INSULL SEES EXPANSIONS FOR CHICAGO His Vision Stretches City Out Over Northern Indiana. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Dee, 23.—Breathing optimism and hope, picturing Chicago as the greatest industrial development in history, Samuel Insull, the nation’s leading utility barOn, sees tjie midwest metropolis as a city with no end in sight as to possibilities add invention. The Chicago of which Insult speaks will include a city which sweeps along one hundred miles of the shore of Lake Michigan from Waukegan on the north to Michigan City, Ind., on the south. He pictured this city to 500 bankers and utility men, who had made him their guest. He reviewed the history of greater Chicago, its electric, gas and transportation development. Great Things Predicted He told the story of a billion dollars invested, the romance of super-power, dollars and brains, rising above the mysteries of life. In all he offered promising gems of financial achievements that glittered in his talk like diamonds in a bag, and yet he predicted greater things for the future. Transportation came in for particular stress. His main point in the discussion of transportation was “give it an equal chance.” He said it would develop and prosper with the community as the other utilities had “if local interferences” were re moved and “economic absurdities” overcome. Visions Site “If the other branches of local public utility business thrive under the same conditions so far as regulation is concerned, but without local interference, the transportation business can be run in the same way," Insull declared. Development' of trasportation was the only “dark spot” in his speech. Insull visions the site of the great basic industries of the midwest in Indiana and Wisconsin. "The great basic industries,” he said, “will probably for all time be to the south of us in Indiana, and to the north of us in Wisconsin. But the market place of this vast territory, as well as its banking center will be Chicago. HOOSIER ASKS MONEY Indiana Building Appropriations Provided for in Bills.
