TMH Administrator H. R. Wil-lers had previously said he planned to use half of the $36,000 to give all personnel a flat five per cent increase and use the other half for merit and length of service pay raises. There has been no general pay raise at the hospital in more than three years.

Other requests by the nurses not involving pay include a 40-hour- work week for orderlies, changes in the sick leave system, and other policy matters. The nursing group, at a mass meeting, had asked for a much more substantial raise than will be possible with the $36,000. They had asked for an approximate $20 a month increase to be retroactive to April 1, 1951. TMH board members agreed at an earlier meeting to not consider that request and recommended to the City Commission only that the $36,000 be included for pay raises.
