FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
WASHINGTON
ADDRESS OFFICIALCORRESPONDENCE TO
THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
X-9190
April 29, 1935.

Dear Sir*
The Jury to judge the competition for a building for the
Federal Reserve Board will meet in Washington on May 16th and 17th.
The Federal Reserve Board plans to hold a meeting on May
18th to receive the Report of the Jury and award the Prize of the
competition.

Telegrams will be sent on that date to all competing

architects advising them of the Board’s action.
On Monday, May 20th, there will be a meeting of the Federal
Commission of Fine Arts, at which time it is hoped that the premiated
drawings for the proposed Federal Reserve Building may be presented
to the Commission.

It is desirable that the architect of the draw­

ings premiated as above be available in Washington to meet with the
Commission of Fine Arts on Monday, May 20th, to explain and comment
upon the drawings for the proposed building.
I am therefore suggesting at this time that each of the com­
petitors make arrangements for the prompt delivery to him of the
telegraphic advice of the Board's action on May 18th and so that if
possible he can be in Washington on Monday, May 20th, in the event

of his selection as the Board's architect.
It is felt desirable that the approval of the Fine Arts Com­
mission be obtained as promptly as possible in ordef that, once the
competition is judged and the winning design premiated, the project
may progress without delay.




Very truly yours,

EVERETT V. MEEKS
Professional Adviser.
