SUBJECT:

Determination of Outlying D i s t r i c t f o r Purpose of
Reserve Reduction.

Dear S i r :
You a r e hereby advised that the Federal Reserve Board
has approved the following recommendation of the recent conference
of Federal Reserve Agents:
"That the Federal Reserve Board in determining
whether a member bank located in an outlying d i s t r i c t of a reserve or c e n t r a l reserve c i t y should
be permitted to carry reduced reserves as provided in Section 19, Federal Reserve Act, should be
guided in each instance by the r e s u l t s of an analy s i s of the character of the business of the app l i c a n t member bank or of a l l the bajiks of the
neighborhood group showing a proportion of (1) Balances due other banks
(2) Balances of corporations
(3) Public deposits
(4) Cash in v a u l t s . "
You a r e f u r t h e r advised that the Federal Reserve Board
has ruled that a bank applying f o r a reduction in reserves under
the provisions of Section 19 must have been a member of the Fede r a l Reserve System and i n operation as such f o r a period of a t
l e a s t one year p r i o r to the date of such application*
Very t r u l y yours,

Walter L. Eddy,
Secretary.
TO ALL FEDERAL RESERVE AGENTS
