Auto Insurance
Costs to Climb
Automotive liability insurance
in Refugio county will cost $7
to $19 more per year if the State
Insurance Board approves as
expected rates proposed last
week in Austin.
For what is considered aver-
age coverage of $10,000 insur-
ance for bodily injury for one
person, $20,000 for all passeng-
ers and $5,000 property dam-
age, liability insurance for Re-
fugio motorists would be sub-
ject to these increases:
Class 1-A, liability insurance
for a family car not used for
driving to work, up from $42
to $49. Class 1-B, for a family
car used to get to work, also
would be included in this same
mto hike.
Class 2-A, for liability prem-
ium where a male driver under
age 25 uses the family car, up
from $67 to $80.
Class 2-C, if the male driver
under 25 owns the car, up from
$111 to $128.
Class 1-AF, farmer’s liability
insurance, up from $31 to $39.
Class 2-AF, if the farmer’s
under-25 son drives the car, up
from $54 to $65.
Class 2-CF, if the farmer’s
son owns the car, up from $89
to $108.
New rates are expected to
take effect with policies writ-
ten August 1 or thereafter.
While the liability insurance
rate hikes proposed were the
stiffest—a 20.7 increase for the
average Texas car owner—rate
boosts averaging 13.4 per cent
were asked for the whole range
of auto coverage, including col-
lision, comprehensive, medical
payments and fire and theft
policies for private and com-
mercial vehicles.
Here are the proposed aver-
age changes in private pas-
senger car premiums:
Collision — Up 20.8 per cent
(premiums decreased .5 per
cent last year).
Comprehensive —• Down 17.4
per cent for $50 deductible cov-
erage (rate fell 15.5 per cent
last year).
Medical payments—Up 3.6 per
cent (rates rose 8.7 per cent
last year).
Insurance industry spokesmen
told the board auto insurance
premiums should be increased
because of growing auto repair
and hospitalization costs, a;
well as a rising number of ac
cidents.

Cattle prices during the last
two months have averaged well
above those of the same per-
iod a year ago, reveals John
G. McHaney, Extension econo-
mist, Texas A&M University.
“With few exceptions, range
and pasture grasses are in good
condition in Texas, and graz-
ing prospects through the early
part of the summer are excel-
lent,’’ he explains. “Range feed
is generally showing good
growth over the western range
area of the United States.”
This is favorable from a price
standpoint because it permits
producers to hold feeder cattle
on the range longer. This pro-
duces orderly marketing.
Although feeder cattle prices
remained low through Febru-
ary, they increased in March
and April. The recent rise of
feeder cattle prices can be at-
tributed to the increase of fed
cattle prices, strong demand

and a smaller seasonal supply.
McHaney said that feeder cat-
tle prices likely would stay
above year-earlier levels
through the rest of the second
quarter and into the summer
of 1965.
During the summer period,
it is anticipated that cattle feed-
ers will continue to place large
numbers of cattle on feed. At
the same time, good grazing
conditions will enable ranchers
to hold more feeder cattle on
the ranges. This will restrict
available supplies of feedlot re-
placements and will tend to
strengthen feeder cattle prices.
A further increase of feeder
cattle prices would probably
curtail the slaughter of non-fed
animals as feedlot operators
would compete strongly with
packers for these cattle, the
economist explains.
Feeder cattle prices in the
fall and early winter of 1965
will depend largely upon range
conditions at that time, Mc-
Haney adds.
He points out that fed cattle
prices were steady through the
winter, averaging $2 to $3 above
those recorded a year earlier.
In late April, they were about $4
above prices in the early spring
of last year.
These prices may decline
slightly about mid-year 1965,
but in the third quarter, July,
August and September, they are
expected to average about the
same as those of a year earlier.
