(1 Jul 1971) RR7122B NEW YORK: MAYOR LINDSAY'S BUDGET
Early in 1971, New York Mayor, John Lindsay had his request for a 9,000 million-dollar budget for the city rejected by the New York State Government in Albany. 90,000 municipal employees - a quarter of the entire city work force - stand to lose their jobs. Nowhere are the social problems of New York more acute than in Brownsville, a slum area of East Brooklyn where 130,000 blacks and Puerto Ricans live in appalling conditions of poverty and urban decay.
