I have been asked to reply. The fatalities from 1913 to 1923 are as follow:

(1) Dalston Junction to Stamford Hill16
(2) Stamford Hill to West Green Road8
(3) Broad Lane to Edmonton Boundary19
The averages are approximately:
Per Mile.
First section12.8
Second section5.3
Third sectionnearly 10
In the second section one accident was attributed to the condition of the tramway track belonging to the Metropolitan Electric Tramways Company as lessee.

A census of traffic has not been taken to cover the several sections, but sections 1 and 3 are of heavy density, the other of medium density.
