upgrade in the northwest part of

Liquor Fines
People still keep violating the
liquor laws.
Liquor Administrator Coke
Stevenson Jr. reports that his
agents filed 743 cases last month.
There were 738 convictions, with
28 jail terms, for violations,
Fines came to 546,172 during the
month.
The Lubbock district, mainly
dry, was as usual the location
of the largest number of cases
among the 18 enforcement dis-
tricts.
Insurance Up
Recommendations for higher
auto insurance rates have been
made to the State Board of In-
surance, by insurance companies,
and the Board’s own staff.
Losses under current rates
prompt a general statewide in-
crease averaging 8.6 per cent.*
But there are variations.
Farmers and ranchers, who
have chalked up a good non ac-
cident record, will get substan-
tial cuts. They will range from 20
to 30 per cent, in various parts
of the state.
City drivers will face higher
rates for their public liability
insurance. Statistics show that
