Damage In Millions
By HERBERT D. WILH01T and DICK BIESER
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (JF)A major earthquake jarred
this city Friday, killing two persons, injuring 32 and shatter
ing buildings.
Another sharp jolt rocked Los Angeles early Saturday,
but was not even felt here.
Friday's tremblor was the second big one in 32 days to
hit Bakersfield.
The 10-second quake cascaded masonry and glass Into
the street. Some highways buckled. Walls fell, roofs col
lapsed and parapets crumbled.
Dust ciouds boiled up, blotting out the sun. Damage is
Eyewitness
Makes Report
By JIM DAY
Managuig Editor
BAKERSFIELD. Calif. W I was
in the precise center of Bakersfield
when the earthquake struck today.
That's where it hit the hardest.
And, despite the seismograph re
ports, as far as we of this city are
concerned, it was a much more
severe ouake than that of July 2L
I remember first ot all the u-
tomobues bouncing up and down
on the streets, the people bouncing
as they walked along, canopies and
signs on stores shaking, cornices
and windows shattering and falling
and in the background a rumble,
low and deadly.
I knew what it was immediately
and looked at my watch, it lasted
just 10 seconds.
Ours is a busy city and there
were literally thousands of people
In the downtown area.
Automobile traffic stopped al
most immediately. People left
their' cars to stand in the street
and look around them.
I saw no hysteria. I beard no
screams.
People streamed from the side
walks and from stores and other
buUdlngs and raced to the center
of the street. There, they stopped
and looked around them and
waited.
Bricks were falling and cornices
from buildings and broken glass
was spraying from shattered store
.windows.
I don't think I saw anybody hit
by faUIng debris buried or In
jured. Not at that moment.
A few seconds later, when the
temblor had stopped and the
rumbling was an echo. I saw in
jured people stagger into the
street.
Bv then the dust had begun to
rise. It was a great pall of gray
dust in itself a terrifying thing.
This had been a briebt. sunny
day and this dust rose and blotted
out the sun and sky.
Bv then I could hear the distant
sirens of ambulances. And the po
lice were at work by that time,
clearing the streets of automobiles
and the jam of people, so that
the ambulances could come
through.
Panic Averted
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. IPi A
possible panic in a movie theater
was averted during yesterday's
quake when a Boy Scout brought
calm out of chaos.
When the building began to
shake, people started running for
the exits. Bob Shaffer, 13, re
mained by his seat.
"Take it easy!" he yelled. The
patrons, many of them adults,
calmed down. The theater emptied
in an orderly manner. The building
was not damaged.
Arms And Legs
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. Iifl Arms
nnd legs In grotesque poses jutted
from debris in the show window of
Lerner's dress shop following yes
terday's quake.
One woman shopper had been
killed there and rescuers feared
others might be trapped. .
What appeared to be severed
limbs turned out to be parts of
dress dummies dismembered by
laiung masonry.
Clock Wrecked
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. Iif Time
iinauy ran out yesterday for the
city s 4o-year.oid clock tower, a
Historic miotown landmark.
The earthquake toppled one ot
the four faces of the clock Into the
street. Hundreds 01 pounds of hea
vy mechanical workings fell. One
wall of the tower cracked.
The July 2 earthquake bad
stopped the clock.

within.
The highest combined mlllag
rate In the county la charged on
property In the Old Orohard Manor
development, located on the east
side of Washburn way, Just a
couple of blocks of It.
That property was voted Into th
city a year or so ago, but before
that time and while the property
was still vacant, not built upon
it was a part of the Suburban
Rural Fire District when that dls.
Vict was created and went Into
debt to get started. So It Is still
liable for fire district taxes. The
property in Old Orchard Manor
will be assessed at a 104.1 com-'
blned rate, which Includes Indivi
dual rales for the county cltv,
city elementary schools, KUHEl
and the fir district.
A mill in one-tenth of a cent, so
a mlllage rate of 84.5, as here In
Klamath Falls, means a tax of
89.45 cents per 8100 of assessed
valuation. A house assessed at 12.
000. therefore, would be taxed In
Klamath Falls at 6189
expected to run into ine muttons
of dollars.
On the other hand, Friday's
shock In Los Angeles, 12S miles
south of here, apparently caused
no damage, although It was strong
enough to awaken hundreds of res
idents. The shock started at 3:10
a.m., PDT.
While Bakersfield's business dis
tricts were heavily damaged Fri
day, residential sections, for the
most part, escaoed unscathed.
Police patrolled blocked off down
town sections through the night to
prevent loosing or scores damaged

Brick and metal mmir.. iflnni.j
