Illinois seeks higher bids for state deposits as $45 million sits idle
State Treasurer John C. Martin extended bid deadlines after 825 Illinois banks submitted proposals for state deposits. Many bids showed no current use and aimed to be ready if markets improve, with average rates from one-eighth to one-half percent on inactive accounts, far below prior boom levels of two percent on active deposits and four percent on inactive. Additionally, Judge Harry Rock will speak at a delinquency prevention conference in Springfield September 27 to 29, sponsored by the State Department of Public Welfare and the Big Brothers Association. Illinois coal output rose in August from July, with 2,753,695 tons produced in 138 mines, compared to 2,911,172 in July 1934 and 2,739,496 in August 1933. Mines employed 1,738 in 18 strip mines, producing 424,046 tons, and 30,04 men in 12 shaft mines produced 2,828,649 tons.
