Many People Are
Killed on Highways
76 MET DEATH DURING PAST
SIX MONTHS—MANY AUTO
ACCIDENTS DUE TO IN-
TOXICATION
Seventy-six persons were killed
and 586 injured on State Highways
during the last six months.
The majority of accidents contin-
ue to occur on dry, straight road
sections, rather than on slippery
eurves—reports received by the
State Highway Department show.
This is not only true of the month
of March, but of the period begin-
ning October 1, last, when the High-
way department began the compila-
tion of accident data.
Since October 1, 1923, 698 acei-
dents were reported to the depart-
ment. Of this total 476 occurred on
dry roads, 185 on roads that were
wet and 37 on icy roads. Three

{ROUTES MAY BE EXTENDED

i eis
i The bill introduced by Congress-
man William W. Greist, of Lancas-
ter, authorizing the establishment of
rural mail routes from 36 to 75 miles
iin length has been passed by the
House without a dissenting vote. Un-
less opposition develops in the Sen-
ate, which is unlikely, the bill will be
enacted into law this season.
Under the present law, rural
{routes may be established up to 36
miles in length and motor routes from
50 to 75 miles. By placing the maxi-
,mum on rural routes at 75 miles, the
, extension of service in many locali-
