Matthews made his comments .last week during a neighborhood meeting at Grace Presbyterian Church on Carver School Road. About 20 residents rejected Brandon's plans to renovate the house and agreed to continue their legal action against Brandon. More than 90 percent of the residents in Monticello Park have signed a petition, stating that ~ Brandon violated a 1960 restrictive covenant of the neighborhood when he moved the house into the subdivision. The covenant requires all homes in the neighborhood to have an area of at least 1,200 square feet and cost at least * $12,000. Matthews says Brandon's house violates the covenant because it measures only 960 square feet and is worth no more than $5,000. "This house comes under the definition of a shack," Matthews said. "If he (Brandon) had honorable intentions, he would take that house out of the neighborhood.'* Brandon says he plans to spend $40,000 to S50;000 to renovate the house. His renovations will include building an additional room to bring the house up to the 1,200-foot requirements. "Certainly, the house doesn't look very good right now," Brandon said. "(But) every code restriction will be met. It will be , nice enough that it will outshine some of the homes in the neighborhood." Most of the homes in Monticello Park range in price from $50,000 to $175,000. it m - - -1 ne neignoors have a right to disagree., with me if they want to," Brandon added. "I hope we can resolve this without digging up any nasty feelings.'* - His daughter, Gail Brandon, will live in the home when the renovations are completed, he said. , "I am backing my father 100 percent on this," said Ms. Brandon, a local businesswoman. Despite Brandon's assurances, the neighborhood group is pursuing legal action against him. Judge Melzer A. Morgan issued a temporary restraining order against Brandon on Sept. 2 to stop repairs and work on the house's foundation. The dispute flH IGftron if w. nst.

"I am not interested in making a federal case out of this,*' said Brandon, who has lived in the neighborhood for 16 years. "It will be resolved quietly." Brandon says he never signed or agreed to the covenant. "I didn't pay any mind to it," he said. Chester C. Davis, an attorney for the group, said Brandon gave his implied agreement to the covenant when he moved into the neighborhood. "It is not a question whether he signed it or agreed to it,'* Davis said. "His title had the covenant in it." Brandon's attorney, Curtiss Todd, declined to comment on the case. "I don't want to comment because the matter is pending in court," he said. Several residents charged that Brandon plans to sell the house for profit after its renovations are completed. "If t)e spends $20,000 on this house, he says it will sell for $60,000 to $70,000," Matthews said. Brandon' denies the charge, saying that he has no plans to sell the house. "How in the hell will I make a profit by giving (this - Other residents said that Brandon did not tell them he was planning to move the house into their neighborhood. "I just looked out the window one morning, and I saw that house sitting over there," said Troy L. Davis, who lives at 3330 Cumberland Road. "He has broken our code, and that house has to go." Matthews criticized Brandon for failing to attend two neighborhood meetings about the dispute. "If he didn't have contempt for this community, he would have presented these plans to us himself," he said. Brandon said he did not know anything about the meetings. "I wasn't going to a meeting anyway to be castigated," he said. Despite his criticism of Brandon, Matthews said the retired dentist has been a friend to the neighborhood.?"No one-could ? have been a better friend than Dr. Brandon," Matthews said. "But he is using his friendship to ex: ploit the neighbors." Brandon denied that he was exploiting the neighborhood.

They were convicted and sentenced to death in February. The last ANC member to be hanged was Benjamin Moloise, a self-described poet who was executed at the Pretoria prison in October for the slaying of a security policeman. Botha turned down a clemency appeal and ignored worldwide condemnation of the execution. In contrast to the hangings of other ANC members in past, years, there was no foreign outcry against Tuesday's executions, and there were few calls for clemency. On the eve of the executions, the?United?Democratic Front anti-apartheid coalition said that "going on wun me nanging can only be seen as immoral and unjust.
