Transit Plan for
Pupils Proposed
A working agreement between
the Salem school district and
City Transit Lines in connection
with the transportation of pupils
has been suggested by a resident
whose identity was not divulged
at Tuesday night's session of the
school board.
Director Harry Scott reported
the matter to the board, saying
the individual thought there was
a possibility that something
could be worked out to the ad
vantage of both systems.
"The traction company buses
often run empty while the dis
trict is considering the purchase
of additional school buses," the
resident pointed out. A confer
ence will be asked to consider
the matter.
Another taxpayer, noting the
district's need for additional
buses suggested that the young
sters should depend more on
their legs and not so much upon
free transportation.
