Hobbs told the com mittee '‘‘we’ll take this matter un der consideration." _ County Plans To County Superintendent of Schools G. Paul Carr said yesterday the county will continue to operate its system of school busses next school year “as. we have this year." Carr’s statement came after the Board of Education passed a resolution calling for adoption of "the laws, rules and regulations and the interpretations of said laws, rules and regulations which have been in effect for the State of North Carolina for the past year, 1954-55" The resolution also authorizes Carr to “call upon the Division of Transportation of the State Department of Public Instruction for an interpretation of such laws, rules and regulations in case of dispute." The resolution, said Carr, came after action of the 1955 General Assembly turning over to the eounties control of school bus trans portation r Carr sstid" he “didn’t have anything in'mind in regard to in tegration" when he and the Board drew up the resolution. The resolution, he said, was drafted because the state, in turn- ' ing over control of school bus transportation, also turned over its job of settling disputes and making rulings on transportation mat ters. The Board’s resolution. Carr said, merely declares that Grange County intends to carry out the school bus rules, and regulations formed by the State during its years of c&nTfoI '"The state has" de termined the policy to be f<vllowed and wc intend to follow that • policy, < arr-snid yesterriay Commissioners Add Names To Complaint About Phone Service The Board of County Commiss ioners 4his week approved a peti tion, drawn up by (he Hillsboro Merchants Association, calling for improved telephone service in the town. .
