According to the report of the United Statee geological survey, complete to the year 1913, Jjust published, gives figures representing the value of th: granite production, which includes that produced in Rhode Island, and that means Westerly, as practically all the granite produced in the state is from Westerly quarries. In 1908 the product in this state was valued at $556,474; in 1909 -it was $933,053, and dropped to $521,490 in 1910, while in 1911 it was $987,743, and increased in 1912 to $767,507. Local producers estimate the product of 1913 at about $800,000. The report shows that in 1911 these values in granite in Rhode Island in more detail as follows: Building, $17,- 576; monumental, $184,634; rubble, $2 other, $385; dressed for building $387. 458: dressed for monumental work, $186,095; made into paving blocks, $114,293; curbing, $13,164; crushed stone, $33,616; concrete, $24,406; total, $957,743 In 1812: Builing, $14, 331; monumen- tal, $178,666; rubble, $1.514; riprap, $812; other in rough. $55; dressed for bullding, $164,752; monumental, $260,- 0T4: paving blocks, $37,449: curbing, $7,891; crushed stone, $64.777; crete, $24,140; other, $4,502; $767,607.
