Federal Reserve Board, Washington, D. C. Attention: Dr. E. A. Goldenweiser Chairman, Committee on Branch, Group and Chain Banking. Gentlemen: Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of the 26,' with reference to the expenses incurred in obtaining information on failed banks and the changes in banks by states in this district. When I wrote you that we expected only a nominal cost for obtaining information with respect to failed banks in Virginia, I felt reasonably certain that the information could be gotten by correspondence from the various county seats where the receivers filed their reports. This was attempted without success and it was necessary for Mr. Ritchie, one of the Virginia State Sank Examiners, to visit almost every county seat in counties where state bank failures had occurred. He had to travel from one end of the state to the other, and, in our opinion, the charge of $507.64 is considerably less than it would have cost us to gather the information which was obtained by Mr. Ritchie. In the case of South Carolina we found the examiner had greatly underestimated the cost of obtaining information needed to fill up the schedules on failed banks, and for this reason we agreed to give him $750, for the job for which he originally intended we should pay him $500. Mr. Fant, the State Bank Examiner, told W. Hoxton and me that it actually cost the State Department around $1,000, but that the information was worth something to his department and that he would be satisfied with $750. We did not feel under the circumstances that we should hold him to his original estimate of $500. Very trul your J. Cr.

Sixty of these schedules show nothing as to what disposition was made of the bank after closing. Of the 67 banks which are now in process of lirluidation the schedules on those which failed prior to 1927 (15 banks) do not report either claims or payments. Very few of the schedules give any information as to assessments after suspension and practically none record the assessments prior to suspension. Generally speaking the North Carolina schedules are far from satisfactory. South Carolina The following 2uotation from Mr. Fry's letter of January 26, 1931, relative to the South Carolina suspension schedules probably explains the high expense of their preparation. "The State Department of South Carolina has gone to a tremendous expense in order to obtain the information as renorted.

The other group consists of 800 nntional banks which were in existence on November 15, 1920, but have since suspended. Vie nsked for these 800 banks the call report of November 15, 1920. The data which we want to take from these reports when they come over is the same as that shown on pages 36-38 of Volume I of the Comptroller's report for 1920. This material shoolu be ooapiled by states as well as by size of bank, size of community, etc. Smead understands the type of analysis which i have in mind here. If these reports came over in my absence, maybe you can make arrangements to proceed with the tabulations. Mr. Fleming is sending us six cories of his study on "Non-banking Competition in the tate of Ohio.' When they arrive, will you please prepare for Dr. Goldenweiser's signature a letter to each of the ?ederal re. 10aAy and Dallas asking them to prepare similar serve banks Chicago, Kan221 each of these Oanks a copy of Fleming' reoort as a studies. Send to however, to aavise them that it is not necessary in all guide. 3e sure, respects to be as elaborate as Cleveland was. The important points are a statisticel story of the growth of competing instit4iona as ctaaparod Taws covering such with banks, a summary of the principal provisions 1 ! institotions, and perhaps some testimony from banks s as to the kird of competition they are meeting and its effects. Fleming's study is na,Aricted almost entirely to building and loan associations. In the other districts, however, they shoold give attention ta other competing institutions, such as intermediate credit banks, federal 1-.nd banks, etc. You will probably want to read rather carefully Fleming's report before you prepare the lettor to the other reserve lainks in order thnt you may 00tament aore /7 fully on the important features. eikai c VAAle Mvans wants to take a vacation of three libeker without pay of course vallessAsseiesseedsmd.ayaMsarsdaa-ZettassrpseNe-Irea---1-ammatet s_wescapiltr- Please check up the date with her and notify Mr. aounds several days before the date that she will be off the pay roll for the three **Co.

Mr. Riddle Mr. Mistr spoke to me about getting some clerical assitAance in some of his work. This will be 0. V. if it can be arranged, but under no conditions do I want the tabul!tions on slsnension schedules to suffer. If at any time the work seems to require it, I suggest that :,ou emnloy an additional clerk or two. We :mast keep all these projects going, and it would be uneconomical to tolerate any delay becatu.e of lack of clerical help. Miss Hamill will loOk after all incomina. mail and distribute it to the proper parties. The merely routine letters, such as acknowledgments, etc., should be prepared for your signature, but all other letters for Dr. Goldenweiser's signature. 'ince Mr. wickens has been in the hospital ever since me made the arrangement with him to do some work for the Comlittee, -re have not put him on the pay roll as yet. As soon as he is well and rrady to begin work we will appoint him a member of the staff for a period of three months. Miss Hammill can show you from the files what our arrangement is with Mr. Wickens. He will probably be ready to hove the appointment made before I return, in. which case you will, of course, take care of the matter and make the proper notification to Dr. Goldenweiser and Mr. Rounds. 1,:r. Wickens needs at lenst one clerical assistant on this work, ana it is my understanding he will attend to securing such an assistant. In that case you will, of courre, see thnt the assistant is placed on the Committee's nay roll at the proper date. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Man 21, 1931.

It seems, however, that since that time Mr. Wills has been shifted from Washington to Connellsville and makes the latter place his headquarters. When he is away from Connellsville, therefore, he is allowed transoortation and subsistence. When I asked Mr. Polger of the Comptroller's office if he would get someone to prepare these schedules, he suggested that he might get Yr. Wills because of his previous experience in preparing sched,Iles, but did not speak of the chance in Mr. Wills status or 'mention the fact that this would necessitate paying his transportation and subsistence.

We felt that Mr. Galphin would --get more complete information and agreed to allow him the stated amount for each report, which we thought was reasonable; in fact, this is much less than it would have been had we had our representative remain in Tallahassee on expense long enough to complete the reports. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Very truly yours, , Federal Reserve Agent. enclosure. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YO R K January 3, 1931. mr.

Dear Mr. Goldenweiser: Your letter of yesterday is received regarding the prorating of the expenses of the two system committees. I am asking our Accounting Department to prepare early in December a separate statement of the expense of each committee up to and including November 30. These statements will be submitted to you and Mr. Smead respectively, and it can then be decided whether it will be best to prorate the expense already accrued this year, or to let it go over. Personally I have no very strong feeling in the matter one way or the other, since the amounts will not be very great, but there is probably something to be said in favor of having the banks absorb the expense in the year in which it was incurred.

As the amounts are relatively small it makes little difference whether or not the amounts are prorated among the banks this year.

Dear Mr. Goldenweiser: Our Accounting Department call my attention to the fact that we have disbursed up to this time as expenses of the two committees on Bank Reserves and Group, Branch and Chain Banking approximately $5,600. and $11,800. respectively, and raise the question as to whether we should prorate this expense among the other Federal Reserve Banks before December 31 this year, or whether we should let it run until the work of the committees is finished. Since this will be an expense to all of the banks, it seems to me it would be more advisable to distribute it this year than to carry it over into next year, but before taking any steps in the matter would like to have your views about it. If it is decided to distribute it this year, my suggestion would be that we have a statement of the expenses prepared for submission to the chairmen of the committees early in December, say including expenses up to November 50, after which the banks could be advised as to their prorata shares. If for any reason it seems desirable, however, we have no objection to carrying it over to next year. Very truly yours, LAL https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis L. R.

Hammond Committee on Branch, Group and Chain Banking Federal Reserve Board Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Hammond: Your letter of August 23 is received enclosing copy of Mr. McClure's letter regarding the bearing of the expense of the preparation of reports covering suspended banks. I have dictated an acknowl- edgment to Mr. McClure which would be what I would send him. It says a little more than yours in some respects, and less in others, but it is noncommittal, and I should think in the circumstances would be the best way of handling the matter since it defers a final decision until there shall have been a meeting of the committee. The committee will, of course, need to give consideration to this matter, but my present thought is that by the time the committee gets around to consider it we shall have heard from all of the banks as to their views, and will also have some idea of the total cost and how it divides itself, so that we will be in a better position to determine whether a reimbursement to all banks which incur an expense with an assessment against them prorata as to size, will represent any better treatment of the expense than to let each bank pay for the expense which may be incurred in its district. Very truly yours, LAL En c. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis L. R. Rounoes Deputy_64mtel.ftor--- ilk ql, DRAFT OF LETTER TO BE SEAT TO R. MC CLUJ?: Your letter of August 20 is received advising that you have requested the Oklahoma Bank Commissioner to proceed with the work of preparing the reports covering suspended state banks in Oklahoma. In the last paragraph of your letter you have asked whether the several reserve banks would be expected to assume the cost of this work, or whether the committee would reimburse the banks. It had, I think, been the original thought of the committee thayince its work was being done as an expense of the system as a whole, tempt each reserve bank would assume such part of the cost as might result from work to be done in its district; but if this results in placing an unequal burden upon the reserve banks, the committee would no doubt ”ndp, -trIke te make such an adjustment as would distribute the cost eouitably. No decision has been reached, however, as to just what would be done, and since Mr. Goldenweiser and Mr. Smead are both absent from Washington on vacation at the present time I am afraid I cannot answer your question positively. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis LVery truly yours, tAr tv. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis 2 /44 REC'D AUG 26 1920 L https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis • Telephone District 2760 • BuRROUGHS ADDING MACHINE COMPANY BURROUGHS BUILDING 724 Seventeenth Street N.

On the afternoon of Thrusday, August 14th, Mr. Rounds not having called yet in reply to my letter to him of the thirteenth, I called him to talk about the question of expenses for lookillg up the records of suspended banks. He agreed that we should go ahead and authorize these expenditures and othors as well, with the stipulation that we should, if possible, ask the reserve banks to estimate the cost of the work. As to the question whether the System as a whole or the individual bank should bear the expense originating in the different districts, he was undecided. He felt, however, that if any of the banks insisted that the expense should be borne by the System, it would be difficult to refuse to reimburse them. Inasmuch as most of the banks that have spoken of the matter at all have indicated indirectly that thsy expected to bear the expense themselves and inasmuch as no more than an indirect indication has been given on the other hand by other banks mentioning it that they expected the System to pay for it, he thought it was best to let the matter ride for decision ;then it became an issue. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis -30 ,1,46,11,4 U https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis L.

Subject:_ Mr. Carpenter At the request of the Federal Reserve Banks Committee on Group, Chain and Branch Banking, the Comptroller of the Currency has consented to assemble certain data in his office for the information of the Committee. It was the understanding that the salaries of the employees detailed to this work would be paid by the Conmittee and I have learned this morning that the Comptroller, on August 7 assigned Er. Thorpe G. Drain, Assistant National Bank hxaminer, at .:;2,000 per annum, and Mr. Hugh E. Wills, at the rate of 450 per month, to the work. The salary of Er. Drain,will be paid by the Comptroller of the Currency in order to avoid his tran- ,r from the National Bank Examiner roll, and the account, "Salaries and -..enses National Bank Examiners Special nd,” in the Comptroller's office 11 be reimbursed by the Committee. The salary of Mr. Wills will be .4id directly by the Committee. I have giv Er. Smead's office this information and a letter is going forward toda o Mr. Rounds so that proper arrangements can be made to pay Er. Wills' salary on August 15 and to reimburse the Comptroller of the Currency .Lor Er. Drain's salary. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis August 12, 1930. Mr. L. R. Rounds, Deputy Governor, Federal Reserve Bank of NOW York, New York, New York. Dear Mr. Rounds: Two letters opme in this afternoon on the subject of bank suspensions which I wanted to talk with you about, but inasmuch as it was so late in the afternoon I thought it would be better to write you . bout the matter and ask you to call me tomorrow after you had thought over my letter. The first letter in cuestion is from Mr. McClure at Kansas City who encloses a letter from Colimissioner Shull of oklahoma saying that they have no facilities for making out the onestionnaire on suspensions, but can get it done for us at a cost of .t2.50 a suspension. Since there have been about 276 in oklahome, this would amount to 4690.00. Mr. Heath writes from Chicago that in Indi&na the same boat and would heve to put on somebody at to 4200.00 a month which would have to be paid for Esttmating the same rite of charge as was asked by would amount to about $400.00 for Indiana. they are in from 417u.00 by the system. Oklahoma, this We have already authorised an ekpense of !i:500.00 in the case of South Carolina and of smaller amounts in the cases of one or two other states. The indications are that the work will be done without charge in Illinois, Iowa, Florida and Georgia, whioh I mention among others because they have a heavy record of suspensions. There is nothing, however, so tar to indicate that we may not be asked to pay ear the work in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Missouri, etc. We have simply their acknowledgment of the forms for those states with no indication yet as to the commissioners' attitudes. In the letters from the St. 7,ouis and the Dallas banks, however, there are indications that difficulty is anticipated which may cost something. In Minnesota, as you may have heard, we are blocked by the comAssioner's absolute inability, according to his https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Mr. L. R. Rounds #2 August 13, 1930. own statement, either to furnish the information or to give representatives of the reserve bank access to his records. I should estimate roughly on the basis of *hat has been authorized Dor states mhere the Juestion has already arisen that -15 could not at the outside be asked to authorize expenditures in excess of $4.000 total. That would be say $500 average for as many as eight we have already authorized tames to $700 or 2800. I states. have estimated above that Indiana and Oklahoma would amount to t400 and :.700 respectively. That leaves about t2.000 or double the amount of the present authorisations to reach my total estimate. It seems to me that we should authorize reimbursement of the state commissioners where it is necessary, but I shall, of course, have to he your decision before I can do anything about it. There also is a question, which possibly is in my own mind only, as to whether this expense will be borne by the individeal reserve banks directly affected or by the system as a whole. The letters from some of the reserve banks indicate that they expect to pay the expense themselves, but Chicago writes of it as being "met by the system.“ I should likr to b4ve your understanding on this point also. If you will tell me tomorrow after having considered this matter, I can then Rst replies off arom7-tly to the Chicago and .nsae City 1=10. I should like also to know bow you would like further inouiries of this sort handled. https://fraser.stlouisfed.org Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis Very trnly years, C. B. Hammond.

Dear governor Harrison: Reference is made to the Board's telegram of April 24, advising that because of the close relutionahip of its committee on group, chain, and branch banking to the banks' committee on member bank reserves, the Federal Reserve Board had voted, subject to the approval of the Federal reserve banks, to change the former from a Board to a bank commOtee. Replies have now been received from all of the reserve banks approving the change, and, accordingly, the Board has voted to make the transfer effective Vay 1, 1930. It is understood that the status of the dommittee will be the same as that of the bank eommittes on member bank reserves; also, that arrangements have been made with your bank to pay the expenses of the oommittee under a procedure similar to that followed in connection with the committee on reserves, and to bill each of the other Federal reserve banks accerdin„; to its pro rata share. The name of Mr. J. H. Riddle, who is serving as secretary of the committee on group, chain, and branch banking with salary at the rate of $1,000 per mouths is therefore being removed from the Board's rolls as of this date, and his salary, beginning May 1, 1930, Should be paid by your bank in the same mp;::;er as that of nr. ilinfield Riefler who is serving as secrctary of the eommittee on reserves.

The Committee on Bank Reserves has paid the rent for this room through May 9, 1930. We have also paid the rent on the furni- ture to H. Baum & Son through May 8, 1930.

LI 2-8495 FOrIn NI I. 131 Office Correspondefrce To Mr. From Mr. Vest- Assistant Counsel, J.S1/ msad FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD Date liar. 13,1930 Subject:_proposed lease of room in Otis Building. In accordance with your request, I have examined the proposed lease of Room 607 in the Otis Building for the use of the Committee on Bank Reserves and I have the following comments: It is noted that the parties to this lease are the Albemarle Investment Company and the Committee on Bank Reserves. Neither the Federal Reserve Board nor the Government of the United States is mentioned or involved. The Committee on Bank Reserves has no legal existence and in my opinion the individual or individuals who sign the lease on its behalf will be the only ones bound thereby. If this is satisfactory to you, however, I know of no particular objection to it. The term of the lease is said to be for one year commencing March 10, 1930 and terminating February 28, 1931. This is ambiguous in that a period of ten days less than the year is not accounted for. Nevertheless it is agreed that $540 rent in monthly installments of $45 is to be paid. It would seam to be to be advisable to clear up the point as to the payment of rent for this ten-day interval, in case this has not already been done. I note also that the rent is payable in advance. I doubt that the language now appearing in the lease is sufficient to authorize either party upon giving notice to terminate the At any rate I think the point would be time whatever. lease at y as follows were used: substantiall language much clearer if "It is expressly understood and agreed that upon the giving of thirty days' written notice by either party to the other, this lease may be terminated at any time whatever whether at the beginning or end of any month or at any time during any month, and in case of such termination by either party pursuant to such notice the said parties apportioned hereto of the second part shall pay the rent to the date of such termination, and no more."
