DISTRICT NO. 12.-The States of California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, and Utah, and all that part of Arizona not included in district No. 11, with the city of San Francisco, Cal., as the location of the Federal reserve bank.

This district contains 514 national banks which have accepted the provisions of the Federal reserve act. The capital stock of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, on the basis of 6 per cent of the total capital stock and surplus of the assenting national banks in the district, will amount to $7,825,375; and if there be added 6 per cent of the capital stock and surplus of the State banks and trust companies which have applied for membership up to April 1, 1914, the total capital stock will be $8,115,494.

The committee was impressed with the growth and development of the States of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon, but on the basis of 6 per cent of the capital stock and surplus of national banks and State banks and trust companies which have applied for membership, that section could not provide the $4,000,000 minimum capital stock required by the law. With the continued growth of that region it is reasonable to expect that in a few years the capital and surplus of its member banks will be sufficient to justify the creation of an additional Federal reserve district, at which time application may be made to the Congress for a grant of the necessary authority.

It is no part of the duty of the organization committee to locate branches of the Federal reserve banks. The law specifically provides that "each Federal reserve bank shall establish branch banks within the Federal reserve district in which it is located." All the material collected by the committee will be placed at the disposal of the Federal reserve banks and the Federal Reserve Board when they are organized and ready to consider the establishment of branch banks.

Reference is made to the map of the districts and to Tables A, B, C, D, E, and F, hereto attached.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 2, 1914.

D. F. HOUSTON,

Reserve Bank Organization Committee.
