Although Walkers and the hired sand trucks are instructed to keep our garage informed of their posi tions and problems, etc., by telephone , the commun,icati,ons are not i ! nearly as good as by radIo. Thus by using 'radio snowplow routes can be, varied to suit the particular need, at any given timeg SANDING Sanding routes are operated from five locations in the county. In West Elgin, Ray Ball and Jim Ford, sand 75 miles fronl stockpiles near Dutton and Rodney, using tailgate sanders. In central Elgin (the area between Dutton and Aylmer) four-county ,j units (1 single- ax Ie truck and 3 tandem trucks) with power-type sanders are operated out: of White Station. The single-axle truck covers approx- imately 22 miles and the tanden truck approximately 35 miles. High Brooks, using a county power sander covers 34 miles from a stockpile at Port Burwell. Walker Transport, using a county power sander covers 35 miles, and Cyril Stringle using a tailgate sander covers 27 miles of East Elgin fro~ the Aylmer Police College. " County equipment is radio equipped while hired equipment is not radio equipped. County equipment is dispatched on order of the county foreman while hired truckers are "left" on their own to go when needed. This method usually works but we have had the occasional problem. We use quite a lot of salt in central Elgin as we have a number of highly travelled paved roads on which salt works better than the salted, \ sand. And as salt is used in lesser volume than salted sand, a cost saving can be realized. The truck also does not have to return as often for material so more mileage can be covered. A new storage for salt was erected at White Station last winter and holds about 300 ton. Very little salt is used out of Port Burwell, the Police College or We~t Elgin because of the lack of storage. . Report on Winter Maintenance - Continued-' Piu~e 4 SandinR - Continued ..;' ~"""-.. ;,) .. (We have been unable to get into~~h~ Police College hangars because ,the Elgin Co-op has corn stored there and there seems to be no suitable salt storage in Port Burwell or West Elgin). ,TltIO sanders are 'now mounted and available for use and we try to have both of our other sanders on by the last week in November and the tail- gate and power sander on the hired truck-by December 1. GENERAL We have a night shift at the White'Station garage which operates from December 1 to March 31, with at least' a man at the gclrage at all times to'look after the radio and telephone. Whenever ploughing or sanding is in progress the radio is also manned even though it may be Sclturday afternoon or Sunday. We have two men on duty for 10 of the 14 hour!; between 5:00 P. M. and 7:00 A. M. so that one can take a sa~p:~r out for minor work if required. If major sanding is required the regular san4er operators are called out. If ploughing or sanding is required in the 'mOrning the opE~rators are called by the night man so that all units can be operating as shortly after 6:00 A.M. as possible, particularly on the Wellington Road. We have an auxiliary generator powered by one of our weed-cutting tractors whieh provide electrical power to operate our radio, boiler and gasoline pumps, etc., in case of power failure. We have cllso tried to impress upon the Ontario ProvinCial Police the nature of our 'problems, the way we operate and whom to call when a problem arises but sometimes this falls on deaf ears as their radio and telephone personnel keep cbangf.ng. I RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Increased public relation effolts and co..ial.Jnicntions with the Ontari'o Provincial Police, County Board of Education (school buses) ambulance services, etc., including maps sholnng county, roads and telephone, and names as to whom to contact: regarding snow- plowing and sanding problems. 2. Continuance of emergency noti;ees to Radio Station CHLO when it is necessary to close roads and remove plows and !~anders from roads because of lack of visibility, etc. Report on Winter Maintenance - Continued Pa~e 5 Recommendations - Continued 3. Plowing of township roads or King's Highways to be done only on an emergency basis (equipment broken down, stuck, etc.,) and to be authorized by the township reeve or road supE!rintendent, except when lives or property are at stake when all personnel is authorized to proceed under their own initiativ~. 4. Continuance of Road Committee policy for the county to eventually own and operate' all winter maintenance equipment. (This will take a number of years). 5. No inc,rease in the number of snowplows at the present time. Equi.pment to be rep laced as necessary. Snowplo'w trucks to be "retired" ,to operate as sander trucks. Diesel trucks of increased horsepower to replace present gasoline and diesel- powered trucks. (Truck #32, gasoline, RG-l94 International, purchased 1966 now has 155,000 miles. Truck #4,4 (international diesel) purchased late 1969 now has about 69,000 miles. , 6. Truck /114 and Brant for~ Anthony (4 - 5 cubic yatrds), purchased i~ 1957; to be sold or junked in spring of 1972 (if there is 'anything left). Truck. and sander wi 11 have to be replaced. Tan4em-power sanders should replace all tailgat:e sanders by winter of 1973 - 1974. Four will be neede'd, (Three tailgat"e sanders, .p Ius Brant ford Anthony). Two urd t s p4!r year for two years. Two Tandem trucks should be purchased ~as soon as possible.. These will replace #25 purchased in 1964 which is being used ~ 'as a float truck and #32, and allow sanders to be permanently mounted on Truck #25 and Truck #32. As other tandem trucks are required 'the rplaced truck,can be used instead of renting a truck for sanders. 7. Sanders should be of the'type that do not need auxiliary motor and could be operated from a front end crankshaft pump. Report on Winter Maintenance - Continued PaJle 6 Recommendations .. Continued 8. Radio units should be place~ in all hired trucks for better communications fo~ ploughing and s~nding (6 units necessary) and should be available for the winter of 1973 .. 1974, (that is, three units per year for two years.) 9. Salt storage in East and' West Elgin will be re~quired, however, these storage~ could be rented if available until a firm dec.'i~-ion is made where to locate new patro 1 ,ya,rds. .10. Loading equipment will. have to be acquired to replace rented equipment. If East and West Elgin can be consolidated in one location for each section we may need only one more loader (one of present backhoe loader will be available). LIt appears that we should buy another hoe, as we have rented one for the whole sun~er). This should be done immediately. 11. More snow fence should be purchased -1000 feet. , ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED. K~{' 1m /)~, R.'G.

THOMAS, ONT ARI 0 FEBRUARY, 1971 Estimates are shown to complete all work in progr.ess, Road #22, Road #53, and Road #40 north and South). $15,000 is shown to start construction of new Garage facilities at White Station. A complete proposal will be presented in early summer for discussion by the Committee. Estimates are shown for the Urban Section of Road #16 in Fingal and for Warren Street (Road #21) in Port Stanley. It is hoped to complete Road #2 to the point of paving this year in the rural section and complete all work in the urban section. At this time no decision has been made on the amount of work necessary on the Section of Road #2, east of Highway #76. If considerable work is done it is very doubtful if the estimates for work on Road #2 will be adequate and as the estimates for the other projects leave little, if any, leeway. It is possible that certain fall accounts may not be able to be paid until 1972. A complete report on the extent of work desirable on Road #2 will not likely be available ~ntil Spring comes and further information is available (April). A nominal amount is budgeted for Surveys and perhaps some Clearing and Fencing on Road #36. ALL OF WHICH IS RESPECTFULLY SU:BMITTED ),:? /j IhlAJ'V~ f / I " f/ R. G. MOORE, COUNTY ENGINEER ~ ST.
