New York City Mayor warns of vast layoffs and service cuts
Mayor John V Lindsay told the New York Legislature he would fire 90,000 of the city's 400,000 workers if state aid is not restored and his 380 million city tax program funded. He warned closures of 18 municipal hospitals, 10 welfare centers, 60 senior centers, 25 antiaddiction facilities, canceled programs, and major service reductions across libraries, maintenance, and culture. The cuts reflect a 1 billion projected deficit for 1971-72 and a 150 million shortfall in the current year.
