Traffic Doctors Cure
Road Ailments
By i. b. duttt
Communities suffering from traffic ailments are calling in
highway doctors. Traffic surveys, comparable to medical
examinations are revealing in positive terms what was already
known in a vague way. And again these traffic studies have
brought to light important facts that no one knew anything
about. *
Vermont, In a survey conducted!*
by the State highway department
in co-operation with the United
States Bureiia of Public Roads,
found that the State roads, com
prising nearly a third of the total
highway mileage, carry more than
four-fifths of all the traffic.
The town roads, embracing two
thirds of the entire mileage, carry
but an eighth of all vehicles.
That State roads bear by far the
most traffic was further evidenced
by the traffic survey made in Ohio,
also with the assistance of the
Bureau of Public Roads. In that
State, 17.7 per cent of all traffic is
carried on the State highways,
which at present constitute about
one-eighth of the road mileage. The
township highway system contain
ing three-fifths of the State’s roads
accommodates but an eighth of the
V< Tho e, trafflc survey not only re
veals the routes that should be
paved because of the heavy volume
of trafficrthey carry at present, but
also Indicates future trends in high
way developments and needs. The
Ohio survey, for instance, brought
to light that within a few years a
number es roads would be carrying
many mure vehicles than they are
now* '
As a result, highway ’ plans can
he laid well in advance, a thing of
roads css* not be
The Ohio studies further point
out that money would be saved the
State if 1.220 miles of roads were
to be reconstructed, 1.594 miles
widened, and 1.707 miles of new
highways built. The total cost of
such an undertaking is estimated
at 1100,000.000— yet when the
yearly Ohio highway income is con
sidered it 19 quite apparent that this
outlay could be easily made and
with everlasting benefit to the citi
senry.
In the future practically every
community will be forced to build
more and better highways. Com
munities that lay their plans today,
arrange for the financing of these
highways today, and start work on
needed roads today, will have the
rogds today, while others will not.

Through improvement of stand
ards of medical care for victims
of automobile crashes the Ameri
can Automobile Association has
launched a drive to reduce deaths
from traffic accidents.
Plans for a “safety afterwards”
campaign were made public today
clarlng that the motor organisation
and its over I,oo© affiliated clubs
would strive for this objective as
well as “safety first’’
Findings of the research com
mittee of tho board of traumatic
surgery of ths American College of
Surgeons were cited to show evi
dence of the imperative need for
reform in the treatment of Injured.
“This is a national organization
of leaders in the medical profession
and hospital world that already has
undertaken measures to reduce in
fections, shorten periods of dis
ability and especially to lessen
mortality,” Henry said.
“This humanitarian matter of
'safety afterwards’ is a phase of
safety that has boon neglected. Not
enough attention has been paid to
the character of treatment of those
injured by automobiles.”
Henry declared that tho situation
can be remedied. Ho referred to
the possibility of selection of well
educated doctors and better reduc
tion of other classes of physicians,
with an extention of hospital im
provement. Sound surgical train
ing and proper hospital organiza
tion may be tho factors that make
the difference between life and
death or between a sound limb and
a crippled one, according to Henry.
