Illinois Press Association Pushes Insurance Reform Potts Leads Probe
The Illinois Press Association resolves to audit state fire insurance practices with Rufus M. Potts, the insurance superintendent, pledging to uncover profits and high rates. Findings show 4 percent profit on capital, average $1.06 premium, $26 million in Illinois premiums, and potential state insurance at cost cutting rates by half. If reform fails, a governor appointed data commission may regulate fire hazards and rates. The Pointer appeals for $1 annual subscriptions to sustain local coverage and advertising value.
