RURAL TRAFFIC SAFETY LA6S, SURVEYSNOWS Auto Fatality Reduction in Cities Is Offset by Country Accidents. Indiana's war on its unsavory record for auto fatalities apparently ‘a bearing some fruit in the cities and towns of the state, but not in the rural areas. A three-months survey, completed by the State Department of Safety revealed today that the auto fatality total for December, 1935, and January and February of this year decreased as much as 21.9 per cent in some cities, but the rural area decrease was less than 1 per cent. The auto death total for the state during the three-month period was 269 and was only one more than during the like three-month period of a year ago. City, Town Tolls Cut However, cities and towns reduced their total fatalities from 120 to 98. Accident prevention campaigns, conducted in co-operation with the state police, are believed to be responsible for the improved record. The rural area total for the threemonth period in 1935-36 was 175. Figures for the five largest cities of the state—lndianapolis, Fort Wayne, South Bend, Evansville and Gary—showed that 48 persons were killed by automobiles during the 1935-36 period as against 59 the preceding year. Fort Wayne’s low death rate of only one fatality for the period gave it the lead in the State Safety Department’s acc.dent-prevention contest which is to end Nov. 30. Indianapolis List Drops Indianapolis cut its toll from 38 to 28 during the three-month period. Fatalities by counties, which also included those occurring in cities and towns, showed more than 73 per cent, of the total number of deaths in the state were in rural areas. \ total of 196 lives were last in rural areas, on this classification, during the 1935-1936 period as against 197 a year before. The safety contest is directed by Donald F. Stiver, state safety director, in an effort to decrease Indiai.a’s high auto fatality rating among the states and to determine the state’s safest city and county. Five awards are to be made to cities and counties on a population basis after the contest closes Nov. 30 Auto Toll Decreases By United Prott WASHINGTON, April 10.—Automobile deaths in 86 principal cities during the first 14 weeks of the year totaled 1881, reduction of 432 below the comparable period of 1935, the Bureau of the Census reported today. Last week fatalities totaled 127, compared with 143 the previous week and 169 during the same week last year.
