Belief was expressed by Act- ing City Manager Edwin Trevor today that with all city em- Ployees' working five more hours a week the city would not be required to hire any new workers and in fact might very well mean the saving of a sub- stantial sum for the muicipality. “In my book the working week should be at least 38 hours”, said Manager Trevor as he was going over the list of city employees and the schedule of monthly and weekly salaries paid them. “There is no reason why city. workers should work 33 hours a week, when the fed- eral government works them a full 40 hours. “I have asked the city attorn- ey to draw up an ordinance re- quiring 38 hours of work.
