LOCATION OF PLANTS

 The accompanying map (fig. 1) shows the location of active lime plants in
the United States that reported to the Bureau of Mines for 1940. The largest
demands for building lime, as well as for that used in the chemical and processing
industries, are in populous industrial centers. This explains the intensive
development of lime plants in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Ohio. The metropolitan
areas of Boston, New York, and Washington, D. C., are notably lacking in
lime plants because limestone deposits are not available in these terri-~
tories. The following nine States had no lime plants reporting activity in
1940: New Hampshire, Delaware, South Carolina, Mississippi,
