Floresville Gains 15 Percent Fire Credit Starting March 1 1935
Floresville will receive a 15 percent good fire record credit from the Texas Insurance Department effective March 1 1935, lowering fire insurance premiums for property within the city. The credit reflects a past loss ratio of .158 for 1932 1933 and 1934, and follows a 15 percent bad credit in 1929. Civic leaders credit the city council fire department and volunteers for the improved record and urge continued fire prevention. The Wilson County Home Demonstration Clubs will sponsor a canning demonstration March 4 at 2 p.m. in Floresville, with similar event in Stockdale March 5.
