tin Baushman takes exception to pub

from Secretary of Commerce Herbert
Hoover that Maryland was fifth in
the matter of automobile fatalities.
Il cannot see how Mr. Hoover ar
rived at the figures from the manner
in which the statistics We're gath
cred" said Commissioner Baughman.
1T is my understanding that Mr.
Hoover compiled his total of fatali-
ties from the number of automobile
lists as compared with the population.
lie evidently did not take into con-
Sderation that 60 per cent of auto
mobiles travelling the Washington and
Belair roads come from the District
and Pennsylvania.
Il suppose that if an out-of-toWn
machine figures in an accident in
Maryland it is charged against this
State. This, in my opinion, is not
fair to Marylanders. and certainly
causes a discrepancy in the compila
ton of the figures"
