Premiums urc not sufficient to meet the increased cost of accidents, increased costs of automobiles, repairs and parts. HOW COULD THEY DO IT?

The most important advance made in years is the Safety Responsibility Law. The Insurance Companies know that this Law will take time to become fully effective and arc prepared to give it a fair trial and every support.
