- Rx FOR URBAN ILLS
-
- Financially strapped cities can expect a dose of comfort this
- summer. Congress approved a $1.1 billion urban-aid bill
- initially developed as an emergency appropriation package after
- the Los Angeles riots. Much of the funding will go to two
- agencies that provided disaster relief in L.A., but $500 million
- has been set aside for 360,000 summer jobs for youths in 75
- cities. An additional urban-assistance program is likely to
- follow.
