Old Town of Broad Ripple Meeting Minutes #28
posted: May 27, 2005
The Town of Broad Ripple was incorporated in 1894, and started holding regular meetings at that time. In 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 the records as they were entered, including errors. I will make some corrections to the text in brackets [ ]. The original minutes books are at the Indiana State Archives at 6440 E. 30th St.
In the last installment: Marshall told Meek his building was unsafe.
Here is the twenty-eighth installment:
