ROANOKE RAPIDS, the largest city in Halifax County, is a pros- perous and progressive industrial city, located in North Carolina's rich- est, diversified agricultural section; 86 miles East of Raleigh, the State Capital; 103 miles Southwest of Norfolk, Virginia; 89 miles South of Richmond, Virginia; and 193 miles South of Washington, D. C.
POPULATION: According to U. S. Census, the City's population in 1940 was 8,545-99% American, while in 1930 it was 3,310. The in- crease in that ten year period was 158%, but conservative estimates, based on the continued rapid growth since 1940, place the present popu- lation at 14,500. The present estimated population for Roanoke Rapids township is 19,375 and for Halifax County 63,100.
THE GOVERNMENT is vested in a Mayor and six city commission- ers who are progressively administering the affairs of the City to provide the necessary facilities required for its rapid growth.

EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES in Roanoke Rapids are excellent. The City's public school system, accredited since 1917, has six schools, one of which is for Negroes, all operating for a full nine months term with the High Schools providing twelve grades. In addition to regular sub- jects taught, the City School System has added a course in textile manufacture which also instructs adults.

course, beautiful picnic grounds and a modern well-equipped club building for other social activities.
HOMES AND COURCHES: Roanoke Rapids in all its prosperity has not forgotten its Churches, practically every denomination is repre- senetd with modern well-equipped buildings providing the City with a unity of Christian fellowship and a home-loving people. Home owner- ship is an outstanding trait and has produced many beautiful homes, making the City a friendly and gracious environment for home-loving people.
INDUSTRIES include eight textile mills, one of which, The Rosemary Manufacturing Company, is the largest damask mill in the world; two paper mills, Halifax Paper Company being one of the oldest Kraft Paper Mills in the United States; three brick plants, one lumber mill and num- erous smaller industries. Total annual payroll is estimated at $10,- 000,000.00.
AGRICULTURE: Located in one of the most fertile sections of Eastern Carolina with its rich dark loam soil from the Roanoke River Valleys and plains makes farming one of the chief industries; cotton, corn, peanuts and tobacco being the major crops. The mild climate and long growing season combine to make housing of crops easy and profitable.
TRANSPORTATION is furnished by the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, only four miles away at Weldon, and Caro- lina Trailways Bus Line, with 44 daily buses, and truck lines to all North- ern and Southern centers. .
THE AIRPORT -- The Halifax County Airport is located within three miles of the city and is being built with county and federal funds, at a cost in excess of $200,000.00. When completed, it will be modern and complete, with runways and hanger facilities for medium-sized com- mercial planes. This means that "feeder" line service will be available here within a matter of months.
NEWSPAPER: The Herald, now a weekly, is installing new equip- ment regularly with the view in mind of changing over to a daily publication.
COMMUNICATION facilities include Western Union Telegraph, the Carolina Telephone and Telegraph Company with modern dial system, and 10 incoming and outgoing mails daily.
Post Office receipts in 1934 totaled $18,598.15; in 1940 $33,398.24; and in 1946 $50,083.14.
RADIO STATION WCBT, Roanoke Rapids' locally owned radio sta- tion, serves a wide area of Northeastern Carolina and Southside Virginia. AND WCBT-FM, local frequency modulation station, is also on the air, but in an experimental stage. WCBT was one of the earlier stations of the state to go on the air, and WCBT-FM is among the first of its type of broadcaster in the state.

FINANCIAL: Roanoke Rapids with its ever-increasing demand for modern banking facilities is well served by three of the best equipped banking institutions in North Carolina. The Roanoke Bank and Trust Company, operating two branches, and Citizens Bank & Trust Company. Combined deposits in Roanoke Rapids total $5,095,108.26, with combined resources of $5,582,109.35. Two building and loan associations, the Roanoke Rapids Building & Loan Association and Rosemary Building & Loan Association, with combined resources of $1,087,086.63, are impor- tant factors in residential construction and financing.
TAXES in Halifax County and Roanoke Rapids are among the lowest in the State, due to good business management of the officials. The City tax rate for 1947 is $1.15 per $100 assessed valuation. The total assessed valuation in Roanoke Rapids is $14,041,258.00 and in Halifax County $39,002,669.00.
The county tax rate is 65 cents per $100 assessed valuation. Property in the city and county is listed for taxation at approximately one-half value, on the basis of today's market.
With these advantages, Roanoke Rapids offers the home seeker or industrial enterprise a community where life may be lived enjoyably and to the fullest advantage, and where business may be conducted with the greatest efficiency.
