16 LARGE CITIES GUT AUTO TOLLS

Officials Credit “Three E’ Program; Estimate 8000 Lives Saved.

(Copyright, 1939, by United Press) CHICAGO, Jan. 4—Traffic officials’ vigorous and far-flung campaign to halt slaughter on the nation's roadways paid big dividends during 1938, a survey of 19 large cities showed today. Sixteen cities reported decreases in traffic fatalities. Two reported increases and there was no report available for the nation’s largest city, New York, where a slight increase was indicated. The figures substantiated a National Safety Council forecast that final 1938 figures for the nation, available Jan. 26, would show a saving of approximately 3000 over 19317. Officials gave a variety of reasons for the decline in automobile; deaths; most of them revolved around thesSafety council’s “Three E” program—enforcement, education and engineering.

Safest City Even Safer

Z. A. Faulkner, City Traffic Engineer of Evanston, Ill, which calls itself “the safest city in the world,” reported a decrease in deaths from five to three, and explained: “We've borne down on the three

‘E's’ harder than ever before. Our education program included drivers’ schools and lectures in schools, churches and civic clubs on ‘How to Drive.” Detroit cut its fatalities from 335 in 1937 to 193 last year, the lowest for any year since 1922. Richard Harfst, general manager of the Michigan Automobile Association, attributed the result to a general tightening up of all traffic regulations. Chicago cut deaths from 854 to 695. attributed by Capt. David Flynn of the traffic bureau to stricter enforcement of regulations and: quick apprehension of violators through two-way police radio in squad cars. In addition to the effect upon viotors, Capt. Flynn believed the program had the effect of making a large body of the motoring publi “safety conscious.” :

Blame ‘Carelessness

Memphis, which showed an increase in deaths, blamed careless-

the firm. In 1895, he purchased a|

ness of bicycle riders and pedestrians. Minneapolis, which also showed a gain, also blamed carelessness of pedestrians. Report. by cities: .
