Energy law may restrict home loans in 1982 era

Local inspectors would issue certificates as utilities push weatherizing and loan programs.
Transit district to raise fares cut routes and staff
The Southern California Rapid Transit District plans at least a five cent fare increase per bus ride and 500 layoffs. Six lines will be eliminated and some night and weekend service will be reduced. Despite larger budget than income, the district will use 4.6 million in federal subsidies for 1977-78, keeping a shortfall to about 45.5 million. The extra funding would likely halt further service cuts.
