be reconstructed when road section rebuilt (likely a culvert

(b) TurkE~y Creek (Out let 0 f Hunt Drain) Deck 13'6" w:lde not
deficient because it '~is on Township road. Abutments should
be checked.
(c) Several Culverts on Road 19 between Road #8 and i~14 should

Outlook for 1974 - Resurfacing Road #25, Wellington Road, or
reconstruction of Road ft30 from Road 1152 Northerly.
Therefore, in 1972 ,or 1973, C,ounty will likely have tC) assume
some of Commission's expenditures.
CLOSING REMARKS:
Unfortunately, the assembly of the necessary information
and the writing of this report has taken longer than boped for
and advance sending- of this r~port has been impossib14!.
. It IflClY be necessary to delay the recomme~dation c)f the Road
Committee to. County Counci.l until December, in order to give
the Committee an opportunity to Study and discuss the report
fully. (It would appear impossible to have another C4ommittE!e
meeting prior to November 1, 1970.
The 3-Year Road Programme. should be examined annually
and updated as necessary to take any new Needs (such ,as Bridge
collapses etc.,) into account and programme them.
ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SU~BMITTED

less Provincial money is available; thus, the 45'7. C:onstruction
objective may be raised or lowered, (b) the Provincf.al Equalized
As.essment factors change across the province so thslt the 1.25
Mill Rat1e is not realistic, (if the factors drop, tbe Mill Rate
will also have to drop as the Provincial Equalized Assessment
wi 11 i nc'rease.
17. Direct Aid Entitlement is based on an Urban repute
of 25%. An additional rebate over 25% will have raised by
increased County rate over basis County Rate. (Add:ltional
rebates are still eligible for Subsidy.)
18. The Needs Study will be updated ,early stating in
the early spring of 1971 (called the 1971 update). This update
will apply only to those roads that work has been dlone on in
the previous year (or years 1969-70), and to those roads that
would come into 1-5 years period for Construction. (Including
problemll identified during 1971 spring breakup.) Thus. the
percentSlge of the system inventoried every year would quite
limited (Spring breakup on the County system are becoming less
significant on a percentage cost basis every year as more and
more roads ..re' rebui lt ). As it i.s expected that, in most years

the update work will not be a great burden, the hiring of a
Consultant to do the update wi 11 not be necessary in most
Counties.
19. Townline Bridges are not (as in 1964-69) Programme)
totaled into the needs and any funds spent on ConstnJlction of
Townline lBridges do. not count toward the earning of Development
Road Entitlement but do have to be added in with rega,rd to
ma~imum Subsidy available to at least 1972.
C. Recommendations Based on Proposals of Department of Highwavs
of Ontario for 1970-74 Programme
1. That the County continue as in the past with a Programme
County Road and Bridge Maintenance and Construction.
2.
That this Programme continue as in the past: under
the control of County Council, the County Road Committee, and
the County Engineer.
3.
That Maintenance work be handled as in the past by
County fo:rces, supplemented as necessary by outside 81ssistance
and where economical and practical County forces to take over
mai ntenance work not now done by County forces. (Thi. s may
take a pe~riod of years. (i.e.) All Weed Cutting donE~ by County
in 1970. Snowplowing and Sanding by County may ,be sOlme years
in future.)
4.
That Construction work will be by Day LCilbour using
County equipment and local Contractors and local assi.stance
wherever possible so that as much as possible of the County's
Construct.lon budget goes to residents of the County.
5.
That only those jobs that are impractical to be done
by Day Labour (such as large bridges and Hot Mix Asphalt Paving)
be Contracted out.
6.
That Consultants be employed on only those projects
that i$ of a specialized nature such as large bridge!:l, deep
storm sewers etc. and that every effort be made to f(llr the
County to do as much of its ()wn Engineering as possible.
7.
That the County should spend sufficient fUr.lds to take
advantage of all the Direct Aid possible. (Present s~pending

Urbans (reduced by -12.5% to take care of Urban Rebat,e at 25%

= $424,380
From City of St. Thomas (contribution re Suburban Roads \ Mill
requirement)
== $ 16.900
$441,2ao
Of this amount, the County Share of Bridge expenditures is
calculated first (80% Subsidy, 20% County Cost)
20% of $212,000 (yearly Bridge costs) = 42,400
Money left = 441,280
Less' = 42.400
398,880
This which subsidy from DHO (matching at 50% becomes $797,760
or $798,000
Thus, the unmet Road needs @ 1.25 mills or 1,141,000
Less 798.000
343,000
E. The Formulae to Calculate Direct Aid is as Follows:
The unmet Road needs @ 1.25 mills (2.432) (optimum m.ill rate
- 1.25)2 + 50% of Unmet Road Need @ 1.25
Try l.~O as an optimum Mill Rate
343,000 (2.432 (1.60 - 1.25)2 + 5t~(343,OOO)
= 834,176 (1.60 - 1.25)2 + 17,150
= 834,176 (.35)2 + 17,150
= 834,176 (.1225) + 17,150
= 102,186 + 17,150
Direct Aid. 119,336 or $ll9,OOO

E. (Cant' d),
Subsidy Payable by DHO = 80% Bridge Costs of 212,000 or 169,600
= 5<rf. Road Costs less Direct Aid or
1,141,000 less 119,000
= 511.000
Total
680.600
As a check: Subsidy, Plus Direct Aid, plus, County Rate at
1.60 mills, plus City of St. Thomas Contribution should equal
total exp.enditure ~ 1,141,000 Roads

Direct Aid
1.60 mills on 339,503,306 is - 543.205

Checking a Mill Rate of 1.59 we find:

City of St. Thomas
16,900
1.59 mills or 339,503,306 - '39.800
1,353,550
Thus, an expenditure of 539,800 (plus Urban Rebates) would give
the maximum Direct Aid of $113,000 :t in 1970.
(Actually, the County Rate raised approximately $660,000)

This will again work out to a Direct Aid contribution of

Mill Rate of 1.58.
(However, Maximum Subsidy will be based on 1969 expenditures
and the County Rate will have to be in excess of this. Mill rate
to raise the County Share to take advantage of the maximum
Subsidy obtainable.

Attached to this Report is a proposed Budget for 1970.
To date, we have not received a policy s.tatement
from the-Department of Highways with regard to the:ir 1970-75
fiscal policy. Thus, we do not know the County B,'-Law allocations
for 1970, the rate-of subsidy, whether Supplementary Assistance
will b~! forthcoming or not, and if forthcomi'ng, the type or
amount. We, also, have no idea what method will be used to
pay to the County the remaining funds for Development Roads
from tbe 1965-69 progranune or when they might be received.
Thus, the task of recommending this Budget is the most
frustrating budget t,hat I ever encountered and is ,a task, nigh unto,
impossible.
1 have divided the Budget into three parts (a) Maint-
enance for which a sum of $415,000.00 has been allocated by
the Department. (b) Normal Construction for which the amount
of $984,000.00 has been allocated.
1 have divided Construction into two parts; <.) that
Construction for whichcommittments have been made and work
will ha've to continue, and (b) that for which, although, some
committments,. etc., may have been made, the project could be
left for a year or more without a large increase in cost to
the County.

Although, tbe amount allocated for MaintE!!tlance by the
Department of Highways of Ontario is larger in 1970 than 1969,
the costs and the needs are growing at a faster rate than the
allocation.
All work, other than Surface Treatment and Gravel
Resurfacing, is estimated on the basis of last year. Any
.S
in'crease or improvement in the operation will have to be buelleted
t
for, acc.ordingly. The only incre'ases are for inflation.
- 2 -
Gravel Resurfacing is necessary on Road #9 and #5,
(22 miles).
t
"
It is suggested that Crushed Gravel be imp~orted from
the Komoka area for these roads. Although, this gra've1 is more
expensive, the cost will be well worth it in the long rUn with
better materials that will ,last longer being placed.
Surface Treatment work has been badly negl,ected in
the past few year's 'and, although, the amount budgeted will
not catch up the programme by any means, it will be ,a step
in the rigpt direction.
Also, Repairs to Pavements are expected to inc~ease
~V
in l~ Road #2, West of Road #15 in Dunwich, is showing
serious deterioration from unknown causes and it may be
necessary to resurface approximately 1 mile as .well .as make
other repairs. At this time, serious spring break up is
indicated.
A percentage of'Urban Rebates must be agreed upon
before a budget can be finalized.
Cons truction
(a) Brid~:
Money will have to be allocated, to complete Willeys
Bridge, Warren Street Bridge and Players Bridge. Also, committed
is Kains Bridge by the St. Thomas Suburban Road Commlission.
To complete Road #45 with Development Road Funds, a crossing
of Kettle Creek will have to be provided.
As Engineering work proceeds on this project, it
,becomes increasing more evident that costs will be greater than
originally estimated.
.(b) Roads:
Money will have to be allocated for the St. Thouas
Suburban Road Commission, Road Construction, Urban R.ebates,
Overhead Costs, Completion of the Needs Study, Land Purchase,

New Machinery costs are estimated at $52,000.00 which
is partially offset by a Credit of Machinery Ownersbip costs

charged to Development Roads.
New Machinery should include: a Stone Sprl!ader,
'~
(already purchased), two pickup trucks and a car (tr~ide existing
vehicles), two Tractor and Mowers (which would eliminate our
renta 1- pt'oblems), two Sanders, a sma 11 Crawler Tract4:>r, and
a start on new Garage facilities.
A considerable number of jobs from last ye,ar should
be completed including Warren Street and Willeys Bridge approaches,
Fencing on Roads #48, #49, and #45, Clean up Work on Roads lIS,
/142, and 122.
In order to cover costs incurred to date, and necessary
/1 iJ
work in 1.9~' to provide for Construction in future Yjears, money
will have to be allocated for work on Road 12, Road i~40 (north
and south) and Road #16.
Construction~upplementarv)
As the amount of Supplementary By-Law mone'y available
is not likely to be known for sometime, it is recomm,ended that
the projects listed be carefully examined and priorities set
against them so that if and when funds are available, we will
have completed tbe Engineering work so thatConstrucltion work
can proce.ed with undue delay.
Mill Rate
It would appear at this stage that an arbitrary Mill Rate
wi 11 have to be set by the Committee so that a Tot.a 1 County
Budget can be set at the March Sessi~n of County Council.
l feel that it is extremely likely that an April
Session of County Council will be required to pass the
necessary Supplementary By-Laws.,
Additional Reports will be made to the ComRittee
as soon as information is received from the Department of
Highways of Ontario.
ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

THE ENGINEER REPORTED that Studies were still being continued to find out
whether or not the installation of large Culverts on Road /145 at Kettle Creek
Crossing was practical or not. Mr. J. Harris of the Department of Highways of
Ontario Hydrogoly Departrne.nt was to view the site on February 20, 1970.

before next Winter and it would not be necessary to budget funds for Construction
on Warren Street, Road /121, other than for the Warren Street Bridge approaches
in 1970.
Sanitary Sewers work in West Lorne", also, would not: likely begin unti 1
1971 and funds would not be needed for Road /12 re Constructi()n unti 1 1971 other
than for the Graham Road Drain Assessment.
