Pecos Fire Losses Alarm Prompt Action and Insurance Rate Debate
A local plea urges Pecos residents to study fire loss figures from 1920 to 1922 reported to the State Fire Insurance Commission. It shows total premiums of 33 981.08 and losses paid of 16 257.40 net loss, arguing for stronger fire protection and noting a legislative bill penalizing towns with poor fire records. The correspondence ends with a call for community action and a motto promising coverage.
