Sitting at the head table representing the executive of the Suburban

The Chairman asked those present if there was any new business to
discuss. It was pointed out by Bob Strachan from Smiths Falls that a
resolution from the City of London was presently being circulated to
Municipalities throughout the Province concerning the appointment of
Commissioners. London's recommendation is an amendment to The Public
Transportation and Highway Improvement Act permitting elected officials
to be appointed to the Commissions and a change in the length of
appointment from five years to two years, corre.sponding to the term of
Municipal Councils.
Considerable discussion ensued concerning this resolution and many
delegates to this meeting voiced their dissatisfaction with the
proposal. As a result, it was
Moved by: Freeman Hawky
Seconded by: Harry Morrow
That the Eastern Group of the Association of Suburban Road Commissions
for Ontario opposed the resolution by the City of London concerning
the appointment to Suburban Road Commissions and that Mrs. Lin Good
and Mr. Gord Dougall be a dConmittee of two to make representation
on our behalf to the appropriate authorities.
'Carried'
One remaining item of new business waS an invitation by the Cornwall

All those present unanimously accepted the invitation.
This concluded the business of the meeting and the Group proceeded with
the bus tour to the Wa11bridge-Loyalist Overpass, and the tour of
the Bata Shoe Factory.

ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION REPORT
February 1977.
TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION:
Attached to this report is a Statement of Expenditures for 1976
and a Proposed Budget for 1977.
1976's operations resulted in a small decrease ($ 350 ::!:) in the
deficit of the City of St. Thomas.
Again in 1976 portions of ;Road 30 were assumed and reverted for
cohs.truction purposes. This will again be necessary in 1977 as the $ 101,000
budget for the project will fall about $ 90,000 short of completing the road.
Thid3 amount has been placed i.n the County :Budget to allow for the completion
of the road. Later in 1977 a programme for 1978 will have to be decided
lJpon in conjunction with the County of Elgin Road Committee.
M~intenance Expenditures especially for winter control and
maintenanc.e of pavements are expected to be considerqbly higher than normal
agai.n in 1977. Although it is too early to be certain, all signs point to
an extremely bad spring breakup because of the depth of frost. As the
Suburban Roads must be opened first and maintained to a hig~ standard
average costs per mile are much higher than the County Roads. An increase
in Safety Devices is shown to take care of the cost of erecting metric road
signs.
Unfortunately routine maintenance will suffer (such as grass
cutting, guide rail, bridge painting, etc.).
Drainage Asses~ents against Suburban Roads include Vineden Drive
Drain on Road 25,pflrtially completed in 1976 and McBane Drain which will
include the boring of Wellington Road in Concession XI Yarmouth.
The anticipated deficit to 1978 will remain constant from 1976
at approximately $ 2,000.
All Of Which Is Respectfully Submitted.
