The power given to Federal Reserve Board,

1917, to determ ine and regulate reasonable
exchange charges w hich mem ber or non

to national banks, State member banks and
trust companies, and nonmember clearing
depositor banks. I t does not apply to non

The above banks can adjust exchange charges as
agreed upon between them selves, not to ex
ceed 10 cents per $100, bu t can not make
such charges against Federal Reserve Banks
nor can Federal Reserve Banks pay such
charges, 4— 367

charges against Federal Reserve Banks is
lim ited to checks owned b y them, as distin
guished from checks deposited to be cleared
or collected for the account of a member or
depositor has no foundation, 4— 367
The Federal Reserve Banks probably do own all
