NORTGAGED STREET
 DISPUTE IN COURT WaskoWitz Sues BendZa and City in Double-Barra Action DEMANDS S1O,W0 DAMAGE
Plaintiff Claims Property Was Taken Without Compensation Be-
 ing Given Owners of Encumbrancc When Willow Street was Extended

The city of New Britain was named defendant in two lawsuits for s5.O00 each, brought by Samuel Waskowitz, local realtor, today as result of the taking of land of Fred Bendza to extend Willow street from West to Lasalle streets.
 Bendza, Moses Stein and the city are sued in one of the actions, the allegations being that Bendza failed to pay the principal and interest due on a mortgage note on June 24, l93O, thereby making himself liable for payment of the entire balance of S2,925 due on the mortgage for S6,000 which he gave Waskowitz on Dec. A, 1924, and that the city has an interest in the mortgaged prem ises because of having condemned the land, while Stein is interested on account of holding a mortgage on the property in the amount of $2.75O, dated June 2l, 1928.
 In this action, the plaintiff seeks Q foreclosure Of the mortgage, pos SeSSlOll Ol LiS pltiiilSco oilu eh NV ficiency judgment. Taxes due the city of New Britain on July l., 1880, amounting to $524.29, have not been paid, according to the plaintiff.
 Got Nothing From City
 In the other action, in which the city alone is named defendant, the plaintiff alleges that no award of damages was made to him, nor was he at any time notified by the city that condemnation proceedings were plaintiffs interest in the property was taken without compensation and the security for his mortgage was materially affected, impaired, and decreased. he alleges.
 Bendza was awarded damages of $2,S00 and assessed benefits of $500 when the street was extended through his property, and 8 commit tee of common council members in an investigation into the entire transaction. The city paid Bendza $2,500, it is said, without ob- taining proper releases of the mort gages on the premises, bringing about a situation in which the mortgage holders actually have part of their security in the street extension.
 Attorney s. Polk Waskovitz, father of the plaintiff, represents him and the papers were served last night by Deputy Sheriff Martin H. Horwitz. The action against Stein. Bendza and the city is returnable in the city court the second Monday in while the action in which the city alone is sued is re- turnable in superior court the first Tuesday in November.
