TREND OF TRAFFIC
DEATHS IS UPWARD
Washington's Rate Is Below
the Average for the
Nation.

The traffic death rate here is below
the average for the Nation as a whole,
but the trend Is up instead of down,
and some cities are much safer than
the Nations Capital, according to fig-
ures collected over the past year and
made public by the Department of Com
merce today.
The trend of traffic deaths for the
Nation Is sharply rising, according to
statistics for 10 selected cities from
which the Department of Commerce
gathers data.
For instance, during the four weeks
ended July 10, 1929, these cities re-
ported 635 deaths from automobile acci-
dents. as compared with 523 during the
four weeks ended July IA. 1923. Most
of the deaths were the result of acct
dents which occurred within the cor
porate limits of the cities.
Washington showed an increase for
these comparable periods, having five
deaths in the 1928 periods and eight
deaths for the four-week period this
year
For the 52-week period ended July
10. 1929. the rs cities showed total
deaths of 7.911. as compared to 7,177
for the comparable So weeks Of the
previous year, an increase of the fatal
ity rate per 100000 persons from 21.9
TO 24.1
This city is shown to have a death
rate considerably lower than the aver
age for the 10 cities, Washington's total
rate rising, however. from 21.3 to 222
per 100000 population. The death rate
from accidents occurring inside the city
limits rose from 149 for the So. weeks
ended July IA, 1928, to 1871 for the So
weeks ended July 13. 1929.
How does Washington compare with
other cities near It's own size in the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-07-29

death ratep This question IN answered
with figures by the Department of Com
merce.
Taking the death rate per 100000
population for the year ended this july,
this city's figure stands at ISL. Buff
fa1o. which is the city nearest the size
of Washington, according TO latest esti-
mates, Is given higher death rate of
1915, while Newark is given 1871 and
Milwaukee 1875. But Boston, with
100000 more population than Wash
ington, at 14.4, while several smaller
cities are safer than Washington, &C
cording to their death rate figures.
Among the rates of the largest cities
are New York, 1873 per 100, 900 popula-
ton: Chicago, PAT; Philadelphia, 1873;
Cleveland. 24.6, and Detroit, 22.5.
The number of deaths in WASHINGTON
rose from 80 for the 52-week period
last year to SO for this year, repre-
senting fatalities from accidents inside
the corporate limits. The total deaths
those outside the city. were listed as
growing from lit to 1872.
The figures for Buffalo and Wash
ington are interesting, as the cities are
listed at near the same population. ac-
cording to latest estimates. Buffalo
deaths inside the city limits for the So
weeks ended July, 1928, were 1903, as
compared to Washington's 80, and for
the year ended this July Buffalo showed
131 deaths as compared to Washing
tons 80.
Cleveland, which shares with WASH
ington the rotary left turn, now the
subject of much agitation. showed a
death rate Of 24.6, as compared to
Washington'S ISL.
