114"re Bank of Boston, reading as follows:
a
"In reply to your letter of May 261 19441 it will be
fl/Preciated if you will advise Mr. John T. Noonan, Counsel
e°4
:
1 the Old Colony Trust Associates, that the Board will
tertain and act on an application for a voting permit by
toe new corporation after it has entered into an agreement
bei acquire the assets of the Associates, such agreement
subject to the authorization by the Board of the
th--ance to the new corporation of a voting permit before
fae assets
are transferred. If the Board decides to act
on the application, the permit would not be issued
b v°z'ablY
the Federal
Reserve Agent until the actual transfer of
81P8 takes place. Therefore, the agreement should be
the authorization by the Board to issue the voting
v.07C-1
4 -t, rather than subject to the actual issuance of the
th 4.11g permit. This would obviate the necessity for recalling
e v°ting permit if the negotiations should not be consummated."
Approved unanimously.
