The sub-committee held a meeting in Cleveland on
October 1, 1928, at which \Vere present, in addition to all
members, Mr. Smead of the Federal Reserve ~oard and.Mr. Rounds
of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Mr. Fleming was
elect.ed Chairman and after reviewing the whole question in
some detail, a letter was written under date of October 9 to
each member of the committee requesting him to submit certain
detailed information regarding each position in his bank. Re~lies received to this letter were carefully analyzed by the
Chairman of the sub-committee and another meeting was held in
Cleveland on Hal'ch 6, 1929. It was the conclusion of the subcommittee that it was not practicable from the data at hand to
work up h proposed plan for submission to the full committee,
as suggested in the ~oard's letter x-6102. The sub-committee
has recommended, however, that a meeting of the complete com-

mittee be held at an early date for the purnose of fully
acquainting each member with the progress of the work so
far and of evolving some classification plan or plans which
will be adaptable to the existing organization of each Federal reserve bank and branch. The sub-committee has advised
the Board that those banks which have been operating under .a
classification ~lan of the character under consideration have
found it so beneficial that they are strongly of the oninion
that all Federal reserve banks would benefit materially from
the ado~tion of a similar plan.
The Board has approved the recommendation of the subcommittee that a meeting of the complete committee be held at
an early date and you are advised that the meeting will be held
in Chicago beginning Monday, Anril 8, 1929.
Very truly yours,

J. C. Noell,
Assistant Secretary.
