Northern Indiana to Have An Atlantic City.

Chicago and northern Indiana are to have a miniature Atlantic City on the shores of Lake Michigan. This fact was assured last week when H. J. Kavanaugh and M. E. Moriarity, Chicago case owners, leased 22 acres of lake frontage just north of Hammond beach on which they will erect a large dining room, case and recreapiers. The main dining room will be an elaborate affair, 20 feet long and 100 feet wide, with a veranda opening onto the lake. The owners plan to serve high class sea foods to‘motorists traveling on the Indianapolis road between Chicago and Indiana towns. To the north of the dining room and connected with it a large glass pier will extend into the lake for 260 feet. This pier will be used as a dancing pavilion and, according to the owners, will be equal to anything that the New Jersey resort can boast. A bathing beach one-half mile long will be built north of the pier. Ground will be broken for the project in the near future, and ie is expeoted that the resort will open about April 1, 1916. Over SIOO,OOO will be invested in the enterprise.
