Notice to the Banking Public A number of State banks in the State of North Carolina have entered into a suit against the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, seeking to restrain the collection of checks drawn on said State banks unless they are permitted to deduct a collection charge. As there is a law in the State of North Carolina which prohibits any notary from protesting any check if the drawee bank re- fuses to pay it in cash and tenders exchange in payment, the condition thus created renders it difficult for banks in this city to collect checks drawn on said State banks in the State of North Carolina. In order to protect curselves, the members of the Washington, D. C., Clearing House Associa- _tion have decided that after Monday, February 28th, 1921, they will not accept any checks drawn on any of the State banks in North. Carolina which are parties to the said suit; except for col- loction and with the distinct understanding that credit for such checks shall be given only upon final payment. THE WASHINGTON, D. C.
