17 CES CUT --ABCIDENT TOLL : Bay State Tragedies Fail to Keep Pace With Use of Cars. Motor vehicle fatalities can be re- duced. Seventeen Massachusetts cities lowered their traffic mortality totals in 1923, ‘The report on highways accidents for the fiscal year, recently Issued by Frank R. Goodwin, registrar °f metor vehicles, shows marked pro. gress in handling the situation throughout the eritire state. ‘Though the commonwealth as a whole had a larger traffic toll last pear than in 1922. the total increase ‘was 11 per cent as compared with @ 25 per cent larger volume of mo? vehicles. Furthermore, the year's roster of 578 was less than tho total of 582 In 1919. Organtzed safety ef- forts were begun in 1920 with re- sults which were immediately suc- cessful, From the standpoint of reducing the number of fatalities in propo: tion to motor vehicles on the high- ways, each year has shown im- provement. There was one death to 644 vehicles in 1920 and one 99$ in 1923. Encouraged by the accomplish- ment of the 17 cities, however, Mass- achusetts believes that an actual as well as a proportionate decrease in fatalities can be achieved for the commonwealth as a whole. Mr. Goodwin states that the two most important means of curbing eccidents have been the revoking "of Ucenses of drivers, and the strict examination of applicants for driy- = ers licenses. = The problem ts not confined to +, the motorist, however, as 550 fatal- * tvee analyzed showed the pedestrian to be at fault in 21 per cent of the cares.
