The conference committee deleted the provis ion, however. When the appropriations bill came up for final House consid eration, Taylor asked why the school bus provision was delet ed. Rep. R. J. Aycock, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee and conference com mittee member said the State Educational Finance Commis sion, operator of the school bus system, said the state could not afford to allow buses to stop so freely as Taylor wanted. Taylor told a newsman, after the bill had passed, that it was immaterial to him whether the Two of his bills in this relation are still before the Education and Public Works committee with litUe chance they will get out at this Uth hour of the State Legislature.
