Scope and content
Although smaller land slides have continued throughout the day in the Salmon Beach area, geologists and city officials have ruled this area safe. Salmon Beach lost a large section of their cliff, as a result of the earthquake earlier this week. As the earth slid into the Narrows, the water returning to shore destroyed many docks and boats with its tidal wave effect; no homes were destroyed. View of trees that slid into the Tacoma Narrows after the Salmon Beach land slide (T.N.T., 4/17/49, p. 1).
