    We consider LP's of the form max\(\{\) cx\(| \ell \leq Ax\leq b\), \(L\leq x\leq U\}\) where l,b,L,U are nonnegative and A is a 0-1 matrix which looks like ''Manhattan Skyline'', i.e. the support of each row is contained in the support of every subsequent row. An O(nm\(+n \log n)\) algorithm is presented for solving the problem.
