The commodities which principally contributed to this increase were coal, coke and iron ore. The movement of anthracite coal increased 1,070,959 tons, the traffic having been sub-normal in 1925 because of the strike in the latter part of that year. The increase of 4,184,314 tons in bituminous coal resulted from greater industrial activity and from the increased demand for export coal incident to the British strike. The use of coke as a sub• stitute for anthracite coal in the early part of the year as a result of the strike in the an• thracite industry caused an increase of 395,973 tons in the coke traffic. The movement of iron ore increased 890,832 tons as the result' of greater demand by the steel industry. Coal and coke constituted 43-81 per cent of the total tonnage in 1926. Passenger revenue was $99,913,735.41, an increase of $3,154,068.91 over 1925 and of $1,243,538.45 over 1923, the previous record year.

Just as the United States was the first true republic to endure and now has be- come the greatest republic the world has ever known, so the New York Central, one of the first important railroads to be established in America, has grown into a great transporta- tion system which, if it is not the foremost in the world, is at least among the very few in the front rank. In the development of the nation the New York Central Railroad has played an essential part. It became the principal highway over which flowed the stream of emigration to people the West, and it has remained the favorite ave- nue of communication between East and West for the descendants of these pioneer emigrants. Keeping pace with the demands upon it for transportation, the New York Central has de- veloped into a railroad system now known as The New York Central Lines, which moves about ten per cent of the aggregate amount of freight hauled by all the railroads as Measured in ton-miles, that is, one ton hauled one mile, 3 NEW Y-0 P.,K_ CENTELAL LIN ES ••• 04101110"r.- Grand Central Terminal, New York City, as it appears from Forty -second Street.

    Natural Cement Industry at Rosendale, Ulster County, New York

    Journal of ASTM International, Vol. 4, No. 6 Paper ID JAI100672 Available online at www.astm.org Dietrich Werner1 and Kurtis C. Burmeister2 An Overview of the History and Economic Geology of the Natural Cement Industry at Rosendale, Ulster County, New York ABSTRACT: The Rosendale region of southeastern New York State is widely recognized as the source of the highest quality natural cement in North America. The North American natural cement industry was founded in 1819 by Canvass White in central New York, but soon shifted to Rosendale where it flourished for over 150 years. By the end of the 19th century, the superior quality of Rosen- dale cement was known worldwide and was actively used in the construction of some of America’s most enduring landmarks. Rosendale natural cement’s reputation stems from the unique composi- tion of the clay-rich layers of dolostone in the Upper Silurian Rondout Formation from which it is manufactured. Miners utilized room-and-pillar techniques to extract this dolostone from strongly deformed strata in the Rosendale region, creating unique bedrock exposures in mines that are something of an engineering marvel. The exposures resulting from these mining activities have long attracted the attention of geologists for research and education. Production of natural cement trans- formed extracted dolostone into barrels of cement through a labor-intensive process involving calci- nation in kilns, cracking, and grinding. Barrels of cement produced were quickly shipped at competi- tive prices via the Delaware and Hudson Canal, which directly connected the Rosendale natural cement region to major shipping avenues. KEYWORDS: natural cement, Canvass White, Delaware and Hudson canal, cement production, geology, education, Rosendale, Ulster County, New York Introduction The momentum of the North American Industrial Revolution in the opening years of the 19th century sparked a number of large-scale building projects, including the construction of regional canal net- works.

Hi, Bill. I don't think I'm going to be able to attend the public meetings re the UCTC Year 2035 Long Range Planning, but I did want to have a little input. I am no expert on buses or bicycles, though I think more use of these would be great, but I do feel that at least in New Paltz, most major roads -- including County roads, like South Putt (part of Cty 17) are definitely not bike-friendly. I do hope that long-range planning will try to make all roads (State, County, town) -- or as many as possible -- in the County as bike-friendly as possible. My main concern is still for cars, since living a couple of miles away from the Village of New Paltz, that is my principal means of transportation. As for County roads, my main issue is striping. Two things: First, I know that years ago a decision was made to have every mile of every County road have only double yellow lines (or at least it's that way for the County roads I've traveled on). This does occasionally result in being behind someone going way under the speed limit.

    Crisis of Rugged Individualism the West Shore—South Pennsylvania Railroad Affair, 1880-1885

    Crisis of Rugged Individualism The West Shore—South Pennsylvania Railroad Affair, 1880-1885 HE last quarter of the nineteenth century traditionally has been viewed as an era in which the economic development of Tthe nation was speeded by a social climate almost perfectly conducive to business enterprise. With a highly sympathetic govern- ment behind him and a docile, unorganized labor force at his disposal, the entrepreneur is supposed to have been free from the major im- ponderables of modern industrial life. Hardly less important, it has been widely assumed, was the businessman's almost complete free- dom to plan and execute projects with a minimum of worry about how his decisions might affect others of his own kind. A spirit of in- dividualism in the commitment of one's own property had, indeed, characterized the small, closely-held enterprises which made up American business from its beginnings down to the end of the Civil War. Few have questioned the extent to which rugged individualism continued to rule throughout the eighties in the rapidly expanding railroad industry, even though by 1880 the numerous individual en- terprises were rapidly being woven into an industry of highly inter- dependent units, into which Americans and Europeans had poured hundreds of millions of dollars of investment capital in the preceding thirty years. Such beliefs about the business climate of the eighties and nineties culminated in a stereotype of the late-nineteenth-century business- man which Edward C. Kirkland articulates with the words "primi- tive," "strong," "confident," and "enthusiastic."1 The successful undertakings of these men, he points out, have been emphasized so exclusively that some of the most disapproving writers have come 1 Edward C* Kirkland, Dream and Thought in the Business Community, 1860-1900 (Ithaca, 1956), 8.
