The Carlisle News questions public demand for electric lights in Carlisle. Oil street lamps number 30 plus, bought and maintained by citizens, but a move to electric arc lights faces mixed company response and requires citizen uptake. Sullivan Electric, now Clinton capital owned, expands in Sullivan and readies day and night service while supplying nearby Shelburn and Farmersburg.
