Due to the completion Of several new

points has been further reduced.

bridge travellers will encounter the first

In the Motor World
BY G. ADAMS HOWARD.

(, From a study of tens of thou
sands Of industrial accidents, en-
GineerS of another insurance COM
pany have learned that in every
unit group of $50 reckless chances
taken by workmen 800 OF them Will
result in no injury at all, 20 Will
result in "cloSe ShaveS" or minor
] injuries and ! will result in a Sert-
GUS injury.
The same principle, If not the
same ratio, holds true in regard to
the operation of an automobile.
For every $50 times a driver takes
a reckless chance 800 times he will
come through clear, 20 times he
will Scrape tenders, or be forced
to slam on his brakes, narrowly
averting an accident, and l time
he will crash into some one amid
ships, or some one will crash into
him.
This ratio varies, Of course, de-
pending upon the kind of chance
the driver takes, the number Of
vehicles on the highway, the num-
ber OF pedestrians, etc. But q
definite ratio of serious accidents
exists to every classification and
degree of traffic violation. And
I every driver who continues to
take reckless chances cannot es-
cape the consequences. Sooner or
later, the serious accident, the 1
in the $50, or whatever the ratio
for that particular violation is,
will catch up to him, and he or
some one else will suffer.
For this reason manV hiphWaV u
accidents are not really accidents
at all. They are foregone con-
clusionS. They are the inevitable
sequence of a course of action
which the driver has been follow
ing. They should occasion no sur
prise when they do occur, because
if the driver continued to commit
that particular violation long
enough, it was inevitable that a
serious accident should occur.

Gently was analysed by Louis Schwitser,

affected by vehicle weight The inpor-
tant factors in high speed are frontal

If the right engineering effort were

VIRGINIA TO INCREASE
HIGHWAY EXPENDITURE
sic, 500, 900 Will Be Used for Road
Construction and $4,5OO,OOO
for Maintenance.

A slightly larger State highway pro-
gram and much paving will go forward
In Virginia this year, according to an
estimate prepared for the American
Road Builders Association by the Vir-
ginia State Highway Department, H G..
Shirley, chairman.
The work CT the 1881 program in
cludes: Improved earth roads, 80
miles: untreated and treated sand-clay,
gravel. macadsm and similar types,
335 miles; asphalt and concrete, SIS
miles; total, 4S0 miles. This Is 3 miles
more than was included in the 1880
program.
State highway expenditures in Vir-
gtnia in 1881 are estimated at $2l, ,OOO,-
900, Of which $I6,500.000 is for con-
struction and $450O,O00 for mainte-
nance. This Is 100000 more than was
expended in 1880 and $7,10O,oo0 more
than In 1929.
Virginia will buy highway equipment
for the State department amounting to
$3.50 600, the same as last year.
County highway expenditures will be
around $4,000
State highway mileage was 1858 at
the end of 1880. There were 52,76S
miles Of county highways at the end
Of 1929.

FOR MOTORING UTOPIA
Elevated Highways at Intersec'

Bridge Traffic.

The Port of New York Authority
builds a mammoth bridge across the
Hudson and the State of New Jersey,
in the pathway of the floods OF traffic to
and from New York, is given what Is
one of the worlds greatest trafnc prob
lems.
But New Jersey is meeting the diff
Guilty, and when present. plans are car
ried out in the near future motorists
travelling into New Jersey VIII md q
motoring Utopia, or, better. an Autopia,
according to Z. z. Duffy, highway edu-
cational writer.
Through engineering and hunlanita-
rian studies New Jerseys State High
way Department, under the direction OF
J. L. Bauer, state highway engineer, has
determined that the efficiency and
safety of highways can be remarkably
increased by the construction of ele-
waited highway Intersections. Conse-
quently all busy intersections in the
near and not so near vicinity Of the new
Hudson River Bridge will be elevated
motorists on each highway may con-
tinue on their way without altering
their speed. They may pass from one
road to another without making q left
hand turn or stopping.
Fifty Of these elevated highway in
tersections, which are really bridges
over highways, are planned. The king
pin of them all is the broad trafic dis
tributing plaza on the Jersey side Of
the new bridge. Here three major and
q number of minor elevated irtersec-
tions will sort trafic out for the various
routes.
Most of the elevated intersections ate
along the east and west routes, and b.
These routes are to be equipped also
with five trafic circles, which also will
permit trafic to flow without stops and
left-hand turns.
New Jersey, however, is not confining
her efforts TO this one area. TrAfhc
circles and elevated Intersections are
being built all over the state at busy
spots. All this Is costing New Jersey
money, bit the State calculates that
jamnaed trAfde and accidents also cost
money, and therefore It is preferable To
