Condition of School Buses
AND LIABILITY FOR ACCIDENTS. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Feb. 17. The statement that very few buses used for the conveyance of school children iu the country would measure up to the Transport Department’s requirements was made by Mr W. L Howyer at a meeting of the Auckland Tiducatiou Board this morning. Borne of tho | buses, he said, were in very bad condition and, in the event of an accident, he understood that the school committee would be held responsible. The chairman (Mr T. U. Wells) said that the new regulations w'ould require the inspection of such vehicles, and it would be the State’s 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 th« matter.
