Fire rate cut fight pushed by South Texas Chamber
Confidence that the state board of insurance commissioners will act favorably on lower fire insurance rates in South Texas was voiced by Fey Leeman, James A. Tarley, and Jesse Carter as they pressed the plea in Austin. The campaign seeks a blanket state rate with lower South Texas premiums due to better fire control records, which could cut rates by about 20 percent in San Antonio and nearby towns, potentially saving roughly 300,000 dollars every five years in premiums.
