Litchi is built on my near this fault
Grove. Some day there is going to be a fearful
devastation here of earthquake, fire and death.
It is a crime that the City Engineers do
not examine the buildings who try to talk out
building permits as to where the fault lies
are. Then if the buildings go ahead it is
their fault.
Hillis and Lord are predicting a de-
cided earthquake for the Los Angeles area
within the next few years. Lawson says
Hillis is pessimistic, and further that he
can not present data predict when the
major movement will take place. They come
too irregularly. But Lawson is gathering
the data and plotting it to see what the
nature of the periodicity is. Maybe then
Insurance Companies can then do business
or a far more secure business.
