—-41 Die on Roads
NEW YORK, .lnno ail—Although
the New York Central Lines carried
10 percent of all rtillrond passengers
in 1924. not a single passenger was
killed in a train accident during tile
year. according to ilnures compiled
by Chas. ii. Ilili. General Safety
Agent. On other railroads 41 pass-
engers were killed in train accidents
in 1924. a decrease of 1 as compared
with 1923.
The foregoing relates to train ac-
cidents o\‘,v. in other kinds of ac-
cidents. in which tho passenger was
either wholly or in part to blame.
153 passengers were, killed on all the
railroads in 1921. an increase of 7
per cent as compared with tile pre-
ceding year. Hf this total :14 were
killed on the New York Central
Lines. a decrease of 17 per cent as
compared with 1923.
, Of enlployes 1.471! were killed on
he railroads ot' the l'nited States in
9:4 as compared with 1.040 in
1923. 11 decrease of 23.7 per cent. (if
this total. 14!) were killed on the
New York Central Lines, as coul-
pared with :ot in 1923. a. decrease
of 25.8 per cent. This decrease in
fatal uccldeiits, it will be. noted, ex-
cels that of the railroads as a whole
by 2% per cent.
0f trt-spasscrs on railroads 2.621
were killed on all lilies during the
year as compared with 2A1!) in
1923. a decrease of 7 per cent. (if
this total :20 were, killed on the
New York Central Lines as compar-
ed with 7 per cent for the railroads
In grade crossint: accidents 2,149
were killed on all railroads as com-
pared with ".268 in 1027!, a decrease,
of 5.2 per cHnt. Of this total 2.33
were killed on the New York t‘en-
ti'ai Lines as compared witll 3S2l in
1923. a decrease of tti.tl per cent.
The grand total of fatalities on
the railroads of all classes from all
causes in 1924 was 6.6l7 as coin-
pared with 7 "AT. Til the preeedlili:
year, a decreasi- ot ilkli per cent. Of
this total the number of lives lost
on the New York Central Lines in
1924 was GM. as con’iparetl with 789
in 1923. a. decrease of 12.8 per cent,
'which is ‘2“; per cent better show-
ing than that for railroads as a
whole. i
This marked dierease ill railroad
accidents is n‘sl tnil'iressive when
1 Compared with the appalling total of
17.345 lives lost ill motor \ehieic
accidents in 15114. which was an av-
erage ’of >lT.‘.’v for mcry day in the
year. This was an increase of no
less than all per cent mer the total
for preceding year. which was 16.‘
452.
The showing becomes still more
impressive when it. is remembered
that two-thirds of all fatalities on
railroads embracing trespasscrs and
grade crossilir: aeeldrnts are, beyond
the direct control of the railroads.
All they can do to decrease these
classes of accidents is to try to edit-
cats the public. to ltcep off railroad

At the special town meeting call-
ed last night for the purpose of vot-
ing on the establishment of a. police
department. out of the 526 votes
cast. 425 were in favor of appropri-
ating the $5.945 necessary. The up—
proprlatlon. which will be raised by
a. special tax. will maintain a chief
and tile patrolmen.
Judge Mark \V. Norman of the
Probate court ill his argument. that
such a department should be es-
tablished said. "The Circle Inn is
but. a cesspool fer all evil. and if
such 1. police force. had been in ex-
istence long ago. it would not still
be open." '
Another item brought before the
meeting was the proposal of an
option on the Wee Burn Golf club
property. The. .schooi committee
was authorized by popular vote to
procure an option on :2 acres of
the golf club property. It is stipu-
lated that not more than $1,500 per
acre be paid. It is proposed that a
school and athletic field be con-
structed on the property. 350 feet
of which faces on the Post road.
The whole. discussion now centers
over who shall be Chief of Police.

The meeting Min the largest in
the history of Darlen. Every inch
of standing and sitting space in the
school auditorium was packed. More
than 550 people were in the hall.
and actual count showed 282 wo-
men. an unusually large number.
The. women seemed. from the ap-

solid for the Police Force establish-
ment. .
Speaking in favor. Dr. A. N. Phil-
lips said:
"Although local press, and espe-
cially the Stamford Advocate. ,has
said. we are here to‘loek horns. we
are not going to fight. Darlen has
grown more since the last census
than any other town in the State of
Connecticut. Conditions have chang-
ed. We have three officers now. I
remember when I used to drive my
horses through town when we had
no officers. Times are changing.
