added loaning money using jew-
elry as collateral to its list of ser-
vices. It also sells and purchases
jewelry.
It took 15 years for the compa-
ny to receive a pawn license from
Bingham Farms so it could loan
money. The two parties reached
agreement in an out-of-court set-
tlement after the company filed a
lawsuit against the city.

World Bank Offer
To Aid Gaza, Jericho
Washington (JTA) — As Israel
and the Palestinians prepared to
sign the agreement establishing
self-rule in the Gaza Strip and
Jericho, the World Bank this
week announced a program to
send $1.2 billion in emergency
economic assistance for the new
autonomous region.
The money, to be distributed
over a three-year period expect-
ed to begin soon, is part of $2.1
billion pledged over a five-year
period by international donors at
a State Department conference
last October.
The conference's goal — sup-
ported by both the United States
and Israel — was to improve con-
ditions for Palestinians in the ter-
ritories in such areas as
transportation, water supply,
power and telecommunications.
"If the peace process has any
hope of success, the Palestinians
need to see improvements in their
living conditions very quickly,"
Caio Koch-Weser, the World
Banks vice president for the Mid-
dle East and North Africa region,
said in a statement.
"The international communi-
ty is betting that this program
can jump-start the Palestinian
economy over the next three
years. We are optimistic because
the Palestinians are enterprising
and well-trained," Mr. Koch-
Weser said.
The World Bank released a 49-
page report called "Emergency
Assistance, Program for the Oc-
cupied Territories," outlining the
plan. The report was prepared by
World Bank staffers and Pales-
tinian economists. Israel also par-
ticipated in the drafting.
The funds will be distributed
initially through a variety of
groups.
