At the same time, 13 people were
killed in traffic-four more than the
number struck down in November
and six more than the number killed
in December, 1899 Included among
the 13 were nine pedestrians.
A significant feature in the A per
cent increase over Novembers traf-
fic toll was the fact that seven of
the total killed in traffic in December
lost their lives during the last 10
days of the month, when traffic was
at its heaviest due to Christmas
shopping.
No Relationship Seen.
Inspector William E. Holmes, in
charge of the traffic division Of the
Police Department, maintained yes
terday, however, that the jump in
accidents fatal to pedestrians last
month bore no direct relation to the
decrease in the number of pedes-
trians arrested.
During the entire month of De-
cember and especially around Christ
mas" he declared. additional police
were placed in the downtown area
to see to it that pedestrians obeyed
the law. And our records show that
they did. This may account for the
drop in pedestrian arrests.
But because of inadequate per-
sonnel, we were unable to patrol
the outlying areas of the city as
efficiently as we did the downtown
business section"
He contended that cracking
down" on pedestrians violating police
regulations would not necessarily
bring greater safety through COM
pliance with the law.
"I still think" he added, that
a continuous program Of safety
education is the answer to our
traffic mortality problem. If we
make wholesale arrests Of pedes-
trians, we're liable to arouse too
much resentment"
Pedestrian injuries during Decem-
Der also showed an increase over
the previous month, with 205 per-
sons hurt. as compared with 167 in
November. Motorists Jared slightly
better, however. with 189 injuries
reported. 10 less than the number
hurt in November
Total Arrests Greater.
The total traffic arrests last month
increased 2 per cent over Novem-
ber's figure, with 9.415 persons ar
rested for violating traffic regula-
