Building and Development
To house all these new residents, 1942 saw the addition of 7,800 or more new dwelling units. Of these, approximately 6,500 were provided by the U. S. Government. The additional houses were provided by private agencies, and there was a continuing volume of building. This new housing now offers a fine incentive for industrial expansion.
Over $1,500.000 has been invested in an extension of the school system, it

being estimated that the recent increase of population added approximately 5,000 students to the rolls. A similar sum has been spent for the extension and enlargement of hospital facilities to care for demands brought about by the addition to the population of the city and county. Approximately $1,500,000 has been applied to reconstruction and enlargement of the municipal water works plant, which work has doubled the pumpage capacity from approximately 5,125,000 gallons to 7,000,000 gallons daily.
Wilmington a Growing Port: Foreign Trade
Wilmington possesses a fresh-water harbor 30 miles from the bar. Ice is an unknown quantity in the river, which has a deep channel, through which go big ocean steamers bound for Europe, Latin America and other foreign shores. The Federal Government recently completed the deepening of the channel in the river to 30 feet at mean low water (with approval of increase to a 32-foot depth and increase of width from 300 to 400 feet), as well as the Intra-Coastal Canal from Beaufort to Wilmington and from Wilmington to Miami, Fla., affording connections with Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and Boston.
Wilmington's exportations and importations are large and ever-growing,

which mark a successful port, Large quantities of lumber, tobacco, cotton goods, fertilizer, railroad ties, foodstuffs, and other miscellaneous commodities are ex- ported. Its imports cover a large field in variety, and come from practically every quarter of the globe. In imports, Wilmington ranks as the second largest in petroleum and sodium nitrates on the Atlantic Seaboard. Wilmington also imports large quantities of molasses, sugar, mahogany logs, bulbs and seeds, burlap, etc. The N. C. State Ports Authority now is constructing modern, new port facilities including docks, slips, warehouses, etc., with an initial construc- tion cost of $5,000,000, Expected to be completed July 1, 1952
Wilmington is North Carolina's major seaport city and the gateway of the state's commerce and trade, North Carolina is vast in area, larger than New York or Pennsylanvia, and almost as large as New England. Wilmington is the natural distributing point for North Carolina and parts of South Carolina and Georgia Think what it would mean if all New England had only one such distributing seaport, and it will then be realized why Wilmington must grow and is growing to meet the demands of this vast territory, the bountiful natural resources of which have hardly been touched. From the Middle West the Panama Canal possibly is in more direct communication via Wilmington than

INTRODUCTION

by any other South Atlantic seaport, and cargoes to and from Wilmington are not subject to the dangers of Cape Hatteras.
Wilmington is the nearest Atlantic port to the Ohio gateways, and nearer Cincinnati than Charleston by 15 miles, and Savannah, by 30 miles.
The city has immense terminals which can load 16 ocean-going ships at one time, providing them with over 600,000 square feet of warehouse space.
Commerce on the Cape Fear River at and below Wilmintgon amounted to 2.823,614 tons in a recent year. This shows a satisfactory and continuing in- crease in volume, and indicates the growing importance of the Port of Wilmington.
South of Hatteras, thus assuring safety to vessels from Latin-American and other countries to the south of the U. S., this port occupies a strategic position of advantage to those countries.
Wilmington has become a new and important inland waterway canal ter-

The municipal building of the City of Wilmington is more than eighty years "young," and attracts the attention of all visitors because of its graceful design and attractive proportions.
minal since the completion, in the spring of 1932, of the extension from Beaufort to the Cape Fear River. This link provides accommodations for heavy traffic over a protected inland channel twelve feet deep and 90 feet wide, connecting up with points as far north as New York and Boston, and Miami, southward.
Industry, Transportation, Trade, Agriculture
Wilmington has two immense cotton compresses and two marine railways. The steel shipyard operated during the first World War by the George A. Fuller Co. has been converted into an industrial center. The concrete shipyard prop- erty is owned by the City and will be developed into municipal wharves and public terminals and warehouses. This has been offered the State of North Carolina as a location for state-owned terminals and warehouses, whenever such are necessary. Wilmington now has one of the finest and most efficiently operated systems of private terminals at any Southern port, and the city's prin- cipal stevedoring corporation holds the record for all South Atlantic ports for quick dispatch of cargo.
With both water and rail transportation, thus affording quick hauls and low freight rates, and near the sources of raw materials, Wilmington is a splendid spot for manufacturing industries. Two big railroad systems-the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line-place the city near the great coal fields

and iron-producing zones.
Wilmington's outlets by rail and water are the Atlantic Coast Line and Sea- board Air Line systems; the Wilmington, Brunswick & Southern llailroad; the North Carolina Line; the Norfolk, Baltimore & Carolina Line; the Railway Ex- press Agency, and foreign service. The two boat lines mentioned, each operate two services each week over the Intra-Coastal Canal between Wilmington, Nor- folk and Baltimore.
Wlmington is the center of one of the greatest vegetable-producing districts in the U. S. It produces nearly $18,000,000 in early crops, bulbs, flowers and truck.
Comparatively few years ago no strawberries were raised except for domes- tic use; now Wilmington is the center of one of the largest strawbe: ry-growing districts in the world. It is one of the largest lettuce-producing districts also, and a very large vegetable and peanut market (250 growing days per year, and equable rainfall).

ing locally about 1,750 men and women. The monthly payroll of the Coast Line is nearly $300,000.
Wilmington is the terminus of six major highways of North Carolina's splen- did good roads system, and the city also is an important point on the Ocean Highway extending rom Portland Maine, to Miami, Fla .; the Calhoun High- way from Athens, Ga .; the Dixie Highway from Memphis, Tenn., to the ocean at Wilmington, and U. S. Routes 17, 74, 76, 117 and 421.
Regardless of conditions, the past few years have witnessed big building operations. Among recent enterprises located here are several large fertilizer factories, Gulf States Creosoting Co., Taylor-Colquitt Co., manufacturing creo- soted products; Atlantic Refining Co., American Molasses Co., Southland Mfg. Co., Nehi Bottling Co., Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co., Standard Oil Co., Texas Co., Gulf Refining Co., Cities Service Co., Pure Oil Co., National Oil Co., Shell Oil Co., Sinclair Oil Co., Republic Oil Co., Babbcock & Wilcox Marine Boiler Mfg. Co., Riegel-Carolina Paper Mfg. Co., Emulsified Asphalt Refining Co., Port City Hosiery Mills, France Neckwear Co., Smith-Douglas Fertilizer Co., Socony- Vacuum Oil Co., Robertson Chemical Co., Mexican Petroleum Co., shrimp- canning plant, large plush and velour textile mill, Steel Products, Inc., Cape Fear Cold Storage Co., Carolina Asphalt Co., International Paper Co., Inter- national Nickel Corp., Garver Shirt Mfg. Co., and Burt Paper Box Mfg. Co., thus supplementing the city's already large number of such industries.
The Wilmington-New Hanover Airport is an exxceptionally good one, with three intersecting paved runways of 7,000 feet in length. The Government spent approximately $11,000,000 in enlarging and improving this facility during the war, and at this time it is equipped to handle practically any type of ship. A brifef description of the field follows: Area, 1,200 acres. Hangars, one of wood construction and one of metal construction. Repair shops, three, built of steel, and several operational buildings. Type of field, sod. A radio beam is now being installed at the port. The airport is located within 31/2 miles of the center of Wilmington, and is reached by paved highways from either side. Two com- mercial air lines operate from this field; one is a north-south line, and the other, east to west. The operation and management is now under the jurisdiction of the County Airport Authority.

Wilmington is a city of fine streets and parks, attractive homes, beautiful churches and modern schools, in a county netted by good roads. It is a place of up-to-date amusements, with some of the best beach resorts on the South Atlantic Coast within thirty minutes' ride of the city. Wrightsville Beach, eight miles east of the city, is an island resort of fame and renown. It is connected with the mainland by excellent half-hour bus service and causeway to Harbor Island just west of the beach. Carolina, Wilmington and Fort Fisher beaches, south of the city, are mainland resorts with many delightful attractions. Wil- mington's five fine beaches are among the only mainland resorts on the North Carolina coast where one can drive directly to the ocean in an automobile. The five beaches attract approximately 100,000 visitors every summer.
