The block is one in which there are
many private houses owned by the occu-
pants and the apartments are Of high
grade There is only one tenant in the
Luerssen house, David g. Brown When
Mr. Brown saw the sign he declared
unless it was removed he would leave
the house at once.
A majority Of the tenants Of No. 26I
say they will move, and real estate deal
ers and agents fear an invasion Of Ne
groes into Flatbush. The real estate
agent who had the keys OF the house
sent them to Luerssen as soon as he saw
the sign.
Luerssen IS policeman attached to
