U. 5. Traffic Toll Tops Estimate

CHICAGO (AP)-Highway acci- dents killed 445 persons in the United Status, the Labs: Day eckend. V lent deaths in all manner of accidents reached at least 836.

The traffic toll far exceeded a pre-holiday estimate of 420 deaths for the threeday period. but it was no record. The high mark for a Labor Day weekend was 461. set in 1951.

The dcadllncss of this year's holiday. safety experts said. was attrlbuiablc in pa rt to the weather. The warm and fair weather over most of the country during much of the holiday brought out motorists in near-rco ord numbers.

Ned H. Dearhorn. president of the National Safety Council. said 45,000,000 vch' ' are estimated to have been on the streets and highways d u ring the period Speed and drinking. he saiii have been prime accident causes in cnrller Labor Day tolls.

The balmy weather. too. drew crowds in lakes. streams and coastal waters for swimming and boating. Ninety-five persons were drowncd.

It was the weather, too. which brought out thousands of amateur aviators and killed at least is In nine crashes.

Atlantic Provinces Given

OTTAWA (CF) - The Atlantic pmvlnces Tuesday won an even break with the rest of Canada over the sic of telegraph rate in creases proposed by the railway companies.

After a fight by Atlantic gover ments. the board of transport commissioners ruled in a one - day hearing that the extent of rate increases for the seaboard provinces will be roughly those of the rest of Canada.

Previously. the railways had sought increases that would have been about three times as large for the seaboard area as for the remainder of Canada.

The increases approved by the board Tuesday represented a low- ering from these.

The final board - approved in- creases - which now will run about 13 per cent across the country-may go into effect on 2!) days' notice by the railway tele graph companies.

Unofficial estimates indicated that the seaboard provinces saved perhaps 3500.000 a year in the sharp fight they put up during the last month to hold down the boosts for that area.

As originally proposed by th railways. their new system of charging straight airline mileage on telegrams would have grossed them eventually 82.260300 a year in new money.

Traffic Deaths Reached 52

By THE CANADIAN PRESS

Traffic accidents took the heap- iest toll of lives during the three- day Labor Day holiday weekend

.4.

Of 02 persons killed in various accidents, a Canadian Press sur- vey from 6 p.m.locsl time Fri- day to midnight Monday showed that 52 were traffic fatalities. Twcnty - three pe r s o us were drowned during that period.

The total killed on Canadian highways, however. was less than the 60 predicted by the Canadian Highway Safety Conference Last year 48 persons died on the high- ways of the total of 79 who lost their lives by accidental means Quebec had 32 fatalities. 20 of them traffic victims Twelve per- sons were drowned.

Ontario's 21 fatalities included

14 traffic deaths. four drownlngs and three deaths attributed to other causes. Saskatchewan reported 10 fatal- itles-four traffic. four drownings and two other accidental deaths B ri t i s h Columbia had seven deaths. two in traffic accidents two by drowning and three by other causes.

Alberta's five fatalities were all due to traffic mishaps. Manito- ba's lone death was also attri- buted to a traffic accident.

New Brunswick had two accl- dental deaths. both traffic fatall- ties Nova Scotla had three traf- fic deaths. Newfoundland's two were one traffic death and one due to other causes.

Only Prince Edward Island was able to get through the weekend without an accidental death.

The reductions will go virtually all to the Maritimes. according to experts. without anv increases in other areas to make up this.

The compromise w as formu- lated before Tuesday's one - day board hearing. at a session be- tween the railways and the Mari- times transportation in Montreal.

The original plan of the rail- ways-in instituting a brand new system of tolls covering all Can- ada-would have made the aver- age increase for the Maritime: some 36 per cent against arou-id I2 per cent for the remainder of

the country. This was basically because Atlantic tolls were much below the general level. for what. were described as ”hirtoricaI' reasons."

Under the compromise plan ap proved by the board. there vi-ll be these effects:

I. By and large. tolls will be based on airline mileage between points rather than the haphazard system in effect for about 50 years.

2. For Canada generally. the average increase will be around 13 per cent. on the basis of tele- graph revenue.

3. This will be 13.2 for the Ca- nadian National asd 11.4 for the Canadian Pacific.

4. The average increase for the Atlantic provinces will be 11.2 for the CN and 12.04 for the CP.
