TREND OF TRAFFIC TOLL
APPALLING CASUALTY LIST. “No Minister of Transport can fail to be appalled at a casualty list which ran to 6648 killed and 226,711 injured .in Britain during the year 1938,” said Captain Evan Wallace, British Minister of Transport, in a recent address. “The only small modicum of comfort at the moment seems to me to come from the fact that the number of persons killed in road accidents in 1938 was slightly less than the number killed in 1929, in spite of an increase of 40 per cent in the number of motor vehicles. It is a hopeful sign that in the RegistrarGeneral’s figures for deaths due to road transport those for children of under 15 years of age have dropped by onethird in the seven years from 1930 to 1937.”
