TRAFFIC DEATHS
IN STATE SHOW
SHARP INCREASE
TWENTY MORE PEOPLE ARE
KILLED IN STATE THIS
YEAR THAN LAST TO DATE

Minnesota enters the second
half of 1910 faced with the prob
lem of bettering last years excel
lent, prize-winning traffic safe
ty record if the state is to keep
her place in the safety sun. Twen-
ty more traffic fatalities have
been recorded in the first half of
the year than in the same period
of 1899.
In explaining this condition,
state highway department
safety engineers produced
osme significant figures. "A
total of ZIG Minnesota men,
women and children were
killed in the first six months
of this year. During the same
period of 1899 there were 1876
fatalities-20 under this years
death toll.
Analysis of these figures shows
that "the man of the street"
pedestrian is responsible for
much of the unwarranted increase
in deaths, as 25 more pedestrians
have been killed up to July 1 this
year than yere killed in the first
six months of 1899. A total of 85
fatalities in the pedestrian class
80 per cent of the total deaths
have been charged against the
states safety record so far. COM
pared with only 90 during the cor
responding period Of last year.
The number of fatal non
pedestrian motor vehicle acci-
dents has actually decreased
this year, and IL of the 131
deaths IN this group were
caused In one accident-a
catastrophe such as is unlikely
to happen again for many
years to come.
''It is often possible" w. F. Ro-
senwald, department traffic and
safety engineer, concludes, ''to
charge certain types of accidents
to seasonal causes, such as icy
surfaces, weather or other unus-
ual driving conditions. Pedestrian
deaths, however, do not fall into
any such definite category, for fa-
talities of this type doubled in
January and April of this year
over the same months of last
year, while they were practically
identical in number in the other
four months of the year.

Grave Digger Missing,
So Vicar Takes SPADE

CHELMARSH, ENGLAND-There
is at least one vicar in the country
who appreciates that the grave dig
ger has a tough job.
He is the Rev. J Basil Cover
Jones who, with a funeral service
to conduct in three hours and no
grave or grave digger, took off his
coat and did the job himself. He
then went home, changed and re-
turned to conduct the ceremony.
ST never worked so hard in my
life," said the vicar. 'The last foot
was bed of clay as hard as rock
and I had to use my pick and then
shovel it out. 1t was back-breaking
work"

METROPOLITAN REPORT

Comparative figures for the Twin Cities metropolitan
which includes the territory in 1880,
Twin-City herald., 1940-07-20
Population Of Metropolitan District
For 1910 Is COS, 5,649, Nogara Reports
FIGURES REPRESENT GROWTH
OF 8.8 PER CENT DURING
LAST TEN YEAR PERIOD

The population of the Twin
City metropolitan area for 1910
fell just 94,351 short of one mill
lion, it was announced this week
by A. ]. Nogara. area census man
ager as he released the unofficial
figures from the Minneapolis of
flee.
The area population was
tentatively set at 9O5, 5,640, an
increase of 1891 over figures
for similar territory in 1880. !;
This was an 8.8 per cent in
crease over the 1880 figure Of
832,258. The figures released
by Nogara are only prelim-
mary, however, and are sub
ject to minor changes in
Washington.
Included in the area are the
cities of Minneapolis and st. Paul,
all of Ramsey county, and parts
of rural Hennepin, Anoka, WASH
ington and Dakota counties.
The average population per
square mile was set at 1,724
persons in the area tOtaling
525.27 square miles.
Density of population in the
two large cities, st. Paul and Min
neapolis was 1924 per square mile
of a land area of 1O7.55 square
miles. In the rural sections of the
area. a population density of 305
in an area of 417.82 square miles
was disclosed.
Nogara explained that the met
ropolitan district includes only
areas in which population main
tains continuous density of not
less than $50 and which are con-
tiguous to the central cities in that
residents frequently visit the cities
for employment, shopping, or en-
tertainment.
Minneapolis population Of
4S9,951 and st. Pauls Of 288,
O23 gives the Twin Cities .
combined population figure Of
1894.
Outside the cities, the total pop
ulation of the district was 127, ,655
compared with 96,296 in 1880, or a
gain of 32.5 per cent. This is a
phenomenal rise in population for
one area in ten years.
Nogara pointed out that the
Minneapolis-St. Paul increase
over 1880 figures of 464,356 for
Minneapolis and 271 ,6O6 for st.
Paul, or a total of 735, 1852 in 1880,
was 81 per cent.
No distinct figure was given for
the Minneapolis metropolitan area,
but by taking the totals from
areas known to be in the Mime
apois district, a figure of 56O,S32
is reached. This would leave 344,-
SIT people for the st. Paul met
ropolitan area. Of course, a few
communities should be considered
in both areas to arrive at separate
metropolitan area totals.
Minneapolis will show up
well in census figures with the
rest of the country" NOgara
said. 'Tt's gain stands up with
the percentage of gain in
other cities"
The figures were released by
Nogara on his own initiative with
out instructions from Washington
in view of the many requests for
such information.
