TRAFFIC DEATH.
INCREASE CITED IN
VAN DUzER REPORT.
Some Improvement Noted
in Pedestrian Accidents,
Director Declares.
MANY UNSAFE CARS ON
STREETS, HE ASSERTS
Says 1885, or 81 Per Cent of
Those Inspected, Found to Need
Mechanical Repairs.

An increase in injuries and death
from traffic accidents during the last
fiscal year was called to the attention
of the Commissioners today in the an
nual report Of Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer for the year ended June
80 last.
Although pedestrian accidents show
ed some improvement" Van Duzer's
report said. "the pedestrian situation
Is still most acute safety problem
and some means must be devised to
keep the pedestrian out of the roadway
between intersections"
1885 Need Repairs.
Van Duzer also reported that "a
large percentage of the cars using the
streets are in an unsafe mechanical
condition" He pointed out that IL 1876
automobiles. or 81 per cent of the
number inspected, were found to be
in need Of mechanical repairs. Unless
an automobile changes ownership, how
ever. no inspection is required, the
director said in calling attention to
the bill passed by the House at the
last session, and still pending in the
Senate District Committee, to require
semi-annual inspection of motor
vehicles.
For the fiscal year running from
July l. 1884 to June 80, 1895, the total
accident figures were: Accidents, g.
523; personal injuries, 4,24l; deaths,
l25, and estimated property loss, more
than s315,0O0.
For the preceding year the figures
were: 1892 accidents, $500 personal
injuries and 113 deaths.
More Motorists Killed.
The report shows that of the number
killed in accidents last year, CTS per
cent were pedestrians, as compared
with the pedestrian death toll of rs
per cent the previous year. Deaths to
occupants OF motor vehicles, on the
other hand, showed a sharp increase.
the figures being Al last year, as COM
pared with 27 the preceding year.
The majority Of traffic accidents
occurred at intersections" Van Duzer
said, yet the majority Of accidents
resulting In deaths occurred between
intersections. This is due to the pre-
ponderance of deaths to pedestrians
while in the roadway between inter-
sections"
The director then called attention
to table showing 4,5s4 non-fatal ac.
cidents and So fatalities at intersec-
t1ons having straight, level road. and
3,o9l non-fatal accidents and So
fatalities on straight roads between in
tersections. OF these 50 deaths be-
tween intersections, 40 were pedes-
trians. The report contains various
other tables analyzing the time of
day, weather conditions and other
factors entering into traffic accidents.
The report shows a total of 1913
revocations and suspensions of opera
tors permits last year, an increase of
130 over the preceding year. The re-
port states increases occurred mainly
under the headings of accumulated
records for speeding" and driving
under the influence of liquor"
The report showed a net total of
1881 license plates issued during
the year after allowing for transfers.

done suddenly" So the man who
had charge of the Jail at Philippi
came suddenly to see his sin, and
to believe on Christ as his personal
Savious. No matter how long the
causes may have been working to-
gether to bring a man or woman
to the point, every conversion, or
turning is at the last sudden. 1t
comes when we choose Christ as
our Saviour, and the decision is al
ways but the work of a moment.
In childhood one may grow into
the Christian life, and not be con-
scious of the point of decision; but
a man who has lived without God,
as did the Philippian jailer, and
comes out of the darkness into the
light, will forever after marvel
that "the thing was done sudden
ly." Let us not be surprised at
the sudden speaking of the Spirit
of God, but rather, let us answer
when He calls.-On Thursday (this
