The ordinance, pending- in commit tee for weeks, has met with objections on the part of owners of prop erty on the thoroughfare who fear the closing of the street will deny them access to their buildings and will unfavorably affect the appraisal value of their holdings in case the railroad company institutes condemnation pro eeedings to acquire the property.

While last Monday's earthquake was toppling hotels and office buildings of Santa Barbara into the street it was ripping great fissures in the Santa Cruz and San Miguel islands just off the coast from the mission city, hurling sections of their rocky coast lines into the sea and revealing old Indian burial places. A report of the tremblor's effect on the practically uninhabited island was brought here yesterday by Capt. Arthur Sanger of the schooner Dreamer, on the vessel's return from anchorage off Santa Cruz Island with a party of archaeologists from the Los Angeles Museum of History, Science and Art. Sanger said the Dreamer was lying off Santa Cruz Island when the shocks began early Monday morning and that waves churned.

up by the quake tossed the vessel about like a piece of kindling, i "Cliffp toppJed into the sea before us," he said, "and we gazed awestruck at what seemed to be the end of the world. From San Miguel Island to the west of us, arose great clouds of dust, indicating that there, too, the cliffs were crashing. "After the shocks had subsided we went ashore and found that fissures opened by the quake had uncovered burial places, the existence of which we had not suspected while exploring other Indian remains on the island. We found five skulls of peculiar conformation and also numerous ornaments and utensils. 8 DEAD IN PICNIC TRAGEDY ST.

"Although the receipts show an in crease of 14.72 per cent over June, 1924," said Mr. New, "it is fair to state that June, 1924. was a very poor month and showed a loss of 1.17 per cent in receipts from June, 1923.
