fined route.

corporation to pay all damages
which may result from any and
all accidents due to negligent use
or operation of such vehicle"

this section provide that various
methods may be used to. guaran-
tee financial liability. Security,
indemnity, or bond may be filed,
or a written statement on a form
prescribed, may be demanded by
the authorities at such intervals
as they deem advisable.
No operator of a public vehicle

surance to guarantee his liability
! for accidents for a period of less
than IL months, the commission
specifies. Failure to meet all the
provisions of the act means revo-
cation of permits to operate.
