ASTORIA CELEBRATES RISE FROM ASHES OF 1922
STORIA, the oldeat city of the
Oregon country, on July 3, 4
and 6 of this year will cele- '
brate her recovery from one of th«
most extensive fire disasters ever
experienced by any community in
the United States.
On the morning of December 8,
19Î2, a fire originating in the heart
of the etty4« business district swept
over 26 blocks and entailed a loss of
more than 111,000.000. Fortunately,
owing to th# fact that th« initial
•pread of the flames was slow, no
lives were lost, out hundreds were
left without work and shelter
To add to the calamity, the streets
in the very center of the business
district, which were elevated on a
heavily Umbered framework ar.d
covered with asphaltic paving, were (
burned, and. with some seven blocks
of the street railway line, were
dropped to the sands some 12 feet
below street level.
Faced by apparently insurmount- (
able difficulties and handicapped by
ths fact that the insurance cover«“
averaged only about 32 per cent oi .
the total loss, the merchants and
busine1’" men °f the community de- ,
termined to rebuild.
A
>5,000.000 Is Kxaended.
To date approximately $5,0OO,OOC
has been expended in construction
of fireproof business buildings in
the burned area, and thousands of
dollars more are entailed In con­
