(Copies to be sent to all Federal Reserve Banks)
April 24, 1934
Mr. W, W. Hoxton,
Federal Reserve Agent,
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond,
Richmond, Virginia.
Dear Mr. Hoxton:
Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of April
6, 1934, with inclosure, in which you request to be advised whether
a member bank may pay interest on a deposit received on April 2,
1934, for a period beginning April 1, 1934, which was a Sunday.
It is understood that your inquiry relates to deposits which
constitute time or savings deposits within the meaning of the
Board's Regulation Q.
You are advised that the Board will offer no
objection to the payment of interest at a rate not in excess of
that prescribed in Regulation Q, for a period beginning with the
first day of any month, in any case in which such first day falls
on a Sunday or legal holiday, on any time or savings deposit
received on the first business day after such Sunday or holiday
and ending when the deposit is actually withdrawn or ceases to
conform to the definition of a time or savings deposit as contained in the Board's Regulation Q, whichever shall first occur.




Very truly yours,

(Signed)

Chester Morrill
Chester Morrill,
Secretary.
