R. W. Groo, to W. D. Hammond, chairman of the road commission. The report shows that there are still 89 buses operating with defective foot brakes, 27 with defective emergency brakes, 18 with faulty exhaust pipes, 17 with condemned exhaust pipe heating systerns, 12 with fault,' headlights, 14 with faulty rear ligl!ts, and 16 with no clearance liJhts. It is inexcusable that no greater progress has been JDade by school authorities in making school buses safer for cmildren to ride in and safe for use on the highways. The school authorit\es were notified of the defects of buses in their respective districts at the time previous inspections were made.
