a* a reminder to citizens that
trssnsndous toil is taken by auto
rrsihiT in Orange. We will print
the number of accidents, the
number of death*, the injuries
and damage as they mount
through the months of 19*0. So
far, the city has had nine acci-
dents, four Injuries, no deaths,
but *2,3*3 damage to cars, and
(juite often the damage is conser-
vatively estimated. You might
say "Well, why don't the police
stop the accidents." thit the an-
swer amounts to "There aren't
enough police to do it." There
are about 23 policemen on the
force, and just a little over half
of them have time to investigate
accidents, or roughly, one traffic
policeman for every 3.000 people
in the city. And that traffic offi-
cer also has to investigate family
squabbles, take in drunks, and
whal-have-you. But the budget
is set. The police department gets
so much money and no more. It
isn’t e matter of allocating more
to that department, necessarily,
because other departments are
operating “tight as a drum" be-
cause of low taxable values, too
If half the money lost by traffic
accident damages during last year
(about *32,000) could have been
placed on hiring additional traffic
officers, the amount of damage
could ban e been reduced to al-
most nothing. And when damage
disappears, so do injuries and
