View towards the Broadway Tunnel and Fort Moore Hill from the intersection of Spring Street from the intersection with Sunset Blvd. (now Cesar Chavez Avenue). At the base of the hill a group of people gather around Myers & Co. On a platform cordoned off with a stars and stripes fabric the group of men includes Mayor Frank L.
