  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.

  • The History That Preceded Historical Gaming: How Parimutuel Wagering
    The History that Preceded Historical Gaming: How Parimutuel Wagering Won its Place in America, as Typified by Kentucky Alex Gardner Much focus lately has been given to the emergence of sports gambling nationally and the changing landscape surrounding the regulation of gambling, specifically bookmaking. This focus usually doesn’t include parimutuel gambling. This paper traces the legal history of parimutuel wagering on horse racing since its creation in the nineteenth century to the new issues surrounding parimutuel wagering today. Parimutuel wagering on horse racing has faced a variety of legal challenges as it has spread across the world but has generally prevailed, solidifying itself as an accepted form of gambling. The legal challenges to parimutuel wagering on horse racing seem to follow a similar pattern of treatment by the governments in the jurisdictions where it is introduced. The treatment of parimutuel wagering on horse racing by Kentucky’s government exemplifies this historical pattern and provides insight into the future of parimutuel wagering on horse racing nationally as new forms of parimutuel wagering are introduced, namely historical horse racing. Informing this paper are historical newspaper articles as well as current ones, legal briefs, court decisions, and academic studies. Kentucky’s embrace of parimutuel wagering on horse racing in the early twentieth century led to a resurgence nationally and Kentucky is again leading the way in spreading parimutuel wagering across the country through historical horse racing. Few events can compete with the thrill of the Kentucky Derby. The parade of the horses and the trumpeter blaring a call to the post amplify the excitement for the hordes of spectators.

  • Engineering Paradise the History of the Jerome Park Reservoir
    ENGINEERING PARADISE – THE HISTORY OF THE JEROME PARK RESERVOIR COMMUNITY The community that developed on the ridge around the Jerome Park Reservoir and Van Cortlandt Park should be thankful for the early pioneers who found a grand vision on the land we call home. Looking at an old map, one could only imagine what it looked like, how the landscaped developed, and other things for the interested mind. In what could only be describe as the growth of the conservationist environmentalist era, two men, John B. Jervis (1775-1885) and Frederick L. Olmstead (1822-1903), had a great influence on development in the country, state, and city. For our area, their foresight and talent had no bounds. But it took fifty years of planning and building. Surveying streets cut out of the same topography with curves instead of straight lines (1876). Building railroads to go north by the “country” (1880). Connecting parks for the enjoyment of the new settlers (1884), and by discovering that the land at Van Cortlandt Estate was much more beautiful and natural than Central Park (1888). When there was not enough water for the thirsty city, by adding the New Croton Aqueduct to the Old Croton Aqueduct system to enable growth (1890). By opening the first municipal golf course for recreation in Van Cortlandt Park (1895). Importantly, knowing to choose the site of the old Jerome Park Race Track as the site for a reservoir because it was on the high ridge, on an area with soft ground for ease in digging, and topographically configured to enable gravity to continue to bring water to a thirsty city (1906).

    A Streamlined Regulatory Structure for Québec's Financial Sector Report of the Task Force on Financial Sector Regulation December 2001 A Streamlined Regulatory Structure for Québec’s Financial Sector ISBN 2-550-38533-0 Legal Deposit Bibliothèque nationale du Québec Publication: December 2001 Montréal, December 2001 Ms. Pauline Marois Deputy Premier and Minister of State for the Economy and Finance Ministère des Finances 12, rue Saint-Louis, 1er étage Québec (Québec) G1R 5L3 Madam, We are pleased to submit the report of the Task Force on Financial Sector Regulation, entitled “A Streamlined Regulatory Structure for Québec’s Financial Sector”. This report is more than the product of our deliberations; it represents the efforts and contributions of interested people, industry stakeholders in particular, to fulfil the mandate you gave us last May 2. This mandate is particularly opportune in view of the disintermediation, decompartmentalization and inter-sectoral convergence in Québec’s financial sector. Our proposal to create a single regulatory body, namely the Agence d’encadrement du secteur financier du Québec, satisfies, in our view, the clear need for simplicity and efficiency of a constantly changing financial sector. The recommendations in this report should make it possible to effect tangible improvement in the regulatory structure of Québec’s financial sector. … 2 Ms. Pauline Marois - 2 - We thank you for your confidence in us and remain Yours truly, Claude Béland Pierre Carrier Yvon Charest Pierre Comtois Pierre Laurin Dominique Vachon Yvon Martineau, Chairman FOREWORD The Task Force on Financial Sector Regulation, constituted by order-in- council on May 2, 2001, was instructed to analyze the regulatory structure of Québec’s financial sector and recommend measures to the Minister of State for the Economy and Finance regarding regulatory bodies and the improvement of this structure.
