A committee of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce reports a general 60 to 76 percent rise in fire insurance premiums over six months, with 42 to 46 percent for frame dwellings and 16 percent for metal roofs. The panel argues rates are not justified by local risk, noting substantial profits in prior years and calling for a 10 percent reduction on mercantile and residential properties, while detailing premium and loss figures and arguing against tariff association price practices.
