THE YEAR IN BRIEF
Commercial banks experienced a favorable year in 1967, increas­
ing their assets by more than 12 percent. Operating earnings of in­
sured commercial banks rose about 5.6 percent from 1966, while net
income after taxes increased by about 17 percent. The liquidity
position of commercial banks and of savings institutions improved
significantly in 1967. Investments comprised a larger share of com­
mercial and mutual savings bank assets than a year earlier.
In 1967, the Corporation’s disbursements were required in four
bank failure cases involving a total of almost $11 million of deposits
and approximately 4,700 depositors. By the end of the year, over
98 percent of the depositors had fully recovered their funds, with the
aid of Corporation disbursements totaling $7.8 million.
The deposit insurance fund rose by $234 million during the year
to a total of $3,485 million. As of December 31, 1967, the fund
amounted to 0.78 percent of total deposits in insured banks, and
approximately 1.33 percent of insured deposits.
At the end of 1967, there were 14,244 banks in the United States,
of which 13,850, or 97.2 percent, were insured. The banks not par­
ticipating in Federal deposit insurance included 224 commercial
banks and nondeposit trust companies and 170 mutual savings banks.
During 1967, the total number of banks in operation decreased by
47, and the number of insured banks by 23. A 1,105 net increase in
branches raised the total number of banking offices by 1,058.
The Corporation conducted 7,148 examinations of main offices,
4,662 examinations of departments and branches, and 1,767 investi­
gations during the year. Major changes were made in the structure
of FDIC Districts in 1967, involving an increase in their number from
12 to 14 and shifts in the boundaries of several Districts. The new
alignment of Districts became fully operational on July 1.
Temporary legislation granting the Federal bank supervisory author­
ities additional flexibility in establishing maximum interest rates pay­
able by insured banks on deposits, which was enacted in 1966, was
extended on September 21, 1967, for a one-year period. The Cor­
poration issued new rules and regulations to define and clarify insur­
ance coverage and to carry out the intent of Congress to provide in­
surance up to $15,000 per depositor.

By most yardsticks 1967 was an excellent year for commercial
banks. Deposits and assets increased by about 12 percent, and most
banks were able to post sizeable gains in earnings at the same time
that they increased their liquidity. A brief review of the principal eco­
nomic and financial developments in 1967 will help place the princi­
pal developments in banking in better perspective.
TH E ECONOMY IN 1 96 7
The U.S. economy during 1967 recorded its seventh consecutive
year of expansion. The pace of economic activity, however, was not
uniform throughout the year or throughout all sectors of the economy.
Gross national product (GNP) advanced at an annual rate of only $13
billion during the first half of the year, in contrast to a gain of more
than $32 billion during the second half of 1967. About half the over­
all gain came as a result of price level increases.
Changes in GNP in 1967 were closely tied to fluctuations in the
level of inventory accumulation and to changes in the level of Govern­
ment spending. Inventory accumulation was substantial in 1966 and,
partly as a result of a disappointing level of final sales, net inventory
accumulation occurred at an $18.5 billion annual rate in the fourth
quarter of 1966. Thereafter, inventory accumulation declined sharply,
falling to less than $1 billion in the second quarter of 1967. The de­
pressing effect on the economy of inventory behavior during the first
half of 1967 was partially offset by an increase in the level of govern­
ment expenditures, particularly by the Federal Government.
In the second half of 1967, inventory investment began to pick up
and, thus, to exert an expansionary influence on the economy, while
the advance in Government expenditures moderated. The net influ­
ence of changes in inventory accumulation and Government
expenditures on changes in GNP is depicted in Chart 1.
Business spending on plant and equipment declined slightly in the
first half of 1967 and posted moderate gains in the second half.
Spending on residential construction increased throughout 1967, fol­
lowing a sharp decline in the last three quarters of 1966, and by the
fourth quarter of 1967 approximately regained the level achieved prior
to the 1966 decline (Chart 2).
Consumer expenditures, particularly for durable goods, expanded at
a relatively modest pace in 1967. If the effect of increases in the con­
sumer price level is excluded, expenditures on durable and nondura­
ble goods (consumer expenditures exclusive of spending on services)
barely increased between the fourth quarter of 1966 and the fourth

quarter of 1967. Households saved an unusually high proportion of
their incomes in 1967 (Chart 3). Recent price rises, uncertainty about
the economic outlook and taxes and unsettled conditions in financial
markets may have influenced the high personal savings rate. Clearly,
the effect of the high savings rate was to moderate the pressure on
both goods and financial markets in 1967.
In summary, 1967 can be characterized as a year in which the
economy maintained a relatively high rate of activity, but a year in
which “ real" gains were modest. The economy was able to absorb a
rather substantial inventory adjustment and a slowdown in consumer

spending relatively painlessly. To a considerable extent this occurred
because Government spending increased substantially.
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS
In some respects financial markets behaved paradoxically in 1967.
During most of the year monetary policy remained expansionary.
Banks and other financial institutions had ample funds to meet loan
demands, a situation which contrasted markedly with the stringency
existing during much of 1966. However, the cost of funds was high.
Interest rates in early 1967 continued the decline begun in late 1966,
but began to turn upward once again in March in the case of corpo­
rate and Government bonds and about mid-year in the case of short­
term securities.
Monetary policy. Following a period of considerable restraint, the
monetary authorities began to move toward an easier policy in the
fourth quarter of 1966. Throughout most of 1967 the monetary au­
thorities continued to make reserves available to commercial banks.
The effect of this increase in the reserve base was supplemented by
reductions in reserve requirements on time and savings deposits. In
April the discount rate was reduced from 4 1/2 to 4 percent. Monetary



6

policy remained fairly expansionary until late in 1967 when the expan­
sion of the reserve base was moderated. In late November, partly in
response to the devaluation of the British pound, the discount rate
was again raised to 4Y2 percent.
Credit demands. While substantial credit expansion occurred in
1967, credit demands of the various sectors of the economy were not
uniformly strong. A Federal cash deficit of approximately $7.3 billion
in calendar year 1967 added to the pressure on financial markets.
The acceleration of corporate tax payments and repayment of Federal
agency debt contributed to an improved Treasury cash position in the
first half of the year when Treasury receipts normally exceed expendi­
tures. In the second half of 1967, however, the cash deficit was about
$20 billion and Treasury financing exerted considerable pressure on
financial markets.
State and local governments added a record dollar volume to their
debt in 1967. In part this reflected financing postponed from 1966
when financial markets became extremely tight. Both Federal and
State and local government financing was concentrated in commercial
banks in 1967. Net purchases of Federal and State and local govern­
ment securities by commercial banks amounted to $15.3 billion, and
banks also were substantial net purchasers of Federal agency securi­
ties.
Despite an upswing in housing starts, the volume of mortgage fi­
nancing in 1967 barely exceeded the relatively low 1966 level. Among
other considerations, this reflected the fact that mortgage closings
tend to lag somewhat behind movements in housing starts and the
fact that high interest rates, and inflexible rate ceilings on mortgages



7

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS

in some areas, restrained the level of housing turnover and refinanc­
ing.
The overall increase in corporate debt in 1967 was slightly less
than in 1966. Despite the fact that banks had ample funds during
most of 1967 and were generally more eager to make loans than in
1966, corporate borrowing from banks expanded by less than in the
two previous years. The expansion of trade credit was also at a slower
pace than during the two previous years. What made 1967 so unusual
from the standpoint of corporate financing was the tremendous vol­
ume of bond financing. Net corporate bond financing increased by
about 50 percent compared with an already extremely high 1966
level (Chart 4).

AVERAGE

The increase in the volume of corporate bond financing in early
1967 was not surprising. In previous periods when economic activity
has slackened and monetary policy has eased, corporations have taken
advantage of lower interest rates in the capital market to replenish
their liquidity through long-term financing. However, the 1966-1967
decline in interest rates was extremely short-lived, particularly with re­
spect to corporate bonds. The quick turnaround in bond rates reflected
expectations that the pace of business activity would accelerate in the



8

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

second half of the year and the heavy calendar of bond financing that
was building up.
Between February and December, rates on high and medium-grade
corporate bonds rose by more than 110 basis points to their highest
level since 1921. Despite the rising level of interest rates on corpo­
rate bonds, the volume of corporate bond financing continued to be
high throughout the year. Either high rates did not weigh heavily in
corporate decisions or the need for long-term financing was consid­
ered to be very pressing.
Apparently the difficulties experienced by some firms in 1966 with
respect to obtaining adequate financing persuaded them of the need
for heavier reliance on long-term financing. The heavy volume of bank
borrowing in 1965 and 1966 led to relatively high use of credit lines
by some firms and, as a result, provided little leeway for financing un­
expected cash needs. Long-term financing, for some firms, provided a
means for paying down such lines. Additional needs for long-term
financing were related to the speed-up in corporate tax payments oc­
curring in 1966 and 1967. This speed-up had the effect of eliminating
what had amounted to a permanent source of financing aggregating
about $8 billion for all corporations.
Interest rates. The heavy volume of corporate bond financing put
substantial pressure on financial markets. Because the principal sup­
pliers of funds to the corporate bond market in recent years have
been insurance companies and pension funds with relatively fixed in­
flows of funds, it was necessary to tap other financial resources to
finance the greatly increased volume of long-term corporate debt. This
required concessions to the bond market in the form of substantially
higher interest rates to attract such investors as individuals and mu­
tual savings banks.
During the spring of 1967 bond rates increased while the effect of
relatively easy monetary policy exerted downward pressure on short­
term interest rates. Thus, for a while there emerged an unusually
large spread between short-term and long-term interest rates. In the
second half of 1967 Treasury bill rates moved up sharply, but still re­
mained well below bond rates.
In the mortgage market, the recovery in the inflow of funds to mort­
gage lenders outdistanced the recovery in housing starts during the
first half of 1967. As a result, normally sluggish mortgage rates did
not begin to move up again until well after the turnaround in corpo­
rate bond yields, and the rise of mortgage rates in the second half of
1967 (partly because of interest ceilings and usury laws) was rela­
tively modest. Indeed, interest rates on medium-grade corporate bonds
moved above the average rate on conventional and insured mortgages
in the latter part of 1967.

The experience in 1967 (Chart 5) testified to the fact that interest
rate relationships cannot be taken for granted. While a considerable
overlap exists among the portfolios of different lenders and considera­
ble arbitrage occurs in financial markets, the mix of credit demands
can importantly affect the relationships among interest rates and re­
sult in significant deviation from “ normal” patterns.

Deposits. Deposits at insured commercial banks advanced by a
record $43 billion in 1967— more than 12 percent. A substantial in­
crease in the reserve base of member banks contributed importantly
to a record $19 billion— 9.8 percent— gain in demand deposits. Size­
able increases were experienced by banks in their IPC, public and
bank demand deposits. While most banks shared in the increases,
large banks and banks located in financial centers experienced greaterthan-average growth in demand deposits.
Time deposits rose by more than $24 billion in 1967— approxi­
mately double the 1966 advance. Two-thirds of the total gain was
recorded during the first half of the year. As short-term market rates
of interest rose in the second half of 1967, time deposit gains
slackened, in part because of attrition in large-denomination certifi­



10

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

cates of deposit, but also because of reduced gains in consumeroriented time deposits.
During 1967 gains occurred in all categories of time deposits. Sav­
ings deposits, which had declined in 1966 as a result of competition
from other savings instruments— including bank time deposits— in­
creased by $4.4 billion, or 4.8 percent. Large-denomination CD’s, de­
spite a decline in the latter part of the year, increased by about $4 bil­
lion. Other IPC time deposits, excluding negotiable CD’s, increased
$12 billion, or about 30 percent.
During 1967 a growing number of commercial banks attempted to
bid for a larger share of savings dollars through open book accounts.
Such accounts have enabled commercial banks to offer an instrument
similar in form and competitive in rate with savings instruments of­
fered by thrift institutions. The 5 percent ceiling applicable on such
accounts of less than $100,000 was generally the prevailing rate
on these savings instruments during the second half of 1967. Start­
ing from a relatively low base, time deposit open accounts under
$100,000 experienced the largest percentage gain of the various time
deposit categories in 1967.
A number of factors contributed to the favorable performance of
time and savings deposits at commercial banks in 1967. These in­
cluded the high personal savings rate, the desire of spending units to
rebuild their liquidity and the relatively attractive rates offered on
time deposits compared with short-term money market rates— at least
during the first half of the year.
During the early months of 1967 the number of banks lowering
their rates on consumer-oriented time deposits exceeded the number
of banks raising such rates, but, as market interest rates began to
climb, the number of rate increases on time deposits rose. By the lat­
ter part of 1967 most of the larger banks were offering the 5 percent
maximum permissible rate on at least one time-deposit instrument of
less than $100,000. Rates on negotiable CD’s followed roughly the
same pattern, although they moved more uniformly in line with money
market rates.
In September Congress extended for one year the interest rate leg­
islation originally enacted in September, 1966, and scheduled to expire
in September, 1967. The interest rate ceiling remained at 5 1/2 percent
for time deposits in denominations of over $100,000 and 5 percent
for denominations of less than $100,000.
While commercial banks, mutual savings banks, and savings and
loan associations all competed actively for individual savings in 1967,
some of the intensity of the savings competition of 1966 was gone.
The savings pool was growing rapidly, rate competition from the money
market was less intensive; and there was only limited opportunity

for rate changes, although there continued to be some experimenta­
tion with new or modified instruments. In addition, the most
rate-sensitive funds posed less of a problem because they had already
been largely withdrawn from banks and thrift institutions in 1966.
Both mutual savings banks and savings and loan associations experi­
enced sizeable savings gains— about 8 percent in the case of mutuals
and about 9 percent in the case of savings and loan associations.
Loans and investments. Loans of insured commercial banks in­
creased by $18 billion in 1967, slightly more than in 1966, but below
the increase experienced in 1965 and 1964. Bank investments rose
by $19 billion, the largest annual gain since World War II. As a result,
bank liquidity as measured by the loan-deposit ratio increased for the
first time in several years.
In the light of the abundant volume of funds available to banks in
1967 and the fact that there probably existed a backlog of unsatisfied
loan demand from 1966, the 8.4 percent loan increase in 1967 was
modest. The dollar gains in commercial and industrial, real estate,
and consumer loans approximated the gains in 1966. The percentage
gain in consumer loans was pulled down by a relatively small gain in
automobile loans, which resulted from a high level of loan repayments
and reduced new car sales.
The larger banks had greater-than-average percentage gains in de­
posits, but less-than-average gains in loans. While the 20 largest banks
in the country showed a loan increase of 6 percent, all other banks
showed a gain of almost 10 percent. In part, the performance of the
largest banks may have reflected the fact that they entered 1967 under
a somewhat greater pressure to rebuild liquidity than did those banks
more removed from money centers. At the same time, high rates of
return on municipal and Federal agency securities probably discour­
aged larger banks from reaching for loans.
Investments. Banks posted substantial gains in 1967 in Treasury,
State and local government, and Federal agency securities. Their hold­
ings of Treasury securities, which had declined during the four pre­
vious years, increased by $6.3 billion or 11 percent. Bank purchases
of Treasury securities were largely confined to the short end of the
market— maturities of three years and under. Bank options were lim­
ited somewhat by the fact that Treasury financing was concentrated,
in all but one instance, in relatively short maturities. While banks
were concentrating new purchases in the short end of the market dur­
ing 1967, existing holdings of long and intermediate-term Treasuries
were, of course, becoming a year shorter in maturity. The result was a
general shortening in maturities and, combined with the increase in
the holdings of Treasury securities, a considerable increase in bank li­
quidity (Chart 6).



12

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Banks raised their investments in State and local government
securities by about $9 billion in 1967 to bring their holdings of such
securities to approximately $50 billion— more than double their hold­
ings of 5 years earlier (Chart 7). Banks raised their holdings of other
securities, principally Federal agency securities, by $3.7 billion, or al­
most 50 percent. A considerable share of this increase resulted from
bank purchases of participation certificates.
Bank earnings. Operating revenue in 1967 increased approximately
in line with the rise in bank assets. Operating expenses, however,
advanced more rapidly and, as a result, net operating earnings in­
creased less than proportionately to the increase in assets. Compari­
sons of 1967 to 1966, however, provide a somewhat deceptive picture
of bank performance. They show only a 5.6 percent gain in net operat­
ing earnings, but a very substantial 16.3 percent gain in net income
before taxes and a 17.0 percent increase in after-tax income. Actually,
net operating earnings after taxes— the figure most used by commer­
cial banks to report their earnings for statement purposes— appear to
have increased by more than 8.5 percent in 1967— somewhat less
than the percentage increase in bank assets and operating revenue.
The substantial expansion in bank holdings of tax-exempt securities



COMMERCIAL BANK PERFORMANCE IN 1967

13

had the effect of restraining the before-tax return on bank earning as­
sets, although it probably raised the taxable-equivalent yield on earn­
ing assets. This also tended to depress the level and percentage gain
in operating revenue and net current operating earnings. The shift to
tax-exempt income has a much greater relative impact on net current
operating earnings than on operating revenue. A reduction of one per­
cent in operating revenue, other things equal, would result in about a
4 percent reduction in net current operating earnings.
Even if the advance in operating revenue is adjusted upward to re­
flect the effect of the substantial increase in tax-exempt securities, the
1967 increase in operating revenue would still be less than the increase
in operating expenses. Salaries and employee benefits advanced by
about 10.9 percent in 1967. The number of bank employees rose
about 5.2 percent and the rise in salaries, wages and benefits was
slightly more. The other major component of bank expenses— interest
on time and savings deposits— increased 18 percent compared with a
15 percent advance in time and savings deposits. As a result, interest
payments on time and savings deposits continued to account for a
growing share of bank operating expenses.
Larger banks tended to experience greater percentage increases in



14

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

wages and salaries, but smaller relative increases in their interest
cost on time and savings deposits. For the 50 largest commercial
banks, the volume of time and savings deposits grew by 14.1 percent
while interest costs on deposits increased by 13.8 percent. Larger
banks were able to attract negotiable certificates of deposit at re­
duced rates in early 1967 and many were already at ceiling rates on
savings certificates and other consumer-oriented time deposits in
1966. Many smaller banks, on the other hand, had been paying lower
rates in 1966 and moved closer to the rates offered by larger banks
which, in many instances, eliminated the competitive gap in 1967. In­
terest payments on the average outstanding volume of time and
savings deposits were approximately 4.24 percent in 1967 compared
with 4.02 percent in 1966.
In 1967 few banks realized substantial gains or losses in security
transactions and for all insured commercial banks gains and losses
approximately offset each other. This was in sharp contrast with the
1966 experience when insured commercial banks took security losses
of $450 million. This year-to-year difference accounts for a considera­
ble part of the large percentage gain in bank net profits between
1966 and 1967. If net security losses realized by commercial banks
in 1966 were eliminated and 1966 tax liability were adjusted accord­
ingly, 1966 net income would be raised by about $200 million. Use of
this adjusted figure would produce a year-to-year increase in net in­
come of about 9 percent in 1967.
Changes in bank income and expenses in 1967 were similar to
those that have been occurring since about 1960. Interest expense on
time and savings deposits has advanced relative to the growth in bank
assets. Portfolio shifts and higher interest rates in the most recent
years have almost raised the ratio of operating revenues to bank assets
sufficiently to offset increased expenses. Portfolio shifts have not been
fully reflected in operating revenues, however, for. expanded invest­
ment in tax-exempt securities has been reflected in lower tax pay­
ments rather than higher operating revenues. If security gains and
losses and their effect on tax liability are eliminated, the after-tax net
income per dollar of bank assets shows considerable stability during
this period.
Net income of insured commercial banks in 1967 of $3,142 million
represented a return on total capital accounts of about 9.6 per cent
and a 10 percent return on total equity capital. Commercial banks
paid dividends of $1,342 million in 1967, an advance of 8.2 percent
over dividends paid in 1966. This represented a dividend pay-out ra­
tio of 42.7 per cent, slightly less than the pay-out ratio for banks
during the past several years.




COMMERCIAL BANK PERFORMANCE IN 1967

15

Retained earnings of insured commercial banks in 1967 amounted
to $1.8 billion. Total capital accounts increased by $2.3 billion, about
$300 million of which represented an increase in outstanding capital
notes and debentures. Because the overall 7.3 percent increase in
bank capital was less than the percentage gain in bank deposits, the
ratio of bank capital to deposits declined slightly in 1967.
After charge-offs of $601 million to loan loss reserves, commercial
banks made net additions to such reserves of approximately $435 mil­
lion compared to $325 million in 1966. At the end of 1967 insured
commercial banks had loan loss reserves of about $4.7 billion, ap­
proximately 2 percent of total loans and more than 14 percent of total
capital accounts. On an after-tax basis, net additions to loan loss re­
serves were equivalent to between 6 and 7 percent of commercial
bank net income in 1967.
Number of banks. During 1967 the number of insured commercial
banks and trust companies declined by 24 to 13,517. (Including mu­
tual savings banks the number of insured banks at the end of 1967
was 13,850.) As a result of a substantial increase in the number of
bank branches, the number of offices of insured commercial banks
increased by more than 1,000 and totaled 31,570 at the end of

1967. Ninety-four insured commercial banks began operations in
1967 and 21 noninsured commercial banks transferred to insured
status. This was more than offset, however, by a reduction in the num­
ber of banks through mergers and bank closings, including four bank
failures.
Banking structure changes during 1967 were similar to those expe­
rienced during 1966— a small reduction in the number of banks and
a substantial increase in the number of banking offices. The 134 com­
mercial banks absorbed by merger was close to the average number
absorbed through merger during the past several years. Changes
since 1960 in the number of banks and banking offices are summa­
rized in Chart 8.
Summary. The favorable performance of commercial banks in 1967
was reflected in sizeable gains in their deposits, earning assets and
net income. While expenses continued to rise relative to assets and
operating revenue, the rise was somewhat less marked than in other
recent years and was largely offset by an increase in operating reve­
nue. Aided by monetary policy and the behavior of the economy,
banks were able to reverse the recent trend and to achieve a substan­
tial increase in liquidity in 1967. As a result, the banks were able to
operate in a more comfortable environment in 1967 compared with
1966.

DISBURSEMENTS TO PROTECT DEPOSITORS
Banks failing in 1967. Disbursements totaling $ 7 .8 million were
made by the Corporation to protect depositors in four banks which
failed during the year. Deposits in the four banks amounted to almost
$11 million and were held by 4 ,7 2 9 depositors. Full recovery was re­
ceived by 4 ,6 4 5 depositors representing more than 9 8 percent of the
total number.
Table 1 gives names and locations of the four banks with dates of
closing and dates of first payments to the depositors. The four were
placed in receivership with the Corporation serving as receiver in each
case.
Following the pattern of failures in recent years, the four banks
failed largely as a result of managerial weaknesses and illegal prac­
tices rather than as a result of an unfavorable economic environment.
Illegal practices included fraudulent use of unissued stock certifi­
cates, fictitious loans and self-serving financial operations by leading
officers of the banks.

Banks failing, 1934-1967. Since the beginning of Federal deposit
insurance the Corporation has made disbursements to protect deposi­
tors in 4 7 0 banks experiencing financial difficulty. These banks had
slightly over 1.6 million deposit accounts and total deposits of $ 8 1 6
million. Data on the extent and method of protection are shown in
Table 2.

whose insured deposits are paid. When an insured bank is closed and
placed in receivership, the Corporation shares equally with other cred­
itors in the proceeds from the liquidation. At the end of 1967, there
were 36 failed bank cases containing assets to be liquidated. These
active cases account for most of the accounts and deposits indicated
as not yet paid in Table 2.
In its insurance operations through 1967, the Corporation dis­
bursed $430 million. Recoveries, actual and anticipated, through the
end of 1967 totaled $377 million, leaving an estimated $53 million
loss, excluding $9 million of interest and allowable return which was
recovered on the Corporation's advances. Details of Corporation dis­
bursements, recoveries and losses are shown in Table 3.
Deposit insurance participation and coverage. National banks and
State banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System are au­
tomatically covered by Federal deposit insurance. State banks that are
not members of the Federal Reserve System become insured upon apTable 2. PROTECTION OF DEPOSITORS OF INSURED BANKS REQUIRING

plication to and approval by the Corporation’s Board of Directors. The
numbers of banks and branches in the United States, classified by in­
surance status, are shown in Table 101.
The number of banks not participating in Federal deposit insurance
continued to decline in 1967, and totaled 394 at the end of the year.
One hundred and seventy of these were mutual savings banks, virtually
all of which were in Massachusetts and insured by their own State’s
insurance system. Commercial banks and mutual savings banks
grouped according to insured status and class, and by States, are
shown in Table 103.
The amount of insurance afforded each depositor in an insured
bank is limited by statute. Initially, this limitation was $2,500; in
mid-1934 it was raised to $5,000, in 1950 to $10,000, and on Octo­
ber 16, 1966, to the present maximum of $15,000. Within an insured
bank, a depositor is currently protected up to $15,000 on the aggre­
gate of all deposits maintained in the same right and capacity.
The number of accounts fully protected within the insurance
limitation has always been high. On June 30, 1966, the date of the
latest full-scale survey of deposits undertaken by the Corporation, 97
per cent of the 193 million accounts in insured banks were fully pro­
tected under the applicable $10,000 maximum. The subsequent in­
crease to the $15,000 maximum is estimated to have raised the pro­
portion of accounts fully protected to nearly 99 percent of all
accounts.
The roughly one percent of all accounts that exceed the insurance



22

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

limitation typically do so by a substantial amount. Consequently,
the proportion of total deposits that is insured has always been sub­
stantially less than the proportion of accounts fully protected. The June
30, 1966 survey showed that 54 percent of the dollar amount of de­
posits in insured banks was within the $10,000 limitation. As of De­
cember 30, 1967, insurance coverage within the $15,000 limitation is
estimated to have increased to about 58.2 percent of the $448.7
billion in total deposits in all insured banks on that date.
SUPERVISORY ACTIVITIES
It has been generally accepted that the activities of banks uniquely
affect the public interest, and, therefore, are properly subject to gov­
ernmental supervision. At present, the majority of banks in the United
States are chartered and supervised by the banking agencies of the
individual States. Under the existing system of Federal supervision,
national banks are chartered and supervised by the Comptroller of the
Currency. Insured State banks that are members of the Federal Re­
serve System are supervised by the Federal Reserve authorities in ad­
dition to the States. The authority and responsibilities of the FDIC
that are related to deposit insurance extend to all insured banks. To
avoid duplication of effort among the Federal supervisory agencies the
principal examination activities of the Corporation apply to insured
State banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System.
These banks are examined regularly by the Corporation, and must
make various reports and comply with rules and regulations of the
Corporation. Various activities by the banks, such as the establish­
ment of branches or changing their location, or acquiring other banks
through merger, require the Corporation’s approval.
Applications for deposit insurance. With respect to applications of
banks which will be covered by Federal deposit insurance, the ap­
propriate Federal agency is required by statute to consider several
factors: (1) the financial history and condition of the bank, (2) the ad­
equacy of its capital structure, (3) its future earnings prospects, (4)
the general character of its management, (5) the convenience and
needs of the community to be served by the bank, and (6) the consist­
ency of its corporate powers with the purposes of the Act. Banks char­
tered by the States and not members of the Federal Reserve System
must apply to and be approved by the Corporation to obtain deposit
insurance. Banks beginning operations either as national banks or
State member banks become insured upon certification by the ap­
propriate agency that the above six factors have been given
consideration.
During 1967, the Corporation approved 95 banks for admission to
deposit insurance, 76 of which were new banks and 19 of which were



SUPERVISORY ACTIVITIES

23

existing banks. Of the new banks acquiring insured status, eight were
in Illinois, six in Louisiana, and five each in New Jersey and Virginia.
The remainder were divided among 27 States.
Applications for branches. The six factors enumerated above must
also be considered before applications for new branches are approved
by Federal supervisory agencies. Most of the increase in banking of­
fices in 1967 and in recent years has resulted from the establishment
of new branches. The extent of branching, however, as well as its geo­
graphical pattern, is influenced by differing State laws and regula­
tions.
Applications for 380 new branches were approved by the
Corporation in 1967, about 4 percent fewer than the number ap­
proved in 1966. A total of 35 new branches were established in con­
nection with mergers approved by the Corporation, while 21 branches
of absorbed banks were continued in operation under these reorgani­
zations.
Mergers. The responsibilities of the Federal supervisory agencies
were broadened by the Bank Merger Act of 1960 requiring the con­
sent of one of the Federal supervisory agencies before an insured
bank may engage in a merger. Banks must obtain the Corporation’s
approval for any merger, consolidation, acquisition of assets or as­
sumption of liabilities in which the resulting bank is a nonmember in­
sured bank, outside the District of Columbia, or for a merger involving
any insured bank and a noninsured institution.
An amendment to the Act in 1966 sought to establish a uniform set
of standards to be taken into account by the bank supervisory
authorities, Department of Justice and the courts with respect to their
actions on mergers. Before approving an application the supervisory
agencies are required to consider several specific factors, including
the effect of the transaction on competition, financial and managerial
resources, future prospects of the existing and proposed institutions,
and the convenience and needs of the community to be served. A
merger which has anti-competitive effects may be approved if this fac­
tor is clearly outweighed from the standpoint of the public interest by
the probable effect with respect to the convenience and needs of the
community.
Activities of the supervisory agencies in recent years reflect their
increased responsibilities under the 1960 legislation. In the eight
year period, mergers approved by the Corporation have involved 522
banks. Two hundred and seventy-five of these were absorbed banks,
with assets of approximately $4.4 billion. One hundred fifty-seven of
these absorbed banks were nonmember insured banks, 96 were mem­
ber banks, and 22 were noninsured institutions.
The volume of bank merger activity continued to be large in 1967,



24

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

as indicated in Table 4 showing the approvals of the three Federal
agencies during the year. A total of 238 banks were involved, includ­
ing 116 absorbing banks and 122 absorbed banks. The absorbed
banks had combined resources of over $2.8 billion, and operated
260 offices prior to the merger transactions.
Other applications. The Corporation’s approval is required before
nonmember insured banks may undertake certain other activities,
including any change in the location of the main office or branch,
retirement or adjustment of capital, or changes in a bank’s corporate
powers.
Bank examinations. In general the examination process affords the

principal means of contaet between the Corporation and the banks un­
der its supervisory authority. Under the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, the Corporation may examine any insured bank for insurance
purposes; however, in the case of national banks and State member
banks, a review of the examination reports of the other Federal agen­
cies has been satisfactory for the Corporation’s needs.
It is the Corporation's policy to examine banks at least annually—
and more often if necessary— in order to be regularly informed
of each bank's financial condition, and to be alerted to any
conditions which may require correction. In over one-half of the
States, the Corporation's examinations are usually conducted jointly
or concurrently with the State authorities, a practice which helps to
minimize the burden of examination activity and furthers the coordi­
nation of supervisory activities among the various agencies.
Banks examined by the Corporation and the State authorities com­
prise slightly over one-half of all banks in the country, but since most
of these banks fall into the small-to-medium size category they ac­
count for only about one-fourth of bank assets. Approximately onethird of the banks are examined by the Comptroller of the Currency,
about nine percent by the Federal Reserve Banks and the States, and
the remaining three percent by the State authorities. Table 104 pro­
vides data on the number and size distribution of banks by
supervisory status.
During 1967 the Corporation examined 7,148 banks including 129
re-examinations. The number of examinations and investigations con­
ducted by the Corporation in 1966 and 1967 are listed in Table 5.
Realignment of FDIC districts. During 1967 the Corporation made

the same time increasing the number of Districts from 12 to 14. The
restructuring of Districts, based upon an extensive study by the Divi­
sion of Examination, was designed to achieve a more balanced work­
load among the Corporation’s field offices and to contribute to the
efficiency of its various field operations.
The newly created Districts were: Philadelphia, comprising the
States of Pennsylvania and Delaware; and Memphis, consisting of
Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana. Other changes were
the transfer of Arizona to the San Francisco District office, Colorado
and Oklahoma to Dallas, Wyoming to Minneapolis, Kansas to St.
Louis, Iowa to Kansas City, Indiana to Chicago, and West Virginia and
Kentucky to Columbus. The new alignment of States within Districts,
shown on page vi, became fully operational on July 1, 1967.
Citations contem plating term ination of insurance. If an examiner’s
report discloses that an insured bank is engaging in a violation of
banking regulations or laws, or other unsound practices, correction is
first sought through the usual supervisory action. An Act effective on
October 16, 1966, authorizes the Corporation, when corrective action
is not obtainable by the State supervisory authority, to issue cease
and desist orders directed to specific violations or practices. The Cor­
poration may suspend or remove personnel in situations where per­
sonal dishonesty is involved.
When unsound practices or violations of law or regulations persist,
the Corporation is authorized under Section 8(a) of the Federal De­
posit Insurance Act to commence proceedings which may result in
termination of the deposit insurance of the bank. The offending bank
is given formal notification and a time limitation is specified for the
corrective action, with due notification given also to the State supervi­
sory authority. If this step fails to bring compliance, the bank is given
an opportunity to present its case at an administrative hearing before

insurance may be terminated. In the event of termination of insur­
ance, each depositor continues to be insured for two years with res­
pect to insured funds on deposit at the time of termination.
Table 6 shows that action was taken against 195 banks between
1936 and 1967, and that all cases were closed at the end of 1967. In
most cases the required corrections were made, or the cases were
closed because the bank suspended operations or was absorbed by
another bank.
There were no cases begun during 1967. Two cases which were
open at the end of 1966 were closed when corrections were effected.
Regulation of bank securities. In 1964, Public Law 88-467 ex­
tended the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to cover
securities traded in the over-the-counter market. Responsibility for ad­
ministering the Act with respect to insured banks was given to the
Federal bank regulatory agencies. Originally applicable to those corpo­
rations having 750 or more shareholders and over $1 million in as­
sets, the minimum shareholder requirement was reduced to 500, ef­
fective July 1, 1966.
As a result of the lower shareholder requirement, the Corporation,
during 1967, received registration statements from 89 insured State
nonmember banks to bring the year-end total to 169. The latter figure
reflects the withdrawal from registration of two banks through merger.
In addition to the registration statements filed by banks, the Corpo­
ration also receives periodic and current reports required by the Se­
curities Exchange Act, and in addition, regulates proxy solicitation for
annual and special meetings of shareholders of the banks. Another
section of the Act requires the filing of beneficial ownership reports
by every director, officer and large shareholder of a registered bank.
As of the end of the year, 4,200 such reports had been received.
Changes in bank ownership and loans secured by bank stock. Pub­
lic Law 88-593 requires a report to the appropriate Federal banking
agency whenever a change occurs in the outstanding voting stock of
any insured bank which would result in a change in control of the
bank. When such a change does occur, the bank involved must report
promptly any changes or replacement of its chief executive officer or
any director occurring in the next twelve-month period. A supplemen­
tary provision requires a report whenever an insured bank makes a
loan secured by 25 percent or more of the outstanding voting stock of
an insured bank.
During 1967 there were over 270 changes in control involving in­
sured nonmember banks reported to the Corporation. In those few
cases where new ownership was not already known or could not be
checked readily, an immediate investigation was made, and the bank
involved was accorded special supervisory attention until the effect of



28

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

the change was determined and the sound operation of the bank as­
sured.
Other reports from banks. The Corporation obtains statistical and
other information from banks through regular calls for reports of con­
dition and through special data requests. Every insured bank reports
its financial condition four times each year to one of the Federal su­
pervisory agencies; nonmember insured banks report directly to the
Corporation. Income and dividend statements are obtained from
banks once each year. In 1947 the Corporation was given responsi­
bility for collection and publication of all-bank statistics under an
agreement arranged by the Bureau of the Budget with the Federal
banking agencies. Statistics covering assets and liabilities of all banks
and income and dividend statements of insured banks are included in
Part IV of this report.
In connection with its collection and tabulation of data from the
June 30, 1967 Report of Condition, the Corporation initiated a policy
of providing individual banks with data comparing their asset distribu­
tion with that of other banks within their State. Work was initiated in
1967 to enable the Corporation to distribute comparative banking sta­
tistics to all insured commercial banks based on the December, 1967
Report of Condition and the 1967 Income and Dividend Report. Indi­
vidual bank figures were contrasted with comparable figures for all
banks in the same State and in the same local area where branching
regulations make the latter data meaningful.
During 1967 the Corporation conducted three surveys of time and
savings deposits of insured nonmember banks. These surveys were
designed to obtain information on savings flows and on interest rates
offered on various savings instruments by individual institutions.
The Corporation made available early in 1967, in a series of 15
booklets, the results of its June, 1966 Survey of Deposits. These sur­
veys are conducted every two years to inform the Corporation of the
extent of insurance coverage and its insurance liability under the Fed­
eral Deposit Insurance Act. The surveys also provide detailed informa­
tion on the structure of bank deposits. The 1966 survey obtained, for
the first time, data for noninsured banks and for individual offices of
all banks. The data were classified by geographic area, size of bank,
and type of account, providing a kind and degree of detail not pre­
viously available.
Conferences with supervisors of State banks. Conferences with
State bank supervisory officials were held in April and October of
1967, continuing a series of such meetings initiated in 1964 to pro­
vide State banking department and Corporation officials an oppor­
tunity to review banking and bank supervisory developments. The April
meeting was attended by the supervisors and staff aides of 13 States
in the Corporation’s Districts of Boston, Richmond and Chicago. In at­



SUPERVISORY ACTIVITIES

29

tendance at the October meeting were state banking department
officials of 14 of the 15 States in the Districts of Columbus, Memphis,
New York, Philadelphia and St. Louis.
FEDERAL LEGISLATION
Regulation of interest rates. The most significant Federal banking
legislation enacted in 1967 was Public Law 90-87, approved Septem­
ber 21, 1967 (81 Stat. 226), which extended for one year the tempo­
rary legislation (80 Stat. 823) enacted in 1966 to authorize more flexi­
ble regulation by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation of maximum
rates of interest payable by insured banks on deposits and to give to
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board authority for the first time to reg­
ulate rates payable by insured savings and loan associations. The
legislation which was extended also authorizes the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System to increase reserve requirements on
time and savings deposits to a maximum of 10 percent and authorizes
Federal Reserve open-market operations in obligations of agencies of
the United States Government. This legislation originally was enacted
on September 21, 1966 and was to expire at the end of one year com­
mencing on that date.
Loans to executive officers. Section 22(g) of the Federal Reserve
Act was amended by Public Law 90-44, approved July 3, 1967 (81
Stat. 109), to liberalize the restrictions on loans by member banks to
their executive officers. Under this amendment, a member bank may
now make (1) a loan not exceeding $30,000 to any executive officer if
it is secured by a first lien on the officer’s home; (2) extensions of
credit to any executive officer not exceeding the aggregate amount of
$10,000 to finance the education of the officer's children, and (3)
other extensions of credit to any executive officer not exceeding the
aggregate amount of $5,000. The terms of any such loan cannot be
more favorable than those afforded to other borrowers and the officer
receiving the loan is required to submit a detailed current financial
statement.
Bank participation in gam bling activities. Public Law 90-203, to
prohibit insured banks and savings and loan associations from foster­
ing or participating in certain gambling activities, was approved by
the President on December 15, 1967, to take effect on April 1, 1968
(81 Stat. 608). This legislation prohibits insured banks and savings
and loan associations from selling or otherwise dealing in lottery tick­
ets, from advertising lotteries, and from advertising or publicizing the
existence or identity of any participant or winner in a lottery. How­
ever, it does not prohibit such institutions from accepting deposits,
cashing checks, or performing other lawful banking services for a



30

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

State operating a lottery or an officer or employee of that State who is
charged with the administration of the lottery. Administrative enforce­
ment of this law is the responsibility of the Federal agency having
primary supervisory authority with respect to the financial institution
involved. Criminal penalties also are prescribed.
Purchase of small business investment company stock. Among nu­
merous amendments to the Small Business Investment Company Act
of 1958 contained in Public Law 90-104, approved October 11, 1967
(81 Stat. 268), was an amendment to section 302(b) of that Act (15
U.S.C. 682(b)) relating to the purchase of stock of small business in­
vestment companies by banks. Under section 302(b), the stock of
such companies had been eligible for purchase by national banks, and
by insured State banks to the extent permitted by State law, except
that a bank was not permitted to hold the stock in an amount aggre­
gating more than two percent of the bank’s capital and surplus. The
amendment increased the amount of stock of small business invest­
ment companies which may be held by a bank to five percent of the
bank’s capital and surplus, but prescribed a new limitation under
which a bank may not acquire such stock if, after making the acquisi­
tion, it will hold fifty percent or more of any class of equity securities
of the company having actual or potential voting rights.
Anti-trust exemptions. On August 9, 1967, the President approved
Public Law 90-62 (81 Stat. 165) which extended until June 30, 1969,
the temporary legislation enacted in 1965 (79 Stat. 674) to provide
standby authority to exempt from the anti-trust laws voluntary agree­
ments and programs formulated by banks and other lending
institutions to curtail the flow of funds to foreign countries in order to
improve the balance-of-payments position of the United States.
RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION
Deposit insurance coverage. The Corporation issued new regula­
tions, effective September 1, 1967, to define and clarify the insurance
coverage afforded deposits in insured banks. The basic purpose of
these regulations is to carry out the intent of Congress in providing
limited insurance coverage for each depositor, with a maximum now
of $15,000. The regulations (which are included in revised Part 330 of
the Corporation’s regulations) interpret the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act to limit various devices which had been used to increase the in­
surance coverage beyond that meant to be provided by law.
In defining the term “ insured deposit” , section 3(m) of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act speaks of deposits “ maintained in the same ca­
pacity and the same right.” An amendment to this section enacted on
October 16, 1966, authorized the Corporation to issue regulations to
clarify and define the extent of the insurance coverage, and the new



RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

31

regulations were issued pursuant to that authority. Similar regulations
applicable to shareholders in institutions insured by the Federal Sav­
ings and Loan Insurance Corporation were adopted concurrently by
the Federal Home Loan Bank Board. In general, the regulations of
both agencies provide for parallel treatment of insurance on various
types of accounts.
Specifically, the regulations set forth certain general principles re­
garding record-keeping requirements and the valuation of trust inter­
ests which provide a basis for determining the amount of insurance
available to deposits held by depositors in the same or in different
rights or capacities. As to each right or capacity, the regulations state
the various ownership interests and the amount of insurance applica­
ble thereto. Single ownership accounts, including those held by an in­
dividual or someone acting for him, testamentary accounts, accounts
owned and held by executors or administrators, corporations, partner­
ships and unincorporated associations, public unit accounts, jointly
owned accounts and trust accounts are defined and the amount of in­
surance coverage available to each such category of ownership is
specified.
Advertisement of membership. Part 328 of the Corporation’s regu­
lations relating to advertising by insured banks was amended effective
August 1, 1967, to include the new official sign and to restate the re­
quirements with regard to its display and the use of the official
advertising statement. A new official sign was adopted by the Corpora­
tion for use by insured banks in view of the increase in deposit insur­
ance coverage from $10,000 to $15,000 for each depositor. As was
formerly the case, the official sign must be displayed at each station
or window where deposits are received. The use of a substitute sign,
in lieu of the official sign, is not permitted.
The mandatory requirements with regard to the official advertising
statement— “ Member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation"
— were relaxed to permit, at an insured bank’s option, the use of the
short title, “ Member FDIC,” or a reproduction of the official sign. Pro­
motional items which are of the type or character making it impracti­
cal to include the official statement are included in advertisements
which are exempted from the requirements as to the official advertis­
ing statement.
Published and unpublished records and inform ation. For the
purpose of complying with section 3 of the Administrative Procedure
Act, as amended by the so-called “ Freedom of Information Act,"
which became effective July 4, 1967, the Corporation, effective on
that date, revised Part 309 of its regulations, which contains provi­
sions relating to the availability of Corporation records and informa­
tion to the public. In the same connection, sections 301.1, 303.10,



32

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

305.1, 307.3, and 334.4 of the Corporation's regulations were
amended in minor respects and the Corporation published a revised
“ Description of Central and Field Organization" in the Federal Regis­
ter on July 4, 1967.
Rules of practice and procedures. Effective August 1, 1967, Part
308 of the Corporation’s regulations was revised in the light of
amendments to section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act con­
tained in the Financial Institutions Supervisory Act of 1966. Subpart A
of the revised Part 308 prescribes rules of practice and procedure
applicable to all hearings held pursuant to the provisions of section 8
pertaining to (1) involuntary termination of the insured status of any
bank, (2) the issuance of cease-and-desist orders against any insured
State nonmember bank, and (3) the issuance of orders removing or
suspending from office or prohibiting from further participation in the
conduct of the bank’s affairs, any director or officer of an insured
State nonmember bank or any other person participating in the con­
duct of the affairs of such a bank. Subparts B, C, and D prescribe
rules and procedures applicable to each of the three classes of pro­
ceedings.
Securities of insured State nonmember banks. Part 335 of the Cor­
poration's regulations, which relates to securities of insured State
nonmember banks that are subject to the registration requirements of
section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, was
amended effective December 31, 1967. The amendments were de­
signed (a) to clarify the meaning of the term “ beneficial ownership”
as it relates to the reporting of ownership of bank stock held by family
members or relatives who reside in the homes of directors, officers
and principal stockholders and (b) to provide for the inclusion of mi­
nority stockholder proposals in banks’ proxy-soliciting material, sub­
ject to proper safeguards.
Payment of deposits and interest. As set forth in greater detail in
the Corporation’s Annual Report for 1966, Parts 327 and 329 of the
Corporation's regulations were amended effective January 1, 1967, to
sharpen the technical distinctions between time deposits and savings
deposits. Part 329 also was amended effective July 1, 1967, to re­
duce the maximum rate of interest or dividends which insured non­
member mutual savings banks in the State of Alaska may pay on de­
posits from 5 1 4 to 5 percent per annum. This placed the Alaska
banks on the same basis generally as similar banks in other States
which had been subject to a 5 percent maximum rate since October 1,
1966. An existing “ grandfather clause” permitting the Alaska banks
to pay a higher rate on certain funds received prior to September 22,
1966, remained in effect.
Employee responsibilities and conduct. Effective October 7, 1967,
the Corporation amended Part 336 in numerous respects. Part 336,



RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

33

which was adopted in April, 1966, pursuant to Executive Order 11222,
prescribes standards of conduct and responsibilities for Corporation
employees. It also contains requirements concerning the reporting of
employment and financial interests, and the principal amendments
were designed to restrict these requirements so as to make them ap­
plicable only to employees in positions where the possibility of conflict-of-interest involvement is clear.
Other amendments. Primarily for editorial reasons and to reflect re­
cent statutory changes, there were a number of minor amendments
made to Parts 303, 304, and 307 and sections 306.2, 325.0,
327.3(c), and 331.1(d) of the Corporation’s regulations effective July
19, 1967.
ADM INISTRATIO N OF THE CORPORATION
Structure and employees. Management of the Corporation is vested
in a Board of Directors, consisting of three members, two of whom
are appointed for six-year terms by the President, with the advice and
consent of the Senate. Of the two directly appointed members, one
serves as Chairman of the Board. The Comptroller of the Currency
serves ex-officio as the third member of the Board.
Mr. William W. Sherrill, Director of the Corporation since March 4,
1966, resigned on April 30, 1967 to accept appointment as a member
of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Mr. K. A.
Randall, appointed as a Director on March 10, 1964, and elected
Chairman of the Board on April 25, 1965, continues in that position.
Mr. William B. Camp, whose appointment as Comptroller of the Cur­
rency was confirmed by the Senate on February 1, 1967, continues as
the ex-officio member.
The organization of the Corporation and officials, Supervising Exam­
iners and District offices are shown on pages iv, v and vi.
Employment of the Corporation on December 31, 1967 was 340
higher than a year earlier, with the increase consisting of 300 perma­
nent and 40 nonpermanent employees. Additions to the examiner
force accounted for most of this increase, while other significant in­
creases occurred in the Division of Liquidation and the Division of Re­
search.
An expanded work load contributed to the need for additional per­
sonnel. The number of employees located in the Washington office
and field offices, classified by division, are shown in Table 7.
Of the Corporation’s total employment, about 72 percent are Exam­
ination Division personnel, of whom over 92 percent are assigned to
the field offices. From an average employment of 964 field examiners
in 1967, 153 left the Corporation during the year, including 34 who
left to enter military service. This gave rise to a turnover rate for field



34

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

examiners of 15.9 percent, compared with 16.7 percent in 1966. The
turnover rate for all permanent employees of the Corporation was
21.3 percent in 1967 compared with 20.8 percent during the previous
year.

also additional optional coverage for eligible personnel.

FINANCES OF THE CORPORATION
Assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities of the Corporation on
December 31, 1967 are shown in Table 8.
Total assets of the Corporation amounted to $3,692 million at the
end of 1967. U.S. Government securities, valued at amortized cost
and including accrued interest, accounted for over 99 percent of total
assets. Most of the remaining assets were various claims and other
assets acquired in insurance transactions, which were valued at
slightly under $18 million after reserves for losses. Land and office
building, less depreciation, were valued at about $8 million. Cash bal­
ances were slightly over $4 million.
Total liabilities at the end of 1967 amounted to $206 million of
which almost $202 million were assessment credits due insured
banks.
The difference between the total assets and total liabilities, $3,485
million on December 31, 1967, constituted the deposit insurance
fund. This fund, consisting of the Corporation’s accumulated net in­
come,, is the basic cash reserve available to the Corporation for the
protection of depositors. Additional resources are available to the Cor­
poration through its borrowing power. The Corporation is authorized

by statute to borrow from the U.S. Treasury, and the Secretary of the
Treasury is authorized and directed to lend up to $3 billion, on such
terms as they agree upon, when in the judgment of the Corporation’s
Board of Directors the funds are needed for insurance purposes. The
Corporation has not had occasion to use this borrowing authority.

ration in 1967 are shown in Table 9. Total income for the year was

$263 million, consisting of $121 million from net assessments on de­
posits of insured banks and $142 million from income on U.S. Government securities.
Assessments earned amounted to almost $303 million in the year.
As provided by statute, the assessments are levied at an annual rate
of
of one percent of assessable deposits. However, a portion of the
difference between assessments and the Corporation’s administrative
and operating expenses and insurance losses each year is returned to
banks in the form of a credit against future assessments. This share
was established at 60 percent under the Act of 1950, and raised to
66% percent in 1961. The total credit in 1967 amounted to about
$182 million, and had the effect of reducing the net assessment rate
to about one thirty-second of one percent of assessable deposits. The
computation of net assessment income in 1967 is shown in Table 10.
The Corporation’s administrative and operating expenses and provi­
sion for insurance losses totaled $29 million in 1967. The net addi­
tion to the insurance fund for the year was $234 million.

1 For the period from 1950 to 1967, inclusive, figures are net after deducting the portion of net assessment income
credited to insured banks pursuant to provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act of 1950, as amended. Assessment
credits to insured banks for these years amounted to $1,970 million.
2 Includes $9.3 million of interest and allowable return received on funds advanced to receivership and deposit
assumption cases by the Corporation.
3 Paid in 1950 and 1951, but allocated among years to which it applies. Initial capital of $289 million was retired by
payments to the United States Treasury in 1947 and 1948.
4 Assessments collected from members of the temporary insurance funds which became insured under the permanent
plan were credited to their accounts at the termination of the temporary funds and were applied toward payment of sub­
sequent assessments becoming due under the permanent insurance fund, resulting in no income to the Corporation from
assessments during the existence of the temporary insurance funds.

Income and the deposit insurance fund, 1 9 3 3 -1 9 6 7 . The Corpora­
tion’s net income, expenses and additions to the insurance fund since
1933 are shown in Table 12.
Assessments have provided almost two-thirds of the Corporation’s
income during the entire period. However, the accumulation of the
fund over the years and its investment in U.S. Government securities
have brought the Corporation an increasing volume of earnings from
this source. By 1961, investment income was providing about one-half
of total income, and subsequently its proportionate contribution has
increased. Administrative and operating expenses have climbed grad­
ually, while insurance losses have been moderate. Since its inception,
the Corporation has been able to retain over 89 percent of its income
for additions to the deposit insurance fund.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Deposits in banks insured by the Corporation and the amount of
the deposit insurance fund each year since 1934 are shown in Table
13. The size of the fund and its immediate availability for the protec­
tion of depositors have contributed importantly to the confidence of
depositors and the stability of the banking system. Following its first
full year of operation, the Corporation has reported net earnings for
transfer to the fund each year, and, except for two years, the fund has
continually grown. The growth of the fund has approximately kept
pace with the growth in insured deposits and total deposits in insured
banks, as indicated by the stability of the percentages in the last two
columns in Table 13.
Audit. A continuous internal audit is provided by the Auditor of the
Corporation. In addition, the financial transactions of the Corporation
are audited each year by the General Accounting Office, a practice be­
gun in 1945. Previously, an audit was conducted each year by private
accounting firms engaged by the Corporation.

The proposed merger would combine the only banks doing business within a
30 mile radius of Ransom, a small town in the rural area of west central Kan­
sas. The two banks are direct competitors to each other and this merger would
eliminate that competition, the only competition which now exists in that area
for any type of banking service.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, J a n u a ry 5 , 1 9 6 7
The proposal would merge the only banks in Ransom, Kansas, a rural com­
munity of 432 population. The banks are small independent units whose com­
bined resources aggregate less than $3.0 million and their offices are situated
one-half block apart. Under State banking laws one banking office would be
eliminated and it is proposed that the resulting bank will occupy the quarters of
Farmers, the bank which is to be absorbed.
The merging banks are under a degree of common ownership to the extent
that eight individuals, including six directors of Farmers, own more than 20 per­
cent of the applicant's stock and 48 percent of the stock of the Farmers. Appli­
cant's lack of an executive officer and a qualified replacement has weakened
the bank's management to a considerable extent. The merging banks do not en­
gage in active solicitation of customers and competition between them is de­
scribed as mild.
The addition of Farmers' IPC deposits would more than double the appli­
cant's volume and the resulting bank would hold $2.2 million of such deposits.
The size disparity between applicant and the larger of its two closest competi­
tors, which has IPC deposits of $3.7 million, would be significantly narrowed
and the resulting bank would continue to be smaller than four of the six banks
within 27 miles of Ransom.
The population of Ransom has been static for about 15 years and the popu­
lation of the county has declined since 1950. The combined average total de­
posits for the merging banks was smaller in 1965 than in either of the two
previous years. Prospects for future growth in the area are not favorable and
there does not appear to be adequate support or need for the two small banks
in this community. Each bank has lending lim its which are not adequate to ac­
commodate the loan requirements of the increasingly larger agricultural units in
the area. The resulting bank would have a legal lending lim it twice that of each
of the merging banks and it is planned that the community will be provided
with new banking quarters which would furnish additional and improved cus­




FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

44

tomer services and conveniences, including a night depository, drive-up window
and additional safe deposit boxes. Furthermore, the proposal would provide
stronger, more aggressive management to the applicant and the community
would be more efficiently and economically served by a single banking office.
The degree of competition which will be eliminated between the two small
merging banks is clearly outweighed in the public interest by the benefits which
will result from the proposal. Following consummation of the merger there
would remain six banking alternatives, in addition to the resulting bank, within
27 miles from Ransom and the proposal would not tend to create a monopoly
or in any other manner be in restraint of trade.

The proposed merger of Hughesville Savings and Southern Maryland will
eliminate existing competition between two banks in a common service area.
While the information given in the application does not permit us to measure
the present concentration and the increase resulting from this proposal, it is
clear that there will be an increase in concentration.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, J a n u a ry 18, 1 9 6 7
The proposal would merge two relatively small banks whose combined re­
sources aggregate little more than $22.0 million. Applicant is the smaller bank
and its only office is located in Hughesville, 12 miles from the sole office of the
National bank in La Plata, which is to be merged. The merging banks operate in
a common service area, described as southern Maryland, which extends north­
ward within 10 miles of the District of Columbia line. No banking locations in­
tervene the offices of the merging banks, however, the National bank's primary
competition is furnished by the La Plata branch of a bank with more than $600
million IPC deposits; the same bank is the applicant's closest competitor with a
branch 8 miles from Hughesville. The proposal would eliminate only a moderate
amount of competition between the merging banks.
On June 30, 1966 there were 24 offices of 11 banks operating in the south­
ern Maryland service area. In 1960 and 1961 two large city banks entered the
northern portion of this service area. The largest bank, Maryland National Bank
with IPC deposits exceeding $600 million, operates four branches in this area in
addition to the La Plata branch and the branch located 8 miles from the appli­
cant. The second largest bank has two branches presently in operation in the
service area and holds almost $300 million in IPC deposits; in addition, it has
two applications pending for branches to be located within 6 and 9 miles from
La Plata. The resulting bank would have total IPC deposits of $17.3 million.
Although the resulting institution will be a small bank compared with the
large city banks in the area, the increase in financial resources and the legal
lending lim it will be substantial relative to those of the separate merging banks.
The resulting bank, by virtue of its larger financial resources and increased



BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

45

managerial resources, would be able to more adequately serve the larger credit
requirements of the community, enlarge the services presently offered to the
depositors and borrowers in the area, and thereby offer more effective competi­
tion in this increasingly competitive service area.
The proposed merger would not substantially lessen competition, tend to
create a monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

The Farmers Bank of Good Hope, located in Fayette County, Ohio, proposes
to acquire the Milledgeville Bank, which operates in a different part of the same
County. The latter had, as of June 30, 1966, total assets of $1.5 million, total
deposits of $1.3 million, and loans and discounts of $701,000. It operates no
branches, provides normal banking services on a relatively limited scale, and
does not exercise trust powers.
The Farmers Bank of Good Hope, like The Milledgeville Bank, functions
through a single office, located in a small rural community. Its resources and
services are even more limited than those of Milledgeville.
The merging banks do not directly compete. They operate under common
ownership, with the same officers and directors. Three other banks in Fayette
County will continue to be substantially larger than the Resulting Bank. There
will also be two other institutions of comparable size, and one smaller bank in
the area.
It is concluded that the effects on competition resulting from this merger will
not be adverse.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, F e b ru a ry 2 , 1 9 6 7
The proposal would merge two unit banks with combined resources of $2.7
million which are located 18 miles apart. The applicant and Jeffersonville Bank
serve separate areas intervened by two significantly larger banks located in the
county seat town. There is no existing competition between the merging banks
and recent acquisition of control of both banks by the same management pre­
cludes competition between them in the future.
The resulting bank would hold only 5.2 percent of the aggregate IPC deposits
held by the nine banks competing in the overall service area. The two largest
banks each hold more than 26 percent of such deposits. Competition in both
merging banks' service areas should be stimulated to some degree by the larger
financial resources of the resulting bank under the existing aggressive common
management.
The increased lending lim it would permit more adequate accommodation of
the agricultural credit needs in the areas of both banks. The present and antici­
pated industrial development in the Jeffersonville area would be better served
and, in general, more comprehensive banking services would be offered both
communities.
The proposed merger would not substantially lessen competition, tend to cre­
ate a monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

Loan losses exceed Wellsville National's total capital account and
management has failed to present a suitable recapitalization plan. The Comp­
troller of the Currency has advised the Corporation that he will appoint a Con­
servator on January 28, 1967 to enter into an agreement with applicant fo r the
sale of all assets of the Wellsville National Bank in consideration of the as­
sumption by the applicant of all deposits and all other obligations and liabilities
of Wellsville National on such terms as a court of record of competent
jurisdiction shall direct.
The participating banks’ offices are located 20 miles apart. Each bank is
faced with competition from larger banks at closer locations and there has been
virtually no competition between them. The increase in applicant's IPC deposit
size as the result of the transaction would have little competitive effect in either
bank's service area.
Wellsville National has been operating since 1907 and in view of the serious
asset and management problems now in evidence it cannot survive as a unit
bank. Under these circumstances it is found that an emergency exists and the
Corporation must act immediately in order to prevent the probable failure of
the bank. There is no other bank in Wellsville and the proposals would continue
uninterrupted banking service in the community.

Citizens Valley Bank, Albany, Oregon, is the resulting bank of a 1965 merger
between Citizens Bank of Albany and Bank of Lebanon, Lebanon, Oregon. As of
August 15, 1966, Citizens had assets of $24,564,000, loans and discounts of
$15,163,000, deposits of $22,084,000, and capital accounts of $1,842,000.
Bank of Shedd, organized in 1913, has no history of mergers or consolida­
tions. It had, as of August 15, 1966, assets of $3,493,000, loans and discounts
of $2,224,000, deposits of $3,084,000, and capital accounts of $390,000 (ad­
justed August 25, 1966).
These banks are located 12 miles apart and deal in the same service area.
Competition between them is present and will be eliminated by the proposed
merger. However, in view of the number and size of the competing banks serv­



47

BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

ing this area, and of Bank of Shedd's relatively small size, we conclude that the
proposed merger will not adversely affect the structure of commercial banking
in the area.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, M arch 2 , 1 9 6 7
The merging banks are located in an area served by a number of branches of
the two largest banks in the State, each of which has more than $1.2 billion in
deposits. Applicant, the third largest bank with $23 million in total deposits,
would acquire by the proposed merger the smallest bank in the area, Bank of
Shedd, which has total deposits of $3.1 million. Bank of Shedd's two offices
serve a small area within that served by the five offices of the applicant, howev­
er, a close working relationship has existed between the two banks since 1961
and there is little competition between the merging banks. Bank of Shedd's fu ­
ture prospects for developing into an effective com petitor are minimal.
The two statewide branch banks represented in the resulting service area
hold the largest proportions (41.9 percent and 24.0 percent) of the aggregate
total deposits held by the banking offices located in the area. Applicant would
increase its percentage from 17.9 percent to 20.3 percent and would continue
to be the third largest bank in terms of total deposits as well as proportionate
shares held. The small increase in the applicant's size would have no adverse
effect on competition in the service area.
Bank of Shedd's small size does not permit it to accommodate the size of
credits demanded in the area it serves. The latter's offices, as branches of the
larger resulting bank, would be able to provide a far greater scope of financing
directly in the communities served.
The proposed merger would not substantially lessen competition, tend to cre­
ate a monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

S u m m a ry report by A tto rn e y G e n e ra l, D e ce m b e r 2 8 , 1 9 6 6
First National and The Edison Bank are both located in Northern Middlesex
County, a rapidly growing residential and industrial area in Central New Jersey.
First National is the smallest of five banks operating in its service area and
of three banks headquartered in that area. It has two branches in addition to its
principal office, all of which are located in South Plainfield. As of June 30,
1966, it had total assets of $7,371,000, total deposits of $6,863,000, total
loans of $3,012,000, and total capital accounts of $476,000.
The Edison Bank is the third largest of five banks operating in its service
area and the second largest of four banks headquartered in that area. In addi­
tion to its main office in Edison, it has three branches. Application for a fourth
office was filed in 1964 but has been held in abeyance at The Edison Bank's re­
quest pending development of the area.
According to the application, the service areas of the merging banks are con­
tiguous, but there appears to be some present competition between them, and
head offices of the two banks are only 4.5 miles apart. If and when the fourth
branch for which The Edison Bank has applied is established, additional compe­
tition would be probable, since that location is only about 2 miles from the



48

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

head office and one branch of First National. From these facts, it would appear
that the merger will eliminate a degree of existing competition and an even
greater degree of potential competition.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, M arch 2 3 , 1 9 6 7
The proposal would combine a $7 million bank operating a total of three of­
fices with a $43 million bank operating a total of four offices. The resulting
bank would continue to operate the three offices of First National. The partici­
pating banks have been under common ownership since 1964. There is no
common management but the president of app.icant attends board meetings of
First National in an advisory capacity.
Both the applicant and First National consider their trade areas to be contig­
uous but not overlapping. Neither of the participating banks has a significant
volume of business in the other bank’s trade area and there is little effective
competition between the two banks.
Applicant’s main office and two branches in Edison Township compete with
the main office and three branches of First Bank and Trust Company, National
Association which has a total of nine offices and total deposits of over $100
million. Other commercial bank competition in the Edison area consists of two
single-unit banks with resources less than the applicant and one branch of a
larger bank.
First National’s three offices compete with Plainfield Trust State National
Bank, Plainfield, which operates its main office and four branches in Plainfield.
All of these offices are within 2 miles of the nearest office of First National.
Plainfield Trust State National Bank has total resources of $112.7 million. Sub­
urban Trust Company, Westfield, with total resources of $66,504,000 and eight
offices also operates a branch in Plainfield. In September of 1966 the former
National State Bank of Plainfield was merged into The National State Bank, Eliz­
abeth, New Jersey, which had total resources of $203 million as of June 30,
1966 and now operates three branches in Plainfield.
Applicant has 13.8 percent of the IPC deposits in the resulting bank’s trade
area and would have 16.7 percent after the merger. Applicant is second to
Plainfield Trust State National Bank which has 48.4 percent of the IPC deposits
in the trade area. The other banks and branches in the trade area have less IPC
deposits than the applicant but one bank with IPC deposits almost equal to the
resulting bank operates a branch in the trade area and two larger banks also
operate branches in the resulting bank’s trade area.
This proposed merger would enable the resulting bank to compete more ef­
fectively in the market and thereby increase competition. The benefits of in­
creased lending limits, improved managerial resources and automation would
accrue mainly to the South Plainfield area but would also permit the applicant
to compete more effectively with the larger banks operating in the Edison area.
The proposed merger would not substantially lessen competition, tend to
create a monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

gon, proposes to merge with- Citizens ESank, Eugene, Oregon (hereinafter C iti­
zens), with its main office in Eugene and a branch in adjoining Springfield,
Oregon. As of November 23, 1966, Emerald had total deposits of $4,788,000
and Citizens had total deposits of $20,742,000. The closest offices of the two
banks are about 3 miles apart.
The merger would eliminate existing and potential competition between the
banks and would increase the concentration of banking resources in the Eugene
- Springfield area.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, M arch 2 3 , 1 9 6 7
The proposal would merge the two smallest banks serving the Eugene-Springfield area. Applicant holds total deposits of $20.7 million and National holds to ­
tal deposits of almost $4.8 million. The two largest banks in the State, each of
which is headquartered in Portland and operates more than 100 offices and
holds more than $1.1 billion in total deposits, operate an aggregate of 14 offi­
ces in this area. One other bank serves the area; it is headquartered in Port­
land, holds total deposits of almost $61 million and operates a branch in
Eugene.
National has a branch in the small farm community of Veneta, 12 miles west
from its main office in Eugene. The applicant's only branch is located in Spring­
field, 4 miles east of Eugene. Surrounding the applicant's main office and
within a radius of eight blocks are six branches of the large competing banks.
National’s chief competition is from three branches of the State's two largest
banks. Applicant’s Springfield branch faces competition from three branches of
the two largest banks in the State. The merging banks' main offices, which are
their closest offices, are 3 miles apart and are intervened by a branch of each
of the three larger banks serving the area. There is little competition between
the merging banks.
The two largest banks in the State operate 14 of the 19 offices in the service
area and, in the aggregate, these offices hold almost 85 percent of the total de­
posits held by all bank offices in the area. The relatively nominal increase in the
applicant’s share of the aggregate deposits, from 11.7 percent to 14.2 percent
would have no significant effect on competition in the resulting service area.
The serious asset, capital and managerial problems of National substantially
diminish its ability to provide effective competition and adequately serve the
community. These problems would be resolved under the satisfactory financial
and managerial resources of the applicant and the comm unity would be better
served by National's offices as branches of the resulting bank.
The proposed merger would not substantially lessen competition, tend to
create a monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

The proposed acquisition would join two relatively small banks (assets of
$10,096,00 and $3,716,100, respectively) doing business in a predominantly
agricultural area within a radius of 25 miles of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The
banks are located 25 miles apart and there is apparently no competition be­

banking structure in the area.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, A p ril 6, 1 9 6 7
This proposed transaction would combine two banks whose main offices are
18 miles apart. The applicant operates three offices and has total assets of
$10,186,000 and Farmers with total assets of $3,877,000 operates two offices.
The trade areas of the participating banks do not overlap and they are not di­
rectly competitive. There are two unit banks located in the area between the
participating banks.
The president and cashier of Farmers have decided to retire and no provision
has been made for management succession. The proposed transaction would
result in better banking services for the two small communities now served by
Farmers. With aggressive management and larger financial resources the Result­
ing Bank would be in a position to offer more complete banking services which
should stimulate competition in Farmers’ trade area rather than lessen it.
This proposed transaction would not substantially lessen competition, tend to
create a monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

The Madison Bank and Trust Company, Madison, Indiana, with total assets of
$20,035,000 and three branch offices, proposes to purchase the assets and as­
sume the liabilities of the North Madison Bank, Madison, Indiana, which has
total assets of $3,306,000, and to operate the acquired properties as a branch
office.
Applicant bank is the largest bank in Madison, Indiana and in its service
area. The participating banks are two of only three competitor banks located in
Madison, Indiana. The area is mixed industrial, residential and agricultural. Nei­
ther bank has merged, consolidated or effected an acquisition of assets or as­
sumption of liabilities with any other bank within the past 10 years.
The proposed acquisition will eliminate existing competition between the par­
ticipating banks, and increase the already high level of banking concentration
within the county. Banking alternatives in Madison, Indiana will be reduced
from three to two, and the applicant bank’s dominant position in the service
area in which it does the major part of its business will be materially enhanced.

Applicant, which has $16.8 million IPC deposits, would acquire the assets
and assume the Selling Bank’s liabilities, including IPC deposits of almost $2.8
million, under the proposed transaction. Applicant’s main office and the sole of­
fice of the Selling Bank are 3 miles apart in the city of Madison. Selling Bank's
closest competitor is the national bank headquartered in Madison which has
IPC deposits of $6.9 million and a branch less than one mile east from Selling
Bank. Applicant's office closest to Selling Bank is i y 2 miles west.
There are six commercial banks, in addition to the participating banks, within
a 15-mile radius of Madison. Considerable competition is furnished by two sav­



BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

ings and loan associations in Madison which together hold withdrawable bal­
ances of $18.2 million. One other association, in Carrollton, Kentucky, holds
withdrawable balances of $3.7 million. The relative increase in applicant’s size
would not have significant adverse effects on competition in Madison or in the
overall service area. Commercial banks outside the service area, particularly in
Kentucky, furnish competition to the participating banks for savings deposits;
these and other banks outside the service area also provide some competition
for commercial and other loans. Existing competition between the small, single­
office Selling Bank and the applicant would be eliminated, however, it is not
considered substantial relative to the overall competition provided by the nu­
merous commercial banks in the service area, the commercial banks outside
the area and the nonbank sources in Madison and throughout the service area.
Each of the three banks in Madison has been in operation for more than 50
years. The limited resources attained by the Selling Bank during its history
prevents it from adequately serving the industrial segment of the community
which has undergone expansion in recent years. Selling Bank is presently under
the active management of a 75 year-old president and its executive vice presi­
dent is in ill health and on leave of absence. Under this situation, and in view
of the lack of management succession which the bank has been unable to re­
solve by other means over an extended period of time, the future prospects for
Selling Bank to aggressively compete and adequately meet the expanding indus­
trial needs of the community are minimal.
The proposal would not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a
monopoly, or in any other manner be in restraint of trade. Any unfavorable
competitive effects that could result from the merger would be outweighed by
the resolution of the management succession problem confronting the Selling
Bank and by the increased support which the resulting bank would give to the
community, particularly its industrial sector.

Arapahoe Bank with assets of $7,205,000 proposes to acquire the assets and
assume the liabilities to pay deposits made in Valley National Bank, a bank with
assets of $4,951,000. The banks are both located in the town of Littleton, Colo­
rado, population about 21,500, about 10-1/2 miles distant from Denver,
Colorado. The town of Littleton is included in the Denver metropolitan area.
Well over 70 percent of the deposits and loans of each bank originate in the
primary service area of the other bank, and the two banks would appear to
compete actively with one another. The resulting bank would control 43 percent
of the deposits and 52 percent of the loans and discounts of the remaining
three banks in Littleton.
Arapahoe Bank is presently a subsidiary of Denver U. S. Bancorporation, a
registered bank holding company controlling five banks in Colorado with depos­
its in excess of $435,254,000. These deposits represent 14.9 percent of the to ­
tal deposits held by commercial banks in Colorado. Three of the subsidiary



52

banks of Denver Bancorporation are located in the Denver metropolitan area
and one of these three banks is the second largest bank in Denver with total
deposits of over $385,000,000.
Both the entire Denver metropolitan area— and the narrower suburban Little­
ton area— may represent relevant markets for certain classes of customers in
Colorado, a unit banking State. Some smaller Littleton business borrowers and
many individual depositors may be limited to the more convenient suburban
community while larger and better known business firms probably have access
also to financing within the entire Denver area.
Within the Denver metropolitan area the proposed merger would appear to re­
sult in a further increase in banking concentration and a lessening of present
and potential competition. This results from the merging bank's present asso­
ciation with Denver Bancorporation, which now controls 24 percent of deposits
within the Denver market.
Also, Denver Bancorporation would, through this proposed acquisition by its
subsidiary (Arapahoe Bank), acquire a dominant competitive position within the
narrower Littleton suburban community as well, affecting im portant classes of
smaller local customers.
Finally, the proposed merger would result in the complete elimination of sub­
stantial present competition between the participating banks, within both the
Littleton and Denver markets.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, M ay 2 , 1 9 6 7
The purchase of Valley’s assets by the applicant would result in a bank with
$12 million in resources and comparable in size to The Littleton National Bank,
the participating banks’ closest commercial bank competitor. The applicant and
Valley are located one mile apart and no commercial bank offices intervene.
Branch banking is prohibited by statute. Applicant will abandon its present
quarters and move to those presently occupied by Valley. In addition to the ap­
plicant, there are five commercial banks, two industrial banks and six offices of
five savings and loan associations located within a 3-mile radius of Valley.
Applicant would substantially increase its IPC deposit size by the assumption
of Valley's liabilities but would remain smaller than the closest competitor in
Littleton, The Littleton National Bank. In addition, two other commercial banks
competing in the service area, located in Englewood, are significantly larger
than the resulting bank in deposit size. The resulting bank would be a subsidi­
ary of applicant’s parent company, Denver U. S. Bancorporation, Inc., Denver, a
registered bank holding company. Each of the two larger banks in Englewood
are also subsidiaries of two other registered bank holding companies and a
fourth competitor, the First National Bank of Southglenn, is an affiliate of a na­
tional bank in Denver which is the largest bank in the State.
Valley was opened for business in 1963. Serious loan problems have
developed and its management is regarded as unsatisfactory. Consummation of
the purchase and assumption agreement would resolve the asset and manage­
rial problems of Valley. The proposal would eliminate one of the banking alter­
natives in Littleton, however, its problems lim it its ability to adequately serve
the community and effectively compete in the service area. The resulting bank,
under applicant's management and with increased financial resources and the
services available through the holding company, would be in a position to offer
improved services to Valley's customers and to the community as a whole,
especially the local business sector.
Although this proposal involves a reduction in competition, it is not believed
the overall effect would be to substantially lessen competition in view of the
loan problems and unsatisfactory management of Valley, the total competition
provided by the commercial banks and nonbank sources located directly in the
resulting service area, and the competitive influence on the area from banks
and other financial institutions in nearby Denver. Any unfavorable competitive
effects which would result from the proposal are outweighed in the public inter­

First-Citizens was organized in 1898. It presently operates 108 offices in 49
North Carolina communities and has received regulatory permission to open
eight additional de novo branches. As of September 20, 1966, First-Citizens had
total assets of $512,433,000 and net loans and discounts of $274,141,000, to ­
tal deposits of $453,843,000 and total capital accounts of $30,111,000.
Commercial Bank was organized in 1927. Its only office is in Reidsville, North
Carolina (population— 14,267). Reidsville is the principal city of Rockingham
County, which is in the center of the northern tier of counties in North Carolina.
As of September 20, 1966, Commercial Bank had total assets of $2,509,000
and net loans and discounts of $1,582,000, total deposits of $2,165,000 and
total capital accounts of $145,000.
There appears to be little if any existing competition between the merging
banks, as indicated by the relatively small size of Commercial Bank and the dis­
tance between it and the nearest offices of First-Citizens (25 miles).
The proposed merger would eliminate potential competition between the
merging banks. North Carolina banking laws permit unrestricted de novo
branching. First-Citizens would appear to be one of the most likely de novo en­
trants into the Reidsville area, in view of the proximity of its nearest office to
the area and the fact that since its organization First-Citizens has established
over 100 de novo branches.

Commercial was organized in 1927 as an industrial bank; although it con­
verted to the status of a commercial bank in 1960, its operations and policies
continue largely unchanged. Instalment loans represent more than 80 percent of
total loans and time deposits comprise 70 percent of total deposits. It operates
neither branches nor a trust department. Within Reidsville there are also head­
quartered two other banks, both considerably larger than Commercial, serving
this industrial community of 14,300 population with five offices. Non-bank
competition includes two savings and loan associations in Reidsville.
Applicant is the fourth largest bank in North Carolina and the instant proposal
will not change this rank. It operates 107 branches in 51 communities in 28
of the State’s 100 counties and approval has been obtained for the establish­
ment of 10 additional offices which have not yet opened for business. Its main
office is at Smithfield, 115 miles southeast of Reidsville, and is branches nearest
to Commercial are the six located in Greensboro, 24 miles southwest of Reids­
ville. Within Greensboro are represented also the first, second and third largest
banks of the State with 7, 11 and 6 branches respectively. The subject proposal
would have insignificant effect on competition in the areas presently served by
applicant.
Commercial and applicant are not presently in competition with each other
and there is small likelihood they would become competitive in the future. Ap­
plicant would gain an office in a county in which it is not now represented. The



54

Reidsville community would benefit from the substitution of a bank branch sup­
ported by all the resources and specialized departments of the applicant. Appli­
cant would offer trust facilities, a considerably wider range of credit services
and a much larger lending capacity than presently afforded by Commercial. In
the Reidsville area, the effect on bank competition would be favorable.
The proposal would not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a
monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

(deposits of $5,375,400) some 20 miles northwest of Titusville, in northwestern

would not adversely affect competition.

This proposal would combine two banks whose main offices are 22 miles
apart which is the shortest distance between offices of the participating banks.
The applicant operates six offices and has total assets of $62,412,000 and
Bank of Union with total assets of $5,931,000 operates two offices. Applicant
has one office at Pleasantville, 6 miles southeast of the main office, and its
other four offices are located in the central and northern sections of Warren
County. The closest of these four offices in Warren County is 32 miles from ap­
plicant's main office in Crawford County and the trade area served by these of­
fices does not extend beyond Warren County. Bank of Union is located in the
southeastern portion of Erie County and its one office at Wattsburg is 8 miles
northeast of Union City. The two offices of Bank of Union and the four offices
of applicant in Warren County are separated by two other commercial banks' of­
fices and they are not regarded as being directly competitive.
The Resulting Bank's extensive trade area is in the northwestern section of
the State where competition is intense and while this proposed transaction
would eliminate an insignificant amount of competition between the participat­
ing banks it would also enable the applicant to compete more effectively with
its larger competitors and thereby stimulate competition. Other competition in
the trade area consists of four branches of banks whose main offices are located
outside of the trade area and 13 offices of banks headquartered in the trade
area. Of the other commercial banks operating in the trade area, five are larger
than the applicant and one is almost equal in size. In addition to Bank of
Union, the Union Bank & Trust Co., Erie, which is almost as large as the appli­
cant, has an office in Union City and it is becoming increasingly difficult for
Bank of Union to cope with this competition.
This proposed transaction would not substantially lessen competition, tend to
create a monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

This is a proposal whereby the Industrial Valley Bank and Trust Company
( “ Industrial Valley") would acquire about 59 percent of the assets of the Na­
tional Bank of Malvern ( ‘ Malvern Bank") and would assume the same propor­
tion of its liabilities. The assets to be transferred to Industrial Valley include
one of Malvern Bank’s two offices (at Paoli, Pennsylvania).
The proposed transaction would eliminate any direct competition which exists
between Malvern Bank's Paoli office and Industrial Valley's offices (the closest
of which is 9 miles to the north in Phoenixville). At the same time, it should
create at least the possibility of competition between Malvern Bank's two exist­
ing offices— which are 2 miles apart— since one of them will be operated by In­
dustrial Valley and the other by Malvern Bank. Thus, provided the proposed
transaction leaves Malvern Bank sufficiently strong to be a viable competitor,
the two opposite effects would probably offset each other.
Industrial Valley appears to be the largest bank operating in Chester County,
Pennsylvania (where it has five of its 28 offices and Malvern Bank has both its
offices). Its acquisition of the Paoli office of Malvern Bank would appear to in­
crease by about 2 percent its share of the county's IPC demand deposits.

Applicant has $248 million in resources and operates 28 offices in four
southeastern Pennsylvania counties. Its main office and one branch are in Jenkintown, Montgomery County, which is about 12 miles north from downtown
Philadelphia. Nine other branches are located in Montgomery County, 10
branches are located in Philadelphia County, six are in Chester County and one
is in Delaware County. Applicant would acquire 58.733 percent of the assets
and liabilities of Malvern, a bank with resources of $6.8 million, including the
latter's only branch at Paoli which is 2 miles from Malvern. The main office at
Malvern would continue to operate as an independent bank.
Applicant's branch at Phoenixville is 9 miles north of Paoli and is appli­
cant's nearest office to either of Malvern's locations. Phoenixville and Paoli are
intervened by the east-west Pennsylvania Turnpike and the volume of business
which each derives from the other's service area is negligible. The proposal
would eliminate only minimal competition between the participating banks. Mal­
vern is the smallest bank in its service area and faces competition from seven
offices of four commercial banks and one office of a mutual savings bank which
holds deposits of almost $1.7 billion. One commercial bank is headquartered in
Paoli and has deposits of more than $30 million. Two other commercial banks
in the area have deposits o f'm ore than $350 million and $1.5 billion and pre­
sently compete with the applicant at other locations. Competition in the Malvern-Paoli area should be significantly enhanced, and the convenience and
needs of the comm unity would be much better served.
The applicant derives the major portion of its business from the three coun­
ties of Montgomery, Philadelphia and Chester. In addition to the participating
banks, there are 29 competing commercial and mutual savings banks in these



56

counties which operate 410 offices. Applicant is eighth largest bank and has to ­
tal deposits of $225.6 million. Six of the larger commercial banks are in Phila­
delphia and one is located in Montgomery County; four of these competitors
have deposits ranging from $334 million to $842 million and three hold depos­
its exceeding $1.0 billion. Each of the four mutual savings banks in Philadelphia
is larger than the applicant and hold deposits ranging from $256 million to $1.7
billion. Applicant's assumption of about $3.3 million of Malvern's total deposits
would have little effect on competition in applicant's service area.
The proposal would not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a
monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

Salisbury Savings Bank ("Salisbury Savings"), Salisbury, Missouri— which
holds over 50 percent of the IPC demand deposits in Chariton County, Missouri
— proposes to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of Farmers Savings
Bank of Clifton Hill (“ Farmers” ), Clifton Hill, Missouri, a small bank in neigh­
boring Randolph County.
The proposed acquisition would eliminate existing competition between these
two banks— which are only 7 miles apart and are the only banks within this
immediate area. The existence of competition between the two banks is under­
scored by the fact that the Salisbury Savings Bank will have to close the former
Farmers office in Clifton Hill, and transfer customer accounts to the Salisbury
office, in order to comply with the prohibitions against branch banking under
the Missouri law. On the other hand, Farmers may be such a small institution
that it is not, in reality, able to offer effective competition at this time.
The proposed acquisition will cause some increase in concentration. It will in­
crease by about 3 percent Salisbury Savings’ share (now about 33 percent) of
demand deposits in the service area defined in the application.

The Fort Thomas-Bellevue Bank, Fort Thomas, Kentucky, proposes to acquire

The Fort Thomas-Bellevue Bank operates its only branch office approximately
5 miles northwest of Fort Thomas in Bellevue, four city blocks south of the only
office of Dayton Bank. The transaction, if approved, will eliminate all competi­
tion presently existing between the Bank of Dayton and the Fort

concentration within Campbell County, although some additional competition is
provided by the Cincinnati, Ohio banks just across the Ohio River.

The applicant is a $15 million bank with two offices in Campbell County, Ken­
tucky within easy access of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. The single office selling
bank has $3.7 million in resources and is located in the comm unity of Dayton,
about 4 miles from applicant's main office in Fort Thomas. Applicant's branch
is in Bellevue, a comm unity adjacent to Dayton, 0.7 mile from selling bank's o f­
fice. The communities of Dayton and Bellevue are located along the Ohio River
opposite the city of Cincinnati and are part of the Cincinnati metropolitan area.
Most of the residents of the participating banks' locations commute to Cincin­
nati for employment.
While no commercial bank offices intervene any of the participating banks'
locations, each of the latters' offices are directly competitive with other com­
mercial banks at closer locations. The participating banks compete not only
with the large commercial banks and savings and loan associations in Cincin­
nati, but with 13 other commercial bank offices in Campbell County, 12 savings
and loan associations in that County including six which are located in Fort
Thomas, Dayton and Bellevue, and numerous other nonbank financial institu­
tions.
While the proposal would eliminate competition between the participating
banks, the amount thereof is not considered to be substantial. Moreover, it ap­
pears to be insignificant relative to the total competition furnished by the nu­
merous commercial banks and nonbank sources located in Campbell County
and in downtown Cincinnati. The increased size of the applicant would not have
material adverse effects on competition in the Campbell County service area
and would permit it to compete more effectively with the other financial institu­
tions.
The proposal would resolve the selling bank's management succession
problem. The resulting bank's aggressive management, by virtue of its greater

the communities to be served and offer more effective competition, especially
to the larger Cincinnati, Ohio banks and other financial institutions which repre­

Empire City Savings Bank, incorporated in 1889, operates its head office at

The head offices of the two banks and their branches are in close proximity,

The merging savings banks face competition from some 16 other savings

banks is 0.9 mile, sufficient in these circumstances to render them largely non­
competitive and to confine their operations to separate and distinct areas. Any
competition between the two merging banks is small and indirect. Common bor­
rowers and depositors are few although legal limitations and deposit insurance
ceilings on deposits generally tend to promote some duplication of accounts at
mutual savings banks that are truly competing against each other.
Applicant and Empire City are among the smallest of the 18 mutual savings
banks in the borough of Manhattan and the 50 in New York City, numbering
14th and 16th, respectively, in the borough and 33rd and 42nd in the city. The
resulting bank would rank 13th in size in the borough and 24th in the city. By
their field of operation, restricted by law largely to the acceptance of savings



59

BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

deposits and the extension of real estate and certain specified other loans, ap­
plicant and Empire City face vigorous competition from the city’s concentration
of commercial banks, savings and loan associations and insurance companies.
Financial and managerial resources and future prospects of both banks are
satisfactory although it is maintained that improved banking locations must be
acquired. The resulting bank would begin operations on a sound basis. Certain
improvements in services afforded the community would be made practicable
by the proposed merger, including the installation of an on-line EDP deposit ac­
counting system such as employed by considerably larger competing mutual
savings banks. There would also be gained an increased capacity to handle
large real estate loan requests. Various economies are expected to accrue to
the resulting bank which would tend to strengthen dividend-paying ability and
competitive power.
This proposal would not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a
monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

This is a proposal to merge the single-office Elkins Park National Bank (“ El­
kins National"), located 10 miles north of Philadelphia, with Industrial Valley
Bank and Trust Company ( “ Industrial Valley"), which operates 28 offices in
Philadelphia, Montgomery, Chester, and Delaware counties.
The two banks appear to be in direct competition. Their head offices are only
2 miles apart in neighboring communities in Montgomery County and Industrial
Valley has six other offices within the primary service area of Elkins National.
This existing competition would be eliminated by the merger; nevertheless, the
adverse effect would be considerably mitigated by the presence in the area of a
considerable number of other banks, including branches of the large Philadel­
phia-based banks.
The merger would also involve some relatively slight increase in banking
concentration. Elkins National has 0.7 percent of the IPC demand deposits in
Montgomery County and less than 0.1 percent of such deposits in the Philadel­
phia Metropolitan Area. Industrial Valley (whose figures are not broken down by
branch) would appear to hold between 10 and 15 percent of the IPC demand
deposits in Montgomery County and 2.9 percent of such deposits in the Phila­
delphia Metropolitan market as a whole.

National is a $4.4 million single office bank located in Elkins Park, Pennsylva­
nia, which is experiencing serious liquidity, asset, capital, earnings and
management problems. The bank's common capital is impaired substantially
and its blanket bond has been terminated. The applicant is a well-managed,
aggressive institution with resources of more than $200 million. Its main office
at Jenkintown is in Montgomery County and about 12 miles north from down­
town Philadelphia; it operates a total of 28 offices in four southeastern Pennsyl­
vania counties.
Elkins Park is about 2 miles from Jenkintown and within applicant's service

area. There is little competition between the merging banks since their deposit
and loan structures reflect major differences. Moreover, National's many serious
problems lim it its effectiveness as a competitor. National and the applicant
each face competition from numerous significantly larger commercial and mu­
tual savings banks. The relatively nominal increase in applicant's size and its
acquisition of a branch in Elkins Park would have little competitive effect in the
resulting service area.
The Comptroller of the Currency has certified that an emergency condition
exists and the Corporation finds it must act immediately in order to prevent the
probable failure of National. The proposal would resolve National's problems
and would not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or,
in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

The proposed merger involves acquisition by one of two commercial banks in
Sylvania, Ohio, a suburb of Toledo, Ohio, of the assets of Sylvania's only sav­
ings and loan institution. Total deposits of the acquiring bank, Sylvania Savings,
are $41.8 million and share accounts of the Community Savings and Loan Asso­
ciation amount to $8.7 million. Both institutions operate branches in western
Toledo, which is immediately adjacent to Sylvania, and they compete with
branches of four major Toledo commercial banks and four major Toledo savings
and loan institutions.
The proposed merger would eliminate some competition with respect to time
deposits and mortgage loans, which are the only services which both institu­
tions offer; the areas which would be most immediately affected are Sylvania
and the western part of Toledo. The two institutions are nevertheless not major
factors in either product market, and the resulting increase in concentration
would not be substantial.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, Ju n e 13, 1 9 6 7
The proposed purchase and assumption transaction would combine Sylvania
Bank, a $41.8 million commercial bank headquartered in Sylvania, Ohio, with
seven offices in the Sylvania-Toledo, Ohio area, and an $8.9 million Sylvania
savings and loan association which has one branch in Toledo. Association's
main office will serve as the mortgage department and trust department of the
resulting bank. Its present branch will be closed at expiration of a six-m onth
transition period following consummation of the proposal. The branch is about
one block from an office of Sylvania Bank and its closing will cause no incon­
venience to customers in that vicinity.
Competition between the participating institutions is limited to mortgage
loans and time deposits. There is no competition between them with respect to
the numerous other commercial banking activities. Moreover, the degree of
competition between Sylvania Bank and Association is curtailed by their close
relationship through common ownership and long-existing common manage­
ment.



BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

61

Sylvania is a fast-growing suburb of the highly industrial City of Toledo in Lu­
cas County, Ohio. Competition for both participating institutions is furnished
primarily by five other commercial banks and four other savings and loan asso­
ciations which operate numerous offices in and near Toledo. Sylvania Bank is
the fifth largest of the commercial banks and Association is by far the smallest
savings and loan association in the Sylvania-Toledo service area. The $8.5 m il­
lion total deposits of Association to be assumed would raise Sylvania Bank’s po­
sition to fourth but it would continue to face competition from three substan­
tially larger banks which hold total deposits ranging between $150 million and
$400 million and four savings and loan associations holding withdrawable bal­
ances ranging between $70 million and $200 million. The increase in Sylvania
Bank's size would have no significant effect on competition in the service area.
Association has experienced net deposit losses in recent years and its future
prospects for growth and earnings appear to be limited. This proposal would re­
solve these problems. Association's customers will continue to receive generally
the same mortgage loan and time deposit services which were available at As­
sociation plus the numerous additional services offered by a commercial bank.
There will remain 21 offices of the other savings and loan associations in the
Sylvania-Toledo area which would be accessible to any customers of Association
who may prefer to deal with a savings and loan association.
The proposal would not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a
monopoly or, in any other manner, be in restraint of trade.

The proposed merger of the Western Bank ( “ Western Bank"), Coos Bay, Ore­
gon (total deposits $19.9 m illion), and the Bank of Illinois Valley ("Illin o is Val­
ley"), Cave Junction, Oregon (total deposits $3.0 m illion), involves two banks
operating in essentially different banking markets; their head offices are 145
miles apart in nonadjacent counties; and Western Bank's nearest branch to Illi­
nois Valley’s only office is about 40 miles away and in a different county.
In Josephine County, Illinois Valley holds about 7 percent of total IPC
demand deposits; in Coos County and Curry County, together, Western Bank
holds about 20 percent of total IPC demand deposits. It appears unlikely that
there is any present direct competition between the merging banks. There are
no common depositors or borrowers. Each bank operates in what would appear
to be essentially distinct service areas, involving separate counties, with a dis­
tance between nearest offices of 40 miles.
We conclude that the proposed merger would not adversely affect competi­
tion.

Western Bank, Coos Bay, Oregon, a State nonmember bank, with total depos­
its of $19.6 million, has applied, pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, for the Corporation’s prior approval to
merge with Bank of Illinois Valley, Cave Junction, Oregon (Valley), a State non­
member bank which has total deposits of $2.7 million. The banks would merge

sole office of Valley would become a branch of applicant, increasing the number
of its offices to seven.
Competition. Applicant's six offices are located in five communities spanning
about 118 miles along the southern coastline of the State of Oregon. The site
of the main office and one branch is the deepwater port of Coos Bay, estimated
population 13,800. Valley's sole office is situated in the southeastern Oregon
community of Cave Junction, population 330. This Josephine County community
is located in the Siskiyou Mountains, 14 miles north of the California bound­
ary. Valley's sole office is 75 road miles to the east of applicant's nearest
branch, at Brookings, in adjacent Curry County, and there is nothing to indicate
any competition existing between the merging banks. Valley's nearest competi­
tors are situated to the northeast at Grants Pass, 30 miles distant.
Four of the five communities in the two-county area now served by the of­
fices of the applicant have at least one competing bank office. The principal
competitors of each of the merging banks are the State's two banking giants
which in aggregate hold by far the major portion of its banking business.
The resulting bank, which would serve a three-county area, would have less
than 15 percent of the total deposit volume in the resulting service area. The
merger would have no adverse effects on competition.
Financial and managerial resources and prospects. The banking factors are
favorable with respect to each of the merging banks, as they would be with
respect to the resulting bank.
Convenience and needs of the community to be served. The merger would
not have a substantial effect on the convenience and needs of the areas now
served by applicant but it would benefit Cave Junction by providing larger lend­
ing limits, and that form er Valley office will have available to it management
depth, audit services and sim ilar benefits which the larger institution can pro­
vide.
Conclusion. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the merger would
not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade, and would benefit the banking convenience
and needs in the Cave Junction area.

American Bank and Trust Co. of Pa. ( “ American") is the largest bank in
Berks County and adjacent counties of Lebanon, Lancaster, and Schuylkill, an
area within which branching by banks with head offices in Berks is permitted by
State law. As of November 30, 1966, American had assets of $298,445,000 and
deposits of $262,852,000. Myerstown Bank and Trust Company, Myerstown,
Lebanon County, Pennsylvania (“ Myerstown Bank") as of November 30, 1966,
had assets of $24,006,000 and deposits of $21,031,000.
Within the service area of Myerstown Bank (Lebanon County) there are 10
banking offices holding between them $163 million of deposits (as of June 30,
1966). The three largest banks, combined, in Lebanon County (including the
Myerstown Bank) accounted for slightly over half the total county deposits.
Alone, the Myerstown Bank accounted for approximately 12 percent of total
county deposits, and is the third largest bank in the County.



BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

63

The acquiring bank (American) derives only a very small amount of demand
deposits ($27,000) from within Lebanon County, constituting a negligible share
of total county deposits (about .03 percent); its loans to Lebanon County cus­
tomers ($1.4 m illion) comprise the higher but still small proportion of about 1
percent of total county loans. It may be concluded that the present degree of
competition between the American and Myerstown Banks is probably not signifi­
cant.
However, the proposed merger will eliminate all future potential competition
between these two banks. American is by far the largest bank in the four-county
area. It has grown to a considerable extent by the merger process. In expanding
from $5 million of deposits in 1929 to $263 million currently, American has ac­
quired $67 million, or approximately 25 percent by absorbing other banks.
Some $45 million of deposits have been acquired in six mergers since 1960.
Lebanon County is surrounded by the area presently served by American.
If this merger is not approved, therefore, Arperican would be the most likely
entrant into Lebanon County by de novo branching or by merger with a smaller
bank in the area.
Moreover, if this merger is authorized, further acquisitions involving other in­
dependent banks within the area may be stimulated, and there are indications
that this process of consolidation has already commenced.
If, however, any reason exists to warrant elimination of Myerstown Bank by
merger— and none is apparent on the facts presented— less anticompetitive al­
ternatives are available. The Bank’s directors state, "The bank has been
approached by several institutions [to merge].”

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, J u ly 2 7 , 1 9 6 7
American Bank and Trust Co. of Pa., Reading, Pennsylvania (applicant), a
State nonmember bank with total deposits of about $275.4 million, has applied,
pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insur­
ance Act, for the Corporation's prior approval to merge with Myerstown Bank
and Trust Company, Myerstown, Pennsylvania (Myerstown Bank), a State mem­
ber bank which has total deposits of about $21.6 million. The banks would
merge under applicant's charter and as an incident to the merger the two of­
fices of Myerstown Bank would become branches of the applicant, increasing
the number of its offices to 19.
Competition. Applicant is headquartered in Reading (population 98,177), the
principal city and seat of Berks County, Pa. Eleven of its branches are located
in Reading and general vicinity, three are in Schuylkill County, north of Berks,
and two are in Lancaster County, southwest of Berks. Both offices of Myerstown
Bank are located in Myerstown (population about 3,300), Lebanon County, west
of Berks. They are 21 miles distant from West Reading, site of applicant’s clos­
est office. Six offices of other banks are located in the intervening area, includ­
ing four offices of the $114.5 million deposit Peoples Trust City Bank, Reading,
Pa., and an office of the $84.6 million deposit Reading Trust Co.
The applicant derives only a very small portion of its demand deposits and
loans from Lebanon County and existing competition between it and Myerstown
Bank is not significant. The latter competes primarily with 10 other banks w ith­
in 15 miles of Myerstown. Since Myerstown Bank is located about 3 miles from
the Berks County line, it has some Berks County business, e.g., about 12 per­
cent in demand deposits and a somewhat larger percentage in loans. Its largest
competitor is the Berks-based Peoples Trust City Bank. Myerstown Bank also re­
ceives competition from two larger banks located in the City of Lebanon, about
6 1/ 2 miles west of Myerstown.
Applicant has been expanding over the years and could legally apply to es­
tablish a de novo branch in Myerstown Bank’s area. But it is not clear that
applicant could obtain regulatory approval for such a branch. According to ap­
plicant, it has attempted to branch de novo where it believed this feasible but
there is no area in western Berks County and eastern Lebanon County which
lacks a convenient banking facility. In February, 1967, the State denied appli­



FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

64

cant's request to establish a de novo branch in Chester County, and earlier, in
September, 1965, denied its request for such a branch in the City of Lancaster.
Myerstown Bank, on the other hand, claims to be interested not in expanding
into other areas but in merging with a substantially larger bank, primarily be­
cause of the loss of business accounts whose credit needs have outstripped its
loan limits. Even if applicant succeeded in penetrating the Myerstown area de
novo, the result could be to worsen this situation rather than produce signifi­
cant competition between the merging institutions. Myerstown Bank indicates it
decided to confine its merger discussions to applicant because of the sim ilarity
of their loan policies in promoting local economic welfare, and it is a fact that
applicant has a good record in this respect. In view of the foregoing circum­
stances, it does not appear that this merger is likely to foreclose any meaning­
ful potential competition.
The merger would increase applicant’s share of the deposits in the resulting
bank's service area by 1.1 percent, giving it 17 percent of the aggregate. While
applicant is the largest bank, there are 70 other banks in the service area and
some of these are sizable competitors. So are the out-of-area banks which solicit
the prosperous local industries and commercial establishments. No objections
to the merger were offered during the field interviews with banking officials,
which included the Myerstown area where any harmful impact of this proposal
would be mainly felt.
The merger would have no significant adverse effects on competition.
Financial and managerial resources and prospects. The banking factors are
favorable with respect to the merging banks as they would be with respect to
the resulting bank.
Convenience and needs of the community to be served. Applicant is a well
managed, progressive bank with a good record of service to the community,
particularly in providing financial and other support for industrial diversification
and expansion. The principal effect of the merger on convenience and needs
would be to bring to the Myerstown area banking credit ample fo r its require­
ments. The economy of the area is prospering and its outlook is favorable, with
existing industries developing rapidly and others seeking plant locations. As
noted, the credit needs of a number of firms have surpassed Myerstown Bank's
capabilities. Applicant would also offer the area generally more complete bank­
ing and fiduciary services, including electronic data processing facilities.
Conclusion. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the merger would
not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner be in restraint of trade, and would benefit the banking convenience and
needs in the Myerstown area.

There are three banks competing in Delaware County: Delaware Bank, Ostran­
der Bank, and The First National Bank of Delaware (also in the town of Dela­
ware). Thus, the merger would reduce the total number of commercial banks in
the county from three to two.
It would also increase concentration in banking resources in Delaware
County. Delaware Bank already holds about 38 percent of the total IPC demand
deposits in the county, and the proposed merger with Ostrander Bank would
add another 5.5 percent to its market share. After the merger, it and The First
National Bank of Delaware would have all the county’s IPC deposits.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, J u ly 2 7 , 1 9 6 7
The Delaware County Bank, Delaware, Ohio (applicant), an insured State non­
member bank with total deposits of $13.1 million, has applied, pursuant to Sec­
tion 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, for the
Corporation's prior approval to merge The Ostrander Banking Company, Ostran­
der, Ohio (Ostrander Company), an insured State nonmember bank which has
total deposits of $1.6 million. The banks would merge under the charter and
title of applicant and as an incident of the merger the sole office of Ostrander
Company would become a branch of applicant, increasing the number of its o f­
fices to four.
Competition. Ostrander Company is 8 miles from applicant’s nearest office,
at Delaware to the east, and the same distance from banking offices in Marys­
ville, Ohio, to the west. Ostrander Company's service area extends in a radius
about 4 miles from Ostrander and adjoins those of the Delaware and Marysville
bank. Competition between the participating banks is not substantial, nor apt to
become so.
Applicant's two Delaware, Ohio offices are in direct competition with three of­
fices of The First National Bank of Delaware, a $25 million affiliate of BancOhio
Corporation, a registered bank holding company with 23 banks in Ohio having
total resources of about $900 million. First National's Sunbury, Ohio office is
only 2 miles distant from applicant’s Galena branch. Another BancOhio affiliate
is located in Marysville, Ohio. Some additional, but less significant, competition
stems from the northern portion of Franklin County where offices of large banks
headquartered in Columbus, Ohio are located.
The resulting bank will compete with banks in Delaware County as well as
those with nearby offices in the counties adjoining Delaware to the east, west
and south. The relevant service area is considered by the Corporation to include
19 banking offices, nine in Delaware County, six in Franklin County and two
each in Union and Licking Counties; the resulting bank would be the sixth larg­
est of the 11 banks operating such offices. Applicant’s share of the area depos­
its would increase from about 15 to 17 percent, and the resulting bank would
rank third in area deposit volume.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. The banking factors are
favorable with respect to each of the merging banks. These factors with respect
to the resulting bank would likewise appear to be favorable, subject to strength­
ening the bank's capital as set forth in the final paragraph of the accompanying
order.
Convenience and Needs of the Community. The resulting bank will have a
lending lim it of $85,000 as opposed to $60,000 for the applicant, and this
higher lim it would benefit the Delaware community. It would also to some extent
benefit the Ostrander community in meeting an indicated need for increased
credit capacity to serve the larger farm operations and sizable residential m ort­
gage customers. This need could be accentuated if the population growth from
Franklin County (Columbus), now under way in southern Delaware County, be­
comes more significant in the Ostrander area.

The Willimantic Trust Co. proposes to merge with the County Bank and Trust
Co., of Danielson. The two banks are located in towns 22 miles apart in Wind­
ham County in northeastern Connecticut.
The 1960 population of Windham County was 56,223, and that of the towns
of Willimantic and Danielson 13,881 and 4,642, respectively. The Connecticut
Development Commission projects a doubling of population by the year 2000.
Windham County has five banks with nine banking offices. In both Willimantic
and Danielson the only banking alternative to the applicants are two branches
of Connecticut Bank and Trust Co., the State's second largest bank. There are
no other banks in the 22 miles between the two communities, which are con­
nected by U.S. Route 6.
These two banks are 22 miles apart in different communities in Windham
County. However, because there are no other banks in the intervening area (ex­
cept for the two branches of Connecticut Bank and Trust), the proposed merger
may eliminate some direct competition between Willimantic Trust and County.
Willimantic Trust now holds 20.5 percent of total deposits within Windham
County and its acquisition of County would increase its market share by 4.0 per­
cent. (It is not possible to calculate the market shares in terms of IPC demand
deposits because W illimantic Trust failed to include separate branch allocation
of such deposits.)

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, A u g u st 4 , 1 9 6 7
Willimantic Trust Company, Willimantic, Connecticut (applicant), an insured
State nonmember bank with total deposits of about $19,710,000, has applied,
pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, for the Corporation's prior approval to merge with County Bank and Trust
Company of Danielson, Danielson (Town of Killingly), Connecticut (County
Bank), an insured State nonmember bank which has total deposits of about
$2,978,000. The banks would merge under the charter and with the title of the
applicant, and as an incident of the merger, the sole office of County Bank
would become a branch of the applicant, increasing the number of its offices to
three.
Competition. Applicant is headquartered in Willimantic (population about
14,400) and operates one branch in Storrs, 9 miles north of the main office.
County Bank's office is located in Danielson (population 4,642), 20 miles north­
east of Willimantic. The primary service areas of the merging banks are sep­
arate but contiguous. The 20 miles intervening their offices are sparsely
populated and neither bank derives an appreciable amount of business from the
other's service area. No significant competition exists between them, nor is
there any reasonable potential for such competition indicated by the record.
Both banks compete directly in their main office communities with branches
of the State's largest commercial bank. Additional competition is furnished by a
mutual savings bank in each of the communities of Willimantic and Danielson.
The State's largest bank holds 61.5 percent of the IPC demand deposits held
by the seven bank offices in the resulting service area. Following the merger,
applicant would hold 37.4 percent of such deposits. With respect to IPC tim e




67

BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

deposits, the resulting bank would be the smallest and hold 20.2 percent of
the aggregate. Applicant would operate three of the seven banking offices.
The effect of the proposed merger on competition would not be adverse.
Financial and managerial resources and prospects. These factors are favora­
ble with respect to the resulting bank, as they have been with respect to appli­
cant. County Bank, which was opened in 1962, experienced some initial losses
but in general its financial condition and management have been regarded as
satisfactory.
Convenience and needs of the community to be served. The principal effect
of the merger on banking needs and convenience would be in Danielson.
Applicant would provide a significantly larger lending limit, and in general
more complete and convenient banking services, including trust services which
are not presently available at County Bank. The larger loan lim it would benefit
the improving economy in the Town of Killingly.
Conclusion. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the merger would
not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner be in restraint of trade, and would benefit the banking convenience and
needs in the Danielson area.

$218.6 million and operates six offices, four of which are in or close to the city
of Wilmington. The Brandywine-Mechanics Savings and Loan Association has as­
sets of $3.2 million and operates one office in the City of Wilmington, a little
over one mile from Wilmington Savings Fund Society's head office and some­
what less than a mile from one of the latter's branches.
It appears from the application that there is considerable existing competi­
tion between these institutions, particularly with respect to mortgage loans. It
also appears that Wilmington Savings Fund Society would like to have an office
in the Brandywine-Mechanics service area and might open a de novo branch
therein absent this transaction.
On the other hand, the directors of Brandywine-Mechanics have allegedly de­
cided that their institution will “ merge, consolidate or in some other way cease
to exist in its present fo rm ." From the competitive standpoint, it might be
preferable for Brandywine-Mechanics to be purchased by or merge with the
smaller of the State's mutual savings banks or with one of the smaller savings
and loan associations.

Wilmington Savings Fund Society, Wilmington, Delaware, (Society) with total
deposits of about $193 million, has applied, pursuant to Section 18(c) and
other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, for the Corporation's
prior approval to acquire the assets and assume the liabilities of BrandywineMechanics Savings and Loan Association, Wilmington, Delaware (S & L), which
has total share accounts of about $2.7 million. As of the effective date of the
sale, the share accounts of seller, including serial, full paid, and instalment full

paid, will be converted to deposit accounts of the buyer without loss of interest
a n d /o r earnings. The resulting bank would be under the charter and title of Wil­
mington Savings Fund Society. As an incident to the transaction, the sole office
of S & L would become a branch of Society, increasing the number of its offices
to seven.
Competition. The main office and one branch of Society are located within
the city limits of Wilmington; two of its branches are located in the city's sub­
urbs and the remaining two are in Dover and Newark, outside the Wilmington
trade area. S & L's sole office is located in an industrial-residential section in
the northwestern part of Wilmington, an area which has experienced steady
population decline. Society's branch at 3rd and Union Streets in Wilmington is
slightly less than one mile distant from S & L and its main office is a little over
a mile away.
The records of S & L indicate that the bulk of its accounts originate within
one-half mile of its office. There are no other financial institutions within this
area, however, one commercial bank operates a branch 0.7 of a mile distant
and has received approval to establish another two blocks distant from S & L.
Within a radius of i y 2 miles of S & L there are seven other savings and loan
associations, the main office and the 3rd and Union Streets branch of Society
and four operating commercial bank offices. About 4.5 percent of Society's de­
posit accounts bear addresses located in S & L's service area, however, these
accounts are principally carried at the main office of Society and would appear
to evidence the convenience of that location to the depositors' place of busi­
ness rather than a degree of competition between Society and S & L.
S & L is the fourth smallest of the 10 savings and loan associations in the
City of Wilmington and after several years of negligible growth, is experiencing
a decline. Its directors have indicated that the organization will definitely merge,
consolidate, or in some other way cease to exist in its present form. Society, on
the other hand, is a well established institution with a record of consistent
growth and sound operation. It would increase in size only nominally as the re­
sult of this proposal.
Competition between the participating institutions is not significant, nor apt
to become so if they did not merge. The Board of Directors is of the opinion
that the proposed transaction would not substantially lessen competition, tend
to create a monopoly, or in any other manner be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Future Prospects. While Society’s re­
cord under these factors is favorable, S & L is experiencing a decline in its
share accounts, its surplus (capital) protection is below generally accepted
standards and the prospects for increasing it are poor. Its management, while
capable of operating on the present scale, has made no provision for succes­
sion and is determined to withdraw from the field of competition.
The resulting bank would be satisfactory under all these factors.
Convenience and Needs of the Community. The subject transaction would
have little effect on the services offered to the community. S & L’s office would
continue in operation but as a branch of a larger and much stronger savings in­
stitution and there would be no reduction in the services offered the community
by such institutions.

Peoples Trust City Bank (“ Peoples") is the second largest bank in Berks
County, Pennsylvania. Its head office and two branches are located in Reading,
which is the commercial and industrial center of Berks County; it also has four
branches in the Reading suburbs, and four other branches located elsewhere in
the county. The Farmers National Bank & Trust Company of Boyertown ( “ Farm­
ers"), Boyertown, Pennsylvania, is one of two banks serving a small community,
and its surrounding rural area, located about 15 miles east of Reading, in Berks
County. The distance between Farmers and the closest branch of Peoples is ap­
proximately 10 miles.
The proposed merger would eliminate a certain amount of direct competition,
particularly in the market for industrial and commercial loans, where Farmers
has been active.
Also, the proposed merger would significantly increase Peoples’ share of the
already concentrated Berks County market, where Peoples and the largest bank
together have more than 75 percent of total deposits. Peoples has total IPC de­
mand deposits of $39.2 million and Farmers has $4.2 million in such deposits.
These represent 24.4 percent and 2.6 percent, respectively, of the $160.1 m il­
lion in total IPC demand deposits for the county as a whole, as reported in the
most recent published study.
Although the distance between the two banks and the proximity of Boyertown
to Montgomery County (in which the major Philadelphia banks have branches)
indicate that the foregoing market shares may overstate somewhat the competi­
tive significance of the proposed Peoples-Farmers merger, we think it plain that
the proposed merger would increase in concentration an already highly concen­
trated banking market. The application reveals no compelling countervailing
considerations; Farmers is plainly a well managed and profitable bank, which
has been able to serve the needs of its customers directly or through participa­
tion loans.

Peoples Trust City Bank, Reading, Pennsylvania (applicant), an insured State
nonmember bank with total deposits of about $124 million, has applied, pur­
suant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, for the Corporation’s prior approval to merge with The Farmers National
Bank and Trust Company of Boyertown, Boyertown, Pennsylvania (Farmers),
which has total deposits of about $15 million. The banks would merge under
the charter and title of applicant, and as an incident thereof, the two offices of
Farmers would become branches of applicant, increasing the number of its
offices to 13.
Competition. Seven of applicant's 11 offices, including the main office, are lo­
cated in Reading, Pennsylvania, population 98,000, or its immediate vicinity.
The remaining offices are located to the west, northwest and southeast of Read­
ing. All of applicant's offices are within Berks County. Farmers’ main office is
situated at Boyertown, population 4,000, 14 miles east of Reading and just in­
side the eastern boundary of Berks County. Farmers' branch is located about
1.5 miles east of Boyertown just inside Montgomery County. The nearest offices
of the merging banks are the main office of Farmers and the Birdsboro branch
of applicant. They are 12 miles apart, not directly connected by highway, and
intervened by offices of other banks. Existing competition between the merging
banks, if any, is nominal and there appears to be no reasonable potential for
significant competition between them.
Applicant competes directly with 13 offices of a Reading-based bank morethan twice applicant's size. This bank would hold 39.2 percent, or the greatest
proportion of the deposit volume held by the banks operating within the result­
ing service area, and the resulting bank would hold 21.2 percent. Farmers’
principal competitor is a Boyertown-based bank whose deposit volume is double
that of Farmers. Farmers also receives competition from three sizable Philadel­



70

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

phia area banks which operate nine offices in the Pottstown area, 6 miles
south of Boyertown. Applicant's 2.4 percent gain in deposits would not signifi­
cantly alter the competitive picture in the resulting service area. Wnile banking
in that area is somewhat concentrated, 12 other banks operate 40 offices in the
area. Several of these banks are large and formidable competitors. There is also
substantial competition from nonbank institutions as well as some competition
from out-of-area banks. The resulting bank would be the fifth largest serving the
overall trade area and its presence in Boyertown should stimulate competition.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner be in restraint of trade.
Financial and managerial resources and prospects. These factors are favora­
ble with respect to applicant, as they will be with respect to the resulting bank.
While the financial and managerial resources of the merging bank, Farmers, are
satisfactory, its future prospects are clouded to some extent by its inability to
meet the larger credit requirements of a growing comm unity with consequent
adverse effect on its demand deposit volume.
Convenience and needs of the community. The merger would have little im ­
pact on the convenience and needs of the area now served by applicant, but
should significantly benefit the area served by Farmers by providing much
greater credit to meet the needs of the area's larger business and industrial
concerns. In addition, the applicant with its computer services and generally
more complete banking and fiduciary services, would enhance the banking facil­
ities in Boyertown.
For these reasons and on the basis of the above information and other
information available to the Corporation, the Board of Directors has concluded
that approval of the bank's application is warranted.

The proposed merger would combine two of the six commercial banks operat­
ing in Ohio County in West Central Kentucky. The proposed merger would elim i­
nate some direct competition between the applicant banks and would reduce
the number of commercial banking alternatives from six to five. The bank which
would be eliminated by this merger is presently the county's smallest commer­
cial bank. The acquiring bank holds 22 percent of the county’s IPC demand
deposits and the acquired bank 6 percent.

The Hartford Bank, Hartford, Kentucky (applicant), an insured State non­
member bank with total deposits of $4,539,000, has applied, pursuant to Sec­
tion 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, for the
Corporation's prior approval to merge with The Farmers Bank, Centertown,
Kentucky (Farmers), an insured State nonmember bank which has total deposits
of $1,012,500. The banks would merge under the charter and with the title of
the applicant, and as an incident to the merger, the sole office of Farmers would
become a branch of the applicant, increasing the number of its offices to two.
Competition. Applicant is located in Hartford (population 1,618), the seat of



71

BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

Ohio County. Farmers’ office is located 6 miles southwest in Centertown (popu­
lation 327). Applicant’s influence extends throughout the county and
encompasses the service area of Farmers which consists of a small area around
Centertown in the southwestern corner of the county. However, there is no sig­
nificant competition between the merging banks. They have been commonly
owned and managed for about 15 years and the possibility of competition de­
veloping between them in the future is limited not only by this but by the size
and nature of the Centertown area. This area has been declining in population
and appears too small in deposit potential to continue to support a viable unit
bank.
Applicant’s principal competitor is a bank in Beaver Dam which is the largest
bank in the county and located 4 miles southeast. Applicant would remain sec­
ond in size in the county and would have $5.2 million IPC deposits following
consummation of the proposal. The Beaver Dam bank has IPC deposits of $6.3
million. The addition of $1 million to applicant's present IPC deposit size would
cause little change in competition throughout the county since the merging
banks have operated under the same ownership and management for many
years.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. These factors are favora­
ble with respect to the resulting bank as they have been with respect to the ap­
plicant. The financial and managerial resources with respect to Farmers are
satisfactory, however, its future prospects as a unit bank are unsatisfactory
because of its inadequate lending lim it of $12,000, deposit growth potential and
the burden on its earnings which has been imposed by the recent increase in
time deposit interest rates.
Convenience and Needs of the Community to be Served. There would be
some benefit to the convenience and needs of the comm unity now served by
the applicant in that increased lending capacity would be available. The Center­
town area would benefit by the availability of additional and improved deposit
and loan services directly in the community.
For these reasons and on the basis of the above information and other infor­
mation available to the Corporation, the Board of Directors has concluded that
approval of the bank's application is warranted.

This transaction will result in the purchase by Banco Popular of Chemical's
lease on banking facilities located at 90 Delancey Street in Manhattan, together
with the bulk of that branch office's assets and deposit liabilities. Banco will
transfer its banking operation now conducted at 111 Essex Street (one block
away) to the Delancey Street location. At the same time, Chemical’s banking
operation in this now predominantly Spanish-speaking area will be closed.
Because of the relative nearness of the two banks to each other, it is probable




72

that direct competition exists between them, and this competition would be
foreclosed by consummation of the instant transaction. However, we do not be­
lieve that the transaction would adversely affect over-all area competition, nor
do we think that its consummation would result in a significant increase in area
concentration.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, O cto b er 13, 1 9 6 7
Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, San Juan (Hato Rey), Puerto Rico (applicant),
an insured nonmember bank with total deposits of about $345 million, has ap­
plied, pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, for the Corporation’s prior approval to purchase a portion of the
assets and assume the liability to pay a portion of the deposits made in the 90
Delancey Street branch of Chemical Bank New York Trust Company, New York
(Manhattan), New York (Chemical), which has total deposits of about $6.3 bil­
lion including $6.5 million in deposits at the branch. As an incident of the pro­
posed transaction, the present office of applicant at 111 Essex Street would be
closed. Its operations would be relocated to the 90 Delancey Street branch of
Chemical and there would be no change in the existing number of applicant's
offices.
Competition. Applicant’s Essex Street branch and Chemical’s Delancey Street
office are 150 feet apart in the Lower East Side section of the Borough of Man­
hattan in New York City. The population of the service area was 50,473 in
1960. Applicant operates two other branches in Manhattan, one in the Bronx,
42 permanent branches in Puerto Rico and 6 mobile units serving 11 locations
on the Island, for a total of 58 outlets, including the main office. Chemical oper­
ated a total of 139 offices on June 30, 1967. Its main office and 76 of its
branches are located in Manhattan.
There are seven banking offices of six other commercial banks and two
branches of a mutual savings bank located in the area served by the participat­
ing banks’ branches involved in the proposal. The neighborhood is predomi­
nantly Puerto Rican and applicant’s branch is eminently suited to compete for
the business of this segment of the population. Chemical’s Delancey Street
branch deposits have leveled off since 1962 and it apparantly is not competing
effectively in this service area. Competition between the participating banks'
branches involved in the proposal would not appear to be substantial. More­
over, relative to the total competition generated among the bank offices in the
service area, the elimination of Chemical’s branch as a competitor would not
substantially reduce overall competition.
Applicant’s Essex Street branch would assume about $5.1 million in IPC de­
posits held by Chemical’s Delancey Street branch and the resulting office would
hold 11.8 percent of the aggregate IPC deposits held by the eight commercial
banking offices remaining in the service area. Two large New York banks, with
total deposits of $4 billion and $6 billion, each hold 29.1 percent of the IPC de­
posits through their three branches in the area. Applicant's branch would hold
the fourth largest proportion of IPC deposits and the applicant would be the
fifth largest commercial bank represented there. The remaining four largest
commercial banks having branches in the area hold total deposits ranging be­
tween $1.0 billion and $11.0 billion.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed transaction would
not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. These factors are favora­
ble with respect to the applicant as they will be with respect to the resulting
bank. The future prospects of Chemical’s Delancey Street branch are clouded to
some extent by its apparent lack of deposit growth.
Convenience and Needs of the Community to be Served. Discontinuance of
bank operations at applicant’s Essex Street branch has been necessitated by
condemnation proceedings of its property by the City of New York. Its reloca­
tion to a site only 150 feet distant should not cause significant inconvenience




73

BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

to its customers. The proposed branch and its Spanish-speaking staff will occupy
a more prominent location from which to serve the predominantly Puerto Rican
neighborhood. The number of bank offices in the area will be reduced by
one, however, seven branches of six other commercial banks and two offices of
a mutual savings bank will be located within the service area and within 2,000
feet of the proposed branch office.
For these reasons and on the basis of the above information and other infor­
mation available to the Corporation, the Board of Directors has concluded that
approval of the bank’s application is warranted.

Peoples Bank of South Carolina ("Florence Bank") proposes to merge with
Peoples Bank of Lynchburg ( “ Lynchburg Bank").
Florence Bank’s operations are centered in the City of Florence (population
24,722), which is the county seat of Florence County (population 84,438). The
county is located in the northeastern portion of the State of South Carolina and
is primarily an agricultural area, although industry is becoming increasingly im­
portant. The county has 10 banks with 22 banking offices; and Florence Bank
has about 8.4 percent of the IPC demand deposits of such banks. Within the
City of Florence itself, there are four banks with 11 offices: Florence Bank is the
smallest of these in terms of total deposits— competing with four branches of
The South Carolina National Bank of Charleston (total deposits, $378.3 m illion),
two branches of The Citizens and Southern National Ban!' of South Carolina (to­
tal deposits, $203.5 million), and the head office and two branches of Guaranty
Bank and Trust Company (total deposits, $22.1 m illion).
Lynchburg Bank is located in Lynchburg (population 544), which is located
in adjacent Lee County (population 21,832), about 20 miles southwest of Flor­
ence. Lynchburg Bank is the only bank in Lynchburg and the surrounding
agricultural areas. Lee County, an area of declining population, has three bank­
ing offices operated by three banks; and Lynchburg Bank accounts for about 15
percent of the IPC demand deposits of these three banks.
The offices of the two merging institutions are about 20 miles apart in differ­
ent counties. Since there is only one bank lying between the communities of
Florence and Lynchburg, it may well be that the four Florence banks compete
to some extent with Lynchburg Bank for business from the intervening area;
nevertheless, the amount of direct competition between the merging banks
would not appear to be substantial.
While South Carolina law permits statewide branch banking, there is no evi­
dence that either of the merging banks (which appear to be the smallest
institutions in their respective areas) is one of the most probable entrants into
the market of the other by de novo branching.
Therefore, in view of the size of the merging banks and the distance between
them, we believe that any adverse effect on competition would be slight.

The Peoples Bank of South Carolina, Inc., Florence, South Carolina (appli­
cant), an insured State nonmember bank, with total deposits of about $6.3 m il­
lion, has applied, pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Act, for the Corporation's prior approval to merge with The
Peoples Bank, Lynchburg, South Carolina (Lynchburg Bank), which has total de­
posits of about $900,000. The banks would merge under the charter and title of
applicant and as an incident thereof the sole office of Lynchburg Bank would
become a branch of applicant, increasing the number of its offices to three.
Competition. Applicant's main office and sole branch are located in Florence,
South Carolina, population 24,700. Lynchburg Bank is located 20 miles south­
west of Florence in the farming community of Lynchburg, population 540. The
two banks operate in separate and distinct service areas without apparent over*
lap. There are no other banking offices in Lynchburg but Lynchburg Bank com­
petes against seven other banks with 11 banking offices, including a bank
located almost midway between Lynchburg and Florence. Applicant competes
against one other bank headquartered in Florence which has two in-town
branches, as well as against three larger Charleston and Columbia based banks
which operate a total of six branches in Florence and two in Darlington, 10
miles northwest of Florence, but within the trade area served by applicant
There is little competition existing between the two participating banks which
would be eliminated by their merger. Applicant holds 9.8 percent of the aggre­
gate deposits of its service area as compared with the 1.7 percent share held
by Lynchburg Bank in its service area. Because of Lynchburg’s small size and
history of decline, there appears to be no reasonable potential for significant
competition between the two subject banks.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner be in restraint of trade.
Financial and managerial resources and future prospects. These factors are
all favorable with respect to applicant as they would be with respect to the re­
sulting bank. Lynchburg Bank, on the other hand, is facing a management
succession problem, inasmuch as the two dominant individuals in management
are both over 70 years of age. Its future prospects, furthermore, are clouded by
the rising cost of tim e deposits and the growing need to increase staff salaries
to realistic levels.
Convenience and needs of the community. The proposed merger would bring
a wider range of banking services to the Lynchburg area including an increase
in the legal lending lim it from $16,500 to $170,600. Local customers would get
the benefit of generally higher rates of interest paid on tim e deposits and of ex­
changing checks on a par basis.

Merchants State Bank of Humboldt, Tennessee, proposes to merge with The

County, Tennessee (population 44,699), which has 14 banks with 20 banking
offices.




BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

The head offices of the two banks are 5 miles apart, with no other banks in
the intervening area. Gibson Bank clearly competes with Merchants, as well as
with the other two banks in Humboldt, and the proposed merger would elim i­
nate this competition with Merchants.
Gibson was created by Merchants in 1903, and for many years Merchants
has owned about 40 percent of Gibson's stock. This affiliation may in fact re­
duce the degree of actual competition between them.
Concentration in commercial banking would be increased slightly by the pro­
posal. Within Gibson County, Merchants now has 17 percent of total county IPC
demand deposits; its merger with Gibson Bank would add another 2 percent to
its market share.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, O cto b er 18, 1 9 6 7
Merchants State Bank, Humboldt, Tennessee (State Bank), an insured State
nonmember bank with total deposits of about $11 million, has applied, pur­
suant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act, for the Corporation's prior approval to merge with The Bank of Gibson, Gib­
son, Tennessee (Merging Bank), also an insured State nonmember bank which
has total deposits of about $900,000. The banks would merge under the charter
and title of State Bank and as an incident thereof, the sole office of Merging
Bank would become a branch of State Bank, increasing the number of its o f­
fices to four.
Competition. Humboldt, Tennessee, the location of the main office and one
branch of State Bank (its only other branch is at Rutherford, well outside the
service area relevant to this proposal) is in the extreme southern part of Gibson
County and has a population in excess of 10,000. The Town of Gibson, the lo­
cation of Merging Bank, is situated some 5 miles northeast of Humboldt, and is
a small farming community with a population of about 300. The service areas
of the participating banks overlap; however, competition between them is m ini­
mal. State Bank was instrumental in the founding of Merging Bank in 1903, and
has since held in excess of 40 percent of that bank's outstanding stock. Merg­
ing Bank has been more of a satellite of State Bank than a competitor.
The present concentration of deposits and loans in the service area and in
Gibson County would be relatively undisturbed by this merger. State Bank pre­
sently has 18.9 percent of the IPC deposits and 23.7 percent of the loans in the
service area. The resulting bank would have 20.8 percent and 24.3 percent of
the IPC deposits and of the loans, respectively. There would continue to be vig­
orous competition from nine other banking offices in the primary service area,
three of which combined hold 49.0 percent of the IPC deposits and 44.2 per­
cent of the loans. There is also considerable competition from nonbank institu­
tions in the area.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly, or in any other
manner be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. These factors are favora­
ble with respect to State Bank, as they will be with respect to the resulting
bank. When considering Merging Bank, the financial and managerial resources
are satisfactory and its future prospects, although satisfactory also, are some­
what less favorable than State Bank, inasmuch as its size tends to circumscribe
the services it is able to render.
Convenience and Needs of the Community. The merger would have little im ­
pact on the convenience and needs of the area now served by State Bank, but
should benefit the community of Gibson through the resulting bank's ability to
handle larger lines of credit and through the introduction of par banking and
trust services on a local basis.
Based on the foregoing and other information available to the Corporation,
the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the bank's application is
warranted.

dent of the proposed transaction, the present sole office of the Banco de San
German would become a branch of the resulting bank.
Substantial shortages have been discovered in the accounts of the Banco de
San German, far exceeding capital and reserves and destroying liquidity. The
Board of Directors has found that it must act immediately in approving the ap­
plication to prevent the probable failure of the Banco de San German.

The proposed transaction would combine the sixth largest commercial bank
in the Philadelphia area, Continental, with one of the smallest commercial
banks in that area, Sonsitaly.
In the entire Philadelphia Standard Metropolitan Area, a market probably too
broad for analysis in this particular case, the proposed merger would increase
Continental’s share of total deposits from 4.7 to 5.3 percent, and its effect on
concentration in this area would not be substantial.
On the other hand, since the Tasker Street branch of Continental is directly
adjacent to Sonsitaly’s sole office and is certainly the closest competitor, the
proposed merger would eliminate considerable direct competition between these
two banks for mortgage loans and certain deposit customers.

and assume the liabilities of Sonsitaly Bank and Trust Company, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania (Sonsitaly), also an insured State nonmember bank, which has to ­
tal deposits of about $5 million. The banks would effect this transaction under
the charter and title of Continental and as an incident thereof the sole office of
Sonsitaly would become a branch of Continental, increasing the number of its
offices to 40. It also has one approved but unopened branch.
Competition. Continental’s service area is located in the southeastern corner
of Pennsylvania and consists of all of Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties
and portions of four other counties contiguous to Montgomery County. The
population of the service area is estimated to be in excess of 2.3 million.
Sonsitaly’s service area, a section of South Philadelphia, contains 11 offices of
six other commercial banks, including a Continental branch,
2 blocks from
Sonsitaly. The resulting bank's share of the aggregate commercial bank depos­
its of this area would be fourth largest. Continental's nearest other office to
Sonsitaly is i y 2 miles to the northeast and separated by a competing bank of­
fice. Competition between Continental's local branch and Sonsitaly is minimized
by the limited range of services that Sonsitaly offers. Its three basic services
are checking accounts, savings accounts, and residential mortgage loans and
even these limited services are offered principally to the ethnic group related to
the ownership interest. The bank’s growth has been virtually static and its fu ­
ture appears less than bright. Conversely, Continental is a large institution with
broader experience and capacity in all banking functions. The aggressive man­
agement and policies of Continental would promote competition in all fields of
operation. The present concentration of banking in the Philadalphia area would
be largely unaffected by this transaction. In addition, mutual savings banks and
nonbank institutions offer considerable competition.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed transaction would
not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. Although Continental's re­
cord under these factors is favorable, Sonsitaly has experienced only nominal
growth, has suffered a decline in the past three years in its adjusted capital
and has demonstrated weak earnings. It lacks the management and facilities to
compete as a full-service bank.
The resulting bank would be satisfactory under all these factors.
Convenience and Needs of the Community. The transaction would have v ir­
tually no effect on the services offered in the trade area of Continental. It
would, however, result in a significant expansion of the services offered to Sonsitaly's customers at its present location. A small limited-service bank would be
replaced by a branch of a large full-service bank.
Based on the foregoing and on other information available to the Corpora­
tion, the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the bank's applica­
tion is warranted.

Northwest Pennsylvania Bank & Trust Company ("N orthw est” ), a 14-office
bank in northwestern Pennsylvania, proposes to acquire Grove City National



78

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

Bank ("Grove City Bank") in Grove City, Pennsylvania. The latter bank operates
its main office and a branch in Grove City, Mercer County, Pennsylvania.
Grove City (population, 8,368) has three banking offices: the two offices of
Grove City Bank and a branch of First Seneca Bank & Trust Company. There
are no other banks in the immediate area.
Mercer County as a whole (population, 127,591) has eight banks with 29
banking offices. This total includes two Northwest branches in the town of Mer­
cer, and a third in the town of Fredonia.
The proposed merger would eliminate at least some direct competition be­
tween Northwest and Grove City Bank. Of the six banking offices closest to
Grove City, three are branches of Northwest— two located 10 miles to the
northwest at Mercer (in Mercer County) and one located 13 miles to the east at
Clintonville (in Venango County). Mercer and Grove City are connected by a
main highway and there are no towns or banks in between. The three other
banks are located 4, 7, and 10 miles away, respectively. It would thus appear
that Northwest’s offices are close enough to compete with Grove City Bank and
First Seneca Bank and Trust Co. for business in Grove City.
There has been a substantial bank merger trend in the four counties— Ve­
nango, Clarion, Crawford and Mercer— where Northwest’s 14 offices are located.
The leading bank in this four-county area is Northwest (deposits of $92.5 m il­
lion), with First Seneca Bank & Trust Company (deposits of approximately $90
m illion) a close second. Both Northwest and First Seneca have engaged in ex­
tensive merger activity in recent years. Since 1953, Northwest has acquired
eight banks, and First Seneca has acquired nine. Other banks have also partici­
pated in the area's merger trend— which has resulted in the elimination of
more than 21 independent banks in the four-county area, and has contributed
to the concentration of about 40 percent of the area's deposits in the hands of
the area's two largest banks.
Within the four-county area in which Northwest operates, Northwest has 20.1
percent of $425.4 million in IPC deposits (demand and tim e), and Grove City
Bank has 2.8 percent. In Mercer County alone, Northwest’s three branches ac­
count for 9.8 percent of the county's $159.7 million in IPC deposits, and Grove
City Bank has 7.8 percent.
Thus the proposed merger involves significant increase in concentration—
particularly in Mercer County— in the context of a long-term trend toward in­
creased concentration in banking resources resulting from mergers.
For the reasons stated above, we find the proposed merger between
Northwest and Grove City Bank to be significantly anti-competitive.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, N o vem ber 7, 1 9 6 7
Northwest Pennsylvania Bank & Trust Co., Oil City, Pennsylvania (applicant),
an insured State nonmember bank with total deposits of $92,537,000, has ap­
plied, pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit In­
surance Act, for the Corporation’s prior approval to merge with The Grove City
National Bank, Grove City, Pennsylvania (Grove City Bank), which has total de­
posits of $12,517,000. The banks would merge under the charter and with the
title of the applicant, and as an incident to the merger, the two offices of Grove
City Bank would become branches of the applicant, increasing the number of
its offices to 16.
Competition. Applicant is headquartered in Oil City (population 17,700),
which is situated in the central section of Venango County. It operates 14 offi­
ces throughout Venango, Clarion, Mercer, and Crawford Counties. Grove City
Bank's two offices are in the community of Grove City (population 8,400),
which is situated in the southeastern corner of Mercer County. The merging
banks' main offices are about 35 miles apart. Applicant's offices closest to
Grove City are its branches in Mercer and Clintonville, 10 and 13 miles distant.
Primary competition to Grove City Bank is furnished by First Seneca Bank and
Trust Company which has IPC deposits of $87 million and two branches in




79

BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

Grove City. First Seneca Bank is headquartered in Oil City and is applicant's
principal competitor. Four miles from Grove City, in Harrisville, is a branch of
the $2.3 billion IPC deposit bank, Mellon National Bank and Trust Company,
Pittsburgh. The merging bank’s closest offices derive only a small portion of
their business from each other's service areas.
Applicant is the fourth largest bank in absolute size in the resulting service
area and the proposal would not significantly increase its share of the aggre­
gate IPC deposits. Applicant presently holds the largest proportion, 19.4 per­
cent, which exceeds by a narrow margin the 19.2 percent held by its principal
competitor, First Seneca Bank and Trust Company. The resulting bank would
have 22.2 percent. The largest bank in absolute size represented in the area is
Mellon National Bank. The increase in applicant's size would not materially af­
fect the existing competitive relationships in the communities it presently
serves. The entry of applicant into Grove City would tend to stimulate competi­
tion in that community where the applicant's principal com petitor is presently
represented.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. These factors are favora­
ble with respect to the resulting bank as they have been with respect to the
merging banks. The proposal would resolve a problem of management succes­
sion at the Grove City Bank and provide managerial resources of adequate
depth and quality.
Convenience and Needs of the Community to be Served. Consummation of
the merger will introduce an aggressive management with expanded and more
competitive banking services which should benefit the Grove City community. In­
dustry in the area is expanding and recent loan demands have been higher than
Grove City Bank could independently accommodate. The applicant will provide
more comprehensive and complete trust services than Grove City Bank now of­
fers. The residents of the area will continue to have a good choice of banking
facilities with two banking alternatives in Grove City and four others at four lo­
cations within 10 miles.
Based on the foregoing and other information available to the Corporation,
the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the bank's application is
warranted.

The Branch Banking and Trust Co. ( “ BB&T") proposed to merge with the
Bank of Davie (“ Davie” ). BB&T, the sixth largest bank in North Carolina, oper­
ates 40 banking offices primarily in Eastern North Carolina. Davie has two of­
fices in Mocksville, which is in Davie County in the Piedmont region of the
State.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

At present, the expanding banking market of Davie County is served by only
two banks— Davie and a branch of Central Carolina Bank and Trust Co., a Durham-based bank with total deposits of $80.8 million. Davie is the dominant in­
stitution in the market, accounting for over 85 percent of both total deposits
and IPC demand deposits in the county.
Since the nearest office of BB&T is approximately 120 miles from the nearest
office of Davie, at the opposite end of the State, it is unlikely that there is d i­
rect substantial competition between the merging banks which would be
foreclosed by the proposed merger.
The proposed merger would eliminate BB&T as a source of potential competi­
tion in Davie County, since North Carolina law permits statewide branch bank­
ing (N.C. Gen. Stat. §53-62). Since BB&T is the sixth largest bank in the State it
would appear to be one of the most likely entrants into Davie County, an area
of expanding economic growth.
The proposed merger is part of a continuing trend of acquisitions and merg­
ers by North Carolina's largest commercial banks. This merger trend has
already had an adverse effect on potential competition in the State by inhibiting
the establishment of de novo branches by the largest banks, and thereby re­
tarding the development of a more competitive banking structure in North Caro­
lina.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, N o vem ber 2, 1 9 6 7
Branch Banking & Trust Company, Wilson, North Carolina (applicant), an in­
sured State nonmember bank, with total deposits of about $134.5 million, has
applied, pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act, for the Corporation's prior approval to merge Bank of Davie,
Mocksville, North Carolina which has total deposits of about $8,9 million. The
banks would merge under the charter and title of applicant and as an incident
thereof the two offices of the Bank of Davie would become branches of appli­
cant, increasing the number of its offices to 42.
Competition. Applicant’s main office is located in Wilson, North Carolina, 160
miles east of Mocksville and its closest office to Mocksville is at Cary, 102
miles to the east. Applicant is the State’s sixth largest bank, operating 40 of­
fices in 18 separate service areas throughout eastern North Carolina in competi­
tion with the State’s four largest banks and numerous smaller institutions. Bank
of Davie is the only bank in Mocksville, population 2,400. It competes with the
only other bank in Davie County which has a branch in Cooleemee, 5 miles dis­
tant, and approval to establish a branch in Mocksville which is now nearing
completion. There is no competition existing between applicant and Bank of
Davie which would be eliminated by their merger. Because of several factors,
including the long distance between Mocksville and applicant's nearest offices,
any potential for competition between the two participating banks through de
novo branching in each other’s area is slight.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Future Prospects. These factors are
favorable for applicant and Bank of Davie as they would be with respect to the
resulting bank.
Convenience and Needs of the Community. The effect of the proposed
merger on the community would be to introduce the wider services of appli­
cant into the Mocksville and Davie County area, including trust and other
specialized banking and greatly expand legal lending limitations and capacity.
Based on the foregoing and other information available to the Corporation,
the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the bank's application is
warranted.

The proposed merger involves two small banks that opened fo r business in
1965, located in King County, Washington (which also contains the City of Seat­
tle).
There appears to be little present direct competition between the merging
banks, located approximately 9 miles apart in two different suburbs of Seattle.
There are several smaller communities, and a considerable number of banking
alternatives, situated between Bellevue and Renton.
Within the Bellevue-Renton area (in King County), the bank resulting from
the proposed merger would hold 4.5 percent of total IPC deposits individually;
Highlands now holds 1.4 and West 3.1 percent of such deposits. If the merger
were approved, there would continue to be eight banks with 25 offices in this
area. Among them are banks with considerably larger market shares than the
resulting bank, including Seattle-First National Bank, Washington Mutual Sav­
ings Bank, Peoples National Bank, and National Bank of Commerce, with about
38, 20, 13, and 12 percent, respectively, of IPC deposits within the BellevueRenton area.
Within King County as a whole (which we believe overstates the market), the
combined share of IPC demand deposits of the merging banks is only about 0.2
percent.
We conclude that the proposed merger will have little, if any, effect upon
competition within the Bellevue-Renton area, King County or the broader Seattle
Metropolitan Area.

Bank of the West, Bellevue, Washington (applicant), an insured State non­
member bank with total deposits of $6.5 million has applied, pursuant to Sec­
tion 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, fo r the
Corporation's prior approval to merge with Highlands National Bank of Renton,
Renton, Washington (National), which has total deposits of $2,451,000. The
banks would merge under the charter and with the title of the applicant and, as
an incident to the merger, the sole office of National would become a branch of
the applicant, increasing the number of its offices to two.
Competition. Bellevue (population 22,000) is located 10 miles east from
downtown Seattle. Renton (population 23,000) is located 11 miles south from
Bellevue and 12 miles southeast from downtown Seattle. Both banks are new
institutions opened in 1965; they primarily serve separate although contiguous
areas. Several offices of other banks intervene their locations, and competition
between them is minimal.
Several offices of some of the largest banks headquartered in the State are
located in each merging bank's service area. Eight commercial banks presently
operate 22 offices in the combined service area. These offices include 19 oper­
ated by five of the State's eight largest commercial banks. The largest bank has
eight offices in the area which hold almost 47 percent of the aggregated depos­
its. Three other banks hold proportions ranging between 12 percent and 17 per­
cent. The resulting bank’s two offices would hold but 5.7 percent. The resulting
bank would be smallest in absolute size in the combined service area. The next
larger bank has $12.5 million in deposits, and the remaining banks have total

deposits ranging from $117 million to $1.4 billion. The proposed merger would
have no adverse effect on competition in either merging bank's service area.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. These factors have been
favorable with respect to the merging banks and are so projected fo r the result­
ing bank. Future deposit growth prospects for National, as a branch of the ap­
plicant, would be enhanced under the latter's more aggressive management.
Convenience and Needs of the Community to be Served. The increased lend­
ing lim it would be of benefit to customers of both merging banks which are
located in economically expanding areas. The resulting bank will offer, to a
greater extent, complete mortgage loan services demanded by the heavy resi­
dential building activity in both service areas. It is anticipated that National's
inadequate quarters will be replaced by a new and larger building which would
better serve the needs of the community. It is planned to concurrently extend
the daily hours of the proposed branch in Renton for the convenience of the
commuter population.
On the basis of the above information and other information available to the
Corporation, the Board of Directors has concluded that the approval of the
bank’s application is warranted.

There is no doubt that a certain amount of direct competition exists between
Guaranty, First Security and Saguaro, since the distances between Phoenix,
Tempe and Mesa are short and the number of commuters may be significant.
On the other hand, there would appear to be very little direct competition be­
tween Central (in Casa Grande) and the other three banks in Metropolitan Phoe­
nix, 38, 44, and 57 miles away, respectively.
Guaranty is presently the fifth largest bank in Arizona and the fourth largest
in the Phoenix area. The other big Arizona banks (Valley National, Arizona
Bank, First National Bank of Arizona, and Southern Arizona Bank, the latter two
being under common ownership), also operate in the Phoenix area. Banking is
already highly concentrated in the Phoenix metropolitan area, with the four larg­
est banks (including Guaranty) holding 92.7 percent of total commercial bank
deposits.
Guaranty alone holds 4.2 percent of IPC demand deposits within the Phoenix
metropolitan area (which may overstate market area somewhat); its proposed
acquisition of First Security and Saguaro would increase its market share to 5.8
percent. (Expressed in terms of total deposits, the combined market share
would be about the same, or 5.7 percent.)



BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

Guaranty's proposed acquisition of these two relatively new banks in Mesa
and Tempe does not give it individually a high market share, but it would re­
duce the number of banking alternatives in the Phoenix metropolitan area from
11 to nine. Proposed transaction would also eliminate, at the same time, three
of the newer banking entrants in a State with a highly concentrated banking
structure and only 16 banks altogether; all of these banks being acquired now
possess unusual strength and recent growth and an even greater competitive
potential for the future.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, N o vem b er 15, 1 96 7
The Guaranty Bank, Phoenix, Arizona (applicant), an insured State nonmem­
ber bank with total deposits of $57,467,000, has applied, pursuant to Section
18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, for the Corpo­
ration’s prior consent to merge with Central Arizona Bank, Casa Grande, Arizona
(Central), an insured State nonmember bank which has total deposits of
$4,079,000, First Security Bank, Mesa, Arizona (First Security), an insured State
nonmember bank which has total deposits of $17,151,000, and The Saguaro
Bank, Tempe, Arizona (Saguaro), an insured State nonmember bank which has
total deposits of $8,547,000. The banks would merge under the charter of the
applicant and with the title “ United Bank of Arizona" and, as an incident to the
merger, applicant and Saguaro would retire part of their common capital and
the six offices of Central, First Security and Saguaro would become branches of
the applicant, increasing the number of its offices to 12.
Competition. Applicant is headquartered in Phoenix (population 518,000), the
seat of Maricopa County. It has four branches in Phoenix and one branch in
Scottsdale, 12 miles east from the main office. The applicant primarily serves
the Phoenix-Scottsdale area. Central's main office is in Casa Grande, 57 miles
southeast from the applicant’s main office. Central's sole branch is located in
Coolidge, 22 miles northeast from Casa Grande. The Casa Grande-Coolidge area
has a combined population of 13,500 and is more than 30 miles from any of­
fices of the other participating banks. First Security's three offices are located
in Mesa (population 57,000). Mesa is 19 miles southeast of Phoenix. Saguaro’s
sole office is located in Tempe (population 50,000), 6 miles west from Mesa.
Saguaro's office is Ay2 miles from the nearest office of First Security and these
are the closest of any of the participating banks' offices. The Phoenix-Scottsdale
area is separated from the Tempe and Mesa areas by the Salt River bed and
numerous bank offices intervene each of the merging banks' locations. This and
other evidence indicates that there is little direct competition between Central
and any of the other three banks involved in the proposal and that competition
between applicant, First Security and Saguaro is not substantial.
Two or more of the State's four largest banks operate offices in each of the
areas served by the merging banks. In each case, the offices of the large banks
hold the majority of the aggregate deposits held by the bank offices in the res­
pective service areas. In the combined service area 11 banks operate 127
offices. The State's four largest banks operate 109 of these offices and in the
aggregate hold almost 90 percent of the deposits. These banks range in abso­
lute deposit size from $180 million to $1.0 billion. There is little potential for
any significant competition between these large banks and the merging banks.
But, in consequence of this merger the resulting bank would have 12 offices
and $87.2 million in deposits, or 6.0 percent of the aggregate, and would be a
stronger institution than any of its components. This should tend to enhance its
competition with the State’s banking giants represented in each participating
bank's service area.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. These factors are found
to be generally satisfactory with respect to the resulting bank as they have been




84

with respect to the merging banks. The proposal would result in stronger overall
management and would resolve First Security's undercapitalized position.
Convenience and Needs of the Community to be Served. Most of the State's
growth has occurred in the resulting bank’s service area and economic pros­
pects are highly favorable. The resulting bank, with resources of almost $100
million, a lending lim it in excess of $1.0 million, trust services, a computer de­
partment and loan specialists, will be better able to serve this expanding region
than could the four banks independently.
Based on the above information and other information available to the
Corporation, the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the bank's
application is warranted.

The Commerce Bank and Trust Company, Worcester, Massachusetts, pro­
poses to merge with the Shrewsbury Bank and Trust Company, Shrewsbury,
Massachusetts.
The Shrewsbury Bank probably competes with Commerce to some extent, al­
though its principal com petitor is the local Shrewsbury branch of Worcester
County National. Within the entire Worcester Metropolitan Area (an area which
probably overstates the market in this case) the merging banks together hold
only about 3 percent of total IPC demand deposits. It should be noted that the
merging banks are largely owned by one family who hold 95 percent of the
stock of Commerce and 89 percent of that of Shrewsbury Bank.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, N o vem ber 15, 1 9 6 7
Commerce Bank and Trust Company, Worcester, Massachusetts (Commerce),
an insured State nonmember bank with total deposits of about $11.2 millon,
has applied pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal De­
posit Insurance Act, for the Corporation’s prior approval to merge with
Shrewsbury Bank and Trust Company, Shrewsbury, Massachusetts (Merging
Bank), also an insured State nonmember bank, which has total deposits of
about $4.6 million. The banks would effect this transaction under the charter
and title of Commerce and as an incident thereof the sole office of Shrewsbury
would become a branch of Commerce, increasing the number of its offices to
three.
Competition. The primary service area of Commerce is the City of Worcester
but touches on parts of six towns, including Shrewsbury, the location of Merg­
ing Bank. The primary service area of Merging Bank is the Town of Shrewsbury
and portions of adjacent Worcester. Because of this overlapping of service
areas, some competition exists between the participating banks but it does not
appear to be substantial. The banks, moreover, are 3 miles apart in a populous
area and are separated by a number of offices of other much larger banks. In
addition, Merging Bank’s principal competitor, only one-tenth mile away, is a
branch of the largest bank in Worcester County.
Commerce is the second smallest and Merging Bank the smallest in their res­
pective primary service areas. The resulting bank would continue to be one of
the smallest in the entire area, with only 5.2 percent of the commercial bank
deposits while the next largest commercial bank would be four times as large




85

BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

with 20.9 percent. In addition, several large mutual savings banks offer compe­
tition in the area. This merger should enhance the resulting bank's capacity to
compete with the larger banks in its service area.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed transaction would
not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. The banking factors with
respect to both participating banks are satisfactory, as they would be following
the proposed merger.
Convenience and Needs of the Community. This merger would give the re­
sulting banks a significantly higher lending limit. In addition, trust services may
be introduced at a future date. The comm unity's needs should be better served
through combining the operations of these two relatively small banks.
Based on the foregoing and on other information available to the Corpora­
tion, the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the bank’s applica­
tion is warranted.

The Central Jersey Bank and Trust Company is the second largest of 12
banks located in Monmouth County, New Jersey, where it operates 15 branch
offices.
Three branches of Central Jersey— in the towns of Long Branch, Eatontown,
and Fort Monmouth— are located from about 5 to 7 miles distant from Sea
Bright National. This distance is sufficiently short that we believe the merging
banks to be in direct competition with one another for at least certain classes
of business. This competition would, of course, be eliminated by the proposed
merger.
The proposed merger would also increase the market share of Monmouth
County's second largest bank by about 1.2 percent of total IPC deposits to 22.1
percent, and further increase concentration in this already concentrated banking
market.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, N o vem b er 2 2 , 1 9 6 7
The Central Jersey Bank and Trust Company, Freehold Township (P.O. Free­
hold), New Jersey (applicant), an insured State nonmember bank with total
deposits of $133,835,000, has applied, pursuant to Section 18(c) and other
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, for the Corporation’s prior ap­
proval to merge with The Sea Bright National Bank, Sea Bright, New Jersey
(National) which has total deposits of $7,315,000. The banks would merge un­
der the charter and with the title of the applicant and, as an incident to the
merger, the two offices of National would become branches of the applicant, in­
creasing the number of its offices to 19, including applicant's approved, but
unopened, de novo branch.
Competition. Applicant is headquartered in Freehold Township (population
6,500), which completely surrounds the Borough of Freehold (population 9,100),
the seat of Monmouth County. Applicant's 16 offices are in Monmouth County
and it has approval for an additional branch in Freehold Township. National's



86

main office is in the coastal resort community of Sea Bright (year-round popula­
tion 1,400) and its sole branch is located in Rumson (population 7,400). Mon­
mouth County, the relevant service area, has an estimated population of
420,800. The merging banks' nearest offices are 6 and 7 miles apart. Other op­
erating or approved banking offices intervene these areas. National's
conservative policies indicate that it is not a strong competitive force in the
area it serves. This and other evidence indicates that existing competition and
the potential for significant competition between the merging banks is minimal.
The increase of 1.2 percent in the applicant's share of the aggregate IPC de­
posits held by the banks in Monmouth County would not change its position as
second largest bank. The resulting bank would have 22.1 percent of such de­
posits. The largest bank in the county holds 24.8 percent. National's nearest
competitor, located 2 miles from its Rumson branch, is a branch of the coun­
ty's third largest bank. The county's largest bank has approval to establish a
branch 2 miles from National's main office. The increased resources of the ap­
plicant would not significantly affect competition in Monmouth County. Appli­
cant’s entry into the communities of Sea Bright and Rumson should stimulate
competition in those areas.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. These factors are satis­
factory with respect to the merging banks and are so projected for the resulting
bank.
Convenience and Needs of the Community to be Served. The Sea Bright and
Rumson areas are not being adequately served by the National Bank. There is a
demand in these areas for many services not now provided by National, includ­
ing a much larger lending lim it and types of loans other than those offered by
National, which the resulting bank can provide. In addition, the resulting bank
will offer computer and trust services.
On the basis of the above information, and other information available to the
Corporation, the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the bank's
application is warranted.

The proposed consolidation involves Wakefield Trust Company, Wakefield,
Massachusetts, and the Melrose Trust Company, Melrose, Massachusetts.
The closest offices of the merging banks are about 2 l/ 2 miles apart in the ad­
jacent communities of Wakefield and Melrose. In the Wakefield-Melrose area,
Wakefield Trust is the fourth largest bank and Melrose Trust is the fifth largest.
In view of the fact, however, that both banks have for many years been con­
trolled by the same bank holding company, we conclude that the effect of the
proposed merger on competition would not be substantial.

Wakefield Trust Company, Wakefield, Massachusetts (Charter Bank), an in­

sured State nonmember bank with total deposits of about $14 million, has ap­
plied, pursuant to Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit In­
surance Act, for the Corporation's prior approval to consolidate with Melrose
Trust Company, Melrose, Massachusetts (Merging Bank), also an insured State
nonmember bank, which has total deposits of about $12.5 million. The banks
would consolidate under the charter of Wakefield Trust Company and with the
title Melrose-Wakefield Trust Company, and as an incident thereof, the three of­
fices of Merging Bank would become branches of the resulting bank, increasing
the total number of offices to five.
Competition. Wakefield, the location of Charter Bank's main office and its sin­
gle branch, is located 10 miles north of Boston. Wakefield's population was ap­
proximately 24,000 in 1960. Melrose, where Merging Bank's main office and
two branches are situated, is 3 miles nearer to Boston, and its population at
the 1960 census was approximately 30,000. Both of the service areas are lo­
cated in the Boston metropolitan area. Competition between the participating in­
stitutions is nominal and is further minimized by the fact that both institutions
have long been controlled by The Shawmut Association, Inc., a registered bank
holding company. It owns 75.7 percent of the outstanding stock of Charter
Bank and acquired control in 1947, and 76.6 percent of the outstanding stock
of Merging Bank, which it has controlled since 1937. In view of this long-stand­
ing common ownership, the intense competition from two much larger mutual
savings banks in the combined service area, and the fact that Wakefield and
Melrose are satellite municipalities in a large urban complex centering about
Boston, the proposed consolidation would not have a significant effect upon
competition. Although the large Boston banks may not legally branch into Wake­
field or Melrose, they actively solicit business from those areas and many Wake­
field and Melrose residents commute to Boston.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed consolidation
would not substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in
any other manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. The banking factors with
respect to each participating bank are satisfactory as they would be with res­
pect to the resulting bank following the proposed consolidation.
Convenience and Needs of the Community. Present and potential customers
in both communities should benefit from the increased lending power of the re­
sulting bank and the generally expanded services it would be able to offer.
Based on the foregoing and on other information available to the Corpora­
tion, the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the application is
warranted.

The Bank of Clarksdale ( “ Clarksdale Bank"), with $30.5 million in total de­
posits, proposes to merge Bank of Lambert ( “ Lambert Bank"), which holds
total deposits of $4.3 million.
Two of Clarksdale Bank's four offices are situated in Clarksdale, Mississippi
(population 22,000), the county seat of Coahoma County (population 46,212).
Its two new offices, if approved, will also be located in that county. Lambert

Bank’s two offices are situated in adjacent Quitman County (population
21,019). This two-county area is still predominantly agricultural, although there
is a gradual trend toward industrial growth. Prospects for continued economic
growth are favorable.
Within Coahoma County, Clarksdale Bank competes directly with the four of­
fices of two other commercial banks and is the dominant bank. Lambert Bank
competes directly with the two offices of one other commercial bank in Quitman
County but is the smaller of the two, holding about 40 percent of total deposits
in the county.
The closest offices of the merging banks are about 22 miles apart, and there
does not appear to exist a substantial amount of actual competition between
them which would be eliminated by the proposed merger.
Mississippi law would permit Clarksdale Bank to expand by de novo branch­
ing into any community in adjacent Quitman County with a population of 3,500
or more. However, since the largest community in Quitman County appears to
be Marks (1960 population 2,600), the proposed merger would apparently not
at this time involve the loss of Clarksdale Bank as a potential entrant into this
county where only two banks presently operate.

B a s is fo r C o rp o ratio n ap p ro val, N o vem ber 2 8 , 1 9 6 7
Bank of Clarksdale, Clarksdale, Mississippi (applicant), an insured State non­
member bank with total deposits of $30,513,000, has applied, pursuant to
Section 18(c) and other provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, for the
Corporation’s prior approval to merge with The Bank of Lambert, Lambert, Mis­
sissippi, Lambert, Mississippi (Bank of Lambert) which has total deposits of
$4,292,000. The banks would merge under the charter and with the title of the
applicant and, as an incident to the merger, the two offices of Bank of Lambert
would become branches of the applicant, increasing the number of its offices to
eight, including applicant’s two approved, but unopened de novo branches at
Lula and Jonestown.
Competition. Applicant operates a main office and one branch in Clarksdale,
population 21,100, the seat of Coahoma County, population 46,200, in the
Delta region of northwestern Mississippi. Two other branches are presently in
operation, at Friars Point and at Drew, 14 miles northwest and 32 miles south,
respectively, of Clarksdale. Bank of Lambert operates only one branch, at
Sledge, population 440, 17 miles north of Lambert, a small agricultural center
with a population of 1,180. The nearest offices of the merging banks are their
main offices which are separated by 22 miles, with Bank of Lambert’s primary
competitor and the only other bank in Quitman County located 4 miles to the
north of Lambert in the intervening area on the primary highway to Clarksdale.
Because of the distance between the merging banks, the proximity of other
banks and the small size of Bank of Lambert and the communities it serves,
there is little competition between them that would be eliminated by this pro­
posal. The evidence further indicates there is little potential for competition.
There are two other effectively competing banks in Clarksdale, and although
applicant is the largest bank headquartered in the overall service area, numer­
ous banking alternatives are readily accessible, including branches of a consid­
erably larger bank, based elsewhere. The relatively small increase in applicant's
resources would not adversely affect competition in the relevant area.
The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the proposed merger would not
substantially lessen competition, tend to create a monopoly or, in any other
manner, be in restraint of trade.
Financial and Managerial Resources and Prospects. These factors are satis­
factory with respect to applicant as they would be for the resulting bank. Bank
of Lambert recently lost, through death, illness, and resignation, its active man­
agement and three of its directors. Prospects for rebuilding management are
poor.



BANK ABSORPTIONS APPROVED BY THE CORPORATION

89

Convenience and Needs of the Community to be Served. The evidence indi­
cates applicant is a well-established bank, able and anxious to expand the
services it offers and to extend them into new areas. Bank of Lambert’s main
office is sorely in need of replacement which applicant is prepared to provide,
along with trust services, an increase in lending lim itations from $45,000 to
$386,000, safe deposit box service and exchange of checks on a full-par basis.
On the basis of the above information, and other information available to the
Corporation, the Board of Directors has concluded that approval of the bank's
application is warranted.

An A ct
To amend section 22(g) of the Federal Reserve Act relating to loans to execu­
tive officers by member banks of the Federal Reserve System, and to amend
the Federal Credit Union Act to modify the loan provisions relating to direc­
tors, members of the supervisory committee, and members of the credit
committee of Federal credit unions.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled,
Section 1. Section 22(g) of the Federal Reserve Act (12 U.S.C. 375a) is
amended to read:
“ (g)(1) Except as authorized under this subsection, no member bank may
extend credit in any manner to any of its own executive officers. No executive
officer of any member bank may become indebted to that member bank except
by means of an extension of credit which the bank is authorized to make under
this subsection. Any extension of credit under this subsection shall be promptly
reported to the board of directors of the bank, and may be made only if—
“ (A) the bank would be authorized to make it to borrowers other than its
officers;
“ (B) it is on terms not more favorable than those afforded other borrow­
ers;
“ (C) the officer has submitted a detailed current financial statement; and
“ (D) it is on condition that it shall become due and payable on demand of
the bank at any time when the officer is indebted to any other bank or banks
on account of extensions of credit of any one of the three categories respec­
tively referred to in paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) in an aggregate amount
greater than the amount of credit of the same category that could be ex­
tended to him by the bank of which he is an officer.
“ (2) With the specific prior approval of its board of directors, a member
bank may make a loan not exceeding $30,000 to any executive officer of the
bank if, at the time the loan is made—
“ (A) it is secured by a first lien on a dwelling which is expected, after the
making of the loan, to be owned by the officer and used by him as his resi­
dence, and
“ (B) no other loan by the bank to the officer under authority of this para­
graph is outstanding.
“ (3) A member bank may make extensions of credit to any executive officer
of the bank, not exceeding the aggregate amount of $10,000 outstanding at any
one time, to finance the education of the children of the officer.
“ (4) A member bank may make extensions of credit not otherwise specifi­
cally authorized under this subsection to any executive officer of the bank, not
exceeding the aggregate amount of $5,000 outstanding at any one time.



94

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

"(5 ) Except to the extent permitted under paragraph (4), a member bank
may not extend credit to a partnership in which one or more of its executive of­
ficers are partners having either individually or together a majority interest. For
the purposes of paragraph (4), the full amount of any credit so extended shall
be considered to have been extended to each officer of the bank who is a mem­
ber of the partnership.
“ (6) Whenever an executive officer of a member bank becomes indebted to
any bank or banks (other than the one of which he is an officer) on account of
extensions of credit of any one of the three categories respectively referred to
in paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) in an aggregate amount greater than the aggre­
gate amount of credit of the same category that could lawfully be extended to
him by the bank, he shall make a written report to the board of directors of the
bank, stating the date and amount of each such extension of credit, the secu­
rity thereof, and the purposes fo r which the proceeds have been or are to be
used.
“ (7) This subsection does not prohibit any executive officer of a member
bank from endorsing or guaranteeing for the protection of the bank any loan or
other asset previously acquired by the bank in good faith or from incurring any
indebtedness to the bank fo r the purpose of protecting the bank against loss or
giving financial assistance to it.
“ (8) Each day that any extension of credit in violation of this subsection ex­
ists is a continuation of the violation for the purposes of section 8 of the Fed­
eral Deposit Insurance Act.
“ (9) Each member bank shall include with (but not as part of) each report
of condition and copy thereof filed under section 7(a)(3) of the Federal Deposit
Insurance Act a report of all loans under authority of this subsection ijiade by
the bank since its previous report of condition.
“ (10) The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System may prescribe
such rules and regulations, including definitions of terms, as it deems neces­
sary to effectuate the purposes and to prevent evasions of this subsection.”
Sec. 2. Section 8 of the Federal Credit Union Act (12 U.S.C. 1757) is
amended—
(1) by changing, in paragraph (5) thereof, “ shall exceed the amount of his
holdings in the Federal Credit Union as represented by shares thereof plus
the total unencumbered and unpledged shareholdings in the Federal Credit
Union of any member pledged as security for the obligation of such director
or committee member” to read “ may be made except as authorized under
paragraph (6) of this section” ;
(2) by redesignating paragraphs (6) through (13) of that section as para­
graphs (7) through (14), respectively; and
(3) by inserting, immediately after paragraph (5), the following new para­
graph:
“ (6) to make loans to its own directors and to members of its own super­
visory or credit committee, but all such loans shall be reported to the
Director at least annually, and such a loan may be made only if—
“ (A) the loan complies with all lawful requirements under this Act with
respect to loans to other borrowers and is not on terms more favorable
than those extended to other borrowers;
“ (B) upon the making of the loan, the aggregate amount of loans out­
standing to the borrower will not exceed the total amount of shareholdings
in the credit union, not otherwise encumbered or pledged, which are
pledged as security for loans to the borrower, or $5,000, whichever is
greater;
“ (C) upon the making of the loan, the aggregate amount of loans out­
standing under authority of this paragraph will not exceed 20 per centum
of the unimpaired capital and surplus of the credit union;
“ (D) the loan is approved by the credit committee and by the board of
directors after the submission to them of a detailed current financial state­
ment by the borrower; and



FEDERAL BANKING LEGISLATION— 1967

“ (E) the borrower takes no part in the consideration of his application
and does not attend any committee or board meeting while his application
is under consideration;".
Sec. 3. Paragraph (D) of section 8(8) of the Federal Credit Union Act is
amended to read: “ (D) in shares or accounts of savings and loan associations
or mutual savings banks, the accounts of which are insured by the Federal Sav­
ings and Loan Insurance Corporation or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpora­

notice of its intent to institute such a proceeding and the grounds therefor. Un­
less within such time as the Corporation deems appropriate in the light of the
circumstances of the case (which time will be specified in the notice) satis­
factory corrective action is effectuated by action of the State supervisory auth­
ority, the Corporation will proceed as provided in Subparts C and D of this part.
§308.2 Appearance and practice before the Corporation.
(a)
Power of attorney and notice of appearance. Any person who is a mem­
ber in good standing of the bar of the highest court of any State, possession,
territory, Commonwealth, or the District of Columbia, may represent others be­
fore the Corporation upon filing with the Secretary a written declaration that he
is currently qualified as provided by this paragraph, and is authorized to repre­
sent the particular party on whose behalf he acts. Any other person desiring to
appear before or transact business with the Corporation in a representative ca­
pacity may be required to file with the Secretary of the Corporation a power of



RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

117

attorney showing his authority to act in such capacity, and he may be required
to show to the satisfaction of the Board of Directors that he has the requisite
qualifications. Attorneys and representatives of parties to proceedings shall file
a written notice of appearance with the Secretary or with the trial examiner.
(b)
Summary suspension. Contemptuous conduct at an argument before the
Board of Directors or at a hearing before a trial examiner shall be ground for
exclusion therefrom and suspension for the duration of the argument or hear­
ing.
§308.3 Notice of hearing.
Whenever a hearing is ordered by the Board of Directors in any proceeding
pursuant to section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, a notice of hearing
shall be given by the Secretary or other designated officer acting for the Board
of Directors to the party afforded the hearing and to the appropriate supervisory
authority. Such notice shall state the time, place, and nature of the hearing, the
trial examiner, and the legal authority and jurisdiction under which the hearing
is to be held, and shall contain a statement of the matters of fact or law consti­
tuting the grounds for the hearing, and shall be delivered by personal service,
by registered or certified mail to the last known address, or other appropriate
means, sufficiently in advance of the date set for hearing to comply with the
provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The term “ party"-means a per­
son or agency named or admitted as a party, or any person or agency who has
filed a written request and is entitled as of right to be admitted as a party; but
a person or agency may be admitted for a limited purpose.
§308.4 Answer.
(a) When required. In any notice of hearing issued by the Board of Directors,
the Board of Directors may direct the party or parties afforded the hearing to
file an answer to the allegations contained in the notice, and any party to any
proceeding may file an answer. Except where a different period of not less than
10 days after service of a notice of hearing is specified by the Board of
Directors, a party directed to file an answer, or a party who elects to file an
answer, shall file the same with the Secretary within 20 days after service upon
him of the notice of hearing.
(b) Requirements of answer; effect of failure to deny. An answer filed under
this section shall specifically admit, deny, or state that the party does not have
sufficient information to admit or deny each allegation in the notice of hearing.
A statement of lack of information shall have the effect of a denial. Any allega­
tion not denied shall be deemed to be admitted. When a party intends to deny
only a part or a qualification of an allegation, he shall specify so much of it as
is true and shall deny only the remainder.
(c) Admitted allegations. If a party filing an answer under this section elects
not to contest any of the allegations of fact set forth in the notice of hearing,
his answer shall consist of a statement that he admits all of the allegations to
be true. Such an answer shall constitute a waiver of hearing as to the facts al­
leged in the notice, and together with the notice will provide a record basis on
which the trial examiner shall file with the Secretary his recommended decision
containing his findings of fact, conclusions of law and proposed order. Any such
party may, however, upon service of the recommended decision, findings, con­
clusions and proposed order of the trail examiner, file exceptions thereto within
the time provided in §308.10(a).
(d) Effect of failure to answer. Failure of a party to file an answer required
by this section within the tim e provided shall be deemed to constitute a waiver
of his right to appear and contest the allegations of the notice of hearing and
to authorize the trial examiner, without further notice to the party, to find the
facts to be as alleged in the notice and to file with the Secretary a recom­
mended decision containing such findings and appropriate conclusions. The
Board of Directors or the trial examiner may, for cause shown, permit the filing
of a delayed answer after the time for filing the answer has expired.



118

(e)
Opportunity for informal settlement. Any interested party may at any
time submit to the Secretary, for consideration by the Board of Directors, w rit­
ten offers or proposals for settlement of a proceeding, w ithout prejudice to the
rights of the parties. No such offer or proposal, or counteroffer or proposal,
shall be admissible in evidence over the objection of any party in any hearing in
connection with such proceeding. The foregoing provisions of this section shall
not preclude settlement of any proceeding through the regular adjudicatory
process by filing of an answer as provided in this section, or by submission of
the case to the trial examiner on a stipulation of facts and an agreed order.
§308.5 Conduct of hearings.
(a) Selection of trial examiner. Any hearing shall be held before a trial exam­
iner selected by the Civil Service Commission and designated by the Board of
Directors and, unless otherwise provided in the notice of hearing, shall be con­
ducted as hereinafter provided.
(b) Authority of trial examiner. All hearings governed by this part shall be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of chapter 5 of title 5 of the
United States Code. The trial examiner designated by the Board of Directors to
preside at any such hearing shall have complete charge of the hearing, and he
shall have the duty to conduct it in a fair and impartial manner and to take all
necessary action to avoid delay in the disposition of proceedings. Such examiner
shall have all powers necessary to that end, including the following:
(1) To administer oaths and affirmations;
(2) To issue subpenas and subpenas duces tecum, as authorized by law, and
to revoke, quash, or modify any such subpena;
(3) To receive relevant evidence and to rule upon the admission of evidence
and offers of proof;
(4) To take or cause depositions to be taken;
(5) To regulate the course of the hearing and the conduct of the parties and
their counsel;
(6) To hold conferences for the settlement or simplification of issues or for
any other proper purpose; and
(7) To consider and rule upon, as justice may require, all procedural and
other motions appropriate in an adversary proceeding, except that a trial exam­
iner shall not have power to decide any motion to dismiss the proceedings or
other motion which results in final determination of the merits of the proceed­
ings.
Without lim itation on the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the trial exam­
iner shall, subject to the provisions of this part, have all the authority of section
556(c) of title 5 of the United States Code.
(c) Prehearing conference. The trial examiner may, on his own initiative or at
the request of any party, direct counsel for all parties to meet with him at a
specified tim e and place prior to the hearing, or to submit suggestions to him
in writing, for the purpose of considering any or all of the following:
(1) Simplification and clarification of the issues;
(2) Stipulations, admissions of fact and of the contents and authenticity of
documents;
(3) Matters of which official notice will be taken; and
(4) Such other matters as may aid in the orderly disposition of the proceed­
ing, including disclosure of the names of witnesses and of documents or other
physical exhibits which will be introduced in evidence in the course of the pro­
ceeding.
Such conferences shall, at the request of any party, be recorded and at the con­
clusion thereof the trial examiner shall enter in the record an order which re­
cites the results of the conference. Such order shall include the examiner's
rulings upon matters considered at the conference, together with appropriate di­
rections to the parties, if any; and such order shall control the subsequent
course of the proceedings, unless modified at the hearing to prevent manifest



RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

119

injustice. Except as authorized by law, the trial examiner shall not consult any
person or party on any fact in issue unless upon notice and opportunity for all
parties to participate, nor be responsible to or subject to the supervision or di­
rection of any officer, employee, or agent engaged in the performance of inves­
tigative or prosecuting functions. No officer, employee, or agent engaged in the
performance of investigative or prosecuting functions in any case shall, in that
case or a factually related case, participate or advise in the decision of the trial
examiner except as a witness or counsel in the proceedings.
(d) Attendance at hearings. A hearing shall ordinarily be private and shall be
attended only by the parties, their representatives or counsel, witnesses while
testifying, and other persons having an official interest in the proceedings: Pro­
vided, however, That on written request by a party or representatives of the
Board of Directors, or on the Board's own motion, the Board, in its discretion
and to the extent permitted by law, may permit other persons to attend or may
order the hearing to be public.
(e) Transcript of testimony. Hearings shall be recorded and transcripts will
be made available to any party upon payment of the cost thereof and, in the
event the hearing is public, shall be furnished on sim ilar payment to other in­
terested persons. A copy of the transcript of the testimony taken at any
hearing, duly certified by the reporter, together with all exhibits, all papers and
requests filed in the proceeding, and any briefs or memoranda of law thereto­
fore filed in the proceeding, shall be filed with the Secretary of the Corporation,
who shall transm it the same to the trial examiner. The Secretary shall promptly
serve notice upon each of the parties of such filing and transm ittal. The trial
examiner shall have authority to rule upon motions to correct the record.
(f) Order of procedure. The counsel for the Corporation shall open and close.
(g) Continuances and changes or extensions of time and changes of place of
hearing. Except as otherwise expressly provided by law, the Board of Directors
may by the notice of hearing or subsequent order provide tim e lim its different
from those specified in this part, and the Board of Directors may, on its own
initiative or for good cause shown, change or extend any time lim it prescribed
by these rules or the notice of hearing, or change the time and place for begin­
ning any hearing hereunder. The trial examiner may continue or adjourn a
hearing from time to tim e and, as permitted by law or agreed to by the parties,
from place to place. Extensions of time for making any filing or performing any
act required or allowed to be done within a specified time in the course of a
proceeding may be granted by the trial examiner for good cause shown.
(h) Call for further evidence, oral argument, briefs, reopening of hearing.
The trial examiner may call for the production of further evidence upon any is­
sue, may permit oral argument and submission of briefs at the hearing and,
upon appropriate notice, may reopen any hearing at any tim e prior to the certi­
fication of his recommended decision to the Secretary. The Board of Directors
shall render its decision within 90 days after the Secretary has notified the par­
ties, pursuant to §308.13, that the case has been submitted to the Board of Di­
rectors for final decision, unless within such 90-day period the Board of Direc­
tors shall order that such notice be set aside and the case reopened for further
proceedings.
%308.6 Subpenas.
(a)
Issuance. The trial examiner, or in the event he is unavailable, the
Board of Directors, shall issue subpenas at the request of any party, requiring
the attendance of witnesses or the production of documentary evidence at any
designated place of hearing; except th a t where it appears to the trial examiner
or the Board of Directors that the subpena may be unreasonable, oppressive,
excessive in scope, or unduly burdensome, the party seeking the subpena may
be required, as a condition precedent to the issuance of the subpena, to show
the general relevance and reasonable scope of the testim ony or other evidence
sought. In the event the trial examiner or the Board of Directors, after consider­




120

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

ation of all the circumstances, determines that the subpena or any of its terms
are unreasonable, oppressive, excessive in scope, or unduly burdensome, he or
it may refuse to issue the subpena, or issue it only upon such conditions as
fairness requires.
(b) Motion to quash. Any person to whom a subpena is directed may, prior
to the time specified therein for compliance but in no event more than five days
after the date of service of such subpena, with notice to the party requesting
the subpena, apply to the trial examiner, or, if he is unavailable, to the Board
of Directors, to revoke, quash, or modify such subpena, accompanying such ap­
plication with a statement of the reasons therefor.
(c) Service of subpena. Service of a subpena upon a person named therein
shall be made by delivering a copy of the subpena to such person and by ten­
dering the fees fo r 1 day's attendance and the mileage as specified in
paragraph (d) of this section, except that when a subpena is issued at the in­
stance of the Board of Directors fees and mileage need not be tendered at the
tim e of service of the subpena. If service is made by a U.S. marshal, or his
deputy, or an employee of the Corporation, such service shall be evidenced by
his return thereon. If made by any other person, such person shall make affida­
vit thereto, describing the manner in which service is made, and return such af­
fidavit on or with the original subpena. In case of failure to make service,
reasons for the failure shall be stated on the original subpena. The original
subpena, bearing or accompanied by the required return, affidavit or statement,
shall be returned w ithout delay to the trial examiner.
(d) Attendance of witnesses. The attendance of witnesses and the production
of documents pursuant to a subpena, issued in connection with a hearing pro­
vided for in Subpart Bf C, or D of this part, may be required from any place in
any State or in any territory at any designated place where the hearing is being
conducted. Witnesses subpenaed in any proceeding under this part shall be
paid the same fees and mileage that are paid witnesses in the district courts of
the United States.
(e) Depositions. The Board of Directors or trial examiner, by subpena or
subpena duces tecum, may order evidence to be taken by deposition in any pro­
ceeding at any stage thereof. Such depositions may be taken by the trial exam­
iner or before any person designated by the Board of Directors or trial examiner
and having power to administer oaths. Unless notice is waived, no deposition
shall be taken except after at least 5 days' notice to the parties to the proceed­
ing.
(f) Application and order to take oral deposition. Any party desiring to take
the oral deposition of a witness, in connection with any hearing provided for in
this part, shall make application in writing to the trial examiner or, in the event
he is unavailable, to the Board of Directors, setting forth the reasons why such
deposition should be taken, the name and post office address of the witness,
the matters concerning which the witness is expected to testify, its relevance,
and the tim e when, the place where, and the name and post office address of
the person before whom it is desired the deposition be taken. A copy of such
application shall be served upon every other party to the proceeding by the
party making such application. Upon a showing that (1) the proposed witness
will be unable to attend or may be prevented from attending the hearing
because of age, sickness or infirmity, or will otherwise be unavailable at the
hearing, (2) his testim ony will be material, and (3) the taking of the deposition
will not result in any undue burden to any other party or in undue delay of the
proceeding, the trial examiner or the Board of Directors may, in his or its dis­
cretion, by such subpena or subpena duces tecum, order the oral deposition to
be taken. Such subpena will name the witness whose deposition is to be taken
and specify the tim e when, the place where, and the person before whom the
witness is to testify, but such time and place, and the person before whom the
deposition is ordered to be taken, may or may not be the same as those named
in the application. Notice of the issuance of such subpena shall be served upon




RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

121

each of the parties a reasonable time, and in no event less than five days, in
advance of the time fixed for the taking of the deposition.
(g) Procedure on deposition; objections. Each witness testifying upon oral
deposition shall be duly sworn, and the adverse party shall have the right to
cross-examine. Objections to questions or evidence shall be in short form, stat­
ing the grounds of objection relied upon; but the person taking the deposition
shall not have power to rule upon questions of competency or m ateriality or rel­
evance of evidence. Failure to object to questions or evidence shall not be
deemed a waiver except where the ground of the objection is one which might
have been obviated or removed if presented at that time. The questions pro­
pounded and the answers thereto, together with all objections made (but not in­
cluding argument or debate) shall be recorded by the person taking the deposi­
tion, or under his direction. The deposition shall be subscribed by the witness,
unless the parties by stipulation waived the signing or the witness is ill or can­
not be found or refused to sign, and certified as a true and complete transcript
thereof by the person taking the deposition. If the deposition is not subscribed
to by the witness, such person shall state on the record this fact and the rea­
son therefor. Such person shall promptly send the original and two copies of
such deposition, together with the original and two copies of all exhibits, by reg­
istered mail to the Secretary of the Corporation unless otherwise directed in
the order authorizing the taking of the deposition. Interested parties shall make
their own arrangements with the person taking the deposition fo r copies of the
testimony and the exhibits.
(h) Introduction as evidence. Subject to appropriate rulings on such objec­
tions to questions of evidence as were noted at the time the deposition was
taken or as would be valid were the witness personally present and testifying
(except objections waived under the third sentence of paragraph (g) of this sec­
tion), the deposition or any part thereof may be read in evidence by any party
to the proceeding. Only such part or the whole of a deposition as is received in
evidence at a hearing shall constitute a part of the record in such proceeding
upon which a decision may be based.
(i) Payment of fees. Witnesses whose oral depositions are taken shall be en­
titled to the same fees as are paid for like services in the courts of the United
States. Fees of persons taking such depositions and the fees of the reporter
shall be paid by the person upon whose application the deposition was taken.
§308.7 Rules of evidence.
(a) Evidence. Every party shall have the right to present his case or defense
by oral and documentary evidence, to submit rebuttal evidence and to conduct
such cross-examination as may be required for a full and true disclosure of the
facts. Irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious evidence shall be excluded.
(b) Objections. Objections to the admission or exclusion of evidence shall be
in short form, stating the grounds of objections relied upon, and the transcript
shall not include argument thereon except as ordered, allowed, or requested by
the trial examiner. Rulings on such objections and on any other matters shall
be a part of the transcript. Failure to object to admission or exclusion of evi­
dence or to any ruling shall be considered a waiver of such objection.
(c) Official notice. All matters officially noticed by the trial examiner shall ap­
pear on the record.
§308.8 Motions.
(a)
In writing. An application or request for an order or ruling not otherwise
specifically provided for in this part shall be made by motion. After a trial ex­
aminer has been designated to preside at a hearing and before the filing with
the Secretary of his recommended decision, pursuant to §308.9, such applica­
tions or requests shall be addressed to and filed with him. At all other times
motions shall be addressed to the Board of Directors and filed with the Secre­
tary. Motions shall be in writing, except that a motion made at a session of a



122

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

hearing may be made orally upon the record unless the trial examiner directs
that it be reduced to writing. All written motions shall state with particularity
the order or relief sought and the grounds therefor.
(b) Objections. Within 5 days after service of any written motion, or within
such other period of time as may be fixed by the trial examiner or the Board of
Directors, any party may file a written answer or objection to such motion. The
moving party shall have no right to reply, except as permitted by the trial exam­
iner or the Board of Directors. As a matter of discretion, the trial examiner or
the Board of Directors may waive the requirements of this section as to mo­
tions for extensions of time, and may rule upon such motions ex parte.
(c) Oral argument. No oral argument will be heard on motions except as
otherwise directed by the trial examiner or the Board of Directors. Written
memoranda or briefs may be filed with motions or answers or objections
thereto, stating the points and authorities relied upon in support of the position
taken.
(d) Rulings on motions. Except as otherwise provided in this part, the trial
examiner shall rule upon all motions properly addressed to him and upon such
other motions as the Board of Directors may direct, except that if the trial ex­
aminer finds that a prompt decision by the Board of Directors on a motion is
essential to the proper conduct of the proceeding, he may refer such motion to
the Board of Directors for decision. The Board of Directors shall rule upon all
motions properly submitted to it for decision.
(e) Appeal from rulings on motions. All motions and answers or objections
thereto and rulings thereon shall become part of the record. Rulings of a trial
examiner on any motion may not be appealed to the Board of Directors prior to
its consideration of the trial examiner’s recommended decision, findings and
conclusions except by special permission of the Board of Directors; but they
shall be considered by the Board of Directors in reviewing the record. Requests
to the Board of Directors for special permission to appeal from such rulings of
the trial examiner shall be filed promptly, in writing, and shall briefly state the
grounds relied on. The moving party shall immediately serve a copy thereof on
every other party to the proceeding.
(f) Continuation of hearing. Unless otherwise ordered by the trial examiner
or the Board of Directors, the hearing shall continue pending the determination
of any motion by the Board of Directors.
§308.9 Proposed findings and conclusions and recommended decision.
(a) Proposed findings and conclusions by parties. Each party to a hearing
shall have a period of 15 days after service of the Secretary's notice of the fil­
ing and transm ittal of the record, as provided in paragraph (e) of §308.5, or
such further time as the trial examiner for good cause shall determine, to file
with the trial examiner proposed findings of fact, conclusions of law and order,
which may be accompanied by a brief or memorandum in support thereof. Such
proposals shall be supported by citation of such statutes, decisions and other
authorities, and by page references to such portions of the record, as may be
relevant. All such proposals, briefs and memoranda shall become a part of the
record.
(b) Recommended decision and filing of record. The trial examiner shall,
within 30 days after the expiration of the time allowed for the filing of proposed
findings, conclusions, and order, or within such further time as the Board of Di­
rectors for good cause shall determine, file with the Secretary and certify to the
Board of Directors for decision the entire record of the hearing, which shall
include his recommended decision, findings of fact, conclusions of law, and pro­
posed order, the transcript, exhibits (including on request of any of the parties
any exhibits excluded from evidence or tenders of proof), exceptions, rulings,
and all briefs and memoranda filed in connection with the hearing. Promptly
upon such filing the Secretary shall serve upon each party to the proceeding a
copy of the trial examiner's recommended decision, findings, conclusions, and




RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

however, in any case where the hearing was held before the Board of Directors.
§308.10 Exceptions.
(a) Filing. Within 15 days after service of the recommended decision, find­
ings, conclusions, and proposed order of the trial examiner, or such further
tim e as the Board of Directors for good cause shall determine, any party (other
than a party who has not filed an answer in accordance with paragraphs (a)
and (d) of §308.4, unless no answer was required of such party by the Board of
Directors) may file with the Secretary exceptions thereto or any part thereof, or
to the failure of the trial examiner to make any recommendation, finding, or
conclusion, or to the admission or exclusion of evidence, or other ruling of the
trial examiner, supported by such brief as may appear advisable.
(b) Waiver. Failure of a party to file exceptions to the recommended deci­
sion, findings, conclusions, and proposed order of the trial examiner or any
portion thereof, or to his failure to adopt a proposed finding or conclusion, or
to the admission or exclusion of evidence or other ruling of the trial examiner,
within the time prescribed in paragraph (a) of this section, shall be deemed to
be a waiver of objection thereto.
§308.11 Briefs.
(a) Contents. All briefs shall be confined to the particular matters in issue.
Each exception or proposed finding or conclusion which is briefed shall be sup­
ported by a concise argument or by citation of such statutes, decisions or other
authorities and by page reference to such portions of the record or recommend­
ed decision of the trial examiner as may be relevant. If the exception relates to
the admission or exclusion of evidence, the substance of the evidence admitted
or excluded shall be set forth in the brief with appropriate references to the
transcript.
(b) Reply briefs. Reply briefs may be filed with the Secretary of the Corpora­
tion within 10 days after service of briefs and shall be confined to matters in

mended decision of the trial examiner, the Board of Directors, if it considers

ment before the Board of Directors or one or more members thereof. Oral

§330.1 General principles applicable in determining insurance of deposit accounts.
(a) General. This Part 330 provides for determination by the Corporation of
the insured depositors of an insured bank and the amount of their insured de­
posit accounts. The rules for determining the insurance coverage of deposit ac­
counts maintained by depositors in the same or different rights and capacities
in the same insured bank are set forth in the following provisions of this part.
Insofar as rules of local law enter into such determinations, the law of the ju r­
isdiction in which the insured bank's principal office is located shall govern.
(b) Records. (1) The deposit account records of the insured bank shall be
conclusive as to the existence of any relationship pursuant to which the funds
in the account are deposited and on which a claim for insurance coverage is
founded. Examples would be trustee, agent, custodian or executor. No claim for
insurance based on such a relationship will be recognized in the absence of
such disclosure.
(2) If the deposit account records of an insured bank disclose the existence
of a relationship which may provide a basis for additional insurance, the details
of the relationship and the interests of other parties in the account must be as­
certainable either from the records of the bank or the records of the depositor
maintained in good faith and in the regular course of business.
(3) The deposit account records of an insured bank in connection with a
trust account shall disclose the name of both the settlor (grantor) and the trus­
tee of the trust and shall contain an account signature card executed by the
trustee.
(4) The interests of the co-owners of a joint deposit account shall be
deemed equal, unless otherwise stated on the insured bank's records in the
case of a tenancy in common.
(c) Valuation of trust interests. (1) Trust interests in the same tru st depos­
ited in the same account will be separately insured if the value of the trust inter­
est is capable of determination, without evaluation of contingencies, except for
those covered by the present worth tables and rules of calculation for their use
set forth in §20.2031-7 of the Federal Estate Tax Regulations (26 CFR
20.2031-7).
(2) In connection with any trust in which certain trust interests are not capa­
ble of evaluation in accordance with the foregoing rule, payment by the
Corporation to the trustee with respect to all such trust interests shall not ex­
ceed the basic insured amount of $15,000.
(3) Each trust interest in any trust established by two or more settlors shall
be deemed to be derived from each settlor pro rata to his contribution to the
trust.
(4) The term “ trust interest” means the interest of a beneficiary in an irrev­




RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

135

ocable express trust, whether created by trust instrument or statute, but does
not include any interest retained by the settlor.
(5)
With respect to trust funds held by an insured bank in a fiduciary capac­
ity pursuant to section 7(i) of the Act, the term ‘ ‘trust interest" shall mean the
same as the term “ trust funds" as used in section 3(p) of the Act.
§330.2 Single ownership accounts.
Funds owned by an individual and deposited in the manner set forth below
shall be added together and insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate.
(a) Individual accounts. Funds owned by an individual (or by the community
between husband and wife of which the individual is a member) and deposited
in one or more deposit accounts in his own name shall be insured up to
$15,000 in the aggregate.
(b) Accounts held by agents or nominees. Funds owned by a principal and
deposited in one or more deposit accounts in the name or names of agents or
nominees shall be added to any individual deposit accounts of the principal and
insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate.
(c) Accounts held by guardians, custodians, or conservators. Funds held by a
guardian, custodian, or conservator for the benefit of his ward or fo r the benefit
of a minor under a Uniform Gifts to Minors Act and deposited in one or more
deposit accounts in the name of the guardian, custodian, or conservator shall
be added to any individual deposit accounts of the ward or minor and insured
up to $15,000 in the aggregate.
§330.3 Testamentary accounts.
(a) Funds owned by an individual and deposited in a revocable trust ac­
count, tentative or “ Totten" trust account, “ payable-on-death" account or sim i­
lar account evidencing an intention th a t on his death the funds shall belong to
his spouse, child or grandchild shall be insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate
as to each such named beneficiary, separately from any other accounts of the
owner.
(b) If the named beneficiary of such an account is other than the owner’s
spouse, child or grandchild, the funds in such account shall be added to any in­
dividual accounts of such owner and insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate.
§330.4 Accounts held by executors or administrators.
Funds of a decedent held in the name of the decedent or in the name of the
executor or administrator of his estate and deposited in one or more deposit
accounts shall be insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate, separately from the
individual deposit accounts of the beneficiaries of the estate or of the executor
or administrator.
§330.5 Accounts held by a corporation or partnership.
Deposit accounts of a corporation or partnership engaged in any independent
activity shall be insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate. A deposit account of a
corporation or partnership not engaged in an independent activity shall be
deemed to be owned by the person or persons owning such corporation or com­
prising such partnership and, for deposit insurance purposes, the interest of
each person in such a deposit account shall be added to any other deposit ac­
counts individually owned by such person and insured up to $15,000 in the
aggregate.
§330.6 Accounts held by an unincorporated association.
Deposit accounts of an unincorporated association engaged in any independ­
ent activity shall be insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate. A deposit account
of an unincorporated association not engaged in an independent activity shall
be deemed to be owned by the persons comprising such association and, for
deposit insurance purposes, the interest of each owner in such a deposit ac­
count shall be added to any other deposit accounts individually owned by such
person and insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate.

FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

§330.7 Independent activity.
The term "independent activity” means any activity other than one directed
solely at increasing insurance coverage.
§330.8 Public unit accounts.
(a) General. Where different officers, agents or employees of the same public
unit, having by law the official custody of public funds of the unit, deposit the
same in an insured bank, each such officer, agent or employee shall be sep­
arately insured up to $15,000 in such custodial capacity. An officer, employee,
or agent of a public unit shall be deemed to be insured only up to $15,000
with respect to all public funds of the same unit held by him, regardless of how
many offices he holds in such unit or the purposes for which such funds are
held or designated. If the same person is an officer, employee, or agent of more
than one public unit, he shall be separately insured up to $15,000 with respect
to the public funds held by him of each such unit.
(b) Public bond issues. Where an officer, agent or employee of a public unit
has custody of certain funds which by law or under the bond indenture are re­
quired to be paid to the holders of bonds issued by the public unit, any deposit
of such funds in an insured bank shall be deemed to be a deposit by a trustee
of trust funds of which the bondholders are pro rata beneficiaries, and each
such beneficial interest shall be separately insured up to $15,000.
§330.9 Joint accounts.
(a) Separate insurance coverage. Deposits owned jointly, whether as joint
tenants with right of survivorship, as tenants by the entireties, as tenants in
common, or by husband and wife as community property, shall be insured sep­
arately from deposit accounts individually owned by the co-owners.
(b) Qualifying joint accounts. A joint deposit account shall be deemed to ex­
ist, for purposes of insurance of accounts, only if each co-owner has personally
executed a deposit account signature card and possesses withdrawal rights. The
restrictions of this subsection shall not apply to holders in due course of a de­
posit obligation of a bank evidenced by a negotiable instrument which had, in
fact, been negotiated prior to the closing of the bank.
(c) Failure to qualify. A deposit account owned jointly which does not quali­
fy as a joint account for purposes of insurance of accounts shall be treated as
owned by the named persons as individuals and the actual ownership interest
of each such person in such account shall be added to any other accounts indi­
vidually owned by such person and insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate.
(d) Same combination of individuals. All joint deposit accounts owned by the
same combination of individuals shall first be added together and insured up to
$15,000 in the aggregate.
(e) Interest of each co-owner. The interests of each co-owner in all joint de­
posit accounts owned by different combinations of individuals shall then be
added together and insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate.
§330.10 Trust accounts.
All trust interests for the same beneficiary deposited in deposit accounts es­
tablished pursuant to valid trust agreements created by the same settlor (gran­
tor) shall be added together and insured up to $15,000 in the aggregate, sep­
arately from other deposit accounts of the trustee of such tru st funds or the
settlor or beneficiary of such trust arrangements.
§330.11 Deposits evidenced by negotiable instruments.
If any insured deposit obligation of a bank be evidenced by a negotiable cer­
tificate of deposit, negotiable draft, negotiable cashier's or officer’s check, nego­
tiable certified check, or negotiable traveler's check or letter of credit, the own­
er of such deposit obligation will be recognized for all purposes of claim for
insured deposits to the same extent as if his name and interest were#disclosed
on the records of the bank provided the instrument was in fact negotiated to




RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

137

such owner prior to the date of the closing of the bank. Affirmative proof of
such negotiation must be offered in all cases to substantiate the claim.
§330.12 Deposit obligations for payment of items forwarded for collection by
bank acting as agent.
Where a closed bank has become obligated for the payment of items fo r­
warded for collection by a bank acting solely as agent, the owner of such items
will be recognized for all purposes of claim for insured deposits to the same
extent as if his name and interest were disclosed on the records of the bank
when such claim for insured deposits, if otherwise payable, has been estab­
lished by the execution and delivery of prescribed forms. Such bank forwarding
such items for the owners thereof will be recognized as agent for such owners
for the purpose of making an assignment of the rights of such owners against
the closed insured bank to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and for
the purpose of receiving payment on behalf of such owners.
§330.13 Continuation of prior coverage.
All deposit accounts insured under the rules and interpretations heretofore in
effect shall continue to be insured, anything in this part to the contrary notwith­
standing, until April 15, 1968.
§330.14 Notification of depositors.
Each insured bank is required to provide notice of these revisions to the
Rules and Regulations for Clarification and Definition of Insurance Coverage of
Deposit Accounts, Part 330, prior to February 1, 1968, to the depositors of
each deposit account which had a balance in excess of $5,000 on any date se­
lected by the bank between September 1, 1967, and February 1, 1968. Such no­
tice shall consist of mailing to such depositors at their last known address as
shown on the records of the insured bank, a question and answer brochure on
insurance of deposit accounts prepared by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corpo­
ration. Such brochure shall also be made available to the public at each teller's
station or window where deposits are normally received and at new account sta­
tions of an insured bank. Additional explanatory materials may also be sent to
depositors at the option of the insured bank.
INTERPRETATION
§330.101 Recognition of deposit ownership in custodial accounts.
(a) The opinion of the Board of Directors has been requested as to whether
a fractional or percentage computation of the interests of owners of comm in­
gled funds on deposit in custodial accounts in banks insured by the Federal De­
posit Insurance Corporation meets the requirements of §330.1.
(b) Section 330.1 provides that if the name and interest of an owner of any
portion of a specifically designated custodial deposit is disclosed on the records
of the person in whose name the deposit is maintained and such records are
maintained in good faith and in the regular course of business, such owner will
be recognized for all purposes of claim for insured deposits to the same extent
as if his name and interest were disclosed on the records of the bank.
(c) The Board of Directors has concluded that, if the records of the deposi­
tor, maintained in good faith and in the regular course of business, reflect, at
all times, the name and ascertainable interest of each owner in a specifically
designated custodial deposit, such interest may be determined on a fractional
or percentage basis. This may be accomplished in any manner which indicates
that where the funds of an owner are commingled with other funds held in cus­
tody and a portion thereof is placed on deposit in one or more insured banks,
his interest in a custodial deposit in any one insured bank would represent at
any given time the same fractional share as his share of the total commingled
funds.

ment of the bank, (ii) shall provide a specifically designed blank space for
dating proxy, and (iii) shall identify clearly and impartially each m atter or group

graph (3) of this paragraph.
*
*
*
*
(3)
A proxy may confer discretionary authority with respect to other matters

tion is made that any such other matters are to be presented for action of the
meeting and (ii) a specific statement to that effect, except with respect to pro­
posals omitted pursuant to paragraph (k) of this section for which discretionary
authority may also be conferred, is made in the proxy statement or in the form
of proxy.
*
#
*
*
*
(k) Proposals of security holders. (1) If any security holder entitled to vote
at a meeting of security holders of the bank shall submit to the management of
the bank, within the time hereinafter specified, a proposal which is accompa­
nied by notice of his intention to present the proposal for action at the meet­
ing, the management shall set forth the proposal in its proxy statement and
shall identify it in its form of proxy and provide means by which security hold­
ers can approve or disapprove the proposal. The management of the bank shall
not be required by this section to include the proposal in its proxy statement
for an annual meeting unless the proposal is submitted to management not
less than 60 days in advance of a day corresponding to the first date on which
the management's statement was released to security holders in connection
with the preceding annual meeting of security holders. A proposal to be pre­



RULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE CORPORATION

139

sented at any other meeting shall be submitted to the management of the bank

apply, however, to elections to office.
(2) If the management opposes the proposal, it shall also, at the written re­
quest of the security holder, include in the proxy statement (i) the name and
address of the security holder, or a statement that such name and address will
be furnished upon request, and (ii) a statement of the security holder, which
shall not include such name and address, of not more than 100 words in sup­

Neither the management nor the bank shall be responsible for such statement.
(3) Notwithstanding subparagraphs (1) and (2) of this paragraph, the man­
agement may om it a proposal and any statement in support thereof from
its proxy statement and form of proxy under any of the following circum ­
stances:
(i) If the proposal is impossible to accomplish or, under applicable law, is
not a proper subject for action by security holders; or
(ii) If the proposal consists of a recommendation or request that the man­
agement take action with respect to a m atter relating to the conduct of the
ordinary business operations of the bank; or
(iii) If it appears that the proposal is submitted by the security holder princi­
pally for the purpose of enforcing a personal claim or redressing a personal
grievance against the bank or its management, or principally for the purpose of
promoting general economic, political, racial, religious, social, or similar causes;
or
(iv) If the management has at the security holder’s request included a pro­
posal in its proxy statement and form of proxy relating to either of the two
preceding annual meetings of security holders or any special meeting held sub­
sequent to the earlier of such two annual meetings, and such security holder
has failed without good cause to present the proposal, in person or by proxy,
for action at the meeting; or
(v) If substantially the same proposal has previously been submitted to secu­
rity holders in the management's proxy statement and form of proxy relating to
any meeting of security holders held within the preceding 5 calendar years, it
may be omitted from the proxy statement relating to any meeting of security
holders held within the 3 calendar years after the latest such previous submis­
sion: Provided, That (a) if the proposal was submitted at only one meeting dur­
ing such preceding period, it received less than 5 percent of the total number
of votes cast in regard thereto, or (b) if the proposal was submitted at only two
meetings during such preceding period, it received at the time of its second
submission less than 10 percent of the total number of votes cast in regard
thereto, or (c) if the proposal was submitted at three or more meetings during
such period, it received at the time of its latest submission less than 20 per­
cent of the total number of votes cast in regard thereto; or
(vi) If, prior to the receipt of such proposal, substantially the same proposal
has been received by the management from another security holder and is to
be included in the bank's proxy soliciting material.
(4) Whenever the management asserts that a proposal and any statement in
support thereof may properly be omitted from the proxy statement and form
of proxy, it shall file with the Corporation, not later than 20 days prior to the
date the preliminary copies of the proxy statement and form of proxy are filed
pursuant to paragraph (f)(1 ) of this section or such shorter period prior to
such date as the Corporation may permit, a copy of the proposal and any state­
ment in support thereof as received from the security holder, together with a
statement of the reasons why the management deems such omission to be
proper in the particular case, and, where such reasons are based on matters of
law, a supporting opinion of counsel. The management shall at the same time,



FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION

140

if it has not already done so, notify the security holder submitting the proposal
of its intention to om it the proposal from its proxy statement and shall forward
to him a copy of the statement of the reasons why the management deems the
omission of the proposal to be proper and a copy of such supporting opinion of
counsel.

are amended, and §336.735-31a is added, to restrict the requirements relative
to reporting employment and financial interests to those employees in positions
in which the possibility of conflicts-of-interest involvement is clear and to evi­

questions concerning the applicability of the reporting requirement. Section
336.735-34 is amended to eliminate quarterly supplementary statements;
§336.735-38 is amended to insure the confidentiality of statements submitted;

STATISTICS OF B A N K S
AND DEPOSIT INSUR ANC E




PART FOUR

154

NUMBER OF BANKS AND BRANCHES

INSURANCE
CORPORATION




Branches include all offices of a bank other than its head office,
at which deposits are received, checks paid, or money lent. Bank­
ing facilities separate from a banking house, banking facilities at
government establishments, offices, agencies, paying or receiving
stations, drive-in facilities and other facilities operated for limited
purposes are defined as branches under the Federal Deposit Insur­
ance Act, Section 3(o), regardless of the fact that in certain States,
including several which prohibit the operation of branches, such
limited facilities are not considered branches within the meaning
of State law.

DEPOSIT

Tabulations fo r all banks are prepared in accordance with an
agreement among the Federal bank supervisory agencies. Provision
of deposit facilities for the general public is the chief criterion for
distinguishing between banks and other types of financial institu­
tions. However, tru st companies engaged in general fiduciary busi­
ness though not in deposit banking are included; and credit unions
and savings and loan associations are excluded except in the case
of a few which accept deposits under the terms of special charters.

Mutual savings banks include all banks operating under State
banking codes applying to mutual savings banks.
Institutions excluded. Institutions in the following categories are
excluded, though such institutions may perform many of the same
functions as commercial and savings banks:
Banks which have suspended operations or have ceased to
accept new deposits and are proceeding to liquidate their assets
and pay off existing deposits;
Building and loan associations, savings and loan associations,
credit unions, personal loan companies, and sim ilar institutions,
chartered under laws applying to such institutions or under general
incorporation laws, regardless of whether such institutions are
authorized to accept deposits from the public or from their members
and regardless of whether such institutions are called “ banks" (a
few institutions accepting deposits under powers granted in special
charters are included);
Morris Plan companies, industrial banks, loan and investment
companies, and sim ilar institutions except those mentioned in the
description of institutions included;
Branches of foreign banks, and private banks, which confine their
business to foreign exchange dealings and do not receive “ de­
posits" as that term is commonly understood;
Institutions chartered under banking or trust company laws, but
operating as investment or title insurance companies and not en­
gaged in deposit banking or fiduciary activities;
Federal Reserve Banks and other banks, such as the Federal
Home Loan Banks and the Savings and Loan Bank of the State of
New York, which operate as rediscount banks and do not accept
deposits except from financial institutions.

NUMBER

Commercial banks include the following categories of banking
institutions:
National banks;
Incorporated State banks, tru st companies, and bank and trust
companies, regularly engaged in the business of receiving deposits,
whether demand or time, except mutual savings banks;
Stock savings banks, including guaranty savings banks in New
Hampshire;
Industrial and Morris Plan banks which operate under general
banking codes, or are specifically authorized by law to accept
deposits and in practice do so, or the obligations of which are
regarded as deposits for deposit insurance;
Special types of banks of deposit: cash depositories in South
Carolina; regulated certificated banks, and a savings and loan com­
pany operating under Superior Court charter, in Georgia; govern­
ment operated banks in American Samoa, North Dakota, and Puerto
Rico; a cooperative bank, usually classified as a credit union, oper­
ating under a special charter in New Hampshire; a savings insti­
tution, known as a “ tru s t com pany," operating under special charter
in Texas; an employee's mutual banking association in Pennsylvania;
the Savings Banks Trust Company in New York; and branches of
foreign banks engaged in a general deposit business in New York,
Oregon, Washington, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands.
Private banks under State supervision, and such other private
banks as are reported by reliable unofficial sources to be engaged
in deposit banking.
Nondeposit tru st companies include institutions operating under
trust company charters which are not regularly engaged in deposit
banking but are engaged in fiduciary business other than that inci­
dental to real estate title or investment activities.

OF BANKS

National banks and State banks in the District of Columbia not
members of the Federal Reserve System: Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency.
State banks members of the Federal Reserve System: Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Other insured banks: Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
Noninsured banks: State banking authorities; and reports from
individual banks.

171




Instalment loans are ordinarily reported net if the instalment pay­
ments are applied directly to the reduction of the loan. Such loans
are reported gross if, under contract, the payments do not immedi­
ately reduce the unpaid balances of the loan but are assigned or
pledged to assure repayment at maturity.
Asset and liability data for noninsured banks are tabulated from
reports pertaining to the individual banks. In a few cases these
reports are not as detailed as those submitted by insured banks,
and some of the items reported have been allocated to more de­
tailed categories according to the distribution of asset and liability
data for insured State banks not members of the Federal Reserve
System or for other noninsured banks.
Additional data on assets and liabilities of all banks as of June
30, 1967, and December 30, 1967, are shown in the Corporation’s
semiannual publication, “ Assets, Liabilities, and Capital Accounts,
Commercial and Mutual Savings Banks,” Report of Call No. 80, and
Report of Call No. 82. Data from Call No. 79, April 25, 1967, and
Call No. 81, October 4, 1967, were not tabulated for all insured
banks. Comparable tabulations for State and national banks were
not feasible because of a change in the form used for national
institutions.

ASSETS

Statements of assets and liabilities are submitted by insured
commercial banks upon either a cash or an accrual basis, depend­
ing upon the bank’s method of bookkeeping. Assets reported repre­
sent aggregate book value, on the date of call, less valuation and
premium reserves.
Assets and liabilities held in or administered by a savings, bond,
insurance, real estate, foreign, or any other department of a bank,
except a tru st department, are consolidated with the respective
assets and liabilities of the commercial department. “ Deposits of
individuals, partnerships, and corporations” include trust funds
deposited by a trust department in a commercial or savings de­
partment. Other assets held in tru st are not included in statements
of assets and liabilities.
In the case of banks with one or more domestic branches, the
assets and liabilities reported are consolidations of figures for the
head office and all domestic branches. In the case of a bank with
foreign branches, net amounts due from its own foreign branches
are included in “ Other assets,” and net amounts due to its own
foreign branches are included in “ Other liabilities.” Branches out­
side the 50 States of insured banks in the United States are treated
as separate entities but as in the case of other branches are not
included in the count of banks. Data for such branches are not
included in the figures for the States in which the parent banks are
located.
Demand balances with and demand deposits due to banks in the
United States, except private banks and American branches of fo r­
eign banks, exclude reciprocal interbank deposits. Reciprocal inter­
bank deposits arise when two banks maintain deposit accounts
with each other.
Individual loan items are reported gross instead of net of valua­
tion reserves. Accordingly, reserves for losses on loans are shown
separately.

INCOME

Reports of income and dividends are submitted to the Federal
supervisory agencies on either a cash or an accrual basis.
Income data are included fo r all insured banks operating at the
end of the respective years, unless indicated otherwise. In addition,
appropriate adjustments have been made for banks in operation
during part of the year but not at the end of the year. Data for 5
insured branches in Guam of 2 insured banks in California and
Hawaii, for 7 insured branches in New York of 2 insured banks in
Puerto Rico, fo r 16 insured branches in Puerto Rico and for 7
insured branches in the Virgin Islands of insured banks in New
York are not available.
The uniform Report of Income and Dividends (formerly called
Report of Earnings and Dividends) was revised extensively in 1961.
New items were added, combining components previously included
in other items; and some items were subsumed into new cate­
gories. Thus certain items, even carrying the same designation
(e.g. other current operating expenses), are not comparable with
data reported for prior years.
The revised form breaks out the following items not previously
available separately: (1) benefits to officers and other employees;
(2) net occupancy expense of bank premises, with a supporting
schedule; (3) furniture and equipment expense (including costs
related to the purchase or rental of automated data processing
systems); and (4) losses on securities sold.
Two expense items previously reported separately have been
combined with other items: (1) taxes other than on net income;

and (2) recurring depreciation on banking house, furniture and
fixtures. Taxes on bank premises, social security taxes paid in be­
half of building employees, and recurring depreciation on banking
house are now included under occupancy expense of bank prem­
ises. Other social security taxes are included with officer and em­
ployee benefits. Recurring depreciation on furniture and fixtures is
now included with furniture and equipment expense.
Revenue and expenses incident to “ Federal funds" transactions
have been classified as “ Interest and discount on loans" ^nd “ In­
terest and discount on borrowed money," respectively.
In addition to other minor changes in classification, new desig­
nations have been given to certain items. For example, the term
“ net income" is the new equivalent of the former term “ net
profits." A further change entailed the division of officers and other
employees into two groups: those engaged in banking operations,
and those concerned with building operations.

DEPOSIT

Noninsured bank failures

Disbursements by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to
protect depositors are made when the insured deposits of banks in
financial difficulties are paid off, or when the deposits of a failing
bank are assumed by another insured bank with the financial aid of
the Corporation. In deposit payoff cases, the disbursement is the
amount paid by the Corporation on insured deposits. In deposit
assumption cases, the principal disbursement is the amount loaned
to failing banks, or the price paid for assets purchased from them;
additional disbursements are made in those cases as advances for
protection of assets in process of liquidation and for liquidation
expenses.
