Mayors Study Fire Insurance Rates For Equalization
A committee of Mobile mayors and city officials will study fire insurance rate equalization. Appointed by Harry T. Hartwell, the Mobile city commissioner and Alabama Mayors president, the group may seek a state fire insurance commission with rate fixing powers. Hartwell argues southern states like Louisiana show how rate control could lower costs despite reduced hazard after a stronger fire department. The study could push for a state board and a referendum on hiring a full-time secretary.
