being made to erect a building here to
accommodate the Florida branch of
the Federal Reserve Bank, according
to an announcement by officials of the
Sixth district with headquarters at

the building. The local branch is at
present quartered in one of the down

Consideration of the plans for the

the national board at Washington, it
was said. The recent designation of
