Description: Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds.
A group of people gathered around a platform beside a Myers & Co. steam shovel look up towards men on a platform. On the platform, cordoned off with a stars and stripes fabric, Mayor Frank L. Shaw speaks into a microphone as other men on the platform listen.
A different photograph shows the location as Fort Moore Hill near the Broadway Tunnel. A billboard ad for the movie Tarzan and his Mate dates the photograph to 1934. (uclamss_1429_5558)
