To the Member and Nonmember Clearing Banks
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve District:
We are informed by the Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran­
cisco that under the provisions of law recently enacted by the
Legislature of the State of Washington, all banks in Seattle and
in certain other cities will remain closed on Saturdays during
the period beginning June 16, 1947, and extending through Sep­
tember 1, 1947. Therefore, during the period indicated, the
Seattle Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco
will remain closed on Saturdays.
Due consideration should be given to the Saturday closing
referred to with respect to transfers of funds to and from banks
in the territory served by the Seattle Branch of the Federal Re­
serve Bank of San Francisco. Attention is also called to the
possibility that there may be a delay in the return of dishonored
cash items and in advice of the nonpayment of such items as a
result of the Saturday closing mentioned herein.
Yours very truly,

R. R. GILBERT
President
