New Death Record Feared
With traffic fatalities during
the first IS days of January up
1875 per cent over last year, Wash
lngton is face to face with the
menace of a record-breaking loss
of life this year. the American
Automobile Association warned
today.
More than double the death toll
of any previous year will be
chalked up for 1896 if this per
centage gain continues, the asso-
citation announced. The organi-
cations statement said:
"The nine deaths so far this
year are definitely in the Op-
poSite direction from last year
improved record. Such gains
as have been made already
have been wiped out by the first
dark days of January. Only
the most intensive efforts can
bring the 1886 safety record to
a point as good as or better
than last year."

COUNTY COSTS
COMPARED IN
VIRGINIA

This Is the third of a series
of articles dealing NTH county
government in Virginia.
RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 16.-The
second example for the study by
a Virginia commission Of county
government compares Amelia,
Nottoway and Prince Edward
counties with Halifax county.
The three counties have a com
bined area of 1887 square miles,
a total population Of 1886 and
taxable wealth valued at $40,655,'
TIA.
Halifax has an area of 8l4
square miles, population OF
4l,283 and taxable wealth valued
at $23,854,934.
The total operating costs In
1881 for the three counties was
$464,561 and in Halifax the bill
was $348,209, a difference OF
$11S,352.
Costs in 1892 tell a similar
story. The three counties cost
$444, 066 and Halifax spent 1927.
006, a difference of $117,060.
For specific functions it was
found that the assessment of
taxable property in the three
counties in 1881 cost more than
twice as much as in Halifax, and
in 1882 a little less than twice
as much. The cost per capita
was nearly % cents for the
group in 1882 and slightly more
than six cents per capita in
Halifax.
The Commission reported:
"The comparisons have not
taken into consideration the ade-
quacy or efficiency Of the ad.
miniStratiOn Of these functions.
in any of the counties. There
may be reasonably satisfactory
explanations or ratiOnalizatiOnS,
but the Commission believes
that consolidation is an ines
capable conclusion when the
figures alone are considered,
and that q more exhaustive
study of conditions, relative ef-
ficiency in administration, ade-
quacy Of service and admins
trative costs in relation to ser.
vice costs would tend to support
the case"
