GRANITE TONNAGE INCREASED.
Central Vermont Carried More of Barre,
Product Than Year Before.

In the annual report Of the Central
Vermont railway company issued yester-
day, there is an interesting comparison
of the amount of granite hauled by this
road in the year ending June 80, 1908,
and the ear just prior. In the last year
it carried l53,422 tons of granite, against
l50,o96 tons in 1907 Considering that
the year was a poor one industrially and
considering also that the gross tonnage
of the Central Vermont fell off 2l3,827
from 1907 to 1908, these figures show
that the granite industry held up re-
markably we'll.
At the present time approximately five
per cent. of the entire tonnage carried
by the Central Vermont is granite Cen

the greater proportion of the tonnage,
