Cass Street Roseburg (' buy IMPERIAL out of Traffic Accidents In Oregon Add Up To Immense Loss Oregon motorists footed a bill for at least $25,633,400 last year as their share of the cost of traf fic accidents to Individuals, Sec retary of State Newbry has com puted. Safety officials estimate the average cost of each traffic death at $18,000, injuries at $060, and property damage at $160 per ac cident. These sums include Im mediate costs plus such hidden figures as temporary earning losses, present value of future earnings for permanent total dis abilities or deaths, and overhead costs of insurance, he explained. Newbry pointed out that the figure is based on 1946 costs as determined by the National Safety Council, and should un doubtedly be higher because of intervening increases in the price level. "Even though we regard this sum as only approximate, it is nevertheless a staggering fig ure," he declared. "Individuals are seldom prepared for these sudden blows, and they are tli. more tragic because they are largely unnecessary." A breakdown of the figure shows 63,590 accidents account ing for repair bills of $10,174,400, 439 deaths coining to $7,902,000, and.- 11.4;"0 Injuries racking up $7,557,000 to complete the total. Newbry pointed out that dollars and cents figuers take no account of accompanying pain and brief, but , only of sufferings to the poeketbook. Snakes die If they are left for long in the hot sun.
