CITY SEIZES LAND BUT
 LOCATION IS MYSTERY
Assessors Fail to Find It;
 Engineers Asked to Help

The City of New Britain has two building lots for sale, but prospec- tive purchasers could not today have an opportunity to view the premises. for the simple reason that city of- acials do not know where the prop erty is located.
 The land is on Overlook avenue and was the property of Andrew Syrak until he allowed his tax ac- count to run along eight years. Pro- ceedings were brought by the tax collector and the city court turned over the land to the city. Bids have been advertised for and al- ready several prospective buyers have made inquiry.
 Collector Loomis asked the board of assessors to assist by pointing out the land yesterday but the officials returned after fruitless search and today the engineers of the board of public works were asked to locate 1t by means of maps and measure ments on file in city hall.
