they are so arranged in their relation
to other streets that alternative routes
are provided near the center, so thai
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
a 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 shoot and the streets are
of ample width to care for present
and all future needs. Under this sys-
tenn the greatest street area has been
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

the streets are carefully adjusted to

The story of Longview is told
by Robert Alexander Long for
whom the city was named. "In 1922
the officers of the Long-Bell 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 LongBell Douglas Fir lum-
Der manufacturing plants at the point
where the Cowlltz river empties into
the mighty Columbia. The new mills
were to become the largest lumber
mills In the world; and to operate
such tremendous enterprise, thou
sands of men would be required. But
the site of Longview was only farm
land-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 a lumber manufac-
turing town. Longview should be
more than that-Longview had poten-
tial 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 |
men famous in this line of work were
called into consultation-city planners
and builders, landscape architects. en-
gineers and real estate men
