of these accidents occurred be
tween the hours of 12 a. m. and
2 a.m. Wednesday and Saturday
nights predominating. Saturday
night, however, had three times
as many accidents as Wednesday.
Only 20 accidents were reported
in the three-year period on nights
other than Wednesday and Sat
urday. Of the people involved in the
accidents 72 percent lived within
Lancaster county. Almost half of
the drivers were under 24 years
of age.
The fact that West "O" street
is used by people going and com
ing from the numerous amuse
ment places along this highway
could account for the above fac
tors. BUT WHETHER this fact could
account for the excessive amount
of drinking along this highway,
the report can not be sure. Fif
teen percent of the drivers in
West "O" .accidents had been
drinking as compared with 4 per
cent for the state. This high rate
would seem to point to the traffic
flowing to and from the amuse
ment places. Two out of the four
fatal accidents involved drunken
drivers.
In summarizing the report of
the safety council, one factor
would seem to be the cause of
