The Federal Reserve Board,
Washingotn,D.C.
Gentlemen:—
We are very much interested in the
of PittsburiiL as one of the

Reserve

selection

cities and while we

have the kindliest feelings for Cleveland we feel that the
selection of Pittsburg would be more advantageous to a larger
section than Cleveland could xossibly serve.
In the event of a reconsideration of the location
of the Federal Reserve Bank for our section

we would appreciate

the opportunity of appearing before your board for a hearing.
Respectfully,

Cincinnati, Ohio, April 7, 1914.
THE PRESIDENT.
In the regional bank territory to which Cincinnati is assigned the
part south of the Ohio River including part of Vest Virginia and Kentucky could
be much better served with the bank at Cincinnati and half of Ohio could be
equally as well served as in Cleveland in addition to which Cincinnati can
reach any part of this territory in a much less average time that can the
city designated.

We respectfully pretest against the selection

bolieviig

that Cincinnati is judtly entitled to it a perusal of the evidence taken at
Cincinq

Committee

Your Excellency:As a simple student of Economics, may I ask:What ethical principle influenced the Organization Committee of the
U. S. Treasury Department, to select as the

economic CENTER of a financial

district, a remote point on its financial and geographical FRONTIER, as
exemplified in Regional District #4?
I have been asked this question, and would like to be qualified to
answer it intelligently.

My dear Mr. McAdoo:The verdict of the organization Committee leaves much
to be desired.
Cincinnati always has been, and is, much more of a
banking center than Oleveland.
The great territory West of Minneapolis, Kansas City
and Dallas has only one regional balak.
Philadelphia and New York are two hours apart, Boston
and New York four or five hours, Kansas City and St Louis only
seven hours.
Business men often complain of juries, but my observation is that a body of experts comes no nearer reaching verdicts
which are approved by the average mind.
