Rodd, of Brooklin, and a large sedan, owned by W. W. Free of Lindsay, was claimed by death in the person of Mrs, Jane Read, aged 87, of Highland Creek, who died in the Oshawa General Hospital last night shortly before 6 o'clock. Mrs. Read was the mother of Mrs. G. Rod@, of Brooklin, also an ac- cupant of the Rodd car, who died from serious injuries at Whitby on Sunday while being rushed from the scene of the accident to the hospital here, and grandmother of George Rodd, driver of the car, who succumbed to his injuries at the Oshawa Hospital early last Thursday morning. Avm Was Amputated Mrs. Read had suffered an in- jured arm and was removed to the hospital here. Several days ago it was found necessary to amputate the limb and as she rallied after the operation it was though pos- sible that she might recover, Due to advanced age however and shock the aged lady's condition gradually became more serious and death death came early last evening. Inquest. Already on Way Crown Attorney McGibbon stat- ed today that it was not probable that a jury would be impanelled to investigate the death of Mrs. Read as inquests are being held into the deaths of Mrs. Rodd and George C. Rodd at Whitby and Oshawa re- spectively. As all three were oc- cupants of the Rodd car the eli- dence will likely be the same in all cases. Sunday's accident is regarded as the worst motor tragedy to have occurred in this district in many years as it has cost three lives in- cluding a grandmother, daughter and grandson. The heavy mist which prevailed Sunday afternoon is - considered partly to blame for the disastrous collision, Mr. Rodd's Funeral The funeral of George C.

Estimates Show Huge Increase 240 Million Increase in Bri- tish Civil Service and Revenue Departments London, Mar. 1.--A startling in- crease in the estimates for the Ci- vil Service and revenue departments for the coming yaer is shown in the figures issued today. The total i approximately $1,825000,000 an in- crease of $240,000,000. Of the increase $150,000000 is ac- counted for by the permanent trea- sury grants to local revenues 'which appear for the first time in accord- ance with the provisions of the Par- liamentary acts adopted last year. This, partly a book-keeping transac- tion, also deals with the Conserva- tive government's scheme for cutting local taxes off agricultural and indus- trial property. The balance of the increase is prin cipally due to the extension of pen- sions for widows, orphans and old age beneficiaries, amounting to $25, 00,000; unemployment grants, $32, 500000; labor, health services, and colonial development estimates under recent parliamentary acts, and anoth- er $10,000,000 for agricultural servi- ces.
