  a 
  minimum. 
  When 
  people 
  once 
  become 
  acquainted 
  with 
  the 
  

   immense 
  saving 
  by 
  means 
  of 
  good 
  roads 
  the 
  first 
  cost 
  of 
  construc- 
  

   tion 
  will 
  no 
  longer 
  be 
  considered

  Lime 
  Burning. 
  

  

  There 
  is 
  but 
  little 
  lime 
  burned 
  in 
  the 
  county 
  and 
  that 
  princi- 
  

   pally 
  for 
  local 
  consumption. 
  At 
  Napanoch 
  there 
  is 
  one 
  lime- 
  

   kiln 
  which 
  supplies 
  the 
  paper-mill 
  with 
  lime. 
  

  

  Two 
  kilns 
  at 
  Wawarsing 
  supply 
  lime 
  for 
  tanneries 
  in 
  the 
  

   immediate 
  vicinity. 
  A 
  good 
  deal 
  of 
  lime 
  from 
  the 
  above 
  kilns 
  is 
  

   used 
  for 
  agriculture. 
  At 
  Rochester 
  are 
  four 
  kilns 
  which 
  burn 
  

   lime 
  principally 
  for 
  agricultural 
  purposes. 
  

  

  Between 
  Marbletown 
  and 
  stone 
  ridge, 
  in 
  the 
  township 
  of 
  Mar- 
  

   bletown, 
  are 
  two 
  kilns 
  which 
  burn 
  lime 
  for 
  agricultural 
  use 
  

   exclusively. 
  

  

  Although 
  the 
  Newark 
  Lime 
  and 
  Cement 
  Company 
  burn 
  no 
  

   lime, 
  2000 
  tons 
  per 
  year 
  of 
  limestone 
  are 
  quarried 
  from 
  the 
  

   Scutella 
  beds 
  and 
  sent 
  to 
  Newark, 
  N. 
  J., 
  for 
  burning. 
  The 
  

   limestone 
  burns 
  into 
  a 
  dark-colored 
  lime. 
  The 
  quarries 
  are 
  

   located 
  at 
  Rondout 
  and 
  the 
  beds 
  overlie 
  the 
  cement 
  rock. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Frederick 
  M. 
  Goss, 
  of 
  Kingston, 
  has' 
  kilns 
  on 
  Hasbrouck 
  

   avenue 
  and 
  burns 
  lime 
  both 
  for 
  local 
  consumption 
  and 
  for 
  ship- 
  

   ment 
  to 
  New 
  York. 
  He 
  usually 
  burns 
  and 
  sells 
  25,000 
  to 
  35,000 
  

   barrels 
  of 
  lime 
  per 
  year. 
  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  business 
  prostration 
  this 
  

   year 
  almost 
  nothing 
  has 
  been 
  done 
  by 
  him. 
  

  

  Water 
  Power. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  several 
  large 
  streams 
  in 
  this 
  county 
  which 
  are 
  

   capable 
  of 
  furnishing 
  a 
  great 
  deal 
  of 
  water 
  power. 
  While 
  at 
  a 
  

   few 
  places 
  this 
  possible 
  power 
  is 
  utilized, 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  it 
  

   goes 
  to 
  waste. 
  The 
  streams 
  capable 
  of 
  supplying 
  large 
  water 
  

   power 
  are 
  the 
  Kondout 
  and 
  Wallkill 
  rivers, 
  Marbletown 
  and 
  

   Esopus 
  creeks. 
  Sandberg 
  creek 
  at 
  Ellenville, 
  Beerkill 
  and 
  

   Fountain 
  kill 
  are 
  smaller 
  tributary 
  streams. 
  At 
  High 
  Falls 
  and 
  

   LeFever 
  Falls 
  water 
  power 
  is 
  used 
  in 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  cement 
  mills, 
  

   but 
  neither 
  the 
  full 
  height 
  nor 
  volume 
  of 
  water 
  is 
  used. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  many 
  smaller 
  tributary 
  streams 
  upon 
  which 
  are 
  

   situated 
  small 
  grist-mills 
  for 
  local 
  work, 
  and 
  some 
  small 
  saw-mills. 
  

   In 
  the 
  main, 
  however, 
  the 
  water 
  power 
  is 
  unimproved. 
  It 
  may
