Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. (left to right) Park Superintendent Gilbert L. Skutt, Park Commission Chairman Mabel V. Socha, and Park Commission Engineer Roy T. Green examine a new earth crack in Elysian Park. The new crack follows a huge landslide in the park which dumped 1,500,000 tons of rock and dirt down the slope of Buena Vista Peak and onto Riverside Drive. Skutt, Socha, and Green are part of a group designated to devise a rehabilitation strategy for the park.
