Carlisle needs some new resi-. dences and needs them badly. There is hardly day passes that We do not hear some inquir- ing for a residence There are plenty of vacant lots in Carlisle and they should be made to pay some income instead Of laying idle. If you have a vacant lot and are able to build a house on it you are doing Carlisle an in justice by not doing so.
