REPORT STRESSES
Summer's Here - How's the Car?
FOR SAFE DRIVING
"At lat 35 per cent of the night
fttal accidents, It seems reasonable
to believe, should be prevented by the
provision of adequate highway light
ing." accord. ng to a report on tech
nological trends recently submitted to
President Roosevelt by the national
resources committee.
Citing statlctlca compiled by the
Travelers Insurance company and the
National Safety council, the report
goes on to prove tfce vital relation
ship of visibility to night fatalities,
which In 1935 numbered 31,480 and
comprised over 60 per cent of the
total day and night traffic deaths,
even though only one-fifth of the
twenty-four hour traffic Is on the
road after dark.
Prom figures submitted by the
states of New Jersey, Oregon. New
York, North Carolina, and Peunsyl
vania. It was observed that fateJlty
experience was about the same Tor
the summer months of May. June and
July aa it was for the winter months
of November, December and January;
with one Important exception, how
ever, that between the houra of 5 to
8 p. m., fatalities were 58 per cent
higher in the winter months when it
Is dark than in summer when It is
light, and despite the fact that traf
fic volume la considerably less In the
winter. The report estimates that a
reduction of 47 per cer.t In night fa
talities during the winter period
should be expected If sufficient light
were supplied.
Studies made by by R. E. Simpson
In 00 cities, quoted by the report,
showed that the average day fatality
sate per M. T. U. million traffic unite)
n street carrying 1800 automobile
per hour, was 0.0. The ratio of night
to day fatalities on these same streets,
according to the grade of street light
ing, was:
Grade of street
lighting (lu
mens per foot)
Ratio of night
fate-lttlea per M.
T. V. to day fa
talities per M.
T. U.
A. 80 or more 8 to 1
B, 40 to 80 . 13 to 1
C, 35 to 40 .- 21 to 1
D, leas than 35 47 to 1
"While the extension of highway
lighting may be justified on the basis
of cold dollars-and-centa economics,
based on anticipated reduction of
night accidents, numerous other so
cial effects may be expected." The
report continues to mention the ad-
cantages resulting from the reduc
tion in highway crime, more effi
cient until lzation of highways, and
Increased comfort In ntgbt driving.
Estimates show that about 80 per
cent of traffic moves In the daytime
as compared to 20 per cent at night
a fact which Indicates that the tre
mendous Investment In our highway
system Is In large part being wasted
during the hours of darkness.
Concluding, the report says: "The
present trend towards the extension
of highway lighting may be expected
to receive added stimulus."

And when you've sampled its mettle
