In 1892 Trinity College, now Duke University, was brought to Dur- ham through the philanthropy of Mr. Washington Duke and General Julian S. Carr. Today Duke University has a physical plant worth $20,000,000, 3,215 students, a 456-bed hospital, and ranks among the leading educational institutions of the nation.
As the tobacco industry grew and prospered, certain persons used some of their dividends in establishing cotton mills, and this industry soon assumed a position of importance in the industrial life of the city. Later hosiery mills were established, until today Durham ranks as the first city of the South in the manufacture of full-fashioned silk hosiery. Other industries were added from time to time, including flour mills, fertilizer plants, iron works, woodworking plants, printing establishments, etc., until in 1935 there are engaged in industry 13,000 wage-earners,

INTRODUCTION
producing $160,336,003 worth of manufactured products annually. These industries pay into the Federal treasury approximately $70,000,000 each vear. Durham today produces 24 per cent of all the cigarettes made in the United States.
In 1914 a program of civic improvement was undertaken, and al- though it was interrupted by the World War, it has now reached the point where Durham has all the conveniences of a modern city, in- cluding complete sewerage, asphalt streets, paved sidewalks, electric power, gas, the latest dial telephone service, Western Union and Postal Telegraph service, American Telephone & Telegraph repeater station, in- suring rapid long-distance telephone communication; a fine recreation program, and a system of water works with an impounding reservoir sufficient to care for the needs of a city of 100,000 people.
Any story about Durham would be incomplete without mention of the notable contribution which the Negro race has made to the in- dustrial, commercial and civic development of the community. The progress the race has made here has been truly amazing. Under the leadership of E. R. Merrick, and later, C. C. Spaulding and their asso- ciates, Durham's colored people have established industries, insurance companies, banks and other commercial businesses which would be creditable to any city. The labor which they furnish the city's industrial plants is intelligent and dependable. The high type of leaders among the colored people here has made Durham a conspicuous outpost in the advancement of Negro civilization.
One of the finest things about the founders of Durham is that material prosperity merely opened to them avenues of service to man- kind. It has been said that more philanthropists have been produced in Durham than in any other city of the South. Watts Hospital, of 210 beds, was a gift to the city and county by Mr. George W. Watts. Lincoln Hospital, of 108 beds, is largely the gift of Mr. Benjamin N. Duke. Duke University is a living memorial to Mr. Washington Duke and his two sons, Benjamin N. Duke and James Buchanan Duke. Other philanthropists have remembered the city from time to time in ways that help in making Durham a good place in which to live and work.
Durham is today the third city in North Carolina in point of popu- lation, having approximately 64,000 inhabitants, and is second in in- dustrial payrolls, and second in importance in the value of its manu- factured products. It is far in the lead in its educational facilities,

having an unexcelled public school system and Duke University within its corporate limits, and having within a radius of a few miles the University of North Carolina, Wake Forest College, Meredith College, North Carolina State College, Peace Institute, St. Mary's, and the Southern Conservatory of Music.
The colored people have in Durham, in addition to excellent public schools for their race, the North Carolina College for Negroes, the only college of liberal arts for Negroes supported by taxation in the Southern states.
All these things have been accomplished by people not especially favored by nature, but who by their determination, unconquerable will, tireless effort, and by their faith in mankind and in this community, have created a city that proudly takes its position as one of the representa - tive cities of the new South and of America.

Taxes and Valuation: In 1935 the city of Durham had an assessed valuation of $70,281,414, with a city tax rate of $1.70 on the $100. Property assessed on 75 per cent of true value. The county of Durham had an assessed valuation of $95,000,000 and a county tax rate of 50 cents. Property assessed on 75 per cent of true value. No property tax is levied by the State.
Theatres: Five motion picture theatres for white, and two for colored. Total seating capacity, 3,585.
Transportation: Durham has five lines of railroad, radiating in seven directions. It has two lines of the Southern Railway, the Seaboard Air Line Railway, the Norfolk & Western Railway, the Durham & South- ern Railway, and the Norfolk Southern Railroad. These railroads afford unusually good freight facilities. Durham is on the National Highway and the Central Highway, the principal routes between the North and South and between the East and West. Excellent bus service is maintained between Durham and Raleigh, Henderson, Oxford, Roxboro, Greensboro, Chapel Hill, Pittsboro, Siler City and Danville, Va.
Water: Durham has an ample supply of pure water. An impound- ing reservoir completed in 1926 stores 4,600,000,000 gallons, which, if used for no other purpose, would, at the present rate of consumption, supply the demand for a period of three years. There is no longer any danger of a water shortage. The water is excellent for domestic uses and is soft and free from iron, making it very desirable for industrial purposes.
