Not a Iiouse on our list was damrged more than Its re maining margin o l:aa value so our people are having no trouble in financing repairs." When asked what the lessons of the disaster were, the building and loan man replied: "The first is that frame constru ed buildings, such as constitute probably 90 per cent of our Califor nia detached residences, are Ideal for resisting the shaking and twist ing strains of an earthquake. T-ie type of residence that econom!: con siderations have given us i3 the one we -should have chosen had we given study to the question. Frame (residences do not break up or col lapse and they do not throw mis siles of any kind to the ground, barring the customary chimney or a slate or tile' roof. T-ie danger of Injury inside or outside of them during a quake is almost nil. Our shake came early in the morning when most of our citizens were fn their residences instead of in of fice and commercial and industrial buildings at different construction. That explains the small casualty list. The residences stood up but most of the business structure sustain ed Injuries that would have meant an enormous number 131 fatalities and wraunds if they had been oc cupied. Andther lesson is that If chimneys are retained at all they must be bound up in a unit with the frame of the ihouse and con structed of the best materials. A third Jess.n is that it pays to build well, use plenty of nails and brace thoroughly. As a rule chimneys here were separate from tho struc ture, except us they wore united to it by the wire netting of 6tu.ro bouses where the stucoj also cover ed the chimneys. Houses that were diagonally sheathed, had the jciBts reasonably near togetbor, plenty of braoing, giJJd nailing and other features of what every carpenter and contractor knows as good construc tion suffered little or no Injury. People can live iin such houses in any earthquake zone and be free frc-m Worry. Nothing equals lumber for residences when you are con sidering earthquake riskB, whether la life and limb or lo property." A careful examination ot store and hotel building of frame or ordinary construction, showed that straight wooden structures sustain ed negligible damage. Stuccp build ings stood nearly as well, the stucc; rarely falling, and sometimes not showing any cracks. Stone and btick veneering was usually ripped loff the frame structure, which at nvuys stood up. usually Intact. In the California hiJtel the plaster cm ceilings and partition walls was gen erally uncracked in the toutsule rooms that had their walls of bt.-lek lorn off. In "tho case 3t the stuc co Neal hotel, where the stucco did fall off to a considerable degreo the underpinning was plainly weak nud the general structure not strong enough far the weight and nature of the building, regardless of earth quakes. Nevertheless UhIh building did not collapse, though badly Hhaken. Expert opinion Is that whatever manorial ils used, whether the build ing be large or small, tho struc ture should he a unit.
