NEW YORK FISCAL
POSITION IS FIRM
Debt Service Cut by 10lz
MiIIion-LoWer Rate of
Interest Gained.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 12.--The off,
cial guardians of New York's finances
pridefully pointed today to the fact
the city did not default single in
terest or principal payment on its in
debtedness during the depression. Nor
was a pay roll missed.
New York City today" said Con-
troller Frank ]. Taylor, "is in an ex-
tremely sound financial condition.
We have reduced our debt service py
SIC, 800, 900 over last year.
"The city's credit Is such that we
are able now to borrow money at an
interest rate lower than ever before.
Whereas in 1929 we had to pay from
to 5R per cent on our indebtedness.
today we are borrowing at az per
cent and on some short-term issues as
low as lis per cent"
Delinquent Income Cheering.
William Reid, city collector OF taxes,
said that collections on delinquent
properties were most encouraging.
At the close of 1929 there was $685.
666,.25 uncollected on a real estate
tax levy of $458, ,5s4, or a l4.55
per cent delinquency.
On September 80, 1885. however,
all except O.93 of / per cent Of the
1929 levy had been collected.
On the 1882 levy of $526, ,206, ,102.
the highest in the city's history, all
but 3.55 per cent has been paid in,
whereas there is only 2.12 per cent
outstanding on the 1881 levy Of s504,-
987 ,9l4, the second largest in the city's
history.
There is 1908 per cent uncollected
OF. the 1884 levy of s472 ,544.111 and
17.07 per cent delinquent on the $234,-
$50, ,039 assessment for the first half
of 1885.
Have Three Years to Pay.
The rise in the percentage Of de-
linquencies, Reid declared, is ac-
counted for by the fact that under
New York law the properties cannot
be sold at tax sales until three years
after the taxes become delinquent.
He cited the year 1880 as an ex-
ample. At the close of that year there
were 1883 per cent of taxes uncol-
lected. At the present time, however,
the 1880 tax delinquency is only 1877
per cent.
Taxpayers are paying up their de-
linquent assessments with rush." he
said, but naturally they are starting
on the assessments that are most
delinquent

BY the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, October
12.-Political speculation, which has
been running high since the departure
Of Nine. Magda Lupescu, friend Of
King Carol. for Paris five days ago

in Rumania's internal affairs.
The newspaper is the organ Of the

been conducting a vigorous campaign
for the Punishment of Nine. Lupescu
and certain advisers Of the govern
ment.
The article, somewhat veiled on ac-
count of severe censorship laws, said:
"The extraordinary event about which
we are not permitted to speak is only
scheduled within short period.
This event. If negotiations now
going on are concluded satisfactorily,
will eliminate present political oppo-
sition and will restore internal peace"

In one day recently one bank made

in this type Of business, are heading
for larger turnover In the small loan

represent money advanced on earning

such as medical emergencies, tuition,

are made in sums running from $50

GERMANY SPURNS
FRENCHOVERTURES
Turns Cold Front on Un-
official Efforts Toward
Rapprochement.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, october 25.-Germany has
presented a cold front to unofficial
French efforts toward a FTanco-Ger-
man rapprochement, informed sources
said today.
New manifestations of Germany's
spirit Of nationalism, fed on the
speeches of Reichsfuehrer Hitler, ac-
companied a report that French
journalist had met failure in trying
to draw out Hitler on questions cur
rent to the continental situation and
the Italo-E Ethiopian war.
Der Fuehrer stated recently at
Nurnberg, I'VE take no position on
these events and do not want to be
drawn into them" He has pictured
Germany as a placid island in a sea
of turmoil.
To Remain Neutral.
The journalist was Cermand de
Brinon, credited with being largely
responsible for Pierre Lavals talks
with former President Hoover on the
war debt situation. De Brinon saw
Hitler last week.
Tacit announcement that Germany
would continue to pursue strict neu-
trality policy was coupled with a fiat
denial by the Office of Joachim Won
Ribbentrop. Germany's ambassador
extraordinary, that he would visit
Paris soon.
A representative of the foreign office
made it clear. at the same time. that
Germany would take its own time in
replying to the League of Nations
communication regarding sanctions
against Italy, If indeed a reply was
made at all.
The League has asked whether Ger
many intends to continue selling goods
to Italy.
No Reason for Haste.
"There is no reason to be hasty,"
said the spokesman.
An official order has gone out to
rectify a disposition on the part of
the inspired German press to be
critical of Italy's prosecution of the
Ethiopian war
Commenting on the reported at
tempt to effect Franco-German rap
prochement, French officials in Paris
said France probably would negotiate
with Germany soon for clariflcation of
the Locarno pact, but that Hitler must
renounce any warlike intent in East
ern Europe before an understanding
between the two countries can be
echieved)
