C., 1934's uutonio- Uile death loll was 33,980, a 15 per cent gum over 1933 und "a new all- . .me high." The bureau averaged the death rate at 26.9 persons o u t of every lOO.OUti. In 1933 the rule was 23.3. In 1934, in addition, 1789 per sons were killed in collisions be tween automobiles, railroad trains and street cars. I.a irr figures, covering 8« major cities for the 52 weeks ended Sep tember 28, have indicated the death rate was continuing upward in 1035. Coinciding with the census fig ures was a statement from J. J. Pel- ley, president of ihe Association of American Railroads, which said: “Not a single railroad passenger was killed in a train accident on steam railroads in the United Stales in Ihe first six months of 1035.” The census bureau said Nevada's 1034 death rate of 73.4 was the highest among the stales and com pared with Rhode Island's low of 14.6. Wyoming was placed second high with 45.85 and California next with 42.62. The bureau added: “An unusual situation is revealed which shows that the four states having the highest death rates are in the west ruiher Ilian Ihe thickh settled eastern states.” Only three stales— Kansas, Dela ware and New Hampshire— reduc ed their death rate from Ihe 1933 levels.
