A conservative appraisal by insurance underwriters placed the total property loss here at $30,000,000. Only $1,000,000 of this was protected by insurance. There was no looting and no pilfering. A milk man driving away from the Gundaloupe Catholic church with empty bottles led to a remark that a man had been seen “removing vessels from the church,” and this was distorted into a report of looting. Chief of Police Ties Glandcham told the United Press there had not been a single instance of looting or disorder. Regular police, aided by a company of forty sailors from U. S. S. McCawley and volunteer militiamen and members of the American Legion did picket duty around the destroyed area today, but their presence was to prevent interference with the work of wrecking, which was under way at daybreak. Aid for the work of reconstruction came from all parts of the United Slates. San Francisco, which suffered a similar fate followed by a disastrous fire lb years ago. sent $50,000 for immediate aid. Other California cities contributed. Rich residents helped swell the quake fund. William qibbs MrJAdoo gave $12,000. Max Fleischniann, “yeast king," who three weeks ago gave $200,000 for a new harbor, added $5,000. Wrecking crews and gangs of workers attacked the debris scattered by the heavier quakes of Monday and Tuesday morning and it was estimated that State street, running through the heart of the business section, will be thrown open to traffic in seven days. Only a few residences were destroyed in the quakes, and so the number of persons listed as homeless was small The pitched tents in fields or on the lawns, where even tiiose whose houses remained intact preferred to sleep. The old mission which was an attraction to tourists, was damaged but Father Augustine announced it will be restored at a cost of $750,000. The Arlington hotql, known to tourists for years, has been condemned - to make way for a modern
