Earthquakes Felt !
In California
LON ANGELES, Mar. 15, (^)—J
Earthquake shocks were felt over
southern and central California
this morning and continued until
midday, caused earth slides and
broke the Los Angeles aqueduct
in Sand Canyon in Owens Valley,
the City Bureau of Water and
jiower reported.
An additional heavy shock was
felt in Los Angeles and San Ber
nardino at 11:20 a.m. There were
no immediate reports of damage.
The bureau reported the shocks
were continuing and causing huge
boulders to roll down the moun
tainside in an area about ten
miles long.
The center of the disturbance,
it added, was apparently in Indian
Wells valley, near the community
of Inyo-Kern, in the high Sierras.
One boulder tore off about twelve
feet of the roof aqueduct and
some five feet of the top sidewall,
releasing about half of the water
flow and spilling hundreds of
thousands of gallons across the
state highway.
