[" 4% hike on land raises valuations 38% The overburdened homeowner will boil over in revolt when the new property valuations are translated into tax bills, according to Mayor May Cutler.The 1992 triennial roll deposited last Thursday by the Montreal Urban Community continues to shift the tax load on to homeowners.The city\u2019s $3.5-billion roll is the third highest of all 28 MUC suburbs and it\u2019s a double-whammy for taxpayers.First, overall property valuations are up 37.6 percent compared with an MUC average of 29.2 percent.This means Westmounters as a whole will be saddled with an even greater portion of MUC shared costs at a time when municipalities have to make up the shortfall from Quebec subsidy cuts.Making all of Westmount your home By LAUREEN SWEENEY In the second place, valuations of single-family dwellings in Westmount have increased by 38.7 percent compared with only 24.5 percent for commercial properties, meaning homeowners once again will pay disproportionately for both local and MUC services.\u201cIt\u2019s really pretty shocking,\u201d said Councillor Peter Trent, while leaving a meeting last Thursday of the MUC\u2019s management and finance committee.Though the city anticipated its total valuation roll would increase 30 to 35 percent, 37.6 percent was beyond expectation, he said.The big hike results from property now being assessed at 100 56¢ + 4¢ GST = 60¢ percent of real estate value rather than 90 percent, as in the past.Valuations also reflect, by law, market prices as of July 1, 1990._ Residents who check out their valuation changes also will notice huge increases in land valuation, which hit hard properties on the top of the mountain.\u201cThe new roll doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d said local valuation expert Andy Dodge after initial review.\u201cIt\u2019s going to cause mayhem.They've really stuck it to some people.\u201d - Though MUC evaluation officials said they had paid careful attention to consistency, Mr Dodge said some homes have been evaluated far above the actual sale price paid as of the evaluation date.Continued on page six Election race heats up Joan Rothman, the only incumbent to do so, has chosen to run for a councillor\u2019s seat.Three other candidates have announced this week making 13 in all;

more police presence in the coming days.\u201cI guarantee within a day or two there will be enforcement,\u201d he said.He denied this was done because the school was francophone, and pointed to

Two lone robbers held up merchants at gunpoint last week in a record shop and a clothing store near Sherbrooke street and Claremont avenue, police said.It was not known if the incidents were related.A robber wearing an Expos cap and mirrored sunglasses walked into the Phantasmagoria record shop at 5018 Sherbrooke street Tuesday, Sept 10, about 2:40 pm and pointed a gun at the cashier.He didn't say a word.The cashier got the message and put cash receipts from two drawers into a plastic bag bearing the store\u2019s name.The robber left with his loot.He was described as a 25-year-old man of possible Arabic descent having black hair and a mustache.He wore blue jeans and a white T-shirt.On Friday, a man about the same age robbed a lone cashier at the Ritsi Bis clothing store, 4928 Sherbrooke street.He produced a black revolver and ordered the 20-year-old woman to \u201cgive me the money.\u201d He took cash receipts as well as her own handbag and a bag belonging to the owner of the store who had stepped out for a few minutes.The suspect was described as a white man speaking English and French.He wore sunglasses, a white sweater and jeans.An independent traffic study ordered

The proposed closure of 10 stations of the 24 in MUC territory is part of a long-term plan \u201cto rationalize manpower,\u201d he explained.The plan with the list of stations to be axed was submitted

any cut that would affect the local station.\u201cWe pay twice as much tothe MUC as some cities.\u201d The prospect of Westmount losing its police station comes in the wake of increased MUC property valuations meaning Westmount will pay even more in MUC costs in 1992.An in-depth study of MUC costs by Councillor Peter Trent last spring revealed that costs of operating the island-wide police department had not increased in constant dollars since 1976.The number of police had been cut by 900 and should not be the Welcome to \u2018Sherwood\u2019 is; Westmounter Melissa Howells, eight years

week.\u201cThe thing is we have so many international governments, consulates and residences in Westmount that require the sense of security.That's a real good reason for keeping a station here even though the crime rate may not be as high as some areas.\u201d Dir Vézina said it was too soon to know what might happen.He said he couldn't comment on the plan other than to say it would be a political decision.Rumors that Station 23 might move, merge or even increase its patrol district have resurfaced over more than 10 years and always have been fought by the city council.The MUC rents space from West- mount in the municipal building at 21 Stanton street for Station 23.Dir Vézina had proposed to the city that it find a suitable location where a building could be built to house a large combined station from which other precincts could be patrolled, but the idea apparently was not actively pursued.Escort fire breaks out A Ste Thérése man was driving his car along the street at

Gérald Tremblay, the provincial We Say minister of industry, commerce and technology, has been sent to THE EXAMINER: Dear M.Tremblay: Your comments on the \u201cétat d'urgence\u201d of the Quebec economy and where so many business executives live, I know the movement out, the closing down of businesses with no intention of ever reopening here, the bleeding of the economic life of Good candidates OF THE welcome array of candidates coming forward for the eight city councillor seats in November's Westmount municipal election, none is better to see leading the pack than Mrs Joan Rothman.The others are of high quality and offer diverse talents but we single out the veteran of high profile service to the community if for no other reason than the continuity and the deep, valuable and varied experience promised by the Ward 6 incumbent\u2019s running.This news should be greeted by no one with more enthusiasm and relief than by our prospective new mayor and present councillor, Mr Peter Trent.She might have been contesting, with good reason and fitness, the mayoralty herself.But given her other major responsibility as a very senior PSBGM school commissioner, she is wise to aim to remain in the aldermanic role she knows so well.When Mrs Rothman resumes her place at the council table, as we hope she will, and in the many activities comprising a solon\u2019s job, her ongoing role is going to be very important to the welfare of the city.After Mrs Rhoda Vineberg\u2019s decision last week not to run again, Mrs Rothman and Mr Trent could be the only ones bringing direct council experience to the new group.In one respect, she will be doubly important in that many do not realize that she and retiring Councillor Sally Aitken between them over the years have taken responsibility, more often than not without being asked, for a multitude of things of great concern to various citizens \u2014 individuals or groups.Among the newcomers we hope there will be others who emerge as good generalists \u2014 councillors interested in more than taxation, administration, legal issues and the like.As important as are such things, in fact key to a well-run city, Mr Trent is superbly qualified in these areas and he would do well to make sure that he is supported by others who are genuinely interested in more \u2018people\u2019-oriented matters.It looks as if we are shaping up for a very interesting election and there need be no concerns about candidates.City council on its own isattracting good ones and that is as it democratically should be.Lost responsibilities ?THERE has been more preoccupation in Westmount than usual with incidents of pedestrians, often older citizens, being struck by bicycles illegally driven on sidewalks.Nowhere has this been more serious than in the parks, notably Westmount Park \u2014 the kind of place which is supposed to be a safe refuge for all ages from dangers of all sorts.Persons strolling on the pathways should not have to be concerned about being run down by either youngsters or older riders who should know better.This is going on despite a very clear by-law prohibiting cycling in places reserved for pedestrians.One might expect more stringent enforcement, particularly by our Public Security Officers who, despite their limited powers, have a remarkably good record of surveillance leading to actual arrests by the police in all kinds of crime.A major problem for the PSOs in curbing bikers in the parks is the response of wounded-looking innocence on the part of many of those they manage to apprehend.The reaction too frequently is, real or feigned, that the culprit \u201cdidn't know\u201d about the law.It is difficult for an ordinary citizen, PSO or even a constable to deal with such a plea when the parks and other areas are inadequately sign-posted with notices and warnings.Equally as bad is a lack of signage on the one designated bike path in Westmount Park.One often sees pedestrians on the bikes- only route, again because of a paucity of signs to tell one otherwise.Reorganizations of city departments saw the abandonment of a separate parks department, its duties with some logic worked into those of public works.After all, some things like mowing lawns, sweeping pavement, etc., are akin in both areas.But are they?In the administration of the expanded works duties, there does not seem to be any one individual with specific oversight of the parks, which comprise an important part of the area of Westmount and a vital facility in a myriad of ways to almost all residents.Such things as adequate signage in the parks easily can be overlooked.Perhaps when the new council takes office there will be a hard look at responsibilities of both councillors and departments, to make sure that some things are not being overlooked.Such as signs in parks.° what it needs missed the most important factor: that the present movement toward the whole Montreal area.Continued on next page Time for city's silent majority to be heard JUDGING by the issues dominating the early phase of Westmount\u2019s election campaign, this is a community of home and property owners.Mayoral candidate Peter Trent has been focussing his attention on the upcoming tax valuations.Ward 1 candidate Gail Johnson says that \u201cpeople who have chosen to live in Westmount will question the money they spend on taxes and housing values.\u201d However, most of the people who have \u201cchosen to live in Westmount\u201d are not directly affected by municipal taxation or housing values.They are tenants.According to the most recent census figures, 56 percent of the occupied private dwellings in Westmount are rented.That means that most Westmounters are tenants.That's why it's surprising that, even so early in the campaign, tenants\u2019 rights issues have barely been addressed.It's not that Westmount apartment dwellers don't have anything to complain about.Far from it.I spoke to two dozen Westmount tenants and they all have a gripe of some sort.Most of the problems tenants face are fairly minor.Sometimes repairs drag on a bit too long, or the plumbing makes rude noises on winter nights.On the whole Westmount landlords are competent and responsible.But some are landlords from hell, and their buildings are war zones.The continued trials of the tenants at the Kensington and Redfern Court apartments have read like a soap opera in the pages of this newspaper, and tenants elsewhere in Westmount have met with similar tribulations.The city, with some of the strictest apartment regulations in North America, inevitably acts, but many tenants feel that they just don't do enough, or soon enough.One Kensington Court tenant, for example, complained about the incident at her building two weeks ago, when the city barricaded the front entrance two months after warning the building's owners about building code violation.\u201cThat was good,\u201d the tenant said, \u201cbut they sure waited a long time, if the owner was warned two months ago.\u201d She doesn't feel that city hall is all that inclined to enforce its by-laws.\u201cThe company managing the buildings probably doesn\u2019t care about its tenants, but they pay big taxes,\u201d she says.\u201cThe people who make tax money for the city are the people the city is concerned about.\u201d A 10-year resident of a St Catherine street building concurred.\u201cCity hall doesn\u2019t like lower Westmount,\u201d he said.\u201cApartments don\u2019t bring in tax money, so they're all for condos, like the one at the on E Between % the Lines MATTHEW FRIEDMAN old Pom bakery.\u201cThe scuttlebutt is that the city would get rid of the apartments if they could,\u201d he continued.\u201cThere's just no interaction between upper and lower West.mount, or between city hall and us.\u201d A Sherbrooke street tenant complained that the mechanism for tenants to bring their grievances to council just doesn't exist.\u201cThere should be an office at city hall which deals solely with tenants\u2019 rights issues.\u201d It\u2019sa good idea.The City of Westmount should have a mechanism designed specifically for the majority of residents who aren\u2019t directly affected by valuations and tax rates.They are part of our community but they have special interests and problems, and they need some official conduit for their grievances.With an election six weeks away, voters will have one of those rare opportunities to have a direct hand in the moulding of public policy.Westmounters who rent their homes can voice their concerns through the ballot box.But tenants\u2019 concerns are not, as yet, on the campaign agenda, and they will only become an election issue if someone makes them one.The Westmount Tenants\u2019 Organization, strangely quiet since February, is encouraging tenants to exercise their rights.The WTO's Wade Allen wants tenants to make sure they get on the electoral list and vote.He'd like to see a tenant run in the election, and with more than half of Westmount living in rented dwellings, Mr Allen points out that a tenant candidate could do well at the polls.There are candidates who are vaguely sensitive to tenants\u2019 interests, but they- \u2018ve got to be pushed and prodded, until they commit themselves to pursuing tenants\u2019 special interests.When the WMA holds its ward committee meetings next month, tenants will have the perfect opportunity to meet, and lobby, their candidates.If tenants do, indeed, feel that they are being neglected by the city, then now is the time to demand change.An opportunity like this only comes around once every four years.ane fa = pre Th e West mount BE xaminer The Westmount _ Examiner,
