the need for additional funds has been met by levying an assessment of $1.07 per $100 valuation for municipal purposes, down {rom the $1.29 rate of last year but applied to a grossly- equ boosted valuation roll.Westmount must pay some $5,838,500 to the MUC in the coming year, some 85 percent of this collected off a $1.21-per-$100- valuation levy, up from $1.19 during 1975.The other 15 percent will come from the 60-cent surtax on individual valuations exceeding $100,000, a rate which remains unchanged.During 1975, Westmount paid out some $4,327,878 to the MUC.Continued on page two '\u2018Gotchal Some prankster let the air out of the tires of a car parked behind Weredale House, at 6 Weredale Park, between 4 and 9 pm last Wednesday.Owner of the auto found the word \u201c\u2018\u201c\u2018gotcha!\u201d scrawled on the windshield.TODAY'S WORLD Hp \u201cI've completed your will, Mr.Rumford, and FPve taken the liberty of calling in another attorney to interpret what I've written.\u201d Buses kill two women at corners Black Thursdays hav.struck Westmount for lwo consecutive weeks, as women were run over and killed by buses on the east and west ends of the city both last week and the week prior.Louise Jordan, 77, of 3111 St.Antoine street, was struck down by a turning bus at the corner of Atwater avenue and St.Antoine street last Thursday at 1:49 pm.The right rear wheel of the MUCTC vehicle ran over the woman as it was executing a right turn off Atwater onto St.Antoine.Miss Jordan died Continued on page two a Holiday arrangements THE EXAMINER next week is to appear one day early fo assure delivery before Christmas.Advertisers and contributors are asked, therefore, to note that deadline for all material \u2014 except late-breaking news\u2014is 5 pm Monday, 24 hours eorlier than usual.There will be no Examiner published New Year's week.as TR. 2 - The Westmount Examiner, Purses.Continued from page one all came on Sunday, with victims describing their assailants in each case as two teenaged boys.AL 6:50 pm, a 55-year-old woman was approached from behind as she walked near 4298 Dorchester boulevard.Two boys grabbed her Thursday, December 18, 1975 purse and ran off.Police discovered the purse later in front of 168 Hillside avenue, intact except that the $40 cash it had contained was gone.At 8:45 pm, a 70-year-old woman walking near Sherbrooke street and Mountain avenue saw one boy rushing past her, followed by another who quickly grabbed her handbag.Only $3\u2019 Fd 5.Free 5 1st, 1976.and December 31st.City of Westmount GARBAGE COLLECTION Householders are notified that there will be no garbage collection on December 25th and January Garbage normally collected on those days will be picked up on the previous days, December 24th Those areas in which the collection is made on Friday will be picked up on that day.E.A.McCavour, Eng.City Engineer.QMS SA HE ELECTRONIC ORGANS, vus 2 22000 ;

Average increase in MUC levy for Westmount property owners is 36 percent.Westmount's total municipal budget for 1976, excluding the MUC payments and schools taxes, is $10,152,755, a sum which will be met in large part by other city revenues, including business and amusement taxes, fines and provincial compensation of a share of the sales tax.Local costs up $1.4 million This represents an increase of some $1,431,000 over the 1975 budget, according to Ald.Lloyd, who blamed the increase largely on increased salaries, wages and fringe benefits to city employees, as well as a general 14 percent increase in the cost of materials to Westmount.Another $423,000 increase is the result of a debt to be paid on a municipal bond issue floated this fall.The excess Lots rejigged; McDonald's gets the green light Lots were subdivided and redivided by motions of city council Monday night, allowing for construction of both a restaurant and a new wing on a single-family dwelling.Council approved the subdivision of a lot at 4002 St.Catherine street west to allow for the construction of a McDonald's restaurant outlet at the corner of St.Catherine and Atwater avenue.where preliminary work has commenced.The subdivision will bring the proposed establishment into conformity with city plotting regulations.Lots were redivided on Lans- downe avenue to allow construction of an extension to 501 Lansdowne, proposed by the owner of the building.Mrs.S.Jacques Guillon.Both plans have been approved by the necessary official committees, Ald.Mel Nixon told council in asking for the changes.revenue ac- THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT APPRECIATED BY EVERYONE ESPECIALLY 600D FOR THE HARD-TO- SHOP-FOR PERSON EASY TO SEND AN ACTION TRAVEL GIFT CERTIFICATE rom 55% up TOWARDS: VACATION PACKAGES AIR TICKETS RAIL TICKETS CAR RENTALS NOTELS CRUISES A CALL TODAY Wa GL 738-1257 / Sat.1-7 pm.Rave: SAN 1-10 02 MF 10-10 p.m.ANADA 4982 Queen Mary Rd.Suite 39, Montreal cumulated during 1975 was attributed by Ald.Lloyd largely to increases in federal government and private-business compensation in lieu of taxes, interest on overdue taxes, a substantial increase in Quebec sales tax compensation and other provincial grants.Of the surplus, whose dollar figure he did not specify, some $321,700 is being brought forward to defray costs during 1976.Ald.Lloyd gave great credit to his predecessor, Leeds Nelson, in helping prepare the new budget which was presented only six weeks after the new city coun- cil\u2014which includes five new aldermen\u2014had been sworn into office.He said he had spent considerable time with city staff and his fellow commissioners preparing the 1976 budget, experience he considered quite pleasant when compared with the fact that he was forced to announce the increased budget and taxes.Continued from page one several hours later at the Reddy Memorial Hospital.Died instantly Dorothy Leslie Fields, 50, of Notre Dame de Grace was run over by a bus pulling away on Sherbrooke street at the corner of Claremont avenue one week earlier, at 2:51 pm, and died almost instantly.Police did not report the incident until this week.Miss Jordan apparently was preparing to cross from the north to south side of St.Antoine street, on the west side of the intersection, as the bus turned.Weather was clear and the streets dry, so it seems unlikely the woman slipped or the driver could not see her, though police reports do not indicate testimony of independent witnesses about these facts.Police arrived quickly and transported the unconscious woman to hospital.When a further police check was made at 5 o'clock that evening, a team of doctors was still trying to revive her: she was pronounced dead later that evening.A funeral service was held Monday morning.Miss Jordan is survived by a sister.Mrs.Kathleen Reddick of Decarie Boulevard in N.D.G.and cousins in Montreal and New York.Driver unaware Miss Fields was crossing Sherbrooke street from south to north, on the west side of Claremont avenue, as a bus pulled away from the corner in less-than-perfect weather.The victim reportedly slipped beneath the bus, whose rear wheel passed over her.The bus driver was unaware what had happened until someone stopped him.Police arrived at the scene and found no pulse coming from the victim.She was pronounced dead on arrival at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.Miss Fields is a native of Barbados, but has a sister living in Montreal whom police eventually located.In both cases local officials are withholding the names of the bus drivers pending coroner\u2019s inquests, which may not take place for some while.Anthony's VARIETY STORE Post Office Greeting Cards - Etc.Open 8 am to 9 pm (Sunday: 11 am to 6 pm) 4500 St.Catherine St.W.(Cor.Abbott) MUCTC BUS TICKETS a\" PE ea -r ppp 213-6351 VETERANS TAXI ASS'N as a | where were aN : | they going?The following calls were answered by the Westmount Fire Brigade during the past week.Dec.9 2:55 pm: 576 Lansdowne, defective oil furnace;

The interference of the provincial government in local autonomy and determination has brought about what Finance Commissioner Lloyd Monday night called \u2018the ogre,\u201d the Montreal Urban Community.Only a year ago his predecessor, Ald.Nelson, found it \u2018\u2018shocking \u2019 that the levy on Westmount taxpayers for MUC purposes was approaching the taxes the city was exacting for its own direct requirements.Ald.Lloyd used no adjectives\u2014perhaps he is rather more restrained, being new to office\u2014but the hard facts in his maiden budget speech spoke eloquently enough.The city's own taxes have gone up 10 percent, rather modest considering general inflation.But the MUC tax bill for the average Westmount ratepayer is up 36 percent.In both cases, wages and salaries are the principal factor.Apologists for the MUC, if there are any, must reach only one conclusion: that Westmount's administration has been exercising admirable restraint in difficult times while the MUC continues to run wild.+ + + WE have responsible local Westmount government.But there is little input from the governed and taxed into the running of the MUC, thanks to provincial law, while the provincial government itself makes not even a token attempt to substitute its authority.With the 1976 valuation roll of the island community up more than two-thirds, it was to be expected that there would be a substantial decrease in the tax rates to cover inevitable inflationary growth of spending needs.This was the case with Westmount, down to $1.07 per $100 from the $1.29 of 1975 and 1974.But the MUC levy represents sheer profligacy.It is actually up two cents from last year, to $1.19.Thus.Westmounters now are paying Continued on page five OT .and he hasnt reached Id e PRIS ef AS ed .Park

Text of letter to parents follows: This week both the home and school association and school committee met with over half of the teachers of this school for a presentation about the current government-teacher contract negotiations.The teachers are appealing to parents to inform ourselves on the present situation for teachers in the - province.The teachers\u2019 demands to the government fall into two categories: Workload and Salary.1 Workload: Class sizes: The teachers request 20-24 children per teacher rather than the present 30-38.With the present system, little provision is made for the many children who need special attention and, with classes of approximately 35 children, teachers feel it is impossible to do their job adequately.This must be corrected by lowering the pupil-teacher ratio or by putting specialists (French, art, music, gym) outside the pupil-teacher ratio and by including more psychologists, guidance counsellors, etc., within each school to help teachers with special cases.Hours: Although the public assumes teacher hours are 8:30 am to 3:00 pm the teachers explained that with the present large classes, many hours must be used during evenings and weekends for marking papers, preparing lessons and researching subjects such as science and social studies.The teachers are therefore seeking a reduced teaching-time load.II Salary: At present, a high school or elementary teacher with a university degree starts at a salary of approximately $8,000.After 15 years of teaching this reaches approximately $13,000.These rates are lower than any province in Canada.The teachers at Westmount Park school) do not want to bring the children into their situation and voted overwhelmingly against the study-session tactics.However, the majority of the union favored this pressure, so our teachers have no choice if told to hold study sessions.Instead, however, Westmount Park teachers ask parents to help them win public opinion by writing to the newspapers, requesting information by radio and by generally talking to individual citizens and to groups.Parents at both meetings were strongly in sympathy with the teachers.The school committee

Ald.Carruthers considers he will be responsible for \u2018locking after the interests of the city\u2019 in whatever way he can, a duty he does not take lightly.\u201cI've got a city-wide responsibility to comment on what everybody else is doing,\u201d he claims, adding: \u201cMy own personal past and experience has been Westmount Tsammer the Files.Thirty-five Years Ago December 19, 1940 \u201cOfficial news was received in the city yesterday afternoon that the Hon.Gordon Scott, who resides at 10 Braeside Place, was killed in rescue operations after the liner Western Prince was torpedoed in the Eastern Atlantic.The former Provincial Treasurer of Quebec, who was aboard the boat as financial advisor to Hon.C.D.Howe, lost his life when a lifeboat containing 26 survivors capsized after striking the side of a rescue ship.\u201d Twenty-five Years Ago December 15, 1950 \u201cWestmount High School classes will each put on some sort of show or skit on closing day, Friday, Dec.22.These Christmas closing day shows have proved to be very amusing and a great deal of effort is put into the staging of them by the respective classes.A prize is awarded to the winning class with consolation prizes going to the next two or three in line for honors.\u201d Fifteen Years Ago December 16, 1960 \u201cA notice board void of notices outside Calvary United Church at the corner of Dorchester and Greene, stands almost as a symbol of the end of the church's physical usefulness in the area, but not to the long and dedicated inner life of the 83-year-old church which will shortly amalgamate with Westmount Park-Emmanuel.By action of the Presbytery Dec.6, 1960, the amalgamation of the two churches was approved and a new pastoral charge will be formed beginning Jan.1, 1961.\u201d Five Years Ago December 17, 1970 \u201cThe City of Westmount does not have an \u2018option\u2019 from the CPR for its prospective public housing site on Hillside avenue, and no payment has been made on the property, but there is an offer to sell from the railway.This was made clear in a question-and-answer session between mayor.aldermen and city officials on the one hand, and former Selby street residents on the other in an after-council discussion in the city council chamber Tuesday night.\u201d \\ pretty much linked with Ward 3,\u201d where most public concern has been expressed.\u201cI know nothing about electricity,\u201d Ald.Carruthers admits.\u201cIn fact, I'm deathly afraid of it.\u201d (His own house, at 126 Clandeboye avenue, is wired for 110 volts only, and 60 amperes feed the residence, considered a bare minimum power load in this day and age.) Examines relighting program He will have some portfolio concerns, however, and already he has asked his department where the street-relighting program sits right now.The answer, he says, is that the work has been set aside while officials look at new street-lighting equipment, deciding how best to appease the public while installing adequate lighting around the city.\u201cThere's nothing very civilized about that blue-green light,\u201d Mr.Carruthers says of the street lamps being installed by Westmount crews in the eastern portion of the city last year, until public pressure stopped them.\u2018I'm very sympathetic to people who object to that.\u201d Other responsibilities in his assigned field will include methods of shifting the power load to reduce maximum load factors, a project which will be undertaken by using publicity and public representation with companies and individuals, as well as new rates which were set out Monday evening by council\u2014in his absence.Ald.Carruthers takes no credit for changing a penalty-related power by-law put forward soon after he was sworn into office (notice of motion for which is still pending), nor for upping power rates (see separate article), which are completely determined by the cost to the city of power purchased from Hydro-Quebec.When Mayor Donald MacCallum chose him as commissioner of power and communications, Ald.Carruthers was somewhat down-hearted, having stepped into municipal politics from the chairmanship of the housing and zoning committee of the Westmount Municipal Association.He since has found, however, that all of his colleagues, including Planning and Redevelopment Commissioner Ald.Mel Nixon (his Ward 3 companion), offer him a high degree of cooperation.Ward 3's distinct concerns \u201cI can get as much involved in anybody else's portfolio as I want,\u201d he claims.\u201cThere's a very high degree of understanding and acceptance that Ward 3 has very distinct problems and concerns.\u2019 Having entered the political field four years ago in a losing effort to get on city council, Mr.Carruthers was heavily involved in debates about such matters as establishment of Stayner Park, the effect of the Trans-Canada Highway (Ville Marie Expressway) extension in lower West- mount, residential properties on St.Antoine street and the urban renewal program in southern Westmount.\u201cThose battles have been won,\u201d Ald.Carruthers declares, admitting that his campaign this year was based mostly on his past record, more than on \u2018\u2018battles\u2019 which have developed recently.\u201cI don\u2019t We Say.Continued from page four rather more to support the MUC than they are for their own local government.+ + + SOME persons have praised Quebec for last-minute subsidies which saved the MUC levy from being even higher, and commend just-announced statutory grants to take effect a year hence.That is all to the good.However, these steps are mere palliatives.Ald.David Carruthers sense a great deal of polarization on this council about planning and redevelopment.There are pretty clear limits on the number of offices we can have, and some scepticism about the tax benefits of highrise buildings.\u201d In the eastern part of the city, he feels everything should be done to retain the fabric along Dorchester boulevard, perhaps allowing some of the buildings to be remade as offices (the street is now zoned residential-only) in order to retain them as viable structures.The moving of the Metro station to Marlowe avenue instead of at Claremont avenue, will, in his view, hurt the development of the western part of Westmount, specially Victoria avenue.Ald.Carruthers admits he has not gained a firm grasp of all the issues facing council at this time, but looks at the rise of city costs and the Montreal Urban Community as related and serious enough problems to demand much of his attention during the coming weeks.Service shrinkage seen \u201cWe may have to look at some absolute shrinkage of service,\u2019 he says of the local tax situation.\u201cIt\u2019s the wrong way to go about it but it may be inevitable.\u201d Of the MUC, he titles it \u201c\u2018one of the most repressive systems of government I've had the pleasure (sic) of working under.\u201d \u201cMayor MacCallum has got a fairly effective working agreement with the suburban mayors, and even with some Montreal councillors,\u201d he adds, while pointing out he plans to keep a careful watch over the MUC despite his mayor's activities.\u2018I have lots of suggestions for them.\u201d Now that the MUC has been firmly established, Ald.Carruthers believes Mayor Drapeau and the City of Montreal generally may feel a greater need for suburban support, so that attitudes be- To own or even rent city property is becoming a mug's game.Plainly guilty must be the provincial government, which not only has legislated the urban dweller into this box but evades its real responsibilities of rejigging revenue sources so that municipalities may breathe.Westmounters: hrace yourselves for the receipt of those tax bills early in the new year; Be thankful for a skilful and efficient Westmount administration, and Remember the MUC as a Bourassa Liberal monument.tween the smaller municipalities and the core city may change noticeably.The present action as regards valuations\u2014with incredible rises in tax assessments of residential property outside Montreal proper\u2014is no indication of this trend, however.He intends definitely to protest the increased valuation of his own home, on the basis that commercial and industrial assessments were not increased comparably, rather than claiming inequities between Montreal and the suburbs.While questioning the use of valuations in tax procedure, he has yet to think out all the implications of the system before proposing an alternative.He feels, however, that the tax base can be increased under the present system without \u201cwholesale redevelopment\u201d of areas.Conversion of single- and two-family dwellings into apartments or offices\u2014 referred to earlier and proposed during the zoning by-law revisions this summer\u2014 might be one way of accomplishing this.Taught at Western As a layman, Ald.Carruthers is director of industrial relations services for the Canadian Pulp and Paper industry, a job which keeps him extremely busy right now providing labor negotiators with information to use while bargaining with striking unions.A graduate of the University of Toronto, (his native city), Mr.Carruthers received an MA from the University of Western Ontario, then taught there for two years before moving to Westmount in 1968.While he claims he had \u2018\u2018no interest in politics whatsoever\u2019 when he arrived in Westmount, Ald.Carruthers joined debate over the highway and other issues soon after he arrived here, then ran for council, almost unaware how he got in a position to do so in such a short time.During this year's campaign, he heard many complaints about parking problems and dogs (besides the innumerable discussions about development and zoning), but little of which he was not already aware.\u201cI'm pretty well plugged into the area,\u201d he claims.Ald.Carruthers and his wife Dorothy have two children, Jonathan and Patrick, who are members of Grades 3 and 1, respectively, at Westmount Park School.TT ALE St 4 am oe 2 É D) pfore the holidays ; l Please take fair heed | Of every plumbing | And repair need.JOHN WATSON | (Quebec)

Thursday, December 18, 1975 Homeowners get joit, big landlords benefit Most Westmount ratepayers face an unpleasant surprise in mid-January when they receive their 1976 municipal tax bills.Taxes will be up between 10 and 40 percent and more for the owners of one- and two-family dwellings, due to the substantial re-juggling of Westmount's valuation roll by the MUC, though some apartment owners and proprietors of commercial properties will enjoy an actual drop in city tax bills for municipal purposes.Overall city revenues from property taxes will increase only 10 percent in the coming year, but even with a 17-percent drop in the tax rate, from $1.29 per $100 valuation to $1.07, the greatest burden still is on those buildings whose valuations increased the most.Properties with valuation increases of less than 20.6 percent will be taxed less than last year for municipal purposes.Only apartment and commercial buildings\u2014but by no means ali of them\u2014fall into this category.53 cents per $1 to MUC Westmount's share of the Montreal Urban Community costs has increased substantially and will actually mean a 2-cent rate increase per $100 valuation for this purpose, despite the inflated valuations.With the MUC now taking 53 cents of every property-tax dollar, homeowners face tax increases in this category even higher than the increase in valuation of their property.Combination of the two tax payments will mean increases for some homeowners in total tax to be paid of up to 50 percent\u2014 half again as much as they paid this year.In examining the taxes due on homes surveyed by The Examiner on Nov.20 (given the rates set on Monday), it can be deduced that those homeowners face total tax increases of between 24 and 29 percent, on homes whose valuations went up between 36 and 72 percent.Those buildings which had valuation increases of less than 8.8 percent (and there were some in the survey) can expect actual drops in total payments of property taxes, though this is complicated in most cases by imposition of the 60-cent surtax on valuation over $100,000, which would bring down the 8.8-percent-increase cutoff point slightly.$100 more on Irvine In real figures, The Examiner's survey showed an overall tax increase of $100 for a house on Irvine avenue, though the city taxes went up only $26.A home on Bruce avenue, which was hard-hit with a valuation increase, had city taxes upped by $30 while MUC taxes went up nearly $150.A house on Montrose avenue, which moved into the $100,000-valuation category on the new roll, saw MUC taxes move up by almost $450, added to an increase in city taxes of $200.Speaking earlier this month following deposit of Westmount\u2019s valuation roll, Mayor Donald MacCallum urged residents to await determination of the tax rates before appealing their valuations.Citizens who now wish to appeal may pick up forms available at the city clerk\u2019s office in city hall, where they can also check the 1976 valuation of the property.Lloyd measures \u2018tidy up house\u2019 for financing Ald.Alwyn Lloyd, Westmount\u2019s commissioner of finance, did some house-cleaning Monday evening as he presented three resolutions for council approval.He called for authority to borrow a maximum of $2 million next year from the Bank of Montreal if needed to cover expenses pending tax collections, thus precluding overdrafts should operating funds run out.In previous years, general revenue loans were taken out for the same purpose on a quarterly basis; now regulations allow cities to have continuously- applying loan permissions.Council also approved the appointment of Thorne, Riddell and Co.as Westmount's auditors for 1976.Another resolution saw establishment of a 12-percent interest rate during 1976 on all overdue taxes, including general, special and school levies.AMOUNTS REQUIRED FOR THE EXPENSES FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING 31ST DECEMBER 1976 Ceneral Administration Public safety,

TEXT Following is the text of the first budget speech of West- mount's new commissioner of finance, Ald.Alwyn Lloyd, Monday evening before city council: Inasmuch as this council has been in office for just over one month and it is our responsibility to present the 1976 budget within such a short space of time, I feel that a few words are required to explain the process by which this budget has been prepared.Following past practice, the budget is developed by the general manager's office and the treasurer from detailed studies of expenditure requirements and programs by each of the functional departments within the city.At the same time, the revenues and expenditures for the first nine or ten months of 1975 are reviewed in order to measure our current levels of expenditure and other requirements which might influence the new year's budget.At the same time, it was necessary to project the revenue and expenditures to the end of 1975 in order to compare with the 1975 P.Berman

previous commissioner of finance, Mr.Nelson, spent some time in reviewing the preliminary 1976 budget estimates; and each of the commissioners from the last council reviewed their department's spending estimates.I would like to acknowledge on behalf of this council the time which was spent by the outgoing council in order to make our job in this regard somewhat easier.Aided by staff I have spent some time reviewing the estimated results for 1975 and the budget for 1976 with the general manager, assistant general manager and treasurer.The figures and various supplementary analyses which have been prepared by the treasurer in order to properly review the variations between 1975 and estimated 1976 have made my review a relatively easy task.I am sure that this kind of co-operation is typical of that which will prevail in the future, and I look forward to the various assignments and responsibilities as commissioner of finance as being a very interesting and pleasant experience.One further process in the evolvement of this budget was the review by each present commissioner with the department heads within that commissioner's functional responsibility in order that each member of council would be more intimately conversant with their element of the budget.Whereas dealing with the various persons involved has been a pleasant experience, it is my somewhat unpleasant duty to have to submit a budget which results in an overall increased tax bill to all citizens.As in the past, I think it is appropriate to deal with the budget in two segments, one being the strictly local revenue and expenditures over which this council has direct control and the second, of course, being our portion of the MUC shared costs, which rather substantial bill is sent to us to 5,838, 500.4,933, 800.904,700, 5, 838, 500.Ee Ald.Lloyd Presenting budget ; 8 pass on to everyone.ç As background to the formal budget resolution which I will put forward in a few moments, I would like to draw attention to certain significant figures and comparisons with 1975 and quickly present to you the major elements of cost which will vary from one year to the next.In estimating the results for 1975, there is a strong indication that we will close the year with an excess of revenue over expenditure rather than a small deficit as originally budgeted.This has resulted principally from an increase in compensation in lieu of taxes from the federal government and other community and business enterprises, interest on tax arrears, a substantial increase in Quebec sales tax compensation, an increased Quebec subsidy for health services and a new provincial per capita grant for which we became eligible in 1975 due to the change in the regulations concerning these grants.Significant rises The 1976 expenditure budget excluding the light and power operations, will exceed the 1975 budget by approximately $1,431,000, and I will analyze the significant increases in a few moments.The revenue other than general taxation is estimated to be $747,000 in excess of the 1975 budgeted figures, and we would anticipate utilizing $322,000 of the 1975 surplus in order to balance the 1976 budget.These estimates leave us no alternative but to increase the revenue from general taxation by an amount of $414,000 over the 1975 budget levels.In order to translate this higher level of taxation required in terms of the tax rate, I would like to present the comparative tax rate figures from 1975 to 1976, firstly as if the valuation had remained constant and secondly indicating the effective tax rate ga based on the new valuations.Assuming a constant valuation, the tax rate would have been $1.42 per $100 valuation as opposed to $1.29 in 1975 which is effectively a 10 percent increase in the local tax rate.As you know, the valuations in Westmount have gone up by an overall average of one-third; but for many private dwellings, the average is considerably in excess of that.Therefore, basing the tax rate on an overall valuation of $404.8 million rather than $304.4 million leaves us an actual tax rate on the new valuations of $1.07.I would like to return to an analysis of the significant increases in expenditures from one year's budget to the next.Of the $1,431,000 increase in expenditures, $570,000 is attributable to salaries and wages Continued on page seven Mayor glad of grants for the MUC No meetings of the Montreal Urban Community council or of the Conference of Montreal Suburban Majors have been held since last week, Mayor Donald MacCallum reported to city council Monday night, so there was little to report about those organizations.The mayor expressed extreme gratitude, however, that the provincial government had found it possible to subsidize costs of the MUC Transit Commission.including 60 percent of the Lloyd.Continued from previous page and in keeping with the anti- inflation board guidelines.An additional $167,000 represents other fringe benefit costs related to employees of which the significant items are a substantial increase in the workmen\u2019s compensation rates which we must pay and additional costs to the pension fund based on recent actuarial reports.Materials and services costs will be increased by $271,000 which represents a 14 percent increase over 1975 and is essentially attributable to general price increases in the procurement of materials.The balance of $423,000 results from increased debt service costs primarily as a result of the bond issue during 1975.MUC the \u2018ogre\u2019 Now | must turn to the \u2018\u2018ogre\u201d of our budget presentation, the requirement to raise $5,838,500 from Westmount taxpayers on behalf of the Montreal Urban Community.Of this amount, $905,000 represents the special surtax on properties in excess of $100,000 valuation.Our figures are based on the reasonably valid assumption that the Province of Quebec is accepting the reduced MUC budget proposal and will be granting $60,000,000 in 1976.In comparison to 1975, we must bear an increased surtax of $200,000 and a general tax increase of $1,310,000.Not only is the overall MUC budget up by some 24 percent or $54,000,000 over 1975; but as a result of the new assessed valuations, it would seem that Westmount must bear a larger share of the overall budget.As an example, our share of the administration and Security Council costs have risen from 2.53 percent to 2.85 percent.Translated into terms of tax rates, the increased budget, assuming valuations had remained the same, would have required a rate of $1.62 for 1976 as opposed to $1.19 in 1975 or an increase of 36 percent.Based on the new valuations, this will mean a tax rate of $1.21 per $100 valuation.With these explanatory comments, it is now my duty to present the formal by-law with respect to taxation rates for 1976.\"CHRISTIE PLUMBING LIMITED Fast - Efficient © Residential @ Commercial © Industrial 24 Hour Service \u2026 484-2010 k ,5331A Sherbrooke W.operating

Service at elections wins us a \u2018thank you\u2019 Sir: As a longtime Examiner subscriber, many years a taxpaying householder and now an apartment dweller, may I congratulate you and your staff for the informative and fair way you have kept the public advised during the past pre election weeks.To see The Examiner so freely deposited in various areas for Westmounters to pick up and read makes me hope that your generous assistance and interest in Westmount will be suitably rewarded with many new paying customers in the future.Mary B.McLernon 4300 de Maisonneuve blvd.WESTMOUNT H3Z 1K8.De Maisonneuve closing: Metcalfers in favor (A copy of the following letter has been sent to The Examiner:) Mr.D.C.MacCallum, Mayor, City of Westmount, Dear Mr.Mayor, As residents of Metcalfe avenue, we would like to express our views on the closing of de Maisonneuve boulevard.From the outset, we have been in favor of this move because the nature of the street, its residential character, has been undermined ever since Western avenue became part of the one-way thoroughfare we now know as de Maisonneuve.For long the heavy traffic on the street has ignored the speed limits.The narrow span of the street puts the traffic right beside the curb, a fact which has given us much concern for the small children who pass along it on their way to Westmount Park School.The movement across de Maisonneuve for access to the park and the library is well known.Whatever the value of these reasons, we now feel that it would be unfair to consider that a proper test has been done of the effects of the closing so long as St.Catherine street remains closed at its western end.As far as our observation goes, there was a greater increase in traffic on Metcalfe after the city widened it a few summers ago than there has been since de Maisonneuve has been closed.By all means, let us have the facts about the consequences of closing de Maison- neuve, but let us have realistic facts based on a proper trial under normal conditions.Yours sincerely, Isobel Gow Iain Gow 258 Metcalfe avenue WESTMOUNT H3Z 2J1 De Maisonneuve should remain closed at park (A copy of the following letter has been sent to The Examiner:) Mayor Donald C.MacCallum City of Westmount City Hall Westmount Dear Mayor MacCallum: It has come to my attention that there are several individuals or groups who are advocating the re-opening of de Maison- neuve between Melville avenue and Academy road.I would like to record my objections to the re-opening for the following reasons: First and foremost, I am concerned Continued from page four about the safety of Westmount children.On the south of de Maisonneuve there is the artificial rink, the swimming pool and last, but not least, Westmount Park School.Great numbers of children from the area served by the School attend classes there, and a major number of them cross de Maisonneuve four times a day.Children from all over Westmount cross de Maisonneuve to skate in winter and swim in summer.When de Maisonneuve is open, automobiles use it as a through street to reach destinations in the west and north of greater Montreal, N.D.G.and Montreal West.They are in a hurry.They do not obey the 20 MPH signs through the Park at non rush hours\u2014and at rush hours they line from Lansdowne half way to Melville.The traffic pile up is bedlam.Any time of the day de Maisonneuve is safety through the park it constitutes a hazard for children.Decorate Your Home Beautifully At Prices You Can Afford.Enjoy The Prestige of Owning Original oil paintings.Your Friends Will Assume You Paid Double Or More! FROM Daily From 10 A.M.to 9 P.M.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 18, Since July 1974 de Maisonneuve west of Lansdowne has been used for two-way traffic.This includes three busy bus lines, 103, 104, and 124 going west, to say nothing of Harrison Brothers bakery trucks and extra busses from 5 a.m.on, heading to the north and west.In addition, for the last six months, 30 ton dump trucks from the subway construction parade east and west, hissing their air-brakes and clanking their steel bodies and leaving large clumps of dirt which are not cleared up on a regular basis by either the City or Miron Construction.The dirt and dust is horrible, so much so we dare not leave the front windows open and slip out the front door as quickly as possible.1 have now mentioned the traffic situation between 5 a.m.and 6:30 p.m.Later in the evening, from 10:30 to 11:15 p.m.when de Maisonneuve is open a large volume of traffic erupts along the street every night there is some attraction at the Forum.Later still the careless drivers are out and at least once a week someone bashes the stop-line concrete holder, and knocks it down with a resounding \u2018\u2018bang.\u201d FROM Famous French Galleries AT A FRACTION OF THE USUAL COST Hundred to Choose From.Landscapes - Seascapes - Still Life - Florals - Character Studies - Animals - Interiors - Street Scenes - Moderns - Abstracts - Ships - Nudes - Every Type of Subject.ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS IMPORTED FROM NINE COUNTRIES REPRESENTING THE WORKS OF EIGHT HUNDRED ARTISTS PRICED ; 19°\u2019 to *600°° CUSTOM FRAMING AT LOWEST PRICES - BROWSERS WELCOME Famous French 1650 SHERBROOKE WEST, SOMETHING NEW FOR : MONTREAL MAGNIFICENT ORIGINALS | RA! Sunday 1 P.M.to 5 P.M.(viewmg only) 1975 - 15 Needless to say, this wakens up the household.At times I cannot get out of my own parking area.When I do get out and want to go west, 1 have to go east, then south, then east again, then north, then west, then north, then west for a block and a half before 1 get back to my own house going west.This is inconvenient to say the least.Personally 1 feel we should bear our share of traffic on our beautiful, but narrow, residential street; however, 1 object when others do not seem to want to share, and they suggest that de Maison- neuve take more and more traffic.Our share of traffic is too heavy now for the narrow 24 foot roadway and we will only return to our fair share of traffic when de Maisonneuve is one-way again and St.Catherine is opened west of the Glen and can take its re and the roadway between Melville avenue and Academy road remains CLOSED.Yours sincerely, S.Lyle McMaster 4710 de Maisonneuve blvd.west WESTMOUNT H3Z 1M1 it\u201d 3 rs) LA RUES 935-1135 RCE # 16 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 18, 1975 #0 | CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING REALTIES REG'D \u2014 PHONE YOUR ADS \u2014 931-7511 10 Words °1-%° 10 cents each additional word Real Estate Westmount Properties Wanted We Have the Buyers 933-4256 1384 Greene Ave.street west, dish, N.D.G.;
