Committee on Reserve

COMPLETE HEARINGS At
NEW YORK AND OPEN To-
DAY IN BEAN CITY.
Hearing at New York May Result
In Four Banks Being Estab-
lished on Atlantic Seaboard.

NEW YORK. Jan. THE Federal
reserve organization committee today
concluded its hearings in New York
having devoted three days to ascer
tanning the views OF New York bank
ers concerning the task with which
the committee Is charged, OF setting
up the regional reserve districts pro

OF Secretary McAdoo of the treasury
department and Secretary Houston OF
the department OF agriculture, will
proceed tomorrow TO BostoE the next
point in its Journey TO the financial
centers of the country, where hearings
Will be held on Friday and Saturday.
After the hearings here had been
concluded, Secretary McAdoo was
asked whether he had been impressed
by the arguments advanced almost
unanimously by the New York bank
ers who have appeared in favor of es.
tablishment here of a regional bank
OF such size that ii would oversh adow

mittee had reached no conclusions.
Those who attended the hearins and
listened to the objections raised by
the committee TO the proposal for a
huge New York bank believed the most
probable solution OF the question. in
the light OF evidence so far adduced
was the placing Of three or four re-.
gional banks on or near the Atlantic
