La - 4 - the total number of 24.0o urban servants expresses, moves into a more peculiar light, because in the city only a six-hour working time and in most cases simple frequency is introduced. To the work intensity it is very poorly ordered by the municipal staff according to general view. A working time of six hours will probably not be considered by the most serious Marxist union secretary as an adequate daily work performance. It will therefore be necessary to seriously consider how to achieve a decisive reduction in community staff in the near future, so that the staff costs of the city, despite the low wages, do not reach an almost dizzying level in detail. In the case of half-decent pay, it will be possible for each individual to achieve a work performance appropriate to the rich conditions, and thus not insignificantly to relieve the community budget according to the demand for personnel. The retirement of the more than 55-year-old community workers, which is now under way, certainly shows one of the possible ways forward, and it should also be considered whether a number of local employees are not employed in other economic sectors, for example. Industrial enterprises or artisanal enterprises can be transferred, because most of them are located in Prague's municipal services only because they were once taken up by the Czech political parties with other rivals by virtue of the notorious party key. It will have to remain with the fact that in the future Czechs will no longer be able to be hired to the city administration. The retirement, which has just been undertaken, will now also create space for German forces in leading positions. I would just like to mention the most important positions for which we Germans will now have to take care of.The head of the Presidential Chancellery of Central Magistrate Dr.Kremlička went on holiday, 1 of which he will no longer return. The negotiations with Pri- mator Klapka for the replacement first revealed that he had already envisaged two Czechs to do so, while I must insist that this essential body, which is of crucial importance for the monitoring of traffic in the Presidial Chancellery and the surrounding area of Klapca, is occupied with a German. I therefore voted for this 65155
