Mike and Averett Speaking of PUBLIC SAFETY Modern street lighting is a pow erful force for safety after dark, according to reports from cities throughout the nation to the Na tional Street and Traffic Safety Lighting Bureau. For example: • In Dayton, O., service and build ings director George F. Baker said, “A lighted city is a live city.” Last year, when Dayton’s' extensive street lighting mod ernization program was nearly complete, traffic deaths during the hours of darkness dropped 41 per cent. • Police Chief Frank Evans of Peoria, 111., reports, “Crime defi nitely is down in Peoria. There are no shadows for the criminal to hide in with the modern lighting system. There’s no doubt of its effectiveness.” • Total traffic accidents in six Con necticut communities, after mod ern relighting of streets, dropped from 253 to 192, in stances of property damage fell : from 203 to 163, and the cost of these accidents declined from 5106,000 to $46,000. • From El Paso* Tex., Police Chief Risinger declares, “We don’t r need statistical evidence to show the value of street lighting on the south side. You drive the holdup men and the assaulters off the street as soon as you light them.” • Police Chief Roland R. Kelley of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, be lieves modern new street light? ing will reduce traffic accidents to a minimum. Relighting the . main traffic artery through town | reduced accidents on that street more than 50 per cent! The experience of these and many other cities, the Lighting Bureau declares, establishes the tremendous importance of modern street lighting for protection against night crime and traffic ac cidents David Baldwin, National Shfety Council spokesman, says, “Properly designed, properly In stalled and properly maintained street lighting will save lives, and we need much more of it than we have now.” Chappell also went to Saluda.
