COUNTY ROAD COMMITTEE
A by-law has been, prepared
which will provide sick -leave bene-
fits for•Huron County Highways De-
partment employees • identical to
allose already being received by
the remainder of Huron County
employees. We recommend that
this by-law be approved,
Since the grelter percentage of
employees of the county are road
employees, and since we have sev-
eral employees with more than 30
years' service, we telt that ' the
clause which made the sick -leave
benefits retroactive to commence-
ment of employment was rather
liberal. It would cost the county in
the neighborhood_ of $20,000.00 -to do
this. We do feel, however, that the
benefits should be retroactive for
a certain period of time and de-
cided that. 10 years would be a
reasonable period. We ,also feel
that it would not be fair to the
Highways Department employees
to have benefits that were not eq-
ual to those being received by the
remainder of County of Huron em-
ployees, and would suggest that the
original by-law be amended to in-
clude this 10 -year retoractive
clause. If council does not see fit
to amend this clause in the orig-
inal bylaw we will have" no, alterna-
tive but, to have these benefit
sr e-
troactive to commencement of em-
ployment for' highways employees
and absorb the cost as mentioned
above. The •by-law providing for
sick -leave benefits for highways
employees must be approved by
the Municipal Branch of the De-
partment of .Highways and there
is some question as to whether they
would approve a by-law which con-
tained a clause which made sick -
leave benefits retroactive from
commencement of employment. If
this department refuses to accept
this retrocative clause •it would be
necessary for the county to pay
100 Per cent of the sick -leave bene-
fits for the retrocative period, The
Department of Highways will, how-
ever, subsidize sick -leave benefits
for any reasonable ,retroactive per-
iod and will' subsidize at the rate
of 50.per cent any future sick -leave
credits. ►
A by-law has been prepared in-
creasing the,,Engineer's salary by.
$250.00 per year, We recommend
that this by-law be approved,
At the 'January session of County
Council the Road Committee was
requested to 'study the question of -
rebates to urban municipalities. We
recommend that the,grant to urban
municipalities under Sections 55
and 56, The Highways Improve-
ment Act, R.S.O., 1957, be increas-
ed from 40% to 45%,
A by-law has been prepared ex-
propriating certain lands in the
Township of McKillop, from Lot 25,
Concession 4, in the Township of
McKillop: This is the land required
to construct the new 'bridge ap-
proaches for the proposed new
bridge north of Seaforth, We re-
-commend that this by-Iaw be ap-
proved.
A by-law was passed approxi-
mately a year ago which made it
illegal for Huron County employees.
to become unionized. At that -time
the Road Committee suggested,„fit
the Huron County Highways-
partment employees that they
form their own employees' ass¢'cia-
tion and suggested that they meet
with the' Road Committee to dis-
cuss any grievances which they
might have. 'Subsequently in Janu-
ary 'of this year, representatives of
the Duron County Employees' As-
sociation met with the Road Com-
mittee and requested that we: (1)
provide for sick -leave benefits, and
(2) increase the" hourly rate. Af-
ter considerable discussion apd in-
vestigation, the following hourly
rates were sets For labor, $1.00-
$1.20 per hour; truck driver, $1.30
per hour; machine operator, $1,.30-
$1,40 per hour; skilled labor, $1.30•
$1.40 per hour.
Since all Court House employees
received increases, in salary in
January, and since we increased
the hourly rate to Huron County
employees by l0c per hour, it was
felt that we should increase the
foremen's rate. It was decided to
increase the foremen's salary by
$250.00 per year. Under the new
schedule the foremen receive from
$337.50 per month to $450.00 per
month, depending on type of work
and length of service.
Your committee . was advised
that the rates we have been pay-
ing for rented. trucks for the past
several years were note' below that
being paid by other concerns doing
similar work,ppd that we would
have considerable difficulty in hir-
ing enough trucks to carry out our
construction work. It was there-
fore decided 'to increase the rate
being paid hired trucks in line with
that being paid by others, the new
rate being: 5 -yard truck, $4.00 per
hour; 6 -yard truck, $4.50 per hour;
7 -yard truck, $5.00 per hour. This
rate includes the driver who is
not a Huron County employee,
and therefore does not receive the
'fringe benefits reeeived by em-
ployees.
We recommend that the persons
holding the following positions be
appointed by the Magistrate as
"Special Constables" for the pur-
pose of enforcing the provisions of
the Iiighvvay Traffic Act, and more
partieularly that" section dealing
with load limits and half loading
restrictions: 2 maintenande 'fore -
Men, 1 construetion , foreman, 1
bifid fllr h' nn, 1'"gefidrat'foi�emlirl,,
1 road superintendent. - George
McCutcheon, Chairman.
PROPERTY COMMITTEE
The. Property Committee -met
'with representatives of the Frank
Cowan Company in connection -with:
County insurance following the sur-
veys submitted in the year 1959.
Your Property Committee re-
4ommend that the Court House,
Registry Office, Jail, and the con-
tents of these buildings be all in-
sured on a, replacement cost basis
as outlined in the survey of insur-
ance:
Property Buildings Contents
Co Ho$775,000
art use $125,000
County Jail 110,000 • 4,000
Governor'g Resi-
dence ,. ,,,, ,,. 26,000 Nil
Registry Office 60,000 35,000
We recommend other insurance
as follows: boiler insurance as out-
lined in the survey, Courf-House,
$100,000; County Jail, $50,000, a
blanket bond -insurance of $25,000.00
on employees, plus $25,000,00 ex-
cess on the Treasurer; burglary in-
surance of $3,000.00; County Coun-
cil and officials accident policy of
$5,000.00; extra compensation cov-
erage, non -automobile coverage,
valuable papers coverage at $35,-
000.00 on the Registry Office and
$5,000.00 on the Court House; and
that weed spraying be added to the
county policy.
Several items have been author-
ized for your committee such as
follows:, Fi -extil)i uishers for both
Jail and Registry Office; shelving
for the County Library; typewriter,
desk, chair, for the Sheriff's Of-
fice; new•sink for the County Jail;
and extra heating at the County
Jail, Jail uniforms were purchas-
ed from Pridham's Men's Wear, of
Goderich; tenders were received
from three Goderich • merchants
and Pridham's was the lowest ten-
der. the price being between $75
and $80 per .uniform.
The work at the Registry Office
is now underway and is being car-
ried out by Mr, Henry T. Young.
of Clinton.' Mr: Young's tender of
$2,915.56 was accepted for the work
plus 35c per square foot if any of
the old cement had to be removed.
This price will be subject to slight
variation due ' to existing condi-
tions.
The committee recommended
certain changes in the office ac-
commodation in the third floor;
that Magistrate Glen Hays be giv-
en larger quarters, and that the
Family Court room be incorporat-
ed into one of the jury rooms,,, at
the rear of the court room.
The committee recommend that
a paint program be commenced in
the Court House and that approxi-
mately $1,00p.00 per year be spent
until the work has been completed.
The work will be under the direc-
tion of Mr. James Sheardown.
We recommend that the Cana-
dian Arxny Recruiting station be
granted the use of one of the wit-
ne'ss rooms each week for ,inter-
viewing purpose. The same priv-
ilege is' now extended to the. Air
Force, and therefore we would ap-
preciate council endorsing the said
recommendation.
The matter of County Insurance
Commissions is, new under discus*
sign by your committee and a re-
port will be maide at a later date.
-Art Gibson, Chairman.

age on the Museum as follows:
Buildings, $85.500, and content$,
$32,500; this insures the ,building
and contents on -a' replacement cost

county insurance.
We recommend
to county council

• ing the addition started in 1959.
We would recommend that Mr.
Harry McCreath be appointed as-
sistant curator of the Museum at

highway is completed is again un-
der consideration by your Historic

ing sought in connection with
sa me.
There is no further report at the
present* time in connection with
the History of Huron County being
prepared by Professor Scott. -...Dan

mates for the year 1960, as out-
lined . in Report No. 18, 1960, be

lished at 6,9 mills for general pur-
poses and 7.0 mills for highway

AGRICULTURAL
AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEE
Your Agricultural Committee
held a meeting with representa-
tives. from the -Junior .Farmers in
connection with their proposed sign
program.
Sometime ago the Junior Farm-
ers did undertake a program where
they intended to place signs at
suitable points on main highways
within the county, particularly
close to the county boundaries.
However, due to Department of
Highway regulations,the program
was not carried out. Now, it is the
wish of the Junior Farmers that
we again attempt to organize the
program' and, if possible, bring it
to a satisfactory conclusion.,
The Agricultural Committee have
made a grant of $50 towards the
project and will await a further re-
port from ,the Juniott Farmers
when they have completed one sign
end have said .sign .ereeted in aer'
c¢rdaxee with Department of High-
way regulations, If the 4progrrana
proves to be satisfactory, we would
recommend that an ,allocation .of
$500.00 be made ,in 1.960 for . this
Purpose.
We would recoulmend to County
Council that Mr„ Alex Chesney be
again. engaged as County Weed
Iiyspeetor, and .that his salary be
increased from 90c to $1.00 per
hour, plus 8c mileage, effective
January 1, 1960; and that a by-law
be prepared accordingly.
Tenders are: being called fpr the
supply of chemicals for the weed
program for this year; however,
these tenders are not due at the
present time and therefore no re-
port can be made at this session
of county council -Valentine Beck-
er, Chairman.
