Disregard ofihe G rade Cross
in* Signs and on Highways
Cause Death Increase
. ..', ' -' .?'' '"'jJ*
Raleigh, Jan. 19.?Dedth, riding in
automobiles over North Carolina's
great' highway system, struck 453
times during the pest year, continu-;^
fpg Its steady increase over the toll
of407 for 1.925 and 344 for 1924. The
figures are obtained from the . com
bined December and annual report of , J
the bureau of vital statistics of the
state board of health. ~~~
Oblivious to the state's grade cross
ing stop law whic# has not halted, the
steady increase of deaths from the .??
cause, 40 motorists died when trains
crashed into their cars. This is a
gain of 15 over the 1925 total of 1
and an increase of 80 over the'16 to-x ^ 1
tal for 1924.
Fifty-seven of the 407 violent
deaths from automobiles came in De- ,
cember. Three of these were at grade
crossings.
With- 35 people having burned to
death during the past month, the-to- "?
tal lives lost by fire in this state was
increased to 280. The 1925 figure was >1
259/while the total for 1924.was 805.
There were 213 homicides and 144
suicides in the state during the past
ypar/ 19 of the homicides and 20 of
the suicides having been committed
during the past month. TheJ924 and
1925 totals for homicides were .284
and 260, respectively, while the 1924
suicide total was 111 and the 1925
total-was 128. The'figures" show that
while the "number of murders tit
North Carolina .are gradually decreas- . . 1
ing, that the number of suicides stead- ,
ilv rises.' ?
With the December total of 18, the
number of North Caroliirians who died
from accidental gunshot wounds rose
to 8 as compared to 115 in 1925 and y.
198/. in 1924. " .
A doubtful commentary on the ef
ficiency, of the state's officers of the
law was the fact that there were 90
One hundred and ten people died
from accidental drowning/five of the
number in December. The 1925 total
wjis 105, and the 1924 total 117.
Seventeen people were killed by
lightning during the past year.

The main point of difference is the
method for financing the eight

Both set tf recommendations will
carry the endorsement of the need of
