The two most important of the requests made by the deputation were: (1) That the Government of Ontario should bring about a re- adustment of the capital cost of the Central Ontario Power Sys- tem because of the excessive price that had been paid the original owners and, (2) That the Government should be deemed expedient to dispose of non-electrical utilities such as gas-works and timber lim- its and thus clarify the situation in regard to power costs.

Mystery Surrounds Death of Verne Mills; Foul Play Is Feared Body of Employee of W, E. Phillips Glass Company is Found Floating in Cedar Creek Near Place Where Wrecked Sedan is Located «Think Car is Property of Mills WATER IN LUNGS WAS LACKING Could Not Have Drowned is Opinion--The Body Was Floating -- Police Trying to Throw Light on Mys- tery Mystery surrounds the death of Verne Mills, an employee of the W. E. Phillips Glass Co, and former Lindsay resident, whose body was found floating in Cedar creek, near the highway bridge, on the Port Perry-Oshawa road, a short distance south of Port Perry, at an early hour this morning, Close to the scene of the supposed tragedy a Star sedan, license no. 49-334, thought to be the property of the dead man, lay on its side, in the ditch flanking the road on the east, and with its engine protruding over the north bank of the stream, The machine had apparently been little damaged, the windshield was intact and all the doors were shut. The window of the front door on the right hand side had been' pulled down however. Death is Mystery Although the provincial police and Dr. J. A. Mathers, coroner of Port Pry, refuse to express any definite opinion as to how Mills came to his death, two facts have been disclosed which might contain a suspicion of foul play. When the body had been taken out of the water Dr, Mathers examined it and found that the skull had been fractured, while the de- ceased man's lungs were not filled with water, thus indicating that Mills had not drowned. This corresponds with the story told by Jack Heard, 415 Simcoe street south, Oshawa, who was possibly one of the first to find the body in the water. Heard, in company - with his sister-in-law, Miss Corbet, of same address, and R. Barker, 67 Brock street east, was motoring south from Port Perry at 5 o'clock this morning, Standard time. His attention was drawn to the sedan in the. ditch and he stopped his car, getting out to investigate, aw Body in Water While he and Farner walked over to the overturned sedan, Miss Co- bert remained on the bridge and suddenly exclaimed that she saw something in the water which looked like a man. The other two went to this point of advantage and gazing down discovered a body floating in the creek, which is wide and slug- gish at this point, ; Speaking to The Times this morn- ing Heard stated that the head seem- ed to be practically submerged, face downwards, while the body was in such a position to suggest that it was held buoyant by the lungs. The three then hastened into Oshawa where they informed the local poMce and Provincial Constable Mitchell, Doctor is Called Dr. Mathers stated late today that he had received a phone message calling him to Cedar creek from Stan- ley Spencer, Reach township road foreman, whose farm is in the close vicinity of Cedar creek. He res- ponded quickly and arriving at the creek witnessed the came gruesome sight which had horrified the party from Oshawa. Under his direction the body was removed and he made an examination which disclosed that Mills had suffered a fractured skull and that there was no water in his lungs. He intimated that the creek be dragged although he would not give any motive for this action. _ As coroner he bas empanelled a jury which will yiew the remains and wmspect + the scene of the tragedy carly this afternoon.
