James L. Dickey Jr. cites rapid value increases in Atlanta mercantile district as straining local fire insurance capacity. He predicts several new insurers may enter the market next year to meet rising demand and coverage needs for large merchants. Industry peers corroborate the shortage, noting lines in major houses are hard to place and no company takes over certain risk levels. The city’s growing prosperity is driving up coverage requirements and attracting insurer attention.

Insurance Adjustment Bureau Planned in Atlanta
A bureau for general insurance adjustment is likely to be established in Atlanta. Fire insurance men expect a South wide bureau with Georgia and neighboring states’ companies as stockholders. The recent opening of the Underwriters Salvage Company office in Atlanta boosts the plan, which would link with that business. Losses this season in the South have been heavy, and centralizing adjusters could speed settlements and cut costs.
