"The occurrence of two deaths in

same end, but along different lines.
While the prime purpose here was to

that the plan would help reduce the
number of accidents. 1t has not been

differently. There, under new act
of the legislature, motorists, for in

three classes. Those who have clear
record will pay the lower premiums,
those who have had only minor lapses
will pay slightly higher rate, and
those guilty Of more serious offenses
will be. charged an extremely high

been outlined. How effective it will
be is probematical. The chief diff
