New Fire Station Plan Could Cut Carbondale Insurance
Fire Chief Carl Crain estimated a second fire station in Carbondale would save property owners 8 to 10 dollars yearly on fire insurance. The area outlined by the National Board of Fire Underwriters could raise Carbondale’s rating from seventh to fifth class if staffing and equipment meet requirements. The proposed site spans Illinois or University avenues between Cherry and Oak. Mayor John I. Wright said a sufficient rate decrease might support a spring bond issue for the station.
