To all Banking Institutions and Others Concerned
in the Eleventh Federal Reserve D istrict:

The Treasury Department has announced that the procedure which prevailed during
the first two quarterly tax payment periods o f 1954, with respect to the special handling of
large payments of corporation income taxes, will be effective also for March 1955 tax
collections. This arrangement will be applicable only to the extent of 25% of the amount
of tax payments of $10,000 or over.
During the period from February 28, 1955 through April 1, 1955, (1) Directors of
Internal Revenue will make special deposits with the Federal Reserve banks of checks
representing tax remittances of $10,000 or over covering payments of corporation income
taxes only, (2) Federal Reserve banks will prepare daily a “ Special Draft for Credit in
Treasury Tax and Loan Account” in an amount not to exceed 25% of the aggregate
amount of such checks drawn on each Special Depositary, and (3) in accordance with
conditions set forth on the face of the special draft, Special Depositaries may exercise
their option to accept for deposit in their Treasury Tax and Loan Accounts funds in an
amount equal to the amount of the special draft.
Withdrawals of balances in Treasury Tax and Loan Accounts arising from deposits
under this special procedure will be made in such manner as required by the needs of
the Treasury.
This bank will be glad to furnish any additional information in this connection that
may be desired.
Yours very truly,
WATROUS H. IRONS
President
