Newbry estimated today. He explained that calculable costs include wage loss, medical expense, property damage, and overhead cost of insurance. They do not include insurance pre miums or claims paid. An itemized accounting of the 1949 experience assesses 354 fa talities at $6,442,800; 11,685 in- Newbry said safety officials calculate total losses chargeable to traffic accidents at $24,515, 540. The amount is based on Na tional Safety Council figures averaging $18,200 per death, $660 per injury, and $160 for each property damage accident, juries at $17,712,100; and 64,754 PERK UP YOUR WITH THESE The fashion home! Perk it CASE accidents at $10,300,6-10. The secretary added that 125,478 of the state's registered 6f,(K3 ve hicles were involved in the mis haps. Newbry pointed out that the figures represent only the money loss to individuals, serving to emphasize the waste of acci dents. Expense through govern mental agencies of police and highway work made necessary by the crashes cannot be esti mated. And a dollars and cents figure can hardly represent the true loss of killed and injured victims, the secretary concluded. ! 0 LEGION SCHOLARSHIPS May 15 has been set for appli cations of sons of deceased vet erans for Department of Oregon, American Legion scholarships.
