COUNTY ENGINEER'S REPORT, The following is the report of County Engineer, Mr. T. ft. Patter - eon, presented at the January meet- ing of the Huron -County Council: To the Warden, and Members Huron County Council.. Gentlemen : - I beg to submit my report on the work or the County Road Department for the year 1928. During the year the county roads were generally kept in excellent con- dition, which result was the objective set in the spring. At the same time a great deal of eitrfacing has been done, so that they should be improv- ed in this respect over the ,condition of 1927, An increased amount of scraping has been needed, partly on account of the spring conditions, which were so destructive to the roads, and partly caused by the necessity for this work, if the roads are to be kept in proper condition, Labor was very scarce during the season since the farmers were gen- erally busy on their farms, as rainy weathee caused a very short work- ing ReaSOn. It is expected that less and less farm help will .be available in the futine, as many find that, e'lien working on the road, there are Jobs at home left undone. Were it not for the triicks and power machinery, it would have been irtmossihle to carry out the work. • A record of the, cc:et .andeoperatien of our power grade, for 492.f3his•as follows: .•••••,,,'". • Grader NO, INo.2' 'No. 3 Miles travelled 4328 , 3040 4634 Gallons of gas 2362 1649 1233 Onarts of oil 307 • 190 188 Cost of oper.$ 365,80 $ 460.35 $ 40231 (including •-'77--""'"""e""h•" T $AFORTli and Carry , Redpath- Sugar $5,79 NORTH STAR FLOUR ........... . „, ,.....$3,69 PURE CLOVER HONEY, Per 10 Pounds .

Total.cost of 3 graders$4,780,3 • The total expenditure for draggin in 1928 was *25,11'6.66, so that the co a the power machinery was about 1 per cent. of the total, while it is m opinion that they did nearly 50 pe cent. of the work. 'Phe report -on ou truck operation Shown in the repo of the County .Road Commission mad at the December meeting of the Com ty Council shows that the operation of labor-saving machinery saves many dollars for the taxpayers. 'Onr remolielled crushing plants are much 411.0Ve satisfactory of operation, although the cost of rebuilding is con- siderable. These plants produce a cres.hed material, all of which passes a one inch ring, and is .generally three quarters of an filch down. This is the quality needed,.and as the opera- tion is continuous there is no waste of material and labor. For remodel- ling the next outfit, it is proposed to install a dragline to obviate the neces- sity of teams in the pit. Taken altogether this is an .age o inachinery and improvedmethods. When machinery was ,first introduced into Britain to replace hand labor in the milis, there were riots among the workmen when protesting against the introduction of these machines. It was soon found, however, that the machinery was a boon to the •worker, as well as to the owners, since it marked the beginning of an era of in- dustrial prosperity and expansion in which all shared, and -from which the worker emerged with a higher wage and a higher standard of living. The present prosperity. of the Unit- ed States is based primarily upon efe ficient fethods, and the use of ma- chines to an extent that is hard to realize, so that costs are cut away be- low those that formerly prevailed. History shows that those peoples who have taken advantage of improved machinery have been the 'prosperous peoples, while those who have held to primative methods have retained a low standard. of living. The empty farm -houses we see about the county is a condition attendant upon the change to larger farms, and more ex- tensive use of machinery. The amount of energy given off by burning a pound of coal may be mea- sured, but it is foupd that when this energy is transformed by means of a steam engine, at least 75 per cent. -has been lost in the process. This is one llustration of thousands of instances rt. w-hich scientists are working to eliminate evaste and promote efficien- cy, and the improvements of the fut- ure will be as great as those of the past. If we, in this County, wish to take aclvaatage of changing times, we nust keep abreast of inodern prac- ices. The County of Huron is a arge corporation, and must do its usiness as a • large corOoration. There are too many, when thinking f the affairs of the County, who can- ot see them in anyother light than hat in Which they view their own af- airs, but the business of the County, nd of that pertaining to highways articularly, affects so many in so many .different ways that it is neces- ary to look at it in a very broad way. Many innovations' have been intro- uced into highway methods in the )ast, and it is expected that more will e found expedient in the future. These will take the form of improve- ments in material handling equipment o cut down the amount of hand labor nd reduce costs, such as, - 1. More extensive use of trucks and ower graders. 2. Use of power shovels. 3. Use of selfloading scrapers haul - '1 by crawling tractors. 4. Use of dragline excavators, Peeple are now demanding many mprovements that were not thought ecessary ten years ago. They are sking for smoother roods; roads teet- er protected by guard fences; dust limination; improved signing of the ighways; snow removal in winter for ars; improved grades; improved urns; increased visibility on hills; nods that • will be serviceable the ear round; improved drainage, etc. 11 of which are generally found to he rofitable improvemente and much as been expended in carrying out hese things as far as our finances will emit. ' 'Belt we have to take care, today, df entice' greater traffic than formerly. This county is the only county in he Province which has not yet held policy of insurance against loss ram clamages'clue-to accidents on the ighways. As on individual, 1 am le one who should be primarily most teres -ted in having the county adopt tch a policy, as it would cover pos- ble neglect on my part or on the art of my organiaation, However, e attitude which T have always held , that the intention of the law re- ardieg the matter, is to make. the unicipality conscious'of responsibil-- y, and eause the authoeities eeessary to keep the highway safe, smolt of insurance premiums will nt prevent acciderrte, but- the. Inetir- nce is no doubt tending to defeat the urpnee of the legislation, and to my ind ehould not be permitted. During 28 we have fmt had to pay' any 5 claims for damages, but we may have soirne to pay at any time. The insur- ance rates charged for loss through aocidents show us that the total loss' in this respect to the public is enor- mous. • Furthermore, the loss of life, at the present rate, through traffic ac- cidents, is appalling. It has been com- ImMd that at the present accident rates in the UnitecleSTates, considering a fifty year life time of driving, one in every twenty will he involved at some time in a fatal accident, iThe arepointment of a traffic officer duringthe year has, 1 believe, made a i great mprovement in 'conditions, but so far a great clea•I of the work has been educational. A large part of the trouble arises .frorn the fact that, to be known as a good driver, one must be recognized as a fast driver, A good driver is really one who makes speed on the straight clear road, and slows down for all traffic and turns, and drives carefully and slowly wherever there is obstructed vision, or the least danger. If the young reckless speed- er can be made to realize -that he is simply posing as a fool in the eyes of others, -then his desire to step on the gas will be •greatly coaled. Safety of the traffic on the high- ways is one of our greatest prob- lems and I do not think we should consider the liability imposed by the Municipal Act, but I think that thought should be ,given to making the roads as fool proof as 'possible. As long as there are roads and cars there will be aecidents, and the care- less and the reckless damage others as much as they do themselves. • No workmen were injured to any, extent while carrying out the work of the year and it has not been neces- sary therefore to pay ant anything for compensatio'n. This county has been carrying its own insmance in this respect, too, and so far we have been very fortunate, so much so, that a heavy loss now would not be so burdensome.
