COMMENTS BY CORONER Press Association STRATFORD, Tuesday. An inquest was concluded today regarding the death of William W. Scott, who was killed by a car going over a bank on the Strathmore Saddle after colliding with another car at a bend. A verdict of accidental death was returned. The coroner, Mr. W. L. Kennedy, said that road accidents v/ere much too frequent, but he did not think the piling up of regulations would alter the situation, unless a moral road sense was cultivated among motorists. The road at the point where this accident happened was only 13ft. Tin. wide and the coroner thought roads at such places should be widened Something might be done if a portion of the petrol and tyre taxes were, diverted to providing for a road patrol in the shape of a policeman on a hitrhpowered motor-cycle.
