Reference is made to your letter of August 23, 1954,
enclosing a certified copy of a resolution adopted by the
board of directors of the Skagit Valley State Bank, Sedro
Woolley, Washington, signifying its intention to withdraw
from membership in the Federal Reserve System, and an ac—
companying letter signed by F. C. Fellows, President of the
bank. The resolution and the letter request a waiver of the
six months' notice of such withdrawal. It is understood that
the bank has or will apply to the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation for continuance of insurance of its deposits.
In accordance with the bank's request, the Board of
Governors waives the requirement of six months' notice of
withdrawal. Accordingly, upon surrender of the Federal Re—
serve Bank stock issued to the bank, you are authorized to
cancel such stock and make appropriate refund thereon.

amended effective September 1, 1952, the bank may accomplish

given. Please advise when cancellation is effected and
refund is made.
The certificate of membership issued to the bank should
be obtained, if possible, and forwarded to the Board. The
State banking authorities should be advised of the bank's
proposed withdrawal from membership and the date such with—
drawal becomes effective.




Approved unanimously.
