Walter submitted recommendations for disposition of old school buses. They suggested that one bus be junked and utilized for spare parts. Also that two buses tagged for replacement by two units be placed in standby status. Harris, acting as spokesman, further recommended that two buses be purchased for the Yos and Park Valley areas.
