March 21, 1935

Dear Sir:
In the Board’s letter X-3552 of October 5, 1922, a copy of
which is attached, the Board advised the Federal Reserve banks of
the titles which, for comparative purposes, it v;ould regard as
I

designating official positions and this list has, with one or two
exceptions, been followed since that date.

The exceptions are

the positions of "Economist" and "General Statistician" at one of
the Reserve banks and certain modifications in the titles of
"Auditor" and "Counsel" such as "General Auditor" and "General Coun­
sel".
Recently, the Board was informally advised that the directors
of one of the Federal Reserve banks feel that the position of "Chief
Examiner" in the Federal Reserve Agent’s department should also be
classed as an official position.
The Board appreciates the fact that the activities of the
Federal Reserve banks have changed materially since 1922, particu­
larly in the Federal Reserve Agent's department, and consequently
it may be desirable to revise the list of titles which, for com-

parative purposes, have previously been regarded as designating of­
ficial positions.

Accordingly, it will be appreciated if you will

advise the Board of any changes which in the opinion of your directors
should be made in the list of titles contained in the Board’s letter
of October 5, 1922, together with their reasons for sxich changes.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT: Bank Salaries.

Dear Sir:
Referring to the Board’s letter of August 9, 1922,
X-3500, on the subject of "Bank salaries", in which the Federal
Reserve Banks are requested to prepare and forward to the Board
each year, on or before December 15th, departmental schedules con­
taining the names of all officers and employees arid showing the
present and proposed salaries for each, you are advised that the
Board desires separate lists for heed office ana each branch.
Specimens of the forms on which the Board desires the lists to be
submitted are enclosed herewith.
From time to time in the past the Board has had occasion
to note that reports relating to personnel received from the sev­
eral Federal Reserve Banks and branches have not been compiled on
a strictly comparable basis for the reason that persons performing
similar work have been listed by some banks as officers and by
others as employees. In order to insure uniformity of classifica­
tion at all Reserve Bank,?, there is given below a list of the various
titles which, for comparative purposes, the Board will consider as
designating official positions. Any changes in this list will be
promptly brought to the attention of each Federal Reserve Bank. In
submitting reports to the Board, persons holding such positions
(including those designated to act in that capacity pending the fill­
ing of the position with a permanent appointee) should be classified
as officers, while all others should be included with employees of
the Banking, Federal Reserve Agent's, Auditing, or Fiscal Agency
Departments:

In order that the Board may keep its personnel records
up to date, it should be advised by letter at the end of each
month of the termination of the employment of any officer or em­
ployee receiving $2501, or more per annum. New appointments of of­
ficers and employees at a salary of $2501, or more per annum
should be made subject to the approval of the Federal Reserve Board,
and the Board's approval had before such officer or employee begins
service with the bank.
This letter supersedes all previous requests for state­
ments relating to personnel, and accordingly, it will not be necessary
to submit statements other than those provided for herein unless
specifically called for by the Board.
Very truly yours,

Vice Governor.
