THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €. JUNE 9. 1 Carolina State Highway Commission, should have a cheering effect on that host of States which seem to be mak- ing little headway in combating mud, high-cost car operation, excess road up- | keep and so on. Since 1921 North Carolina has spent a considerable sum of monhey on high- way improvement, but so have many other States which certainly have less to show for it.

Too many automobile owners have received severe financial shocks after an accident, severer, perhaps, than the bumps, when they discovered what lability they would have to pay, ac- cording to a leading authority on auto- mobile liability insurance. Carrying lability insurance on one’s | automobile is important, but it is equally important to the assured that he carry enough of it. and there is only one safe method of determining | that amount, he declares. “Make an | inventory of personal holdings and in- come, and take out insurance accord- ingly, because you are liable for any damage above the amount specified in the policy, and if necessary, salary and | everything you own may be attached in order to effect a settlement. Too many | automobile owners base the limit of | their insurance on the price of their car, when there is no relationship what- ever between its value and the amount | of lability insurance to be carried. Points to Be Considered. “Is the company financially stable? “Is it & national plant with agents all | over the country, or is it a local organ- ization? “Are you likely to be inconvenienced if you injure a person in some town hundreds of miles from home and t local sheriff holds your car pending set- tlement? Or would you prefer to find an agent in the immediate vicinity who, after satisfying himself as to your rre- | dentials, has the authority to release your automobile, and allow you to go on vour way, leaving him to take care of the details of your accident? “Has the company a reputation for prompt action, or is it inclined to delay? “All of these points should be asces tained before you insure. Selection of a company is entirely a matter of ind vidual choice, but it is wise to be in- formed to what extent there may be a choice, Rates Based on Facts. “Do not be blinded by bargain insur- ce, since rates are based on facts after a compilation of territorial haz- | ards and are pretty much the same in all standard companies. The insuring agreement in a public liability contract | agrees to pay all sums for which the | assured shall become liable and to de- fend the assured in all suits. Specifi- | cally, this means that the insurance company will investigate all cases, pay court costs and settle claims, up to and including the amount named in the | policy. 1f, however, appearances indi- | cate “that’ ‘he assured will be called way traffic does not justify the motor tourist in forgetting fo give hand sig- | months when the tourist movement sup- | Dest the average s acquire.” will be the Paris-Deauville road, much | upon to settle for considerably more plements the tide of local traffic over of which is like & city boulevard.
