MAY CANCEL AUTO
INSURANCE POLICIES
IN CITY OF ARDM0RE

Several insurance men OF the city
are alleged TO be considering dscon-
tinuing all automobile insurance bus
theft and fire in this locality has
become so great that they are not
willing TO carry the risks further
One prominent insurance man stated
this morning that he was going to
cut out that branch OF his business,
and gave as his reason that a stolen
car was rarely recovered. and that
the welfare OF the business.
Auto thieves have flourished in
this locality" he said. and have
rarely heard of one being caught,
whether il is the fault OF the officers
or not, ! am not prepared TO say, but
the fact remains that a thief can
seem to get away with most any kind
Of a car. and never be heard Of again.
"The matter OF reward for a sto.
len car is about the first question
propounded by headquarters when a
theft is reported, and unless the re-
ward is equal to the value OF the car,
the owner seems to be out Of luck.
am not charging any officer with dere-
liction Of duty but there is something
wrong in the system that needs a dras
tic remedy.
1T is going to be hard for n good
citizen TO get auto insurance in Ard
more on account OF the many crooks
that manage to get by with it. but the
citizens cannot blame a company for
declining to do business where the
chances are stacked against them to
20 with"
Another representative Of a large
company said. THE officers seem &c
be so busy trying to run down boot
logger, or someone for stealing a goat
or a shoat, that they have no time tC
attend TO stlch trifling matter as the
theft Of a valuable car. l for one an
going 10 be pretty sure Of my mar
