MORTGAGE TANGLE
 INQUIRY HELD UP
House BendZa Agreed to Move Still OYerhangs Highway

No report will be made 10 the common council at next weeks meeting, by the special committee appointed to investigate the situation brought about by the alleged failure of the city to obtain proper releases in connection with the taking of Fred Bendzas property for highway purposes when Willow street was cut through from Daly avenue, it was decided at a meeting of the com mittee last night.
 Alderman D. J. Nair and J. r. Maerz, and Councilman Samuel Sablotsky, comprising the committee, made an inspection of the premises and found that house which Bend ga Is said to have agreed to move is still in place and overhangs the highway. Letters from Corporation Counsel J. H. Kirkham, City Engi- neer P. A. Merriam, and Clerk A. w. Bacon of the board of compen- sation and assessment were read and Alderman Nair agreed to con tinue the investigation by inquiring into the claims of the mortgagors who are the Savings Bank of New Britain and Samuel Waskowitz.
 Bendza received $2.500 from the city and paid $500 back in taxes. The mortgagors received no payments from him, and Waskowitz claims not to have received any notice from the board of compensation and as- sessment before the hearing was held. Clerk Bacon claims, however, that Waskowitz was notified.
 Attorney S. Polk Waskowitz ot Hartford, son of Samuel Waskowitz, was in city hall last night in his fathers interests, but Alderman Nair informed him that the committee preferred to continue the investiga tion before having an open session,
