E; @ McDEVITT 2 b TREND OF TRAFFIG DEATHS IS UPWARD Washington’s Rate Is Below the Average for the Nation. ‘The traffic death rate here is below the average for the Nation as a whole, but the trend is up instead of down, and some cities are much safer than the Nation's Capital, according to fig- ures collected over the past year and made public by the Department of Com- merce today. The trend of traffic deaths for the Nation is sharply rising, according to death rate? This question is answered with figures by the Department of Com- merce. Taking the death rate per 100,000 mlll"wn for the year ended this July, his city’s figure stands at 15.1. Buf- 'alo, which is the city nearest the size of Washington, according to latest esti- mates, is given a higher death rate of 23.6, while Newark is given 19.1 and Milwaukee 19.5. Bt Boston, with 200,000 more population than Wash- ington, has a rate lower than Wash- ington, at 14.4, while several smaller cities are safer than Washington, ac- cording to their death rate figures. Among the rates of the largest cities are New York, 18.8 per 100,000 popul: tion; Chicago, 24.7; Philadelphia, 18.8; Cleveland, 24.6, a 3 ‘The number of deaths in Washington rose from 82 for the 52-week period Jast year to 83 for this year, repre- senting fatalities from accidents inside the corporate limits. The total deaths for Washington, however, including | those outside the city, were listed as growing from 117 to 122. ‘The figures for Buffalo and Wash- ington are interesting, as the cities are listed at near the same population, ac- cording to latest estimates. Buffalo | deaths inside the city limits for the 52 weeks ended July, 1928, were 108, as | compared to Washington's 82, and for | the year ended this July Buffaio showed | 131 "deaths as compared to Washing- statistics for 78" selected cities from which the Department of Commerce gathers data.

For the 52-week period ended July| 13, 1929, the 78 cities showed total| deaths of 7.911, as compared to 7177 for the comparable 52 weeks of the previous year, an increase of the fatal- | ity rate per 100,000 persons from 21.9 0 24 | ‘This city is shown to have a death | rate considerably lower than the aver- | age for the 78 cities, Washington's total | rate rising, however, from 21.3 to 22.2 per 100,000 population.
