PREFACE
ROANOKE RAPIDS, N. C.
LOCATION: The city of Roanoke Rapids, N. C. is located in the northeastern section of the state and in Halifax County. It is five miles south of the Virginia-North Carolina boundary on U. S. Highway 158 and 85 miles south of Richmond, Va. Raleigh, the state capital, is 80 miles southwest of Roanoke Rapids. The city is also on N. C. Highway 48 which branches off U. S. 301 at the Virginia-Carolina border. Roanoke 'Rapids is on a branch line of the Seaboard Air Line Railroad running between Raleigh, N. C., and Norfolk, Va.
POPULATION: The official U. S. Census lists Roanoke Rapids as having a population of 8,156 living within its boundaries, but for the past 10 years the city has been rapidly outgrowing its corporate limits. As a matter of fact, the population within the limits itself has decreased a few hundred in the past ten years due to several new housing develop- ments outside the city limits. Should the corporate limits be extended, and a movement is underway at the present time, the city's population would be an estimated 12,000.
The population of Roanoke Rapids is almost entirely composed of native born white. The city has one of the smallest negro populations in the state and the foreign born citizens are so few as to be almost negligible although those here have adjusted themselves harmoniously to life and business in this section of the country and are respected and energetic citizens.
GOVERNMENT AND TAXES: The city of Roanoke Rapids has the Commissioner-Mayor form of government with a mayor and six com- missioners administering the government, with three commissioners representing each of the two wards. The mayor serves as executive head of the local government and is responsible to the commissioners.
City taxes, in addition to State and County taxes are as follows:
Real Estate $1.15 per $100 evaluation
School. .50 per $100 evaluation
Sanitary District 15 per $100 evaluation
(The Sanitary District is less than the area of the city.)
Halifax County tax rate on real estate and tangible personal property is $1.00 per $100 assessed value.
UTILITIES: Water for the city is handled by the Roanoke Rapids Sanitary District, which is separate and apart from the city government. This organization, administered by 3 board members who are elected every 2 years. The water, which is drawn from the Roanoke River, is filtered by coagulation and filtration in a 3,141,230 gallon (daily) capacity plant. Recently contracts have been let to increase the filtering capacity of this plant by one-third thereby making twice as much water available as is now being used. Also, under supervision of the Sanitary District is 35 miles of sewer lines, which does not include storm sewers, and a like mileage of water lines.
