The American Bankers Association and New York Chamber of Commerce committees, after four days of work, proposed a government supervised issue of credit bank notes by national banks at 40 percent of their bonded capital, with a 2 percent annual tax and automatic increases under certain conditions.

Public moneys would be deposited in national banks without collateral securities, at 2 percent.
