Transportation Committee Association Airs Proposals of ( ) One of the more important committee meetings held dur Oregon Association 01 Coun ty School Superintendents in Salem was that of the associa tion's transportation commit tee of which Bruce Hitt, as sistant superintendent of Jack son county schools, is chair man. The committee considered rough drafts of bills it will recommend to the state legis lature's interim committee on education, Hitt said. These are aimed at making traffic laws involving school buses more practical, and alle viating the costs of operating and maintaining school buses by the various school districts in the state.

Box 846, Medford, Oregon Telephone SP 2-6151 Copies of Health Code Available Copies of the health code for farm labor camps are now available for public distribu tion at the .Tackson county public health office, Sanitari an Orie Moore has announced. The health code is included in Oregon's new farm labor law. It was adopted recently by the state board of health following public hearings which established minimum standards for sanitary facili ties in farm labor camps and fields. It will be administered jointly by the state and local health offices, state employ ment service and the state bu reau of labor, Moore ex plained. The health code includes regulations for camp areas, water supplies, sanitation fa cilities, kitchen facilities, sleeping qiirters, and other aspects of the farm labor sites. Facilities found in violation of the health code may be closed 24 hours after the health department posts a no tice giving reasons for closing it. After the condition is cor rected, it may be reopened with approval of the health officer. Farm labor camp operators may appeal a closing to cir cuit court within 30 days after the closing order is confirmed. However, the order continues while the caj is being ap pealed, unless the court or ders it suspended or rescinded. The human eye can receive an image 10 times a second, or 36,000 times an hour.

The law now provides that any Incorporat ed city or town may secure fuel used in any vehicles own ed and operated by the city or town. The proposed law merely adds school districts The committee also recom mends a proposal to change the apportionment of transpor tation aid to school districts Basis of Allotment The law now allows appor tionment of transportation aid money to school districts on a 2-cent-per-pupil-mile basis or on a 60 per cent of the net operation costs basis. The new proposal would require all ditsricts be paid a flat grant of 60 per cent of the approved net cost of transportation The committee said if this formula is established, it would lower the amount of pupil transportation aid now paid most of the largest and most efficient school transpor tation systems. Funds saved would be used to bring the pupil transporta tion aid of the rest of the transporting districts up to 50 per cent, Hitt said. This would not require any addi tional funds for pupil trans portation aid, it was ex plained. One required change would be that the annual cost in transportation aid would in crease about $675,000. The state department of education would have to establish a uni form method of cost account ing and reporting. The committee believes that school districts should keep accurate transportation costs whether they receive trans portation aid or not. The de partment of education would have to define approved costs, and make necessary regula tions to insure accuracy and consistency i.i reporting. Only two cost accounting forms would be used, thus eliminat ing some of the paper work. Allocation Won't Change Now 196 school districts re ceive 60 per cent of the cost Their allocation would not change. However, 262 districts would have their pupil trans portation aid raised bU per cent. Most of these are second and third class districts Another proposal to make school bus transportation more economical Is that of establishing stale purchasing of transportation equipment lor school districts. This bill would permit school districts to purchase only school buses and other material, equipment and sup plies in quantity through the state department of finance and administration. Another bill would permit school districts to purchase only school buses through the department. This would in clude buses, fuel oil, gas, and bus tires and any other items and materials, equipment or supplies which the depart ment, at its discretion, adds SPRING CLEAN-UP SALE!

"States operating such a state purchase plan report sav ings up to 45 per cent," accord ing to Hitt. Arguments which may be used against state purchasing would be: (1) Local truck dealers and are not able to buy equipment they deem best. (3) Imposition of controls by the state creates problems in local districts. In some cases, school budgets and bond issues have been turned down because of this issue. Committee members feel this plan is important since bus purchases have grown from 1955 when 179 buses were purchased by state dist ricts at an approximate cost not Ilk tta' control.
