View north to Muni Washington & Mason line Cable Car #527, labeled as a Sacramento & Clay St. car to remind voters of that line, which had been eliminated in 1942.

On front left, campaign sign urging a yes vote on Proposition 10 (which passed overwhelmingly and preserved all existing Municipal Railway cable car lines), reading 'Vote Yes on Prop. 10 Nov. 4 and SAVE THE CABLES.
