Trenton.—“HejKirta 'hat are now Cuming to me from local officers of th« law and magistrates In various parti of New Jersey Indicate the taking drastic action against the automotilh Juggernaut such as never before oh tallied In some sections of our state." That was the answer ..f Motor Ve hide Commissioner William IMII U a question ns to the number of motoi vehicle accidents, fatal and utherwU.•.n New Jersey dm lug rvn i.t months and tne further question of what cat be done to minimize such acddeuti! and what Is lielng done to hold r< -k leas drivers In check. Commlsslonei' 1M11 feels deeply In the matter, bin finds considerable solace In the f .cii that the percentage of fatalities In ai. tomoblle accidents In New Jersey I* ■ smaller than In any other state In tht' United States liavlng the same numbei | of autoiiHihlles registered. •Terhaps It would he better to char •cterlze the condition as one giving i measure .of satlafactlon rather than aolace." said the head of the state mo • tor vehicle department, "for there cat be little In any fatal archli-nt or so rles of accidents that could possibly evoke any other than a fe«*llng of dee| rfgret and an Immediate desire to ink* aome action that would Insure pro veutlon of future acddeuls of the aaim , sort and from the same cause. Then Is no question us to the adequacy o! our law s in New Jersey, so far as they j concern prescribing punishment for those who are Involved in autumohlli accidents resulting In fatalities. Tit. two rrlndp-il factors. In my opinion tliat will do more to lessen the numliei of fatalities than all else are. first, n vigorous enforcement of all autumn bile and traffic laws, ordinances and regulations by all officials throughout the slate, whether tliey he connect is! with state, cnuuty or city or othet municipal f->rces. meaning by this th« ^ maglsirates as well ns the inen on tin streets, and. second, support liy an aroused public opinion of the men win are sworn In for the enforcement ol Officials Aroused. [ “The number of recent accidents, fatal and otherwise, with especial stress laid pon those Involving death f or deaths. Is apparently arousing some 'r municipalities and their officials from what seemed to be a lethargic condition. and 1 am mighty gla<. of It, for the men of my department cannot dr It all or do It alone. We are doing all we can and are constantly Increasing our avenues of endeavor for the making of mud safety a matter of paramount Importance from one end of New Jersey to the other, hut we need ■11 the help all the time that we can get from municipal traffic officer* and magistrates and all others concerned with the regulation of vehicular and pedestrian travel on the streets and roads We are getting real Co-oia-ra-tion Just now- In a munner that we never hud before and recent reports to me from different sections of the state in eonneetlon with many forms of motor vehicle law. as well as In conner-tlun with acclfient*. l.idl ate that both officers of the law and magistrate are taking more drastic action than ever la-fore In ruses that warrant more than the ordinary handling. It Is almost unnecessary to say that this ' MOdltb'ii Is pleasing to me and that myself ntid the entire resources of my ^■apartment can he drawn upon at my time by any municipality and iti, au- • tbor'tu-s to hack up action that may be taken In aggravated cases of accident or violations that conduce to tinea using of accidents.
