j. j. Backus, superintendent of build

cisco last Aevening and will go over the
entire burned district inspecting the
buildings that stood the test of the
quake and the fire.
81 believe from all newspaper reports
we have had" said Superintendent
Backus, chat steel structures stood the
test of shake and fire splendidly. 1t
appears to me that steel buildings of
eight to ten stories are the proper size
for new Frisco and Los Angeles.
"The earthquake will not operate to
the serious injury of Los Angeles. In
fact L do not believe the disaster will
have any i'll effect whatever on this
city or Southern California. We have
been issuing the usual number of build
ing permits daily from the office, and
l know of several large store and office
buildings to be erected the present sea-
son to provide for the increased busi-
ness of the community.
LOS Angeles has been expanding
steadily, and she will continue to grow
now with greater rapidity. This is to
be a great metropolitan Of the most
important commercial centers in the
great west"
Report of an Architect
Architect Octavius Morgan, who made
an extensive tour of the burned section
is quoted as Saying:
"The whole of the brick buildings in
San Francisco are destroyed and the
fireproof buildings greatly damaged.
The fire and earthquake demonstrated
the value of full skeleton steel construc-
tion. All buildings of this class remain
ing intact the principal damage being
done to the facings, plastering and sur
face ornamentation. Concrete as a
fireproofing material has stood the test,
the showing was even better than that
Of hollow tile. In all cases where con-
crete floors and arches were used they
appeared to be in perfect condition. All
granite and other stone facing of walls
were greatly damaged by the fire and
in many cases the terro Gotta had fallen
off.
"The city hall was the greatest suf-
ferer by the earthquake, the brick walls
having been shaken down, as were also
the cast iron columns.
"The effect of the earthquake was
more apparent on the made ground than
