WAR'S lOLL Combined Deaths and Inju ries 700,600 in 1923. Waih'foytoft, "'I t?, r?> is ulni^t lack of systematic' ciion to secure ac curate and complete data regarding traffic * accidents, iheir types ami causes, am! methods of prevention," declares the <Vnniuiitiv on 8tatl|UG|i of the Con fort* net1 on tjiroor ami High way Safety, In n report to Secretary of (.'oiuimMif Hoover based on a thor ough sin \.c> will* h revealed an annual Ionh in the United States due to street and highway acridents In lOiiJt of 000 persons killed, 078,000 serious in juries and an economic loss of $000, 000,000. A The committee's report shows that there were more than twice as many casualties In street and highway ac cidents In the 1 nlted States during 1028 than there wore for the United States army at homo and abroad in the World svar. The highway and street casualties include "killed, and seriously Injured." This takes 110 ac count of minor accidents. The report also shows that there were only 14,210 more of our men killed in action In the World war than In street and highway accidents in 1023. In states where centralized agen das lm\o been created to investigate such accidents. It has been possible to attempt a systematic remedy of the conditions. Hut Ml states have no adequate system for securing such in formation and in tew states is any record kept except where death or se rious personal injury result from traffic accidents. Committee's Recommendations. Such facts, the committee says, "are fundamental to the adoption of ade quate methods of tratllc control, If the present situation is to he Improved." And the committee's recommendations provide that: "Statistics regarding street and high way accidents are so vital to any com prehensive understanding and treat ment of the safety problem that their collection and analysis In every state and community is essential. "Where siich do not exist, statutes should be passed in every state which should make it the specific business of some state agency, preferably that clothed with authority to issue and revoke licenses, to receive traffic ac cident reports and Investigate all such accidents, whether occurring within or without the corporate limits of mu nicipalities. "It should be made, by law, obliga tory for those concerned to report, nil traffic accidents, and an adequate pen alty for failure to report should be provided. "Reasonable uniformity in reporting and tabulating data is essential, and some competent body should under take the compilation of standard defi nitions of terms.y "Sufficiently detailed Information should be gathered to indicate clearly whether the accidents occurred- be cause of: Recklessness, carelessness or Incapacity of persons; fault of mechanism of vehicle ; physical condi tions of the locality where the acci dent occurred. Urges Spot Maps. The committee includes IS items of information wliteh should be ob tained i<i constitute un adequate re port. Spot maps, to detect danger points and to serve ;is a basis for remedial action, should be maintained. The experience of the committee led lis members t<> express the hope that Its report "will lend to Improvement in the jield ??! trafllc accident report ing; that ii will stimulate the govern mental aueiK ies and the various pri vate organisations Interested to a more Intensive stu^y . and greater efforts." In Its study of fatal accidents the committee found from the records of the census bureau that highway fa talities are growing at a more rapid rate than accidental deaths from all causes and that automobile fatalities are growing more rapidly than high way fatalities ns a whole. For ex ample, the total number of accidental deaths Increased 10.7 per cent between 1922 and 1023, whereas the total num ber of highway fatalities increased 17.8 per cent, and automobile fatalities in creased 2<?per cent.
