The borough board discussed various budgets at their meeting last night but took no final action on any of them. Another meeting will be held Friday to approve a budget for the borough.
 Police Chief John Gormley told the board last night that another patrolman was necessary because frequent calls for use of the com- munity ambulance entails taking two patrolmen away from their beats.
 The new patrolman would be able o answer ambulance calls and would | also have complete charge of park ing meters, and would do other work, the chief explained At pres ent there are 16 regulars on the 1 force.
 Street Supt. Harold Murtha sad his budget request asked for two new trucks which are needed, a tractor for use as a sidewalk blow and also for scraping roads in the summer, and two blow attachements for use on trucks in the winter.
 The board voted in favor of flat amounts of $60 per month as pen- sions for John Stevenson, town nall janitor and Edwin Carlson school janitor. Bills for such pen pensions are in the General Assem- ply now. The $6O is half of their average monthly pay for the past ten years, it was said.
 During discussion of Fire Chief John J. Sheridan's request for a new hook and ladder truck, it was revealed that it is impossible to tel how far the truck has gone because It has no Speedometer, but the present truck is 29 years old.
 Some industrial buildings, employ ing hundreds of workers, are among the buildings for which the ladders on the present truck are not higt enough, Chief Sheridan said.
 He recalled that last year he hac requested a small amount be ap. proprlated as start toward a func for the truck, but the board did not include this in the budget.
 One bumper in the fire depart ment is 31 years old, he said, ane Chief Sheridan labeled both this and the hook and ladder truck. as antiquated.
 He pointed out his budget re. quest includes an appropriation fol fog nozzleS for the department These are an essential requirement now, he said, and the department has none at present.
 He also asked that the tank or the new chemical be changed as il hold 100 gallons now. He felt the chemicals should have a 20O-gallor capacity, he said, adding that it has proved necessary at times to cal other equipment because the 100. gallon supply has bene used up al a fire.
 He also asked that the catwall on the new chemical be removed tc permit the machine to carry 400 more feet of hose. At present il carries 1.2O0 feet.
