[2] Attorney Lawrence O. Murray had extensive government service prior to his appointment as Comptroller by President Theodore Roosevelt.

During his tenure, the size of the national banking system prompted Congress to authorize appointment of a second deputy comptroller.

In the interim before Murray's successor took office, the Federal Reserve Act was passed.

The act created twelve Federal Reserve Districts, with the Comptroller designating a district chief national bank examiner for each district under whom a corps of examiners and assistants worked.
