Pamphlet published by the Harbor Commission on the construction of an underground motorway beneath the Ferry Building, designed to alleviate traffic and congestion in that busy section of San Francisco. The work includes a history and description of the Ferry Building and the harbor area, as well as information on San Francisco's prominence in the shipping industry. An illustration shows the tunnel running beneath the street, with a cross section and diagram. Work began in December, 1923. We locate a handful of copies in OCLC, almost entirely in California libraries.
