Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Haynes Foundation funds. Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A large section of the aqueduct's pipe is viewed close-up as it enters frame from the left and stretches back towards center. Atop the pipe, a few workers stands. The man standing furthest down the pipe swings a mallet. A wooden ladder is propped up against the right side of the pipe. At right, workers stand clustered in groups alongside a makeshift wooden track. It stretches up a large, rock-strewn hillside. The hillside occupies the background and extends beyond the frame. Possibly related to a similar one of workers repairing an aqueduct pipe captioned, “A Million People Praise Their Labor In the picture above is shown how reconstruction is being hurried in the No Name Canyon Aqueduct conduit, scene of the first of two recent dynamite explosions. Below is a close-up of the conduit, showing the extent of the explosion and the crews at the repairs. [Photographs by George R. Watson, Times staff correspondent],” Los Angeles Times, 31 May 1927: A12 This photograph is possibly related to a different photograph of the same event that appears with the article, “Aqueduct situation tense as investigators for city find unexploded case of dynamite: WATER GUARDS IN SECRET RIDE no-name canyon now alive with repair crews water soon fill flow into blasted siphon auto numbers may lead to arrest of outlaws,” Los Angeles Times, 31 May 1927: A12 Text from negative sleeve: LOS ANGELES AQUEDUCT [handwritten:] Los Angeles Aqueduct
