  Marble 
  

  

  True 
  marble, 
  a 
  crytalline 
  limestone, 
  is 
  fairly 
  abundant 
  in 
  New 
  

   York 
  State, 
  though 
  its 
  occurrence 
  is 
  limited 
  to 
  the 
  metamorphic 
  

   regions, 
  including 
  the 
  Adirondack 
  region 
  and 
  the 
  lower 
  Hudson 
  

   valley. 
  The 
  industry 
  is 
  concentrated 
  into 
  three 
  main 
  areas 
  : 
  Gouver- 
  

   neur, 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  co. 
  ; 
  South 
  Dover, 
  Dutchess 
  co. 
  ; 
  and 
  Tuckahoe, 
  

   Westchester 
  co. 
  Aside 
  from 
  these 
  there 
  are 
  two 
  firms 
  producing 
  

   limestone 
  which, 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  capable 
  of 
  taking 
  a 
  fine 
  polish 
  and 
  is 
  used 
  

   for 
  interior 
  decorations 
  and 
  for 
  monumental 
  work, 
  is 
  classed 
  as 
  

   marble 
  in 
  the 
  trade. 
  The 
  quarries 
  are 
  located 
  near 
  Plattsburg 
  in 
  

   Clinton 
  county, 
  where 
  a 
  Chazy 
  limestone 
  is 
  quarried, 
  and 
  at 
  Glens 
  

   Falls, 
  Warren 
  co., 
  where 
  a 
  fine 
  grained 
  Trenton 
  limestone 
  is 
  pol- 
  

   ished 
  and 
  sold 
  as 
  black 
  marble^
