Old Town of Broad Ripple Meeting Minutes #4
posted: Jun. 24, 2004
The Town of Broad Ripple was incorporated in 1894 and started holding regular meetings.
In this column, each issue, I will print my transcription of the old Town of Broad Ripple meeting minutes. These are taken from the original, hand-written minutes that contain many spelling errors. I have transcribed all of the records as they were entered, including those errors. I will make some corrections in brackets [ ].
In the last installment: The Indianapolis and Broad Ripple Transit Company was started and a badge was ordered for the town marshal.
Here is the fourth installment:
