As instructed by the Executive of the Suburban Roads
COITD1lission Association, I am forwarding a copy of the Lionel D.
Feldman report. The Executive discussed the report at a meeting
held in Guelph on June 3, 1974. Mrs. Lin Good, Chairman of the
Kingston Suburban Roads Commission and a Director from the
Eastern Area has agreed to prepare a draft report for the Executive's
consideration in making a submission to the Provincia.] Government
regarding the advisability of retaining the Commission system.
I am also enclosing a copy of Mrs. Goodls original brief
re Local Government. It has been suggested that this paper might
be added as atopic on the agenda of the planned area meetings.
Any comments that are received could be forwarded directly
to Mrs. Good or to the Secretary-Treasurer.
Yours very tru'ly,

The brief. was commented on by various members and Don Pratt -
Oxford County Engineer was asked to comment, on the nevlRegion of
Oxford. Mr.. Pratt stated that there was no similarity between
what the county had proposed and that set out by the Ontario
Government and that it was one of the biggest disappointments and
letdowns in his'life.
Mr. Riddle, Chairman'of the Woodstock commission and Hr. Robinson,
Chairman of the Ingersoll commission also expressed disappointment
with the provincial proposal, as neither felt the county and local
municipalities had any input into the proposal whatsoever.
Bob Moore of Elgin noted that many of the smaller, mun:i..cipalities
could not perform adequately due tolack,ofmoney and qualified
personnel.
Allan Holmes statedthat'Oshawa now paid 46% of the road expenses
for roads outside the city in the New Durham Region, ~Nhereas prior

ALL ME MBERS WERE PRESE NT .
THE MINUTES OF THE MEETINGS OF February 21, 1974 and March 7,
1974 were read and approved.
THE ENGINEER REPORTED that approximately $18,000 out of a
Maintenance Budget of $24,000 had been spent to date. Practically none
of the $8,000 Construction Budget had been expended.
THE ENGINEER REPORTED that further representations had been
made to the City of St. Thomas, the, County of Middlesex and the Ministry
of Transportation and Communications to clarify the position of construction
on Radio Road. It appeared that the County of Middlesex was not interested
at this time in the construction of Hubrey Road. The Ministry of Transportation
.and Communications stated that it felt that the improvement of Radio Road
was strictly a County responsibility. County Road Committee had discussed
the matter and felt that further representations we:re probably a waste of
time and had given the Radio ~oad Project the highest priority after
completing urban work that would follow sewer installlation by the Ministry
of the Environment. County Road Committee felt thalt Road 30, Road 31 and
Road 52 east of Wellington Road should be completed as soon as possible.
THE ENGINEER STATED that Road 30 had been redesigned to standards
comparable to Wellington Road and that Land Purchase for Road Widening
could start shortly.

THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROADS COMMISSION met on March 7, 1974
at 2:00 p.m. at the County of Middlesex Adminilstration Building,
Ridout Street, London, Ontario.
ALL MEMBERS WERE PRESENT.
ALSO PRESENT WERE the Engineer to the Con~ission, R.G. Moore,
Warden Lake and members of the County of Elgin Road Committee,
Chairman Phil Chapman and members of the LondClln Suburban Roads
Commission, Warden Nelson Eddy of Middlesex CCl1unty, Chairman
Don Nisbet and members of the Middlesex County Road Committee,
F.B.D. Arnold, Middlesex County Engineer, Ron Eddy Clerk-Administrator
of Middlesex County, H. Greenly and B. Sims of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications.
THE WARDEN OF MIDDLESEX WELCOMED the members from Elgin County
to the meeting and introduced the members. Warden Lake and Chairman
McKillop replied for the County of Elgin.
THE ELGIN COUNTY ENGINEER WAS REQUESTED TO EXPLAIN the Road
System in the St. Thomas-London Area.
It was pointed out that:
(l) The M. T.C. had abandoned plans for the Extension of Highway
126 from Highway 40l to St. Thomas in the planning period.
(2) That 1986 traffic projections were: 12,500 vehicles on
Highway 4, 10,500 vehicles on Wellington Road and if Radio-
Hubrey Road Link was built to a reasonable standard, 4,500
vehicles would use it daily.
ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO.
MARCH 7, 1974.
PAGE 2.
(3) That the Elgin end of the road was jln very poor
condition and that the portion near St. Thomas was
being used by 1,000 vehicles daily lllnd the road would
have to be improved in the near future.
(4) Improvement of the Elgin end of the road would lead to
increased traffic on the Elgin end and thus create a
demand for improvements on the Middlesex end.
(5) Projected costs under the present Needs Studies were
approximately 40% of the Elgin section costs and in
Middle~ex, projected costs showed spot improvements
only.
(6t) The future M.T .C. plans called for the reversion of
Highway 74 to the Counties of Elgin ,and Middlesex.
(7) That heavy traffic between London and St. Thomas was
using Highway 74 and Elgin Road 52 and that a Radio-
Hubrey Road would better serve this need.
CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION followed on the p11:'0per solutions.
Inasmuch as most members of Middlesex Road Comnittee were unfamiliar
with the road it was decided that Middlesex ROcld Committee and London
Suburban Road Commission should meet and look ()ver the road and that
discussion should continue at a future time.
IT WAS DECIDED THAT the E 19in County Engirleer should go with
the tour to explain the Elgin Road System to the Middlesex Committee.
THE GENERAL MEETING ADJOURNED.

Dear Sir:
The enclosed is a copy of the agenda for the annual meeting of the
Suburban Roads Commission Association.
Please advise the membership of your Commission about the change of
time to 2 P.M. In former years, the Association met at 3 o'clock.
This year a last minute change in the OGRA program has forced our
Association to revis~ its program.
Mr. Bill Rotman, Roadways Division Engineer for the Regional
MUnicipality of Niagara has agreed to address the Association
on the subject "Suburban Roads and the Regional Roads System".
A meeting on Regional Roads had been scheduled for Monday
evening in which Mr. Holman was to participate was rescheduled
to 3 P.M. on Tuesday. In order to permit the Suburban Roads
Commission Association membership to attend the panel discussion
on Regional Roads, we have adjusted the meeting time. The
business of the Association should be concluded in time to permit
everyone to attend the discussion.
Yours very truly,

FE!bruary 1974,
St:. Thomas, Ontario.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN RO.M) COMMISSION.
Attached to this report is a Statement of Expenditures fot~ 1973 and an
Interim Budget for 1974.
As in the past few years the Commission has cont:rol over 14.45
miles or approximately 4.9~ of a total of 296.75 miles of County Roads.
Construction work on Road 30 at the Patterson Bridge was
completed in 1973. Field surveys were completed on Road 310 and Road 22
(Fairview). Road widening was purchased and fenced on the~ west side of
Road 22 for one mile south of Road 45.
Haintenance expenditures tn 1973 were normal other than winter
control which was light. Overhead, Superintendence etc., is again cal-
culated on a percentage (4% for most items) of the total County Overhead
in 1973.
The Maintenance Budget for J974 shows a normal increase due to
c-e>~cP4dUh- '
inflation for most items with ,e:>L'pJ,t;ta.t..1-e-n of winter control which is
expected to be to the 1971 and 1972 levels.
Construction progral1llle for 1974 is contingent on the,outcome
of proposed meetings between the Counties of Middlesex and Elgin on the
rebuilding of Radio-Hubrey Roa~nk' although a nominal amount of $8,000
is shown for construction even these funds cannot be allotted until these
meetings are beld.
TheM.T.C. Subsidy Rate of 67.64% for 1974 is slightly higher
than the rate of 66.3% used for the calculation of sharing of expenditures
for 1973.
The M. T .C. has again adjusted the assessment of the City of St.
Thomas on which the 1/2 mill contribution is calculated, r,esulting in an
increase in the contribution from $19,000. in 1973 to $19,700. in 1974.
This budget provides approximately $12,250. in funds from ,the
City of St. Thomas not needed for planned work. Together with the surplus
from last year, a like County contribution and M.T.C. subsidies, approx-
imately $100,000. of work could be done in 1974 or 1975 depending on the
outcome of disc\1ssions on Road 30.
Pebr1taary 1974,
St. ,rhomas, Ontario.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMl!fISSION (continued).
/
If the work is done in 1974, County work in otber arella will have to
be curtailed as M.,T.C. subsidy funds are fixed.
In the meantime, engineering design work is proceedinJ~for reconstruction
of Road 30. Field surveys are being plotted for Roael 22 (Fairv:lew) and design work
will be done as time permits.
All of which is respectfully submitted.
