That is the recommendation from a council sub-committee comprised of Ald. Wayne Watkins, Ruth Arnaud and Mike Creasy. The report dealt primarily with the utilization of a vacant municipal lot in Brentwood Bay, adjacent to the library. The committee met with 17 different community groups Nov. 26-28 and Dec. 4 in a series of half-hour interviews to discuss the Brentwood proper- ty. . .

It purports to be the first full account of the shocking truths surrounding. the life of Lady . Mary Brandon. She died in 1942, honored and celebrated for her scientific work, her educational endowments, and for her career as a suffragette,. for which she was branded a radical and..a crank by her ‘*respectable’’ peers. | Yet Bell in his. forward. to these. ‘“‘recently discovered’’ ‘papers speaks of. ‘“‘large-scale and § fraud, perversion homicide’’, and other suspicious events attending. the death of her husband-cousin, Sir Charles Brandon. As we approach the heart of the mystery, appearances dissolve;) nothing is what it seemed. The tale is cleverly tricked out as. a_ biography, replete with letters, transcripts of .the coroner’s inquests, notebooks, collected and edited papers. This splendidly written literary game is steadily: engag- _ing, slyly sustained, and wholly delightful.
