Santa Barbara County Fire Chief William Patterson said the fire that swept out of a canyon late Tuesday and into the city was contained at 720 acres late yesterday af- Moments after the blaze was contained, Santa Barbara Dist. Atty. Stanley Roden told reporters that the fire was not the work of an arsonist, as had earlier been supposed ternon. Early damage estimates exceeded $78 million, he said. Police questioned at length the person who was飞着 the kite, but decided that it was a dummy. Roden said the young man was flying a oxite kite in Sycamore Canyon when the kite was snatched up by a fierce wind and thrown into a 16,000-volt power line. He said the string of the kite caused an electrical shock to the brush immediately below on fire or sent a shower of flammable material to the ground. Gov. Edmund Brown Jr., declared a state of emergency and ordered 120 National Guard troops to help the estimated 500 firemen battling the flames. A layer of soot and smoke入 the sky yesterday over the city of 75,000 persons, 100 The fire, spurred by hot, dry winds that gusted to between 40 and 60 miles an hour, burned to within 13 blocks of downtown, with roads with fleeing residents and sightseers. Just before dawn, the winds shifted and then died, giving firemen and their chemical-laden helicopters their first real chance to halt the spread of the fire. "We feel very comfortable with it as it stands right now," Fire Chief Paterson said. "We have a very solid foundation." spokesman, said. "We're still in an extreme fire emergency. Those winds should be shifting back toward town, and it all depends on much we can knock down." But Dennis Orbus, a U.S. Forest Service Another worry for fire fighters was the low pressure in city water pumps, caused in part by the thousands of gallons of water poured on their houses to try to save them.

Clark said he would like to see an expansion of the present bus system to run down major traffic corridors such as 23rd, 45th and Sixth streets on a regular schedule. The advantages of this expansion would be two-fold, he said. First, there would be bus service for Lindell students who, at present, have no job.
