of the damage sustained by frame
residences and 100 was iratber
exceptional. 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

In 1917, says Elliott, citing wea
