FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF DALLAS
D A L L A S 13. T E X A S

April 18,1947

EXEMPTION UNDER REGULATION W
DISASTER CREDITS

To the Registrant Addressed:

Under the authority contained in Section 7(i) of Regula­
tion W, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas has found that the
explosions and fire which occurred in Texas City, Texas, and
vicinity on April 16, 1947, has created an emergency affecting
a substantial number of inhabitants in that area.
Accordingly, any extension o f credit to finance the replace­
ment of property damaged or lost as a result of the explosions
and fire in the designated stricken area is exempt from the
provisions of Regulation W, provided such extension is made
prior to the end of the sixth calendar month following the
month in which the disaster occurred.
In order that the status of such extensions of credit may
be definitely established, dealers and lenders who extend credit
under this exemption should retain in their files written state­
ments from the obligors describing the damage or loss.
Yours very truly,
R. R. GILBERT
President
