"During June, less than 5 per cent: of the vehicles involved in accidents defective; 90 per cent, of the acci- dents happened wher the weather Was clear, ead 95 per cent. were reported as occurring on dry roads; over 39 per cent. took place during daylight hours, Only human failure can ac: count for these misfortunes, and only the drivers and pedestrians of this Province can prevent these tragedies. "The usual seasonal increase in the sumber of accidents: brought a total of 749 reports ruding the month--a new monthly high for the year,. The number of persons injured increased by 5 to 732, while property damage amounted to $67,111, or almost $14,- 000 less. than in June, 1932. "There were 11 pedestrians, 1 bi- cyclist, 1 motorcyclist, 7 motor car drivers and 10 passengers killed. "While it has been mentioned that mechanical defects cause only a small percentage of number qf accidents, it should be noted that there were 16 misadventures -ascribed to tire blow- out. At low speeds a tire may blow out without causing very much trou- ble, but when a vehicle is travelling rapidly, the result of such a blow-out is likely to be a tragedy. "With the renewed popularity of the bicycle, there has followed, as has been noted * in previous months, a steady increase in the number of ac- cidents involving these vehicles.
