Hemet, and Inglewood following the earthquakes In those cities," Newton said, "I believe that .much of the damage can be ascribed to poor construction work. Existing building ordinances are sound in the main, but the work Ib not sufficiently supervised and inspected while lt is In progress." The advantage of this inspection, Newton asserted, has been demonstrated on buildings which his firm constructed in the-earthquake zone, and which remained unscathed. Brick Churrh Stands "One of our large brick churches at Downey came through without a crack, while a one story brick store across the street collapsed. A 15- room school which we built at Inglewood was undamaged, while. the postoffice building in the same neighborhood ls in a serious condition. At Wilmington, one of our churches which has a 150-foot tower is ln perfect condition, although the shock was very severe ln that district." To Start Study Brickwork on most of the buildings which collapsed. Newton said, was Insufficiently reinforced, and laid up with insufficient mortar. "In the event that the government specifies brick for Santa Monica federal building, we will see to it that It is reinforced throughout and properly constructed. We will have the work under continuous supervision from tha time it ls begun until the contract la completed." Newton reported that his office expected to receive the government's "program of requirements'' for the Santa Monica building within the next week, and said preliminary studies for the structure would be started at once upon receipt of these Instructions.

The advantage of this inspection, Newton asserted, has been demonstrated on buildings which his firm constructed in the-earthquake zone, and which remained unscathed. Brick Churrh Stands "One of our large brick churches at Downey came through without a crack, while a one story brick store across the street collapsed. A 15- room school which we built at Inglewood was undamaged, while. the postoffice building in the same neighborhood ls in a serious condition.

We will have the work under continuous supervision from tha time it ls begun until the contract la completed." Newton reported that his office expected to receive the government's "program of requirements'' for the Santa Monica building within the next week, and said preliminary studies for the structure would be started at once upon receipt of these Instructions.
