The board has been in telephonic communication with the contractor and he is to visit Wellington on Friday (February 10) to finalise matters and collect the bus. The Minister has directed that the operation of the bus service is not to injure the Te Ore Ore school by the conveyance of children in the Te Ore Qre school district to Lansdowne. The present Te Ore Ore children who are eligible for conveyance may ride in the bus as far as the Te Ore Ore school, but under no circumstances will they be permitted to ride to Lansdown.”
