• Glasgow Corporation officials said last Friday that it will cost £132,550 to fit klaxon warning systems to all 1,200 buses in the city and to fit two way radio sets to 600 of them.
But with the second week-end curfew it seemed that busmen would not be satisfied with their safety until the beat-thethugs measures were actually fitted and working.
The working committee set up by the transport committee to probe the problems and cost associated with the safety measures is meeting "almost daily" and according to Mr. Graham Spence, subconvener, the problems have not been as
insurmountable as was first feared.
Three firms have demonstrated pocket radios to the committee. But Bailie James Anderson, police convener, says that "even with the best will in the world" it will be impossible to fit the klaxons and radios for at least three months.
Bailie Anderson said the average cost of fitting klaxon warning systems to buses was £27 for each bus. Cost of the radios depended on the system used. If the radios were the same as those used by the police it would cost £115 for each bus.
This system would require the building of at least 10 booster stations at a cost of about £600 each.
