Safety Work Cuts Costs Car Insurance -- Official MONTREAL -- Effective traf- fic safety work can heip stem | the rising cost of automobile in- | surance, James Matsen, Presi- | dent of. All-Canada. Insurance Federation, told the Insurance| Institute of Quebec. _ Mr. Matson, quoting from the | Green Book, an annual collec: | tion of automobile insurance | statistics, said that insurance | claims frequency in the prov- | ince of Quebec had dropped by | about 344 per cent over the | past year. | "T feel this is directly attribut- | able to the fine safety work | which Madame _ Kirland-Cas- | grain (Quebec's transportation | minister) has been responsible, for," said Mr. Matson. Mr. Maison said that the Green Book, which is used by most-insurance.companies as a basis fer establishing automo- bile insurance rates, shows that different sections of Canada re- act + differently during any given year. In British Columbia, he point- ed out, the averdge- claim cost increased sharply last year while claim frequency stayed reasonably steady. In Alberta, on the other hand, the average cost of claim went down slight- ly and frequently increased sharply ... up 10 per cent in the province as a whole and 13 per cent in Calgary. In Manitoba, average cost and frequency both increased with Brandon showing a 57. per cent increase in costs . . . the highest increase in Canada. Both claims frequency and |the average cost of claim in- creased in Ontario last year, he said with the highest. increases in. northern and northwestern Ontario and in the southern On- tarie cities of Brantford Niagara Falls. "Niagara Falls was a dying tourist centre five years ago,"' he said, "now. it is booming as never before. In those five years the average accident cost has increased 55 per cent. lt went up 16 per cent in the past year alone." ee | ana i « Es : eet seca or susiel -- = EE IT...
