WYOMING -- The Wyoming Borough Council on Wednesday passed a proposed 1994
budget that holds the line on taxes but increases garbage fees. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The spending plan totaling $572,971 is lower than that of 1993, which was
$768,337. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "We have a bare-bone budget with no tax increase, but it does call for some
cut backs," said Council Chairman Martin Stahley. Stahley blames the economy
for the loss of revenue in the borough that is forcing the tight budget. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The cutbacks include reducing the police force from five officers to four
and cutting back the hours of the dispatcher from 40 to 20 hours per week. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The last man hired will be let go, Stahley said, which means officer Frank
Buckler, who earned a salary of $16,800, will lose his job. Stahley said
Buckler may be offered part-time work. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Stahley said the borough will have adequate police coverage despite the
cutback. He said the state Department of Community Affairs recommends one
police officer per 2,000 residents. He said Wyoming has one officer per 820
residents. The extra police officer was hired when the borough had excess
funds, he said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "When we started working on a budget, we all agreed not to raise taxes, but
also not to cut services," Stahley said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 As of Jan. 1, the price of garbage stickers will increase from $75 to $90
annually for two bags and from $150 to $180 annually for four bags. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Stahley said the garbage fee hike is due to increased fees for in disposing
of recyclables.
