New Federal Reserve Bank Building
At the request of Colorado business
men, including Denver bankers, Sena.
tor Phipps, together with the other
members of the Colorado delegation
in congress, has been urging Secre-
tary of the Treasury Mellon to author.
ize the construction of Federal Re-
serve bank building in Denver.
Such structure is badly needed
and would prove of benefit to the en-
tire Rocky Mountain region. The
land has already been procured for
this purpose, but some question has
arisen as to whether any Federal Re-
serve bank buildings should be con-
structed in the future without author
ity of congress. Senator Phipps has
indicated to Secretary Mellon that in
the case of Denver, he believes it
would be proper TO proceed with the
work at once as the plan has already
been approved by the board and there
is no question as to the necessity
for this building. He pointed out that
this construction would assist in solv-
ing local unemployment problems to
some extent at least. The secretary
now has the matter under advise
ment.
