MOTOR JUGGERNAUTS
SYDNEY CASUALTIES. DRAIN HOSPITAL COFFERS 'Received 28, 9.20 a.m.) Sydney, Nov. 28. The large and ever-increasing number of motor accidents is causing a serious drain on the funds of the public hospitals, which are pressing for Government recognition of this special burden upon them. The Minister of Health Dr. R. Arthur estimates that these accidents cost hospitals £lOO,OOO annually. He proposes to take a portion of the main roads grant raised by motor taxes to relieve hospital funds. The crowded condition of motor traffic has become such a pressing problem that the Chief Secretary is calling a conference to discuss new regulations for controlling both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
