September 2, 1954

To Member and Nonmember Clearing Banks
in the Second Federal Reserve District:

The recent hurricane has disrupted transportation and
operating facilities of a number of banks in the First and Second
Federal Reserve Districts.

As a result, there will be a delay in

advice of nonpayment and return of unpaid items drawn on banks
located in the affected areas.
We will continue to give credit in accordance with our
time schedules for cash items payable in the affected areas, but
we reserve the right, of course, to charge back any unpaid items
at any time.




ALLAN SFROUL,
President.
