Elections the ballot of November 1974 was lost. There have been two liquor
licenses that have been applied for.

bar in Carlisle. Two applications have been applied for liquor license.

not to request a hearing. Council was aware that the schools and Hillcrest
Baptist would be notified by the state Ohio Division of Liquor Control. The
