NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



Sandstone is the one variety which has experienced an almost 

 uninterrupted decline during the last decade. More than any other 

 kind it has felt the competition of cement, since the principal 

 branches in New York State are those supplying stone for street 

 work — curbstone, flagstone and paving blocks. 



A gain in the production of trap restored the loss registered in 

 the preceding year. The industry is carried on chiefly in Rockland 

 county, and the principal quarries are in process of condemnation 

 as part of the plan for the conservation of the Palisades.
