Gas blast suit filed over 1963 Linn County explosion
A cross-petition filed in Linn district court by Cedar Rapids plumber Charles Robovsky seeks 50 percent of any judgment in the Webbys case against Donald E. Treka and Leo F. Robovsky. Robovsky alleges Trekas caused the explosion at 1029 Tenth Street SE on Aug. 2, 1963, during attempted repairs after he found a gas leak. The Robovskys also faced a separate suit by the Webbys on March 31, 1964, for 7174.99 for damages to their house rented by Leo F. Treka, with further litigation arising from gas line work and alleged tampering.
