ST. THOMAS, ONTltRIO,
FEBRUARY, 1968.
TO THE CHAIRMALN & MEMBEiS
OF THE COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE
GENTLEMEN:
ATTAcm:D TO THIS REPORT is a Proposed Budget for 1968.
The present Ccnlnty Road System. is composed of appx'oximately 300
miles of Road" of which 22 miles are under the jurisdiction of
The 8t. Thoma'3 Suburban Road CO'm'Q!JissiQn. The Total mileage of
Roads is the same as in 1967.
t
THE PROPOSED BUDGET, totaling $1,600,000, is based on
an expenditure of 10.2 Mills to obtain the maximum entitlement
for DIrect Aid Allocated from the Ontario Department of Highways,
and an additilonal 0.2 Mills to cover the cost of the Orwell
Bridge and certain unsubsidized expenditures, and the County's
share of the Winterworks Program~..
MAINTENANCE COSTS
MOST MAINTENANCE EXPENDITURES are based on past trends,
with a slight increase to take care of increased costs.
WINTER MAINTENANCE COSTS are based on previous costs,
and costs are estimated on a payment for "services rendered"
basis in the calendar year. In the past, (until 1967) many
t,
,~
costs incurred in December have not been paid until the next
year (January).
SURFACE TREATMENT WORK in 1967 was cut back to obtain
funds for oth.er projects, and approximately 40 miles of work
is the minimum work necessary.
GRAVEL RESURFACING COSTS should be somewhat lower, as we
continue to i.mprove a small mileage of Gravel Road yearly.
Count,r trucks are presently, as tim.e permits, applying
qravel on Roads # 26, 29, 31 & 51, in the area north of St.
Thomas, and ,rest of Road If 30.
Road 37, Middlesex County Line, from Hiqhway # 73 to the
Oxford Ceunty Line should also be gravelled.
Money is also estimated for Spring Breaku;p, &8 well.
"
:rO GHAIRMAN &: MEMBERS, ELGIN COUNTY ROAD CGmITl'EE
PAGE 2
IT IS HOPED that Repairs to Pavement Cost will be reduced
from last year.
GRADING WORK: has been split into 2 categories, Grliding,
which is dragging of Roads, and Roadsi,df:l Mainten~. The
names have been changed to assist in accounting,
DUST CONTROL, WEED CONTROL, BRUSHING, SIGNS, RAILROAD
PROTECTION COSTS will re\llllin reasonably constant. PAVEMENT
MARK:ING COSTS sill increase, because the lllge carry Oyer of paint
from 1966 to 1967 has been reduced.
GUIDE RAIL WORK: should be greatlY increased, as little work
has been done in the past several years and most Guide Rails need
minor repairs and painting. Work scheduled for Road II 43 between
Richmond and Calton was not completed, and should be completed.
DRAINAGE COSTS are increased because of the large increase
in the number of catch basins, drains, etc. on County Roads, in
the past few years, and the assumption by the County of certain
drainage work in Urban areas. Some. costs incurred in repairs
to a drainage system on Road II 14, in Iona, have also been
carried into 1968. Drainage Assessments are at best a guess.
BRIDGE AND COLVERT MAINTENANCE COST will be increased, as
very little Culvert Replacement was done last year.
URBAN REBATES will be increased because of a small increase
in Urban Assessment and an increase in Mill Rate.
OVERHEAD COSTS are increased as they are based on total
expenditure to a large extent , rather than subsidized expenditure.
A REDUCTION IN STOCK: BALANCE will assist a heavier than
usual Maintenance Progra..",e. It would appear, however, that we
should request the Ontario Department of Highways for an increase
in our Main"tenance By-Law for 1969.
CONS'f@.CTION . GOSTS
THE CONSTRUCTION contains all items requested by the County
Road committee, at their last meeting.
The Total Construction Budqet is estimated at $1,170,000.

if the St. Tho"~s Suburban Commission elects to do Road Work. An
increase in the total Bud-qat will occur if Bridqe Work is under-
taken.
Included in.Constructioni..a portion of Urban Rebates
and Overhead, not budqeted for under Maintenanoe.
A Credit from Development Road charqes for" Machinery will
reduce the tQ~tal of the Mew Machinery expend! tures.
LAND PURCHASE COSTS are reduced from last year, as we expect
some Credits from Property in Port Burwell and from land obtained
for The Onta3rio Water Resources COlll'lJd ssion in 1966 and 1967.
MONEY IS ESTIMATED under Construotion to Improve Drainaqe
on Road /I 5 a.nd to complete Paving Work, ete. on Roads 11, 35
and 42 (Stalter Gully).
Money is also esti",.ted for Fenoing on various Development
Roads.
Money is esti..ted for Grading and Granular Base, etc. on
Roads # 3, IS, 38 and 42 (from Highway # 73 to Road # 40) and
at the Port Burwell Bridge.
BRIDGE AND CULVERT CONSTRUCTION includes the completion of
a nnmher of projects, including the Port Burwell and Belmont
Bridqe., Spring Creek Culvert, Springwater Dam, Stalter Gully and
the Bennett Drain Culvert.
Money is also estimated for Culvert Work in conjunction with
Grading on Road # 42 (including Silver Creek Culvert) and on Roads
# 3, 11, 15, 35 and 38.
A sm-Il amount of money is esti'm"ted for Pre Engineering
for Bridges on Road # 45 over Catfish and Kettle Creeks.
.
IT IS NOT ANTICIPATED that there will be any trouble
reoeiving Ontario Department of Highways approval for any work
necessary for us to obtain our optimum Development Road Aid.
However, &J)proval for Orwell Bridge may be delayed until Total
Expendi turEls throughout the Province oa.n be assessed by the
Ontario Del~rtment of Highways.

ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO,
FEBRUARY 21, 1968.
THE COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMI'1"l'~E met a t the Court
House, St.Thomas, Ontario, on Wednesday February 21, 1968, at 10:00
A.M. All members except Reeve Wm. R. Caverly were! present. Also
present was Mr. Frank Clarke, Sr. Municipat Supervisor, Ontario
Department of Highways.
" MOVE D BY: A. B. McCALLU:M
SECONDED BY: D. GILCHRIST
THAT J. B. WILSON BE CHAIRMAN FOR THE DAY.
CARRIED IJ'
THE ENGINEER REPORTED on the Work to Date as follows:
(1) Clearing had been started on Road # 20,
(2) Work on Spring Creek was continuing.
THE ENGINEER REPORTED that he, a long with Mr. T. S.
d/
Caldwell and Mr. Frank Clarke, had conferred with Ontario Department
of Highways Officials in Toronto concerning Development Roads
Construction. It appeared that sufficient money would be forthcoming
to complete Development Road #: 840 (Road # 52) and Development Road
#: 931 (Road # 20), and to start on Development Road # 972 (Road # 47).
In 1969 work would likely be completed on Development Road #: 972 and
started on Development Road # 930 (Road # 45).
It also appeared that the enti tlement earned to date
and the estimated entitlement for 1968 & 1969 would balance the cost
of present designations for pre-engineering. ThE~ Engineer felt that
the Roads programmed for 1968 could be handled by day labour const-
ruction as in the past without difficulty.
THE ST. THOMAS SUBURBAN ROAD COMMISSION was in
attendance. Problems of mutual interest, including the location of
the St. Thomas By-Pass, the Extension of Highway # 126, the Improvement
of Radio Road (Road # 30), St. George Street (Roiad # 26), and Kain's
Bridge were discussed at length. The Committee was informed that the
PAGE 2
FEBRUARY 21, 1968.
Commission had approximately $29,000.00 availab,le for Construction in
1968. It was felt that Engineering problems would not allow the
rebuilding of Kain's Bridge in 1968. Extension of Road # 22, by the
Suburban Commission, was discussed. It was felt that Construction
should be done on Roads presently under the control of the Commission.

LAND IS ASSESSED II 3 GENERAL CATEGORIES
(a) Tobacco varying from a low of $55.00 to a high of $95.00
per acre, with most No. I at $95.00 (example - Stan
Smith)
(b) Orchard land, generally at $75.00.
(c) General Fa.rm'land
.,.
(1) approximately 11. of total land, mostly in South Yarmouth
at $60.00 per acre, not really applicabl.e to County
Roads.
(2) $50.00 per acre, better land in ~outh Scmthwold,
mostly south of Fingal, and some along ~~albot Road
in South Dunwich.
. ~
'ti
(3) $40.00 and $35.00 per acre - lower clas~; farm land
( very little land under $35.00 per acre cultivated.)
(4) Pasture (Rough Land) $20.00
(5) Bush land - $10.00
Actual Assessment is done at 8510 of these figurE~s, and if the
farm is on a paved Road, $1.50 - $1.75 per acre is added to
the Assessment.
Example: 100 acres bare land" on pa.ved road, assessed at
$50.00 per acre, is assessed at $4250.DO + $150.00,

DIRECT AID B~ ONTARIO ?EPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS, FE:BRUARY 1968
A FormulaE~ of Direct Aid based on the needs of: the various
County Road Systems, a.s indicated by the Needs Stu.dy, has been
developed by the Ontario Department of Highways.
This Formulae is as follows:
2 (0.95) + 0.05
(Mill rate for Roads - 6)
( 3 )
(Unmet Needs at
6 Mills)
This Fo.ua~lae is simplified in the following t.able showing
the Mill Rate and the approximate Percentages of the Unmet Needs
\
\.
I~
that the D. Hu O. will pay toward, by Direct Aid (Development
Roads) .
6 Mills 510
7 Mills 1510
7.5 Mills 2910
8 Mills 4710
8.1 Mills 5210
8.2 Mills 5610
8.3. Mills 611-
8.4 Mills 6610
8.5 Mills 7110
8.6 Mills 7610
The Ontario Department of Highways uses certain terms, which
are defined as follows:
1. Defined Needs (in Dollars) = 10010 of Fixed Costs (in any year)
+ 7010 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 unclusive).
2.
Mill Rate is always Provincially equalized - n.ot County equalized.
3.
County mUf;t meet or exceed. 6 Mills before Dire~ct Aid is considered.
4.
Aid for 1965 and 1966 was allocated on basis olf 1966 expenditures.
1967 allocation of Aid will be based on 1967 eixpendi tures, and
1968 allo<,ation of Aid will be based on 1968 expenditures.
to
~
5.
The fact that a certain Dollar amount of Aid is calculated does
DIRECT AID BY D. H. O. continued
Page 2
not necessarily mean that the money is immediat.ely forthcoming.
It means that we are eligible for that money when it is avail-
able, and when we have received approval of pre-engineering,
etc. on approved mileages of Road.
6. The Dollar Value of the Development Road Aid will be the cost
estimated in the Needs Study, whether or not the actual cost
is more or less.
7. Fixed Costs (See Item # 1) are Costs of:
(a) Maintenance of Bridges and Roads, both COullty and
Suburban Systems.
(b) Administration and Overhead.
(c) New Machinery.
(d) Urban rebates (actual cost in any year).
All as estimated by the Consultant in the Needs Study for each
year. The County cost for these items in any year may be over
or under these estimates, except Urban Rebates.
8. 7010 (See Item :# l) was an arbitrary figure used by the D .H.O.,
apparently based on the funds they thought they might have
available.
CALL;ULATIONS.
The follow~ng figures are being used by the D. H. O. for calcul-
ation purposes, and may vary slightly from the tot.als that will
appear in the Needs Study. This is because the Delpartment has trans-
ferred several Road Items from the 1 to 5 year to the 6 to 10 year
period, and has transferred the costs of Stalter Gully from a Bridge
Need to a Road Need.
BRIDGE NEEDS (Now Plus 1 to 5 Year) $1,820,000

County Assessment (using Apportion Rates adopted in 1968) is
factored by the following Volume to obtain the Provincial
Equalized Assessment for Road Purposes. (The Assessment obtained
would not be the same as might be used for school purposes in
1969. See separate sheet.)

On the attached Sheet is a detailed calculati.on of Assessment.
The Total County Assessment (Provincially Equalized for
Direct Aid) is $72,106,718.

$432,640
1/2 Mill from the City of St. Thomas

The Cost of various Items of the Defined Needs to the County

are calculated as follows:
Cost of Bridges (Maintenance & Construction

$ 291,790
This leaves. $452,826 less $291,790 or 161,036 fo:r Road Construction
which with 50~ Subsidy becomes $322,000.
Thus our Unmet Needs at 6 Mills are -
1,216,000 less 322,000, or approximately $884,0010.
It is on this amount that Direct Aid is ca1,culated as a
percentage, using the formulae on Page 1.
By Tria.l and Error Method, we find that 8.33 is the desirable
Mill Rate.
Extra Revenue from 2.33 Mills on $72,106,718 is $ 168,008
Subsidy @ 5010 is 168,008
Direct Aid 62.281. on Unmet Needs of $884,000 is 550,555
TOTAL $ 886,571
which is nearly $884,000.
COST TO COUNTY
The Desirable Mill Rate of 8.33 on $72,106,718 will
ra i se -
$ 600,648
To this must be added 1/2 (D.H.O.) of the
Deficit of Suburban Road Commission from previous years,
and Non Subsidizable Items (1/2 of $3,600) 1,800
Thus the total amount of money needed to earn
the maximum Development Road Entitlement in 1968 is $ 602,448
To this must be added the Cost of Construction
of Bridges not on Desirable County Roads. {Orwell
Bridge, Total Cost $60,000, Cost of Bridge to County
12,000
TOTAL
$ 4,000
1,500 5,500
$ 619,948
Winterworks
Items Not for Subsidy
DIRECT AID BY D. H. O. continued
Page 5
Thus the 'rotal Amount of Money Needed is approximately
$620,000.
On the County Equalized Assessment of $59,696,883, a Mill
Rate of 10.4 will raise $620,847.
Thus to earn the maximum Development Road Enti tlement of
$550 ,555 in 1968, it would appear tha t a Mill Ra te of 10.4 Mills
will be necessary.
