output. More than 1 million tons each was reported from Suffolk, Nassau,
Broome, Cattaraugus, Dutchess, Oneida, Monroe, Erie, and Ontario Counties
in decreasing order of tonnage. 
 The following sand and gravel plants received citations from the National
Safety Competition for having had no disabling work injuries during 1967:
The Alfred Station Plant, Buffalo Slag Co., Alfred Station, Allegany County;
Barneveld Plant, Eastern Rock Products, Oneida; Boonville Plant, Eastern
Rock Products, Oneida; J. 
J. Harrington Plant, Cayuga; Clifton Springs Plant, DeWitt Concrete Corp.,

 Stone—Totai stone production dedecreased 2 percent, but the total
value increased 4 percent more than in 1966. Stone was the second most valuable
mineral commodity produced in the State. Most of the decrease in production
was in crushed limestone but an increase in price per ton of crushed limestone
contributed to the total increase in value. Dutchess County ranked first
in value among the State's 38 stone-producing counties, followed by Rockland,
Onondaga, and Erie. Sixteen
