SAYS FINANCIAL
SITUATION SOUND
Comptroller of Currency Issues
Review of Resources.
NO REASON FOR PESSIMISM
John Shelton Williams Gives Out a
Highly Optimistic Report on Con-
ditions in the United States
Clouds Si!ver-Lined.

Washington, July 31.-"There is alb
solutely no justification for the spirit
of pessimism and uneasiness prevalent
in business and financial circles in
many sections of the United States
today"
This was the declaration of Comp
troller Of the Currency, John Shelton
Williams, in a highly optimistic re-
view of the financial situation as
shown by official reports from all ma
tional banks on the call Of June 80.
High Costs Reduced.
1.-THE action Of the federal reserve
banks IN restricting extension of cred
it for unessentials and luxuries and in
encouraging increased production OF
commodities most needed" the comp
troller's statement continues, has
been distinctly beneficial and has, it
is believed, been material influence
in reducing the high cost of living far
and wide.
ALTHOUGH the application of the
brakes seems to have had Earring
effect upon some nervous systems, and
has occasioned unfounded fears Of
money panic and commercial crisis,
there are in our country, abundant
reasons for confidence and encourag-
ment as to the future"
Banks Well Fortified
In about twO-thirds Of the reserve
and central reserve cities there has
been a distinct tendency towards liq-
uidation and reduction in bank loans,
Comptroller Williams states. Increases
in loans were confined almost ex-
clusively to the Eastern and CleYe!and
districts.
1.-THE reduction in loans has natural
ly been accompanied by decline in
deposits" it is explained, "but the ag-
gregate of bank resources at this time
is still at high level, and the nation
al banks of the country are in par
ticularly strong and well-fortified po-
sition"

Wisconsin's Southern Boundary

The Ordinance of 1897 intended
that Wisconsin's Southern boundary
should run from the southern end
of Lake Michigan to the Mississippi.
Although Illinois in 1918 obtained
her northern counties from the then
unsettled region west of Lake Mich
igan, many attempts were later made
to establish the Original boundar-
les" of Wisconsin. Two several sur
veys were made, during the decade
of the forties, to ascertain the, COR
dinance line" One of these is said
to have coincided with what is now
