Hirsch Evictions Raise Tension in New Jersey Village
In Woodbine New Jersey a seven year project started by the late Garon Iicech faced mounting strife with local management and selling agents. Twelve farmers and sixty people were evicted in a dramatic move as families, many lacking English, packed disheveled homes and furniture into a dilapidated space. Pioneer settler Barmeter, from Treusia seven years ago, saw his home invaded as writs of eviction were served. Authorities offered $22 per month as an incentive, a plan challenged by the superintendent who said negotiations were ongoing and many evicted might be aided by charitable institutions. The scene showed residents displaced and uncertain about immediate next steps.
