Of the result of a meeting held this morning between the

for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, representing also
the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, relative to the
final adjustment of the plan tentatively agreed upon by
the Federal Reserve Banks of Philadelphia and New York,
for adjustment of accounts between them growing out of the
recent transfer of banks to the New York District by order
of the Federal Reserve Board.

Board had submitted a plan of adjustment, making the following recommendations:
(1)

That the forms of application for surrender of stock
in the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, and for
subscription to stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, be approved.

(2)

That a joint letter to be sent out by the two banks
affected, be approved with a suggested amendment.
