time to unravel the mystery. ‘
Payment of the estate hinges on
just one thing. finding of the burial
place of one John Mills. ancestor of
all the present Mills. whose time
and place of death must be firmly
established to the satisfaction of of-
ficials in. the Chancery' Court of
England. before any of the $3,000..
000 can leave the bank of England.
Missing 'l‘ombstono
But John's body cannot be found
High and low. far and wide. the
search has been carried without
uucceu. Cemeteries fail to reveal
the mssing tombstone.
Romance. adventure and mystery
surround the strange tale.
One hundred and fifty years ago.
there lived in England. three broth-
ers, William. George and John Mills.
all of whom were engaged in the
shipbuilding business.»
They lived and worked together
in a small part not far from London.
John married. It. is bolisved now
that the other two did not. The
three continued to work together
and' because of their great skill
made a good deal of money. Be-
fore long they discovered that they
were a great deal richer than the
majoflty of‘ their. fellow men.
When John was well along in
years .ho suddenly decided to see
America.
He crossed the ocean. bringing his
wife and children with him. m-
exact whereabouts from ‘ then on
are a. mystery.
Some say that he died and was
buried on Long Island. others.‘ that
he passed the few ram'ilning years
of his life lna Florida seaport.
Cost of Arms.
That he was in Connecticut some
time during the latter part of his
life is proved by the presence of c
powder-born. on which is curved.
“John Mills. 1330." and also I. coat
of arm». This is now in the per-
session of Mrs. Mary Mills Bond of
Stratford, a direct descendant of the
said John.
Since it has been definitely proved
where and when'lbs two brothers.
George and William. died and the
fact that they left no descendants.
there remains but John'- heirs to
whom the estate belongs.
As fares to known the following

that John may be buried in this
vicinity.
The heirs are:
Charles F. Mills. President of the

Mills. knowing of the existence of
this great wealth in the bank of
England tried to untangle the red
tape surrounding it. He was un-
successful. ~
Why? Because he failed to find
the burial place of John Mills.
Smitb'Mllls did succeed. however.
in getting a letter from the Bank of
England setting forth that the for-
tune was in its vault awaiting only a
rightful claimant.
Several years after that a Boston
lawyer arr'lvcd at the home of Smith
will and announced that it be were
given possession oflthaf. letter; he
would prove in no time. with the as-
aistacos of a small sum of money.
to be sure. that John Mills was quite
dead and would locate his grave.
He was given the letter and the
money. and that was the last. the
Mills family ever heard of either.
For more than forty years no one
bothered to try to acquire the es-
tate. Four years ago one of the Nor-
wclk Mills read an advertisement in
a New York paper. the notice com-
ing from London. England. advertis-
ing for the long lost heirs, of this
very same estate. .
Immediately. the interest: of the
heirs awakened again and they dso
clded to have another fr yet locating

not looking for charity. because the
city maintains a Charity Depart-
ment, and they being intelllgt-ntpeo-
pie. would have applied to that de-
partment. without asking the Com-
mittee on Strectb for any charitable
act. I. still believe that if the mat—
for were explained to the residents
who live in the Fifth district. plac-
ing the matter before them as it
really ls—namely. that the sewer
system was built at a great expense
and is being paid for by others titan
themselves. they would be only too
glad to pay a small rental for the
privilege of contracting with it. Now
I would like to ask the members of
the Council who are in favor of giv-
ing away. the use of the sewers. and
I might add also the use of the Fire
Department and possibly the Police
Department (and I would like to
state. after talking to some of the
Councilmen. that i find that all do
not think alike on this matter of ac.
commodctlng some. at the expense
of others). where are we going to
draw the line and who will say that
the people further on are not enti-
tled to the same com-testes? As a
matter of fact a great many of our
sewers are too small now. and who
must pay for the building of larger
ones? Perhaps they become clog-
ged. who has the expense of clean-
ing. etc.1 No one but the Fourth
Taxing district residents.
Sometime ago there was a cam-
mitteo appointed to revise the char-
ter and one of the things suggested
was to have all the city join into
one benefits of the sewer. Fire De-
partment. Police Department, lights
and etc. But what. was the result?
A few agitators from the Fifth Dis-
trict appeared at the hearings of the
. committee and would not. consider
any such proposition. The outcome
was that the committee got dis-
couraged and disbanded without ac-
complishing any results and possibly
some of the people who objected
the hardest are the very ones who

and the police when they get in
trouble.
On the other hand you cannot
blame them for not wanting to come
in to'tho Fourth District when some
of your councilman vote to give
them the Fourth District Utilities
free of charge.
Sometime ago "This Man." as he
sees fit to call me and 1 think it no
more than fair I now apply the same
terms to him. come before the Board
of Estimate asking for more money
for the Street Department when he
had something more than 860.000 of
unsxponded money and he was re.‘
fused more money by the Board be-
cause there wsa something like
815,000 more allowed in the Street
Department this year than was ever
allowed before. The gentleman got
a little sore because he was refused
and be blamed me. How absurd to
blame me for s. little thing like that.
He stated that there was plenty of
money but the Board of Estimate
put strings on it. But I understand
that the money in bowel! zone so
he must have untied the strings: and
the streets, well I won't say anything
about them. You can judge them for
yourselves. Now I sometimes think
that instead of putting strings on
some of the appropriations they
should be tied up with'ropes and if
I had any say about the utilities be.
longing to the Fourth District I
would chain them up so as to pre-
vent some of our Councilmen from
giving them away.
Yours truly.
