Air Transport: The State of Rhode Island owns and maintains what is one of the largest and very finest airports in the United States. During the summer of 1935, there were constructed hard-surfaced runways 150 feet wide and 3000 feet long which will permit the landing and departure of the very largest airships with the greatest possible safety and convenience. The field is also equipped with all lighting facilities so that planes, including American Airlines, Inc. - have superior trunk line, passenger, mail and express service from the state airport which is located at Hills- grove, a twenty-five minute run by auto from the heart of the city, to all parts of the country.

Amusements: Largest auditorium seats 9,000 people. There are eighteen theatres, with a total seating capacity of 27,637 people.

Hospitals: Nine.

Education: Number of school buildings 119 with 3 annexes, including four high and eight junior high schools. Number of pupils in public schools 41,736. Total of all teachers in public schools is 1,573. Value of all public school property is over $20,000,000.

Libraries: There are 1,489,051 volumes in the libraries of the city.

Business Library: In the Providence Chamber of Commerce the Providence Public Library maintains a library for the especial use of business in- terests, including complete files of city and phone directories from all leading cities in the United States, and from many smaller communities; commercial indices; and technical volumes relating to many varieties of businesses.

City Statistics: Total street mileage: Platted streets 414.42 with 329.67 miles received. Miles of gas mains laid 744, of sewers 428.14, electric street rail- way 30.43, trackless trolleys 61.44, motor bus 186.81. Capacity of water works (municipal) 37,000,000,000 gallons, daily average 28,540,000 gal- lons, with value of plant estimated at $12,275,984.19. Fire department employs 471 men with the following equipment: 45 pieces apparatus in 28 station houses, 1 fire alarm building, 1 repair shop. Police department has 125 officers, 349 patrolmen, 6 stations, 1 traffic division, 1 detective divi- sion, 1 sub-station, 97 pieces of motor equipment including 22 motorcycles.

Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Wil- liams. Incorporated in 1832. The oldest bank in America and the first Baptist meeting house in the country are located in the city. Brown University, founded in 1764, and many institutions of the early eighteen hundreds are within the city limits. The first directory of names and addresses of persons located in the city was published in 1824.

Providence is the second city of New England in point of population, a fact of special significance, inasmuch as the figures of the United States Census Bureau credit the city with 253,504 inhabitants, yet its area is only eighteen square miles. This City is the trading centre for an immediately adjoining pop- ulation of fully six hundred thousand people; fur- thermore, if we include an extended area, the pop- ulation of which turns to Providence more than to any other city, that trading population is increased to seven hundred and fifty thousand. Recent statis- tical estimates prepared for the Census Bureau with a view to establishing boundaries for Metropolitan Providence place it eleventh in area among cities of the United States and second in New England.

Many factors contribute in making Providence a great city in respect, not only to population, but to industrial activity. Situated as it is on Narragan- sett Bay with its deep channel and other superior water facilities, the city is in a position to call to its service transportation by water as well as by rail. The activities of the Port of Providence are increas- ing and should continue to expand year by year.

Providence is more than usually well provided with excellent public utility facilities. Its Gas Com- pany is known as the most efficient in the industry in New England. Its highly efficient electric serv- ice has grown to very large proportions. The street railway system, now embodied in the Rhode Island Public Service Company, furnishes service not only within the city, but to many outlying points. Its telephone service is the equal of the best in the New England Telephone and Telegraph system, of which it is a part.

The densely populated industrial district of Providence, with its large population to be fed and clothed, is known in all parts of the United States as a distributing point of great importance. Because of the excellent educational opportunities offered, there is a large student population attending Brown University, Pembroke College, Providence College, Rhode Island School of Design, R. I. College of Pharmacy, R. I. College of Education, Bryant Col- lege and many private, business and trade schools.

Providence is particularly fortunate in having a diversity of manufactures. It is not dependent on any one industry. The great industries which have distinguished the city for many years include tex- tiles, jewelry, silverware, iron and steel. It has, for instance : the largest machine shop in the world; the largest finger ring manufacturer in the country ; the largest file manufacturers in the world; the largest silverware manufacturers in the United States; the largest screw manufacturer in the world; one of the leading newspapers of the country, the Providence Journal and Bulletin. Back of these industries and supporting them is a great variety of products, large and small, that have a national reputation.

Today Providence industries are almost 100% engaged in war production. A large volume of the machine tools, textile goods and a host of imple- ments, parts and subassemblies for war use are pour- ing in a steadily increasing flood from hundreds of plants. Several new war production plants and a great shipyard have been established. Providence is doing its full share in the war effort.

The city of Providence has one of the lowest mu- nicipal tax rates in the country and numerous other advantages. Among the most important of these is the wonderful water supply now impounded in an area some seven miles from the city, and as large as the city itself.

Providence retail trade is prosperous, as it should be, in the centre of so great a population. Likewise the wholesale trade, which reaches out over an area extending into Connecticut, Massachusetts and other New England states.

Few cities have been more active in providing adequate facilities for the care of the sick and needy ; its hospitals are equal to all demands. The munici- pality has been active in providing for its citizens those agencies, such as parks and playgrounds, that contribute to the promotion of life and health. The parks form the centre for annual events which attract hundreds of thousands of people for enjoyment and cultural development. Best known among these events is the Annual Festival of the Providence Fes- tical Chorus in Roger Williams Park.

Providence is an attractive city in which to do business and to live in comfort and security. This is evidenced by its continued increase of population over that which follows a steady birth-rate, due to the coming from all parts of the country of investors of both capital and labor. Newcomers are accommo- dated in Providence as in few other cities with pub- licly conducted enterprises which ensure good health, excellent educational opportunities, good living con- ditions and satisfactory returns.

For those who are interested in obtaining gen- eral information or detail particulars regarding the municipality and business opportunities it is recom- mended they write to The Providence Chamber of Commerce, 162 Westminster St.
