Miller's Sunoco & Servicenter Insurance Increase Asked The North Carolina Automobile Rate Administrative Office re quested a 7.9 per cent increase in the overall rate level for private passenger automobile liability in surance. Paul L. Mize. general manager of the rate office, asked the North Carolina Department of Insurance to approve the increase in the rate office's annual filing. State law requires the Rate office to submit an annual filing to the Department of Insurance on or before July 1. According to the filing, the following adjustments were indi cated: A reduction of 8.1 per cent in bodily injury insurance, an increase of 3b.9 per cent in property damage insurance and a reduction of 14.7 per cent in medical payments insurance, a type of insurance which motorists are not required to purchase. In a motion submitted to the Department of Insurance two weeks ago. the rate office asked that the current filing supercede the 1975 filing in which a 15.9 per cent increase in the overall rate level was requested. Mize said the reason for the motion is that the new filing is based on later figures and the rate office feels it is not in the public interest to conduct lengthy public hearings and possi ble court litigation on data that is no longer relevant. Mize said that if the current filing is approved by the Depart ment of Insurance, the full amount of the increase requested last year will not be needed. "If the 1975 filing had been approved," he said, "the rate office would now be seeking a reduction in the overall rate level for automobile liability insurance." However, the rate office pointed out that it" the 7.9 per cent increase requested is materially delayed, the rate level needs will increase in the months ahead. Rates for private passenger auto mobile liability insurance have not increased in North Carolina since 1973 when a 7,4 per cent rate level increase was placed in effect. That increase was based on a filing which was submitted July 1. I9"1!. and which was contested in court and delayed by Federal price regulations more than two years. In the current tiling, the rate office again asked the Department of insurance to approve rate dif ferentials based on territories. Rates based on the loss experi ence in the various territories would be more equitable to motorists, said Mize. "To whatever extent insureds in higher loss ratio areas pay less than their proportionate share of the automobile liability insurance premiums, other in sureds must pay more, and favora ble consideration should be given to the establishment of rate differen tials by territory that will begin to recognize the experience differ ences that clearly exist." Mize noted that automobile lia bility insurance rates vary by territory in nearly every other state in the nation. "Loss experience differences b\ territory in North Carolina will continue and may be magnified as urban areas increase in size and population," he said. The rate office filing included a report to the insurance commis sioner which shows that the loss experience from policies which were placed in the assigned risk plan and which are now placed in the North Carolina Reinsurance Facility is much higher than the loss experience from policies which arc voluntarih accepted in com panics.

Mot.'j \ chicles reports that the figure. lot the first part o! an. comparable to those for More Local Families In Upper Brackets Because most Hoke County residents arc earning more than they did in other years, and because more women arc working and bringing home paychecks these days. man\ local families have moved into higher income brackets. To the extent that the added cash helps them to cope with the never-ending rise in the cost of living, it is a good tiling. To the extent that it puts them into more-costl\ tax brackets it is bad. Some local families, whose earn ings had previously been below SK.(XX). ha\c graduated to the SI0.000 and over level. Their former spots have been taken over, in the profession, by those who had been receiving less than $8,000. Just where they stand, currently, is brought out in a copyrighted report issued b\ Sales Manage ment. It details, for every section of the country, the percentage of families that tall within each income bracket. In Hoke Counts, it shows. 51.3 percent of the local households had disposable incomes in the past year, after payment of their personal taxes, of SN.IXX) or more. This was a greater proportion than was found in many parts of the country. The purpose of the survey was to gain a better understanding of each community's purchasing power than was revealed solely through its average income figure. It shows whether there are a small number ol' high-income families making up tor a large number with small incomes or whether earnings are more equally distributed. The breakdown figures tor Hoke County show that l~.l percent of the families had after-tax incomes of $5,000 to $8,000 in the past year, that 10.8 percent were in the $8.(XX) toSlO.OOO bracket. 23.3 percent ;it the S10.000 to $15,000 level and that 17.2 percent had incomes above $15,000. The remaining families had $5,000 or less left after taxes. Because the survey takes into account only cash income, it does not do full justice to farm communities, where income-in kind and lower living costs are important factors, it is noted. Although incomes have been on the rise for most Americans. s?? have living expenses. Nationally, there was a net loss of nearly the percent in buying power last \car. Call us for protection.
