Subject: Estimating Population of Toms and. Cities
in which State Banks applying for membership are located.

Dear S i r : -

In connection with your campaign for State Bank
memberships, i t may be of interest to you to know that the
Federal Reserve Board, in considering applications from
State Banks for membership in the Federal Reserve System
pursuant to the provisions of Section 9
the Federal
Reserve Act, has decided to accept estimates of the population of the towns or cities in which the applying banks
are located as shown by the last official ceneus, whether
national, State, county or municipal, unless there is good
reason to believe that the figures are incorrect, in which
event an estimate of the population will be made through
means of local data supported by affidavits, as heretofore.




Very truly yours,

Governor.

Letter to Chairmen of all F,R. Banks*
