Mr. Jackson is a member of the Santa Barbara Park board and President of the Rotary club in the stricken city and has been actively en- gaged in relief work since the earth- quake. The letter reads: "Just as a matter, of resting I will try and set down a few lines to you, or, if I have time, more than a few of the events of the last two days, though it seems more like two weeks. You recall that we all sleep outdoors on our porches. Monday morning I looked at my watch at 6:40 and de- fixed so that some of the light falls on my keyboard. Another strenuous day, but now some of the population will sleep inside as we have had no shakes worthy of the name since about 7 o'clock this morning. Form Safety Board "This morning we formed a board of Public Safety of 10 men, and being one of the 10, I have been busy for a change. Also as park commissioner [ have been seeing that the people who are living in the parks are taken care of. It does seem as though there are an awful lot of helpless critters around.

Last night we got some electricity in the main street and will have more tonight. Before any light is turned 'on in any buildings a thorough inspection is necessary. Before the gas is turned on every meter in the cty (some under piles of debris) must be closed and then oil of pepper- mint will be forced through tke mains in order to detect any leaks. We. hope to have gas in a week. Fortunately our main water supply over the mountains is not injured and we had water in our fire mains three hours after the quake and we are fortunate in that we have only had two fires and those small ones. Everyone has responded with help. Los Angeles sent three fire companies with apparatus and more than 100 uni- formed officers. The army fliers came in from San Diego very soon looking for orders, as all our wires were down. We called out our Naval Reserve and the Legion for guard duty.
