New equipment at Washington Gas & Electric's plant at East 15th & River Street. A large shovel attached to pulleys and wires is seen hung from a rotating spar to the middle, right in the photograph. A railroad freight car loaded with ground material is seen on the left on a track running through the yard. A large storage tank is seen at the back of the yard. The buildings in the yard are dwarfed by the spar and storage tank. The rising hillside of Tacoma can be seen in the background on the other side of the City Waterway. Ordered by F.C. Hawks.
