FEDERAL RESERVE BANK
OF DALLAS

Circular No* 48
Series of 1918.

October 11, 1918.

TO THE MEMBER BANK ADDRESSED:
We invite jour attention to and request that you be
governed by the following letter from the Federal Reserve Board:
"It has come to the attention of the Board that
some misunderstanding has arisen as to the character of pay checks
of railway companies, and member banks are refusing to accept same
on a parity with checks issued by others.
If there is such a misunderstanding in your district,
will you please instruct your member banks that pay checks of
railway companies should be taken by them just as freely and on the
same basis as all other checks received by them, and that such checl
will b8 taken by your bank on the same terms as ether checks.
(Signed)

W. P. G. Harding,
Governor."

The above refers, particularly in this district
to checks issued by railway companies against themselves, but made
payable by one of their own agents when in funds, or at any one of
the depositaries of the railway companies indicated on the checks.
Yours very truly,

X

Governor.
