Insurance Is in American So­
ciety the modern, legal way to
pay “ protection.” The cost and
benefits of property insurance is
determined in large part by the
area of town in which you live or
own a business.
Some areas are defined by in­
surance companies as “ high risk’
areas . House BUI (HB) 1290 is
designed to eliminate the legality
of discriminating in insurance
coverage by location.
In essesence, HB (1290) de­
clares it unlawful to discriminate
in the “ application of insurance
rates for insurance policies, in
the dividends or other benefits
payable...or in any other term s
or conditions,” between pro­
perties “ soley on the basis of
their location” within a given
municipality.
Accordine to one insurance
agent of 13 years experience, in­
surance companies often limit
number of policies any one agent
can write in any given “ high risk ’
area. Or in any other term s or
condition
According to one insurance
agent of 13 years experience, in
surance companies often limit
die nember of policies any one
agent can write in any given ' high
risk” area. Or they may agree
to insure only a given nember of
buildings per block in a “ high
rish” area. This is to protect
the company from having to pay
off too many policies in the case
of a massive fire.
Those companies which always
write policies in “ high risk ”
areas are called “ excessive rat-
areas are called “ excessive
rated companies.’’ This means
their rates are higher than the
rates for comparable coverage
in another area of the city.
What these practices mean is
people living in areas designated
“ high risk ," such as slums or
areas of minority population con­
centration, have to pay more for
their insurance, have to take less
coverage or have to meet higher
standards than other applicants
in other parts of the city. In
some casees, businessmen in
“ high rish ,” areas are finding
it extremely difficult to buy
enough protection.
The passage of HB 1290 would
mean insurance companies could
deny coverage only for legitimate
underwriting reasons, such as the
deteriorated condition of the pro­
perty. They could not deny cover­
age or charge excessively for co­
verage on the basis of neighbor­
hood.
“ Any two dwellings, places of
business or other structures
which are comparable in other
respects,” differing only in geo­
graphical location within a given
city or town, “ shall be deemed
to be risks of essentially the same
hazard.”
This bill has been referred to
the House Urban Affairs Com­
mittee. The chairman is Rep.
A. Elliott. He is also a sponsor
of the bill.

ADULT TUTORING, part of the
PCC Community Education Di­
vision, is in urgent need of at
least 100 new volunteers to teach
175 adults who are waiting for
tutors. The students need help
with reading and arithmetic at all ,
levels from first through eighth
grade and in subjects necessary
to pass the high school equivalen­
cy exam (GED TEST). All Adult
Tutoring tutors are volunteers -
housewives, businessmen, pro­
fessional people, students - train
ed and supervised by the Adult
Tutoring staff. There are no ed­
ucational requirements, and most
volunteers have never taught be­
fore.
There will be a two-session or
ientation and training workshop
for new volunteers. For further
information, call Adult Tutoring
Failing Hall, 224-2135.
