toned the committee on this matter
that Richmond be designated one of
these centers. and until Atlanta enter

Richmond would be selected.
However, many are now OF the opin-
ion that Atlanta with her additional
size and resources, will get the pref
erence. Local authorities are OF the
opinion that Richmond is the logical
situation for such a bank and are put
ting forth every effort to convince the
committee OF that fact.
Although they have expressed no
definite stand or opinion in the mat

cal bankers admit the theoretical
practicability Of the scheme, but want
