The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 5, 1976 Price, volume, markup all take decline in November transfers Intra-family sales and the sale of a hard-to-sell lot at the corner of Greene avenue and Prospect street brought down the average price of real estate sales in Westmount during November to an almost reasonable level.Volume slid considerably during the month, marking the beginning of the off-season sales period.Average sale price of 12 residential properties dropped to 78.2 percent, despite the fact that seven of the sales were registered at more than double their 1975 Montreal Urban Community valuations.À partial interest in flats at 184- 188A Selby street also changed hands in a transfer registered during November, while the property at 353-55 Grosvenor avenue, which while

meeting held: Dog owners propose amendments Some 88 Westmount dog owners turned out at Victoria Hall last Thursday for the i the newly- formed Westmount Dog Owners Association to put together a platform.A large number of them then appeared at Monday's city council meeting to ask for a delay in bringing forward new legislation to control canine pets.The association has called for a relinquishment of any leash laws in the city for dogs which are in the company of \u2018\u2018a responsible person able to control the dog.\u201d They agree, however, that a dog \u201cought not to be off the leash\u201d unless accompanied by a such a person.Another resolution reads: \u201cThat the association believes it is a polite thing to elean up after one's dog, and that we applaud those who do, but that we oppose any by-law which sanctions the failure to do so by fines or penalties.\u201d In presenting the resolutions to council, Stephen Jarislowsky, 9 Murray avenue, asked that the association be given one month to come up with modifications to city by-law 535, which concerns dogs and the licensing thereof.Mayor Donald MacCallum indicated he might be willing to allow this, despite the fact that notice of motion to amend by-law 535 had already been given by Ald.Brian Gallery during the formal council session.Mr.Jarislowsky reported that the Westmount Dog Owners Association has already received signed membership applications from some 300 citizens, and that the group plans to incorporate.They hope to become the spokesmen for Westmount\u2019s 1,200 registered dog owners, all of whom have been sent letters and application forms announcing the organization's formation.The association is determined to draw up \u2018\u2018a code of ethical dog owner behavior,\u201d and the resolutions concerning the unleashing of dogs and opposition to fines for canine calling cards are predicated on adoption of this code.\u201cOur membership drive will 209 dogs nabbed The catching and impounding of dogs was up slightly during January when compared with other off-season months last year, city officials reported this week.Twenty-two dogs were nabbed by Westmount's dogcatcher last month, compared with 18 in October, only four in November and 21 in December.The low November count could not be explained immediately by city officials.Last year a total of 209 dogs were nabbed by the dogcatcher, including a high 72 in May, 42 in June, 25 in July, 15 in August and 12 in September.Prior to May, there was no dogcatcher on duty.see continue until we can

\u2018use the parks responsibly and respectfully, and keep areas equipped as playgrounds, putting greens and such, dog free at appropriate seasons.\" The executive of the association also proposed amendments to by-law 535 for council to consider should they be unwilling to await more carefully - considered suggestions.These included the signing of a sworn statement by each dog-owner that he (she) has read and understood the by-law, before receiving a dog license.Another proposed amendment would allow the police or city officials to demand that a dog be put on a leash, should they consider that the dog is creating a nuisance.The proposed amendments would also remove any fines for impoundment of dogs, and remove from the list of reasons for destroying or disposing of a dog the continued commitment of damage to private property and the continued creation of excessive noise.Another amendment among the hastily-drawn proposals, which association officials have since discounted as the result of their own confusion, asks for the repeal of the entire by-law 535, as amended.Mrs.Glenda Scott, who listened attentively while the proposals were presented to council, asked simply that dog owners respect the rights of other citizens in the city to have their own privacy and private property.\u201cIt's just respect for each other that I'm calling for.\u201d claimed Westmount's year-long advocate of dog controls.ETE We thankful for The friends we've made ( ) Who've come to us For plumbing aid JOHN WATSON {Quebec) Limited W.Hartley Barber, President PLUMBING & HEATING |

Sherbrooke streets.It was an obstacle course.City ploughs obviously had done their work well\u2014before private ploughs had done residents\u2019 driveways.Where had most of the snow gone from the homeowners\u2019 pavements?Onto the public sidewalks and the roadway.Other Westmount streets, we are told, suffered the same fate.In the wake of a major blizzard, when opening of thoroughfares was a priority.We don't blame the residents who are enterprising enough to.get their own properties in order promptly.We blame the private contractors, who clearly were blatantly contravening Westmount's very stern by-law on the subject.No doubt the police had their other, MUC- set priorities that night.Yet, it was as if some patrolling constables weren't even aware of this and other important local by-laws.Pointing up again the fallacy of abolishing local police forces.Local needs are met last, if at all.Why our mayor is looking tired MAYOR MacCallum at Monday evening's city council meeting looked tired.Later he agreed he was tired.Was he going to get a holiday.we asked?Not a hope, he shrugged, resignedly.Mr.MacCallum probably is not the only tired mayor on this island.But there is none more conscientious than he.Few except a small circle know the burden carried by the community's First Citizen.There always has been great responsibility carried by the holder of this office in Westmount.This is a first-class city, kept that way by painstaking attention to detail.Most of our mayors, including the incumbent, also have their businesses or professional careers to tend.On top of it all has been added the ham- handed provincial imposition of the Montreal Urban Community.Metropolitan government has not relieved the suburban mayors of responsibility.Removal of authority over vital municipal functions, such as police.valuation, and other matters, has only increased their concern and preoccupation with them.Nor is it merely the added involvement in the MUC council.So imperfect is the concept and working of the MUC and so obtuse are the provincial authorities who made it and keep it that way, that the mayors including our own have also a heavy commitment in the Conference of Montreal Suburban Mayors, through which they are striving to put things right.No wonder Mayor MacCallum looks tired.It's wrong.Ald.Gallery keeps a good tradition IT's always good to see honest differences among our aldermen placed forthrightly on public view.It's becoming a slow-growing tradition in Westmount.Ex-Ald.Wood was an exemplar.Where he disagreed with his colleagues, he declined to hide his differences behind the closed committee-room door.He voted with his conscience in the public council chamber.Ald.Gallery is carrying on that good precept.Monday evening he, alone, voted against the permanent closing of de Maison- neuve boulevard at Westmount Park.We think in this instance his is the wrong position.But we laud his open stand.This is the first visible signal that the new city council is working as it should: its members have minds of their own, each doing his homework, each reaching his conclusion, decisions reached by majority and not by rubber stamp.The only thing missing: some of that healthy debate of the pros and cons of issues being vouchsafed to the public instead of kept private in committee-of- the-whole.What were the majority's key points?Why was Ald.Gallery against?The 39 citizens who cared enough about council's business to turn out that bitterly cold night deserved to know.So does the rest of the taxpaying public.Ald.Gallery himself.as chairman of council's public information committee, might with profit to all address himself to lifting further this old shroud from council's procedure and business.Weather tells its own stories MOST everyone has a story to tell about Monday's weather.And the weather tells stories about people.We were particularly proud of our staff\u2014a few were a little late, but they all made it to work.We were comforted to see the police, the firemen and the public works fellows on the job, too.Most local shops were open, even if customers were few.City hall functioned at near-normal.Indeed, a check in late afternoon confirmed that the monthly city council meeting was on as planned for that evening and, in the event, a near-record 39 citizens turned out to witness proceedings.Schools were shut.Maybe

first lady in the world and would add much glamor and tone through her beauty and lineage to an affair that sadly is becoming a byword everywhere for curious dealings, to put it mildly.Anyway, an

precisely the trap that monarchists should avoid.The Queen's presence here has very little to do with the \u2018\u2018British connection.\u201d We honor the Queen, and even more important, we value the system of constitutional government which the Crown personifies, because it is a Canadian system.The monarchy guarantees for Canadians those rights and liberties to which we have become accustomed.It also stands for the unity of this country, a unity threatened by the actions of a tiny minority, a minority to which the media give far too much prominence and, hence, supposed legitimacy.The Governor-General, as fine an individual as he may be, is in many ways a creature of the partisan political process, for he is appointed on the advice of the prime minister of the day.It is the Queen, who by the hereditary nature of her role and the apolitical functioning thereof, personifies the distinct value of constitutional monarchy for Canada.That she is not more often among us is not, I would suggest, a choice made by Her Majesty.but the result of more than a decade of creeping republicanism under Liberal administrations.The Queen should join us this summer to our

the meeting on Thursday.\u201d our M.P.- Hon.C.M.Drury | i | F | says.Inflation and unemployment Inflation and unemployment are by no means new phenomena.Economic history has been scarred by bouts of extreme inflation and unemployment.However, throughout most economic cycles, these two problems have surfaced alternately.When employment was the major problem, it was possible to stimulate demand for goods and services, thereby stimulating more production and creating more jobs.When inflation became the major problem, it was possible to dampen it by reducing demand.In recent economic cycles however, this principle of alternation has not applied.and Canadians have found themselves faced with both partners of this economic tag team.This simultaneity bears an important message for government administrators both in Canada and abroad.The message is this: the traditional fiscal and monetary mechanisms no longer provide an effective means of effecting a trade-off between inflation and unemployment.The economic system has changed, and with that change the need has come for new attitudes if the inflation and unemployment trends of the past 30 years are to be avoided.This is an important part of the message that the Prime Minister has been delivering to Canadians over the past few weeks.I! agree with this message wholeheartedly.I do not agree with some of the interpretations of it.The enterprise system\u2014that system which permits individuals to apply initiative, risk capital, own resources, and make profits\u2014will, I believe, remain in Canada for the foreseeable future.Indeed, the enterprise system is an integral part of the Canadian way of life.A free market system however, wherein untrammelled entrepreneurs and consumers act alone to determine what goods are to be produced at what price, has not existed in this country for some time.Canadians owe their prosperity, not to the operation of a free market economy, but to the operation of a mixed economy wherein enterprise and government have each played a part.Market forces predominate There are a number of important sectors within this mixed economy wherein the market forces continue to predominate.The construction sector, for example, which accounts for approximately 15 percent of gross national expenditure and employs over 700,000 Canadians, is a highly competitive sector comprising over 80,000 individual firms.Here, enterprise, operating within a market system, regulated by laws and building codes, has successfully provided the physical structures vital to a growing Canada.If one applies the criteria of inflation and unemployment, it is clear that Canada\u2019s mixed economy is not performing as well as it should.Canada\u2019s output performance in 1975 has been better than most other industrialized countries.However, relative to 1974, inflation has remained at about 11 percent and unemployment has risen to an average of seven percent.The solution to these problems is not to discard our present economic system and substitute something completely different.The solution lies in trying to adjust our behavior within the context of the mixed economy we now have in the interest of economic stability.One of the reasons behind the government\u2019s introduction of the anti-inflation controls has been to give all members of Canada's economy an opportunity to make such an adjustment.The government looks forward to the removal of these controls as soon as economic circumstances permit, but which controls are removed and when, essentially depend on Canadians\u2019 response to them.Those of us who, by means of their own free will, change those attitudes which have contributed to inflation can expect a shorter control period.Those who do not, can expect the opposite.It is the government\u2019s hope that at the end of the planned three-year control riod, all of the economy\u2019s sectors will be decontrolled.| | AM HEAD 0 j | fy pr NN iL \\ ~ =

Dr.Cochrane enters correction and caveat Sir: It is difficult indeed for the printed correction and the printed caveat to catch up with the original printed word, but I have a duty to try.(See article by Andy Dodge, Jan.29, on the churches of West- mount.) First the correction: I have been quoted as saying, \u2018It's very important to pay your fuel bill, but I was surprised (the church elders) weren't more alarmed at the declining membership.\u2019 This statement was made, not when Mr.Dodge and I were discussing Melville (and not about elders in any case) but when we were speaking of recent reports in the metropolitan press about some of the down-town churches.The elders of Melville Church have been much too concerned and much too faithful a group of men and women to warrant the kind of criticism of them that was wrongly attributed to me.Now for the caveat: Mr.Dodge has gratuitously editorialized that I am \u2018\u2018the most pessimistic clergyman in town.\u201d (I had thought that Mr.Dodge and I parted company with a more comprehensive grasp of the situation than that!) Let me comment that both optimism and pessimism are attitudes which are appropriate to situations which depend for their success primarily on human effort and ability (e.g.will the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup in 1976?)\u2014that is, to enterprises which are success-oriented.The life of the Christian Church is not one of them.The word \u2018\u2018success,\u201d for example, does not occur in the New Testament.As | understand the New Testament the operative words there are \u2018\u2018obedience\u2019 and \u201cfaithfulness.\u201d In the scriptures, what we commonly arrogate to ourselves as success is called \u2018\u2018growth\u201d\u2019 or \u2018\u2018increase,\u201d (1Cor.3:6; R.S.V.and K.J.V.) and that, as Paul remarks, belongs to God.To pursue MY NAME is JULES LEGER .| = OF STATE! : Ao NAR AR i p 7 UM 111118 | Y The Westmount MY NAME 1S EUZARETH WINDSOR 510 UBER MIRE RS RUE Paul's figure of speech a little further, I shall continue to plant, or to water where others have sowed, and pray that God may see fit to give some growth.Accordingly, I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist where the life of the Christian Church is concerned; I would not dare to be so presumptuous.These attitudes presuppose that the well-being of the church is in human hands, and that it may be judged according to whether it reaches or fails to reach human goals.Oh, yes; thanks for the photograph! (Rev.Dr.) Charles C.Cochrane Minister Melville Presbyterian Church, 351 Melville avenue, WESTMOUNT H3Z 2J7 (Editor's note: We are happy to print both correction and caveat and are confident both will catch up in thoughtful readers\u2019 minds to last week's article\u2014which in no way was intended by Mr.Dodge to misquote or do injustice to Dr.Cochrane, his elders or anyone else.) Melville for Serbians, Weredale for seniors Sir: In his timely article on Westmount churches (Examiner, Jan.29) Andy Dodge points out that while some churches in Westmount are experiencing an increase in congregation, others, such as Melville, are suffering a decline that places them now at the point of closing.As one who was involved in the fight to save St.Stephen\u2019s a year ago, I can attest to the difficulties encountered in attempting to reverse a trend, once that trend is established.In the case of St.Stephen's, much of the community, including our present mayor (then alderman in Ward 3) was in favor of the church coming down because it did not seem possible that St.Stephen\u2019s could succeed as an Anglican church, and alternative uses for the church building were not seriously considered.It was indeed fortunate for St.Stephen\u2019s and for Westmount that Bishop Hollis was able to see beyond the ledger book.The success that St.Stephen\u2019s has gradually achieved in the past year is the result of many things\u2014not the least being the determination of its minister, Robin Guinness, and Mrs.Guinness.However, one aspect to the church issue that Mr.Dodge does not cover in his article is that of congregations that are \u2018\u2018church- Examiner.MY NAME IS ROBERT BOURASSA.| AM HEAD Thursday, February 5, 1976 5 less\u201d and eager to acquire a ready- made church.The Serbian Orthodox congregation, for example, the only congregation of its kind in Montreal, is occupying inadequate quarters, and is anxious to purchase a centrally located church.When St.Stephen's was for sale, this congregation tried to buy it, but lost out, first to the developer, and then most willingly, to the Anglican church.According to Mrs.Helen Papich, a member of the Serbian Orthodox committee, and a Westmounter, her church is very interested in acquiring Melville church and has written directly to the Melville Session regarding this matter.With the possibility of another congregation using its building, and thus keeping and maintaining it, it would appear that an ideal solution has presented itself to Melville church.A few months ago it was announced that The Rotary Club of Westmount had chosen the Melville church site for their contemplated senior citizens\u2019 residence.Their plan includes tearing down the present church and manse.However, there are other sites around the city that would not entail destruction of useful buildings, and rebuilding at great cost.Weredale House comes immediately to mind because of the recent announcement of its closing.This quiet location, close to transportation, shopping and medical care, would be most suitable for a senior citizens\u2019 home.The Rotarians might well join with other agencies in making this a fine home for all those who need it in Westmount.(Mrs.) Susan Rice 25 Stayner street, WESTMOUNT H3Z 1W3 Montreal-Westmount high-rise restrictions Sir: The City of Montreal has taken a positive step to remedy the intolerable spread of high-rise buildings at its western limits.Looking east from Wood avenue, one is truly appalled by the concrete canyon formed along de Maisonneuve.It appears that buildings along St.Catherine street in Montreal will vary 10-8- 6 stories in height.One is encouraged that on the West- mount side of the border, the First Quehec Corporation has howed to community pressure and has limited its new building to six stories.One hopes the Mondev Corporation will now go back to its drawing boards and bring its projected 18-storey St.Catherine street building into line with current planning thought.493 Elm avenue, WESTMOUNT H3Y 3H9 JoAnn Issenman 6 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, February 5, Two homes theft victims Thieves broke into homes at 731 Roslyn avenue and 655 Murray 1976 logos 1359 Greene Avenue Monday - Saturday Sunday Italian Restaurant An intimate little restaurant.39.Candle-lighted dinners, 932-7777 Moderate prices 10:30 am to midnight 4:00 pm to midnight Hill, police learned Sunday morning, though they could not immediately determine what had been stolen from either address.Someone apparently tried and failed to gain access to the rear door of the Roslyn address, so went to the front, broke a window in the front door, and entered the building.The entire house was searched.Police learned of the break-in at 1:40 am Sunday.A window was broken in the front door of the Murray Hill home;

cities, such as offering rebates to property-owning pensioners or apportionment of the tax on the basis of the 1975 valuation roll.Such actions, Mayor Donald MacCallum suggested, are probably illegal and therefore out-of-bounds for his city administration.Westmount has already prepared and sent its 1976 MUC tax bills (due May 1) to citizens, and thus is in no position to confuse citizens by withdrawing them.Council will, nevertheless, appear at a WMA-sponsored meeting Feb.24 to inform citizens about the property valuations and the legal requirements for collecting city and MUC taxes.Hon.Kevin Drummond, MNA for West- mount, already has accepted an invitation to be at the meeting, and Westmount resident Hon.Dr.Victor Goldbloom, Minister of More tickets Citizens will be taking more of a chance now if they choose to park illegally in Westmount.Ald.Brian Gallery announced Monday night that two new parking commissionaires, authorized to ticket illegally- parked autos in Westmount, have been hired.CARPET CLEANING DEEP STEAM SERVICE OR NO IT YOURSELF.THE ORIGINAL AND MOST EXPERIENCED IN STEAM EXTRACTION Recommended by Carpet Manufacturers The World Over!

begins at 1:30 pm and will be presented by a representative from the Montreal Urban Community Police department.h Revival program challenge taken by Park Church The congregation of West- mount Park United Church took out a new, one-year lease on life Sunday afternoon, commiting itself to become a community within its own church walls and to reach out for more citizen participation.Church members who turned out for the annual meeting of the institution accepted an ultimatum that the church increase its membership or close its doors forever next February.Mid-week services, discussion groups, visiting of non-devout members of the church and more will be offered in an attempt to revive the congregation which has been lagging for at least the last decade.The \u2018Challenge of \u201876\u2019 follows on the heels of an article in last week's Examiner that indicated religious institutions offering more of a \u2018\u2019companion\u2019\u2019 approach to religious faith are succeeding in drawing people back, both to the membership and to the regular weekend services.Mrs.Georgia Carpenter.a member of the four-man task force which, working since last September, drew up the one-year ultimatum.explained that the attempt by Westmount Park Church to offer space to community groups (such as the Westmount Senior Citizens\u2019 Centre) had not augmented \u2018\u2018the community of the church.\u201d Those on hand on Sunday were given \u201ccommitment cards,\u201d on which to write their own church- oriented interests: more are available at the church office for those who would like to join in the new effort.Minister encouraged Rev.Ernest Nix, the church minister and originator of the task force, said he was \u2018\u2018encouraged\u2019 by the meeting, which he described as \u2018an attempt to be realistic, to get it out on the table and look at it.\u201d Other members of the task force besides Mr.Nix and Mrs.Carpenter were Andrew Webster.who as the church's finance chairman dealt with the financial aspects of the \u2018challenge.\u2019 and Frank Walkling.An important impetus to changing the outlook of the church may have been the agreement by Richard Chamberlain to take over the church\u2019s finance portfolio.thus allowing Mr.Webster to become the new chairman of the board.Since he came to the church five years ago, Mr.Nix has been chairman of the board.A task force similar to the one created last fall presented alternatives to the congregation in 1970: at that time the church members decided to do nothing special to attract new members, nor to change the approach of the services.Many of those members have since grown older, according to Mrs.Carpenter, and Andrew D.Webster new chairman their lack of commitment discouraged even further what interest there was at the time.Now.it seems, many of the older members have seen the failure of their laissez-faire approach and younger members are coming to the fore on the board and in the new effort (both Mrs.Carpenter and Mr.Webster are in their 30s).More help offered The service which preceded the annual meeting was \u2018\u2018very exciting.\u201d\u201d according to Mrs.Carpenter.with new types of music sung by the choirs and considerable participation by the members.As a result of the meeting, moreover, help has been offered from members of the community and the congregation.Programs will now be drawn up and members found to co-ordinate them.Kick-off will be provided in Mr.Nix's sermon this Sunday, entitled \u2018A Church for People.\u201d Mr.Nix said Westmount Park Church will be working together with the city's other United churches, St.Andrew's and Dominion-Douglas.in community programs.Members from the three churches will be attending a retreat at Five Oaks.in Ontario, later this month to investigate among themselves the type of programs which might be put forward.WMA Council meets Tuesday The Advisory Council of the Westmount Municipal Association will hold its monthly meeting Tuesday at 8 pm in the Prud'homme Room of Victoria Hall.One of the main items of business will be finalizing plans for the WMA-sponsored open meeting on Feb.24 to discuss the MUC and its

night for a study of the heating system in Westmount's fire station no.2, at the corner of Victoria avenue and The Boulevard.Pageau, Morel, Lindsay and Associates, consulting engineers, have been contracted to undertake the study.\u201c1 don\u2019t think anyone in this chamber on this particular night would begrudge $500 for this study,\u201d\u201d Ald.J.L.Thom suggested, as the wind and snow pouled and swirled outside city has advocated closure of de Maisonneuve for a half-decade, and reminded him of his pronouncements that HABITATS would help in keeping track of traffic on side streets.Both Mr.Udy and Arthur Yelon, a closure-advocate who lives on the west side of West- mount Park, congratulated council on its decision and promised their continued assistance.\u201cIt\u2019s the system of traffic we're worried about,\u201d Mr.Udy said, \u201cnot just our street.\u201d Presented good case The quickly-prepared motion for new stop signs on Cote St.Antoine seemed almost designed to assure residents of that westbound artery that council had no intention of allowing the de Maisonneuve traffic simply to move northward to their street.Ald.Thom congratulated residents of that street (who were not present at the meeting) for their hard work and careful presentation of their case.\u201cThe people we have had come see us have been very responsible, informed, gentlemanly advocates of their cause,\u201d he said.Imposition of the new stop signs now means there will be four on Cote St.Antoine, along with four signal lights.The only intersections past which through- traffic can move freely are Argyle, Kensington, Forden, Murray, Mt.Stephen, Arlington and Roslyn avenues and Church Hill.Traffic is supposed to move at 20 miles per hour at all of those intersections except Roslyn, where the speed limit is 30.Ald.Thom also reported that the traffic committee was still seriously concerned with traffic on Cedar avenue, but had rejected recently-made suggestions that the street be closed at Clarke avenue.Volume is the main problem there, he The Westmount Examiner, February 5, 1976 - 1 reported, since it is a feeder-road Westmount discourage traffic by to McDougall

one able to grind.City solons had hoped the Quebec Municipal Commission would approve an extension of the temporary closure, which has been in effect since last June, but found out that the commission was unable to approve temporary blockades.The original temporary closure had been approved by the Montreal Urban Community; since then, amendments to the cities and towns act have forced any street closing to be approved in Quebec City.Ald.Thom, speaking on the motion, said he and the administrative traffic committee had met all day last Tuesday to consider de Maisonneuve and other traffic problems, and had concluded that permanent closing of de Maisonneuve was a reasonable move.The street is \u2018\u2018ill-defined to handle traffic volume,\u201d he said, calling it \u2018\u2018a two-lane street in a residential area of the city.\u201d He hoped the Melville-to-Academy closure would return it to \u2018\u2018as residential a quality of living as possible.\u201d City traffic studies undertaken since the street was re-opened at Wood avenue last summer have tended to support the closure, though he promised that counts would be maintained on the side streets such as Melville, Metcalfe and Kensington avenues, and that if problems are found actions will be taken \u2018\u2018to defuse this traffic.\u201d The by-law approved by council offers compensation or indemnity to persons who suffer actual damage because of the closing.Closure protested Despite the action, a resident of Mt.Stephen avenue got up during the question period to protest the logic of the closure, complaining that his street was getting more traffic and that council was \u201cputting road blocks all the way through the city.\u201d Ald.Thom.also a resident of Mt.Stephen, admitted he would \u201clike to see rose gardens up and down the street,\u201d but assured the man that city officials were keeping a close watch on streets such as his.He then turned to John Udy, president of
