Already several counties have or
ganized these committees and have
reported excellent results. In one
county several Implications were
found and eliminated, resulting IN
considerable savings to the district,
county, and state. With maps to be
furnished by each county showing
all bus routes, it is expected that the
next year will reveal all Implications
and inefficiency in our transporta-
ton setup, and proper cooperation
by district, county and state officials
may see saving of many thousands
of dollars.

schools the state reimburse for Is of
balance of the budget. The law still
reads that school trustees may fur
nish transportation, but if they fur
nish transportation to some in the
district they must furnish it to all.
| This transportation may take the
form of furnishing bus facilities, in
dividual aid to those who get them
selves to school, board and room re-
Endorsements, and correspondence
courses. The state and county will
reimburse for bus transportation to
the district on the basis of bus miles
traveled-for buses with a passen-
ger rating of 80 or less at zoe per
bus mile, with an additional 7ac per
bus mile for each passenger over 30.
Individual transportation is reim- |
bursed at rates stipulated in a sched-
ule according to the number of miles
the pupils have to go. For exam
pie, pupils living over 3 but less
than miles from school would be
eligible to reimbursements of SOC per
day, with each additional child in the
same family to receive 12c each up
to a maximum of 66c to the same
family.

county and state superintendent to

pTOUIolIlS Qu0 W CucSS CWO ldC-
tors are many and among them
is the transportation of its
boys and girls to schools. From
a practical standpoint it is impossi-
BILE, except in certain cities and
towns, to so place the various schools
that each pupil will be within walk
ing distance.
Montana has had a policy of pay
ing transportation reimbursements
for over 40 years to those pupils
living farther than certain distance
from school. This reimbursement
which has been paid by the district,
county and stae, has grown into one
of the larger items of the budget.
In the school year 1947-48 the total
cost of transportation, excluding the
cost of BUSES, was S1,711.635, with
the state paying S384,151 of the
total. For the coming year it is
estimated that the total will go over
two million dollars and the state pay
ing around 100000 of it. Of the
97,455 pupils enrolled in our public
schools in 1947-48, we find that 49,
804 were carried in buses and 6,647
were given individual reimbursement, I
either for board and room in town
or for getting themselves to school.
The number of miles travelled dur
ing the year, to and from school,
amounted to 3,797.640.
Three hundred and thirty three
schools used 564 school buses, either
or contracted BUSES.
Four hundred and eight were of the
latter type, and 156 school-owned.
The average cost per year per pupil
for the school-owned BUSES was
S74.07, contract buses, SOFIA, and
common carriers, $94.94.
The tendency for farmers and
ranchers in Montana has been to t
holdings. When this is {
done, fewer families reside in GER Y
tain areas and consequently we have s
many areas where only one or two
children live. Rather than operate t
4 school, the trustees find it more (
economical and educationally more q
desirable to transport the pupils to d
mother school in another district. S
The same is true when we find a t
district that formerly could support S
school with the normal levy of e
axes, suddenly faced with mounting h
osts of such degree that it had to @
evy exorbitant taxes in order to il
un school. We find that several S
,11ndred of thaca districts haUan IN :,
transport their youngsters to another v
chool in another district. Thus we il
ind that instead of some 2131 dis
riots which Montana had 16 years n
go, we now have less than 1900, e
With over 300 not operating schools b
ut transporting their pupils to other c
istricts. t
All the above has encouraged r
transportation, along with the fact s
hat parents feel their children can Il
ecure a better education where a
here are more pupils and where ia tt
ilities are greater. il
Transportation in Montana may G.

ASKED 10 Review Will

case involving a disputed will was
presented to the United States
Fourth Circuit Court Of Appeals

Louis B. Dickson asked that the
Federal Court in Alexandria be
reversed on its dismissal Of her
complaint against the Alexandria
Hospital, Inc. and the First Ma
tional Bank of Alexandria as exc
cutor Of the estate Of Virginia
Simpson.
Mrs. Dickson, widow of one Of
Mrs. Simpsons sons, had sought
to recover a share Of an estate
which she claimed had passed to
her husband after Mrs. Simpsons
death.
The estate. set up by George l..
Simpson. was passed by his will to
his widow and two sons. Legaeies
of $4,000 each were bequeathed
to the sons. Mrs. Dickson, alleged
that her husband had permitted
his mother to retain his legacy
for her use during her lifetime.
After the death Of the mother,
Mrs. Dickson contended, the
legacy reverted to her under her
husbands will
But attorneys for the bank and
the hospital. beneficiary under
Mrs. Simpsons will. argued the
trial court properly had dismissed
the suit. They contended that

the residue of the estate and was
