FAIRGROUNDS CUT
CHILD FATALITIES
Statistics Show That Cities With
Most Lots Have Low

By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 30.-Fatal street
accidents to children are much fewer
In cities amply supplied with Wen dis
tributed Fairgrounds than in cities not
so we'll supplied with these safety
zones. This conclusion of the Ma
,tional Safety Council engineers was
made public recently by the Play
ground and Recrea ton Association OF
America, with which the council is
co-operati ting in its safety campaign.
The investigations of the safety eX-
,perts in most of the cities cover the
three-year period 1922-1924 and
show that cities with the most play
grounds had only one-third to one
fourth as many. child pedestrian fatal
titles as adult fatalities.
In Cleveland. with high pedestrian
fatality rate less than 80 per cent of
the victims were children, according to
the study The city has 72 supervised
Fairgrounds. Its low percentage of
child fatalities is in marked contrast
to the high percentage in an eastern
county, where Fairgrounds are few
and poorly distributed.
In Toledo very few child fatalities
were found within normal drawing
distance of playground locations. To-
