he ironed out.
Costs Increased
Mr.. Mai inquired about bus trans
portation costs. Mr.. Chitte nden said
there are 359 children of all ages
being transported and there are
three contracts. George Clark
transports New Haven road children
for $40 daily; the Connecticut Rail-
way and Lighting company bus
transports Millville children for
$11.20 day and Mr.. lie Clair trans
ports East Waterbury road, Pond
Hill and Cotton Hollow children for
$24.40 a day.
He said the transportation costs
have risen $3.50 per day since last
year.
When Mr.. Kelly said he hadn't
heard of any accidents in private
cars in the Pond Hill district, Mr..
Hoadley said he could cite num-
Der and did mention a few. He said
it is difficult for two private cars to
pass on some roads. He said the
snow pillow was stuck near his home
last year and had ben stuck before
also.
Mr.. Mai asked Mr. Mannweiler if
he would again put before the board
the question of resembling the vote
which closed the schools. Then most
board members expressed themselves
and it was apparent that a vote
would show the board opposed to
resembling the previous action.
Mr.. Chittenden said parents of chill
dren in Groveside school differ
from the protesting groups being
very eager to have their children at
tend the more central schools. Mr.
Hoadley said the roads are level
there and there are not much bus
hazards.
Gr0veside Next?
When a woman asked why, If
Millville and Pond Hill schools were
closed because of the Capitalization
trend, Groveside school was not, Mr.
Chittenden indicated this may be the
next step in the Capitalization plan.
There were few members of the
Millville group present who favored
the closing of the Millville school.
Mrs. Baranauskas of Millville said
her children would have to walk a
mile and half to meet the bus and
they are five years old. She sent
them to the Bradleyville school for
month but now has been informed
they could not attend there any
longer and asked what she would do.
Mr.. Chittenden sal dhe is investigat-
ing the case.
Mr. Mannweiler said the depart
ment will try to adjust anything
needing correction and asked Co
operation from parents of the closed
districts.
