Illinois Governor Sets 25 Percent Highway Accident Cut Goal
Governor Adlai E. Stevenson told a Springfield conference that Illinois traffic crashes cost the public more than double yearly road spending. He aims for a 25 percent reduction in five years to beat the national rate. Illinois recorded 140 highway deaths in April 1949 and 590 fatalities in the first four months of 1950, up 14 percent from 1949. The Public Aid Commission recovered 9,974 from fraud cases and 83,285 from estates of former pensioners in April, while investigating all suspected false relief claims.
