Features of the currency measure outlined for Federal Reserve system
The plan calls for eight to twelve reserve banks with about 100 million dollars capital in central cities across districts. Each bank would have nine directors, six elected by member banks and three by the Federal Reserve Board, with a Federal Reserve Board including the Treasury secretary and other appointees. Stock contributed by member banks equals six percent of capital and surplus, deposits of government funds totaling 150 million expected, and overall reserves near 700 million. Federal Reserve notes would be issued to member banks on collateral, redeemable in gold at the Treasury or lawful money at banks. A six percent dividend would be paid to stockholders, surplus used to pay debt and insure deposits. A Federal Advisory Council would advise the Board, with one member per reserve district.
