C Its Growth and Resources [The following matter, furnished by the Chamber of Commerce, contains Secretary Kyle's annual report and a part of President Taylor's address.] Growth of Population. The growth of our population in the past five years has been very notable, being an estimated increase of about 50 per cent. Boom towns easily attract and as readily lose population, while growth that is predicated on sound economic conditions is more gradual but permanent. Wilmington has never had a boom. The percentage of Increase in our population, how- most noteworthy characteristic, change inever, is not the as the the com- position of the population is an economic factor of almost incalculable value. white population has largely increased, and thisThe percentage of has brought with it a ratio of wealth-producing and self-sufficing units which we believe make Wilmington the solidest city in the South. The character deposits, whichof this increase in population is reflected in our savings banks within the past twelve months have increased $450,000. This analyzed is factor of wealth-pro-means that the employee class of the community a duction to itself as well as to the employer class—a condition that denotes material prosperity and social contentment.the highest degree of Real Estate.

C. volume of this industry is a present source of wealth to Wilmington's commerce; but the more that our climate and soil are studied and under- stood, the more certain it is that we are but in the morn of development. A map recently issued by the Federal Government, for the information of the general trucking interest, shows that the precipitation in the Wilming- ton belt is better adapted to truck culture than in any other section of the country. There is no spot on the Atlantic coast so favored as respects either soil or climate, while our geographical location renders it possible for us to reach the consuming centres of the North, East and West with a dispatch and at cost which competitiona from sections further South is impossible. We can market our products at a profit at prices that would mean cost and less than cost to sections further South, while by reason of the lateness of the season North of us we rarely meet competition from even the Norfolk section. HARBOK lilPROVEMENTS. It is a cause of sincere congratulation that Wilmington has been placed on the continuous appropriation list of harbor improvements. At the last session of Congress a continuous appropriation of was made for$450,000 the lower Cape Fear and Bar, for which we must acknowledge our indebted- ness to Congressmen Patterson and Small. There is reason believe thatto the appropriation can be doubled with the proper public effort on the part Wilmington.of Pilotage. The business public is to be congrat
