Morganton has excellent sources of water supply. The city water system has a capacity of 1,500,000 gallons per day from mountain streams. In addition to this the city has a well which is estimated to yield one-half million gallons per day. The water is not filtered and is treated by adding chlorine only.
TRANSPORTATION
Morganton is served by Southern Railroad System, being located on the main line from Salisbury to the middle west. There are six passen- ger trains daily and 32 scheduled freight trains daily, these varying in number with the demand for this service. There is a sixteen hour schedule between Morganton and New York by rail.

GENERAL
Morganton is a modern city, possessing all of the requisites neces- sary to successful business and industrial operations, as well as pro- viding an ideal place to live. Its citizens are courteous, cultured, and friendly. They always welcome substantial citizens from other sections.
Civic Clubs outstanding in Morganton are: Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions, Optimist, Pilots and Woman's Clubs.

In addition to the industrial development the county is agricultural, producing dairy cattle, small grains, poultry and truck crops. Morganton and Burke County are well balanced. Morganton also is a tourist town, this industry gaining much since the war and due to the highways into the mountains being improved.
Morganton is famous for its beautiful Mimosa trees which line the streets and highways in every direction. One of the finest golf courses in the state is the Mimosa Golf Course in Morganton, a Donald Ross course where golf is played the year round.
