commissioners today in regular ses
sion, two vacancies, one by resigna
tion and one by expiration of term,

equalizers were instructed to begin
their duties by May 15 or as soon

GREAT RAILWAY
SAFETY RECORD
That railways are safe, and con
stantly growing safer, is the asser
tion of President W. A. Winburn of
the Central of Georgia Railway in
an interesting statement just issued
from his office in Savannah. Mr.
W’inburn proves his contention by
quoting facts and figures, and says
that twenty-nine millions of passen
gers have been handled by the Cen
tral of Georgia since a passenger
riding in a coach has been fatally in
jured. The last fatality of this na
ture was more thSn five years ago.
The year 1920 was a record one
for heavy traffic, yet the number of
fatalities on the railroads was the
smallest in 22 years. Traffic in 1921
was not so heavy, and figures just
issued by the Interstate Commerce
Commission show a decrease of 14
per cent in the number of fatalities
for the previous year. Mr. Winburn
attributes the fine record of the rail
ways in large part to the fact that
emlpoyes have been trained to give
safety precedence over a’.l other

The average newspaper reader will
perhaps be surprised to learn that
there are nearly as many persons
drowned accidentally in the United
States in a year as are fatally injur

for fatalities included automobile

to tresspassers, for neither of which
the railways are responsible, but

Mr. Winburn says that the hand
ling of a heavier business with *
smaller number of fatalities is a ba
rometer of railway efficiency, and
pledges the renewed effort of the
Central of Georgia toward rendering
to the public a transportation service
of safety and satisfaction, in which
