Other new industries established in 1950 ranged from elec tronics to wood pulp. Both these new industries, which completed or planned investment of njore than $100 millions in the State during the year, md ad ditions to already established .manu facturing plants reflected the trend toward rural and suburban locations. The number of plants located out side cities directs attention to North Carolina's "accessible isolation"- slogan first used by Governor Scott in summing up the1 State's unique at traction to industry in the atomic era. With overnight access to the most concentrated markets in the nation. but with its own population of more than four millions dispersed in more than 3,500 towns, Villages and rural areas, North Carolina represents ac cessibility to markets, materials and labor, but isolation from the diaal vantages of congested cities. ' Typical of industry's utilization of rural and suburban plant sites ' in North Carolina are the $24 million duPont plant for the manufacture of the new 'Fibre V" near Kinston, the $20 million Olin Industries plant for the manufacture of cellophane at Pis- gah Forest, and the $3 million plant of Woonsocket Falls Mills for making upholstering materials near the port city of Wilmington. v These are all large textile and chem ical establishments, but overall in dustrial expansion of 1950 covered a much broader field. The wooden fur niture industry, in which North Caro lina leads the nation, was expanded by the addition of the $600,000 plant1 Of KroeMer Manufacturing Co., at Char lotte. In the field of tobacco manu facturing, in which North Carolina al so leads the nation, finishing touches were put on the new ChesteitfieOd plant and laboratory constructed in Durham by Liggett & Meyers in 1949. : The 31 principal industries selecting North Carolina during 1950 for the establishment of new plants involving estimated investment of 4104,421,000 will provide employment for 9,715 workers with annual payrolls of $104,- 739,000, These figures do not include additions to existing facilities, which amounted to millions of dollars, or the multinmillion dollar public utilities ex pansion program. s - j During the year, the- State's agri cultural. . marketing facilities were improved by the erection of a $750,000 grain elevator near Wilson and ex pansion 01 meat packing plants m areas of rapidly increasing livestock production. . inaustnai activity was marked in the Coastal Plains region served by the ports of Wilmington and More head City, where the State is invest ing $7,500,000 in ocean freight facili ties. At Wilmington, reopening of shipyards which produced hundreds of Victory and Liberty cango earners in World War II is expected, and ar rangements are being made for placing a huge drydock to be available bath for reconditioning ships taken fromi nearby storage basins but also for regular commercial freighters. Excellent relations between labor and management continued during (he year. - In fact, for the two-year p'.nod ended last June 30, there were only 37 work stoppages and less than one- third of one per cent of all the nation's man days of idleness due to work stop pages were in North Carolina Reversal of the trend drawing labor away from the land into congested cities is no accident in North Carolina, which is now capitalizing on its lack of large cities. With only one city over 100,000, despite the fact it ranks 10th in the nation in population, North Carolina is going about carrying the advantages of urban living and em' ployment to its rural population at 1 pace approached by no other state. Its more, than 3,500 towns and vil lages (less than. 250 of them oyer 1, 000. population) are, linked by a State Highway network , of 65,000 miles, of which more than 12,000 miles are scheduled for paving and 35,000 miles additional scheduled for all-year con dition during the. administration of the present Governor, W. Kerr Tfcdtt. Nearly 90 of "the farms of the State are electrified, and telephones are being extended into rural areas at a rapid rate.: . ,'- -; p.- . ;, . A school building program calling for 10,000 new rooms for 300,000 pu pils is well under way with an archi tectural concept so advanced that the North Carolina .school building prcj- gram Is being, closely studied by de- Signers all over the country. The State operates the largest motor fleet in the world more than. 5,000 school buses transponting nearly 400,000 chil dren to consolidated schools.' A four-year hospital building pro gram providing 3,000 additional beds is near completion. ; iv;T-...'. .. ' Approximately two-thirds of the State's general, revenues, which yield about $140 millions a year, are in vested in its public schools. " ' The State tax" structure is stabi lized. There is no State tax on land, that source being left completely to local units. Principal sources of rev enue are from income, and a general sales, tax. There has been no in crease in corporate ..taxes since 1933, yet revenues nave v consistently ex ceeded expenditures' for public service which have been steadily expanded to meet the needs of a rapidly growing state. , ' . .
