The vote wan taken without pub

a considerable extent. A few, who
declared that the mere fact that
most of the cities In the United

owner admitted In all ft'Tioiirtnew
that he does back his car Into his1

General reasons advanced In fa-

part centered arouml the idea of
safety, due to the fnct that driv
ers are more careful when back

the fact that tourists coming ftiru

by the present unusual parking
system In vogue here. It wns def

Santa Barbara, Cal., June 29. Four persons are known
to have been killed nnd from tOO to 300 were injured in the
earthquake that shook this city ut 6:45 a. m. this morning,
damaging practically all structures in the city and wrecking
several of the largest buildings.
Largest Building Collapses
The San Marcos building, the largest business structure
in the city, completely collapsed
length. Tlie Arlington hotel and

tho hotel.
The other three persons killed were found in the wreckage
of business buildings on Stale street. They had not been
identified at 11 a. m.
All the brick buildings were demolished this morning
including the Arlington hotel by the earthquake which swept
the state and it seems to have centered its ferocity on this
city. Water mains and river reservoirs were broken and
the cjty was partly flooded.
Two fires started in the city but so far little damage had
been reported done by these.
Big Loss of Life Feared
It is feared that there may be considerable loss of life,
particularly in the ruins of the Arlington hotel, one of whose
walls collapsed like an egg shell.
The main street of the city upheaved and buckled under
the trcmblor and as the water mains parted geysers shot up
through the pavement.
Accompanying the quake were tremendous waves which
rushed in from the bay flooding the lowlands.
