Georgia Traffic
Deaths Heading
For 1,000 Total
. i The way things look now, Geor
rigia’s traffic death tool likely will
reach the 1,000 by the year's end
{and may even go higher. That’s
;!the conclusion indicated in the
> latest consolidated statistics of the
I j Georgia Department of Public
11 Safety’s • Accident Reporting Divi
, I sion.
; The score at the end of the first
week of December read: 947 dead.
| This was an increase of 20 fata-
I lities, or two per cent, over the
927 deaths recorded in the corre
sponding period last year.
Deaths recorded during the first
seven days of December totaled
;23 compared with 19 in the same
। period a year ago, an increase of
i four, or 21 per cent.
Here’s the 1960 scoreboard for
I the first eleven months compared
; with 1959: there were 924 traffic
j deaths compared with 908, an in
; crease of 16 or two per cent. The
, 12-month total in 1959 was 995.
Rural area deaths increased by
1 29, or four per cent, the compara
i live totals being 731 and 702. Ur
: ban area deaths dropped from 206
: to 193, a decrease of 13 or 6 per
’ cent. There were 162 pedestrians
i killed throughout the state com
j pared with 167 a year ago, a de-
I cline of five, or three per cent.
■While this picture hardly can
; be described as anything but dis
mal, there is another factor that
: must be taken into account. Dur
ing the first 11 months of this
year between 75,000 and 80,000
more motor vehicles traveled near
ly one-half billion more miles over
Georgia roads than a year ago.
As a result, Georgia’s death
rate, which is based on the num
ber of persons killed to each 100
million miles traveled dropped
from 6.3 to 5.96 in the 11-month '
period, a decrease of one per cent.
“No matter how you look at
it, there are still far too many 1
people being killed in traffic acci- 1
dents,” observed Col. Wiliam P. 1
Trotter, state safety director. 1
"We in the Public Safety Depart- 1
ment are doing everything 1
humanly possible with the man- 1
power we have to avert tragedy <
Thursday, December 22, 1960
on the highways. The rest is
squarely up to the individual
drivers themselves. They cause
accidents, but they also can pre
vent them.”
City and County
Get Ga. Power
Tax Payments
Checks bringing the amount of
the Georgia Power Company’s
property tax payments to $6,121,-
734 are being presented this week
to municipal and county govern
ment officials, according to W. R.
Thompson, local manager.
Mr. Thompson reported the
amount compares with a total of
$5,683,400 paid by the company for
its 1959 property taxes.
■Of this sum, $3,047,142 goes into
general county funds, $2,056,598
to school districts, $970,658 to
cities and towns, and $47,335 to
Georgia and adjoining states.
Earlier in the year, municipal
partnership tax payments totaling
$2,292,797 were paid by’ the com
pany to the 392 cities, towns and
communities in which the firm's
partnership franchise agreement
was in effect. Under this agree
ment, the company pays each mu
nicipality in which it operates
three per cent of its gross revenue
from the sale of electricity for
residential and commercial use.
These municipal partnership tax
payments were in addition to pro
perty tax payments.
In February 1960, the City of
Pembroke was paid $1,483.87; on
December 16, 1960, the city was
paid $175.73. On December 16,
1960, Bryan County was paid $2,-
286.50.
The Georgia Power Company
official pointed out that more than
20 per cent of the company’s total
revenue goes to pay taxes, includ
ing federal and state income taxes,
municipal partnership taxes and
others.
