WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22,1951 THE WINONA REPUBLICAN-HERALD. WINONA, MINNESOTA Hawaii Island Suffers Quake, Loss of Water Henelulu --UH-- The heaviest earthquake ever recorded en the volcano island of Hawaii cost the Kona district most of its treasured water stores--with two months of normal drought ahead. Property damage estimated officially at between $750,000 and $1,006,000, but the water loss was the most critical. The quake jarred the largest of the Hawaiian islands in early morning darkness Tuesday. It wrecked or damaged more than 200 wooden water storage tanks-20 of them on one cattle ranch.

Each of 200 families along a 30-mile stretch of the Kona coast, on the west slope of Mauna Loa volcano, had at least one tank for storing drinking and household water. The Kona coast is the driest section of the islands. The tremor was centered deep below the undersea slope of massive Mauna Loa. The volcano rises 13,680 feet above sea level and slants 18,000 feet under water to the ocean floor. There was no evidence of any impending eruption by Mauna Loa, one of the world's most active volcanoes.

It spilled molten lava into the ses a little more than a yasr ago. Police Sergeant Emery Kunitomo at Kailua on the Kona coast said fire department and Hawaii county trucks from Hilo, across the island, were hauling emergency water supplies to Kona coast residents. The water hauling must continue daily. The Kona coast normally receives no rain until well into October. Kunitomo said there had been little rain through July and August.

The hauled water must be boiled for drinking purposes. Coffee farmers, with their crop at harvest ripeness, rushed to lumber yards for materials to rebuild their water tanks. The coffee beans must be washed before they are dried and packed. Cattle ranchers also began to reconstruct tanks. Kunitomo gave this police estimate of damages: To 200 houses and furnishings, to highways, cracked and Band Concert Tonight Numbers to be played by the direction of Harold Edstrom at the today are as "The Southerner," march "Aladdin," overture "Argentina," overture "Steel King." march "Marco Polo," overture "Strike Up the Band" "Second Connecticut" "The Student Prince" "Southern Cross," overture "Pavanne" "Boomerang," march "Star Spangled Banner" Winona Municipal band under the Lake park bandshell at 8:15 p.
