from early morning attaching

American, one District and one

At the height Of the rush
hour, because of the early
arrival, firemen pulled their
ladder trucks into position
across from each other on the
Avenue just below the District
Building.
They rolled their 100-foot
aerial ladders to a height of
80 feet, then swung them over
the street until their tips
touched, at 45-degree angles.
Stage crews from Loew's
Theaters arrived with ban
ners, bunting and pictures to
attach to the ladders. The
bunting was wrapped around
each ladder, up one and down
the other.

The workmen from National

time. They had the stands
left over from the visit Of

But they still had to set up

The street cleaners were out
