SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH
Editor Carey Williams, Greensboro Herald Journal
There has been criticism of Zack D. Cravey, Insurance Commissioner,
relative to the increases in fire and casualty insurance rates.
You have never seen or heard of the letter from Eugene Cook, Attorney
General, to Mr. Cravey on February 20, 1958, so we will quote from it as
follows: ”1 have received your approval of these increases in the light of
our rate making statutes . . . and find you complied not only with the
spirit but with the actual letter of the law."
Since 1948 the average fire insurance rates have been decreased in
Georgia: 1949, 5 pct.; 1951, 5 pct.; 1953, 13.2 pct.; 1954, 6.3 pct.; 1955
and 1956, 2.4 pct.
The average fire insurance rate in Georgia on January, 1958, was 31.9
per cent less than on January, 1948. With the 15.9 per cent increase of
February I (now held in abeyance) the rates are still 16 per cent less than
on January I, 1948.
The cost of living, the price of utilities and other services have in
creased from January 1948 to January 1958. For instance, railroad, trolley
and bus fares, and truck, telephone (Southern Bell), electric power (Georgia
Power Company), gas and freight rates are up anywhere from II to 100%.
Cost of Insurance: Protected Areas 16% less. Cost of Insurance. Farm
dwellings, 27 cents per hundred less. Cost of automobile casualty insur
ance, now less, counting the recent increase. Automobile Liability: Average
family car, 5, 10 and 5 basis: Atlanta area, 1935, $46.00; 1953, $45.00;
1958, $43.00. Down $3.00 from 1935. Augusta area. 1953, $38.00. 1958
rates $37.00
We picked up the Sunday paper. On the front page was the price:
20 cents per copy. In 1948 the Sunday issue sold for 15 cents. That is a
33 1/3% increase.
After all, we make our own insurance rates.
