Recently there has been a reor ganization of the' H. M. -Dalton Stone Co. This company since the death of H. M. Dalton, five or mere years ago, has had its general office at Evansville, Ind. Mr. C. P. White, a man of considerable wealth, has lately taken more active charge and tffected a nrw organization and the name has been changed to that of The Kentucky Crushed Stone Com pany." Mr. White's home is at Boonvi le, Ind. We are reliably in formed that the company will begin active operations about the middle of Marc'i, or as soon ns weather con ditions become favorable. The com pany's quarry, between the river jind the Greenville road, East of the city, consists of splendid blue lime stone and the company has never had any trouble disposing of every car of stone it has crushed, the railroad us ing moat of it for ballast. The de mand here for crushed and pulver ized stone last year was far in excess of the local supply, and consequent ly a great quantity was shipped in from, Princeton, Cerulean and other places. Building operations here this year will be far in excess of 1912 and the demand for crushed and pulverized stone will be correspondingly great er, but it is probably that the rail roads will take most, if not all, of, the output of the Kentucky Stone Co. If that be so, the local demand must be supplied entirely from the local company's quarries east of the city, near the Nashville pike. The Kentucky Crushed Stone Com pany, we learn, is preparing to com mence active operations in a short time. The company, when running at full capacity, can give employ ment to about 150 men and they pay good wages. Mostly colored people are employed. The big whistle has not been heard for a long time and tne colored population will rejoice to hear its welcome sound in the early morning hours. about two weeks hence.
