Of the 18 persons killed in traf­
fic in September, four, or 22 per­
cent, were pedestrians. This is u
reduction from the toll of six
pedestrians killed in Svptembi
of 1943 which was 24 percênt of
the total fatality list. There wen
two bicycle deaths this month
compared to one a year ago.
Only two deuths resulted from
collisions between motor vehicles
this September. A year ago,
there were 11 fatalities involving
'’ollisions between motor vehicle®
>r 44 percent of the total dent*'
oil. There were five from non­
collision accidents this Seph
her and four from vehicle colli-
'ions with fixed objects.
Since speed too great for exist
ing conditions usually is a prime
factor in non-collision accidens,
while failure to yield right of
vay»or driving on the wrong side
>f the road are the prime factors
in collision accidents. Farrell de­
clared the fatality toll for this
September indicated a need for
more drivers to watch their speed
on rural highways. Speed checks
maintained by the trnffic engi­
neering division of the state high­
way department on the Pacific
highway indicated onlv 18 per-
cent of the drivers using this
highway in September held their
speed below the 35 mile wartime
speed limit.
i "With vehicles and equipment
getting older and with tire re­
placements uncertain, it is im­
portant that drivers hold their
speeds down as a conservation
measure as well as a safety mea­
sure,” Farrell declared.
