Decatur Transit Offers Buses. School Board Declines
Decatur Transit President W. J. Williams offered several buses to the school system. School Superintendent Curtis Sellers said the board cannot financially or personnel wise establish a transportation system. Mayor Gunthorp urged the firm to take full safety responsibility for transporting students and the public, as part of Williams' transportation complex. A decision is expected this week as the district ends bus service and passenger rates rise five cents on January 1.
