A GREAT ROAD YEAR

Programs of Federal, State and
local governments for 1881 road con-
struction called for total expenditure
of 81, GIG, 900, 900, an increase of $15,-
100000, over 1880. The Federal
governments constitution of $249,-
$4,000 is $3.50, 900, 600 over 1880.
1t might be said that the money we
spend for roads gives us better re
turn than almost any other form
of government tax expenditures.
Quick and economical transport, OF
goods and persons, is vital to social
and economic progress. Particu-
larly is this true of those rural areas
where roads have been in essentially
the same state of unimprovement
since the horse-and-wagon days.
Only by building inexpensive, but
good roads, can farming sections be
given place in the march forward

ACHIEVEMENTS In SAFETY

In spite of the terrible rise in auto
mobile injuries and fatalities, there is
a bright side to the accident problem.
The organized safety movement,
which was 20 years old recently,
points with pride" to such achieve
ments as these:
A steady decrease in accidental
deaths to children since 1922, when
school safety work was inaugurated
on national scale. During this
time accidental adult deaths have
increased SO per cent.
A decrease of at least 80 per cent
in fatal industrial accidents in the
past 20yers.
A decrease of % per cent in the
accident rates of 1900 industrial
establishments reporting to the
National Safety Council.
A decrease of 10 per cent in acct
dents involving drivers of trucks,
buses and taxicabs in four years.
During this time private passenger
cars involved in accidents have in
creased 81 per cent.
This is fine fruit and the safety
workers are to be congratulated.
Their main problem now is to find
some means of checking accidents
on the highways and in homes, in
the latter, 10000 death occur each
year. They are working in the face
of great difficulties in this, difficult
ties that can only be removed by
individul realization of the funda-
mentals of accident prevention.
