Today the debris formed long pile of tangled junk, awaiting the arrival Of trucks for removal. The owners will salvage the ValuableB, and what they leave will be taken away in city trucks and destroyed
 Court Actions
 The eviction proceedings were brought by Samuel II. dreenberg, nephew of Mrs. s. A. Weinstein, elderly operator of the dispossessed store. Non payment of rent during the past several months is the basis for the actlon-although for more than Q year the lease of the store has been subject of two summary process actions in the city court.
 It was reported today that al- though the WeinStein property was hardly settled in the gutter, a new owner was ready to move in imme- diateiy.
 0reenberg has been attempting to remove the WeinSteins from the store for some time. He was unsuc- cessful in his two summary process actions which were brought in city court His success in this instance is duo to the fact that the Vein stein lease expired in February ane was not renewed.
 Coleman Tannenbaur1, spokesman for the Weinsteins said today that in the past dreenberg has attempted to have the Weinsteins voluntarily break their lease before February One such act, he said, was the at- tempt to raise the rent from $500 to 9400 monthly.
 Suit Filed
 Most recent of the practices, he said, was the turning on of ex- cessive heat during the summer months in the store. Not only were customers sweated away from the store, but valuable furs were des. troyed by the heat, he said. As a re- suit the Weinsteins have filed suit for S2,600 aganist dreenberg.
 The Weinstein store had been a South Main street landmark for the past A years. 0reenberg's mother and s. 4, Weinstein, late owner of the dispossessed store, were brother and sister.
 Merchandise, including dresses and coats. were placed in packing boxes before being evicted. But Q huge safe, chairs. window display models, Q variety of racks, furs. rugs and other equipment reclined in the gutter.
 MT. Tannenbaum said that the equipment when new represented an outlay of e3,000. He also said that 6 large amount of the Weinstein equipment had been sold to the new lessee of the store.
 None of the goods will be removed from the street until after s o'clock today. The law requires that 1t be left for 24 hours after being evicted.
