Scott Asks Inquiry Into Auto Rates
Lt. Gov. Bob Scott will
ask the next General As
sembly to re • examine
the Financial Responsibil
ity Act and to “turn up
the heat” on the causes of
high«urutomobiie liability
insurance rates in North
Carolina.
“I am concerned about
this,” Scott told newsmen.
“I think our General As
sembly, which has express
ed its concern in the past,
should turn up the heat on
every element involved.
There should be a full
scale, fact - finding probe
timed at bringing under
public scrutiny all the
causes of our high insur
ance rates, and a thorough
review of the entire Finan
cial Responsibility Act.”
Scott suggested North
Carolina could take the
lead in seeking ways to
halt spiraling rates.
He said the complex
problem “involves not only
rising prices of automo
biles and automobile parts,
but our accident rate and
the costs of settling claims,
including the amount of
litigation this requires.
“Highway safety is deep-

Scott said a “blue rib
bon commission” should
conduct a probe to seek
the underlying causes of
high liability rates.
He said the commission
should be equipped with a
knowledgeable staff which
can and will look at the
books of insurance com
panies and garages, which
can and will work long
and hard not only to pin
point the causes but to do
something about them.
“It should come up with
recommendations it is will,
ing to fight for and which
I will fight for,” Scott said,
“to make our insurance
costs lower.”

Cogswell had taken up
the saxophone and had
become very unpopular in
the apartment house. He
was riding down the ele
vator one morning and met
another tenant. “Tell me
honestly,” he said to the
neighbor, “does my prac
ticing make you nervous?”
“Well, it used to, when
I first heard the other
tenants complaining about
it,” the neighbor replied,
“but now I don’t care
what happens to you.”
