possess her, Mrs. John Rudy moved
yesterday afternoon from the tenement
house at 10S North Elliott place, Brook

know that her action was not prompted
by the agent or by workmen engaged
In tearing down the building over her
head, but was due to the fact that she
had found a suitable home elsewhere.

building department pronounced the
North Elliott place house dangerous

tore off the roof. That was too much
for FIVE of the families and they quit.
