Managers Say Rate Increase Is Imperative in Atlanta
In Atlanta, several insurance executives voiced support for a 2 percent rate increase announced by The Constitution to shore up fire coverage. Capt Edward J Gay of Philadelphia Underwriters argued rates had fallen below profitable levels due to prejudice and regulation, while General Agent Thomas Egleston of Hartford Fire cited costly losses and rising risks, urging a calculated rise to protect indemnity for the public. Other managers including W F Patillo of Hamburg Bremen and Prescott of Queen echoed the need, noting years of losses and mounting pressures on urban fire departments. Life insurers plan a Washington’s Birthday dinner to discuss industry issues.
