ILLINOIS AMERICANS STILL NOT AROUSED TO HIGHWAY TOLL S t o c k i n s u r a n c e c o m p a n i e s alone suffered net underwriting losses of more than $200,000,0 )0 on their automobile liability ir surance business f r o m 1940 through 1951, Thomas O. Carlson, actuary of the National Bureau of Casualty Underwriters, declared her^ today. Addressing a meeting of insur > ance agents the National Bureau actuary said that the net underwriting losses suffered by the stock companies on auto mobile liability coverages for the' single year 1951 are estimated at more than $100,000,000, making that year the most adverse me ever experienced for automobile liability insurance by the stock companies. The basic reason for the' present situation of a continuously increasing uptrend in automobile;, liability loss costs. Mr. Carlson pointed out, lies in the apathy of the people of this country toward the entire problem of automobile accident costs and the more underlying problem of the automo* bile as an instrument of death, bodily injury and property destruction. "A great deal has been said in recent years about the apathy of the people in general terms," the actuarr stated. "We have oroved as a nation that when aroused lo action there is nothing that we cannot ascomplish. The difficulty lies in the arousing. The newspapers are full of articles calling attention to the slaughter on the highways, but people still look upon traffic regulations in the same light in which they looked upon the Volstead amendment not so many years ago. as an infringement of personal liberties that each individual should deal with on his own initiative," Ticklers By George ROAD BIDS The state Division of Highway* has just announced apparent low bids on 63 road projects in 41 counties.
