Bentley Reassures Georgians On Fire Insurance Rates I COLUMBUS, GA.—Georgia fire j insurance policyholders can be re assured that they will not suffer sharply increased insurance rates because of “staggering riot losses” j across the nation, Comptroller Gen ! eral James L. Bentley said here I Thursday. “Georgia policyholders will not be in the position of subsidizing riots in other states through high er insurance premiums,” Bentley declared. Bentley, state insurance commis sioner since 1963, said that his office has received inquiries ask ing if the Detroit riot and other disturbances will mean higher in surance rates in Georgia. In a speech to the Columbus Jaycees, Bentley noted that insur ance rates are based generally up on losses within each state. “Insurance rates in Georgia are adjusted on the basis of experi ence within the state. Further, there are adjustments within any given state depending on specific experience in a particular section or often particular municipality,” Bentle ysaid. Although Georgians will not face higher insurance rates because of riot losses, Bentley said, riot damage itself has usually been co vered by insurance and paid by the affected insurance companies.
