FEWER ACCIDENTS.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Congratulations upon the results achieved by the motor cycle clubs in accident prevention during the past 12 months were expressed to-day by the Minister of Transport, the Hon. R. Semple, who said that, apart from July and August, every month of the last statistical year had shown a reduction in motor cycle accidents. In 12 months motor cycle casualties had been reduced to 667 from 875. Motor cycle clubs had been the major factor in bringing about this reduction, added the Minister. They had co-oper-ated in every road safety proposal brought forward by the Transport Department and had assisted through thetr members in educating many young motor cyclists in the principles of safe riding.
