Fiscal fitness.
The best thing about Plantation Oaks isn’t the
$10/month membership to Aerofit. Or the on-site
facilities like jacuzzi, two pools, men’s and
women’s weight rooms (each with a sauna), tennis
courts, basketball and volleyball courts. The best
thing about Plantation Oaks is that you get all this
and more for as little as $170 a month this
summer. That’s fiscal fitness.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Emer
gency action by federal regulators to
stabilize two big banking companies
hit by deposit runs is sure to revive
Analysis
charges of a double standard for
dealing with ailing financial institu
tions.
While small banks are closing at a
rate unseen since the Great Depres
sion, the government, in effect, has
declared large banks too big to fail,
the critics say.
The best known example of the
“Too-Big-To-Fail Syndrome” is
Continental Illinois Corp., which in
1984 required $4.5 billion in the
largest-ever government bailout.
The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp., the agency that insures de
posits in commercial banks, hopes to
recover all but $1.7 billion of that by
selling its stake in Continental. But
nearly four years after the bailout,
the FDIC is still the major stock
holder in the bank.
Two government moves last week
to prop up other large institutions
are renewing concerns.
The FDIC on Thursday pumped
$1 billion into First RepublicBank
Corp. of Dallas, the nation’s 13th
largest commercial bank holding
company, which has lost nearly $2
billion in 1988. The agency also
promised to protect all depositors
and general creditors of the compa
ny’s 73 subsidiary banks.
The Federal Home Loan Bank
Board, which regulates savings insti
tutions, made a similar pledge Fri
day regarding the $33.7 billion Fi
nancial Corp. of America, owner of
the Stockton, Calif.-based American
Savings & Loan Association.
The second largest thrift holding
company in the country, FCA lost
$493 million in deposits in January
and February. Its request for $1.5
billion in assistance is under review.
The promises made by the FDIC
and bank board go beyond the agen
cies’ normal practice. Usually, de
posit accounts are protected only to
$100,000, and creditors are not pro
tected at all.
When smaller banks fail, as 184
did last year, the FDIC pays off de
positors up to the insurance limit or
arranges for the accounts to be
transferred to a solvent institution.
Big banks, with their extensive ties
to other banks, present a more com-
C licated problem. The failure of a
irge institution could cause a chain
reaction of insolvencies at smaller
banks and end up costing the FDIC
more than the amount needed to
keep the big bank operating.
But that logic doesn’t make it any
easier for executives who watch their
small banks go under while their col
leagues at large institutions stay in
business.
