In conferring this noon with Angus P. Thorne. F. w. Behrens, Dr. J. Henry Callahan and William E.. See1ey, Mayor Fred Atwatter officially reconized the existence of the Mmici- pal Garage commission, as a tempor- ary organization. Previous reports and conjectures had automatically abolished the commission with the completion of its duties of supervis- ing the construction of the garage.

He admitted the existence of the commission, primarily because of pending changes at the garage, but gave no intimation that the conmiS- sion was to be permanently maintain ed.

Death of Woman Still. Clouded
 Mysterious sly
Until Identity of Friday Nights Automobile Party Is Established, Cause of Young Doctors Death Will Remain Unknown Police Believe

Until the identity of two men and woman with whom Dr. Elizabeth Radon, of 645 Bostw.ck avenue, went on motoring party Friday night, is established, mystery will surround the death of the young woman. From the time Dr. Radom'S body was found lying on the sidewalk near the Fair field Town hall Saturday morning. Fairfield and Bridgeport authorities as well as the State police have been endeayor1ng to solve this angle of the success Taking for granted that the case was one of suicide, Medical EX- aminer Dr. w IT. Donaldson, of Fair field, acting on the advice of Coroner John J. Phelan, performed no autopsy. and the remains have been shipped to the home of Dr. Radom'S mother in Hartford
 Sheriff H. R. Elwood of Fairfield, stated this morning that he did not believe Dr. Radon took her own fife. The position of the body when discov- cred by Michael Grace, the neatly ar. ranged clothes and lastly the nySteri- ous autom obile party are some of the facts which cause the sheriff to doubt the suicide theory at the present time. Until the identity of Dr. Radonl'S companions is revealed however, there is little the police can do to prove that the woman met with foul play.
 Murder must always have a motive, but in the case of Dr. Radon, not the slightest evid ence of a motive of any
 
 to the police. On the other hand, a motive for suicide seems to be clearly apparent.
 During the police investigation, it was brought out that Dr. Radon was greatly depressed over financial mat ters. She is said to have told friends that she made only $50 a month, and had to spend $50 of this for rent The doctor intended to give up her apartment in Bostwicll avenue, and informed Mrs. Clara Briggs, her housekeeper, that she, Mrs. Briggs, would have to look for another place to live. The dead woman visited her home in Hartford about a month ago and informed her mother at that time, that she wished to return to Hartford. The mother, according to the police, told her daughter to stay in Bridgeport.
 Friends Of Dr. Radon had in- tended to help her through her finan- cia1 difficulties, by reducing her rent and supplying her with coal and other necessities.
