of these streets radiate In various oil
rections from the business center, YET
they are so arranged In their relation
to other streets that alternative routes
are provided near the center, 80 that
congestion Of traffic Is not forced tc
the center.
The arrangement of the principal
thoroughfares tends to fix the perma-
nent center Of the city with the re
suit that Longview will expand around
fixed pivot and the city should not
grow and values shift first in one d.
rection, then in another, as has been
SO characteristic Of many American
cities In the business district the
blocks are short and the streets are
and all future needs. Under this sys-
tenn the greatest street area has beer
concentrated in that section where
traffic will be heavy. In the residen-
tial districts, where lighter traffic con-
ditions do not warrant such a large
street area, the blocks are much long
er. In the billy sections of the town
the streets are carefully adjusted to
the topography of the land, thus pre-
serving the unusually fine scenery and
home sites in these areas
Alleys have been provided at the
rear Of most of the lots In both the
business and residential areas Elec-
trio power and telephone lines will be
arranged in these alleys wherever pos
sible, and In easements along rear
lines where there are no alleys, thus
clearing most of the streets Of I'M
slightly poles and allowing the IN
disturbed growth Of street trees
A six-acre park has been provided
at the center of the radiating thor
oughfares, which is the focal point of
vistas from various directions. Around
this park will be grouped the various
public and municipal buildings of a
monumental character. Another park
OF one hundred acres has been pro-
vided in the form of crescent-shaped
parkway, from 500 to 500 feet wide
and a mile and a half long, surround
ing the inner city (known as the Plat
of Longview) on the westerly and
southwesterly sides. This park Is
bordered by two boulevards-
On July II, 1923. this wonderfully
located and carefully planned city was
formally dedicated Ten thousand
people came and saw a city In the
making. They witnessed the beginning
of construction of the worlds largest
lumber mills, they saw the beginning
of the Longview dock on the Columbia
river, they saw a new railroad being
built along the west bank of the Cow
litz to Ryderwood. Wash, 80
miles to the north. They saw the
beginning of street grading and the
erection of business houses and homes.
A year later many Of those who at
tended the dedication Of the city re-
turned with thousands of others to
help the new city celebrate its first
birthday and to witness the opening
of the great lumber manufacturing
plants. And those who had seen the
spot a year previous marveled. What
had transpired since their last visit
was a monument to construction speed
with nothing sacrificed to speed In
81 days the Cowlitz river had been
SPAWNED with a steel railroad bridge.

Four days they celebrated the first
birthday Of the city and the opening
Of the large fir lumber manufacturing
plants which would give employment
TO many residents of Longview. The
5000 or more visitors to the new
city were royalty entertained by log
ging sports, a regatta on the Column
bia river, ball games and tennis
matches, fireworks and dances in the
evenings, Wild West rodeo in the
athletic stadium, and long pageant
Of progress parade. They listened to
speeches by noted men from various
walks Of life, among whom were SEN
ators, governors, business men, an ad-
miral of the United States navy and
two sermons on the Sabbath by the
Rev. Billy Sunday, the famous evan
gelist.
And all of the speakers professed q
great faith In the future of Longview
and paid tribute to the founder Of the
city and to the men who worked out
all of the details and intricacies OF

Cowlitz rivers, halfway bt
tween Portland and the ocean. cele
brated its first birthday.
The story Of Longview Is told
by Robert Alexander Long fol
whom the city was named I'm 1922
the officers of the Long-Ben Lumber
company decided to build huge lum-
Der mill In Washington to manufacture
lumber from large timber holdings
which the company had In southwest
ern Washington. After much study
of numbering methods employed In the
Pacific Northwest, after a careful SUE
vey of the territory between Portland
and the sea. 1t was decided to locate
the new Long-Bell Douglas Fir lum
Der manufacturing plants at the point
where the Cowlitz river empties into
the mighty Columbia. The new mills
were to become the largest lumber
mills in the world; and to operate
such a tremendous enterprise, thou
sands Of men would be required. But
the site of Longview was only farm
iand-there was no town-there was
no place to house the thousands OF
men needed to operate this great man
ufacturing plant, town was needed
So town was ordered
after much study Of the location,
the raw materials In close proximity
to Longview, the transportation ia
cilities by water and rail and high
way, 1t was realized that Longview
offered greater possibilities than mere
ly the building of lumber manufac-
turing town Longview should be
more than that-Longview had poten-
tiaI possibilities which in years to
come should make 1t one of the largest
manufacturing towns in the Pacific
Northwest"
To plan the present and future
course of the new industrial city many
called into consultation-city planners
and builders, landscape architects, en-
gineers and real estate men.
These men, in consultation with
a number of others, planned the city
of Longview and laid it out in &C
COTQunCe WIFI ueuHlte ScQeI0e OF
city zoning. Under this plan a GER
tain section of the city along the wa
ter front of the Columbia river was
set aside as a manufacturing district.
other sections of the city were re-
served for the erection of residences,
one for the erection of apartment
houses, another section was set apart
as the retail district of Longview, still
another section was designated for the
building of garages. automobile sales
rooms and accessory stores. This sys-
TEN of city coming will stabilize prop
erty values in Longview, for apart
ment buildings or business houses will
not be permitted to encroach on resi-
Dental districts nor will manufacture
ing plants be permitted TO operate In
the retail district. Under this plan
there will be place for everything
In Longview and everything Will be
kept in its place, thus assuring a city
of stability, beauty and efficiency.
The main streets of Longview are
wide broad thoroughfares and boule-
wards are provided along all of the
principal natural lines Of traffic Some
