(Times-Advocate Photo) News of Bluevale Addresses Missionary group Huron.. 'Board investigates bus overloading claim A complaint that school buses operated by the Huron County Board of Education are being overloaded is being investigated by Board of officials, The matter was raised Monday at a board meeting when, Trustee Herbert TurkheinL of Zurich presented a petition from 62 students from the Township of Hay and the. Village of Zurich complaining that Bus No. 4 was unsafe because of overloading. The petition stated that stu- dents have to stand in the aisles of the bus every day creating overcrowded and unsafe condi- tions. There are no racks for books or lunch pails which makes it dangerous in case of a sudden stop. Mr. Turkheirn said that there are about 70 on the bus with a seating capacity for about half that number. He reported the bus picks up the bulk of the pu- pils in Zurich first and then stops at almost every farm on its twel- ve-mile, trip to the South Huron District High School in Exeter, "It means tnese same rural stu- dents are punished every day by having to stand," he said.- "I don't think we should tolerate this situation," Mr. Turkheim added, ' He said he believed that all buses are being overloaded' in that area and, asked that all be investigated. He said the over- crowding resulted from a new contract' started September 4.. R. L. Cunningham, traffic 'ma eager for the.
