By KATHLEEN HUGESSEN The overriding impression given by the Westmount recreation department's 13th annual Family Day was one of color.The clusters of bright balloons, the hundreds of children in summery shorts and tops, the carnival booths festooned in brilliant cloth, the harried parents dressed for the sun, the tables and booths decorated in many hues and the sun itself all contributed to the glittering pageant of color.The weather could not have been better: an almost cloudless, sunny day with a moderate breeze to make the heat bearable.The day started with a parade made up of emergency vehicles, Girl Guides with a wheelbarrow float of a garden, followed by a llama and a band, Les Coeurs d'Or de St Zotique.Numberless activities kept children and adults occupied throughout the day.Pony rides, Boum the Clown, carnival booths with prizes (principally, it seemed, water pistols) for lucky win- Continued on page 25 MUC police and PSU changing colors MUC white and PSU yellow are hitting the streets of Westmount.New colors for patrol vehicles were unveiled locally by both the \u201cOh, Fenton's the breadwinner, but | win the bacon, the eggs, the meal, the wine, the desserts By LAUREEN SWEENEY MUC police force and the city's own public security service Saturday at Family Day.The new look appeared to generate enthusiastic reaction among those who viewed the new mini-vans on display, many saying the lighter colors were easier to see.The shift to yellow by the city\u2019s security unit, along with the use of emergency red flashers, had been announced some time ago with the ordering of two new mini-vans.However, the phasing in of white MUC police cars to replace the well- known blue came as somewhat nf a surprise to most The new white vehicles, explained Constable Michel Caza, are expected to be put into service this month as each of the MUC's 24 stations receives one new mini-van, All vehicles, as they are replaced, also will be white with blue markings.Yellow means PSU The PSU\u2019s new yellow vans, which carry red markings, were received last week and went into service on the weekend.They replace two of the navy blue and white patrol cars.The unit's four other navy and white vehicles will be replaced in years ahead in the new yellow, said PSU Director Richard McEnroe The color change was made to per Continued on page eight 1 June 2, 1988 The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, 2 - WESTMOUNT AVIS PUBLIC RECONSTRUCTION DU CHEMIN DE LA CÔTE SAINT-ANTOINE AVIS PUBLIC est par la présente donné par le soussigné, greffier de la Ville de Westmount, qu'une assemblée publique se tiendra dans la Salle du conseil à l'Hôtel de ville de Westmount, 4333, rue Sherbrooke, Westmout, Québec, le jeudi 9 juin 1988 à 19h00, sous la présidence du conseiller Peter Duffield, commissaire des Travaux publics, afin d'étudier et de discuter des plans préliminaires revisés pour la reconstruction du chemin de la Côte Saint-Antoine dans la Ville de Westmount.Cette assemblée publique est ouverte à toutes personnes intéressées.DONNE sous mon seing à Westmount, Québec, ce 31*\" jour de mai 1988.Robert C.Wilkins Greffier de la ville WESTMOUNT PUBLIC NOTICE RECONSTRUCTION OF COTE ST.ANTOINE ROAD PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given by the undersigned, City Clerk of the City of Westmount, that a public meeting will be held in the Council Chamber of Westmount City Hall, 4333 Sherbrooke Street, Westmount, Québec, on Thursday, 9 June 1988 at 7:00 pm, under the chairmanship of Councillor Peter Duffield, Commissioner of Public Works, in order to review and discuss the revised preliminary plans for the reconstruction of Cote St.Antoine Road in the City of Westmount.This public meeting is open to all interested persons.GIVEN under my hand at Westmount, Québec, this 31* day of May 1988.Robert C.Wilkins City Clerk Next Scheduled City Council Meeting Monday, June 13, 8 pm Date de la prochaine séance du conseil municipal Le lundi 13 juin, 20h00 CITY HALL/HÔTEL DE VILLE vesmam ra 935-8531 Monday-Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm Fire (business calls) 19 Stanton St.935-2456 Police (business calls) 21 Stanton St.280-2223 Municipal Court, 21 Stanton St.935-8531 Local 351 or 352 Nights, weekends and holidays Victoria Hall, 4626 Sherbrooke St.W.935-2066 Municipal Yard, 14 Bethune St.935-8037 Light Department, Glen Road 935-8218 Library 935-8444 Public Security Unit 935-1777 Lundi à vendredi, 8h30 à 16h30 Incendie (bureau d\u2019affaires) 19, rue Stanton 935-2456 Police (bureau d'affaires) 21, rue Stanton 280-2223 Cour municipale, 21, rue Stanton 935-8531 Local 351 ou 352 Nuits, weekends et jours de fête Hall Victoria, 4626, rue Sherbrooke ouest 935-2066 Voirie, 14, rue Béthune 935-8037 Service d'éclairage, chemin Glen 935-8218 Bibliothèque ;

Vol.LX, No.23, Thursday, June 2, 1988 s iation, Ontario Cc ty Newspapers Association.CCNA / Nu LIT) CIRCUL ATION eaQ Justice served WHAT a silly spectacle was last week's arrest and brief detainment of a local woman convicted in municipal court for leaving her dog unattended in Westmount Park.- Silly not for the police, the justice system, the City of Westmount or its by-laws.Rather, it was silly for the woman involved and for the media which made so much out of her attempt to buck justice.Seemingly forgotten midst the uproar of an otherwise upstanding citizen being hauled off to jail for such a minor offense is the underlying principle: she was not arrested or detained because she had left her dog unattended for a few moments.Her run-in came as a result of her deliberately (and very publicly) disobeying a court order, that being to pay a fine as a result of her conviction.At that point, as a local police officer told us last week, the nature of her \u201ccrime\u201d becomes irrelevant.She was arrested as would be anyone else who disobeyed the direct order of a judge, was detained as would be anyone else and released when, finally, she did as the judge had ordered, that is, pay her fine.What we hope she and others who sympathized with her will learn from this is that our democratic right to protest things we do not like does not extend to the point where convicted persons can choose their own method to protest the punishment set by the court.There is only one way to do that, the legal avenue of appeal against what one considers wrongful judgments or too-punitive sentences.In this case, the convicted woman chose not to exercise those legal rights of appeal.In the eyes of the law, and of all of us who respect the rule of law in our society, this left no alternative but to use all legal means to see that she followed the judge's order to pay the fine imposed.* * * IT CERTAINLY is strange for all this legal and police activity to flow from a simple dog case, but it is not unwarranted.Those who say the police should not be wasting their time on such trivial matters miss the point that were this woman ignored and allowed not to pay her fine, where would we draw the line?Surely we do not want the police to decide which rulings by judges are to be enforced and which are to be ignored.Besides legal avenues of appeal of her conviction and/or sentence, this woman also has the right, as do all of us, to press politically for changes to what presumably she sees as an unjust by-law.Curiously, we have not seen her at city council meetings nor have we seen other evidence of her lobbying for such changes.If she hoped her sacrificial exploits in flouting the ruling of a local judge would win changes to the by-law or how it is enforced, we are sure she will be disappointed.\u2018 There is, however, a case to be made for even more stringent enforcement of our bylaws regarding dogs.All too often we see dogs tied to parking meters or other objects while owners are in shops or elsewhere.If the danger is real that-such dogs pose a hazard to passersby, as we believe is true no matter how apparently even-tem- pered the dog, then many more dog owners should be brought to account for their negligence so the practice is stopped.Why not charge extra?IF THE everyday person could understand what goes on at our post office, it wouldn't .be our post office.It seems that without a labor dispute and, - now, without even a deficit for the public to gripe about, the busy folk at Canada Post Corp decided they should stir up trouble with something else.\u201c That something else was an announcement last week that the post office would add a 10-cent surcharge to any letternot bearing .a correct postal code.This was followed the next day by another announcement by Mr Who-can-remember-his-name-be- the outfit that the earlier announcement was a mistake and there will be no such surcharge.Which proves only that the bosses at Canada Post must be feeling very sensitive these days.Despite the hue and cry from some quarters which obviously had its desired effect, we can't see a single thing wrong with the idea of a surcharge for uncoded mail.Our thinking goes like this: The postal code supposedly allows mail to be moved faster and cheaper.It thus costs more to a letter without the code.Why process cause-he-geldom-surfaces, who heads up ., should those who take the time and effort Attention Mrs Slosmanis: Your 15 minutes are up Sir: I have been following the Slosmanis vs city hall debacle for some time now, and feel that they both (all) have had more than the 15 minutes of fame Andy Warhol warned us about.There is only one participant in this silliness who has come out of all this with her dignity intact, and I cheer loudly for her.Let's all hear it for Charlie!

Would anyone in the early 1980s have guessed that the president of the United States, who described the Soviet Union as \u201cthe evil empire,\u201d would find himself on the \"streets of Moscow in 1988?And were he to return in 1989 he would likely see McDonald's golden arches dotting the Moscow landscape.Only a few years ago polls showed that many Canadians viewed a nuclear confron- - tation between superpowers as inevitable.Today I suspect a similar poll would show a dramatic decrease in those numbers.The summits between President Reagan and General Secretary Gorbachev should receive most of the credit.Glasnost seemed - impossible under his predecessors.The abiding question is whether glasnost is all show and no substance.Here President Reagan deserves credit for placing the emphasis on human rights during his trip to the Soviet Union.In a column two weeks ago, I pointed out the change in Soviet policy on human rights was less than we might think, reading the daily newspapers.All the pomp and circumstance surrounding summit meetings and disarmament talks disguise the fact that a genuine coming together of East and West will not happen until there is a dramatic change in the Soviet attitude toward individual freedom.The Soviets argue that our perceptions are out of date and that there have been major changes.Compared to the terror of Stalinism that is perhaps true, but based on the documented evidence of human rights violations, the Soviet Union remains a far cry from a freedom-loving democracy.I am impressed that the president saw fit to take on that issue and \u201cbeard the lion in his own den,\u201d so to speak.Hon.Richard D.French says.Liberating the BREF ANDRE Bourbeau, minister of municipal affairs, has introduced legislation which will permit the Bureau de revision de l\u2019évaluation foncière (BREF) to fully exercise its role as arbitrator of the fairness of property evaluations.The BREF's role is to judge the accuracy of the evaluations undertaken by the evaluation service of the Montreal Urban Community, when property owners decide to appeal.Its capacity to respond to appeals is in question because Taxe$ Action is suing to invalidate the 1988 roll, thus \u2014 under the current law \u2014 paralysing the BREF.Mayor May Cutler and I wrote a month or so ago to Mr Bourbeau and to Herb Marx, the minister of justice, asking that the law be changed to permit the BREF to operate despite the lawsuit, and thus respond to the hundreds of appeals which homeowners will wish to lodge.That is what Mr Bour- beau is in the process of doing.On the global question of a more equitable evaluation system, the technical committee of the municipal commission of Quebec will be making a series of recommendations to the minister, who will in turn submit legislation to the National Assembly this fall.As we reported here several weeks ago, the minister has committed himself to ensuring that there will be no repeat of last year\u2019s \u201ctaxation psychosis.\u201d Not only do we need an improved technical framework for municipal taxation, one which will arrest the transfer of the tax burden onto the shoulders of

encouraged by your written response to our mid-March resolution concerning municipal expenditures.Your response indicated your intention to compare in depth the Westmount budget with the budget of parallel cities in the MUC through their mayors.Since that time and our subsequent follow-up telephone conversation, it appears that progress in this area has stalled.Meanwhile, statements have been made by city officials to the effect that per capita comparisons are a poor basis of comparison for municipal expenditures.Unfortunately, no guidance has been provided as to what is a better overall measure of relative efficiency in the delivery of municipal services and a better indicator of where to look for possible savings.The WMA cover letter of March 14, 1988, which accompanied the

renovated Peugeot building By CHARLES MAPPIN It was a question of dollars that made the developer of the Peugeot Westmount building change his mind about the nature of his future tenants.When François Simard spoke to THE EXAMINER last December, he had ambitious plans to turn his building at 4269 St Catherine street, between Clarke and Olivier avenues, into 17 loft-style condominium units.However, a sign went up on the site recently advertising the availability of commercial and office space, indicating that the original plans had been changed.Unfortunately for Mr Simard, Westmount's zoning by-law doesn't permit lofts in the city.A possible alternative was conversion to a more typical residential condominium building.This turned out to be a more expensive undertaking and would have generated less money in sales than conversion to a commercial and office building.Mr Simard gives this as the reason for his change of plans.He acquired the property, formerly the Roger Automobile Peugeot dealership, last August for $2.3 million.It had been vacant for several years.He imagined the building would be perfect for condos because of its central location and its interesting interior structure.While it appears to be an ordinary four-storey building from the street, the structure actually has eight levels set off from one another at half-storeys.A spiral ramp circles the perimeter of the building, flattening out at each floor.This would have allowed for split- level living spaces.The rooms have high ceilings with widely-spaced support pillars and no interior walls.They could easily have been transformed into roomy loft apartments.Before the renovations had even A&F Baillargeon MOVING & STORAGE Quebec's mover since 1901 866-1097 Express WINDOW WASHING HOMES e OFFICES

in the building were sold, Mr Simard says.Then he saw his construction costs rise through the roof.While he appreciates the high standards set by Westmount's building code, he says material and manpower required to meet them wouid have substantially raised the project's costs.Selling the units in the projected range of $180,000 to $300,000 became impossible.Raising the prices would have put the apartments in the same price range as the other condos now on the market in Westmount.\u201cOur market Survey indicated I should forget that idea and make it a commercial building,\u201d Mr Simard says.He says he settled with the people who had already reserved space, adding \u201cwith such an active condo market, they had no problem relocating.\u201d One reason building in this city is more expensive than elsewhere is that Westmount requires sprinklers throughout new and renovated buildings and copper pipes rather than cheaper plastic ones.This has resulted in an interesting situation at the Dawson College Mother House site which straddles the Westmount-Montreal border.In the Westmount part of that building, the new pipes are copper to comply with this city\u2019s code.The copper stops exactly at the border where the builders changed to plastic pipes.\u201cWe're keeping much of what we had planned for the Peugeot West- mount,\u201d Mr Simard says, \u201cbut less Architect's

atrium, the only major structural change to the building, will allow natural light to bathe the lobby from above.The atrium will also feature a glass elevator.Tenants have the choice of buying their office space, thereby acquiring a condominium office, or renting it in the conventional manner.Rentals are in the range of $13 to $16 per square foot annually.The space can be bought outright for an average of $150 per square foot.The ground floor will be commercial and the other levels will have offices.Mr Simard hopes to have two stores split the shopping level.He says the office space is about 30 percent accounted for and leases are being negotiated with other tenants.One tenant of the building will be Jane Adams Custom Design Mirrors.The company, which is currently in the New Sherbrooke building and has been ousted from there for the expansion of the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, will have offices and a showroom.The offices of Hamilton Licensing, the international trade financing consultant, will also be moving to the building.Occupancy in the Peugeot West- mount is expected for late July or early August.Cigarette thieves strike two stores Two Westmount dépanneurs on St

Court decision may affect Nihon Plaza fire suits Lawyers involved in multi-million dollar claims resulting from the Alexis Nihon Plaza fire are said to be anxiously awaiting a decision by the Supreme

Plaza fire, according By LAUREEN SWEENEY to Westmount city prosecutor John Donovan.\u201cMost of the lawyers are waiting for that decision which is coming soon,\u201d he told THE EXAMINER Tuesday.The

cases when lawyers don\u2019t mind By LAUREEN SWEENEY Westmount\u2019s municipal court has resumed hearing criminal cases in instances where lawyers are prepared to proceed.Judge William Shaw is presiding over the cases, city prosecutor John Donovan told THE EXAMINER Tuesday.Criminal proceedings in the municipal court had bogged down over a jurisdictional challenge to Judge Keith Ham over the methods used in his appointment.The challenge is before the Quebec Court of Appeals.For almost a year, in consequence, Westmount criminal cases have been referred downtown to Sessions Court.Judge Shaw, has continued to preside over traffic and other noncriminal cases.The move to increase Judge Shaw's work results mainly from the preference of many lawyers to have their cases settled in the municipal court, Mr Donovan explained.\u201cWe.did refer a number of cases to Sessions Court but Judge Shaw is now sitting on most cases where defence lawyers have said they would not raise the question of jurisdiction.\u201d Judge Shaw's appointment was made many years ago in a different manner to that used now by the Quebec provincial government.Most municipal court judges in Quebec are appointed by order-in- council, a procedure which has been challenged in several municipalities, including Westmount, as providing insufficient security of tenure to render them independent in terms of hearing criminal code cases.The challenge to Judge Ham was made in the impaired driving case against Gilles Braconnier May 13, 987 (see story June 26).a] e Other similar challenges took lace in other municipal courts and were subsequently upheld on appeal in a Superior Court judgment Feb 18.The matter is now being appealed before the Quebec Court of Appeals by the Quebec attorney general in

Lawsuits totalling more than $68 million were served jointly and severally against the cities of West- mount and Montreal following the fire Oct 26, 1986.Most of the claims allege negligence by firefighters in the spread of the fire beyond the 10th floor of the 15-storey tower.The new tower has been rebuilt within the frame of the original structure.Only seven percent of the building lies in Westmount territory and local firefighters became involved only after the fire spread into the West- mount section.Although actual court proceedings are \u201ca long way down the line,\u201d Mr Donovan said, one lawyer for an insurance firm concerned with a group of tenants already has examined two members of Westmount\u2019s fire department in the matter.Another out-of-court examination is
