Urry Urges North Amarillo Fire Station Plan
Curry presented a city report proposing a new fire station on the north side with twenty additions and equipment. The plan would reduce fire insurance rates from 7 to about 6.3 percent, saving about $4,000 annually and lowering costs to residents. Estimated costs include $26,500 yearly payroll for twenty new men and $822,000 for equipment, payable over eight years. The city commission deferred action for one week.
