Sometime ago a new system of rating was conceived which is based entirely on the construction of the car and th actual loss experience of tb companies, of course, ea the actual lost experience reflects th construction of tha.car, construction was ths absolute basis of this new rating system. A committee of the National Automobile Underwriters Conference and committee of the automobile manufacturers met and - determined an Imaginary standard car. according to modified car englnearing principle as far as posslbi by th most fir and theft prevention principle. Each car waa then compared standard and, with this Imaginary if, due to it construction.

Tb companies were then oaXled upon to furnish thslr actual loan axpsrtane ch haaard on aach modal of due to each ear and th losa ration for each ear was computed. Ths classification of cars above referred to was than modified by th actual loss experience of th company and th relative position of the varloue cars In ths scale was thus dei termined. Ae it waa pointed out above, th lose experience of th companies depends largely on th construction of th car oar poorly constructed Insured, as as rerards th firs haaard will naturally show, greater loos ratio than ton oar constructed with due regard Thus ths fire prevention principles. of modification of th classification of the car by th lose experience companies merely Intensifies th result of good construction. InIn referring to th revision of surant rates on automobile Hall of th Pacific Nash Motor company, local distributors of Nash passenger ears end truck points out that th effect on th Insnrano rat of various makes of oars has besa quit surprising. On soma of th wall known model th rat haa besa Increased considerably, while on other It he been decreased. This, according to Hall, la the direct result of th care being considered "good risks" by th the Insuring companies, both from liastandpoint of fir haaard aad alad bility of damage by "Joy riders" owing to quality of construction. "Nash owners are congratulating themselves" declares Hall, that of all ears wfthtn one thousand dollar of Its price, ths Nash was given th vwy lowest Insurance rating.
