Reference to Circular No. 515

Checks on Certain Nonmember State Banks and Trust Companies
In North Carolina Temporarily Unacceptable For Collection
REVISED LIST—No. 19

To all Member Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District:

For the present checks drawn on those nonmember State banks and trust companies
located in North Carolina listed on the following pages cannot be accepted by us for collection through the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond.

This is due to a temporary injunc-

tion which these institutions have obtained in the State of North Carolina restraining the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond from returning as dishonored any checks, drawn upon
any one of the banking institutions joining the injunction proceedings, which the drawee
bank refuses to pay except in exchange at less than par.
The banks whose names are added at the end of the list on the last page have not
become parties to the injunction suit, but, nevertheless, have signified to the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond their intention to take advantage of the North Carolina statute
by refusing to remit at par in exchange, and refusing to pay in money, checks presented to
them by its agents. We, therefore, cannot handle checks drawn upon these banks. Every
such check would necessarily be returned by us with a notice of dishonor after presentation.
Revised lists will be published and sent to you from time to time as occasion requires.




Very truly yours,
BENJ. STRONG,

Governor
