Indiana. The figures for the Bedford-Bloomington oolitic limestone district, in Lawrence and Monroe counties, Ind., as given below, differ from those published in former reports in that a further separation of dressed stone is made in order to show the semifinished molded and machine stone furnished to cut-stone plants for further dressing before being placed in the building. The quantity of building stone reported in 1923 is greater than has ever been reported before, being 12 per cent more than the greatest annual output previously recorded that for 1912—and 22 per cent more than that for 1922.
