RURAL ACCIDENTS
GREATER THAN CITY
Rural accidents caused the greater
number of traffic fatalities in Oregon
during the year 1940, but urban fatal
accidents showed the greatest per
centage of increase over the previous
year, figures compiled by Earl Snell,
5ecretary of state, disclosed today.
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,
