City debates insuring fire houses amid budget clash
The Board of Apportionment and Taxation refused a $1,000 insurance premium, though the fire commissioners included it in the budget. They ask the Common Council to decide, arguing uninsured fire houses risk hay and straw storage and unattended structures during fires. Fire insurers blame Mayor Lee for pushing the city to carry its own insurance and claim some Fire Board members doubt his policy.
