Movement caused by the earth
quake was sufficiently strong TO
sound the chimes, four massive
bells which formerly were struck

how the vibration could have been
strong enough to sound the chimes.
They rang, all right" he said.
''But 1t doesn't seem possible. The
hammers are not in contact with
the bells, and 1t must have taken
some jar to move them" The

Offices Damaged

In the private offices of Hansen
q Rowland in the Washington
building, the quake caused minor
damage to the walls, chipping off
small amounts Of plaster. Gener-
ally. the plaster was loosened and
could be flaked off easily. There
were a few cracks high on the
walls. but at the base there was
no damage.
The walls of the corridors were
slightly damaged, especially those
next to the stairway. A portion Of
the wall on the fourth floor will
be replastered. A rectangular crack
10 feet long was caused by the
tremor.
In other downtown buildings,
damage also was slight. In most
cases. flakes Of plaster fell In

and local confusion in the Milton
and Spanaway district made up
most of Sunday nights trouble for
the telephone company. District
Manager Leo Conlin said.
Principal difficulty locally, was
such a flood OF calls that 1t was
several minutes before the force
could be built up to full size in all
offices shortly after midnight,
Conlin reported.
Maintenance men were
working on the two suburban
lines where there still was
some trouble Monday morn
ing. IL was not known just
when the Aberdeen line would
be cleared.

Little Quake
Insurance

Insurance companies reported
that their agents started getting
calls within a few minutes after
midnight from residents wanting
inspection. No approximation of
the damage was available.
l. c. Rowland. secretary Of the
insurance firm Of Hansen a. Row.
land. Inc. said he did not think
the losses sustained by insurance
companies would be high.
"very little earthquake insur-
ance Is written In this part of the
country" he said. Most policies
are written with the five per cent
deductibility clause. OF course. we
haven't heard from the outlying
parts. but II damage throughout
the city Is no greater than to our
own offices ! doubt If II will reach
the deductible amount"
