Shipments by Federal Reserve Banks of Fit and
Unfit Federal Reserve Notes

Dear Sir:
At the recent Governors* Conference i t was voted
that each Federal Reserve Bank should absorb the cost of
shipments of f i t as well as unfit Federal Reserve notes of
other Federal Reserve Banks, except the cost of insurance.
The Board approves and suggests that banks begin as of
January 1, 1$22 to absorb the costs of such shipments.
The Conference also voted to submit to the Board
for i t s approval the matter of the Federal Reserve Banks
settling shipments of uother,f Federal Reserve notes through
the Federal Reserve Board in a manner similar to the
present daily settlement of collected funds through the
gold settlement fund* The Governor of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Chicago was authorized by the Conference to work.,
out and submit to the Board for i t s approval a plan by
which such settlement could be. effected. The plan submitted by Governor McDougal appears to be satisfactory and
in the course of the next few days all Federal Reserve
Banks will be advised as to the details thereof and advice
will be given also of the date upon which the Board w i l l be
ready to begin handling the settlements*
Very truly yours,

Governor,

To the Governors of a l l Federal Reserve Banks*
