1947-04-16 2006 nol Four men in suits stand in a row in front of a window. The two men on the right each hold a corner of a check, probably for disaster relief. The man second from the left is J. Curtis Trahan, mayor of Texas City; third from the left appears to be Carl Nessler, formerly mayor. On the right behind the men are horizontal or Venetian window blinds which have been partly drawn up and are in disorder and bent, possibly from blast damage. 1 photographic print : b&w ; 5 x 7 in.
