WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1925 FORETELLS BIG INDUSTRY BOOM Insull Sees Great Progress in This Section Samuel Insull, who has been inti- mately associated with the growth of Chicago and the surrounding territory for many years believes industries in increasing numbers soon will locate in the smaller towns of Illinois and particularly in those of northeastern Illinois. Plentiful electric power and fair transportation will be the only req- uisite a town needs to secure one or more substantial manufacturing plants, in his opinion. This promise of continued and ad- ditional growth for northeastern Illi- nois, where electric power develop- ment has proceeded at a rapid pace, was held out by Mr. Insull in a recent speech at Waukegan before 600 rep- resentative citizens of Lake county. Apropo of this subject, Mr. Insull said : "The general trend of population throughout this country for a number of years has been toward the centers. I am inclined to think that the de- velopment of all these various ad- vantages for use by the people resi- dent in the country were but a few years ago enjoyed only by those resi- dent of the city, that it is quite possi- ble that the trend of population--cer- tainly so far as the country immedi- ately around large centers of popula- tion is concerned--will be toward the country in the years to come rather than toward the city. "One of the most successful manu- facturers in this country--in fact one of the most successful manufacturers in the world--probably is Henry Ford, and for several years past his effort has been directed to the acquiring of property and water rights wherever he found the population dense enough to justify the purchase. His intention eventually is to make the various parts of his. machine at different points and then to assemble them into whole machines in centers of population. It is a recognition on his part that there is no reason why manufacturing, to the extent of the population available for such work, cannot be done to bet- ter advantage in the country, provid- ing there are cheap power and fair transportation facilities. Jt can be done to better advantage there than where population is massed in enor- mous aggregates. "I think you will find that that ten- dency will go on throughout this coun- try as manufacturing facilities are de- manding it and that the greater in- dustries--what you might call the pri- mary industries--will be located around the larger and smaller cities, especially in the Mississippi Valley along the Great Lakes where lake transportation is very cheap, and the secondary industries will be developed in the country extending further in- land, providing, I repeat, there is cheap power and fair transportation."

The plan is similar to the system in use in Maryland where motorists signs when they are entering the thir- ty-five-mile-an-hour zone as well as are advised by conspicuous yellow when they are entering ones calling for reduced speed. Explaining the position the A. A. taken by ing increased speed on the highways, Richard Haldeman, chairman of the A. A. A. Good Roads Board, declared that increased speed is as logical and as unavoidable as increased traffic. He is of the opinion that the real danger lies in the delay in the proper regulation of such speed. "Motorists must be allowed to drive faster over the highways, but the mo- tor vehicle officers and public author- ities must designate the higher speed zones," Mr. Haldeman said. "Accord- ingly, the A. A. A. proposes to ask the various highway departments to notify travelers where they may speed up or where they must slow down. "The present laws with respect to speed of motor vehicles are so out of date as the hand crank. They are directly responsible for many of the highway accidents and much of the highway confusion."
