Vol. 9 No. 9 Des Moines, Iowa June 23,1980 Policy Supports Interstate Banking HE Association of Bank Hold ing Companies is the first na tional banking trade association to adopt a policy in support of inter state banking. Meeting at the Con ference Center in Williamsburg, Va., the member companies approv ed a new policy urging that bank holding companies be permitted to consolidate with other bank holding companies in contiguous states. A bank holding company with more than $500 million in assets would be limited to acquiring one bank holding company in each con tiguous state during the first five years of the proposed law. All such consolidations would be subject to approval by the Federal Reserve Board and review by the Justice De partment. T New Policy The new policy reflects the react ion of member companies to the de velopments of recent years includ ing the increased competition from foreign banks and non-depository financial institutions and the forth coming report of the President’s study of the McFadden A ct and the Douglas Amendment to the Bank Holding Company Act. The Association’s members reaf firmed their support for a national policy to permit bank holding com pany acquisitions across state lines in the case of large failing banks and bank holding companies. In addition, the Congress was urged to consider the desirability of permitting bank holding companies to cross state lines to acquire thrift institutions in severe financial diffi culty. Finally, the Association recom mends that the states utilize the present authority of the Bank Hold ing Company Act to establish recip rocal agreements permitting inter state bank holding company operat ions. Profile A profile of interstate banking was described by Frederick Deane Jr., chairman, Association of Bank H oldin g Com panies. He co m mented: “ First of all, economic realities may well cause a sharp decline over the next decade in the absolute number of commercial banks and thrift institutions, and the number of ‘bricks and mortar’ offices. But interstate banking itself will not cause this decline; in fact, it will facilitate a more orderly consolida tion and restructuring of the finan cial services industry. “ Because national public policy will not countenance widespread fi nancial institution closings or fail ures, it will employ institutional re structuring in interstate banking as a method for integrating the weak and the strong. With this perspect ive in mind, it is possible to sketch the outlines of tomorrow’s ‘playing field.’ “ Banks will be able to operate in a natural trading area which is suit able to the size, operational capa city, managerial and professional abilities, and capital structure of each particular type bank. They will have the ability to extend a full range of credit and related financial services and the ability to purchase any type of funds. Within this broad market place, banks or regional bank holding companies must posi tion themselves in a realistic manner so that they can carefully identify appropriate customer segments. “ How is this accomplished? It makes sense to utilize existing loan production offices or bank-related subsidiaries within a natural trad ing area to provide deposit and other funds acquisition services. A mini mum of de novo activity may be needed, and some downstream mergers and consolidations with smaller commercial banks and thrifts (including finance com panies). In addition, some mergers and consolidations may take place ‘among equals,’ probably in conti guous states. “ To round out its ability to pro vide a wide range of services to all sizes of customers, a regional bank ing organization will want to deINTERSTATE BANKING . . .

LEGALITY TO BE APPROVED BY AHLERS, COONEY, DORWEILER, HAYNIE & SMITH, ATTORNEYS, DES MOINES, IOWA The Des Moines W ater Works provides retail water service to the residents of Des Moines and some unincorporated areas surrounding the City. The W ater Works also provides all of the water, on a wholesale basis, to the Cities of Clive, Johnston, Norwalk, Pleasant Hill, Urbandale, W indsor Heights, and Cumming, as well as two rural water districts and several benefited water districts. The Cities of Ankeny and W est Des Moines are also served on an intermittent basis. The estimated population of the service area (270,000), equals about 10% of the State’s population. Des Moines is the capital of the State of Iowa and also the County seat of Polk County. Since its incorporation in 1851, it has served as the commercial, industrial, governmental and financial center for the State. Des Moines is the home of Drake University (enrollment 6,600) Grand View College (enrollment 1,200) and several other smaller colleges and business schools. Des Moines is an important insurance center with sixty home offices located in the City. The largest is Bankers Life Company with 2,500 employees. Also important is the printing and publishing industry; the largest employer in this category is Meredith Corporation with 2,920 employed in the printing of Better Homes and Gardens and other periodicals. Besides insurance and publishing, there are an estimated 4 0 0 factories in the area with combined sales in excess of $500,000,000. Major industrial employers in the area include John Deere (farm equipment, 2,700 employees); Firestone Tire (tires, 2,950 employees); and Pioneer Hybrid Seed Co. (seeds, 1,700 employees). Large commercial employers located in Des Moines include Northwestern Bell Telephone (3,200 employees); Younkers Department Stores (2,000 employees); and Iowa Power & Light Co. (1,500 employees). In addition, it is estimated that the various levels of government provide employment to 17,500 people in the area. The population of Des Moines, according to the 1970 Census, was 201,404 and is presently estimated at 200,000. Des Moines is served by five airlines, six railroads and 67 truck lines. Interstate Highways No. 35 and 80 intersect in Des Moines. The area included within the City limits is approximately 65 square miles. There are twelve banks in Des Moines with total deposits in excess of $1,770,000,000. These bonds are being issued under the provisions of Chapter 384, Code of Iowa, 1979, as amended. The proceeds of this issue will be used to construct an intake in the Des Moines River ($1,000,000); to construct a raw water pumping station ($2,300,000); to construct a raw water transmission main ($6,700,000); and to partially fund a debt service reserve fund ($1,000,000). In the opinion of counsel, these bonds are legal and binding obligations of the Des Moines W ater Works, Iowa, payable from the future net revenues of the water system. This issue represents the only bonded indebtedness of the W ater Works. On May 2 0,1980, the Board of Trustees authorized, by Resolution, a rate increase of approximately 30% to become effective January 1, 1981.

The full-service players will include traditional depository institutions, foreign banks, ‘near banks’ like Sears, Merrill Lynch and Beneficial Finance, and some unex pected intruders such as AT&T, IBM and RCA which will become in volved in financial services through fee-based information communica tions. “ Some of these ‘ financial super markets’ will result from mergers between commercial banks and thrifts. A handful of banking organizations will become truly na tional banks —Chase, C itibank, Bank of America and a few others. “ Lastly, this scenario does not preclude a continuing and very suc cessful role for smaller financial in stitutions. There may not be as many independent ones as there are today, but the well-managed and aggressive smaller institutions will adopt on a smaller scale strategies similar to those being pursued by the regional holding companies. ’ ’ □ ® of Iowa, Inc.
