four feet high and twelve feet long which waS within 18 feet
of the limit of the road allowance. Mr. Leverton pointed out
that the County Set Back Law prohibited any structure within
35 feet of the property line. Reeve Lyle reported that he
had received co~plaints that the sign was too close to the
t'oad. Reeve Hodgson stated that he would have the sign moved
back to the proper distance as it had been the intention of
t.he Elgin Manor Committee to set the sign back further from
t.he road allowance.
THE ENGINEER REPORTED that he had :met on Marbh 19,
1974 with the County of Middlesex Road Committee and London
Suburban Road Commi ss ion regarding Radio- Hub'rey Road and

THE COUNTY OF ELGIN ROAD COMMITTEE met ()n March 7, 1974
at the County of Middlesex Administration Building, Ridout Street,
London, Ontario.
ALL MEMBERS EXCEPT Reeve Caverly and Reeve Dennis were in
attendance.
ALSO PRESENT WERE R. G. MOORE, Elgin Coullty Engineer,
A. Auckland, W.E. Rowe and J. Hindley of the St. Thomas Suburban
Roads Commission, Chairman Phil Chapman and members of the London
~/'
Suburban Roads Commission, Warden Nelson <~ of Middlesex County,
Chairman Don Nisbet and members of the Middlesex County Road Committee,
F.B.D. Arnold Middlesex County Engineer, Ron E:ddy Clerk-Administrator
of Middlesex County, H. Greenly and B. Sims of the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications.
THE WARDEN OF MIDDLESEX WELCOMED the members from Elgin County
to the meeting and introduced the members. Wclrden Lake and Chairman
McKillop replied for the County of Elgin.
THE ELGIN COUNTY ENGINEER WAS REQUESTED to explain the Road System
in the St. Thomas-London Area.
It was pointed out that:
(1) The M. T .C. had abandoned plans for the Extension of Highway
126 from Highway 401 to St. Thomas i.n the planning period.
(2) That 1986 traffic projections were: 12,500 vehicles on
Highway 4, 10,500 vehicles on Wellington Road and if Radio-
Hubrey Road Link was built to a reasonable standard 4,500
vehicles would use it daily.
ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO.
MARCH 7, 1974.
PAGE 2..
(3) That the Elgin end of the road was :Ln very poor
condition and that the portion near St. Thomas was
being used by 1,000 vehicles daily ~:lnd the road would
have to be improved in the near future.
(4) Improvement of the Elgin end of the road would lead to
increased traffic on the Elgin end and thus create a
demand for improvements on the Middlesex end.
(5) Pro jected costs under the present NE!eds Studies were
approximately 40% of the Elgin sectjlon costs and in
Middlesex, projected costs showed spot improvements
only.
(6) The future M.T.C. plans called for the reversion of
Highway 74 to the Counties of Elgin and Middlesex.
(7) That heavy traffic between London and St. Thomas was
using Highway 74 and Elgin Road 52 clnd that a Radio-
Hubrey Road would better serve this need.
CONSIDERABLE DISCUSSION fo',llowed on the proper solutions.
Inasmuch as most members of Middlesex Road Conmnittee were unfamiliar
with the road it was decided that Middlesex Rc.ad Committee and London
Suburban Road Commission should meet and look over the road and that
discussion should continue at a future time.
IT WAS DECIDED THAT the Elgin County Engjlneer should go with
the tour to explain the Elgin Road System to the Middlesex Committee.
THE GENERAL MEETING ADJOURNED.

FIRST ROAlD COMMITTEE REPORT
ST. THOMAS, ONTARIO,
FEBRUARY SESSION, 1974.
TO TRE. WARDEN AND MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL
OF THE COUNTY OF EU:;IN,
YOUR ROAD COMMITTEE BEGS TO REPORT AS FOLLOWS:
We have been Doti fied by the Ministry ()f Transportation
and Communications that the Subsidy Allocation f()r the year will
be $1,123,000. This compares with Provincial ASliistance of
approximately $1,108,000. for 1973 or an increas4! of approximately
l.35t. As inflation costs are much greater the result will be a
reduced programme of work in 1974.
WE RECOMMEND:
1. That a By Law be passed confirming By Law lE 74-2
of the Township of Dunwich closing a portion of the
road allowance between Lots 18 and 19 in Concession
VI of Dunwich Township.
All of which is re:spectfully submitted,

6V~p
February 1974.
To The Chairllllln and Members of The County of Elgin Road Committee.
Attached to this report is a proposed budget for 1974.
The M.T.C. has increased the Provincial Assistance by
approximately $15,000. for 1973 <about 1.35~). This increase has
been more than wiped out by the inflation. of the past year. Although
no tenders have been called for materials and supplies we expect the
minimum increase to be 10~ to l5~ and up to 40t to 50~ on asphalt
products. Although this budget has taken some of this increased
costs into account no budget can' reflect the total increase. Although
there are no plans for a cut back in services at tbe present time, a
review will have to be undertaken if the present inflationary trend
continues.
The budget has been developed using the latest Needs Study
Update information (1973) and M.T.C. formulas to obtain the maximum
M.T.C. subsidy. Any further increase in expenditure over the budget
of $1,669,0000 must be done without M.T.C. assistance. The average
rate without Urban Rebates is 67.64t.
CONSTRUCTION
Approximately $93,000. of the budget is for the completion of
work carried Qver from former years. Over $20,000. has been paid to
Ontario Hydro for pole line moving on Road 2 andapproxim~tely $3,500.
is payable for work on Road 1 south of Wardsville.
New work for the most part is programmed in conjunction with
the present Ministry of the Environment Sewer Project in Rodney as
excavated material for the streets in Rodney will be trucked to Road 3
grading jobs north and south of Rodney for use as shoulder fill.
$75,000. is shown for work to join Roads 8 andl 15 in Dutton.
Although the total cost of the job (other than Land Purchase) is estimated
in the order of $100,000. it is not likely that the work north of John
Street can be completed this year as the sanitary sewers will have not
been completed by fall. It is not !ike1y that any work can be done on
Road 13 (Shackleton Street in Dutton) this year for the same reason.
ieb'tua't'J 19'''.
!ale 1.
To The ChaiT1llln and tteabers of the Count' of Elgin J.oad eo_ittee (continued).
The ~epai~ and ~econst~uction of load ~l into White'S Station
is estimated at $12.000. It is not exPected that thiS ~oad will last
out the spdng b~ealr..P' The ~oad needs a .ini-- of a foot of gnnula~
base. shoulde~ing. ~esu~facing (double su~face t~eatmant) and d~ainage
imp~ovemants. No concent~ated effo~t 'will be mac\.e to pu~chase widening
but an, widening available should be pu~chased.
A ainiGUa amount ($8,000.) is budgeted fo~ construction on
the St. Thomas Suburban J.oad Co_ission J.oad s,ste.. No further funds
are available unlesS the amount shoWll fo~ Count' asphalt resurfacing
is 'te"ueed.
The alllOunt of $231.000. for asphalt resuTfacing for 1914 ....5
subaitted to the M.T.C. in 1913 and approved in its entiret,. While
it is c\.esirab1e that IllOst of this allocation should be left for thiS
purpose it provides the onl, reserve fo~ additional Suburban J.oad
Co_ission work and as a reserve if the cost of any p~o}ect haS been
unde~estimated because 0 f inflation etc.
Asphalt resurfacing is badl, needed on J.oad 14 f~o. High....'
3 to lona Station and on J.oad 4~ betwean Calton and lIount Saleta. The
prioritieS of the rest of the prog~a~ will have to be conside~ed
against the needs of the rest of the road progr.... and systea.
~~ANg
for the most part. maintenance iteas reflect 1913 work at
1914 prices. Howevar winte~ control costS ,a~e up sharpl~Over $65,000.
bas been expended to date this year.
G~avel resurfacing should be done on J.oa4 18 and J.oad 20
north 0 f Road 18 in southWOld and Road 9 between Roacls8 and 14 in
Dunwich. The remainder of Roads 9 and 5 should be gravelled in 191~.
present gravelling policY is approximatelY 1,000 tons pe~ taile about
every 4 or 5 years. Road$20 and 18 were last gravelled in 1969 and
'Roads 9 and 5 in 1.970.
Febru.ary 1974.
Page 3.
To The Chairman and Hembers' of The County of Elgin Road Committee (continued).
Surface treatment costs will increase greatly as the price
of emulsion DUlY go beyond 30 cents,per gallon from last year's 20.4
cents per gallon. Centerline marking paint increased from $2.40 to
$3.40 per gallon last summer and no new price is as yet available.
Calcium chloride prices are up approximately 121 for material and
all haulage rates are increased.
Estimates for drainage assessment costs are for those drains
now under ByLaw and thus likely to be completed and billed to the
County this year. There is no allowance for any work from any reports
that have not yet been received.
OVERHEAD
Overhead costs will again be higher in 1974.
This increase is due in most part to increased wages but
increased benefits le$islated upon us by other Governments (U.I.C.,
Workmen's Compensation, etc.) have also contributed significantly.
Rehabilitation to both the White's Station and Pleasant
Valley pit ar.!as must be undertaken to obtain licenses from the Pits
and Quarries Branch of the Ministry of Natural Resources so that
granular and fill materials can be obtained from either as needed.
Our Garage costs remain high as we are still in the process of moving
from one Garage to the other and sorting materials, parts etc. While
most of this cost is shoWl'll in the Machinery and Housing Section, some
will appear in Garage Costs.
Ovelrhead Credits are reduced this year from last year as
there is no Winterworks Prograllllle this year to absorb par't of the
costs.
URBAN REBATES
The Urban Rebates for 1974 are estimated at 25% of the Urban
Municipality Road Levy as in 1973.
It will be necessary to increase the 1973 Levy of $540,000.
to $560,000. in 1974. This covers the under expenditure on St. Thomas
Suburban Commission roads {approximately $12,000.> and the cost of the
sweeper. {The rental of sweeper but not the initial cost will be
subsidized.>
