SAN FRANCSICO-OAKLAND BAY BRIDGE. Looking over the west bay between San Francisco and Yerba Buena Island at twins suspension bridges, each 4,630 feet long, joined end to end and having at their junction a common anchorage consisting of a great concrete monolith topped by a steel shroud, which rises 282 feet above water and rest on bedrock 220 feet above low tide. The lower deck carries two tracks for interurban electric cars and three lanes for heavy trucks, and the upper deck carries a 59 foot highway for six lanes of automobiles.
The back of the card features a letter from Mrs. Hall, detailing a trip to see a mountain lion and noting the price of its hide.
