The increase in fatal ac- cidents and persons injured is attribu- ted to increased traffic, largely due to the advent of the touring season, Eynon believes. The total number of accidents in April was 2996, exceeding those of March by 412.

Children killed in April totaled thirty seven, or sixteen more than in March. Seventy-seven persons between the age of 15 and 54 were killed, while forty- one persons over 55 years met death. The twenty grade crossing accidents reported were fewer by five than in March. Speeders—Road Hogs Speeders were blamed for 390 crashes thirteen deaths and 377 nonfatal ac- cidents.
