Traffic Death Toll Is Reduced While Oregon traffic deaths drop ped form 149 during the first seven months of 1942 to 116 for the same period this year, the accident death rate failed to show such a substan tial reduction, Secretary of State Bob Farrell said today. The actual death toll was down 22 percent, but the death rate drop ped only seven percent. The death rate indicates the number of per sons killed in relation to the amount of travel on the highways and st reets in the state. ‘ Thus, our record so far this year Is an improvement when compared to last ear. but actually, the impr ovement in driving and walking practices is not as great Is it should be,” Farrell declared. “We should strive to bring the death rate down for translated into human factors, that would be a far greater reduc tion in the actual number of deaths in Oregon." Concentration of considerable tr affic in the metropolitan areas of Oregon, and slight reductions in tr avel in some rural areas Is helping reduce the actual death toll in the ' state. The greater number of traffic accidents in the areas of heavy tr affic concentrations is one of the prime factors in holding up the accident death rate. Travel in Oregon during the first seven months of this year amounted to 249,769,806 miles, according to the figures on gasoline used for hihway purposes. This is a decrease of about twelve precent from the travel last year. The traffic death rate for July of this year was 7.6 persons killed per one hundred million miles of travel, as compared to a rate of 9.5 for July of 1942. The rate for the first seven months of this year was 7.9, compared to 8.5 last year.
