View from street of men working on a Works Progress Administration project. A group of men are standing and holding a beam upright in a trench, with a chain attached to it suspended from a crane parked behind. One man operates the crane, and another man sits in the driver's seat of truck, a six-wheeler, carrying the crane. Other men are working with a hose on the left. A sign on the back of the truck reads, in part: "District 3 Chicago, Penalty for Theft or Destruction, Fine Not to Exceed 10,000 on Imprisonment Not to Exceed 10 Yrs."
