Full title:This picture shows Henry Taketa in his temporary office located at 5th and Capital Avenue, Sacramento, California. Mr. Taketa is a graduate of the University of California Law School and was a very prominent attorney in Sacramento before evacuation. He originally went to Tule Lake where he worked in the Legal Department for about six months. While in this capacity he was most helpful to the Center and the Property Offices on the outside. Many problems with reference to the leasing and sale of real properties were handled by Mr. Taketa in a beneficial manner. After leaving Tule Lake he relocated in the East where he worked for different law firms. He relocated back to California several months ago and has been most helpful in the Relocation Program. He has been most helpful with his legal advice to returning evacuees and expects to re-establish himself in his profession immediately. Photographer: Iwasaki, Hikaru Sacramento, California.
