2 Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., School System Bus Proposed Albany Provision has been made by the Linn county non high school district budget com mittee for the establishment ot a school bus system to accom modate high school pupils throughout the county who live outside the high school district, County School Superintendent J. M. Bennett announces. To finance the program the budget board appropriated $21, 000, which, however, is offset for the most part by a reduction of $10,000 in estimated tuition costs and addition of $10,000 to estimated receipts from the basic school support fund. Superintendent Bennett said that the non-high school board will probably be able to con tract with existing school bus operators for transportation throughout most of the county but that it will probably be necessary to install three new buses to serve the Albany terri tory and one to transport stu dents from the Orleans district into Corvallis inasmuch as no existing school bus routes cover those areas. The budget provides $60,000 for tuition and otal expenditures og $83,245 including transporta tion. Estimated receipts are $10,339.60 leaving $72,905.40 to be levied. This levy is but $431.12 above the 1946-47 estimate but ap- Droximately $4,000 above the actual expenditures, the super intendent said. It is $44.78 un der the amount permissible un der the state 6 per cent limita tion law. The budget hearing was set for Saturday, May 17, at 10 a. m., at the court house.

Dar rar as administrator of the estate of Walter C. Darrar against the Western Heavy Hauling company on October 3, 1946, resulted in the agreement between the defendant and the plaintiff to non-suit the plain tiff without prejudice in Polk county circuit court with Judge Arlie G. Walker presiding. The suit was an outgrowth of an auto-truck collision at Hick- reall on March 5, 1946, when four persons in the car, includ ing Walter Darrar, were fatally injured. After attorneys had exhausted a jury panel choosing a jury and additional persons were called from the body of the county, two witnesses were heard for the plaintiff, Fred El liott of Rickreall, a witness to the accident, and Lorctta Spanke who testified that the truck passed her on the highway at a fast rale of speed prior lo the accident. The plaintiff's complaint al leged that the truck, driven by George Keller, and owned by S. LeRoy Blakkolb, was travel ing at an excessive rate of speed and that it was not properly under control when it entered the intersection. The defense in answer to the complaint stat ed that Kenneth R. Jackson, driver of the auto and son-in- law of Darrar, failed to stop at the red light and stop sign as he approached the intersec tion from the east. An out of court settlement of over $3000 to the plaintiff was reliably reported to have been agreed upon to end the suit. At torneys for the plaintiff were Cake, Jaurcguy and Tooze of Portland and Bruce Spaulding of Salem represented the de fense.
