Photograph of North Central Business District storm drain construction, June 1937. In the foreground at right, several mounds of dirt can be seen extending into the background. At center, a large ditch sectioned off by wooden planks is visible. To the left of the ditch, a row of concrete pipe sections can be seen. A group of men stand between the row of pipe sections and the ditch at center. A large machine is visible at the center of the group.
