Photograph caption dated October 1, 1956 reads, "Giant lawn mower - Groundskeeper cuts immense stretch of lawn at North Hollywood Park with tractor-drawn lawn mower. Maintenance crews make up nearly one-half of 172 park department employes [sic] in Valley. No 'keep of grass' signs are posted in parks because department has found special grass mixture that takes extra heavy pounding. Main problems are litter, writing on walls."; See images #00116350 through #00116352 for all photos in this series.
