Iiiiiiidiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim iiiiiiiiiiii^i $500 PRIZE FOR BEST SLOGAN Preliminary to an intensive cam paign to be inaugurated in an effort to bring about a reduction in the number of grade crossing accidents which annually cause thousands of casualties, the American Railway As sociation today announced plans for s nation wide contest, open to the general public, for the most expres sive poster and slogan to be used throughout the nation in connection with the crusade to save lives at railroad crossings. For the first prize, $500 will be paid to the person submitting the best poster with $200 for second prize and $100 for third. In addition, $100 will be paid in cash to the person submitting the best slogan for the campaign. Selection of winners will be made by a special committee composed of persons of national prominence. The personnel of the committee will be announced later. The contest will be conducted un der the auspices of the committee for the Prevention of Highway Crossing Accidents of the American Railway Association. H. Afl Rowe, 90 West street, New York, is chairman of this committee. The contest will close on February 11th at which time all per sons must have their posters in the hands of the committee The campaign to reduce the num ber of grade crossing fatalities is stimulated by the fact that in 1924, it is estimated that not less than 2,500 persons, or 200 a month, will lose their lives at railroad crossings due almost entirely to automobile acci dents, while approximately 6,000 per sons will be injured, or about 500 a month. Another reason for conduct ing an intensive campaign is the fact that during the present year of 1924 it is estimated that there will be about fifteen million automobiles in use, an incrase of approximately twenty per cent over the preceding year. The railrodas are annually doing everything possible to reduce the number of grade'crossings. In order further to protect the lives of au- toists and others at such places new improved safety devices are constant ly being installed. Te eliminaate all grade crossings .however, would not only be a physical but a financial im possibility on the part of the rail carriers. Reports received by the Interstate Commerce Commission show that in 1922 there were 256,362 grade crossings and to do away with these would mean an expenditure of approximately five billion dollars more than the tentative valuation made by the Interstate Commerce Commission of all the railroad prop erties used by the carriers for trans portation purposes. The r&ilroads did in 1922, according to the Com mission, eliminate 706 grade cross ings at an estimated cost of approxi mately $70,000,000.
