The view of Cape Town, looking in a south-easterly direction, is another of the series taken by The Argus photographer from the top of recently completed 300ft. chimney at the Dock-Road power station. In the centre of the picture are the railway motor transport sheds and marshalling yards, and to the right of them monument station, the goods yards and part of the main station. The Grand Boulevard, which is planned as the main road link with the southern suburbs, will join Adderley Street at the extreme left of the picture, and where the fun fair appears in the photograph, the 1,000,000 Van Riebeeck Hotel will be built.
