PARIS, May 20.-The French gov-

stabilize the dollar soon at high level,
and 1t Is ready to assist in market oper-

Both the Bank of France and the
French treasury are anxious to avert a

ing a decision by the United States on
when stabilization may be expected and
at what level.
THE dollar will take care of itself
and require little handling" a spokes-
man said, no matter what rate is de-
cided on for stabilization.
Although France has urged the United
states to act, 1t was made clear that the
government has not been asked to join
any stabilization scheme. either for the
dollar or for the British pound. but if so
requested it would be entirely favor

At the Bank of France and the treas

MOST FLORIDA
CITIES DEFAULT
in BOND DEBTS
GOVERNOR MAKES SURVEY
OF CONDITIONS SHOWING
l5s OUT OF 1si FAIL TO
MEET OBLIGATIONS
tFlori,la Pressl

TALLAHASSEE, May 25.
Governor sholtz recently gave the
legislature a bond survey showing
that 159 out of 1s1 cities in Flor
ida are now in default either on
principal or interest or both. This
data has been supplemented with
figures showing that actual val
ues Of real estate in the major Of
Florida's bonded cities have drop
ped from three billion dollars in
1926 to little more than one bill
lion in 1888: while the principal
debt had dropped from $222. 000,-
600 to $204, 000, 300 IN 1913 cities
whose debts comprise most OF the
principal obligations of the state.
An unusual example of this de-
crease in property values Of Flor
ida municipalities. rs found by
this compilation, il Safety Har.
Dor. In 1926 Safety Harbor had
d debt nf s29 for every $1,000
OF artiaR property uMlne. III
1929 the values Of real estate
have so decreased that its debt
now amounts to SIS. 372 for every
1000 of assessable values, or q
net increase of debt since the
boom of 1880 percent.
Another heavily bonded city is
Bellair, in Pinellas County. where
the bond debt today amounts to
$500 for every listed resident.
Safety Harbor's per capita debt
Is $1,0O7; Coral Gables owes
$1,424 for every resident; Palm
Beach also has q high per capita
city debt, $I,239; but its bonded
debt for every $1,000 worth Of
assessable property Is only 500.
one Of the lowest Of the South
Florida cities.
The average shows that In 1925
cities Of Florida owed s74 on
each $1,000 worth Of property,
while in 1888 owing to the shrink
age in values and lack Of any ma
teriaI change In the outstanding
debt, the burden has exactly
doubled. now being st48 per
thousand for b statewide average.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Law en-
forcement agencies are discover
ing the alarming menace of the
new era in racketeering lies in the
fact that it is a direct onslaught
on legitimate business.
Until . few years ago racke-
teering was largely confined to in
tra-gang warfare for supremacy in
illegal liquor traffic and control Of
votes.
New Pastures Beckon
AS the flood of easy money
from these two activities began to
trickle away, the underworld
czars began inflicting their strong
arm extortion tricks upon legiti-
mate trades, and especially upon
the small business man.
The first trades to be forced to
pay toll were cleaning and dyeing
plants. laundries, and milk. fish
and poultry dealers. The racke-
teers organize their plans so clev-
erly that it is often difficult to
tell where legitimate business ends
and illegitimate begins.
tPersuading' The Laundries
A typical instance is in the laun-
dry business. Al racketeer leader
forms an organization of laundries
in a big city borough. All custom
ers are listed in several districts,
and each laundry is given one dis
trict. No laundry is allowed to
take work from customers outside
its district. The dues the laun-
dry pays the racketeer are passed
on to the customers in higher
charges for work.
If laundry refuses to join the
organization, or if one attempts
to invade another's territory, then
its truck drivers may be beaten
up. acid thrown on the laundry in
its plant, or machinery and de-
livery trucks wrecked.
Usually They Pay
Practically the same plan is APP.
in other trades, and the small
