Newly-elected Mayor A.L. "Slim" Rasmussen shares a plaque with an unidentified woman; there is a large metal key mounted on the wooden plaque with a description beneath, "Tacoma All America All Electric City." Rasmussen defeated 3-term mayor Harold Tollefson in the November general elections. At that time he was a machinist-inspector at the Northern Pacific Railroad roundhouse and had served 22 years in the state legislature.
