Description: ANSWER: While Sunday's picture in this series was of the looping steel girders of the 6th St. viaduct over the Los Angeles River, today's is of one of the pylon-like concrete towers on the east end of the bridge. And about the only thing that can be said of them is that no other bridge in town has anything like 'em.
KNOW YOUR CITY, NO. 68 -- I you guessed Sunday's picture (No. 66) in this series, this one shouldn't give you trouble. This is no monument, regardless of how the camera sees it. Answers is on Page 26, Part 2.
