Traffic Death Rate In Oregon
Down More Than Gaa Use
The traffic death rate in Oregon
continued to drop during the month
of July, Earl Snell, secretary of state,
today said gasoline consumtpion fig
ures had disclosed.
For ths first seven months of this
year, traffic accidents claimed lives
at the rate of 8.4 per one hundred
million miles of travel while for the
same period last year, the rate was
ten.
In actual fatalities, there were 147
deaths compared to 188 last year.
The decrease in the death rate is
even greater than the decrease ih
travel, as shown by gasoline con
sumption, Snell declared. Gasoline
used for highway purposes dropped
7.7 per cent during the first seven
months of the year. Against this 7.7
per ecnt drop, the death rate was
down 16 per cent.
