Scope and content
A power shovel is used by general contractors Coluccio & Frasca to remove the asphaltic concrete laid seventeen years ago on Pacific Ave. In one day, the shovel was able to rip up and clear more than a block of paving, from 7th to 8th streets, on the east side. The old streetcar tracks were being removed and Pacific Ave., from 7th to 17th, repaved. Old City Hall in the background. (T. Times, 6/8/1939, p. 3).
