C. J. Mitchell last week and show little change from the pre- vious year. There were three more acc- idents as the total was recorded at 202, although fatalities show- ed a decline from three to two. Cpl Mitchell noted that the accident totals for weekends was down in 1968, but had taken an increase during the first four days of the week. He said this was probably dtie to the fact the local officers con- ducted an extensive patrol system during weekends in 1968. Property damage in the past year's crashes amounted to $122, 709. while the total number of injuries was 129. Both these fig- ures were up slightly. An indication of the increased patrol work of the local officers is the fact they laid 857 charges this year, compared with 596 in centennial year. However, Cpl. Mitchell not- ed that criminal driving charges - impaired, drunk and dangerous driving - were down almost 30 percent. Although he explained there was obviously need for improve- ment in the driving practices of drivers in the area, he noted the statistics for the past two years ere better than some pre- vious years. In 1966, for instance, 10 per- sons were killed in the district covered by the local detachment officers and there were 229 acc- idents. About People You Know...
