635 AUTO MBPS FOR NEW JERSEY Statistics Show' More Vigilance by Authorities Here Than in New York. FIGURES BY HIGHWAYS PROTECTIVE SOCIETY High Rates for New Jersey Towns on Main Highways from New York. NEW YORK, Oct. 11—On the basis of statistics compiled from January 1 to October 1 this year, the National Highways Protective Society today issued a comparative statement of automobile accidents during that period in the principal cities of New York and New Jersey. Records have also been kept of the number of arrests and convictions as the result of automobile accidents in the two States. A comparison of tlvese records shows I that New York city has fewer auto mobile accidents in proportion to its population than any city with a population above 100,000 In either State. It also shows that the aver age rate for cities in New York State Is considerably above the average of New Jersey cities, and that arrests and convictions following automobile accidents are proportionately four times as numerous in New Jersey than in New York. The figures for accidents include only those in which a person was sufficiently injured to receive medical attention; they also include those l killed by automobiles. For purposes |pf compwison they have been reduced to an annual rate per 100,000 of popu lation. For some of'the larger cities in both States the figures follow; NEW YORK. NEW JERSEY. N. Y city. 29 Newark .51 Buffalo . 69 Jersey City... 47 Rochester . 56 Hoboken .97 Syracuse . 39 Paterson . 32 Albany . 59 Trenton . 44 Yonkers . 71 Atlantic City. 69 Poughkeepsie ..100 Camden . 18 Troy . 21 N. Brunswick. 23 Etlca . 48 The Oranges.. 57 These figures afford grounds for comparison, for instance. In New York State, Yonkers and Poughkeep sie, and In A'ew Jersey. Hoboken and the Oranges, as well at Atlantic City, have a very high rate. In all except Atlantic City this is probably due to the fact that they lie on the main highways from New York city to points north and west. Atlantic City Is a resort city, where the number of automobiles is also disproportion ate to the population. Twenty-one cities In New York State, with a total population of about 1,599,000, show an accident rate of fifty-two per 100.990 per year. Fifteen cities in New Jersey, with a total population of 1*275,009, show a rate of forty-eight. These may be considered as typical of conditions In the two States, and when cities of approximately equal population are compared, the difference In favor of New Jersey is more pronounced, as the following table shows: Annual Population Acc’dent Rato City in thousands per 1f>0,000 Ruffalo . 423 89 Newark . 347 51 Rochester .... 218 58 Jersey City ... 288 <7 Albany . 10ft 59 Paterson .* 125 32 Trenton . 98 44 Poughk’psle . . 28 100 New' Bruns'ck 23 23 During the period from which these figures were taken* there were 635 au tomobile accidents in New Jersey; 861 In New’ York State, outside of the city of New York, and 1.508 in that city. Following these accidents there Were 101 arrests in Newr Jersey, 37 in New’ York State, and 63 in New’ York city. In other words, one accident in Bix in New Jersey was followed by the detention of the driver, while in New York State as a whole, only one accident in 35 was followed by an ar rest. It would seem, therefore, that a driver in New York State had four chances to become involved in an ac cident without danger to himself as compared with a driver in New Jer sey, and that perhaps a general knowledge among drivers of the rela tive enforcement of the law In the two States was responsible in large part for the lower accident rate in the State w'here more strict enforcement seems to be the rule.

The city won two of its contentions, that of its right to the westerly side of Railroad avenue now covered by the freight and passenger depots of the railroad from HanTilton to Market streets and that of its ownership of Hay A]ley. part of which the railroad buildings and an express office oc cupy. The railroad, however, won the point that was the starting of the suit in ejectment, the foot of me chanic street A Jury in the Supreme Circuit Court returned the verdict late yesterday that gave the New Jersey Railroad avenue tract to the plaintiffs. Earlier in the day Judge Nelson Y. Dungan had directed verdicts in the other two disputes, giving Hay alley to the city and the part of Mechanic street to the railroad. It is likely that th# railroad will appeal from the result. Asked what would be the next move by the city. City Attorney Herbert Boggs, who looked after the city's in terests in the suit, replied that the only thing that was certain was that the city would not send the sheriff down to remove the railroad com pany. "Not at least for a few days," he added. The value of the land recovered cannot accurately be stated. The railroad avenue strip is 744 feet long by 27 feet wide. Hay alley running parralel with Market street from this part of Railroad avenue to Ailing street a distance of 150 feet is ten feet w:de. Judgment for the recovered prop erty will be entered in the Supreme Court in Trenton In a few days.
