Description
Photograph of storm drain construction by the Department of Public Works, [s.d.]. At center, metal pipe is held at either side of a narrow ditch in which men can be seen working. Above the ditch, wooden tripods are attached to winches, apparently for lowing pipe. Men stand to either side of the ditch, large mounds of dirt at right. Palm trees can be seen lining the street in the left distance.
