It is suggested in the current is— sue of the Motor Vehicle Department bulletin. out today that the Slate might adopt some plan of state aid to loans which would enable small municipaliies to have traffic police- men for work within their limits. Under the plan suggested any town which dulred might have a state policemen stationed at some intersection or other dangerous place in its 1-<.nfines by sharing the ox- penso with the state. "litany of the accidents which happen on state highways.” according to the bulletin. "have been within the IllllllS of small towns and villages, due of course to the fact that there was no apparent reason for slowing down and keeping control of the our. and insufficient local police regulations." Most of the 22.5‘8 motor vehicle accidents which were reported to the motor vehicle department last your were caused. ‘ the bulletin points out, by "that portion of the whole group of motor vehicle oper- ators which may be classed as un- desirable because of‘imperfect' driv- ing. This shows that the’atteution of the police and of the slate de- partments must be more closely di. rected against them and that penal- ties for violation of law must be more severe and lire: 1: suspensions more frequent. During the year 1925. the motor v iiele depariment suspended 7.093 licenses it _ there were 13,518 con- victions and 937 complaints of viola- tion of the motor vehicle laws. The observation is made in the bulletin that=more children were hurt by automobiles in 1925 than in 1924. indicating need of concentrated teaching and continued watchfulness on the inrt of "vents and guard- ians.

In passing it is noted that “horses seem to show the effect of education." as there were only twen- ty-nine r‘tnaway horses involved in motor which accidents last year as against‘sixiy the year before. Whereas :07 accidents were attrib- ed to defective equipment in 1925. Whereas 207 accidents were atirnbo tiled to glaring bendllehis in 1924. only 88 were laid to that cause in 1925.
