The Cassidy committee finds that replacing condemnation commissions with a permanent bureau would curb waste and delays but not automatically reduce excessive awards. Better city arbitrators and a salaried staff of neutral appraisers are urged, as current local real estate brokers often bias valuations to favor sellers.
