A BAD RECORD. After an investigation of traffic condi- tlong in New York oity the August erand jury finds that thers are too many deaths in the streets of that city from automobile gecidents. In view of the faet that there have been 213 per- sons killed in the borough of Maphat- tan in the past six months it ought not to require a grand jury investigation to come to the conclusion that the auto fa- tality record was too high, but inas- much @k the grand jury has glven it at- tentlon and presented “recommendations for dealing with the situation it is pos- sible that the needed results will be ob- tained.
