Above: A map showing upcoming sewer projects in San Francisco, from The San Francisco Examiner, November 15, 1933, p. 14. It's difficult to trace the construction of these sewer projects, but the September 2, 1934 edition of the Examiner shows PWA money being authorized for "immediate" payment for the sewers on Fifteenth Street, Third Street, Sixteenth Street, Visitacion Valley, Lake Street, Brannan Street, Yosemite Avenue, and Sixth Street. Other Examiner articles show work being performed both before (in anticipation of approval) and after the PWA payments (e.g., the July 13, August 14, and November 28, 1934 editions).
