Five Million Dollar Cash Sent to Tampa Banks
The Associated Press reports five million dollars in cash was sent from the Atlanta Federal Reserve to Tampa to bolster Florida bankers and restore public confidence as fifteen banks in the region had closed yesterday and twenty three in two weeks. Federal authorization for two one million dollar currency depots, in Tampa and Miami, was expected to aid depositors. Comptroller Ernest Amos blamed unnecessary withdrawals propaganda and a statewide financial depression exacerbated by fruit fly quarantine. Deputy Fed official C Creed Taylor said banks could access all needed funds. The five million was delivered to the First National Bank of Tampa, a Fed member.
