I'he truck as well as the bus has plaved its part in traffic congestion. There were 497.452 trucks produced 4n the ted States and Canada in the last vear, with a retail value of $606,000,000. This was an increase of 32 per cent over the previous vear. There are now 51 railroads using trucks as a part of their freight transportation service. and all of these ¥actors have tended to increase con- gestion in citiez. The congestion has reflected in the automobile fa- which in the last vear ran up to 22,500, an increase of 00 over the previous annual period. Excluding collistons with street cars and railroad trains, these deaths totaled 19,800, as compared with 17,600 in 1924. It i= estimated there are about 30 non-fatal accidents €or each fatal case. Thus these factors, although con- nected with mechanical transporta- tlon, are causing an increase in the mumber of people who walk.
