FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD

June 6, 1916.

Dear Sir:
At the meeting of the Federal Reserve Board
on June third., 1916, the question of a re-hearing of
the Connecticut bankers was discussed and I am in­
structed to inform you that, while the Board is will­
ing to give the Connecticut hankers another hearing
in the month of June if they should so desire, the
Board prefers to postpone such hearing add definite
action until after the summer months.
A new clearing plan is about to be put into
operation and the Board has been assured by those in
charge of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank that every
effort will be made, by making special arrangements
between Boston and New York, to satisfy the conveni­
ence of the Connecticut banks *
Under the circumstances the Board would pre­
fer to see the results of operation of the new clearing
plan before giving a further hearing, but, as stated
above, in case the Connecticut banks should wish to be
heard at this time in spite of the information above
given, the Board will be pleased to fix the date.




Yours truly.

Governor.
