With respect TO a branch Of the
Federal Reserve bank, Mr.. Bonner
said, San Antonio's handicap can be
more readily perceived when it real
lied that the absence of branch here
necessitates San Antonio banks carry
ing an estimated total of s4,OOO,OOO

This money must be kept in the
banks in Dallas to meet the calls made
by the reserve bank there on nativnal
banks of San Antonio which are mem
bers Of the system. By having a
branch of the system here. Mr.. Bon

The unjustness of the present ar

seen in the fact that Houston's Fed

10 the eastern edge Of the county.
That the city will now bring its

sion. is predicted by Mr.. Beretts.
"For the first time business inter
