SCHOOL BUSES
LIABILITY OF COMMITTEES
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
AUCKLAND, This Day,
A statement that very few buses used for the conveyance of school children in the country would measure up to the Transport Department's requirements was made by Mr. W. I. Bowyer at a meeting of the Auckland Education Board this morning. Some of the buses, he said,-were in a very bad condition, and in the event of accident he understood the school committee would be held responsible.
The chairman (Mr. T. U. Wells) said the new regulations would require the inspection of such vehicles, and it would be a State responsibility to see that they were in order. It was decided to seek advice from the Crown Law Office regarding the liability of school committees in the matter. .
