Except in the case of two or more banks affiliated with the same holding company affiliate*, each bank in Group 2 is permitted to nominate a candidate for class A director and a candidate *Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, reads 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.*' 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, if it has not already designated, one of its affiliated banks to participate in this nomination and election. 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 28,1938. 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. On October 31, 1938, 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 November 1, 1938.

YOUNG, Chairman of the Board. **Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, 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 Board of Governors of the Federal Keserve System or an officer or a director of a Federal reserve bank.'' 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." 1938 Election of Directors List of 233 Member Banks in Group 2 Revised to September 27, 1938 Group 2 consists of member banks with capital and surplus of $301,000 to $1,999,000 CONNECTICUT Name of Bank or Trust Company Place Danbury Danbury Greenwich Norwalk South Norwalk Officers Authorized to Cast Vote City National Bank & Trust Company of Danbury .

Each member bank has heretofore been requested to designate, by_ title only, several officers to cast the vote of the member bank in elections of class A and class B directors of this bank. Hhis uniform plan of designation was for the purpose of avoiding the inconvenience incident to the designation of a single officer both by name and title, which made necessary the adoption of a new resolution in the event of his promotion or resignation or if for some other reason he was unable to cast the vote. As our records do not indicate that your bank has adopted a resolution designating officers by title only, I am enclosing two copies of a form of such resolution, with the request that this form of resolution be adopted by the board of directors and that a certified copy be sent to me.
