Federal Reserve Bank Directors Named for Cleveland Unit
The Federal Reserve Board completed listings for directors of the twelve federal reserve banks with D C Wills of Bellevue Pennsylvania named Federal Reserve agent and chair, Lyman H Tredway of Cleveland as deputy agent and vice chair, and H H P Wolfe of Columbus. Even with directorates set, obstacles linger to an early bank opening in central cities New York Chicago and St Louis. Some risk favoritism if banks open unevenly under the new currency law reducing reserve requirements. Also notes for the reserve banks are not yet printed delaying installation of the system.
