The increasing number OF motor
cars and trucks in service this year
is adding to the work of the state
highway police and is responsible to
some extent for the increasing NUM-
her of collisions and mishaps, despite
the best efforts of the police to keep
them in check.
Last month there were 67 accl-
dents in which six persons lost their
lives. What the toll in lives and pro-
ken limbs and injured will be this
month with heavier traffic, is de-
tail that the officials are not very
anxious to learn.
Fines do not seem to have any
effect, or at least but little in check
ing drunken and reckless drivers
said Superintendent of Police Z. I.
Reynolds in discussing trafhc con-
ditions in the state.
If it were possible to impose a
iail sentence for reckless driving 1t
might have more effect, as it's al
ways possible for man, no matter
how poor he may be, to get money
to pay fine.
we arrested fellow the other
dav bound from New England for
Virginia. But at the time he was tax
en- into custody he was driving
north. He had drank 4 pint OF some
kind of liquor he SAID, and there was
mint flask with him empty. He was
careening up the road driving about
fifty to fifty-five miles an hour anu
his swerving car made it Il menace
to every one. We finally stopped him
and took him before a magistrate,
but he was so badly intoxicated and
getting worse every minute, that the
MAGISTRATE refused to give him
hearing until he had sobered up.
Another instance of drunken urlY-
ing was that of man who was nm
ed $500 and given six months i'll jail.
He went to a bank and got the $500
but he had to go to Jail. Often when
lhev. have the money they take an
appeal and sometimes eyade the JalI
sentence. But if it's fine, they man
age to get the money some way"
To Continue Safety Effort
y Superintendent Reynolds said that
the effort which was begun last Sun
day to break up the passing on the
right side of a car and cutting in and
ont of traffic. which is habitual with
drivers largely from Pennsylvania
would be continued in the hopes OF
making it so costly that the news
would spread to other motorists
from Pennsylvania. The Delaware
law is plain on the subject and there
is no denying the violation. Another
violation which is also habitual with
foreign cars is driving across a
main highway without stopping. The
Milford chronicle., 1926-07-30
67 MOTOR ACCIDENTS WITH TEN
Fatalities DURING MONTH OF JUNE
State Police To Continue Campaign To Make Highways More Safe
To Drive On-Beeve Jail Sentence Rather Than Fine Would
Prove More Effective

foreign cars do it pretty generally
and it's a big menace to the Della
ware motorists.
Superintendent Reynolds said his
attention had been called to the way
in which the New Jersey highway
police handle conditions on the
White Horse pike. They allow no
cutting in and out of traffic and the
drivers know it. The police often
travel incognito in citizens clothes.
Sometimes they may be seen sitting
along the road ana apparently are
the most innocent looking 'dumbells'
but they are keen enough and go af-
ter violators with the greatest zest.
One of the advantages of these Of
ficers being in citizens clothing,
which many, who want to see the
laws upheld, think makes the end
Justify the means, is that the reck-
less driver never knows when he is
seeing an officer. In other words, If
the officers were all in uniforms, 1t
would be easy to evade the statutes
when the officer is not visible. But
in New Jersey one never knows
when a man is an Ofhcer until he
makes himself known.
Over in New Jersey on the White
Horse pike there is a limit for traV-
ell and no cutting in and out is per-
mitted. Those who attempt it find
themselves under arrest many times,
when the officer may be the man
sitting alongside the road in civics.
This uncertainty impresses the dri-
yer with certain amount of con-
Germ about taking chance on
breaking the law.
At this time it does not appear as
though there would be any change
in the situation concerning the con-
troversy about Maryland truck dri-
vers who are in the business for
profit and the State of Delaware
which is now making them pursue
their business. The State Highway
Commission has had legal advice on
the subject and has been informed
that the law is the law and the
statute calls for all trucks where the
owner or operator is using the mo-
tor in a carrying business, taking out
a Delaware license. This does not
effect the private farmer who sends
his stuff to market but only to the
man who is making a business out
of hauling something for someone
else.
During the past week efforts to,
bring about another conference on
the subject and some kind of fresh
understanding were set in motion,
but under the opinion given the
Highway Commission by their legal
advisor. it does not seem likely that
there will be any change in their
attitude.-Sunday Star.
