Trucks Point
To Safe Miles
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, May '9.-Their rights on
the highway and their safety record
called into prominence and question
by last weeks horrible tragedy at
Fayetteville, trucks of all sorts, and
especially petroleum trucks hauling
gasoline and oil, were today given a
clean bill of health by Ronald Ho-
cult, director of the highway safety
division of the Department of Rev
enue; insofar as their general record
for safety and their operators COOP
Grafton in safety education are con-
cerned.
NATURALLY, l do not want to get
into any controversy over whether
or not trucks, gasoline or otherwise,
should be entitled to use the high
ways. That's not within the scope Of
my duties, said Mr.. Hocutt "But l
will say that as director of the high
way safety division / have received
wholehearted cooperation from all
companies operating trucks in. the
State. The truck owners have ap-
parently been glad to cooperate and
have done. SO at all times"
AS for the safety record of trucks
and other commercial vehicles, Mr.
Hocutt said that figures of the di-
vision speak for themselves.
These figures show that in 1898,
commercial cars (including trucks of
all sorts) had the best record of any
class vehicle in North Carolina, ex-
elusive of school buses, when COM
pared on a basis Of accidents per We
hicle.
In the state last year there were
registered 118,461 Commercial cars"
which according to the divisions rec
ords were in volved in a total of L.
404 accidents, 143 of them fatal,
which figures out one accident for
each "a vehicles, one fatal accident
for each $685.
Figures for passenger cars were
$3.50 accidents 81 of them fatal, for
a registration of 45O,O64 cars, or one
accident for each As 1-2 cars and one
fatal accident for each 555 passenger
vehicles.
