Ground breaking of the U.S. Oil and Refining plant on the Tacoma Tideflats. Senators Warren G. Magnuson and Henry M. Jackson flank Dr. Ernest Lyder, president of the oil company.

The plant, costing ten million dollars, would be built on a 120-acre site, parts of which were used for duck hunting and swimming. ALBUM 4.
