There are no dates on the negative or negative sleeve. A billboard advertising the film "Tarzan and His Mate" places the events in the photograph in 1934. This was likely taken during the Fort Moore hill excavation in April. Mayor Shaw, sitting on a horse-drawn plow, holds the reins in his hand. An unidentified man sits next to him and a crowd surrounds the path. Los Angeles City Hall can be seen in the background. Text from negative sleeve: [labelled incorrectly] LA City Hall Groundbreaking
