although his team lost the world series san francisco giants owner bob <unk> hopes to have a new home for them
he is an <unk> fan of a proposition on next week 's ballot to help build a replacement for candlestick park
small wonder since he 's asking san francisco taxpayers to sink up to $ N million into the new stadium
as san francisco digs out from the pretty big one opponents say the last thing the city can afford is an expensive new stadium
a stadium craze is sweeping the country
it 's fueled by the increasing profitability of <unk> teams
something like one-third of the nation 's N largest cities are thinking about new stadiums ranging from cleveland to san antonio and st. <unk>
most <unk> claim the new sports <unk> will be <unk> for their city
<unk> university economist dean <unk> <unk> at that
he has looked at N baseball and football stadiums and found that only one private <unk> stadium brought more money into a city than it took out
stadiums tend to <unk> existing wealth within a community not create more of it
voters generally agree when they are given a chance to decide if they want to sink their own tax dollars into a new <unk>
san francisco voters rejected a new <unk> two years ago
last month phoenix voters turned <unk> down on a $ N million stadium bond and tax proposition
its backers <unk> every important interest on their team a popular mayor the chamber of commerce the major media and spent $ N on promotion
but voters decided that if the stadium was such a good idea someone would build it himself and rejected it N N to N N
in san francisco its backers concede the <unk> is at best running even in the polls
george christopher the former san francisco mayor who built candlestick park for the giants in the 1960s wo n't <unk> the new <unk>
he says he had candlestick built because the giants claimed they needed N parking <unk>
since the new park will have only N <unk> mr. christopher thinks backers are playing some fiscal games of their own with the voters
stadium <unk> claim that without public money they would never be built
miami <unk> owner joe <unk> <unk> and he can prove it
several years ago he gave up trying to persuade miami to improve its <unk> orange bowl and instead built his own $ N million <unk> with private funds
he did n't see why the taxpayers should help build something he would then use to turn a healthy profit
this stadium shows that anything government can do we can do better mr. <unk> says
but to moon <unk> the former new orleans mayor who helped build that city 's <unk> money-losing <unk> questions of who benefits or the bottom line are of little <unk>
the <unk> is an exercise in optimism a statement of faith he has said
it is the very building of it that is important not how much of it is used or its economics
an egyptian <unk> could n't have justified his <unk> any better
but <unk> has moved forward since then
today taxpayers get to vote most of the time on whether they want to finance the building schemes of our modern political <unk> or let private money <unk> these <unk> for public <unk>

wall street 's big securities firms face the prospect of having their credit ratings lowered
the reason risks from the firms ' new merchant banking activities are rising as revenue from the industry 's traditional business <unk>
the downgrading of debt issued by cs first boston inc. parent of first boston corp. by moody 's investors service inc. coupled with a moody 's announcement that shearson lehman hutton holdings inc. is under review for a possible downgrade sent <unk> through the brokerage community this week
with the <unk> came the <unk> that some of wall street 's biggest players are struggling to maintain the <unk> credit standing required to finance their activities profitably
securities firms are among the biggest issuers of commercial paper or short-term corporate <unk> which they sell to finance their daily operations
the biggest firms still retain the highest ratings on their commercial paper
but moody 's warned that shearson 's commercial paper rating could be lowered soon a move that would reduce shearson 's profit margins on its borrowings and signal trouble ahead for other firms
shearson is <unk> by american express co
just as the 1980s bull market transformed the u.s. securities business so too will the more difficult environment of the 1990s says christopher t. <unk> a moody 's vice president
a sweeping restructuring of the industry is possible
standard & poor 's corp. says first boston shearson and drexel burnham lambert inc. in particular are likely to have difficulty <unk> up their credit standing in months ahead
what worries <unk> concerns the most is that wall street firms are taking long-term risks with their own capital via leveraged buy-out and junk bond financings
that 's a departure from their traditional practice of <unk> almost all financing risks to investors
<unk> conventional securities financings are structured to be sold quickly wall street 's new <unk> for leveraged buy-outs and junk bonds is resulting in long-term lending commitments that stretch out for months or years
the recent disarray in the junk bond market suggests that brokers may become longer-term creditors than they anticipated and may face long delays in getting their money back says jeffrey <unk> a vice president at s&p which raised a warning flag for the industry in april when it downgraded cs first boston
wall street is facing a <unk> situation says mr. <unk> of moody 's
merchant banking where firms commit their own money is getting riskier and there 's less of it to go around
in addition he says the buy-out business is under pressure because of the junk bond collapse meaning that returns are likely to decline as the volume of junk-bond financings <unk>
in a leveraged buy-out a small group of investors acquires a company in a transaction financed largely by borrowing with the expectation that the debt will be paid with funds generated by the acquired company 's operations or sales of its assets
in a recent report moody 's said it expects intense competition to occur through the rest of the century in the securities industry which combined with overcapacity will create poor prospects for profitability
it said that the temptation for <unk> to ease this profit pressure by taking greater risks is an additional rating factor
