Scope and content
On July 7, 1931, photographs of an accident scene in Parkland which had involved a Tacoma Railway & Power Co. streetcar were taken by the Boland photographers. Each photograph was marked with the distance from the railroad track. Photograph #3, shown above, is listed as "33 feet East of the East rail of the Southbound Spanaway track at Parkland." This is believed to have been the June 30th accident involving a vehicle occupied by Jack Miller, age 15, and his father H.F. Miller. The Miller vehicle was going west at the time of the collision with the southbound streetcar. Jack Miller died in the county hospital the following morning and his father was hospitalized with serious injuries. The automobile had been carried down the street for more than 75 feet and was a total wreck. Photograph ordered by Tacoma Railway & Power Co.
