One Bus Serves 1200 Marseilles Students In Illinois
The Marseilles Unit District No 55 operates a single 54 passenger bus leased from Warland Bus Service to shuttle high school students to the Area Vocational Center in LaSalle. Most students walk or carpool as the district, non-wealthy and state aided, has no regular bus service beyond extracurricular trips.

New Florida Prison Delayed Amid Inmate Surge Near Cape Kennedy
Emmett Roberts, secretary of the department, said a new 600 bed prison near Cape Kennedy would not be finished for two years as the state searches for inmate housing. With population at an all time high and 200 more waiting in county jails, the system cannot take more now. About 200 prisoners await admission to the state system.
