Minister of Highways: "I have your letter of November 7th, requesting the extension of the Development Road designation on the Base Line in Darlington Township through the Town of Bowmanville to its east limits. Tffi Highway Improvement Act restricts Devolopment Road designations to roads and streets under the jurisdiction of counties or townships. Thus I am unable to extend the present designation on the Base Line easterly. I must emphasize that the designation of the Base Line cannot be construed to be a service road. Service roads are constructed where access to property has been severed and where it is more economical to build an aCCESS road than to compensate for the loss of access. The Base Line was a public highway prior to 401 being established and cannot be considered a service road. I regret that I am unable to give consideration to your request. The only means by which the extension of the Base Line through Bowm1J,nville can be improved is under normal subsidy arrangements." Moved by Con. Hooper and Hughes: That the letter received from the Minister of Highways in respect to the Town's request for consideration of the Base Line Road as a development road, be received and filed.

Dempsey, Professional Engineer appeared before Council and presented the following report;, . "I have surveyed storm drainage requirements in the area bounded by King St., Liberty Sti, Concession Road and watershed running from Horsey and Concession Road, through Elgin and Wellington, ' Temperance and Church St. ,to King at Division St. The area out- lined is about 113 acres. Two existing outfalls east of Liberty St. influenced the layout of sewer system. To serve the northerly part of the area it is proposed to construct a storm sewer on Carlisle Ave. from Liberty St. to Centre St., extending up Centre to Lowe and running along Lowe and Horsey St. to a man hole on Horsey opposite the school. I have referred to this entire sewer as the Carlisle AVe. storm sewer. The estimated cost of the Carl- isle Ave.. sewer is $11,690.00 The estimated D.H.a. subsidy- 2,165.00 The balance payable by Town- :/9,535.00 The Carlisle Ave. storm sewer will drain into an existing outfall sewer at Liberty St., and Liberty Place. This outfall sewer spills into an open ditch about 160' east of Liberty St. but the ditch is shallow and on a flat grade and is consequently blocked by ice and snow during most of the winter season. It would be necessary to extend the present outfall sewer in pipe for an additional 700' to have unobstructed flow at all times of the year. The est- imated cost of the outfall extension is $2975.00. It is proposed to_construct a second storm sewer running from the existing man- . . . . VIII -7- The outfall line running from the existing manholes at Church ffid St. George appears to be in good condition." This report of recommendations contained therein is to be received when the 1963 Roads & Streets Programme is being prepared. ADJOURNMENT Moved by Reeve Little and Con.
