Quayle of Lake Bluff, secretary of the Lake County Law and Order league: The following on “Problem: of Crime in Lake County; Chicngo and Lake County," is in I Ietttr 30 the Nearly all out problems arise through Chicago being so near. The recent massacre of three men and the desperate wounding of two other: at Fox lake was exclusively a Chi. “no affair, though it took place in Lake county. it wu I Chicago rum- running group who were killed, also those who did the killing hailed from the same city. Same time ago. men came to our sheritf who wished to open a track and run doe races, of course with wholesale gambling, near Waukegan, They were prominent, powerful and represented great wealth; and told him he was not considering his own financial interests when he refused. Propositions Ire made constantly to the states attorney and sheriff to 'ipen up great gambling dens, houses at prnstitution, not down in s. Mar- ket street, but in the very heart of Waukegan. So far they have be'ett fought successfully. Sometimes they have opened in spite of our county Mrieials, but have been closed by heavy fines and jailed until the fines were paid. . _ Waukegan is growing rapidly, has a wonderful future before it. The l'. S. Government has recognized its ,atroyrie value and has vnted large funds to develop a great harbor. It will probably become the sweond city in the State. The part of the county south of the Naval station is to be, in fact already is. the premier resi- dence district of the State and well do the bootletttters know it. t Some time no, criminal agents of the Gangsters stayed in Waukegan and sought to control the bootlegging business of the cnunty by means of the newspapers. The scheme totally failed, but they are not less deter.. mined, Lust week a great still- was seized near Volts, also quantities of ingredients to make $10r000 of boot. leg whisky.

Total Bank Deposits in Chicago Is $3,000,000,000 A history of the struggles made by early Chicago banks in the face of unusual hardships is far trom appar- ent in the colossal strength of the in- stitutiuns which today make the city the tiruutcial center of the Mid-West, the Chicago Association of Commerce points out. . It was not until 1835 that any reg- ular banking facilities were offered in what then was a struggling vii. Inge, the outgrowth of Fort Dear- born. In that year the Second Bank of the State of Illinois we: persuaded to establish a branch here. Opposi- tion developed, however, and in 1840 the state legislature decreed that the Chicago branch of the bank should be removed from the city. . First authentic records show that in 1855-56 there was employed in banking in Chicago by private bank- ers, brokers and incorporated banks a total capital fund of $670,000. Since then, the city's importance as a bank. ing center has increased by leaps and bounds. Total bank deposits at the present time approximate $3,000,- 000,000. T f The second largest of the 12 Fed. eral Reserve banks is located in Chi- cago, This bank has rendered inval- uable service to its member banks of the rich agricultural and manu- facturing sectinns which comprise its district. The mystery surrounding the strange road markers recently no- ticed throughout the Chicago area has been solved, the Chicago Association of Commerce announces. The signs, such as "BK," "QN" and "BG," metwly designate tratfie "short cuts” from one section of the city or Me- tropolitan area to another. Forty- two such routes have been selected. Maps explaining them are being printed and soon will be distributed free at newspaper offices and motor club touring bureaus throughout Chi- cago and the Middle West. New Traffic Marks on Routes Are Explaingd Thursday, August 7, 1930 Sincerely. _ T. R. Quayle.
