TOWN WITHOUT
ALLEYSPLANNED
Dreams of Fire-Razed Ore
gon Community Nearing
Realization.
By the Associated Press.
Dreams of a small fire-razed com
munity in Oregon for an ideal town
without unsightly alleys or traffic haz
ards appeared today to be nearing
realization.
Representatives of Bandon-by-the
Sea sought Federal funds for rebuild
ing—streamlined—the lumber town
which forest fire wiped out overnight
on September 26. 1936.
As the Senate considered a disaster
loan act amendment which would
make Reconstruction Finance Corp.
loans available for 1936 as well as 1937
disasters, Bandon enthusiasts renewed
their efforts. The House has passed
the amendment.
The Utopian plan was adopted
unanimously last month by Bandon’s
stranded population, now living in
tents and temporary buildings on sites
of their former homes.
Owners Offer Property.
Gilbert E. Gable of Port Oxford,
Oreg., rehabilitation commissioner for
Bandon, told R. F. C. officials that 86
per cent of tha town's property has
been offered by owners to allow build
ing operation* according to plans
dawn by H. C. Freeman, Portland,
Oreg., city planner, with State Plan
ning Board aid.
He said residents had $600,000 re
ceived from insurance companies and
were ready to rebuild their homes,
stores and schools by plan if a Federal
loan could be obtained for streets and
public buildings.
"There is a primary pay roll of 500
persons in Bandon," Gable said. "They
are employed in the undestroyed lum
ber mill at the outskirts and in the
iron foundry and cheese factory imme
diately rebuilt. The city can not offer
security for the approximately $500,000
loan it seeks. It can offer ability to
pay."
Boulevard 200 Feet Wide.
The new Bandon-by-the-Sea, ac
cording to plan, provides:
No straight streets except the axis, a
200-foot boulevard extending a mile to
the sea. Others are curved.
Residential blocks a quarter of a
mile long without intersections.
No alleys, but all power service
(telephone poles, lines, etc.) at rear
on property lines.
Four U-shaped business areas for
15 units each, built scientifically with
harmonizing architecture at a loca
tion between residential and indus
trial sections. Each store to have
windows and entrances at front and
rear, with parking areas at rear.
A triangular arrangement of build
ings designed to intrigue travelers
passing on the highway left a quarter
of a mile distant in order to prevent
traffic dangers.
Experiment in Safety.
"It is an experiment in traffic
safety,” said Gable. “It will be pos
sible for a child to go to church,
school, the library, movies or down
town without crossing any main
traveled traffic arteries.
"It is an experiment in mass build
ing. Both business buildings and
apartments will be built according
to the plan. Quarter-mile strips also
are reserved on two sides of the city
—the ocean bounds one side—to pre
vent shacks and hazards which might
mean another fire.”
Bandon, a town of 1,500. is 300 miles
south of Portland. The flames de
stroyed 500 homes, 250 business places,
library, grade school, city hall and
records, and the bank.
The fire which razed the town is
expected to assist its revival. Gable
said that in its sweep down the coast
flames topped trees and killed millions
of feet of standing timber which must
be cut and marketed within the next
few years.
