ed! TO do this it is necessary to
prevent jay walking and to educate
the public to proper driving. Pedes-
trians should be subject to much
the same control as vehicles. The
intermingling in the roadway of
pedestrians and automobiles re-
tards traffic and is one of the major
causes of accidents.
Sixty-fve to eighty-five per cent
of all persons injured or killed in
automobile accidents are pedes-
trians. There should be, however,
no general conflict between pedes-
trians and motorists because all of
us are pedestrians at times and
most of us are motorists at times.
We, therefore, should understand
each others viewpoints. Pedestrians
have equal rights on the streets and
highways with automobiles and
other vehicles. Just because some
pedestrians use the highways incau-
tiously is no excuse for the drivers
of motor vehicles not taking every
precaution to avoid injuring pedes-
trians.
Moreover, no matter who was to
blame and in spite of large sums OF
money paid for damages the dead

portant piece of legislation passed at
the last session of the General AS
sembly, which when more widely
complied with by those walking on
the highways after night will great
ly reduce road accidents. This leg
islation requires the pedestrian
walking on the highway at night to

pedestrian, particularly if he hap
pens to be wearing dark clothing, is
practically invisible to the operator
of a motor vehicle even if the oper-

THESE 1877 new Ford cars represent one
Of the largest deliveries ever made to a
municipality at one time.
2I radio.equipped Ford scout cars were
traded in on this purchase. They had been
operated day and night for two years in
heavy traffic and all kinds of weather.
Their individual records ranged from
78,434 miles TO 143, ,723 miles with grand
total Of 2,283, ,O97 miles. The operating
cost of the 2I cars was 1924 cents mile
- less than 2 1/3 cents. This cost included
all fuel, oil, tires, repairs and every. other
item except depreciation and insurance.
OF SIT Ford cars in Detroit City service,
the 800 in the Police Department travelled
a total Of 6,59I, ,937 miles during the past
fiscal year, at an average cost of 2.9, cents
a mile. -s,f I'd ''s' d. r't
Many claims have been made on Operat'
ing costs, but here in the carefully kept
motor car records of the City of Detroit is
positive proof of Ford economy.

Day and night, twenty-fOur hours day,
these Ford cars are in operation. Few
branches of transportation demand such

low fuel and oil consumption is but one Of
the FOrd's many economies. Ford ma
