Quoted from Todd's Email:
"Some of Mehlville's first school buses. At the time, they read "MEHLVILLE
PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT" on the sides. In 1937, the state of Missouri mandated
that school transportation should be free for students. A local election was
then held during the summer of 1937 to authorize the purchase of three buses for
the Mehlville School District."
