CAR FATALITIES
!: !: !: DROP 1900

Motor vehicle fatalities in the
United States dropped more than
1000 in 1882 compared with 1881,
according to preliminary estimates
announced by the National Safety
Council. Total traffic deaths
were placed at $4,000, a decline
Of 13 per cent from the previous
year and the lowest annual total
since 1923.
The National Traffic Safety
Contest, held for the first time
last year, was partly responsible
for increased accident prevention
activities on the part of mum
cipal officials. OF the 442 cities
entered, scores had done little
or nothing previously to increase
safety on their streets. Many OF
the mailer cities last year were
able to effect decreases of so per
cent and more in their traffic
fatality records. A second con
test is now under way for the
