The nOTtheT1Y pOTtion of this Toad is veTY close to meeting
the cTiteTea of an extension of an uTban aTteTia1 althoUgh it
maY be some yeaTS befoTe the extension is ~aTTanted to 1 mile
south of centennial. When this is ~aTTanted the Toad should be
extended to Road 4~. The location of the shopping plaza is
pTobab1Y the 1aTgest single factoT as to whetheT oT not this
Toad becomes a County Road in the next fe~ yeaTS. Until the
O.M.B. decision is Teceived, nO answeT is possible.

If Centennial Avenue is assumed as a County Road from E~m

future, the condition of the road was not to blame for the
accident. The Engineer was instructed to proceed with the
improvements and shouldering as soon as pc.ssib1e.
THE ENGINEER REPORTED on the work to date as foliliows:
(1) The Wardsville Bridge had been repait~ed, waterproofed

COUNTY OF EWIN ROAD REPORT
FIRST RE PORT
September Session
197 3
TO THE WARDEN & MEMBERS OF EWIN COUNTY COUNCIL
YOUR ROAD COMMITTEE BEGS TO REPORT AS FOLLOWS:
1.
That due to the lateness in the season of a Tender Call by the
Ministry of the Environment for Sanit~ry Sewers in th~e Village of
Rodney, it wi 11 not be possib Ie to comp lete the constl"uction planned
on Road :/13 and #4 in Rodney, and on Road #3, between Lake Erie and
Highway No. 3 in A1dborQugh Township.
Your Road Committee has replaced this proposed work with
granular base and paving work on Road 13 from Wardsville southerly
toward Rodney for approximately four (4) miles.
Granular base work has been completed and a contract let
to Walmsley Brothers Limited of Londonrat $88,434 for Hot Mix Asphalt
Paving. The paving is underway.
WE RECOMMEND:
1. That a re!lolution be passed adopting the following proposed statement
of work and expenditures for 1973 and that the statement be forwarded
to the MrG together with a resolution requesting a supplementary
application of subsidy money in the amount of $360,000.
This statement is necessary because of legislation passed by
the Province since the statement of work was adopted by the March Session
of County Council which changed the Subsidy System and the change in the
,County W01rk Program as noted aliove. The total subsidy amount of $1,,072,000
is unchanged from March.

It is assumed that the money to be allocated b~, the MrC for
Asphalt Resurfacing; New Machinery (including Garage Construction); will
be adequate.
It is doubtful if the money to be allocated by the MTC for
Maintenance and Overhead will be adequate because of inflation. The
sum of $30,000 will likely be needed, being 4-\% of the tOltal estimated
budget of $650,000.

In our spending level of $1.616,000 the MTC Subsidy Rates are
as follows:

Land :Purchase estimates are somewhat lower as Land Surveying should
be caught up to Construction by the end of the year. Rstimates are shown for
that work approved by 1972 County Council for 1973. Work on Roads #3 and 14
in Rodney cannot begin until Sanitary Sewers have been installed by the Ontario
Water Resources Commission. A tender call for the sewers is expected shortly.
Work on Road 13, south of New Glasgow, cannot begin until after Labour nay
because of the interference with summer traffic to New Glasgow.
Credits for various items amount to $40,000 and serve to reduce the
construction budget.
M A I N TEN A NeE
Included in the maintenance estimates is the sum of $125,000 for
Asphalt Resurfacing on various toads depending on the extent of the spring
breakup. A portion of the Repairs to' Pavements estimates may also be used for
Asphalt Resurfacing.
Although a downward trend in Winter Control costs have been evident
to date the costs are only $10.000 less than at this time last year and a major
saving is probably only wishful thinking.
Gravel Resurfacing is recommended for: <a) Road #52 from Road 125
to Road #30 and on Road #31. (This has been comple.ted and is only a
stopgap measure to keep the traffic out of the mud until rec.onstruction which
Our present policy is the gravelling of roads every four or five
years at about 1,,000 tons per mile. Most other maintenance items reflect normal
expenditures with exception of Signs with the added cost for erection of maximum
speed signs.
COUNTY OF ELGIN "ROAD DEPARTMENT BUDGET
1.2.11
This year the Ministry of Transportation has ~ldopted a single
) .
rate of subsidy of County expenditures(with the exception of Urban Rebates),
in p1a~e of the f~rmer rates of 50l(Woads) 80l(Brid~es) and 100l(Development
Roads).
~be Ministry has also set an expenditure level which if met or
exceeded by the County will result in a maximum subsidy from the m'c. This
expenditure level is. calculated from tbe latest Needs Study Update (1972).
Subsidy will be provided by the Ministry on all fixed costs such as
Maintenance, Overhead, New Machinery and Garages and 9~ (representing tbe
45t objective over 5 years) on the Road and Bridge Construction Needs in the
'UNow" plus "1-5 year" categoties.

The City of St. Tho~s share of the 1973 Budget of the St. Thomas
Suburban Road Commission is e~timated at $6,750. (The remainder of \ mill
assessment is used to pay the deficit from 1972 and to~provide a $4,000 surplus
towards 1974 operations).
Thus the county rate is the difference between the total expenditure
and the contributions of the City of St. Thomas and the ~~C or $532,250. (To
this must be added the items NOT FOR SUBSIDY and an amount for over expenditure).
Suggested Road Levy - $540,000.

To the Cc.unty Share of $532,250 must be added the items not for
Subsidy ($2,000) and a small over1evy so that maximum expenditures are
realized. (The effective subsidy rate as one nears maximum subsidy is 91~).
SUIgested Levy is $540.000. (County Share of 1972 had Expe'nditure was
approximately $707,000). \
If Urban Rebates on tbe Suggested Levy of $540,000 are paid at
30t instead of 2S~ the amount of Bebate becomes $40,229 (aga:Lnst $33,524 at 25~)
or an increase of approximately $6,700. Because Urban ltebat4!s a.subsidized by
the Ministry of Transportation and Communications at 5at (against an effective

COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMIT1'EE REPORT
TO THE WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF ELGIN COUNTY COUNCIL.
YOUR ROAD COlVIMITTEE BEGS TO REPORT AS FOLLOtIS:
1. That the Surface Treatment,.Surface on Road #4l0 between
Highway #3 and Mount Salem has failed for about 2/3 of
the total distance and it will be necessary to place a
Hot Mix Asphal t Surface over the entire distcince from
HighwayH3 to Mount Salem. Spring breakup appears to
be more extensive than for a number of years.
2. The County By-Law passed in September of 197:2 to
Regulate the Speed of Vehicles on County Roads has been
approved. by. the Ministry of Transportation and
Communications, and the erection of the necessary signs
is underway.
3. We have received notice' from the Minist.ry of Transportation
and Communications that the expenditure level subsidizable
by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications in
1973 will be $1,616,000. The Ministry of Tr4ansportation
and Communications has introduced a single subsidy rate
to cover Roads, Bridges and Direct (~velopment Roads).
(Except for Urban Rebates which remain at 50c7oJ On the
expenditure level of $1,616,000.
the Ministry of
Transpor'tation and Communications will provide subsidy
of $1,077,000." Although the subsidy is on a sliding
scale the effective subsidy rate is approximately 66.6%.
Any expenditure over $1,616,000. must be met entirely
with County funds.

The Following Steps are Used to Obtain the MTC and theC:ountv Share of
the Expenditure Level
<a> Need~Assessment Relationship
1,564,000 = 4.406
355,000,000
Step 1.. The assessment of 38,000,000 on the City of St. Thomas gives
a contribution of $19,000 yearly toward t:he Suburban Road
Commission. This represents $76,000 worth of work, with
Provincial share at $38,000 and County's share $19,000.
Step 2 - County's share at 1'.25 mills on assessment of 355,000,000 is
$443,750 or $444,000.
Step 3 - Remaining County Share after matching thE~ county contribution
is 444,000 less $19,000 or $425,000.
Step 4 - The Equivalent work effort is then $850,000.

Step 5 - Which combined with the Suburban Road Commission is $850~OOO plus
$76,000 or $926,000. Provincial share being $l~63, 000 an~ County
share $444,000 and City of St. Thomas share $19,000.00
Step 6 - The unmet needs at 1.25 mills are $1,562,000 le~ss $926,000 or $636,000.
Step 7 - The Pr~vincia1 share of the unmet need is (q!? plus 0.40909) X 636 =
'\i
.90909 X 638 = $578,000.
Step 8 - The total Provincial share is $578,000 plus 463,000 or 1 041,000.
Step 9 - County share is $1,562,000 less 1,041,000 less 19,000 or $502,000.
Step 10 - The Urban Rebate - @ 25% = 2 X 502,000 x 88 =
(8 X 355) - 88
9152 = 33,200
2840 - 88
Provincial share is $17,000.
Total Provincial Subisdy Allocation is $1,041,000
~OO rebat~s

Total County Share is 502,000 plus $17,000 or~oOOj
Total expenditure is $1,596,000.
Effective Subsidy Rate is 1,058 =@if tbe expenditure level is met.
1,596
To this Expenditure level of $1,596,000 must be added th~ outstanding
Development Road Aid at the end of 1972. This amount so $32,000 ~.
Therefore total 1973 Expenditure level is(~62~()~
Total Provincial Aid in 1973 is the Provincial Subsidy.. ,Allocation
