AGENDA ATTACHMENT V CONTINUED 1956 CHEVROLET BUs PRESENT CONDITION: This vehicle has passed the standard N. C. safety inspection tests within the last ninety days. Head lights, tail lights, brakes, windshield wipers, and tires w re all found to be in good condition. Its power train is completely sound and a new clutch and engine have recently been installed. The bus has been repainted both inside and out. Parts to accomplish these repairs cost $850. The mechanics advise me that this bus if operated within the speed limits imposed by its gear ratio should serve several years without giving undue problems. Because of its gear ratio the bus should be confined to relatively short hauls that can be accomplished without having to drive beyond 45 miles per hour. .1962 CHEVROLET BUS PRESENT COND TION: This veh cle has passed the standard N.
