Fire insurance probe deepens in Billings after unsatisfactory replies
City aldermen continue a probe into why fire insurance remains unavailable for uptown East Side businesses. State Fire Marshal Penttila reported 1969 fires in Silver Bow County as highly suspicious, with 144 unknown causes among 516 total, while city losses reached about 500000 dollars, most insured. A second inquiry to J O Leary on zoning effects was deemed evasive and the council will redirect questions. Per capita poultry and egg consumption data are also noted in the report.
