THINKS PHILADELPHIA
SHOULD BE RESERVE CITY

John S. Rossell vice president of the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany, in speaking OF the concerted fight
being made by Philadelphia for a re-
gional bank as contemplated by the new
currency bill, today said;
philadelphia, by reason OF location,
population, large 'banking resources, ex-
tensive financial and busincrs connec-
tions and expanding commerce, presents
a strong claim for designation as one OF
the cities in which federal reserve banks
will be established under the new bank
ing and currency law. The selection OF
Philadelphia would be of immense ad-
vantage not only to the people and to
the banks and trust companies of Penn
sylvania and adjacent cities, but also in
a special manner to the financial insti-
tutions and to the people of the Delmar-
via peninsula.
"lt is, perhaps. too early TO determine
what action should be taken by our local
bankers and business men, but as the
division of the United States into re-
serve districts and the organization oi
regional banks will be taken up actively
in very short time, it is important
that a concerted movement should b'
inaugurated in this section of the coun
try to secure the greatest possible ad
vantages under such organization"
