In the Sir Walter Hotel. By J. C. BASKERVILL Raleigh, Oct. 13. —The Vance county school bus rumpus has now been set tled as far as the State School Com mission is concerned, with the allot ment of an additional school bus to the Towhsville school, in the northern part of the county some 18 miles from Henders&ri and With the allotment of additional funds to make any needed repairs to other school buses, it was learned 1 from the State School Com mission today. It was also pointed out that the additional bus could have been allotted sooner and would have been, had the Vance County superintendent presented the facts to the commission and made any effort to get the extra bus, also that it was the duty of the county superintendent to see that all school buses are in proper condition and that if he need ed an extra allotment for repairs he could also have had it without wait ing for the grand jury to act. There is no doubt that the Towns ville school bus was overcrowded, due to an unexpectedly large enrollment, and that it needed an additional bus, school commission officials here agree. The school has an average daily attendance of about 180 and two buses were not sufficient, even mak ing two trips each. Now two of the buses are supposed to make two trips each and the third bus one trip, so that the average load per trip is now about 30 children, it was pointed out. But if the commission had been ad vised of the large enrollment and the need for an additional bus, it would have allotted it at once, commission officials said today. Nothing was known of this crowded condition un til an article appeared in the morn ing newspaper here in Raleigh tell ing of alleged conditions in the Towns ville school and insisting that more than 70 children were being hauled at one time in a single bu 3. Those here familiar with the school situation in Vance county maintain there has been a lot of politics in this school bus squabble and that the county superintendent in Vance de liberately sought the adverse pub licity concerning overcrowded school buses in an effort to get another bus for the county and to make it appear that the State School Commission rather than himself was to blame for conditions. The understanding here is that the superintendent is very much opposed to the school commis sion. OUR WEATHER MAN FOB NORTH CAROLINA.
