or snowfall. Destructive winds are practically unknown. The elevation and temperature combine to provide healthful living and industrial conditions.


BUSINESS INSTITUTIONS


Two state banks serving .the local commercial and industrial re- quirements with an industrial bank for individual needs show resources of $22,456,803.39. In addition two building and loan associations have resources of $3,620,766.06 available for home and business construction. Some 300 retail and service establishments serve the city and a wide surrounding area.


RAIL TRANSPORTATION


Rail transportation service is afforded by the Southern Railway Sys- tem and the Alexander Railroad. Connections at Spencer Transfer 30 miles to the east provide quick freight service to all the principal markets and to the southern coastal cities. Passenger train service is provided by convenient schedules. Excellent undeveloped industrial sites are available within or immediately outside the city limits with all utility services, highway and railway advantages.


LABOR


A splendid type of labor is available in this section. Over 100 manufacturing industries employ a large number of labor, male and female. A wide range of skilled classifications are included, for the rea- son that present industrial activities are widely diversified. However, the larger portion of the workers are experienced in textiles or wood- working, these being the predominating industries at present. The basic industry of Iredell County is farming and with the advent of the Carna- tion Condensery in 1939, dairying and cattle breeding has become a major agricultural industry.


A large potential labor supply is available in Statesville and im- mediate surrounding communities. Unskilled workers from this vicinity because of unusual intelligence are easily trained and make dependable, skilled workers. New industries can be staffed without importing work- ers from a distance. There is no labor disturbance or agitating elements in this area; destructive strikes are unknown. Manufacturing wages of course conform with the various national codes.


ELECTRIC POWER


Electric current for power and light is furnished to domestic and industrial users of Statesville from the vast power developments of the Duke Power Company with distribution through the City's Light and Power Department, up to and including 43,200,000 K. W. H. for the year of 1953. Power is brought into Statesville over three transmission lines

owned by the Duke Power Company and distributed over a new city electrical system costing over three-quarters of a million dollars.


FUEL


Coal for industrial purposes is available to Statesville from the Ten- nessee, Kentucky and West Virginia fields. Gas for domestic and industrial use is available through the Public Service Company of North Carolina from their local plant.


WATER SUPPLY


The city's water supply is taken from near-by streams, from which it is pumped to settling basins. The water after filtering passes to an elevated stand-pipe of 1,000,000 gallons capacity. Present capacity of water plant is 3,500,000 gallons daily with 1,000,000 storage at plant.


SANITATION


Sewage facilities have now been extended to every section of the city and some areas outside the city. There are three lift stations and a modern sewage disposal plant, adequate for years, which treats and filters the sewage.


Scheduled garbage service, free of charge, is trucked out of city where it is buried in a sanitary fill.


TAXES


The city and county tax rates in effect in Statesville are moderate when the services to its citizens are considered. The city rate is $1.30 and the county $1.30 per hundred on an assessed valuation equivalent to 75 percent of estimated 1941 level. No special taxes. (1953 val. $26,802,657).


EDUCATION


An excellent public educational system is maintained in Statesville. The grammar schools are housed in three modern, fire-proof buildings; fully accredited high school and junior high school housed in their own up-to-date buildings. Two schools are provided for those of the colored race. The total enrollment in these schools is 3,051 which is cared for by a teaching staff of 116 people. Statesville is the seat of Mitchell Col- lege, a co-educational institution sponsored by the Presbyterian Church and now in its 93rd year.


CHURCHES


All the principle religious faiths are represented by churches in Statesville for both white and colored citizens.


ATTITUDE TOWARD INDUSTRY


The City of Statesville is an old established community, its charter being dated January 9, 1847. While it is the present home of a number of old and important industrial enterprises, its alert citizenry are alive to the advantages of further industrial development and the opportunities
