There were 205 rural fatal acci dents last year, compared to 120 fatal accidents in cities. Rural fatal ities in 1940 were 4.2 per cent over the rural fatalities for 1939 while urban fatalities last year were up 17.6 per cent. In 1940, rural fatalities constitut ed 62.7 per cent of the total fatal ac- "idents reported in the state while in 1 939, rural fatalities constituted 64 per cent of the total. The proportion of rural fatalitiei to the whole in 1 940 was thus lower than in 1939. Rural accidents consistently cause the greatest percentage of fatalities in this state, Snell’s figures revealed. In 193 7 they were 62 per cent of the total, in 1938 they were 52 per cent, the they a re to be consum ed."
