FEDERAL RESERVE BANK OF NEW YORK [-Circular No. 1 5 9 4 1 LSeptember 27, 1935J Nomination and Election of Directors To Member Banks in the Second Federal Reserve District: An election will be held under the provisions of Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, to choose successors to the following directors of this bank whose terms will expire December 31, 1935: Class A director, EDWARD K. MILLS, President, Morristown Trust Company, Morristown, N. J., and Class B director, WALTER C. TEAGLE, President, Standard Oil Company (New Jersey), New York, N. Y. Both directors were elected by member banks in Group 2 and their successors will be chosen by this group. The member banks in Groups 1 and 3 do not elect directors this year and will not participate in this election. Attention is invited to the fact that the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has changed the classification of member banks for the purpose of electing Class A and B directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York so that Group 1 will consist of banks with capital and surplus of over $1,999,000, Group 2 of banks with capital and surplus of $301,000 to $1,999,000, (Listed on pages 3-7), and Group 3 of banks with capital and surplus of less than $301,000. Except as indicated in the next succeeding paragraph of this circular, each bank in Group 2 is permitted to nominate a candidate for Class A director and a candidate for Class B director.* The nominations should be made by resolution of the boards of directors of the nominating banks and certified copies of such resolutions should be sent to me so as to reach me on or before October 28, 1935. The enclosed printed forms show the appropriate forms of resolution and one copy of each form should be used in sending certified copies of the resolutions to me. *Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act reads in part as follows: "Class A shall consist of three members, who shall be chosen by and be representative of the stock-holding banks. . . . No officer or director of a member bank shall be eligible to serve as a class A director unless nominated and elected by banks which are members of the same group as the member bank of which he is an officer or director. "Any person who is an officer or director of more than one member bank shall not be eligible for nomination as a class A director except by banks in the same group as the bank having the largest aggregate resources of any of those of which such person is an officer or director.'' "Class B shall consist of three members, who at the time of their election shall be actively engaged in their district in commerce, agriculture or some other industrial pursuit. . . . No director of class B shall be an officer, director, or employee of any bank." "No Senator or Representative in Congress shall be a member of the Federal Reserve Board1 or an officer or a director of a Federal reserve bank." ^Section 203 of the Banking Act of 1935, approved August 23, 1935, provides, in part, that "Hereafter the Federal Reserve Board shall be known as the 'Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System' ".) In a resolution adopted December 23, 1915, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System expressed the opinion "that persons holding political or public office in the service of the United States, or of any State, territory, county, district, political subdivision, or municipality thereof, or acting as members of political party committees, cannot consistently with the spirit and underlying principles of the Federal Reserve Act, serve as directors or officers of Federal Reserve Banks." On December 28, 1915, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System resolved that "national bank examiners shall not hereafter be elected * * * to directorships in Federal Reserve Banks." Under date of July 2, 1925, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System advised it had "reached the conclusion that a person whose sole occupation is that of officer of an insurance company is not eligible for election as a Class B director of a Federal Reserve Bank." Under the provisions of Section 4 of the Federal Feserve Act, as amended**, whenever any two or more member banks within the same Federal Reserve District are affiliated with the same holding company affiliate (as that term is defined in Section 2 (c) of the Banking Act of 1933 as amended by Section 301 of the Banking Act of 1935)*** participation by such member banks in the nomination of candidates for, or the election of, directors of Federal Reserve Banks shall be confined to one of such banks, and the holding company affiliate may designate the bank to participate in such nomination or election. Accordingly, banks in Group 2 affected by the foregoing provision of the law are requested to take prompt action to have the appropriate holding company affiliate designate one of its affiliated banks to participate in this nomination and election. Such designations should be made by resolutions of the boards of directors or similar governing bodies of the holding company affiliates and should be made even though in any particular case only one of the affiliated banks may be in Group 2. Two copies of a printed form of appropriate resolution are enclosed, and one copy thereof should be completed and sent to me so as to reach me on or before October 28,1935. On October 30, 1935, copies of the list of candidates (indicating by whom nominated) and preferential ballots will be mailed so that, in the normal course of the mails, they will be received by all banks in Group 2 on October 31, 1935. The law provides that the ballot shall be cast within 15 days after receipt of this list. The polls will open on October 31, 1935, and will close at 12 o'clock noon on Friday, November 15, 1935. Upon the closing of the polls the ballot box will be opened in the board room of this bank, the votes counted and checked by tellers, and results of the election announced. The candidates will be invited to be present or represented on that occasion. In order to be counted as valid, the ballot must be executed by an officer authorized to cast the vote and must be received by me at or before the time thus fixed for the closing of the polls; (i.e., at or before 12 o'clock noon on Friday, November 15, 1935). The list on the following pages shows the officers heretofore designated for this purpose by the respective banks in Group 2. The banks in Groups 1 and 3 will not participate in this election, and this circular is sent to them without forms for their information only. J. H. CASE, Chairman of the Board. **Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended by Section 3 (b) of the Banking Act of 1933, provides, in part, as follows: . . . "That whenever any two or more member banks within the same Federal reserve district are affiliated with the same holding company affiliate, participation by such member banks in any such nomination or election shall be confined to one of such banks, which may be designated for the purpose by such holding company affiliate." ***Section 2 (c) of the Banking Act of 1933 defines the term "holding company affiliate" as follows: " ( c ) The term 'holding company affiliate' shall include any corporation, business trust, association, or other similar organization— " ( 1 ) Which owns or controls, directly or indirectly, either a majority of the shares of capital stock of a member bank or more than 50 per centum of the number of shares voted for the election of directors of any one bank at the preceding election, or controls in any manner the election of a majority of the directors of any one bank; or " (2) For the benefit of whose shareholders or members all or substantially all the capital stock of a member bank is held by trustees." Section 301 of the Banking Act of 1935, reads as follows: "Section 301. Subsection (c) of section 2 of the Banking Act of 1933, as amended, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following paragraph: 'Notwithstanding the foregoing, the term "holding company affiliate" shall not include (except for the purposes of section 23A of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended) any corporation all of the stock of which is owned by the United States, or any organization which is determined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Eeserve System not to be engaged, directly or indirectly, as a business in holding the stock of, or managing or controlling, banks, banking associations, savings banks, or trust companies.' >r 1935 Election of Directors .
