BY AUTOS IN CONN, Loss in Six Months Was $378,000 Commission Reports Hartford, July 27.—Property dam- age to the amount of $378,480 was caused by Connecticut motor vehicle accldents in the first six months of this year, according to reports flied with the accident division of the state motor vehicle department by persons involved in the mishaps. This figure is exclusive of the pecuniary loss re- sulting from the death of the seventy- five people in such accidents, which loss has been estimated at $3,889,- 762.60 by an actuary of onesof the large Hartford insurance companies. Including this latter figure, the total loss would be $4,268,242.60 not counting hospital bills, loss of time from business on account of injuries and loss of use of motor vehicles while under repair. The average age of the 75 persons jvhose lives were lost as a result of motor vehicle accidents in the first half of the year was 24 years, and the average earnings of a person in Connecticut are $25.25 a week throughout his life, The Experience Table of Mortality” used by insurance companies shows that the average person 24 years old may expect to live 393 more years. At that rate, each of those killed would have earned $51,863.50 In the re- mainder of his or her life, which, for the whole number of 76 would have amounted to $3,889,762.50. Department records show that 6,- 808 motor vehicle accidents occurred in the state in the six months ended June 30, which represented an in- crease of 2,483 over the number of such accidents reported in the cor- responding period of last year. ‘WITH NAVAL RESERVES New York, July 27.—The naval re- serve fleet of the third district, em- bracing New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and including six Eagle boats and five Sub-chasers with crews numbering 1,000, today prepared for a review in the Hudson river by As- sistant Secretary of Navy Theodore Roosevelt on his return from New- port, R.
