A startling comparison is one that,
shows Hartford with four times as ma
ny accidents as the citjj had during
the same week last year. The total
for the seven cities is nearly twice
as large as last year’s figure. New
London and Bridgeport are lauded for ;
showing a decrease in accidents in j
spite <5f a continually growing increase
in population, and automobile registra
tion.
“The 157 accidents resulted in four
fatalities, three serious injuries (frac
tured skulls and internal injuries),
fourteen medium injuries (broken
bones), and thirty-four slight injuries,
(bruises and sprains). The broken
parts and wrecked automobiles that
were ascribed to the junk heap
brought the actual property damage to
about $114,084. Adding to this, the
figure of $25,000 for each fatality, tho
department gives the $115,084 figure
as the total loss for the week in the
seven cities. The figure for the en
tire state Is estimated to be about
twjce that of the seven cities.”
