INTRODUCTORY OF CHAMPAIGN AND URBANA
Champaign-Urbana is one community with a combined population of over 37,000 people, not including non-resident students at the University of Illinois who number over 10,000, located in the heart of the corn belt of Illinois. While this community is composed of two separate political entities it is distinctly one group of people with like environment and like problems in gov- ernment.
Champaign occupies the west area of the community and is separated from Urbana, its sister city, only by the University of Illinois.
The population of Champaign alone is 22.183 according to the school census in 1925.
The figures from 1913 on down to the present date are as follows:
1913
14,684
1914
15,689
1915
16,487
1916

1923
20,112
1924
21.023
1925
22,183
These figures show a rapid but steady growth, which means local prosperity with very few periods of depression in business. Real estate values have had a steady in- crease and without much fluctuation either up or down.
Champaign county is third richest agri- cultural county in the United States. The farm products in 1920, according to the United States bureau of census were valued at $23.000,000. The soil is rich black loam and is very fertile. The chief crop is corn but other crops do well and are raised almost wholly on farms where the acreage is small. The land is level and free of stumps and other obstacles. Consequently all modern implements can be used in cultivation.
Champaign with the commission form of government has four commissioners and a mayor. Four of the five men give their en- tire time to the running of the city's busi- ness. The tax rate is $9.15 which is about 30 cents lower than the average Illinois city according to a survey made by some interested parties at the University of Illi- nois. The community is served by one of the most up-to-date sanitary sewage dis- posal plants in the world.
Land transportation is entirely ade- qnate. We are served by four railroads, three paved state highways and many county paved roads. Champaign is said to be the natural down-state traffic center of Illinois.
The educational facilities in Champaign are very highly developed. The High School had an enrollment in 1924 of 1,014, grade schools 2,570, Parochial schools 357, the University High School, which is operated by the university as a model high school with an enrollment this year of 184, and the University of Illinois with 12,092.
The University occupies 2,361 acres in and around Champaign-Urbana with an additional 21.5 acres at Chicago. The total number of buildings is 79. All buildings were built by the State of Illinois except the Smith Memorial Music Building and the Stadium. The Stadium has cost about $1.700.000 to date and seats 67,300 people. It was built by contributions from alumni, students and friends. There were 21,111 subscriptions to the fund : 9,258 alumni and citizens and 11.853 students.

square miles. Approximate population of 40,000 and an assessed valuation of $12,- 500,000.00.
Purpose of the Sanitary District, to re- lieve overloaded sanitary sewers and pre- vent human filth from polluting resident basements, the Boneyard Branch, Saline Drainage Ditch and Salt Fork Creek. Office

This Sanitary District is example of suc- cessful cooperation between the two munici- palities. The two cities are in fact one community and should be su considered by all residents.
URBANA
When Champaign county was created in 1833, Urbana was founded as its county seat. The county offices were established, the Court House erected and the business of the county has been conducted in Urbana from that time until this. During the days prior to the Civil War, Lincoln was a fre- quent visitor in Urbana and was in at- tendance at court in Urbana in 1856 when the news was sent to him that his name had been presented to the Republican conven- tion of that year as candidate for president. In Urbana he made his second speech in op- position to Senator Douglas and Nebraska Bill. The early associations with Lincoln in Urbana have been memorialized by the construction of the new Urbana-Lincoln hotel and soon will be further memorialized by the unveiling of a full sized statute of the Martyred President now being designed by Lorado Taft.
When the legislature of the state of Illi- nois decided to take advantage of the pro- visions of "The Morill Act" providing land grants for state institutions of higher learning by creating such a university for Illinois. the enterprising citizens of Urbana succeeded in having it permanently located in Urbana. The location of the University in Urbana, established it's character as an educational center. This character has con- tinued and extended, until now Urbana is one of the largest and most famous centers of learning in the country.
The educational facilities in Urbana com- mence with the common schools, of which there are seven, includes two modern high schools and concludes with the University of Illinois, offering instruction in almost every branch of learning. The University campus and adjacent experiment fields con- sists of 1235 acres, with 70 buildings of the most modern character, while the enroll- inent for the year 1925-1926 is 10,000 stu- dents with over 1000 professors and in- structors.
Next to its character as an educational center, Urbana has won fame as a resi- dential city. Perhaps there is no city any- where having a larger per cent of college trained citizens nor with a less per cent of illiterates. The per cent of illiteracy in Urbana is considerably less than one per cent, while 36 per cent of its residents of school age are enrolled in the high schools. Furthermore, fully 85 per cent of the resi- dents of Urbana are home owners. The tenement is practically unknown.
Urbana has fifty miles of paved streets, as shown by the records in the office of the city engineer, out of some sixty-seven miles of streets. All the streets are well lighted by a system of ornamental boulevard light- ing standards. Sanitation is unsurpassed, while the water supply comes from num- bers of deep wells.
Urbana is also a city of parks. While the University campus may be considered one large park, Urbana has a park system which, though young in years, is of un- usual attractiveness. The principal park of the system is Crystal Lake park, situ- ated a few blocks north of the main busi- ness section, comprising some one hundred acres of shrubs, oaks, grass and water made easily accessible by beautiful drives and walks. The clear water of the lake af- fords splendid boating in the summer and skating in the winter, while its pavilion. shelter house, modern play ground for children and tourist camp attract visitors for many miles about. The other parks.
while not so large, are very attractive and afford recreation centers for the neighbor- hoods in which they are located.
In Urbana nineteen churches guide the spiritual welfare of its citizens; the Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls provide recre- ation and training for the children, while the Association of Commerce, the Rotary Club and the various fraternal societies af- ford means for the practice of good-fellow- ship characteristic of Urbana's citizens.
Although Urbana is paramount in its civic interests it is also represented by sound commercial and industrial concerns. No city has more solid financial institu- tions than the banks of Urbana, their ag- gregate deposits reaching several millions of dollars. Its building and loan associa- tions are among the strongest in the coun- ty and have been experiencing the steady, healthy growth for many years. Their combined assets reach into the millions. Practically every branch of retail trade is represented among Urbana's stores, which provide for the wants of the community in a most satisfactory manner. Among the manufacturing enterprises in Urbana, are manufacturers of knock-down bleachers, discuses, javelins and other athletical sup- plies, electrical supplies, chemical supplies, paints. castings, dehorners, cigars, har- ness, ice cream, burial vaults, mausoleums, high powered microscopic lenses, scientific instruments and many others.
In Urbana are located the shops of the Peoria and Eastern railway, a division of the New York Central Lines, which em- ploy the largest number of men in any sin- gle industry in the city.
Urbana possesses very adequate trans- portation facilities, including Peoria and Eastern Railway, giving service to the east and west; the branch line of the Wabash running to Sidney connects with the main line between St. Louis and the east, while the Illinois Central affords fre- quent services to Chicago and the south. "A train your way every hour of the day" is provided by the Illinois Traction Sys- tem, with accommodations east and west, while to the north, local traffic is cared for by the Kankakee and Urbana Traction com- pany. Connections are made at Glover by trolley with the Chicago and Eastern Illi- nois railroad company for Chicago and St. Louis. Urbana is situated 128 miles south of Chicago, 118 miles west of Indianapolis, and 98 miles east of Peoria. All parts of the city are reached hy frequent trolley and bus service, while the city marks the intersection of state highways numbers ten and twenty-five, and is connected with the state hy pavements extending east south - east, south. southwest, northwest north from Urbana. and
To visit Urbana is to be convinced that it is an ideal place in which to live and bring up a family. With its miles of paved streets, and their over-hanging shade trees, its beautiful lawns, its tasteful and home- like residences, Urbana comes very near to being the ideal city.
Among the other points of interest in this "city of opportunity" are, Samuel T. Busey's library, the Outlook Tuberculosis Sanitarium, Cunningham Home for chil- dren, Mercy Hospital. The Margaret Carle sanitarium, the most up-to-date sanitary disposal plant in the country, a 100 acre, eighteen hole golf course and country club, the Wesley Foundation and the state and government experiment station.
