Complete Liquor License Statistics In
Census Bureaus Report.

Washington, d. c., March 8.-There
was in 1907 a decrease of 6 per cent
in the number of saloons throughout
the country, according to the U. S.
Census Bureaus forthcoming report
on the statistics of the 158 largest
cities which had a population of over
10000 each that year.
The report, prepared by chief of d.
vision E. H. Mailing, contains com
plete statistics of the number OF liquor
%licensus in force at the close OF the
license year in each of the cities and
the number of inhabitants to each
dealer selling liquor by the drink.
More than one fourth of such deal
ers in the 15S largest cities were re-
ported from New York and Chicago;
the cities of wei 500, 600 population
with the smallest number of saloons
were Washington (521) and Pittsburg
(S1S). In cities of this class. the
largest number of saloons in proper
ton to the population were in Mil
waukee and New Orleans where, in
the former. there was one dealer SELL
ing liquor by the drink TO every 142
inhabitants and, in the latter, TO ev-
cry 200 inhabitants. The number of
inhabitants to every dealer in Phila-
delphia was 761, and in Boston 73S.
The other cities having less than 200
inhabitants 10 each dealer were Gal
weston (134); East ST. Louis C143),
Mobile (153), Houston 15S), Hoboken
C63) Sacramento, Calf. 1SS), San
Antonio 179), La Crosse, Wisconsin
0S3). Springfield. ILL.,, 0SS), AMI West

The smallest number of saloons IN
proportion to population is shown
for the cities of Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts,, and the largest for
those of Texas, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
In comparing the number OF retail
LIQUOR dealers in 141 cities reporting

WORK PROGRESSING
Hundreds Visit the Place Where Mar
tinsburg's Latest Industry Is
Rapidly Being Constructed.

From The World OF Monday:
Yesterday being an ideal spring day
with bright sunshine. hundreds of
Martinsburgers took advantage OF 1t.
and journeyed to the new quarries of
the Blair Limestone Company, TO view
has already assumed proportions of
large magnitude.
One of the large buildings, contain
ing eleven kilns has been completed
for some time and they have been
fired and now burn daily a large
quantity of lime which is being ship
ped to the Jones, Laughlin Co., at
Pittsburg. This building is n of four
that the company intends erecting for
the burning of lime, and a second.
with eight kilns, is rapidly nearing
completion.
Two large quarries have been open
ed, from which the limestone is being
secured, and the company owns land
enough in that section, and has option
on still more, that will keep the plant
In operation for many years to come.
The buildings are of large dimen-
| sions and the kilns are of huge size,
holding tons upon tons of stone at a
burning, and the plant promises TO be
the largest in this section, their huge
buildings being a forerunner Of the
amount OF work to be done.
Besides the burning of lime. a large
building has been finished (and more
are to be erected) in which Is a big
crusher, for the crushing of stone for
tops of the buildings which carry the
stone, by trucks, 10 the kilns and
crusher into which same is dumped.
A number Of other buildings have
been erected around the main struc-
ture. viz, an electric generating plant,
pump house, hosting buildings. COM
missary store, boarding house. a num-
Der of dwellings and shanties for the
workmen. and the Baltimore and Ohio
has built a small station just above
the Opequon, which is to be known as
Blair.
About 200 hands are now employed
and many of them were working yes
terday, the company pushing the
work, desirious of getting under full
blast as soon as possible. Ii is said
about 800 men will eventually be en-
ployed.
The quarrias are about three miles
from Martinsburg, about a half mile
from the main line of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad at the Opequon, and
are just about half way between the
railroad bridge over the creek and the
Schoppert Ford bridge. 1t is just a
nice walk from Martinsburg and the
coming pretty Sundays will find hum
dreds %journeying there by foot, also by
conyeyances to see the progress of
what promises to be the creates un-
dertaking in stone-quarrying in Berk-
eley county.

INTEREST PAID BY CITIES.
Those In Southland West Were
CHARGED the Hiuhest Rates,


Washington, d. c., March 8.-The
rate of interest paid by cities on their
interest-bearing debt at the close OF
the fiscal year 1907, depended largely
upon geographic location, the cities in
the west and south paying on the ay-
erage a higher rate of interest than
those in the northeastern section of
the country. according to the U. s..
Census Bureaus forthcoming report
on the statistics of the 1913 cities in
the United States which had a popula.
ton Of over 10000 each at the time
mentioned.
The highest average interest rates
were:
In cities of over 100000 population,
Al per cent in chicago, Cleveland,
Milwaukee and New Orleans; in cities
of from 100, 900 to $780, 900 population.
"a per cen in Denver; in cities Of
from sc, 900 to 10000 population. 5.5
per cent in Tacoma, Wash; in cities o.
from 10000 to 3 5000 population, SIS
per zen in Birmingham, Ala.
The corresponding lowest rates
were 80 per cent in Washington, 3.6
per cent in Providence, 3.6 per cent
in Hartford, and &c per cent in Bing-
hamton ard Elmira, New York. The
unusually low rate in Washington was
due to a large amount of temporary
loans bearing only 2 per cent interest.
The interest rate on the funded debt
of that city was 3.6 per cent. OF the
cities of over 10000 population, Phil
adelphia paid the lowest average rate
