Letter to Mr. Latham, Vice President, Federal Reserve Bank of
Boston, reading as follows:
"Reference is made to your letter of December 24,
1951, submitting for consideration of the Board of Governors a proposal of The Hartford-Connecticut Trust Company, Hartford, Connecticut, to remove its branch located in the center of the town of Wethersfield, Connecticut, to a new building to be constructed at the corner
of Silas Deane Highway and Beaver Road, Wethersfield,
which location is approximately three-fourths of a mile
from the present branch quarters.
"On the basis of the facts submitted, the Board
concurs in your opinion that the proposed change in
location does not constitute the establishment of a
new branch, and therefore the Board's approval is not
required."




Approved unanimously.
