Fuchs, the Hospitals Department's superintendent of, motor equipment. The one finally obtained came from Rockaway Beach Hospital, about nine miles from the emergency call in central Queens, Fuehs said.

The Board of Estimate passed over the item at its meeting Thursday. The delay in obtaining funds to hire drivers, attendants and other personnel is not, however, hitting the ambulance for psychiatric patients.
