President oftha Ontario
group at the Annual Meeting of the three sections held in
February 1969 in Toronto.
Mr. John Stephens of St. Marys was unanimously elected
to the post of Director with duties starting from thi,s date.
At this point, Mr. Ken Gray entered the meeting and
took over the Chairmanship for the balance of the day.
Considerable discussion took place on the road problems
facing the Cities, Towns, and Counties as well as the
Province.
The roads forming a horder line between Counties,
Cities and Towns and the bridges forming a connecting link
were fully discussed.

Some very serious consideration was given to the
possible effects of Regional Government and of the re-
sponsibiiliities of Suburban Commission under these circum-
stances. It served to be the opinion of the delegates that
it would be many years before these problems could be
resolved.
The last subject was discussed, asto the next
location fo~ the 1969 Western Group Meeting and Mr~ Peter
Crawford, Engineer at Chatham, stated he would host the
meeting at Chatham.
A very generous reception and Dinner was enjoyed by
the delegates at the local Golf Club.
In the late afternoon, the delegates were guests of
Ford of Canada and visited their Talbotville Plant.
A note of thanks was given to first the Ford MJtor
Company, and therito Mr. R.G. Moore who planned and carried
out a most successful and productive day. .

ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO,
MARCH, 1968.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE
ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION
ATTACHED TO MY ANNUAL REPORT to the Commission is a
Statement of Expenditures on the Commission Roads in 1967, and
an estimate of Expenditures for 1968.
THE COMMISSION has control of 22.0 mile.s of Road,
which is the same as in past years. 1.15 miles ()f this
.
mileage (Road # 30) is gravel, the rest is paved..
In 1967 the last of the Wellington Road Debentures were
paid. Thus, the full one half Mill, approximately $20,186.00
will be available to the Commission this year. Maintenance
will take the majority of the budget, as major MaLintenance Work:
has been neglected for a number of years. Surfa(::e Treatment
is ne~essary on at least (6) six miles.
PROORAMMING OF NEEDED CONSTRUCTION WORK ()n Radio Road
and St. George. Street is not possible until a definite Route
for the St. Thomas By-Pass and Highway # 126 ExtE~nsion are
designated by the City of St. Thomas, and the Ontario Department
of Highways.
FURTHER MEETINGS with the County Road Committee will
be necessary throughout the year, to co-ordinate future planning
for Road Construction.
ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED:
