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. •

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.
