Court blocks grants to towns that ignore poor
In a decisinrm that could ha%e far-reach-
ing e:lffects on stow federal iunlmunity
development biewl grants wnwv are
spent, a federal judve last %%eek en-
jo ned the Department of Housing and
Urban Development ( HUD) from gising
4.5 miLian to seveni of Hartford,
Conn.'s rehni.e ly allluent mrburbs.
In the twit brought by Hartford, the
city plea led th it the money was
needed ror housing the poor w have
crowded into the city rather than for
roads. sewers. parts ani other impmve-
meots in :hr suburbs. Hartford wn-
tends that W. of the luxes in the region
crowded into Hartfrrd bemuse there is
no piace else to live.
Under thr S2 -billion -a -%ear t'nu;
jlrogrun (ENR 1/6 p: 15). Lianford has
been awarded Stn million. by HUD. The
city brought shit to lore --e the suburbs to
spend the money they received on lox-
cust housing and take :some of the bur-
den away from the cite.. Flt•D is dealing
with about 3,(100 applications similar to
time from Hartford and its suburbs.
District court judge M. Joseph Blu-
1triefeld held that HUD exceeded its au-
thority by informing towns applying
for COW that they need not. make pro-
je .tion of how many low-income resi-
dents they expected to move into their
communities, in spite of the legal re-
quirentent that these projections be
made. Hun waived the requirement last
May because the information the towns
needed was difficult to get.
But judge Blumenfeld wrote: "The
statute clearly has, as one of its objec-
tives,. bjettives,. the spatial deconcentration of
lower-incorrt groups, particularly from
the central cities," He said the subur-
ban towns could apple for funds again
and include the infor;%ation the .law re-
quired about the number of poor per-
sons who might be expecW to more in.
Action at HUD. Even before the Hart-
ford decision came down, hovwestr,
HUD had moved u; acquire more infor-
mation in the housing assistance plans
accompanying community applications
for CDRM
It proposed amended regulations re-
quiring all applicants to:
Identify housing units suitable for
rehabilitation, if rehab is part of their
planned use of block grant money.
Count, not just estimate, the: num-
btr of tow -income families who work
but do not live in the comm -pity, and:
the number of new jobs expected to 6
created of anyt as part of the cnmmu-
nit' ,,n)%Vth, thus increasing the need
for housing. t'1 hi., was one of the key is-
sues in the Hartford suit.)
Submit a three -}•ear housing aytiist-
ance goal, which has rot been man -
dater in all caws up to nm%.
Deadline for comment on these re_u-
Utions was last Friday and HID rnav
make them elferti%e--hortly.
It D ba -v been under pressure on the
itis:!e of acrepti.ng i: -.adequate hou+:ne

a report on its monitoring of hotrging
assistance plans ;n Atlanta, Btatun,
Chicaeo, Cleveland, Detroit, Save Fran.
cisco- I dartford and Washington. D.C.
Among its conclusions, the institute
found that tit to officials -were ignoring
regional per"vtives of housing
needti' through metropolitan area
housing dispersal plans. t+hich is the
central issue in the Hartford case. The
institute said that HuWs regulations

Energy independence goals elude U.S.
The Pealeral Energy Administration
fEn) is preparing an update of its Proj-
ect Independence report that indicates
that it is becoming increasingly difficult
for the U.S. ever to achieve energy in-
dependence. The document, which is
still subject to change, shoves that cur-
rent oil imports of 6 trillion bbl per day
could drop to 3.8 million bbl by 1983,
but that they could not reach zero im-
ports.
Recent changes in oil depletion tax
allowances and revisions of oil resource
estimates by the U.S; Geological Survey
are the main reasons for the changes.
Last year FFA predicted the U.S. could
boost its oil production front 9 million
to 13.1 millior bbl by 1985 if current
policy doesn't change. Now the agency
concludes that only 12.9 million bbl per
day will be produced in 1985.
Even that toed assumes an aggressive
development e0ort. Drilling and leas-
ing of new oil lands must double; and
capital investment must grow by &YC
per year. `•it's a tail order," says FFA
deputy assistant administrator Bruce
PasternacL
Natural gas production is also fore-
cast to drop off sharply—from 18 tril-
lion cu ft per day currently to 6.47 tril-
lion co ft --undue interstate prices are
allowed to rise. FF_% calculates that a
price of S=:110 per thousand cu ft,
roughly five times currert levels, would
be necessary to sustain current produc-
t;on levels
Recent cancellations and deferrals of
nuclear powerplants led to a drop-%iff in
estimated capacity by 1985 Last. year
FF.% called for 200.000 %iw in til yearn
Now the revised report predicts 141,000
Mw will be installed by 1985. Electrical
demand growth, historically at .% 7c,
per year rate, will average 5.7 K over the
next 10 •ears.
Coal production, which Adminis-
tration officials had hoped would
double by 1985. should increase from
the current 631) million tons per year to
1,040 million tons by 1985, FEA pre-
dicts. In addition, the report concludes,
coal prices should remain relatively
stable over the next decade.
illi still predicts that the nation will
have to shoulder major expenses to
Jeep its energy deficit from worsening.
Oil and gas expenditures must top S250
billion, zoaldevelopment will cost S18
billion., synthetic fuel commercializa-
tion will cost 516 billion and electric
utilities will spend 5238 billion for new
plants. Additional expenses bring the
estimated capital requirements for
energy through 1984 to S538 trillion.
Accelerated supply schemes could boost
the bill to 5340 billion to 5569 billion,
the report says.
