Description
Photograph of a view of a trench excavation by a W.P.A. force for the Slauson Avenue Storm Drain outlet, looking east from Monier Lane, December 26, 1935. The deep trench runs from the foreground at right into the distance at left. The sides are sloped and are divided into several tiers. Hundreds of men can be seen standing on the sides of the trench in long lines, apparently bringing dirt from the bottom to the top. Utility poles can be seen running parallel to the trench in the distance at left.
