FIVE DIE HERE IN
 MOTOR ACCIDENTS
Fatalities in Connecticut in Past
 Year TOtalled 255

Hartford, Jan. 7.---Motor vehicles figured in approximately 255 fatalities in Connecticut during the calendar year 1923. accohiing to prelimi- nary complication of accident statis- ties completed at the state motor vehicle department. That total rep resents an increase of 26 fatal acci- dents over the number reported to the department for 1922, but the 1923 figure will be increased if injuries due to 1923 accidents should be later re- ported to have resulted fatally subse- quent to the close Of the old year.
 While the 1923 total of fatalities is the highest of any year since motor vehicles began to be operated in Con- necticut, the ratio of increase over 1922 is per cent less than the in- crease in the number of motor Nehi- cles operated on the public highways. The preliminary compilation shows that approximately 19l ,647 motor ve- hicles were registered in Connecticut in 1923 as against 16S,S57 registered in 1922, representing la per cent increase. Deaths due to motor ye- hicle operation increased about 10 per cent in Connecticut during 1923. Automobile fatalities throughout the country increased about 42 per cent during 1922 and while these figures for the country at large are not yet available, it is certain from such figures as it has been possible to pre- pare that the percentage for the country will be several times larger than that for Connecticut
 Hartford, with 3l, had largest number of motor Nehicl. aiities, New Haven came second Witt 2S. fol- lowed by Bridgeport with IS, Water bury with r.. and New Britain with five. Thirty-one Of 9f fatalities in these large cities occurred to children under l6 years old.
