When the early explorers of this country ventured west and declared the land virtually a wasteland and not worth inhabiting, they were right in many ways.Only east of Sudbury does the land lend itself naturally to habitation; a place where one can be reasonably self- sufficient with a minimum of dependence on imported goods.At last, we began to encounter fruit and vegetable stands with a majority of the produce grown within a reasonable distance of the point of sale, sometimes within a few miles.Once we had passed the barren, sulphur-poisoned landscape of Sudbury (we were told that American astronauts trained there for the lunar landings because of its similarity to the surface of the moon) the land and the climate became gentler.We began to feel that we were in a place where people belonged.Heavens open up At the end of the first day out\u2018 of Elliot Lake we had the heavens open up on us and had to stop short of Sudbury.The second day we reached North Bay and met all four members of the North Bay Cycling Club.We swapped the usual bike-car atrocity stories and wished them luck on the growth of their club.It must be tough to be a cyclist in North Bay if, as they claim, a Michelin inner tube is $7.The following day we reached Mattawa, at the head of the Ottawa valley, and travelled along the hilly shores of the Ottawa river to a provincial campground near a small town called Stonecliff.We were rewarded with a swim in the river and a cold beer, courtesy of a fellow camper.We had done as much climbing that day as some of the hardest days in the Rockies.We were greeted the next morning by a sprinkling of rain which we ignored and started off.After an hour or so the sprinkling became a deluge and we holed up in a small truck stop to drink coffee and eat toast for the next hour and a half while the clouds spent themselves.Later in the day we spent an enjoyable couple of hours at the federal government experimental forest near Petawawa from where we could hear the artillery practice from CFB Petawawa.We cycled through Pembrooke, another small city where the car is king and every pimply youth a pretender to the throne, and ended the day at Cobden.Last night on road Day five from Elliot Lake was most notable for fish and chips and homemade peach pie at Hubert's Country Kitchen just west of Arnprior and a relaxing ride through the cycling paths of Ottawa with the obligatory snapshot taken at the Parliament Buildings.We pushed on another 60 kilometres to Plantagenet, METROPOL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION DETECTIVES \u2014 LICENSED AND BONDED \u2014 Authorized by the Department of Justice of Québec CIVIL AND CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS SERVING INDIVIDUALS.BUSINESSES AND INSTITUTIONS ACROSS CANADA ROBERT M.GEULLAC.64 0c: OMECTOR TYPES OF CASES JOEL HARTT, 64 va mc © SURVEILLANCE AND DÉPUTY OMECTOR SHADOWING .GROUND (514) 683-2936 svEsTIGATIONS CONFIDENTIAL AND DISCREET © MISSING PERSONS SERVICE BY PROFESSIONALS © EVIDENCE FOR ALL BICYCLE BUS, TRAIN arriving as darkness fell.We knew the following night we would be sleeping at home.At Hawkesbury we crossed into Quebec and followed Highway 344 through Carillon and Oka, a quiet country road leading through beautiful farmland and towns.We crossed the river on the ferry at Oka and made our way through Vaudreuil, Dorion, and home along Lakeshore boulevard.We completed the 861 kilometres from Elliot Lake to Montreal in six days with daily distances considerably more and less than the average of 143 kilometres a day.It will be a few days until either Linda or I have any desire to climb back on a bicycle and I doubt that we will undertake a trip of such length again.Still, once the pinched nerves have healed and the muscles loosened up, there\u2019s still a lot of road out there to be cycled!

in fact, very badly, and expensively.It suffers from \u2018\u2018inefficiencies of size.\" Yet, such supra-municipal services as sewage and the Métro have to be operated by something such as the MUC.Police service, no, he said.The MUC should be \u2018\u2018minimized.\u2019\u2019 Mayor MacCallum believes that the initiative in metropolitan government is now being returned to some of the island mayors.(He earlier had referred to his own membership of the MUC executive committee and the recent election of Mayor Des Marais of Outremont as its chairman.) Spending is being checked and costs won't rise in the future as they have until now.Yes, he agreed, these are \u2018\u2018political times.\u201d\u2019 But people are not leaving in the numbers Mr.Morton suggested.And as a community we are finding our identity.It was a confident and reassuring midsummer dissertation, useful as we soon plunge again into the ferment of local, regional, provincial and federal concerns.Thank you, Mr.Morton and Mr.Mayor.A peek in the post office We had the opportunity last week in Vancouver to have a conducted tour, in a small group, of \u201cWestern Canada's largest postal operation.\" It was, indeed, big\u2014exceeded in this country only by the facilities in Toronto and Montreal.The visit provided a first class opportunity to get some idea of the immensity of Canada Post Office's operaiuvn\u2026 their enormous im portance to the nation\u2014when you see all that mail flowing, you quickly appreciate the effect of any stoppage or even of any inefficiency in its handling\u2014and an inkling of what ails the mails.Mechanization, to judge by the Vancouver installation, already is extensive.There has been a great deal of imagination and effective engineering applied to the postal system.The impressive gear appears to work and work well, limited not so much by alleged recalcitrance of postal workers\u2014after all, it makes their jobs easier and more productive\u2014as by the failure of the mail-using public to follow the few simple rules which would speed their pieces from A to B.We were impressed by the great amount of effort diverted by staff to see that mail which doesn\u2019t meet the required specifications nonetheless is given hand treatment to get it to its destination.The sloppy, careless and indifferent mailers get far more than their 14 cents\u2019 worth.We say these persons should, somehow.be penalized by rejection of their mail Weeks is challenged on early immersion Mr.Rotarians (Examiner, Aug.10) appears to question indirectly the validity of Sir: Weeks\u2019 speech to the immersion programs in Westmount schools.Admittedly, there is always room for improvement.However, one must not overlook the cultural advantages of children learning the language of the majority at as early an age as possible.This gives them the vital tool for communication and hopefully enables them to participate in the life of Quebec when they are young.It would appear that teaching in a second language could only be termed \u201csecond-class education\u2019 if the teaching is second-class.Teaching French as a language, as Mr.Weeks suggests, failed to produce effective bilingualism in the previous generation of graduates.Several scientifically based studies on the results of immersion (Genesee et al) A0R000000000N0G0000000000000000000000000IR0SI0NNNIINIIIIIINITITNEIINITING and its return, by extra tariffs or even by denial of the use of the mails.This is one area in which the post office department has not faced up to reality.The concept of strikes in the mail service is unreal.To believe that there is any justification, not excepting labor's enshrined right to withhold its services in the face of real or imagined grievances, to stop the flow of letters, parcels and printed matter in a modern society, is totally archaic.A postal warker\u2019s agreement to work for the post office should be an individual undertaking\u2014never a collective contract\u2014not unlike the engagement of a member of the armed forces.In peacetime, the mails deserve at least the same reliability and performance, if not a greater concept of service.Soldiers\u2019, sailors\u2019 and airmen's unions make no more sense than postmen's.We were particularly interested to see how newspapers and magazines were handled.On the surface, it appeared little less expeditious than for first class letters.However, we could get no satisfactory explanation why our out- of-town subscribers must wait two, three and even four weeks for their Examiner when Time, Maclean\u2019s and Financial Post arrive in readers\u2019 hands all over the country regularly and promptly.Our public affairs guide would allow nothing;

Citizens\u2019 Centre her face lights up.\u201cIt's the most rewarding work I've ever done in my life,\u201d she enthused.\u201cWhen I first looked for a job there were two possibilities\u2014of working with young people or the elderly.After evaluating the situation I felt that maybe with my strict European family background I would have more empathy with older people and their problems in this day and age.\u201d To the question, do you think that older people are getting a fair shake from family and community?Mrs.Bannon replied: \u2018\u2018Ithink what they need really is more support both from the family and community to retain their autonomy.So often they are completely neglected or the other extreme, where they are almost smothered in attention and concern which is destructive to the individual as he or she will lose self confidence and, more important, initiative.\u201d The hazel-eyed, highly intelligent Mrs.Bannon wears her dark hair as a cap, has a quick smile and a warm personality.She has been director of the centre for five years.\u201cMy background is in commerce but always I have been interested in social problems and I've done a lot of study in psychology, sociology and philosophy, which gave me an insight into various problems and human conflicts,\u201d she said.Mrs.Bannon shied away from telling her age.\u201cI am not afraid of growing old but I do not wish to advertise my age,\u201d she remarked.Born in Switzerland Mrs.Bannon was born in Geneva, Switzerland, the daughter of an engineer.She received her elementary education in Geneva.At 16 she was sent to England for a year to learn English.She is a graduate in commerce from Zurich College.\u201cI worked for a while as an administrative assistant all over Switzerland,\u201d she said.\u201cI did translation for a pharmaceutical firm, worked in resort hotels for two seasons.In 1950 I married an Australian engineer and went to Australia.I was just a wife for six years, interested in Australian aborigines\u2019 art, music and the theatre.our M.N.A.George Springate says.The Parti Québécois is at the midway point of its election mandate.Ahead stands a PQ inspired referendum and a provincial general election.Separatist strategists already have mapped out the game plan: a campaign that they believe will return them to office when Quebecers next go to the polls.In 1970 and 1973 it was accepted that a vote for the Parti Québécois was a vote for separation.René and his friends realized that they would never form the provincial government as long as that Parti Québécois separation tag remained embedded in voters\u2019 minds.A new attack, therefore, was required.This occurred in 1976.At that time, Mr.Lévesque announced that a vote for his party no longer automatically meant that it was a vote for separation.Rather, it was a vote for good government.Separation, he claimed, would be decided later via a The PQ will lose referendum to be held sometime during the party's first mandate.On Nov.15, 1976, the PQ won the election.The referendum wrinkle had done the trick.Government not bound To date, legislation has been enacted to permit the referendum to be held.However, the law does not require that the government be bound by the voice and wishes of the people.Neither does the law give the wording of the question to be asked or the date on which the referendum will be held.The incomplete legislation mirrors the PQ thoughts on the referendum.In a nutshell, PQ adherents are confused and wishing they can forget the whole thing as they know the referendum cannot be won.But Premier Lévesque cannot avoid it.If he did, the PQ would enter into the next general election with their biggest Examiner photo by Diane Quart My husband decided he would like to come to Canada so we sold our house on Sydney beach.We came in 1956 to stay a minimum of five years, but after six promise of all unfulfilled, their credibility severely damaged and obvious losers.The new separatist strategy, therefore, calls for the referendum to be held at a date following the next federal general election; then, to use the referendum loss as a stepping stone toward a referendum-type provincial general election in which the Parti Québécois would stand on the defeated referendum thesis of sovereignty association.Separatist \u2018ace\u2019 The ace up the separatist sleeve is the manner in which the vote will be counted.The referendum votes will be calculated globally, that is, one giant tally, province-wide.A general election vote is scored differently; counting is distinctly riding by riding in each of the National Assembly's 110 divisions or seats.The PQ is hoping that, as in 1976 where they received only 41 percent of the total vote but won because of the split in the votes between individual constituency candidates riding by riding, they can win the election overall by capturing enough seats to again control the National Assembly.That is René Lévesque's plan.Strangely, it falls down in the very area that proved victorious for the PQ in 1976: the individual, 110-riding vote count.The separatists won via the split in 1976.There will be no dividing of votes in 1980.It will be a straight René Lévesque vs.Claude Ryan vote.No splinter parties.No split.A direct head-on-head separatist vs.federalist vote.And the PQ will lose.months we knew Canada was our own country.\u201d Now a Canadian citizen, Mrs.Bannon at first did a lot of volunteer work at the Royal Victoria Hospital and still does.She became very active at the Thomas More Institute, starting as a student and later becoming a leader.\u2018\u2019Thomas More opened up completely new horizons and made me look at things in completely different ways,\" she said.Her husband died six years ago and Mrs.Bannon had to look for a job.\u201cI decided to do something people- oriented,\u2019 she said.*'l didn't want to go into industry.I had so many theories | decided to put them into practice.\u2018There is so much to be done for senior citizens.I really got involved the first year when | attended an international congress in gerontology in Israel.It opened up a lot of awareness of needs and possibilities for action.\u201d Forming an association Mrs.Bannon is now on the executive of a group starting a Canadian association of senior centre personnel.\u2018\u2018We would like to promote education in the field to establish standards for senior centres,\u2019 she added.Mrs.Bannon said her centre, started in 1972 on a LIP grant in Westmount Park United Church at the corner of Lans- downe and de Maisonneuve, had 300 members, with the average daily attendance between 30 and 40.\u2018About 50 percent are about 75, 27 percent are young olds (between 65 and 75) and the rest old olds (over 85).Her job description?\u2018You must be a jack of all trades to function in this position,\u2019 she said.\u201cThe problem is that there are only two staff mem- bers\u2014Doreen Mitchell, who acts as secretary assistant, and myself.I do all the administrative work, the programming.I do some information and referral work, some counselling, setting up menus for our weekly Thursday luncheons for 72 senior citizens, purchasing and pricing.1 give them moral support in the kitchen if there is a new recipe and they don't know how to do it.I organize monthly trips in summertime.If the sewing machine breaks down I have got a complete set of screwdrivers to fix up everything.If my people have trouble at home or with the landlord or have difficulty in trying to find a residence or communicating with a doctor, I help them out.I took a man in his 80s to the emergency department of a hospital and waited with him for six hours.I translate official documents and give them the gist of them.In fund- raising I have even learned how to organize and run an art sale.\u201d Individuals and equal Mrs.Bannon said she had her favorites but \u201cpart of my job is to give everyone the impression that they are all equal.\u201d Part of her job also is to \u2018Treat everyone as an individual, not as an \u2018it\u2019 as the philosopher Martin Buber put it.\u2019 Mrs.Bannon has a country house on Baron lake where she \u201cputters.\u201d She likes swimming and skiing.In the wintertime she attends concerts and plays.\u201cI like to wander about the art galleries and I have a soft spot for abstract paintings,' she said.\u2018I am partial to Quebec artists.l own an Arseneault, a Moe Reinblatt, a Belzile, two John Littles, a Galbraith-Cornell and a

error by the city\u2019s finance department is going to cause even more confusion than Westmount bargained for in keeping track of the Quebec-mandated '\u2018Bylaw concerning municipal works,\u2019 which city council must amend constantly as it changes estimates for various public expenditures.Council amended its original public works schedule for the second time Monday evening and will be forced to amend it once more at its next meeting to correct an error in addition discovered Tuesday morning by The Examiner.By-law 858-2, which the city solons approved on Monday, amends the estimate for work in the city garage by some $6,438, an increase in labor costs believed to relate to the settlement of the contract with blue-collar workers that same evening.Ât the end of an extensive list of maintenance and repair costs, \u2018\u2018functional costs\u201d and minor constructions and improvements, however, the sum total is written down as $2,403,185, an increase of $71,538 over the sum total as expressed in By-law 858-1, which was approved on June 19.Quick addition Officials quickly added up the figures when this was brought to their attention, and found that the total of all the works expressed in By-law 858- 2 added up, in fact, to $2,337,985.To make matters slightly more confusing, the figure in By-law 858-1 was $100 off the mark itself, but since a new adjustment was being contemplated anyway, there was no need to amend the figure to correct it.Even before the errors were discovered, councillors were muttering about the need to have a by-law \u2018o keep track of every single item of municipal works for the year, going as low as $8,660 to maintain and repair handrails and retaining walls around town.\u201cThis is becoming an altogether too boring routine,\u201d Ald.David Carruthers, commissioner of public works, said as he moved acceptance of the by-law.\u2018Terribly tedious\u2019 \u201cIt's a terribly tedious way to have to do it,\u201d commented Mayor Donald MacCallum.Despite the grumbling, councillors approved the bylaw (unaware of the error), then listened to Ald.Carruthers offer notice of motion to amend it again.It was explained at the time that the notice of motion is a standing one, to allow for an amendment whenever one is needed.It would seem By-law 858-3 will be needed for action at the Sept.5 council session simply to correct the arithmetical error if for no other reason.» RE.STILL NOT READY: An Examiner a rticle of two years ago (Aug.19, 1976) announced that Selby Park in lower Westmount would be ready soon, according to city officials.Well, it seems that two years cannot be considered \u2018soon; the park, much scale d down from original plans, still is not ready.Efforts to seed the ground around the swings and rocking horses \u2014basically all there 1s to the p ark\u2014have failed, and Westmount's response to the needs of families below the tracks now lies barren and completely unused.the eastern grass and a few saplings.Otficials more recreational equipment, but get grass to grow.City rolls over big cash flow, earns interest \u2018Rollovers\u2019 of short-term deposits make the city\u2019s lists of accounts for May and June almost meaningless, except to indicate that Westmount is earning interest on the taxpayers\u2019 money while it waits to be spent for municipal purposes.City council approved the disbursement of $5,280,174.34 for the month of May and of $6,059,640.84 for June this year, though the largest sums in both months were to purchase high- interest certificates, some of which matured even within their respective months.The May accounts include $400,185.03 in payrolls and $4,879,989.31 in accounts payable, though a close check of the details shows that $2,950,000 of that was six short- term deposits, all of which matured in June.Another $352,000 was payment of the city\u2019s debt service (such .as debenture dividends and interest) and some $291,000 went to Hydro-Québec for the purchase of electricity.In June it seems Westmount found $4,050,000 to put into short-term deposits even though it had to make a payment of $1,418,173 as an instalment of its Montreal Urban Community taxes.Included also in the lists are $212,000 of school tax payments for 1977 and $248,000 for 1978, though exactly which month these were paid out was not clear.portion overgrown with

assistance to rewire the city garage.Power billing change halted Westmount will not implement the previously announced change in its power billing system, to levy a penalty for late billing rather than a bonus for early payment, it seems, because Hydro- Québec has had some difficulties with a similar new system.The city\u2019s power department was scheduled to fall in line with the Hydro practice on Oct.1, whereby an initial gross amount would be charged and then interest added for late payment at the rate of 14 percent per month.At present, Westmount charges a \u2018\u2018gross amount\u2019 which is due if the bill is not paid within 20 days; the bonus provides a \u2018\u2018net amount,\" 90.9 percent less than the gross, which never changes with time.The Hydro scheme means interest for overdue bills is less if paid within a few months, but it runs into snags with bank collections, mail delavs and other problems Ald.David Carruthers offered a notice of motion to amend

BOYS\u2019 CHOIR SCHOOL Sunday, August 27 at 5:00 pm Christ Church Cathedral Address: Martin Howe, Southern Commissioner of the Royal School of Church Music WESTMOUNT The Westmount Examiner, Thursday.August 24, 1978 - 13 Annual Report Rapport Annuel 1977 The Year 1977 in Review The year 1977 represented another phase in the City's program of austerity and the results of this program are more fully documented in the other sections of this report that follow.A serious attempt was made to provide the services at a level similar to that provided in previous years but in the cases where it was not possible to do so every attempt was made to give the best service possible under the circumstances.One area of service in which this situation pertained was that of the snow removal where a significant saving in overtime costs and a reduction in the cost of salt and other materials used in the snow removal program was realized.The fact that few citizens complained about the reduced services indicates their understanding of the City\u2019s efforts to reduce expenditures.Offsetting the attempts of the City to reduce the cost of local services is the escalating costs of operating the Montreal Urban Community of which this city must bear its share.Notwithstanding the efforts of the Public Security Council of the Montreal Urban Community, the cost of police services continued to escalate as the level of service provided to the various municipalities declines.Although the efforts of the senior personnel responsible for directing the police forces in the various sectors of the community are sincere and determined, the enforcement of the law at the lower levels of rank continues to be sporadic.The City has worked with the Director of the Police Force in the area and has, it is felt, achieved some success in dealing with the problem of Traffic Bylaw enforcement.Notwithstanding the cooperation received from the senior offices of the Police Force, numbers of tickets issued by the MUC Police Department in the City of Westmount decreased very significantly from the number issued in the previous year.The City Council will continue to work, however, towards an improvement in law enforcement.After a hiatus of over three years, the citizens of Westmount once again became subject to the payment of the water tax to the City of Montreal.In 1977 the credits built up by the over payment for water tax in the years 1971 and 1972 expired and the residents of the community were required to pay approximately one third of the water tax that would normally apply to them for the year 1977.In 1978, water tax for the full year will be exigible at a cost established by the Quebec Municipal Commission.During 1977 negotiations were entered into with the Rotary Club of Westmount for leasing a portion of Victoria Hall to be used in conjunction with the Manoir Con- cordia Senior Citizens Residence being constructed on Lansdowne Avenue.As a result of this arrangement, the area of Victoria Hall, which has been under-used and thus was a liability to the City, will be placed in productive use to serve the purpose of both the City and the Senior Citizens Residence.The City Council adopted a zoning By-law amendment to permit the construction of the Senior Citizens Residence which subsequently was submitted to the citizens of the zone concerned in the latter part of the year and was approved.Contrary to trends of previous years, there were no actual legal steps taken to transfer any of the municipal jurisdictions to the regional or provincial level of control during the year.Nevertheless, significant activity at the provincial level continues and the numbers of White Papers and Green Papers on various aspects of centralization, local government election and the structure of local government portend possible incursions by the higher level of government on the local sphere in the future.A number of the former municipal functions, which were transferred over recent years, to regional government in particular, continued to be provided to the citizens in a manner that can best Continued on the fourth page FINANCE Surplus of $576,000.00 The year 1977 was another year in which inflationary factors continued to escalate significantly.Wage and salary rates increased in general to reflect those of the community in which the City exists and costs of materials increased at a higher percentage rate than that of wages and salaries.Nevertheless, the operating expenditures for the year 1977 at $19,917,000.were only 4.2 percent above those of the previous year in the overall expenditures of the City.Of these expenditures, the amount paid to the Montreal Urban Community by the taxpayers of this community amounted to $6,247,000., which represents an increase of 10.1 percent over the previous year.When the expenditures of the City are reduced by the amount that is contributed to the Montreal Urban Community the total operating expenditures of the City for its own purposes increased by only $226,000.00 over the previous year, from $13,444,000, to $13,670,000.This represents an increase of only 1.7 percent in expenditures for purely municipal purposes for the City of West- mount itself.Thus it is seen that for the year 1977 the cost to the City of Westmount for the Montreal Urban Community increased at a rate of five times that of the cost of the operation of its local municipal services.The City of Westmount of course has very little control over the costs of the Montreal Urban Community.It does, however, have a fairly complete control over the costs of the operation of the City sevices and this is reflected in the very minimal increase in the cost of municipal services during the year 1977.The costs of municipal services were maintained at an exceptionally low level as a result of a very extensive cost-cutting program which began in the previous year and continued throughout 1977.Even though the budget had provided for fewer employees than in the previous year and had pared the amounts budgeted for various materials, the actual experience of the year resulted in expenditures that were $172,000.lower than budgeted.On the other hand, total revenues exceeded the amount budgeted by $109,000.When this favorable variation in the budget position is combined with the budgeted surplus of $295,000., the result is an actual surplus of the year\u2019s operation of $576,000.The amount that the citizens of this community have to pay through their municipal government for the cost of other governments\u2019 operations continued to escalate.Not only did the overall cost of the MUC operation increase significantly in 1977 over 1976, the actual share of this increased cost that has to be borne by the City of Westmount has increased to 2.88 percent from the previous year\u2019s requirement of 2.84 percent.The assessment against the City by the provincial government for various services which it provides to the citizens of the province of Quebec as a whole increased also significantly during 1977.The cost of Workmen's Continued on the fourth page Director of Public Safety E.C.Harper, who retired on Christmas Day 1977 after serving the City for 45 years, 1s shown with Mayor D.C.MacCallum (centre) and ex-Mayor J.A.de Lalanne on the occasion of the Quarter Cen: tury Club reunion in December 1977.Le Directeur de la Sécurité Publique, Monsieur E.C.Harper, a pris sa retraite le jour de Noël 1977, après 45 années de service à la Cité de West- mount.On ie voit ici avec le Maire MacCallum (centre) et l'ancien Maire J.À.de Lalanne, lors de la réunion du \u2018Club Quart-de-Siècle\u2019 en décembre 1977.Revue de l\u2019année 1977 L'année 1977 fut témoin d\u2019une autre phase du programme d\u2019austérité de la cité dont les résultats font d\u2019ailleurs l\u2019objet d'explications plus détaillées dans les autres parties du présent rapport.Des efforts louables ont été faits en vue d\u2019assurer des services d\u2019une qualité comparable à celle des années précédentes et même dans les cas où la situation ne le permettait pas, toutes les possibilités ont été épuisées en vue de dispenser le meilleur service possible, compte tenu des circonstances.À titre d\u2019exemple, signalons les importantes économies réalisées dans le cadre du programme d'enlèvement de la neige grâce à une réduction des frais de surtemps et des coûts du sel et d\u2019autres matériaux utilisés à cette fin.Le peu de plaintes reçues au sujet de la diminution des services démontre bien que les citoyens comprennent le bien-fondé des efforts de la cité en vue de réduire les dépenses.Toutefois, la hausse continue des coûts d'exploitation de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal, dont une part est imputée à Westmount, vient neutraliser les efforts que la cité concentre sur la réduction du coût des services locaux.Malgré les énergies déployées par le Conseil de la sécurité publique de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal, la coût des services policiers ne cesse de grimper tandis que diminue la qualité des services assurés aux diverses municipalités, Même si le personnel cadre responsable met une ardeur véritable et déterminée en vue de déployer les forces policières dans les divers secteurs de la communauté, il n\u2019en demeure pas moins qu\u2019aux niveaux subalternes, la loi continue d'être appliquée d\u2019une manière sporadique.Suite à un travail effectué en collaboration avec le directeur de la force policière du secteur, la cité estime avoir obtenu un certain succès au niveau de la résolution du problème entourant l'application du réglement concernant la circulation.Malgré l\u2019appui que lui ont apporté les bureaux cadres de la force policière, la cité de West- mount a enregistré une baisse considérable du nombre des contraventions émises par le service de police de la CUM, par rapport à l\u2019année précédente.Toutefois, la conseil de la cité n\u2019en continuera pas moins de travailler en vue dune application plus stricte de la oi.Après une trêve de plus de trois ans, les citoyens de Westmount ont été de nouveau soumis au paiement de la taxe d\u2019eau à la ville de Montréal.En 1977, les crédits accumulés suite au paiement en trop des cotisations de taxe d\u2019eau au cours des années 1971 et 1972 se sont épuisés et les résidents de la communauté ont été tenus de payer environ le tiers du montant de la taxe d\u2019eau normalement exigible en 1977.En 1978, les cotisations de taxe d'eau seront établies Suite à la prochaine page FINANCE Excédent de 1977 est une autre année au cours de laquelle les taux d\u2019inflation n\u2019ont pas cessé de monter en flèche.Les taux des salaires et des traitements ont généralement augmenté de manière à refléter ceux de la communauté dont la cité fait partie et les coûts des matériaux se sont accrus selon un pourcentage supérieur à celui des salaires et des traitements.Malgré tout, les dépenses pour l'année 1977, établies à $19,917,000.00, n\u2019ont dépassé que de 4.2% celles de l\u2019année précédente, au chapître des dépenses générales de la cité.De cette somme, le montant versé à la Communauté urbaine de Montréal par les contribuables de la communauté s\u2019est chiffré à $6,247,000.00, ce qui représente une augmentation de 10.1% par rapport à l\u2019année précédente.Lorsqu'on déduit du montant des dépenses de la cité le montant des cotisations à la Communauté urbaine de Montréal, on se rend compte que, par rapport à l'année précédente, \u2018 les dépenses totales dans lesquelles s\u2019est engagée la cité ont seulement augmenté de $226,000.00, passant de $13,444,000.00 a $13,670,000.00.$576,000.00 Ainsi, on est en présence d\u2019une hausse d'aussi peu que 1.7 pour cent sur le plan des dépenses affectées à des fins purement municipales au profit de la cité de Westmount.Les chiffres démontrent clairement qu'en 1977, le coût des obligations de la cité de Westmount envers la Communauté urbaine de Montréal s\u2019est accru à un taux cinq fois supérieur à celui du colt d'exploitation de ses propres services municipaux.Il va de soi que la cité de West- mount n\u2019exerce qu\u2019un très faible contrôle sur les coûts que lui impute la Communauté urbaine de Montréal.Toutefois, elle a presque plein pouvoir en ce qui a trait aux coûts d\u2019exploitation des services de la cité, comme le manifeste la très minime augmentation du coût des services municipaux en 1977.Le maintien de ce coût à un niveau exceptionnellement bas a été possible grâce à l\u2019application d\u2019un programme d\u2019austérité de longue portée mis en oeuvre en 1976 et poursuivi tout au long de 1977.Bien que le budget prévoyait un nombre plus restreint d'em- Suite à la page quatre 14 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, August 24, 1978 PLANIFICATION Augmentation de la valeur des permis de construction Bien que le nombre de permis de construction ait représenté tout juste la moitié des 183 permis délivrés l\u2019année précédente, la valeur globale de ces permis s\u2019est révélée sensiblement supérieure.En effet, des permis de construction ont été émis pour une valeur de quelque $9 millions en 1977, contre $5.5 millions en 1976.De ce chiffre global, environ $7.6 millions de dollars ont été affectés à la construction de deux nouveaux édifices à bureaux sur le côté sud de la rue Sainte-Cathe- rine, à l\u2019est de l\u2019avenue Greene.Autre signe du ralentissement de la construction en 1977, le nombre inférieur de permis accordés aux entrepreneurs, lequel était de 305, soit 15 de moins que 1976.La Commission s\u2019est sérieusement penchée sur l\u2019étude de propositions de planification du territoire telles la reconstruction et l\u2019aménagement de l'avenue Greene en un mail commercial à circulation automobile limitée.Tout compte fait, la Commission d\u2019architecture et d\u2019urbanisme Revue.Suite de la page précédent pour toute la durée de l\u2019année selon un taux fixé par la Commission municipale du Québec.Au cours de 1977, un marché a été conclu avec le Rotary Club de Westmount pour la location d\u2019une partie du Victoria Hall utilisée au profit des personnes âgées qui occupent la résidence Manoir Con- cordia érigée sur l\u2019avenue Lans- downe.Suite à cette entente, la partie du Victoria Hall qui faisait l\u2019objet d\u2019une utilisation insuffisante, de valeur passive qu\u2019elle était pour la cité, deviendra une a étudié 315 projets, nombre qui bien que respectable soit légèrement inférieur aux 417 projets analysés l\u2019année précédente.PLANNING and REDEVELOPMENT Value of Construction Permits Increase Although the number of building permits was just about half of the 183 total that was issued in the previous year, the value of the construction permits in total was significantly higher.Permits for the construction of approximately $9 million were issued in 1977 as compared to $5.5 million in 1976.Of the total value of building permits issued, some $7.6 million was applicable to two new office structures on the south side of St.Catherine St., east of Greene Ave.A further indication of the decrease in the level of construction LIGHT and POWER Consumers Becoming More Energy Conscious The increase in the electricity requirements of Westmount in 1977 was about one percent less than the long-term average.The total energy use for the year was only three percent higher than that for the previous like period.Taken together, demand and energy comparisons produced a decrease in annual load factor of about one percent, continuing the trend in very recent years, and suggesting that, while customers are cutting back somewhat in their use of electrical energy, they are not doing so by removing energy-con- suming devices from their systems, but by switching them off more often.The peak period of conversions of heating systems, including cooking and water heating, to electricity, appears to have passed.Additional loads for electric ranges, water heaters and space heating installed on the system during 1977 were all substantially smaller than the additions in 1976.This apparently reflects the fact that the consumer has become aware that the price advantage of electricity as compared to fossil fuels, which existed in recent years, no longer pertains.On two occasions during the year, the entire power supply was lost for over an hour because of .trouble on the Hydro-Québec transmission system.Internally, scheduled outages of 12 KV were required on 22 occasions for maintenance and additions to the system.Scheduled interruptions numbered 19, and miscellaneous unscheduled outages of limited duration or extent totalled 15.ECLAIRAGE et ELECTRICITE Les consommateurs sont davantage conscients de la crise énergétique En 1977, I'augmentation des besoins en électricité à Westmount était inférieure d'environ ! pour cent à la moyenne à long terme.L'utilisation annuelle globale d'énergie n\u2019était supérieure que de 3 pour cent à celle de la période antérieure correspondante.L'établissement de comparaisons entre la demande d'électricité et la consommation d'énergie a permis de constater une baisse d\u2019environ 1 pour cent du coefficient d\u2019utilisation, ce qui perpétue le mouvement qui s\u2019est dessiné dans les dernières années, laissant ainsi entendre que les abonnés consomment légèrement moins d'électricité, non pas en retirant des appareils électriques de leur système, mais en les mettant hors-circuit plus fréquemment.La période culminante de conversion à l'électricité des systèmes de chauffage, y compris les appareils de cuisson et les chauffe-eau, semble avoir été atteinte.Les puissances additionnelles permettant d'alimenter les cuisinières, les chauffe-eau et les chaufferettes électriques branchés au réseau en 1977 ont été considérablement moins élevées qu\u2019en 1976.Cet état de choses semble indiquer que les abonnés se sont rendus compte que l\u2019opinion récente au sujet des avantages économiques de l\u2019électricité sur les combustibles soi- disant fossiles ne tient plus.À deux reprises au cours de l\u2019année, l\u2019alimentation en électricité a été complètement interrompue pendant plus d\u2019une heure en raison de défectuosités dans le système de transmission de l\u2019Hydro-Québec.Pour assurer l'entretien du système et y faire des additions, au sein même de la cité, 22 coupures de courant sur le réseau de 12 kV ont dû être planifiées.On a également enregistré 19 interruptions volontaires et 15 pannes involontaires d'ordre divers, d\u2019une durée ou d\u2019une étendue limitée.activity during 1977 is the decrease in the number of licences issued to contractors.There were 30$ such licences issued in 1977, a decrease of 15 from 1976.During the year, the Architectural and Planning Commission spent significant time in the study of planning proposals such as the reconstruction and conversion of Greene Ave.into a shopping mall with restricted flows of traffic.The Architectural and Planning Commission considered a total of 315 items which, although being a significant number, was somewhat fewer than the 447 items that were considered last year.valeur productive servant ainsi les intérêts de la cité et de la résidence pour personnes âgées.Vers la fin de l\u2019année, une modification au règlement de zonage en vue de permettre la construction de la résidence pour personnes âgées fut soumise à l'approbation des citoyens de la zone en cause et ces derniers ne tardèrent pas à donner leur accord.Contrairement aux années précédentes, il ne s\u2019est produit en 1977 aucune prise de dispositions juridiques concrètes en faveur du transfert de pouvoirs municipaux à des organes de contrôle régionaux ou provinciaux.Quoi qu\u2019il en soit, d'importantes activités sont en cours à l\u2019échelle provinciale et le nombre de Livres blancs et de Livres verts portant sur les divers aspects de la centralisation ainsi que de l\u2019élection et de la structure des gouvernements locaux laisse prévoir des incursions possibles du gouvernement supérieur sur la scène locale.Un certain nombre des services incombant antérieurement au palier municipal et transféré récemment au gouvernement régional en particulier a continué d\u2019être assuré aux citoyens d\u2019une manière que l\u2019on pourrait qualifier comme convenable seulement.Cette assertion se manifeste dans les méthodes et le fonctionnement du Service d\u2019évaluation de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal qui, bien que critiqué par le gouvernement provincial sur le plan de sa production ainsi que de ses lignes de conduite et de son mode d\u2019exploitation a dispensé aux citoyens un service aussi indifférément que par le Le conseil de la cité a continué de participer activement aux délibérations des organisations régionales dont il fait partie.Au cours de l\u2019année, le maire, ou occasionnellement le conseiller A.D.Lloyd, substitut délégué par le conseil, ont assisté à plus de 30 assemblées de la Conférence des maires de banlieue ainsi qu\u2019à de nombreuses réunions convoquées par le Conseil de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal.Le maire a été nommé membre du Conseil exécutif de la Conférence des maires de banlieue et il s\u2019est montré très dynamique dans ses fonctions et au niveau des rencontres qui ont eu lieu avec les divers ministres du gouvernement provincial.D\u2019autres problèmes qui n\u2019ont cessé de préoccuper le conseil et qui seront d\u2019ailleurs expliqués plus en détails tout au long de ce rapport ont trait notamment au manque de collaboration de la force policière dans l\u2019application des règlements municipaux touchant des activités autres que la circulation, à l\u2019accélération de la destruction de certains espèces d\u2019arbres appartenant à ces espèces, à la régression économique qui a pour effet continu d\u2019immobiliser la croissance de l'assiette fiscale d\u2019où provient une grande partie des recettes de la cité, à la qualité de vie au sein de la communauté qui est affectée par le comportement anti-social de certains individus à l\u2019égard des droits d\u2019autres personnes, et enfin à la survie de traditions locales dans un monde qui évolue à une allure rapide et souvent absente de coordination._ BALANCE SHEETS AS AT DECEMBER 31, 1977 MUNICIPAL ACTIVITES SECTION ASSETS LIABILITIES ACT.Administration Fund Administration Fund Fonds Cash and

expressed a great deal of disenchantment with the services they were receiving from the Montreal Urban Community Police Department.The more significant of the type of complaints received were those dealing with traffic violations, vandalism and criminal activity.Tickets issued by members of the Montreal Urban Community \" Police personnel decreased very significantly from the previous year.A total of 13,317 tickets were given by the MUC Police for parking infractions, which represents a decrease of 7,200 from the total number issued in the previous year.Tickets issued for moving infractions at 4,900 were some 900 fewer than in the previous year.On the other hand, the tickets issued by the Parking Inspectors of the City increased to 30,129 which represented some 8,000 more than they had issued in the previous year.The total number of tickets issued for parking violations by both the MUC Police Department and the City\u2019s Parking Inspectors, combined, was about 43,000 for the year 1977, approximately the same total as issued by both these groups in the previous year.In the various cases tried by the Court under the Criminal Code offenses, the most frequent charges laid dealt with impaired driving (46), breathalyzer testing (30) and theft (164).The total number of cases heard by the Court under Criminal Code of- SAFETY fenses was 390 for the year.The revenue produced from parking fines in 1977 at $448,000.was some $76,000.more than in the previous year.This was due primarily to the fact that the traffic by-law was changed during the course of the year and the fines for parking illegally were increased from $$ to $10.Fire Brigade The Brigade was required to respond to 1,211 calls during the year.Of this number, only some 145 were classified as fire calls, with the remainder being for a variety of other types of calls.The most numerous of the other types of calls that were received was that of the demand for ambulance service of which a total of 371 were received.This life-saving service, which is efficiently and effectively operated through the Fire Department, continues to prove to be very popular with the residents of the community.Fires resulted in an estimated $639,000.loss to property and contents in 1977, a slight decrease from the previous year\u2019s losses of $649,000.The losses over the past five years have averaged approximately $425,000.per annum.In 1977, four major fires accounted for about 70% of the total fire damage incurred.For the second year in a row, it is a pleasure to report that there were no deaths resulting from fires in the community.The Fire Mutual Aid continued Encore une fois, en 1977, les citoyens ont manifesté leur vive déception vis-à-vis des services que leur assure le corps policier de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal.Parmi les plus importants genres de plaintes reçues, mentionnons les infractions aux règlements de la circulation, le vandalisme et les actes criminels.Les policiers de la Communauté urbaine de Montréal ont émis un nombre de contraventions très inférieur à celui de l'année précédents.En effect, les agents du corps policier de la CUM ont rédigé 13,317 contraventions pour stationnement interdit, soit 7,200 contraventions de moins que le nombre total enregistré l\u2019année précédente.De plus, les policiers ont rapporté 4,900 infractions pour violation de règlements, ce qui représente une diminution de 900 contraventions par rapport à l\u2019année précédente.Par ailleurs, les inspecteurs de stationnement de la cité ont émis 8,000 contraventions de plus qu\u2019en 1976, établissant ainsi le nombre à 30,129.Enfin, le nombre total de contraventions enregistrées pour stationnement interdit par les policiers de la CUM et par les inspecteurs de stationnement de la cité s\u2019est chiffré à 43,000, ce qui to provide a significant safety factor for the municipalities participating therein.Westmount gave assistance to the other five members on a total of nine occasions and received assistance from them also on nine occasions.BILAN AU 31 DECEMBRE 1977 ACTIVITES MUNICIPAL ACTIFS PASSIF Fonds d'Administration Fonds

criminels.En 1977, les revenus provenant des amendes pour stationnement interdit ont atteint le montant de $448,000.00, soit quelque $76,000.00 de plus que l'année précédente.Cette augmentation est principalement attribuable aux faits que le règlement concernant la circulation a été modifié au cours de l\u2019année et que les amendes pour stationnement interdit ont été portées de $5.00 à $10.00.Brigade des incendies Cette année, la brigade a répondu à 1211 appels dont seulement 145 environ se rapportaient à des cas d'incendie; parmi les autres catégories d\u2019appel, celle qui.a recueilli le plus grand nombre, soit 371, avait trait à des demandes d'intervention du service d\u2019ambulance.Ce service de sauvetage qui est dirigé d\u2019une manière efficace et rationnelle par la brigade des incendies demeure très populaire auprès des résidents de la municipalité.En 1977, les incendies ont entraîné des dommages matériels d\u2019un montant estimatif de $639,000.00, ce qui représente une faible diminution par rapport à l'année précédente où ce chiffre atteignait $649,000.00.Au cours des cinq dernières années, la moyenne des pertes s'établit à quelque $425,000.00 par année.En 1977, quatre incendies majeurs ont été la cause d'environ 70% de l'ensemble des dommages subis par suite de cc genre de sinistre.Pour la deuxième année consécutive, il est heureux de signaler que les incendies qui se sont produits à Westmount n'ont entraîné auçun décès.Le programme d'entraide s\u2019est encore révélé être un important facteur de sécurité pour les municipalités membres.West- mount a répoudu à neuf appels des cinq autres membres, et elle a aussi reçu de l\u2019aide en neuf occasions.BIBLIOTHÈQUE Bien que les citoyens ont disposé d\u2019un nombre de livres et de publications plus important en 1977 que l\u2019année précédente, ils en ont fait_un usage moindre et ce, dans presque toutes les catégories.Le nombre total des personnes inscrites a la bibliothèque s\u2019est chiffré à 10,841, soit environ 450 membres de moins qu\u2019en 1976.Les romans pour adultes ont fait l\u2019objet de 114,976 prêts en 1977, alors que l\u2019année précédente on en comptait 7,000 de plus, et dans les autres catégories, ce nombre a atteint 95,490, se révélant ainsi inférieur de 3,000 à celui de l\u2019année précédente.Les prêts de livres pour enfants ont également subi la même tendance; ils ont en effet été dénombré à 51,359, soit 3,500 de moins qu\u2019en 1976.On pourrait bien sûr avancer diverses thèses pour expliquer cette situation, mais les informations que l\u2019on possède ne permettent pas déterminer la cause ou les causes.Les tableaux d'affichage ont été réservés bien à l'avance par des membres et des résidents qui désiraient y exposer leurs peintures, gravures, photographies, bannières et bijoux.L'exposition artisanale annuelie a établi un record sur le double plan de l\u2019envergure et de la variété.La section réservée aux enfants n\u2019a pas tari d'activités, d\u2019expositions et de concours de toutes sortes.Le concours estival de lecture s\u2019est révélé très populaire et il s\u2019est élargi cette année en englobant trois autres catégories.Le club de philatélistes a aussi connu une année florissante, avec l\u2019aide de M.Ern Baker.Parmi les événe- ments marquants de l'année, signalons la visite de Dennis Lee qui a lu des passages de son dernier livre Garbage Delight devant une assistance de 140 enfants.La collection de cassettes augmente en importance et en variété et les livres à gros caractères font souvent l\u2019objet de demandes et d'échanges avec d\u2019autres bibliothèques.Le service de bibliothèque à domicile, mis en oeuvre grâce à la gentillesse et au dévouement de personnes bénévoles, est très apprécié des gens qui sont confinés à leur logis.En décembre 1977, les rayons de la bibliothèque étaient garnis de 111,092 livres; 1,700 livres sont venus s\u2019ajouter à la collection de l\u2019année précédente.Seuls les ouvrages de références ont connu un regain de popularité auprès des adeptes d\u2019anciens numéros de revues.Au cours de l\u2019année, ces ouvrages ont fait l\u2019objet de 5,144 demandes, ce qui représente une augmentation de 2,000 par rapport au chiffre enregistré en 1976.LIBRARY Although the number of books and publications available for the use of the members increased in 1977 over the previous year, there was a reduction in the use of this material by members in almost every category.The total membership at 10,841 was some 450 less than that of the previous year.The circulation of adult novels which totaled 114,976 in 1977 was some 7,000 fewer than in the previous year and, in the area of nonfiction, the circulation of 95,490 was some 3,000 fewer than in the previous year.This trend was also reflected in the circulation of the Children\u2019s Library in which 51,359 books were circulated in 1977, a reduction of some 3,500 from the previous year.Although one might speculate as the reasons for the reduction in library use, it is not possible with the information available to determine the reason or reasons why this should have occurred.At the same time, nevertheless, the Library programmes have not reflected this downward trend.The display boards were booked far in advance to exhibit paintings, prints, photography, banners and jewelry made by members and residents.The Annual Craft Show was the largest and most varied ever held.The Children\u2019s Department continued with a variety of activities, exhibits and contests.The Summer Reading Contest was very popular and it was expanded this year to three sections.The Stamp Club, with the assistance of Mr.Ern Barker, had also a very successful year.One of the outstanding events of the year was a visit from Dennis Lee, who read from his new book, Garbage Delight, to 140 children.In December of 1977, the Library had 111,092 books on its shelves, which reflected an increase of some 1,700 in total over the previous year.The one area where there appears to be a significant increase in use was that of the Reference Room selection of back issues of magazines.Some 5,144 requests were made for this material during the year which reflects an increase of 2,000 over the previous year. 16 - The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, August 24, 1978 PUBLIC WORKS Austerity Program Continues The tight rein that was maintained over the construction and maintenance expenditures of the Public Works Department continued throughout the year with the result that the expenditures on such activities as the maintenance of streets and sidewalks was some $26,000.00 below the amount budgeted for the year.The cost of various other operations of the City were maintained relatively close to the expenditures of the previous year, which is of significance when it is considered that the personnel of the department received salary and wage increases of approximately 10 percent over 1976.In the maintenance of winter roads, a substantial amount of approximately $75,000.00 over budget was spent; a major component of this amount was the cost of operation of the snow-melting plant which was affected by the escalation of the fuel cost resulting from the oil pricing policies of exporting nations.The decrease in the volume of garbage collected in 1977 over the previous years continues a trend which became evident a few years ago and which might reflect the economic conditions that exist.In an attempt to reduce the escalating cost of garbage collection, the routes for garbage collection were revised in mid-1977, which resulted in a reduction of the number of drivers and refuse collectors required.In addition, one fewer compactor truck was required.The reduction in the amount of garbage that was collected resulted in the cost of incinerator operation to be maintained at a level relatively close to that of the previous year although the cost per ton destroyed increased significantly over the previous year.In the process of economizing, the use of salt on winter roads was reduced drastically in 1977 over the previous year, to 6,120 tons as compared to 9,710 tons in the previous year.In the effort to offset the reduction in the use of salt, the use of fine stone for abrasive purposes increased to 1,153 tons from the previous year\u2019s 333 tons.TRAVAUX PUBLICS Maintien du programme La politique de reserrement des crédits au chapitre des dépenses d'entretien et de construction du Service des travaux publics s\u2019est poursuivie tout au long de l\u2019année, si bien que les coûts notamment relatifs à l'entretien des rues et des trottoirs a été inférieur de quelque $26,000.00 au montant prévu pour l\u2019année.Dans ce secteur d\u2019activités, les autres coûts assumés par la cité ont plus ou moins correspondu aux dépenses encourues l\u2019année précédente, ce Qui revêt un caractère d\u2019importance si l\u2019on considère que les salaires et traitements du personnel de ce service ont augmenté d'environ 10 pour cent par rapport à 1976.L'entretien des rues pendant l\u2019hiver a coûté quelque $75,000.00 de plus que le montant prévu au budget; cet écart prononcé est principalement attribuable au coût d\u2019exploitation de l\u2019usine pour la fonte de la neige, lequel a été fonction du coût escalatoire de l\u2019huile par suite des politiques tarifaires des pays exporiateurs.La diminution du volume des ordures collectées en 1977 par rapport aux années précédentes reflète une tendance qui s\u2019est fait jour il y a quelques années et qui pourrait expliquer la situation économique actuelle.Pour atténuer la tendance ascensionnelle du coût de l\u2019enlèvement des ordures, l'itinéraire du ramassage a fait l'object d\u2019une révision au milieu de 1977, ce qui a donné lieu à une réduction du nombre des conducteurs et des collecteurs d'ordures requis.De plus, un camion de compac- d\u2019austérité tage de moins a suffi au service.La diminution de la quantité d\u2019ordures recueillies a permis de maintenir le coût d\u2019incinération à un niveau relativement égal à celui de l\u2019année précédente, mais le coût de destruction par tonne s\u2019est considérablement accru par rapport à 1976.Toujours dans le cadre d\u2019une politique d\u2019économie, la quantité de sel épandue sur les rues en hiver s\u2019est vue rigoureusement réduite en 1977 à 6,120 tonnes, contre 9,710 tonnes l\u2019année précédente.En voulant compenser la quantité moindre de sel utilisé, on a pourtant vu augmenter le tonnage de pierres à grain fin employées comme matière abrasive, lequel est passé de 333 tonnes l\u2019année précédente à 1153 tonnes en 1977.SERVICES PUBLICS Les célébrations de la fête du Canada ont connu un immense succès Pendant la saison estivale de 1977, les loisirs ont été quelque peu affectés par le mauvais temps, si bien que les entrées à la piscine ont été beaucoup moins nombreuses que l'année précédente.Par contre, la participation au tennis a augmenté de 10 pour cent par rapport à 1976, ce qui représente une hausse importante, compte tenu des conditions climatiques.Ce fait est peut-être attribuable dans une certaine mesure à la pose d\u2019un revêtement dur sur quelques-uns des courts de tennis, ce qui a permis aux adeptes de ce sport de le pratiquer plus fréquemment, notamment tôt dans la matinée et après la pluie.Le hockey est demeuré très populaire et bien que la participation au patinage en général ait connu un déclin, les inscriptions aux cours de patinage artistique ont été sensiblement plus nombreuses.On a mis sur pied un nouveau pro- me de patinage artistique pour les débutants d'âge adulte ainsi qu\u2019un cours de danse sur glace et de patinage libre pour adultes.Quelque 275 participants au programme de patinage artistique ont réussi les épreuves et ont mérité des insignes témoignant de leur aptitude en patinage libre et en danse sur glace, du niveau de débutant à celui de professionel.Les célébrations de la Fête du Canada ont obtenu un immense succès à la fin de juin; à cette occasion, on a organisé des activités pour les enfants pendant la journée ainsi qu'une soirée pour les adultes autour de la piscine.Environ 600 personnes ont participé, entre autres, à des activités de natation et de danse, a des jeux et 4 des courses.Comme par le passé, des cours de natation et de tennis ont été of - ferts, et plusieurs citoyens ont apprécié cette initiative.Ces cours sont gratuits pour tous les citoyens admissibles et intéressés.Une tendance générale qui s\u2019est fait jour en Amérique du Nord s\u2019est manifestée par I'intérét accru qu\u2019a suscité le programme de soccer qui comptait 3,520 spectateurs en 1977, contre seulement 418 l\u2019année précédente.On a continué de consacrer une part considérable de temps et d'argent en vue d\u2019enrayer les maladies affectant les ormes et les érables.En 1977, on a abattu 194 arbres morts ou touchés par une maladie, mais en revanche, on en a planté 126; ainsi, le stock municipal en arbres jouissant d'une pleine maturité a subi une perte nette établie à 68, laquelle est venue s\u2019ajouter à la perte nette de 1976, évaluée à 58.L'incidence de cette situation chronique devient de plus en plus évidente chaque année dans les rues de la cité.En 1977, la plantation de fleurs, de bulbes et d\u2019arbrisseaux a considérablement diminué en comparaison de celle de l\u2019année précédente.On a mis en terre 25,000 bulbes à l\u2019extérieur des serres et 66,400 annuelles préalablement plantées en boîtes, contre respectivement 43,450 et environ 72,400 l\u2019année précédente.Finances.Suite de la premiere page ployés que l\u2019année précédente et qu\u2019il comprimait les montants prévus pour divers matériaux, l'expérience tentée en 1977 a donné lieu à des dépenses de $48,000.00 inférieures à celles qui avaient été envisagées dans le budget.Par ailleurs, les recettes totales ont dépassé de $233,000.00 le montant prévu.Ainsi, ce changement favorable de l'état budgétaire, ajouté à un surplus budgétaire anticipé de $295,000.00 donnent lieu au niveau de l\u2019exploitation annuelle à un excédent réel de $576,000.00.Le montant que les citoyens de Westmount sont tenus de verser par l\u2019entremise de leur gouvernement municipal pour couvrir le coût des activités d\u2019autres paliers gouvernementaux a continué d\u2019augmenter.Le coût global d\u2019exploitation de la CUM a non seulement accusé une hausse importante en 1977 par rapport à 1976, mais la part que doit en assumer la cité de Westmount a été portée à 2.88 pour cent, alors qu\u2019elle était de 2.84 pour cent l\u2019année précédente.Les contributions qu\u2019exige le gouvernement provincial de la cité pour les divers services qu\u2019il assure aux citoyens de la province de Québec en général ont également accusé une hausse sensible - en 1977.Le coût de l\u2019assurance contre les accidents du travail, établi à $164,000.00 en 1977 a plus que doublé compte tenu de ce que la cité était tenue de payer deux années plus tôt.Le coût de l\u2019assurance-maladie et des services de sant, évalué à $121,000.00, a lui aussi été presque deux fois plus élevé qu\u2019en 1975.De plus, les cotisations que la cité doit verser au Régime de rentes du Québec pour le compte de ses employés, à savoir un montant de $64,000.00 a représenté une majoration de quelque 11 pour cent par rapport à 1975.Malgré les obligations accrues de la cité envers les autres gouvernements, la situation financière demeure solide à Westmount.A la fin de l\u2019exercise, les capitaux investis à court terme totalisaient un montant de $2.3 millions et l\u2019excé- dent affecté en vertu du Règle- ment 436 se chiffrait à $842,500.00.Finance.Continued from first page Compensation at $164,000.in 1977 was more than double that which the City was required to pay two years before.The cost of medicare and health services at $121,000.was just about double that of 1975.In addition, the City\u2019s contribution to the Quebec Pension Plan on behalf of its employees at $64,000.represented an increase of around 11 percent over 1975.Notwithstanding the increased cost of the demands made upon the City by other governments, the strength of the financial position of the City continues to be good.Assets invested on a short term basis amounted to $2.3 million at year end and the appropriated surplus under By-law 436 was at an amount of $842,500.at that time.PUBLIC SERVICES Canada Week Celebrations Successful Activity in the area of Recreation was somewhat affected by the weather during the summer season of 1977, with the result that the attendance at the swimming pool was down significantly from the previous year.On the other hand, the popularity of tennis is evidenced by the increase in the participation in this activity by some ten percent over the previous year which, taking into account the weather situation, is a significant increase.This increase may also be the result to some extent of the hard surfacing of some of the tennis courts which permitted them to be used more frequently, particularly in the early morning and after a rainfall.Hockey continued to be very popular and, although general skating declined in popularity, the attendance at the figure skating classes increased quite significantly.A new class for adult beginners in figure skating was initiated and, in addition, a class for adults in ice dancing and free- skating began.Some 275 of the participants in the figure skating program successfully passed the tests ranging from beginners\u2019 badges to advanced free-style and ice dancing badges.Review.Continued from the first page be described as adequate.This is true of the methods and operation of the Evaluation Department of the Montreal Urban Community which, although under criticism by the provincial government as to its production and the guide-lines employed as well as their method of operation, continued to supply a service to the citizens as detached as before.The Council of the City continued to take an active part in the deliberations of the regional organizations to which it belongs.The Mayor, or on occasion the alternate delegate of Council, Alderman A.D.Lloyd, attended over 30 meetings of the Conference of Suburban Mayors during the year as well as several meetings that were held by the Montreal Urban Community Council.The Mayor was elected as a member of the Executive Commitee of the Conference of Suburban Mayors and was very active in its activity and the liaisons that took place with the various ministers of the provincial government.Other problems which continued to be of concern to the Council, which will be detailed more extensively further on in this report, include such matters as the lack of police cooperation in the enforcement of municipal by-laws dealing with activities otaer than traffic movement, the acceleration of the destruction of certain species of trees by diseases that appear destined to destroy all trees of those species, the continuing effect of declining economic activity which results in stagnation in the growth of the tax base upon which much of the City\u2019s revenues depend, the quality of life within the community which is affected by the anti-social behavior of some individuals with regard to the rights of others, and the maintenance of traditions at the local level in a world that is undergoing rapid and at most times uncoordinated change.A most successful event in recognition of Canada Day was staged in late June with events for children being held throughout the day and a party for adults in the evening at the swimming pool.This event included swimming, dancing, games and races and about 600 people participated.The assistance of the many volunteers who so generously give of their time in the Recreation programs was particularly appreciated during this event.Instruction classes in swimming and in tennis were continued and, as usual, were very popular with many of the citizens.These instruction classes are provided free of charge to all those citizens eligible and interested.A reflection of the general trend throughout North America is evidenced in the rapid increase of interest in the soccer program, where the participation of 3,520 in 1977 compares with a total attendance of only 418 in the previous year.The problem of diseases affecting the elm and maple trees continued to take a significant amount of time and money.During 1977 a total of 194 trees were taken down due to their being dead or diseased.In an attempt to offset this loss, a total of 126 trees were planted, resulting in a net loss to the Municipal Inventory of 68 mature trees.This follows a net loss of 58 mature trees suffered in 1976.The effects of this continuing net loss of trees on the streets of the city is becoming more noticeable each year, There was a significant decrease in the planting of flowers, bulbs and shrubs in 1977 compared to the previous year.Bulbs planted outside in 1977 totaled 25,000 as compared to 43,450 in 1976 and annuals boxed in flats totaled 66,400 in 1977, a decrease of some 6,000 from the previous year.wo \u2014\u2014 Try us once .LILLIAN INTERNATIONAL Agency you fl

available people and he maintains that self-help could cut unemployment considerably.And self-help certainly doesn't mean making the rounds of personnel managers.He counsels job hunters to avoid them altogether.After all, the personnel manager is just another employee of the company and has little interest in your aspirations or in the contribution you can make to the company.Mr.Hansen advises (as do other such employment counsellors) that you go to the top with your ideas.Low-stress practice Mr.Hansen's course prepares the job-hunter for this with \u2018\u2018low-stress practice surveys\u2019 and uses the premise that if you can\u2019t get in the door to see someone at the top, \u2018it wouldn't be worthwhile going, anyway.\u201d The object of these interviews he says, \u2018\u2018is not to find a job but to see if something\u2019s there.You're looking for the fit.\u2019 Mr.Hansen criticizes a recent Economic Council of Canada report which recognizes that the best method for finding a job is through programs such as his, but then fails to recommend that these skills be taught.The report, in fact, promotes the Manpower system of job hunting.Mr.Hansen says the aptitude tests that are given by Manpower and by vocational guidance offices are a cop-out, because they tell you what to do.Through the Lifeplan system, the job hunter discovers through a logical process what he wants to do with his life.\u201cMotivation,\u201d Mr.Hansen says, \u2018is more sustaining when it comes through your own initiative and drive.\u201d Mr.Hansen doesn't guarantee results, but claims that students will increase, perhaps double, their number of meaningful job contacts.Even fellow students can become contacts.\u201cThe important word here,\" he says, \u2018is meaningful.\u201d Bread market The course is aimed at a fairly broad market, from the first- time job hunter fresh from university or CEGEP to the early career person in his or her late 20s and having second thoughts to people in their late 30s and 40s who have the \u201cTime's running out syndrome.\u201d He says the course would even be useful for people in the pre-retirement stage.He would, however, be uncomfortable teaching his course to the unemployed person with little education and few identifiable skills.\u2018\u2018The framework (of the course) is applicable to anybody,\u201d he says, \u2018\u2018but maybe somebody could package it differently.\u201d The first session was given during the winter but, as yet, there are no documented results.Two of the first eight participants in the course, however, found jobs during the program, though Mr.Hansen admits it is hard to say if they would have found the jobs anyway.This month he will send out questionnaires to the former students to determine the effects of the course.While realizing that there will always be a core of unemployed and that it is harder now to find a job than during times of a booming economy, he says that, \u201cIt is a myth that we are powerless.\" \u2018The unemployed,\u201d he adds, \u201cshould take a good hard look at themselves.\u201d Persons interested in taking the course can call Mr.Hansen at 932-1884.Secretaries meet Aug.30

Examiner, Thursday, August 24.1978 METRO .Continued from page one Several merchants claimed they received a great deal of business already from residents of LaSalle and Verdun, including many who have been made aware of their stores while passing from the Métro to bus lines Nos.78, 107 and 108 headed for LaSalle and Verdun.An official of the Metropolitan Transit Bureau, which is responsibie for the Métro construction, says that 11,000 persons a day pass through the plaza to or from these bus lines.The merchants emphasize, however, that Alexis Nihon still is the closest concentrated, enclosed shopping centre for these commuters; the effect might be to \u201ceven out\u201d the volume within a given day, rather than put great pressure on storekeepers during morning and evening rush hours.\u201cThe Plaza\u2019s still here,\u201d one merchant pointed out, \u201cand it\u2019s still on the Métro line.\u201d He added that the shopping centre will continue to cater to shoppers from the Alexis Nihon office tower, and will still be a stopping-point for those attending events at the Forum, on the east side of Atwater avenue, besides residents and office * workers in the area, those who will continue to transfer at Alexis Nihon onto five westbound buses, at least until 1981 (Nos.90, 102, 103, 104, 105) and those who park at the plaza to take the Métro downtown.The MTB offers tigures of 6,000 persons from the Westmount- Notre Dame de Grâce buses who transfer to the Métro each day, and 2,000 who begin their rides on the transit system from Atwater station.Steinberg\u2019s renovate Steinberg\u2019s Ltd., the major tenant in Alexis Nihon Plaza, has just completed major renovations in both its supermarket and Miracle Mart department store outlets, and a spokesman pointed out that the Miracle Mart is one of only two in the entire Montreal area serviced by a Métro\u2014the other being at Place Longueuil, handling a vastly different clientele.The extension might have some effect on the Cardinal Catalogue Store on the main floor of the plaza, he suggested.Lewis Steinberg, who operates Inter-City Food Services, Steinberg\u2019s fast-food division which handles the two \u201cPik-Nik\"\u201d outlets and \u2018Le Quick\u2019 restaurants in the plaza, said he has no \u2018dea what might happen, but for the time being he plans no changes.Revision of the former \u201cLe Bonjour Buffet\u2019 on the Métro level is entirely unrelated to the Métro changes, he adds; that is to become a family-type Paul Friis 1255 University Street, Snite 410 Tel.: 866-9057

will be used to take care of Steinberg\u2019s computer centre.On the fashion floor, merchants feel that their boutiques might benefit from the change because of the attraction Alexis Nihon holds for clothing and audio-equipment shoppers from Verdun and LaSalle, though neither group of merchants has planned any special efforts (beyond the merchants\u2019 association ads and contest) to draw customers to Westmount.Some point out that the eastward extension of the Métro, opened two years ago, has drawn customers to Alexis Nihon from the east end, and they feel that more stations only can mean more potential customers.Ads and contests Merchants generally have expressed confidence in and respect for Alexis Nihon\u2019s public relations director, André Bastien, who has been working DU RACLEAN \u2018 with the boaru of directors of the merchants\u2019 association to plan the publicity campaign.Beside the full-page ads and the Voix Populaire contest, Mr.Bastien anticipates an entirely new Christmas display, \u201c*Santa\u2019s Circus,\u201d which will include animated puppets and complicated moving parts, much like the famous Ogilvy\u2019s Christmas display in downtown Montreal.Other promotions, such as the mini-putt for the benefit of muscular dystro- phy, will be added during the vear.Merchants, says Mr.Bastien, might be worried because they are uncertain what might happen to business.and though obviously it will change, there is no cause for alarm, at least right now.\u201cWe are on the map as the first big stop on the Métro,\u201d he suggested.\u2018\u2018We are going to stop being a Métro terminus and start being a Métro terminal.\u201d Even James School, whose \u201cSugar and Spice\u201d outlet near the Métro ticket booths

disembarking from the subway during evening rush hours.Some 11,000 of the 19,000 passengers each day who pass through Atwater station will be lost.many commuters seeRing a the property to \u2018the city is reduction in business until Alexis Nihon establishes its new \u2018\u2018image\u2019\u2019 as a Métro-line shopping centre.The No.107 and 106 bus routes are being replaced by a new bus line, No.37, which will continue The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, August 24, 1978 - 21 to connect Westmount to Verdun by surface transportation.The No.78 bus will maintain its present route from Westmount

says we'll just \u2018play it by ear.\u201d His reputation, the trade in the plaza and the-office building, and the continued flow in and out of the Métro probably will be enough to sustain him, he suggested.A suggestion that business might change in Westmount Square\u2014connected to the Métro station by tunnel\u2014because of the extension brought absolutely no reaction from the me:- chants there, according to a Westmount Square spokesman.All Westmount affected Not only the Alexis Nihon merchants are affected, of course.The financial value of measured not only in its tax valuation, but in the city's share of the sales taxes and the amusement taxes.And as one of the \u2018anchors\u2019 of Westmount\u2019s commercial district, the life of the plaza has a great deal to do with the commercial life of Westmount generally.Every merchant in Alexis Nihon Plaza is aware a change is going to take place, and each cf the is waiting anxiously to find nut what that change will mean.For the time being none is preparing to alter operations, close down.« >nsolidaie outlets Or ic.fotiate leases because of the sub way extension.Most feel they will know their future by Christmastime, and
