Text on negative sleeve: LA City Hall Dedication
Crowds line up to watch different parts of Los Angeles present at the dedication of the new City Hall at 1st and Spring St. Anaheim was represented by the Chamber of Commerce with a float depicting Aladdin's Lamp. The large lamp, shining with gold leaf was surrounded by young women atop a golden base. Writing on the side of the float announced, "California, Valencia," "Land of Aladdin," and, "Orange Show." A motorcar follows the float with a "Venice" flag. The float is crossing a business with the sign "Dr. R.D.Hubbard Optometrist, Located 7 Years in This Block."
