Functions of a City (Highlights) - 1950s

This hard-to-find print from Progressive documents the various functions of a city from fire control and policing, to water refinement and zoning challenges. Features drowning victim, old jails, theft, fingerprinting, play grounds and children, parks, swimming pools, traffic flow. Lots of great cityscape and street shots (pedestrians and cars).

Note: This clip was taken directly from the original 16mm print and has been edited to a mere fraction of the film's original length.
