BIG FUTURE DEMANDS
BLOOMINGTON, lnd., Jan. 14 —Firry
millions of dollars ere needed by In
diana companies suppiyin teiepnone,
gas, -water, light and traction ser
vices to meet present and immediate
future demands for expansion to mi
the needs of the State, accord
ing to Frank K. Bohn, of the Home
Telephone and Telegraph Company, ot
Ft. Wayne. Mr. Bohne made tms estimate
today in an address before a Joint meet
ing of the Indiana Fuoiic Utility Asso
ciation and the school of commerce ana
Fnance of Indiana University. He spoue
on the subject •\Frobleji*d'’of Expansion
Confronting UtllljJg**''^
“Much needed Expansion was arrested
or deferred during the war because or
Inability to obtain adequate rates, ' said
Mr. Bohn. / “Now we anticipate a
splendid reyival of business. vv e can
take our p&rt In If, the puDiic utility
Industry must expand and extend
facilities, 'ine problem is, how snail we
obtain the money with which to bring
about this expansion
'The annual meeting or the Fuonc
Utility Association opened today with
the election of officers for lain.'. Charles
L. Henry of Indianapolis, head of the
Indianapolis &. Cincinnati Traction Cos.
was relected president. 'The other or
ttcers chosen were S. Ti. Mullhoilanfl, it.

diana Gas and Electric Company, ana
F. J. Haa3 of Evansville, general man
ager of the Southern Indiana uas and
Electric Company, as vice presidents;
Marshall V. Kobb, of the Wabash valley
Electric Company, of Clinton, as sec
retary ; Charles C. Ferry, president or
the Indianapolis Eight and Heat com
pany, as treasurer and John C. Meuett,
of Indianapolis, as executive secretary.
Following luncheon a Joint session was
held with the School ot Commerce and
Fnance, the program including an ad
dress by Arthur W. Brady of Anderson,
president of the Union Traction company
of Indiana, on “Utilities and the Fuo
lle.’’ F. A. Bryan of South Bend, Fresl
tient of the Indiana and Michigan
Electric Company, on "Customer own
ership;” Howard A. Hill, of the Klcfi
mond Water Works Company, on “Tne
Utility Eoad as an Indication or in
dustrial Conditions,’’ and Heaa W. A.
llawies, of the School of Coinmefcs and
Finance, on "Lniterslty Training for a
Business Career.”
At a dinner tonight Edgar Blessing, oi
the public service wm be the cmei
speaker.
Mr. Bohn, reading a paper prepared
after careful study of tne utility situa
tion, said:
“In the face of the most discouraging
conditions and circumstances, utility men
have struggled and fought the past few
years to measure up to our responsibilities
to render service to our old customers
and to expand and enlarge our properties
whenever and wherever In the public in
terest. In spite of the fact that during
the war most of us were losing money
while other businesses were making large
profits, because our rates for service were
fixed and our expenses, or the cost of fur
nishing that service, were increasing as
prices soared, we not only carried on, but
wherever in the public interest we con
sidered it necessary, we expanded if pos
sible—not as extensively as we should,
looking to the future and its needs, but
as best we could under the circumstances.
Much needed expansion, therefore, was of
necej iity arrested or deferred during tbei
war.
“And today we find ourselves in a posi
tion of working our plants to capacity
and a demand for our respective services
both present and future which we cannot
supply unless we add to our facilities—
unless we expand—all of which requires
capii al.
“We are all looking hopefully and con
fidentially forward to anew era of pros
perity, possibly unexcelled in the coun
try's history. How -mon it may come
none can successfully prophesy. We can
not overlook the truth, however, that all
signs point to the fact that we are nov
standing on the threshold of a revival of
business. The state or community that
awakens to the vita! necessity of its pub
lic utilities, to its progress and economic
development, and encourages the neces
sary expansion of those utilities by in
sisting that they get a square deal at the
hands of the regulatory body will be the
firs; to respond to the effects of renewed
prosperity, because a State, community
or city can never grow faster than her
utilities or extend further than they reach
The prosperity of a city or town, its
alertness, its up-to-date methods, its
progresslveners. in fact, its very char
acter are reflected directly to the extent
that they exist in its utilities. Likewise,
show me a city with brokendown, un
healthy and restricted utilities and I shall
show you a city living in the backwoods
of civilization with no parks and improved
streets and alleys, unkept homes and un
improved public buildings, a lack of civic
pride and self-respect, and withal a slip
shod. shiftless, dozing, indifferent popula
tion, a mighty poor and unattractive place
to live and do business. Help your utili
ties, therefore, to finance their expansion
In the realization than their financial
standing is as viral to the life and de
velopment of your ccmmunify as its bank
or any other agency. Permit the utilities,
therefore, to develop and expand and the
city will follow. No city can build be
yond the lines of her street railways, or
the area covered by her teleuhune and
electric light leads and gas and water
mains.
“Your local community, in most eases,
can not supply the necessary capital
required by your utilities for expansion.
Therefore, the financial necessities of de
velopment carry us to foreign fields for
money. This foreign capital must be
forthcoming if the community is to grow
and it will be forthcoming if the inves
tor knows that the public of that com
munity is back of it utilities, that invest
ments in its utilites wl! be respected, that
the State regulatory body will grant rates
that will allow for unforeseen emer
gencies as well as current operating ex
penses and enable them to earn a rea
sonable return on the money invested
therein, without the least shadow of a
doubt, without paring and cutting legiti
mate operating expenses to the bone at
the sacrifice of service and good business !
practice. Otherwise, it will look for fields
where it can expect such treatment.
“The problem of expansion of public
utilities is mostly a financial one and
so closely is its solution related to the
interests of the average citizen that it
becomes the community's problem as well
as that of the utility.”

interesting events of the dramatic season
in Indianapolis, will be the engagement
of Henry Miller and Blanche Bates, In
“The Famous Mrs. Fair,” which opens at
English's on Monday evening, Jan. 23, and
continuing for three days, with a matinee
on Wednesday.
These two stars are among popular
and talented players on the American
stage today, and their coming visit is of
especial interest in view of the fact that
they are to appear in the four-act play
by James Forbes, which has to its credit
runs of an entire year at Henry Miller's
Theater, New York City, four months
at the Blackstone Theater, Chicago, and
highly successful engagements in the

Jazz, a considerable number of tinkling
toes and the like. There is a story—and
a very interesting one—and some jing
ly music and rather ingratiating lyrics.
But after all it is an indefinable some
thing which makes for success in all
such plays that has an important bear
ing in this particular case. There is
much commendable material in this
play which Joseph M. Galtes produces,
and it seems to have made a strong ap
peal already.
Samuel Shipman, the indefatigable an.
thor, who, when he Is not giving out
interviews is writing plays, alone and in
pairs, Individually and in collaboration,
has anew one in town. “Lawful Lar
ceny,” comes out with the colors of A.
H. Woods, and is as usual, excellent
cast and staged. Gail Kane, Loweli
Sherman, Marguerite Lawrence, Allan
Dinehart, John Stokes, Frazer Coulter,
and others are included. The story is
simply and direct. It is all about a
young wife who returns home to find
her husband enmeshed with an adven
turess and her immediate entrance into
the fray herself with all her resources,
including invading the domain of the ad
venturess as a secretary. The rest may
be imagined from these brief lines. The
acting is skillful, of course, and the
play Is effective of Its kind.

Whitford Kane will act the title role
in “The Pigeon” next month. He cre
