COUNTY OF ELGIN
INTEGRATION OF COUNTY & LOCAL ROAD SYSTEM
~ 2nd Draft November 15th, 1966
TO THE CHAIRMAN & MEMBERS OF THE COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE:
The following report contains the information previously submitted in the first
draft, and as requested by Comt-ittee, amplifies and clarifies some of the points
referred to.
For purposes of the following discussion it would be assumed that all local
Roads except those in the TOvm of Aylmer would be administered by the County. A
System of bookkeeping could be evolved so that expenditures on a desirable County,
Road would be separated from expendi tures on a Local Read System., (At some add-
itibna1 cost local road system expenditures could be separated int8 areas or
municipalities).
A) Sununary of Some of the Advantages of Administrating County & Local Road System.
using the same manage~ent.
1. Benefits to Local Road System of Engineering' Advice & Services now
available to the County Roads System.
2.. Benefits to Local Road System of Specialized Equipment owned by or
available to the County Road System.
3. Contracts feasible by areas covering both County & Local Roads
(Gravel Crushing etc.)
4. Economies in bulk purchasing (Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Grader Blades,
etc.), to both Local & County System.
5. Reduction in overhead & management costs to both the County & Local
Systems.
6. Better Utilization of existing equipment (both Local & County)
to perform services in a given area (example: Snow Plowing, Weed
Cutting, Grading) etc. Travel Time & Overlapping on both County &
Local Road Equipment would be reduced.
7. Economies in Machinery Servicing etc., as the amount of equipment wou)~
warrent proper shop equipment & employment of qchanics etc.
8. Standa.rd By-Laws controlling Building Setbacks, Signs, Gasoline Pumps,
Entrances, Road Crossings etc~

It would appear that the various talentS of all Local Road E~loyees
wishing to join the staff of an Intezrated System would be most useful. These
employees should be transferred without losS of pension. Sick BenefitS, and
seniority for holidaY ~urposes. etc. The transfer should be as speedy and as order-
ly as possible.
Machinery would have to be appraised. the Municipality reimbursed and
the ~~chinery placed in a conr~n pool, and the same rental rate char~ed for the use
of thiS r.l/lchinery on all Roads in an Integrated ~oad system,
Gravel & sand PitS and other assetS transferred to the common System
would alsO have to be appraised and the Municipality reimbursed.
f.9NCWSl~
The job of tntegrating the Local & county systems. will take consid-
erable study and if approved will take a considerable time to complete. It will
nO doubt take a number of years to work the "bugs" out of the System.
The Technical job of co_ordinating all Municipal Road DepartmentS into
one is not impOssible, as distances involved are not toO great. Most Municipalities
are facing similar problems, and noW have similar staff and equip.~at. However, it
would take tine. The biggest obstacles to the job are political which is probablY
best sUL1Ped up by citing the tendencY of T~St people to resist change.

TO THE CHA,IIU1Al~ & 12MBERS OF THE COUN~ OF ...ELGl~l ~OAD COliMlTTEE:
.L.S requested by the Conmittee at their l~!.\st meeting, the
following report contains. (a) Some of the L.dvantl~ges & Disadvantages
of County and Loeal Road Ama1g[l.mat1on~ (b) Projeetlild Total
Expendltures~ (c) List of Equipment available from County and Loeal
Munlcipalities~ (d) Reorganizational ideas and an lasttmate of Staff
required~ etc. These items~ and many other ttem8 ,~ll have to be
examined in a great deal more depth than in these :I:'eportl, before
any decialon can be made.
In the following discussion it would be lassumed that all
Local Roads exeept those in the Town of Aylmer:i would be
administered by the County. A system of bool(keepins would have to
beJ and eould be evolved~ so that the County Road ]~xpenditure's
would be separate from Loeal Road Expendituress (Local Road
Expenditures could be lumped togethert or at aome l~dd1tlonal
expense separated into Municipalities).
J.. ADVl\lfrAGES to both Local !Jlun~c;j.'p~lities & Coun'r:y
1. Benefits of Engineering i~dvice~ & Sp1acialized services
to Local Municipals.
2. Reduction in Overhead Costs on Iv1anetgiement.
3. Better ulltization of l1ach:1nery ownsld presently by
County & Local Roads~ aspeci~lly Specialized Equipment.
4. Contracts feasible by areas covering both County &
Loeal Roads~ (Gravel Crushing$ etc.).
s. Economies in bulk purchas1ng~ Gasoline~ Diesel Fuel~
Grader Blades~ etc.
6. Better l1achinery Servicing, 8S a number of machines
would warrant employment of Uechanica anld Helpers.
7. Better Service to the Taxpayer~ Grading~ Snow Plowing~
Patehin8~ Weed Cutting~ ete.~ could be done by areas by
one machine in most cases, instead of hew'ing County 6& Local
Road authority machines crossing each others path.

8. Standard By-LaWS' controlling Set Backs of Buildings,
Sir-s, Gasoline Pumps, etc., Entrances, and Road
Crossings.
2. DlSI~Vf~TAGE~_
1. Disadvantages of L~rger Organizations, (more chiefs,
less Indians) 0
2. Some Responsibility removed from the Local CO..,.u.1nity.
3. Tendency to provide higher class service, than at
present, which mayor lllE-y not be necessary, thuS
becoming mo~e expensive.

;Qt9RGANI:3ATI0l1AL IDEAS AND ASSOCIATED Pr:.9BLE1/~
The need for added service mainten~nce on County ROBds is increasing 0
Much of this service ~lintenance could be more advantageously done
from three Garages. (1 in East Elgin} 1 in West Elgin, and our
present Garage at VJhite St3.tion)" r'Je are rcpidly r?pproaching the
time when some decision must he mD.deo
The two small patrols would likely consist of a forE~man and 3 to 5
men in the winter ~ 7 or8 men in the Slu.l.luer f} to handle snow
plowing~ sanding~ weed cutting~ and spr.Gying~ road patchings tree
cutting:; guide rl\il maintenanccll etco~ and to t1.ssist in Construction
Work~ such as fencingi etc.
More specialized work such as Surface Treatmentll centre line
marking~ new signs~ e~c.~ should be handled from l~ite Strtiono
Our additional equip~~nt needs would be for each Patrol --
I Pickup truck
1 Truck for transporting men
1 Tractor loader & hoe (3 total)
1 Dump truck
Tools
The pre~ent grader and farm trnc~ors could be reassigned to the
patrol.
It would not be a difficult problem to enlarge thaltle patrol to assume
maintenance' of local roads in the area.
Ls the Coun~y has no suitable quarters in either East or West Elgin~
I
quarters wo~ld have to be built.
If a local roads merger became effective~ no doubt storage areas
of the loca!l municipalities could be used for some time..
I
The presen~ County Gar8ge e.t 11hite Station is all rapidly becoming
inadequate.) More machinery storage roomll more shop space~ space
for a lU"1cl1room and new lockers is urgently requi:r'ed!) as is office
space for ti,he stoclckeeper and for foremen. /.. deci.sion on these
i
problems m~st be also made shortly.
~e 7
In the Court House:i) General Office space, drafting room space~ office
space for Lssistr.,nt Engineers> etc., is urgently req'Uired~ The
problem 'Vlill become acute this vlintcr. 4':..ny plClns i";long this line
should allo't'1 for future c'l:pansion as necesscl'ry.
Additional staff for the managing of local systems along with the
present County System is of course quite dependent cn size of
Road programe undertaken.
Assuming total expe.nditures on Locnl & County Roads to be in the
order of $3:il 000,000.. 00 we feel the str:ff requirements might be as
follows.

2 complaints were under investigation. (1) Mr. Welch that he could not get

presentation to COnIDlittee.
THI~ ENGINEER REVIEl'1ED Expenditure and Programle of Work to date,

t~,llo"tq some bridge and culvert projects to be completed.
Tim ENGINEER STATED that McNiel Bridge, could not be completed,
nor the improvement or Road 40, north of ~,lount Salem, as it depended on the

FEBRUARY, 196h.
.TO THE CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
...,.-<................".-...- ..-. ...-
THE COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COI@1ITTEE:
GENTLEMEN:
ATTACHED to this report is a PROPOSED BUDGET
for 1966. The present County Road System is coraposed of
a total of approximatelv 292 miles of which 22 miles are
under Control of the St. Thomas Suburban ROAd Commission.
This is an increase of approximAtely 12 miles over the mileage
in 1965 and occured because of the adoption by County Council
of the recommendations of the Needs Study (reversion of
approximately 30 miles of road and the assumption of approx-
imately 42 miles).
The PROPOSED BUDGET is based on an expenditure of
8.9 Mills on an assessment of approximately $57.5 million
dollars and totals $1,340,000. Of this amount Bridge and
Culvert Construction is estimated at $361,000 and work on
deletions from the desirahle County Road System is
estimated at $86,000. The total expenditure is approximately
$480,000 greater than the expenditure in 19h5.
MAINTENANCE:
THE ADDITION of over 40 miles of Township Roads
on the System will increase the cost of Maintenance in 1966,
especially Gravel Resurfacing, Maintenance of Gravel Roads
and Dust Control. It is also proposed to do a small amount
of Grading and Ditching etc. charged to maintenance on some
of the Roads assumed (particularlv Road 9 and 43) as a
relatively small expenditure will greatly improve the width
and visibilit'T etc. in some locations. Gravel Resurfacing
is suggested for former RORd 12 (now completed at a cost of
approximately $6,500 in 19A6). Road 9 from Road 14 to Road 8
(Continued)
MaintenRnce

and Road 9 from Road 5' to ROAd 8', all in Dun'VIlich Tov.lnship.
Road 5 from ROAd 9 to Thames River, Dunwich - Aldborough Townline
and Road 9 from ROAd 3 to Road 5 in Aldborough TO'wnship. This
work should all be done by Contract. (Total approximately
22 miles).
As time permits Gravel is being hauled hv County
Trucks to vArious roads in the St. ThomRs area from the
Stockpile at VmiteYs Station. These Ropds include Road 45
between Road 22 and Road 36, Road 29, Road 31 and Road 52
between the Bostwick Road (Southwold Township) and Carr's
Bridge (Yarmouth Township.)
I would suggest Surface Treatment of Rpproximately
34 miles in 1966 (including 10 miles over mulch and Double
Surface Treatment that was lain in 1965). It is also proposed
to continue our programme st8rted in 1965 of Hot J1ix Patching
on various paved roads which will not be rebuilt in the next
few yeArs.
1PINTEH CONTROL COSTS are 8 s alvvays, nec3rly impossible
to estimate.
THE COST OF most other items will rise somewhat
because of the increased cost of labour and materials. Sign
Costs however, will be lOvJer due to the purch8 se of B
considerable number of Signs, posts, etc. before the end of 1965~
URBAN REBATES are estimated at $53,000 which is a
rebate of 35% of the road rAte of 8,,9 Mills. (The rebAtp ;1'1
past years has been 35%. This amount can be varied between
25 & 50% by County Council).
OVERHEAD COSTS (vJhich were approximatel v $58,999
in 1965) are estimeted at $80,000 (8 portion of both Urban
Rebates and Overhead costs 8re shown in Road Construction).
Cost increAses Are expected in neArly all items

A Formulae of Di~ect Aid based on the needs of the variouS

developed by the D. H, O.
This Formulae is as followS:

( )
(__' 3----1
(0.95) + 0.05 (Unmet Needs at)

This Formulae is simplified in the following table showing
the Mill Rate and the pereentage of the Unmet Needs the D. H. 0,
will pay toward by Direct Aid tDevelopment Roads).

The Ontario Department of Highways uses certain termS
which are defined as follOWS:
~
1. Defined Needs tin Dollars) - 100% of FiJted CostS
tin any year) + 70% of construction Needs of the
Desirable County Road System for the PeriodS shown
in the Needs StudY as nOw plUS 1 to 5 years. (AS
we are now into the 1 to 5 year group starting in
1965 - 1969 inclusive).
2. 1:J\i11 Rate is alwayS provinciallY equalized - not
County equaliZed-
3. County must meet or eJtceed 6 Mills befere Direct Aid
is considered.
4. Aid for 1965 and 1966 will be a11ecated on basiS of
1966 expenditures-
J5. The fact that a certain Dollar amount for Aid is
calculated d.es not necessarilY mean that the money
is immediatelY fortheOming. It means that we are
eligible for that money when it is available and Vlhen
we have received approval of pre_engineering etc. on
approved mileages of Road.

Page I/:4
It is on this amount that Direct Aid is calculated as a
~~centage. At this mill rate (6 mills) the County wil~ be
igible for 5% of the Unmet needs or approximBtely $52,000.
At 7.5 Mills the additional County Money raised is
1.5 ($57,5000,000) = $86,250. Thus at 50% 8ubsidv the
Road Needs met are $172,500. ^t this mill rate (7.5 millp'
the D. H. O~ wi~l provide 29% of the unmet needs at 6 mil~
or .29 x $1,046,000 or $303,340. Thus at 7.5 Mills a
total.of ~pproximately $476,000 are met out of a total nee~
of $1,046,000.
(County would be spending approximately $646,0~0 on Road
Construction at this mill rate.
Roads under 6 mills - $170,0000
Roads over 6 mills, including Dev. Rd.., .r~id - $476,000.,1
~le spent $464,000 last year on Construction plus approx-
imately $220,000 on Development Roads, including,Township
of Bayham Road, or a total of approximately $684,000),
ht g Mil~s the additional, County lfuney raised is
(2) ($57,SOO,000) = $115,000 thus meeting 8230,000 of the
needs.
The D. H. O. will provide 47% 0+ $1,046,000 or $49l,620~
Thus meeting approximately $607,000 of the total $1,046,OOr
At 8.5 Mills the additional County ~1onev raised is
" ".......-... ~,. <\. ,
2.5 ($57,500,000) = $143,750 thus meeting $287,590'0+ the
needs. The D. H. O. will meet 71% of need$ of.$1,046,OOO
or $742,660. Thus meeting approximately $1,030,000 of the
total needs.
ll.t 8.6 M~lls. the addition91 County ~1oney raisE~d. is
2.6 ($57,500,000) = $149,500 thus meeting $299,000 of th~
needs. .The,D. H. O. will me~t 16% of the needs of $1,04~ nr

Thus the desirable Hill Rate r.r the optimum ()mount of
",rect fiid is approximately 8.53 Mills obtained by a Graph;""--

Ls our assessment ,is not quite Provincially Equalized, a
~actor to bring the County Assessment to Provincially equaliz-

Total Additional CQunty Money raised is $80,500
( 1.4 Mills on $57,500,000 Assessment)
Total Ldditional Money from D. H. 0,.
In Subsidy $80,500,
In Direct ~id ~llocattons $742,660 - $303,340
or approximAtely $439,000.
hs the amount levied in 1966 also governs the Amount of
Direct ~id for 1965 this amount is double or approximately
$878,000.
Thus the total benefit,from Countv ~xpenditure Qf 1.4 Mills
more ($80,500) is $878,000 plus $80,000 or $958,000
or a Subsidy rate of about 91.5%.
However in this desirable Mill RRte the following things
are NOT considered:
1. Bridges NOT on County Roads
2. Cost of Upgrading deletions.
These costs by the County do not count toward the allocatil
of Development Road ~id although Subsidy is payable at the
usual rate.
(Estimated costs this year:
Mapleton and McNiel Bridges - $10,000 to County
\ Road 52 and Road 54 - $16,000 to County
These amounts will be Dearly met by estimated surplus
from 1965 which is $23,500).
FUTURE N~Jl.,DS in 6 to 10 year Periods - apprQx:i.mC)te1y
$3,019,DOO (minimum)
$2,606,.000
Left from 1 to 5 year Period
(70% completed)
~~
$5,625,000 /
Scheduled for the 1 to 5 year perios is $6,080,000
In 1965 needs costing $607,000 estimated at *699,000 were
done (87% of estimate). It is likely that the estimates for
Construction are perhAps 80 - 85% accurate for the present ti~
but are likely to become closer as future years bring higher
costs.
Fixed costs are likely quite ~~se ClS the higher present
costs (probably toward $470,000 this year) might be offset in
future years by lower maintenance costs on rebuilt roads.
