Accidents Reduced
Cut of so Pct. Listed
In First Five Months

A decrease of nearly 50 per cent
in traffic accidents for the first five
months of l943. as compared with
the corresponding months of 1942,
is shown in report released yes
terday by Capt. Edgar Sims. chief
of the Alexandria police depart
ment.
From January to June. 1942,
there were 83 accidents that in
jured 81 persons and caused two
deaths. There were 247 property
damage accidents; while for the
same period this year, So injury
accidents that injured "a persons
and caused no deaths. One hun
dred and thirty property damage
accidents were reported.
Capt. Sims also noted a 30 per
cent decrease in arrests for trafic
violations. He attributed the de-
creases to the fact that drivers
were being more careful in an at
tempt to take care of their auto
mobiles, as we'll as to the fact that
ratloning has reduced the number
of cars on the streets.
! In addition, Capt Sims said that
in spite of the increase in popula =
ton in the city, there has been
a marked decrease in crime. a fact
which he attributes to the great
increase in employment.

tation. Inspection of tires on
PASSENGER cars for the first Pc
riod must be completed before
Feb. /. Thereafter, holders of
basic "A" gasoline ration books
must have their tires Inspected
once every four months and in
spections must be spaced at
least two months apart.
In the case of "B" and &C.
book holders, the inspection is
required twice as often. They
must be made every two
months, instead of four, and
spaced at least one month apart.
For commercial motor We
hicles, the first period inspec-
ton deadline is Jan. Is, a half
month earlier than for passen-
ger cars, according TO OPA.
After that date commercial
motor vehicles must be pre-
sented for periodic inspection at
SO day or 5000 mile intervals,
whichever occurs first.
Mckee pointed out that, while
il is an old American custom to
wait until the last minute on
such things as inspections, mo-
florists in Michigan who post
pone this item until the end of
January will force considerable
unnecessary inconvenience on
themselves.
"OPA has authorized approx
mately 1000 tire inspectors in
the state, 1000 of them in
Wayne County" Mckee ex-
planned.
But even with this great
number, it will be impossible to
handle all the cars if they wait
until the last week. The num-
Der of daily inspections that can
be handled by any one OPA in
spector obviously is limited. 1t
takes time to 60 over five tires
on each car, in addition to
handling their normal trade"
Revocation of gasoline and all
other ration books, OPA pointed
out, is likely in cases where
motorists attempt to drive with
out having their tires inspected.
In most cases it probably also
will mean refusal by OPA for
requests for re-capped and new
tires
Official tire inspection sta
tons designated by OPA local
war price and rationing boards
have been established in ga
RACES, gasoline stations and tire
stores conveniently locat e d
throughout each county. The in
spection charge is set by OPA at
25 cents per car. An additional
so cents per tire is authorized if
a tire or tires must be removed
for internal inspection.
