of the Greene avenue buildings being sought by Loge Antoine Ltd.for renovation may come soon, Westmount MNA Hon.Kevin Drummond said Monday.He said he hopes to meet with officials of the Quebec roads department this week to hammer out fine details concerning location of service facilities for the Trans-Canada Highway, which must be resolved before the Quebec Housing Corporation will offer a grant for renovations.\u201cI spend my life putting pieces together,\u201d Mr.Drummond said of his extensive work in assuring that the provincial grant is approved.Meanwhile, the Quebec Rental Board this week turned down an appeal by residents of the buildings to have their eviction notices rescinded.The board upheld the notices sent out by the roads department in January.\u2018considering that demolition is for public purpose.\u201d Residents Milton Hotton, Doris Amos and Linda Bartham are reported ready to appeal the decision on the basis of a letter from the roads department expropriation division which states that no land on which the buildings are built is needed for an access ramp to the Trans- Canada Highway.Learner driver leaves hairpin to miss a dog A young learner driver took a short cross-country trip across a road divider on Mount Pleasant avenue on Friday after swerving to miss a dog wandering into the street.Miss Mary Saia was driving with a chauffeur-licensed driver north on Mount Pleasant at 3:39 pm and had just made the 130- degree left turn on the zig-zag street past the intersection of St.Sulpice road.As she completed the turn, a dog appeared in front of her, causing her to lose control of the vehicle, which swerved off the south shoulder of the street.The car travelled through small trees and shrubs, eventually ending up on the south side of the island dividing the two sections of the street.No one was hurt in the mishap.though extensive damage was caused to the front of the car and to the greenery it hit.Park scheme not planned Aldermen -declared Monday evening they had no knowledge of any immediate or long-term plan for a park project which might affect dwellings on Greene avenue immediately below Dorchester boulevard.A Greene avenue resident.and another from Staynor street nearby, said they had heard rumors to that effect.They appeared satisfied with the reassurance, given during the question period.Toy pistol fails, knife yields $500 A young male adult | pulled a plastic pistol on a Greene avenue restaurateur last Thursday, asking for all his money.The proprietor called the man's bluff, whereupon the robber pulled a knife and repeated his demand.Without argument, the owner handed over $500 to the criminal.The MUC Police robbery .division is investigating the (holdup.Holdup, snatch: trio arrested; woman nabs 1 An apparently connected robbery and a purse snatch last night in and near Alexis Nihon Plaza brought quick arrests of two adults and a juvenile, thanks to the co-ordinated efforts of Westmount Police, the MUC night patrol and a sharp-witted victim.Three young men held up a 35- year-old man with a toy pistol near the St.Catherine street entrance of Alexis Nihon Plaza at 10:48, demanded his wallet and ran off with the item.which contained $25 and personal papers.Moments later.two snatched a purse containing $19 from a woman at St.Catherine and Green avenue.The woman was able to grab one of her assailants, age 19, and held him by the neck until Westmount Police arrived.Within minutes.constables arrested a 17-year-old nearby; shortly after.the night patrol arrested an 18-year-old youth at his home in Montreal.All three were charged with armed robbery.and the two arrested by Westmount Police were charged also with theft.The trio are to be arraigned in Montreal Court of Sessions.Water billing still hung up Dr.John Jonas, 311 Metcalfe avenue, was told in answer to a question following Monday evening's city council meeting that the 1972 water bills of the City of Montreal remain under appeal and that the 1973 levy, for which bills not yet have been issued.may go the same course.The city attorney thought that the situation may be remedied, alternatively, by provincial legislation having retroactive effect.A hearing, he said, was scheduled on the 1973 water tax this week.Store robbed A small amount of cash was taken from a clothing store at 4901 Sherbrooke street some time between 5:30 pm Saturday and 4:50 pm Sunday.There were no signs of forced entry.au Ur Trust is now paying = = eg ph monthly CET ET a While there are no personal chequing privileges on this account, a
